The Street Calibur 5 Lounge: The Soul Burns But not as Hard as the FGC is Burning

The original is definitely worth it. Masterclass in game design and was the inspiration for Super Metroid. I occasionally watch speedrunners do randomizer races on them. They have tournaments with commentators and everything. (One tourney takes most the entire year since each 1:1 matchup takes an hour or so.) Here’s the one from 2017 when they still used super-informative overlays for the spectators.

As for Z2… meh. I owned it and completed it back in the day without tips, but the game has dull level design and is a bit grindy. You’re not missing much by skipping it. I wish they’d remake it as a proper metroidvania. I actually prefer Castlevania 2 over Zelda 2 since they’re practically the same game.

That’s the pre-show. He’s not doing commentary.

Yo I checked Twitter today and apparently somebody tried to cancel Bum and Scamby too?

What the shit is going on

@PlusFrames I know I keep pinging you, but I thought you’d appreciate this video from Nica KO. You were asking about post Jinrai stuff, so here you are:

I’m confused. Is he doing jump roundhouse because it effects your jump trajectory? It’s seems like if he just did an empty super jump against Ken, he’d cross up all of the time, whereas when he did super jump roundhouses he’d land in front or behind… I’m guessing when he presses roundhouse is what effects it?

Has anybody else’s ISP gone to shit since Corona, I haven’t been able to play a game online since the beginning of lockdown. This has been the most boring 2/3 months of my entire life.

My ISP has been unreliable. When it works its fine, but I have more outages in the last 4 months than I have had in the previous 6 years.

Well said too

Yeah, mine’s trash. I can’t seem to download faster than 6 mbps on a good day.

I’ve mostly been playing bare-bone games with decent netcodes (SF2, 3, Skullgirls, etc) and haven’t had issues

Hey everyone, been long ass time since i posted here, hope everyone is doing well.

Regarding the ISPs thing, yeah, i work at the biggest ISP company here in Egypt and i can confirm that there is indeed some throttling to the connections.

The issue is that since everyone is at home, the traffic towards streaming services like Netflix is at an all time high, and also a ton of people are working from home. So the ISPs are kinda throttling the connections to make sure that everyone can have functional internet.

The issue is that, most ISPs sells to customers bandwidth that they can’t really deliver on. Like say, the gateway for the ISP is 10 GB for example, then they sell a 100 GB worth of bandwidth to customers cause they know that not everyone is gonna be using the internet at the same time, so the links wouldn’t really be uitilized all that much.

So when people DID need to use the bandwidth, instead of the whole structure collapsing, they simply downgraded the individual’s bandwidth.

Its fucked up, but that’s sadly is how it is in most of the ISPs from my knowledge.

Also to add to this, Enterprise connections take top priority here.

So if the total Bandwidth available to the ISP is 50 % for enterprise and 50% for the home users. They will make sure that the Enterprise share of the BW is delivered at 100% capacity.

They can’t downgrade their connections at all, so us home user get the short end of the stick here as well.

Nope. He’s doing that to get an early j.HK to combo into super if it hits. Also, crossing up post-SA3 is dependent on timing; doesn’t happen every time.

Not many games can claim they have an evil death chicken grapple a tank with a face and whip it around like a bag of groceries.
