@LordWilliam1234 right now
“Target acquired. Beginning mission.”
…actually not in this case. I can’t get over how her leg looks…and I don’t mean that in a good way.
To be fair people complained and talked about nerfing Abigail way before last night. If anything you guys are building the defense wall in reaction to the win.
Also sf4 isn’t dead in Japan. My youtube feed gets regularly scheduled tournament footage. It could definitely have a scene if people really tried.
Its just not mainstream enough for the rest of the world i guess. Its more cool/popular to complain about sfv than it is to actually do something about it.
It’s not just Fighting Games, it’s gaming in general. It’s the ones who put the lease amount of time and effort in the game wanting the most out of it.
They fear what might come to be if they choose to stop pussyfooting around, and when that time comes it’s better to nerf everything to make their leap of faith easier and less stressful.
Simply put, Shitters. Shitters are everywhere.
Also I missed the SF4 talk but ehhhhhhh I’m sure we’ll get another tournament to showcase SF4’s superior mechanics…SF4 is the Marvel of the Street Fighter Lineage…they’ll want to taste that SF4 crack soon enough…very soon…
He definitely can, and you’re done if it hits you…
I’m not on the nerf train though, the character is pretty beatable if you know the matchup.
“oooh if Abigail blocks Akuma’s dp, he takes 90% damage”.
Meanwhile, the top tiers can do 50%+50%, or even 33%+33%+33% way easier than Abby can do his 90%+10%.
Only thing I would “nerf” about Abigail is fixing his hurtbox on his landing, jumping, and his whiffed normals
It’s retarded as fuck when my normals go through his arm when I’m trying to whiff punish
The only nerf I would present to Abigail would be buffing Karin
Abigail is the new T.Hawk. Character that isn’t top tier, but you can play just scrubby enough with and land just big enough damage with without a whole lot of tech that people can’t stand it. I remember as soon as T.Hawk caught some extra buffs in 2012/Ultra people were already twitterplaining
Pepeday still plays SFIV. The lack of an arcade version is big deal in Japan. I’ve heard that SFIV still has a strong scene in Japan. Instead of bitching in Twitch chat, they actually get together and play what they like. I can respect that.
His mom dropped him on his head when he was baby. I tell myself that. It helps me understand why he posts the way he does 
It could be my coffee but now that I think about it…Karin should get a 30% health boost when fighting Abigail and Birdie. Turn it canon…
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that’s how we’ll start BUFFING and NERFING characters
-Karin health boost when fighting non classy disgusting characters like Abigail, Laura, Necalli, Ed, Zeku, Juri, Akuma
-If Juri encounters Bison, Akuma, Ryu, Cammy or Chun-li she automatically starts with a free VT and stores
-If Ryu encounters Akuma, Bison, Necalli or Ken he gets 25% DP Damage Boost and a new and improved fireball.
YEAHHH!!! That’s how you make the game interesting ill tell you want. I am CLEARLY on to something…merging RPG elements into Competetive fighting games…E-sports would eat this up…I need to make some calls
Whiff punishing abigail is so damn weird.
Grinding sf5 before AE comes out is** counterproductive on many levels** for nonsponsored gamers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody’s rank was reset.
Well, they try…
It’s actually very interesting to play SFIV after all this time of SFV, at least on PC people still play 4. I don’t think either of them is necessarily better than the other, just different games.
Most games have scenes in Japan because arcades allow you to go down the street off a train station, pop in some yen and play with whoever is around you. That can’t happen basically anywhere else. From what I heard the amount of people playing is less than pre SFV over in the arcades there. Combine that with the arcade version of SFV coming out in a few months and you’ll get more people converted over to playing the V cab and then only the true die hards still going in on the IV cabs. The SFV cabs apparently have Input support so your Punk’s, Nuckledu’s and Takeuchis can plug their controllers into the cabs and play. Making it even more inclusive.
I’m subscribed to the Mikado arcade youtube based in Kyoto and they put up stuff for like Alpha 2 and put up single player footage of like King of the fucking Monsters and Sango Guardian. There’s people I used to go to local tournaments and majors with in 3rd Strike that are now living in Japan partly to constantly get regular top level play in 3S.
I think what people are really inquiring about is the US/Euro renaissance for SFIV which isn’t going to happen for the same reason the renaissance for 3rd Strike in the US/Europe is likely occasional double digit at best tourney turnouts at different majors. More people are playing the new game and people feel compelled to hang out with the crowd that’s playing the new game.
Like when I went to CEO people would still play SFIV on their PS4’s and play casuals in the 24 hour casual room, but expecting like 3 to 400 man tournaments with commentary and lots of hype in the US/Europe for the game just isn’t going to happen. Especialy since by the time SF6 comes out, we’ll have all of the “SFV was so much better” people also.
Capcom reset my Fight Money rank during Season 1 so I have no chill and will never shill for capcom because they won’t let me steal from them.
Also @Midnight_Iguana I remember you saying something about smashing dumbbells into your Intergluteal cleft. Can you elaborate on the process and how it benefits your body.
God this is awesome. That dash dash ultra was the shit. T hawk was so damn cool. Condor spire into command grab is sex
The slamming dumbells on my torso thing? That’s after I finish vertical pushups.
But besides the point, this game wasn’t the same game as ultra was not the same game as sf3 was not the same game as sf2.
And those not interested in playing the game can simply stop playing the game.
