Why are you guys against the discord trash talk during stream?
We don’t have to if some people here think it’s a really bad idea

[Akhos]

Beat a Super Diamond Juri and he ran it back and didn’t rage quit.

I guess Juri players are the only ones with any honor left.

I hate streams and I hate trash talking mid-match.

Nothing else to it.

You can do what you want, not like I’ll be participating.

[Vhozite]

Why will acting like he’s gonna cut himself a Nash main?

[YorKeY]

Of course Juri players are the only ones with honor left, the one’s who have played her for 2 seasons despite her " being bottom tier " are angels among men. Now they will reap the rewards come season 3 when she’s buffed.

He’s a Laura player,probably Juri is his second.

Why the fuck do people hit ready with 3 bar connections?

better yet, why when you kick them do they constantly keep coming back into your lounge?

And spam the preset text
Shit like
Let’s have a good match!
No fuck you
Fuck out my lobby

Oh yea, I love that one.
Some rando hops in with a 2 bar connection and some flag from across the fucking globe and types “lets have a good match.”

Uhhh no bitch, lets not.

Actually I’d be happy to have a good match with that sort of rando…assuming that they pay for my airfare and hotel accommodations so that I can travel to wherever the fuck they live.

@itzpookiie when exactly is tonight? like compared to now

[Dime]

Punk uses Karin’s st.mk all day long. ESPECIALLY in the its usually footsie for a bit… walk up st.mk… footsie for a bit… opponent tries to maintain distant epoutside of st.mk range, punk v skills and hits them somehow.

Lots of his matches start out that way.

Looking at recent stuff it doesn’t seem to be the case. Recent match I watched from a few days ago with Mago vs Dogura’s Urien and he barely pressed s.MK at all. I thought ok just what I figured, but lemme see what’s going on with Punk in what would be his most recent matches.

In this set he presses s.MK maybe twice the entire set of matches. Just seems like it’s not worth it to press for the lack of reward (with placing it in a bad spot means you take a CC). It can space for certain buttons, but if people already aren’t pressing it as it is, minus 4 isn’t going to do much but force the issue of using it from a bit further away than they probably already are. He was pressing plenty of everything else I listed instead of the s.MK.

I watched his match vs Mena at SCR and he started maybe the very first round of the first match with a few s.MK’s and then didn’t bother with it after that. That’s vs a character with long buttons like Birdie.

Dude… he uses it a lot. In those matches specifically he used like I said he did… at the beginning of rounds to check his opponents spacing… although he wasn’t using the max range v skill here. He doesn’t want to abuse it against Urien for obvious reasons, but watch some of his games versus characters with weaker pokes and you will see him using it a good amount ESPECIALLY in the beginning of a round.

Anywho, this is a better set of matches to see the abuse of the button. They both use it to setup spacing, but it isn’t the meat. It’s just the setup. Once the game goes from neutral into more aggressive pressure then they use the buttons you are talking about, but the st.mk is usually first to get the ball rolling and establish spacing:

You really need only watch the first round.

Yeah Karin can use s.MK vs herself a lot because it outranges a lot of her own buttons, but that’s also the mirror where Karin isn’t going to be doing anything wild like jumping or air movement or doing a flying special move.

In matches like vs Birdie and Urien, there isn’t much reason to throw s.MK around a lot because they outrange it with stuff that’s more damaging and they have flying moves that can catch you whiffing it and then you’re in trouble. Vs characters that are purely trying to play ground game like Cammy it’s probably worth using, but past that I’m not seeing it much vs the more explosive characters.

Which either way gets to the point where the minus 4 won’t mean much as even in the Punk vs Mago video, they’re using it from a range where minus 4 would not make a huge difference.

He uses the st.mk a lot versus characters that can’t handle the st.mk. Basically, characters that have stubby normals. He uses it a good amount versus smug and idom as an example. It’s a pretty important button. It’s Karin’s version of chuns fmp, but Karin has even better buttons to go to whereas all Chun really has is st.hp and cr.mk.

Yeah its’ a button where it has its matchups to use it in, but vs what is top tier or winning tournaments lately in this game there really isn’t much need to use it much as everything else can also poke or whiff punish and lead to much more damage. Basically the nerf doesn’t do anything for the matches its useful in and there’s becoming more matchups where it’s not worth pressing much any way.

Chun is too honest. Hopefully VT2 fixes everything.

@itzpookiie when exactly is tonight? like compared to now

8pm or 9pm central but I can do earlier if we can fill the spots earlier
7pm central the earliest

[Neclord]

Saw the movie Atomic Blonde last night. Really nice fight/action scenes. And Girlpower, I can recommend it.

Charlize Theron is still hot!

I’m in. Good time. No interruptions (or sleeping)

[ZioSerpe]

@itzpookiie is like 8-10 hours from now can I enter as a sub? I’ll try to make it but I cannot guarantee what my wife will be requesting tomorrow

Good to know. That is on my list.

Anti-recommendation: The Dark Tower was fucking shit. As a fan of the books it was insultingly bad but even if you haven’t read the books it’s a really weak movie. Which sucks because Idris Elba was a fascinating Roland choice (and is awesome in general) and McConaughey seemed like a cool pick for Walter.

I’d have rather spent that time fighting Mexican Alexes online.

I’m thinking about it and I might not even do round robin
We’all probably do random pick lobby for like 15-30 min then go back to regular matches
We’all see how the random pick goes at first
