Yeah it's pretty dry IMO. I had a lot of fun with the 10 or so beta matches I was able to play, but I worry about SF5 once the new-game smell wears off. It's pretty much just SF2 + everyone has an install super.
But I'll probably be happy with it at the end of the day because it removes a lot of shit from SF4 that I hate.
Like in 4, how often is lvl 3 focus even practical? But because of lvl 3 focus being super OP as a meaty otherwise, they gave everyone invincible backdashes that constantly affects the flow of the game. Dumb as fuck.
Finally at home after EVO.
Helluva weekend. Shoutouts to Rentahamster, Shouta, Vulva, Blackule, Q and everyone else I might be missing. Made it out of my pool in Ultra, tried not to get DQed in Xrd(same hour as ultra quarter finals), still had to choose Ultra. After I got eliminated the judge told me that I wasn't really out because she made a mistake, then after a quick while came back to me to tell me that yeah, I was out. Got to borrow my stick to KojiKOG(thanks to shouta), was devastaded after his elimination
Please world don't ever learn the honda matchup so I can fraud my way out of pools again if I get to go to EVO again. At least I'm happy I'm in most of UMvC3/USF4 finals pics because I got to be inside "the pit". Again, helluva weekend, helluva experience. A shame I had no internet access to talk to the gaf guys and maybe play some games
See ya guys next time, hopefully!
Bonus: My last match of pools, edited by a proud peruvian friend lol

Ehh
There are still 8 more characters to be revealed and 9 more yet to be played. Nobody is really getting max damage at this point and nobody truly knows how important white damage, v reversal, and a bunch of other things are. It's too early to declare anything at this point.
Tokido using the v reversal to escape a chip kill was awesome to see. Things like that can make things hype. Just wait until ppl actually really play the game. I think tension is what makes things hype. Marvel is flashy, but I personally find it boring. I think Smash is boring. There are a lot of people that find those games hype. We'll see what happens with SFV, but just because it's not as flashy at first glance doesn't mean it will not be more hype than 4.

O.Sagat has really good zoning, ya. It's not like every MU with him plays out exactly like how it did in the vid. I mean it's like posting this and saying that's all the SF3 series is.

Did someone say max damage!?

WB gutabo. Don't worry, no one will ever figure out the Honda match-up. Look at Mike Ross!
Dustloop was a big tumbleweed highway for me.
Which is why I just make my own notes/guides and share or consult with other players on twitter.

Hoodaman actually helped me out a bunch with the Honda matchup after a close set at NCR. Really nice guy, too.

Also Shouta, looks like I'm moving to Washington in September. Maybe we can get some IRL sets in from time to time.

I love watching SF4 shoto matches. Some other match-ups can get boring there, but there is always tension (to me) for the most part.
I don't find MKX that fun to watch really, because I do not feel the tension in that game from watching it.

When? We should have a monthly in the 2nd week of Sept, I think. So you can check that out too. USF4 and Smash 4 at the same event too.

Smash is a different case I think...especially since Melee came before Twitch. Matches are exciting for smash players and I don't think they're dependent on outsider spectator appeal the way Marvel 3 and Street Fighter 4 are. Enough fans appreciate the game for it to not matter.
I hope that if SF5 isn't a rollercoaster of flashiness, that it would also not matter in the same way as Smash. In fact, I would prefer it to be that way.

I'm moving up with my friend early September (his words, since he's doing the planning), but I don't think I can make that one. Will look into it if iI get there early enough though.

Ah, OK. Well, there's always October too. =o
It's been along time since a USF4 major has been anything but exciting IMO. I understand not loving it's mechanisms or pace, but it delivers at the highest level in a way that most (if not all current games) do not.
Never found 3S particularly hype TBH. Not in tournament sized samples anyway.

3S is only interesting to watch when Chun, Yun, and Ken aren't involved. And even then...there has to be nothing else on.

Speaking of which, where did Haitani actually go? I remember he was doing pretty well in AE and showed us that Makoto is still as scary as she was in 3S.
He plays Rufus now lol. If you're looking for some Makoto, check out Misse

Something resembling KoF news, again in their recruitment page - this time in the shape of a new Leona model: http://www.snkplaymore.co.jp/employment/

Honestly, the casual viewer doesn't know which combos are 1 frame links and I think the combos in SFV will look just like the combos in SF4 to them. Only people into SF will know that and I think crowd hype and commentators will be much more important than flashy combos. I also think reputation matters and the concern over flashiness will just end up trickling down to stream monsters so I think it's important to not stress over it as a lot of stream monsters are part of that hive mentality.
PS3 USF4 is less than £10 on the UK store if anyone is interested (cheaper still with PS+).

At work and my phone's dead; can you rehost the Leona model please?
So, who here still plays UNIEL?
Looks pretty bad. Are you sure it isn't from Maximum Impact?

Well plug it back in! Unless you mean you sold it or is at another far away home.

isn't that what you niggas wanted
Looks good to me, although I wouldn't blame it for not quite matching the craftmanship of more experienced 3D developers.
In MI she uses her classic uniform, while in this version we see her shoulder, as in her XII and XIII design.
There's an alternate design in MI2 where her shoulders are visible, but her hair is completely different there.
I'd say the same for Hawk. At least Makoto doesn't have to deal with Hawk-Blanka. I won't even played Hawk twice in a row on ranked matches in SF4 vs the same person beause half the time you know Blanka's coming out.
Oh great, a new pachinko game

A new pachinko game can afford better looking 3D models.

Well at least that's something new.
Will reserve judgment until we see the characters in motion but that doesn't look half bad.
Exactly what it should be imo.

Doesn't look that bad, may look better in motion but I am certain that's not from MI.
Guess the next KoF will use 3D models? I'm more interested in it releasing and for its gameplay than how it looks :/
The rumor is that it would be like Xrd. Use 3d models, look like 2d.
Yeah, gameplay is what I'm most interested in as well.
The old rumor was that it would be more like 98 with simpler combos but I wonder if there is a chance that they will give tag mechanics another shot ala KOF2003 and KOFXI.

Hmm so maybe that Leona model is a WIP for the full game?

It was great seeing you dude. Too bad we weren't able to meet up to play a few games. That Cobra Kai rematch is still unresolved!
Did you go to the Mexican KOF/SF4 suite at all? Apparently their suite was right across from our suite. We didn't realize it was them until Sunday night. And they never knocked at our place to say hi because they thought we were playing anime lol.
