I actually just got this monitor and dropped it into my Extension cabinet. While I wish they made a 32" to better fit my cab, the 27" is big enough.
Out of the box, I set it to "Fighting" game mode and everything from the color to the response time is great. Well worth the money.

Can't ignore Kappa. Shit is too far ingrained in the internet FGC and the community offline in some parts to just turn away. Best one can hope for is guiding them to talk about and support games they like and ignoring the shitposts as much as possible. But the internet would have to chip in on that, and SFV needs to stop feeding them easy lick, and well...
But like, the top posts usually are shitposts though. And if they don't address the top posts, then people get pissy that they aren't talking to those and are "avoiding" questions. Like, you and I would know Capcom doesn't want to engage the vitrol, but for some Kappa users, that's an extra excuse as to why Capcom and SFV suck. It'll be clipped/print screen'd/whatever, made into another post on Kappa, and people will shitpost there. None of that is worth the effort.
That's true. They, just as Kappa does, need a PR and communication boost. Like soon.
Most of his statements barring the DP fiasco have been pretty innocuous to me. That, and the "whats ur agenda", but that needs better phrasing, as you said. Or maybe it's because I work with many other companies and their snafus are leagues worse than Capcom or most game companies could ever do. Either way, they need a straight PR person yesterday and not run their shit through their employees as their mouthpiece.
Yeah, he's not doing anyone favors. Like, if SFV didn't get the heat, none of his Tweets would matter. But since they are, this dude is a meme factory and an easy target for people.
Not sure. I think the key is to say if multiple people contradict your narrative that they're projecting though.
I agree with some of this though. Kappa is just fgcs venting channel. It's not a totality. I'm sure if he spoke with other people in the community he'd find the same opinions. They just don't post it on r/sf bc they can't or on their timelines bc they do t want to clutter it.
They put it on r/kappa, which collects these things. Like, 80% of r/sf s user base was found to be r/kappas base. These are NOT outsiders coming out of nowhere
I 100% believe this. Seriously.

Gfinity weekly series, with FWord and Logan on the mic:

John D is the small trace of Harada that Capcom has. Actually calling out people, unlike Ono who is super nice to everyone...and as a result people step on him even more.
People clown Capcom regardless of what they say, do, don't say, or don't do.
John D can clap back if he wants to. They're human beings, too. Working hard.

Reddit communities (at least for specific gaming ones) tend to follow a very predictable pattern of "the smaller it is, the more friendly and generally better it is".
You go into a place like r/dota2 and the place is a shitfest even though I remember specifically that it used to be a very fun place to hang out like 4 years ago when it was notably smaller.
r/SF and r/Tekken in particular are pretty good communities where there's good jokes, memes and a lot of good discussions to be had. Those guys are also VERY helpful in providing tips and info.
r/Kappa is the polar opposite where there's shitposting, hatred towards SFV and porn aplenty. But good discussion or humour is rarely found. And it's no surprise that r/Kappa is also a very active subreddit.
Same thing he does everywhere else, lose.

r/SF outnumbers Kappa by well over 10 times.

Then I guess my point kinda failed there.
r/SF : 50,630 subscribers (690 browsing)
r/Kappa: 42,205 subscribers (1,820 browsing)
Also I don't think that's true.
r/SF : 50,630 subscribers (690 browsing)
r/Kappa: 42,205 subscribers (1,820 browsing)
I remember seeing a Julio/Momo mirror set at a tournament that was similarly, hilariously lopsided in terms of skill on display.
Yeah, Kappa is basically full of people who play non-SF fighters, like thicc Asians, and/or hate SFV.
r/SF is full of people who hate SFV.
John D has not an ounce of the credibility that harada has when making these "clapbacks".
He is the Story Mode necalli of Capcom. Shows up, makes noise, has no purpose in the general scheme of things, and is dismissed almost immediately
Cool that gfinity is doing stuff though

There are narratives all over the place, the biggest (and most damaging and irrelevant) being what Chen has mentioned on Kappa. I agree with what the Spoiler has said though, that place would be hard to ignore so it's best to guide the conversation in the right direction and something that gives more constructive feedback.
HARAM.

I go there for the discussion and the well written articles.
I lurk daily on Kappa. Sometimes post. I bought a t-shirt that helped bring players to Evo this year. I think that people are overestimating the influence this subreddit has though.
Also I don't hate SFV but I do feel disappointed in the amount of spectacle this game brings compared to Usf4 as a viewer.

That's funny, most of those subs dispose of articles rather quickly
This is so goddamn satisfying. Chris T is delusional about his Ken play to the point where he constantly claims to share Momochi's playstyle, so it's nice to see him get smoked by the man himself.

Finally starting to incorporate st. LK buffers into my matches and man it feels so good to land them. Like for a moment I feel like a platinum when I'm really only Ultra Gold. I'm not finding it too useful against everybody, but I think it'll be very helpful against characters like Karin, Cammy, and Alex who have great long range medium pokes and love counter poking with them after blocking my st. MK.
Yeah, I agree with Chen about all the negativity but kappa doesn't have that much influence. Unless they're secretly the source of everyone trashing the game on the internet on every forum I've seen.
The SF thread about the Chen post is silly, though. All the top comments are shitting on SFV and so many people there are claiming that Kappa is the only place where you can hear the truth about SFV. Their viewpoint is the majority's viewpoint and they're acting like underdogs. Motherfucker, you can't be Rocky Balboa AND Apollo Creed at the same time.
Do you still play ryu?
He's seriously one of the more irritating players to listen to talk. All of S1 was him talking about how all characters were better than Ken but he was too much of a loyalist to switch. He'd go on and cast during WNF and all of his casts would be pointing out things characters had that was so much better than Ken. It was so annoying to listen to.

It's funny how I had so many "mains" leading up to Abigail but he is definitely it. Unless Hugo drops. Well, maybe Sodom too. But really, Abigail is my main. For now.

Yeah, pretty much a Ryu main for life.
My condolences

I read the subs as 506K, not 56K lol.
Just wait until E.Ryu lands.

What's happening in his mind here? Is he trying to keep from strangling Mo, or is his brain legit broken?

Not to my knowledge. They still haven't announced when either.
There are barely 500k watching evo lol

He needs to take tips from Aris on harnessing his quan.
"I'm the greatest player but my character is so bad. I don't get how I'm supposed to show my greatness with the worst character in the game but I can't switch."

Yeah, I definitely gotta YOLO more. I'm watching #1 ranked Ken and outside of admiring his one-hit confirms into good damage, I'm like "this guy is kinda crazy!" Def gotta play more outside the box.
lol...Heavy Tatsu is actually pretty good in Trigger. It's -2 on block, (used to be plus)
I've really calmed down with DP on wakeup though, without invincible frames, I don't feel like the risk is worth taking. If someone is gonna miss time something, might as well throw out a low jab instead of trying to DP.
Ken's fun when you play random though, I really just want my old c.mp back '-) His pressure consistent of mostly jabs now and one hit confirming.
