You a sunbro too Smedwicks?
Well, for a lot of demoddings we don't know the full picture.
A few weeks ago we lost Blackace, and it doesn't seem like it was amicable from what he's hinted at. I think Blackace has left the site entirely, actually.

Scarlet because she gave out personal info or something. Forgot the whole story behind that one.

He's one of the mods who would delete posts. So, good.

I think some characters are definitely going to have it easier than others. Like Sol being able to do it from his RC'd command grab (although that costs full meter and there are likely less meter intensive ways to land it).
Instant Kill in general seems like a very interesting mechanic at least compared to Astrals in the sense that you can do it at any time but there's a hefty penalty if you mess it up.
I expect many YOLO Instant Kills in Gaf's Xrd future.
I seriously can't wait. I haven't even played it yet but I feel that it's going to the game of the year for me.
It would be funny if it was something as simple as CH greed sever.
Looks like it's even simpler than that.
Requoting from another thread. A new Xrd Ky combo video.
Atlanta (or Baltimore, depending on time of year) is a really strange place. I looked around for capcom games and got sucked into a vortex of anime instead.
Yep, getting mugged drove me to get my own car. Baltimore hella scary.

I'm with you. They didn't do much to differentiate it from SFxT. I keep thinking it's SFxT when they play on those stages, especially when they are playing the SFxT characters.

100% this. If nobody makes a mod for the PC version so that I never have to see those stages in SF4, I'm gonna learn how to mod so I can make that shit myself.
Fuck those stages.
Atlanta? >.> I'm from TN and Idk a lot of serious anime guys from there outside of like Eshi/Skelly/SG/Ivy/ZomB/Reptar, those guys. They need to come up more often, haven't seen anybody outside of Skelly since BBCP release. We used to have a pretty good anime group but they've been hella lazy and just not supportive lately outside a couple people, it's kinda crummy.
I think it's 175 wins -- the player card at the beginning shows kubo at 319-16. Not quote up there with Ogawa yet ( :V ), but that's a silly winstreak.
I think hella lazy is a good way to describe the people around me (and me), haha. At this point we're just really content with meeting up at houses or local tourneys; I think we reached a never ending cycle of "I should really travel and keep anime alive....but there's local anime so nah I'm good". We've had some drop off too, something about Brokonoe and "I'll just wait for Arcana Heart/GG/P4U2".

It was a ban record entry copied as-is to a third party.
(Not that I agreed with it.)
I'm not anime enough.
Chikusoooooo.
Yeah I agree with you, and this is coming from someone that loves SFxT. Stages are just so damn terrible.

oh was that the "personal info" Evilore mentioned?
We can't even get guys to drive an hour for meet ups at the moment. The KiT TOs gave us slots for anime, and we had less than half our TN people there and it was plain embarrassing. Seeing some severe drop off. I'd probably be going to Final Round if I had gotten to play an ASW game offline consistently but it's just not happening.
Quite nice. Thank you!

OMG, that's the best quality footage I've seen of XRD outside the trailers. Someone is doing something right.
I don't remember what was reported, just what happened.
Awesome. Can't wait to try out this Ky.
Hey, it's not my fault that Japanese arcades can't encode in anything beyond 240p! They make bifuteki look good.
Did you ever talk to anybody over there about how that works?
I have yet to write a message to Xie. I have his email though, and will be reaching out to him by EOD tomorrow.
That's definitely not something I'm letting drop off my plate.
No worries, just curious. I'm always up for improving relations with Japan. A few of our Persona players reach out to their top players on twitter (our top Naoto talks to Denpa, our best Liz talks to Okusan) and it's been super neat. Best of luck, I'd like to see them sending better videos our way >_<
Yikes, sorry to hear about that. I'm a bit worried about the community not staying together, but at the moment it's being held together by minority hype and the fact that so many colleges are close to one another.
But the space stage looks...it looks like a stage. Something about how dark the background looks unnerves me, but maybe I didn't notice it as hard in SFxT.

(just going off of memory here) The info was used for "blackmail" purposes by Costanza, who obtained the info from Scarlet. It's been literally years since I read the storytime thread.
Street Fighter Assassin's Fist Q&A.
Interesting bit about halfway through where he talks about the tone and art of the film, including how a lot of Akuma's moves in the games are inspired by certain ancient monk statues and stuff. He also says he hates when fight choreography in game adaptations is just general Hong Kong style fighting with random special moves occasionally placed in, which makes me excited for what he has choreographed. It's pretty crazy how meticulous they've been even just looking at the time periods the series spans. He also confirmed Ryu will do the collarbone breaker and a lot of normals that you'll recognize Kreygasm
He also says if it is successful, a follow-up would be doing the World Warrior series with more grounded reasons for needing a host body and starting a tournament. He also shits on SF4's art style and cartooniness if that's your thing.
Honestly, this project is like a dream come true.

The eternal motto of the anime-FGC. ^_^
That said, folks are hype for Arcana here (not so much Persona though unfortunately)
Persona is one of those games I liked, but never got too deep into it- so I deservedly got bopped when I tried to enter a major.
A sunbro? Come on man, you haven't wished you were so grossly incandescent?
I wouldn't wish the sun on the worst of my enemies. Stop relying on others as a clutch and be a Darkwraith, the best covenant.

Would love to learn P4A, but I feel like it's too late. Plus I don't know if I'd be able to juggle it with all the other fighters.
Eh, if you get the chance to juggle it, it's not too late. Depending on the character, a ton of stuff is going to carry over to P4U2 most likely. Besides that fact, it's never too late to get into anything. I just started learning Project Justice like 6 months ago and am just now learning AH3. I personally think it's kind of silly to say it's too late to get into something, the games aren't going anywhere. I do understand the sentiment of wanting to play when the most players are there, but eh, I'm kinda used to tiny player bases personally.
Not saying everybody should play everything, but if something interests you there is no reason not to go for it outside of not having the time, and that's understandable. Just play what you think is fun. If only 8 people show up, who cares? At least you can spend time playing a game you like. Gotta make choices, at least choose something you like.
Yeah... definitely don't do this or you'll make a lot of purchases you regret. I know I have made a lot of them and I've learned nothing from it.
And if you're one who likes to poke around in a fighting game even if you aren't taking it seriously, learn to rein in those impulses.

Can't -- I loathe the SFIV series and guess what?! I'll be buying ultra anyway just to see if the changes are enough for me to enjoy it! I knew nothing about aquapazza and bought that just to end up playing it for a day! I'll be buying the new AH3 when that drops, too, despite being complete ass at it.

I can't wait to buy Ultra then never play it.
