I forgot how satisfying it to hit people with a Demon in this game. Finally made it back to Ultra platinum after being stuck in Super platinum hell from trying out Ed. Getting back in the groove.
Can someone explain how Itazan caught Tokido twice with the normal throw whiff -> EX Air SPD setup?
I remember trying it back when Itazan first started using it, and it seemed like the defending player could easily beat the air SPD with an air normal. Is there another layer to the setup that made Tokido not press a button during his neutral jump?

This guy literally breaks the ground when he punches you down.
Man, they desperately need a ground bounce animation in this game. It would be perfect here.
There was at least one occasion when Itazan caught him that you saw the "Counter" notification pop up, which means Tokido did try to press a button but Itazan caught him first.
At a guess, Tokido was trying to punish Itazan's whiffed throw with an air normal followed by a combo, and he pressed the air normal late to give himself maximum frame advantage on the way down, but he didn't expect Itazan to jump after him and grab him in the air.

I was watching today's NJPW G1 Climax, and Kenny Omega just said "Tokido, congratulations! I love you, my friend" during his intro to the stage.
Kenny Omega is like the best fucking person ever.

well I',m sure he'll be a target for character specific max damage combos and juggles due to his size

Yep, completely on board for Abigail. Nitro Charge sounds like a riot.
Also this is one of the best costumes in the game
Be afraid.

maybe tokido expected the land SPD and waited so he could do a jump in on the way down? did he jump neutral? don't remember this
air spd has a huge hitbox that extends from the front gief's head, so it's easy to grab people in the air, almost regardless of relative height of the jump

What will determine the quality of his costumes, all of them. Is if the tires change colors.

Stil hype about my boi taking evo. What a glorious top8
We war machine from mvc1 now
I think Street Fighter is always gonna err on the side of goofy for as long as Ono is producing it.
I would prefer the tone to shift closer to 3S, but 7 years of SFIV tempered my expectations of that happening anytime soon.
I run into a 2.5 meter tall roided up dude who wears tires as armbands and acts like a child? You bet your ass I'm bailing the fuck outta there immediately.
Mecha Zangief tbh.
ah yeah, good old 3S, the serious street fighter for the serious man
ah, vegeta, how low have you've fallen
I guess I wanted a menacing character akin to Juggs in CotA. It is what it is I guess.
I'm curious what he'll look like being thrown. Hugo already looked kind of good when he was thrown and he wasn't Abigail huge.
Dee. Jay.
Sf was never that srs
Yeah, but he could be more. I want him to step on someone in his intro and crush him into the ground and not even notice. That kinda thing
yeah
people had less extreme physiques (Sagat particularly) and Blanka still looked beast-like. the designs were over the top and ridiculous, but the actual sprites looked less cartoonish than the later Alpha, and didn't have the goofiness of some of the 3 series characters
Oh yeah.
Dee Jay's the best Streer Fighter character, honestly. His whole story is that he is a dude to whom amazing things just happen randomly.

People have the worst fucking memory.
Street Fighter has always been ridiculous. It was just always sprites so the ridiculousness could just be passed off easily as it had a "cartoonish" look.

yeah I would say c.lp to be his 3 frame normal. Mostly for checking with. It really improves your defense and Ken seems the odd shoto not having one. I know in the beta it caused problems with his run creating an infinite I believe but that's poor design then if they can't give him a good jab without breaking his movesets.
@Edzi I don't play Ken dumb at all, I don't get why people assume that online Ken play is the standard, that hardly gets you anywhere in real matches anyway besides Eita controlled crazy. Wanting his HK to no be slow as molasses and a 3 frame jab is reasonable buffs IMO.
Zangief dancing with Gorbachev is serious business.
It doesn't bug me as much as it did with FANG, who actually can look menacing when not in motion. Abigail looks like a gigantic doofus right out the gate.
Yeah.
And as soon as the sprites and animation started to get more detailed (around Alpha), you really started seeing that goofiness shine through. Alpha itself actually had a relatively dark storyline (with Ryu's struggles with the Satsui No Hado, Charlie's betrayal and murder, etc.) but it was also the series that introduced jokey folks like Sakura and Dan, as well as the series' anime aesthetic and Saturday morning cartoon plot devices like Bison's psycho drive. The whole thing was generally fairly lighthearted.
Man, Alpha was the best.

All business and all boring.
Except for that one time Capcom tried going for the serious look:
We all know how that went.
I ain't say 3S was serious. There's plenty goofiness in 3S. It just had a better tonal balance compared to the following Street Fighters.

why do these people have such tiny hands
dunno man
going by the endings alone, it is the goofiest one. MAYBE except Alpha 3. Maybe. and the boss was a guy painted blue and red who was wanted for stealing a car, but who ALSO wanted to create the utopia
3S in tone is all over the place
at least when Bison is the villain, people want to kill him for his evil ways, not because he will paint you red and blue or because he nicked your car
When you think about it, it actually is kind of hilarious that Gill just straight up carjacked Dudley.
I've been watching some sets from last night, and man. Forever in awe of Kazunoko's ability to space his divekicks so that he can always combo from them afterward. I'm not sure he's the best Cammy in the world (though I had a good feeling that he could beat Nuckledu), but things like that plus his godly normal pressure make him so fun to watch.

Too bad when he fought tokido he spaced his divekicks high up on tokidos body and was blocked and fully punished

Tokido was the only one to figure out a good means of messing up Punk's spacing so he couldn't do shit so losing to Tokido is allllrrright
Tokido was moving forward to force the divekick to hit higher. He really was playing on another level last night.
Alpha was indeed the best. Thoroughly disagree with some of your points. The goofiness didnt 'shine through' in alpha. It was a small piece of the whole presentation. It worked well because the designers knew where the line was. There was plenty of darkness in the alpha games. The reason it worked so well was because there was a general aesthetic that balanced it all out. The real triumph of alpha was that it struck a fine line.
Yeah, whenever I see Cammy jump, my instinct is to backdash away. Somehow have to train myself to do the exact opposite and walk forward.

Anyone wanna play right now?
Alpha 1 and 2 have a p clear aesthetic: anime
Alpha 3 also has a p clear aesthetic: gag anime
