Yesterday's soccer match gave us one of the best .gifs ever. I hope I can use this in the evo thread.

I'm on the opposite side. Stun states are great because it diversifies gameplay by creating an alternate win condition. Chasing stun while making yourself more vulnerable to reversals or letting your opponent's stun wear off so you can maintain a dominant position safely is a serious tactical decision.
In SFIV specifically, stun creates an interesting character dynamic. Dudley has a lot of issues in the neutral that require a unique set of skills in order to get initial hits compared to other characters. But because his average combo does around 400 stun he's rewarded for the extra work with the ability to end a round in 3 combos that lead into each other. Seth has high stun and a high level of options, but very poor stamina. So he's a character that relies on chaining low-risk, medium reward gambles that turn every other character into Dudley if he messes up.
If you remove the stun system from an evenly-paced game like SFIV you run the risk of somewhat marginalizing characters that don't rely on pokes and fireballs. Stun is an example of added complexity that does add healthy strategic depth to a game. It's a universal system whose impact is understood immediately and intuitively through actual gameplay. It's a great system.

That's a she.
Oh dear. I don't know how I made such a mistake.

Haha, you weren't the only one.
Yatagarusa launches on steam, and Battle Fantasia the day after. Skullgirls 2nd Encore also launches on PS4.
We might get some news at SDCC in a couple of days.
If you meant events then I'm not sure.
See things like that is why I am glad the US never wins sf4 at evo.
What do you want them to do? Clapping isn't enough.

Don't they have an Alpha 3 cab in their offices? Shame they don't make FGs, lol.

I don't know about Alpha 3, I think there is a Third Strike cab and some arcade sticks in their gaming room, if I remember correctly. So they do play fighting games, at least some of them.

Tourney time on /r/StreetFighter today, check it out
Also we're only a couple days off from seeing if that leak posted here about comic-con proves true, I think it said they're going to tease Eagle.

Birdie and Eagle together again? Bring back T.Hawk and Garuda and call it Street Fighter V: Bird Strike

I rather it be a new character.
Eagle would be weird. 3 UK characters in a row? Eh..
Also these reveals seem pretty rapid fire, especially considering EVO is next week. I suppose we'll get a tease and some feature details and then have characters revealed at EVO.
I pray CapcomFighters at least records the panel if they don't stream it.

I foresee gifs and vids...
Dante's s.M (when you see it...)
Marth's Up Tilt
The two of these just have cool looking attack arcs and I love that stuff visually. It also helps that the two characters get some really fun stuff off of it.

I realize that as much as I'm a function over form type most times, I'm very easily amused by good animations. This brutish chick just standing her ground and telling everything from heaven and earth "no" with her fists is just the greatest. :lol

Been had money.
Seriously. 4 characters at TGS? Doesn't seem likely.
Well... E3, EVO and Comic Con are in pretty rapid succession. It's probably the reason we only got four characters in the first 5+ months after the games reveal.

No Solid information yet, I think. the Round 1 up here in Seattle opened over the weekend though so hopefully before Evo. ;_;

After some thought I had to give it to Rugal's Genocide Cutter, purely for cool factor.

Damn that's some nice sprite animations on the fingers. A bit too stilted to look natural, but still good.

I suppose, but that was closer to the 1 per month average I expected. I expect some dryer months leading into Capcom Cup, though. Plus betas will hold people over during that time at least. And then again, it's still kind of up in the air how many characters we'll get, just seemingly more than 16.
I foresee gifs and vids...
Ibuki's back MP.

Its an anti-air, combo extender, and a kill move (depending on % and character weight). Its amazing.Marth's Up Tilt
