Cervantes reveal trailer
 
 

THIS GAME, bruhhhhhh 😮
 
 

I'll probably hit you up for a Battle Lounge like that sometime next week. I'm going out to a friend's house tomorrow for a party and he has very good Internet Connection speed, but IMO it's bad form to bring a laptop to something social like that. Besides, I'm going to have to re-learn everything because in addition to learning the long, difficult road of Bob Sagat and The President of The World, I've started to learn Ed with his V-Trigger II and it's basically a whole new character again. I can see some potential with him in that version, but Sagat & G are so much better overall it's harder and harder to stick with him.
 
I mainly have been fighting the SFV blues with extended runs at Enter the Gungeon and Yakuza 0, while I know Soul Calibur VI and the Hokuto No Ken-ized Yakuza spin-off coming will keep me occupied next month and into the 'Murrican holiday season.

Found a new arcade in Brooklyn!  Everyone knows about Next Level, but people don't know about this one, which is right around the corner!
 
It's called I Fix Machine and has 10+ candy cabs with real arcade hardware/swappable games, as well as a bunch of modern cabs with PS4s/PCs with Steam inside.  Great place to hang.  All machines are free play -- just $10 a day.  It's where I've been getting my fighting game fix for the past few days.

OK, so after a little break to catch up on my backlog of games and detox a little from SFV, I come back in, complete the Monster Hunter & Air Man stuff, get the SF1 "Mike" costume on my first try... And then I somehow end up in a casual match with who I think is Fuudo? As my first "Live" match in SFV in almost a month?
 
Yeah, crazy-cool day. I almost won a round on him too with Ed.
 
EDIT: After some exhaustive research, I now cannot confirm that the R. Mika player I fought really was Fuudo. But the account  was from China and Fuudo is in China right now for the latest CPT event, the name on PSN was "Maapofuudo" and he fought like every match video of Fuudo's R. Mika I've ever seen... No schoolgirl costume though; It was the red default that Fuudo used at EVO in the finals.

Thanks for the words y'all. Playing through Yakuza 0 is making me mad that Tekken 7 didn't get Kiryu or Majima as a guest character... Well, that's in between doing Karaoke, The Batting Cages, the Driving Range, Playing Outrun & Space Harrier, Phonecall hook-ups... I'll probably drop 100 hours into that game just in sidequests.
 
Also, I kind of want a Season 4 of SFV or a new game that has Fei-Long back... And I don't know why.

I posted this elsewhere, but I think I'm going to take a break from fighting games of all types for a while. Nothing I play seems fun to me anymore and my local scene is full of greedy, lazy a-holes that just make shit more toxic and drama-fueled than it has to be.
 
Also, my internet is trash and anything better costs more than probably anywhere else in 'Murrica because of telecom companies basically having a monopoly on territory rights, so... Yeah, $150 a month for internet I can actually get matches with y'all on in any game I play is out of the question unless I move out of my home state and go somewhere else... And that's not really an option either...
 
TL;DR I'm depressed, so I'm gonna play some other stuff in my backlog.

Seems like you had a good time!
 
It's a shame you could only play that one filthy game the whole time.  Keep it up with UNIST and try some Blazblue (not cross tag) some time! I've recently started playing it again with some buddies.

Glad you're enjoying G! He's a rad character.
 
Makoto is rumored every time the new seasons roll around. She's a very popular character so there is always the chance that she shows up. Good news is that Capcom learned from their silhouettes in S1/S2 and they just cold revealed everyone for S3, so we should know the S4 cast after the CPT finals. Keep an eye out for a scarf karate girl maybe showing up then.
 
 post about EVO starting now. @Darc_Requiem some light reading for you fam. 😉
 
 
@misterBee I mentioned it briefly but all the above applies to UNIST as well. Gonna try to split my time and keep up with the anime. 👍 

We got trailers now.
 
G
 
Sagat
 

G and SAGAT tomorrow!! YOOOOO, I think I'm coming down with an illness. Gonna have to call into work tomorrow. 😉

Astaroth and Seong Mi-Na confirmed!!!
 
 

On one hand, I'm happy that some of the costumes I missed out on can be acquired again. On the other hand, I spent all of my FM on costumes, stages and colors...

Some Missing Costumes Are Back

Yes.

Not necessarily. Aaliyah wasn't the most curvaceous woman. She was one of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Mila Jovovich has zero curves and I find her alluring. I don't really have a type.

I managed to get the last piece of the Gloria cosplay costume for Laura. I don't know which particular person or team did the detail work on this thing, but I want them to be in charge of all of the costumes for now on; This thing looks amazing.
 
I also lost enough matches that I ranked down twice, so I guess it's back to the Rookie cellars for me. Lastly, my local gaming group finally is going to test the waters and host a night of SFV again ahead of EVO, so I've got an actual tournament I can compete in tomorrow!

Ew, Laura. She is cooties made flesh.
Also, a Sim rage quit me today. 😞

@GetTheTables This Laura cosplay Gloria costume. Damn fam. They put work into this one. I don't even see the usual clipping.

Signed up for this and the SRK one.
 
Also, I got a moment to get some games in today and dear god, Karin is such a fucking nightmare to fight against for me holy shit. Fighting six Akumas right after was no picnic either...
