EVERYONE DROP YOUR CNF NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I change mine often as I'm an easily amused dick. I'm either Steven or JustBooming or Eggy Ken or whoever depending on who I'm playing with, just check the MS club now you've applied!

I have yet to play Ranked with this game. I kinda don't want to. Gonna keep messing around with characters until something makes me feel like taking it more seriously.

That's my feeling now, still have to decide on a main and find that secret sauce that makes things click. Same with @VhoziteI believe (difference being I'm crap)

hopefully that changes after my surgery in a couple weeks. 

Sorry if I've been inattentive, but first I've heard of that, and I hope that it goes well!

We just chose an empty lobby and fucked around in there

I assume she does it the same way Ryu does it.  With Ki.

I'm sure I read something about Laura and static electricity running her hands through her hair, but it was years ago.

Negative edge works wonders in SF1

Anyone else watching Saltmine? Kinda late to link it as it's GF, but Valmaster's Chun is great

Ten dimes for Dime

RIP to @JustBooming's SFV Guile Penance Stare avatar 😁

He still has the eye twitch, he's still orange*, he's still the same 😞

*I don't even like orange, it just gets me when AVs change and it takes a second to register who it is. I had an orange J forever, so that's the thing I guess

Found out what was wrong with perfect booms for me in combos. I got too used to SFV's late cancelling on c.mp and developed a weird timing for that without even realising it. Now if I basically plink - just a touch slower I have a far better success rate.

even if I wait for it there's a solid 75% chance I'm getting hit.

I worry about the same: can do it fine when I'm in the special kids' training mode for DI counters, but in a match, muscle memory (c.mp to boom, as one example) takes over and it'll take a good long while to break that habit, if ever.

Is the 1 million players gift the drive tickets?  Also, how long does it take to unlock the alt costumes?

I don't know, I claimed the gift ingame while online a few hours ago, and it looked just like titles. And once you're a decent level, you can just spaff ingame zenny to get costumes, maybe about 15 mins per costume.

Edit: Just tried the same with Lily, no dice. Bah.

Did anybody else just randomly get 7700 drive tickets? I was having connection probs, went to WT mode and unlocked Dhalsim's alt. I didn't receive it ingame, but when I did get back online, I got a notification saying I'd got the DTs and the costume. I already accepted the 1 mil players gift.

Edit: Only bought the base edition.I'm gonna spend it quick!

We gonna get character specific threads?

That'd be superb if the site hit a threshold of folk to do do!

Yeah, no. After 35+ years of fireballs I ain't changing.

 

How about trying the fireball as a hcf move? That's helped me in the past with such nonsense. Still a fireball motion, and one that's in your muscle memory.

Edit: I appreciate that it's not a lot different from starting from 1, but mentally mapping the fb in some circumstances to be a hcf has genuinely helped.

Saw sort of an exploit to unlock alternate costumes a tad faster in World Tour mode while browsing youtube. Gonna have to get a bit further in the mode to unlock that part of the city tho so I can see if it checks out

Around the Masters Foundation, there are a tonne of low level NPCs carrying bronze nuggets, if you inspect them you can see those. Gotta beat them in under 9 seconds to get the nugget, but that's the fastest way I've found

I bought all the costumes I wanted using coins, but a friend was wondering if you got all 10 colours for the alts earned in WT, and it turns out you do. Spammed scrapheap challenge for cash and got Luke's ingame.

Working hard on being a nasty bastard, for... whatever reason

Where's the Blanka-chan costume? 😭

You can't miss it by running through WT 👍

The Juri talk reminded me of @Skort- hope you're good and enjoying 6!

As someone who doesn’t know much about VPN’s, is there any risk of the Capcom’s kicking in my door if I do this?

I fucked around doing this with VPNs just an hour or two ago, and they all screwed up after a 15 min period then download/decrypting time going to shit. Check Discord for @misterBeeinsights, he knows far more than me about this

Diablo and SF have apparently fucked over the PSN servers, I've been told - not by an expert, just someone who follows this quite closely
