See I really want to like Necalli too. The savage/animalistic aesthetic, the huge dreadlocks that unlock with a super Saiyan style transformation, the permanent VT. 
 
The potential is right there. Yet you play him in SFV and he ended up as one of the blandest, most boring characters in SF history. I honestly want to see him in another game it so Capcom can take another crack at making him the warrior god he deserves to be. 

He uses it in Smash tho. 🙃

I've thought Kotal was cool since his introduction in MKX. A "good guy" Kahn is an interesting story and character beat.
 
But I guess NRS doesn't think so because he's been consistently been made the chump over and over again. Not even the fact that he's nailing Jade can make him cooler now.
Good thing he's still got the mayan sun god thing going for him because without that he'd probably be Necalli 2 in terms of wasted potential. Still love the guy tho.

Never forget that Kotal Kahn was Fatality'd in his own reveal trailer. 
 
 
I'm pretty sure NRS thinks it's funny or the dude is just weirdly unlucky

Current SF5 Netcode Review
 
by GetTheTables
 
Webster's dictionary defines netcode as: "that thing what lets us punch each other over the internet". After playing 10-15 matches yesterday with Capcom's most recent patch tweaking that netcode, I wanted to give impressions for anyone curious.
 
For reference I'm playing out of northern MD, and I have pretty good internet (the test I just ran clocked at 450 down/250 up).
 
Games against Darc: All rock solid. Not super surprising as we've played before with good connections, and from what I remember he isn't too terribly far from where I am.
 
Games against Tubb: 95% rock solid. Which is pretty good from here to where he is at if it is indeed Ohio. There was one hiccup in a later game but I'm going to chalk that up to him downloading the latest Pokeprincxss/Digitalprincxss release in the background.
 
Games against Mattatsu: Really...consistent? I'm not sure how to describe this. The games were very playable, but there were a lot of little rollbacks happening on my side, mostly with whatever Sagat was doing at the time. None of them were really big - nothing near the infamous Cody v. Ibuki clip - nor affected the game play, but it was really noticeable. We've played a lot of SF5 over the years and it has slowly gotten worse, so this was a marked improvement. It seemed like instead of it running well for a bit then just throwing up, it was spreading that out over the whole match.
 
The thing that still bugs me is that in every other game we've played, the connections have been really good (including games like Rev 2 and T7 which aren't known for fantastic netcode). So while this is an improvement over what we had before, it still feels like something is fundamentally busted with SF5's netcode implementation. 
 
Final Thoughts: this update is more of "smoothing out the curve" than any noteworthy changes. If you had a good connection to someone before, seems like it'll still be good. If you had a bad connection before, will probably still be bad. However it does seem like the rollbacks are less spiky and more prevalent throughout the match, so you'll know right away if it is going to be a thing and can sort of adjust to it depending on how bad it is. Versus before where things would run fine for a little bit and then everyone becomes VT1 Bison.
 
It is a small improvement over how things were before, but if the online in this game drove you nuts or if you consistently had bad connections with people I don't think that is going to change.

Mmmmmmm, Nagoriyuki. I bet his dick is gigantic

After playing for a few hrs, I can say it was mostly good. A few weird connections, but they were pretty minor.
 
That's pretty cool.
 

Dude already has a big sword 

Let me know if this the Netcode update of prophecy.  I'd love to revive my online locals that I dropped when my work started to require me to do home visits again.
 
Check out the flyer we had!
 

I'm taking this as excuse to post this. I'm not even gonna front about it.

@Dayaani got bored and drew Lady Honda. 
 
Drawing’s hard. I’m gonna leave it to you. 
 

 
@Mattatsui’ll be free from 5-9 tonight. 
 
and what the hell @GetTheTables?? I thought I wasn’t gonna get in trouble till after I was rich?? 

Took a break from work to try SFV and the netcode felt great. I played 3 casual sets, all 4 bars, and didn’t experience any lag at any point. I found all of the opponents in like 2 minutes on average, searching for PS4 only, 4-5 bar connections. One person seemed to be very local based on their flag and dojo, but one dude had a Vietnamese flag and it felt great (of course, they may not be in Vietnam). Every match was on The Grid, which helps, but yeah, the game felt perfectly fine... i could have just gotten lucky though.
 
@KingTubb are you up for some matches tonight? Like maybe around 8 or shortly after? Im curious to try with you especially because of how shit our connection was last time we tried.
 

Famitsu talks about Strive. Shows a sneak of Ky going Gear in a (new?) overdrive and more of the lobby everyone hates.

 
It also states that the lobby with do away with normal ranking. The floors showing the difference of players, so same thing really. 
 
As long as there is a quick queue and the lobby works better than the beta, I don’t really mind.

Hm...
