    His character story had potential and they completely squandered it. He's not even the boss. According to the developers. G is the boss of SFV.

    L M A O.

     

    They can't be serious. G is a literal "Who?" in V's story. I thought they were setting him up for 6 as either a major player or boss.

    That kind of reminds me, I wonder if there is going to be a follow up on the Story of SFV itself now that there are so many new characters and premises. 

    Nope. 

     

    They leaving a ton of plot threads hanging for SF6.

     

    That will obviously go very bad because whoever was responsible for SFV's Story Mode is nothing but a HACK and if they come back for 6, it'll get bungled beyond belief.

    He's also the first character I've seen, in my personal history of fighting games, where people drop him because he's too boring. That still just baffles me. I've never seen people drop a perfectly solid character like Necalli because he's too vanilla lol. Ahh well.

    Cammy.

     

    At least Necalli has the dunk and SSJ3. Cammy is pretty much a chunk of cardboard with a nice ass.

    Oh and G was in that character pack too. G is like you're eating your Big Mac, then a shiny golden Abe Lincoln bust through the wall Kool-Aid Man style, gives a wonderful, inspiring speech, and then while you're overcome with emotions and applauding enthusiastically, he punches you in the dick and steals your fries.

    Speaking of G, which newcomers from V do y'all want to see return in 6?

    And who do you want to never show up again?

    @Volt That one hurt for me too but he was in the same character pass as Sakura, Falke and Cody. Like ordering a number 1 at McDonald's for a Big Mac, fries, drink, and a dog turd wrapped in seaweed. I just tossed that last bit in the trash where it belongs and happily consumed everything else.

    Is Sagat the seaweed? 🤣

    That’s good. Also I notice you said you suffered from depression. I’m sorry to hear that.

     

    You sound like my American ex-Mormon friend. He suffers from permanent existential and drug dependent depression cause of his religion, which he thankfully left and has accepted life without it now. But he’s still pretty messed up, the cult left permanent mental scars for him. 
     

    I do hope things turn around for you too. 

    Not the case for me. I'm alive rn because of God. When I was truly fucked up I got support.

     

    Edit: yay for bad mobile signal!

    I don’t think I’ve ever met a catholic that was this sensitive to religious chirps. 
     

    You’re a good guy Volt, but damn dude you gotta just brush that shit off. Martian didn’t even say anything harsh lol I’ve said things 1000x worse about religious folk in my life. 
     

    Grow some thicker skin, bruh. 

    Working on it. At least I did take the time out instead of going apeshit from the jump. 🤣

    I thought Volt was Catholic. 

    Learn something new everyday.

    I actually didn't know the word for Evangelical in English until a short while ago. That's why I was a bit non-descript whenever I mentioned my religion. 🤣

    I hope you know my reply wasn't anything evil towards you, just jokes like you said. Don't leave. Who else is gonna tell us how bad Bolsonaro is??

    I really didn't want to drag this topic or ruin the good vibes here, but since several people reached out to me on Discord regarding me quitting Megashock and the SFV Lounge server, and the issue happened in this thread, I have to bring it up here to hopefully clarify my position and end this nonsense once and for all.

     

    Gonna spoiler it so it doesn't take too much space tho.

     

    2nd Spoiler is the TL;DR version. I'm fumbling badly with mobile today. 🤣

     

    Spoiler

     

    I left over the personal and religious attack @Martian did to me after this post:

     


    This was his reply to it:

     

     

    As you know, I'm evangelical. This is nothing that I have ever hidden, nor should hide.


    On the other hand, while I'm more than happy to give some insight based on a religious person's perspective about things, I do not force my beliefs on anyone, nor like arguing about it because it only ends up in messy situations like this.

     

    Sadly, this is not the first time my religion actually turns into a talking point.

     

    The first time was quite frankly my mistake.

     

    Pertho did a dumb religious joke, I caught feelings over it. It's one thing to dislike a joke and it's another to turn it into a discussion. I went overboard, and later we talked about it, it's all good.


    Naturally, since it happened on a public thread, and pretty much everyone in it moved here, I gotta make a public apology over it.

     

    The others didn't go as bad, including the one on my birthday thread since the person responsible apologized and it seemed to be an honest mistake.

     

    So, considering I usually jump the gun when my religion is brought up in a disrespectful way, I decided to just back off and cool down after what happened and re-read things later.

     

    Then I noticed the full weight of Martian's post.

     

    Some context is needed for those who don't hang in the SFV Lounge.

     

    @AriesWarlock does these history of metal essays frequently. Like, at least once per week.

     

    I've never said a word about them.

     

    When he posted that one here, I didn't downvote him or added any reactions to it. I just made a quick thoughtless joke to let him know there was a Metal thread here. As I usually do when I'm not serious,  I added a laughing emote at the end.

     

    Now that it's established that I didn't censor Aries, let's take a look at Martian.

     

    I had no sort of beef with him. Never did. Most of the time I treat everyone with love and respect. Especially in the SFV Lounge.

     

    And even if I do get heated with someone, I make a point to not take things to a personal level. I may call you names, but telling someone he's an idiot isn't a personal thing.

     

    So let's re-read Martian's post.

     

    3.png

     

    This dude brought up how I talk, how I'm a degenerate, and my religion into the mix. Without any provocation.

     

    Naturally, I got jumped over it. Some posts were more malicious, some were less malicious, but I wanted to address the root of the problem. That post.

     

    As someone who has been wrestling with depression for a long time now, I've grown to appreciate the moments where I'm genuinely happy.

     

    The moving here was one of these. Sure, what happened to Pertho was messed up, but we managed to pull together as a community and support him. We're in a place with great leadership where our voices and opinions matter.

     

    What was left of SRK can't even be compared to how great this place is. I was seeing people just spontaneously talk about how nice Megashock is and how there's a whole "good vibes, good times" feel to the place.

     

    And that was cut off from me because Martian randomly decided to throw a dagger at my neck.

     

    So now I have to say something that honestly should be common sense.

     

    In 4/5 years in SRK, my religion only turned into a talking point twice. It's not something I bring up for jokes.

     

    Therefore, do not bring up personal topics as points for whatever goofy argument you want to make.

     

    This goes for everyone because this time I was in the worse end of it, but it could've been anyone else with any other topic that hits people different.

    Hopefully that's the end of that. Really don't wanna drag that mess any longer.

     

    Btw, just so I don't double post, y'all can come to Rio for the tournament. Doesn't get any cheaper than a place where your money is worth over 5 times more.

    Volt has some weird Church Boi aversion to Metal and Satanic shit but will be the first dude to curse up a storm or comment on a pair of tiddies. 

     

    Religion is weird. 

    Nah, it's more of a matter of taste. Just ain't a fan of Metal. It's not like all of it has the satanic imagery and shit. 🤷‍♂️

     

    Edit: Besides, it was more about telling Aries about the Metal Thread.

    That's why I put that laughing emote.

    Pk, done that.

    But i am not sure if that covers what i was asking that is that the site autorefreshes and shows any new post on the thread, instead of alerting me that there is a new post and asking me if i want to load it.

     

    Guess i will have to wait and see if it does 🤔

    No.

     

    That's about the only thing I miss from Discourse tbh, but the current system has its perks.

    Let's get you more pumped up with today's metal history lesson

     

    34 years ago, Slayer released 🤘 REIGN IN BLOOD 🤘 . This album changed thrash and death metal forever. After two successful albums, for some reason they managed to score a deal with Def Jam, which was the world’s biggest rap label, and had major-label distribution, home to artists like LL Cool J, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys.

     

    rick-rubin-slayer-beasties-run-dmc-1980s

     

    The first metal band on a rap label. The problem? The president of the label had a problem with one of the songs that mentions Nazi physician Josef Mengele, the angel of death. They were asked to removed the song. Slayer found a new rising label, and they became even bigger than ever.

     

    So now you are ready to go riding down a hill on your bike while lalaing Angel of Death 🤘😈😈
     

     

    We got a metal thread here now, get this bullshit outta my sight. 🤣
