And yet Ken's goofy face remains. Downloading the update now, let's see what we got.

You're tellin' me. I legit think they assumed Menat would be a satisfactory replacement, but didn't realize that people who played Rose wanted to play Rose, not Dhalsim. Don't get me wrong, I love Menat as a character and tried to play her SO many times, but it was such a struggle. And I forgot about Gouken. He was cool, even if he never really had competitive teeth. But most of the 4 newcomers were wack.

I'm honestly surprised C. Viper never made it to SFV, so I imagine she might be in 6. Other than Juri she's the only redeemable SF4 character, unless they give the others the full Seth revamp treatment. Made Rufus a waifu, people might like him too. I think most SFV newcomers are worth bringing back, with some obvious exceptions: Necali, Fang, Ed, Falke. It kills me to say that because I like Falke but she's been undercooked since release. Give her a staff with so many cool fighting style options and all she does is bonk people like she's Puppet Pal Mitch Ed is so bad they're literally just trying a do-over with Luke apparently.

Luke voted for Kanye for President because Trump didn't seem as funny an option as it did last time.

Luke filmed dozens of backyard wrestling VHS tapes in middle school and would proudly tell you he's down with the clown. His dad beat him up for trying to replicate a stunt he saw on Jackass and setting the shed on fire.

Luke has unquestionably posed for a photo wearing a large clock necklace and a Viking helmet at some point in his life.

And he's from New Jersey.

Luke has a tattoo of the face of a girl he dated for 2 weeks on his thigh. He's since updated it to try and look more like 3 subsequent girlfriends. (I actually think he looks fun but I'm enjoying this line of conversation).

This is good, guys, I was just thinking the game didn't have enough blonde people. But he does look pretty fun though, not gonna lie.

That looks like a Smug character if I ever saw one.

Bonus match woo. That EX fireball she has looks crazy. Like a surprise Balrog EX rush.

Just from the footage it seems like her upkick special that launches probably whiffs on crouchers, but she's able to link after her shoulder special vs crouchers due to their wider hurtbox. I do not know the move names, that's as precise as I can get.

10/10 Critical Art. Also, anybody else see that instant-air powered up fireball she did to bait a throw?

Cammy has pants in Fortnite, what is this. Oro looks like he'll give characters with DP anti-airs nervous fits.

Here we go, let's see what they've got.

@VhoziteThanks for the games.

Shoot me another invite, it says the lobby is closed.

@SoneroThanks for the games, I felt a lot better about that set. I tried to implement some of your advice and push up whenever I got a knockdown, and I felt like I at least spent less time backed into the corner. Beyond that I'm gonna work on holding onto the teleport once activated vs using it right away. I like using it too much to just toss it aside for TV2, even if I have about a 30% success rate with it. I'd rather just practice how to implement it better than give it up.

@SoneroUp for some games?

I remember when Poison was on the bottom of people's tier lists 2 weeks after she came out too. It doesn't mean much to me, I'm locked in to Rose either way, and personally think she's very solid. I just suck, which isn't new. I'm still pretty committed to the teleport as well. It's more fun for me, and while it's active, it forces the opponent to slow the F down for a while no matter what, even if you don't use it right away. VT2 blows it's load in 6 seconds, hit or miss. Anyway, I'm up for some more games tonight with anyone who's playing.

That game ruled, and the helicopter chase music track still slaps to this day.

Maybe they're going big and actually doing a DC vs Marvel fighting game. Maybe Marvel games has learned their lessons of letting good studios make the type of quality games they're good at making (Insomniac = Spider-Man) instead of shoving the license off to to studios to make cash-grab games of a genre they aren't practiced at making (Square = Avengers). I'd be excited to try it, I'm not an NRS hater. But I have no doubts it will look fairly stiff and awkward. Hopefully they're smart enough to innovate and not just keep making the exact same format of game they've been making for 10 years. No one wants to see Spider-Man waddling slowly back and forth on the ground playing footsies. We wanna see that fucker swinging around.

Not at all, I really do mean it when I say I generally handle losing well. I wasn't mad in the slightest. But I can get demoralized after too many smashings, for sure. If I'm not having fun anymore it's time for a break. That's some really good insight on using the fireballs to take screen space though. I'll try to keep it in mind, but right now I'm still more concerned with how often I'm accidentally hitting cr mp to anti-air because I've played too much Poison. Once I've played Rose enough that I'm hitting the buttons I mean to hit consistently, I'll move on to fancy things like actually having a gameplan or strategy 🤣 I hope you're at least getting something out of playing me and it's not just a waste of time on your part though. I'm trying to at least make it interesting.

@SoneroThanks for the games. I'll try to hold out a little longer next time but I think I hit my limit tonight. I'm a pretty good sport when I lose but even my small ego needs a recovery period 😅
