    Anyways, if you guys wanted to hear the stupidest shit in a video for a hot min:
     
     
    Give it like 20 seconds from where that time stamp starts. God we need SRK so we can convince people like this to STFU. This is embarrassingly bad.

    The SF6 Thread: Capcom Cup Edition - UMA went ten toes down on the competition 😉
     
    Edit: @purbeastI'm a patient dude. I'll let people slide on a lot of things....except money. Where money is concerned I go 0-100 quick. If you need money and you know you can't pay me back. Just ask for it. Don't ask to borrow it. If we cool and I can spare it. You can have it. But if you say you are borrowing it and you don't give me my money back. We are going to have SERIOUS issues.

    Blanka Ball Z is even more powerful given the recent events.
     
     
    May he rest in peace.

    Hey man, how about we check in on DNF Duel, that game got an unfair shake at life:
     
    Oh, looks like Camelot is still a silly place. 😂

    I've never really heard anyone shit on SF2 other than some young kids whose first fighting game was sfv.
     
    To me it's up there with Tetris as a game that's perfect because of how simple it is. They've added more and more things over the years but imo most of the time those distill the fighting aspect on the game because there's less emphasis on your character's kit and more on whatever subsystem they've put in the game.

    I've been playing around with some buttons my buddy let me borrow (3 gamerfinger, 1 samducksa 24mm, 1 samducksa 30mm) and also messed around with different switches, and I may try a full set of them.  Today I received some Kailh speed navy switches and they are pretty damn clicky but also need some heavy hands compared to others to press, which I like.  I am also interested in getting the shorter actuation pads to see if I can get them closer to sanwa actuation that I'm used to but they are out of stock everywhere now.
     
    But over the weekend I'm going to play around with my controller having half of these mechanical switches in them and if I like them, I may order a full set of samducksa next week.
     
    Anyone here use clicky mechanical switches in their arcade sticks?  I'm curious to hear opinions on them.  At this point I am like 90% I'm going to buy a full set of Samducksa (for top facing buttons only) just because now I am curious about it.

    Yeah the Cherry Blue are what I was testing out 3 of those buttons with.  So far I like the navy's better.  They have shorter actuation and require a little more force than the blues.
     
    The one thing I am noticing with these mechanical switches that I was not having with Sanwa's though is that I am getting some unwanted negative edge shit and it's costing me big time.  I think it's because they have longer actuation than Sanwa and bottom out further too.  I think both of those combined are causing the negative edge to come into play, and I'll do the wrong special moves sometimes, with the button I pressed prior of what I intended to do.  It's super frustrating.  I didn't get as much of it last night with the navy switches compared to the blue one I was using before though.  I'm going to try turning that option off today and see if it makes a difference and if I get any other unintended side effects.
     
    It's weird though because I know the clickyiness is loud and stuff, but I feel like the sanwa buttons are louder because they make a more "smack" sound than these do.  These seem a bit more dampened for some reason. And I'm referring to the Samducksa ones not the crown - crown are quieter and like have dampener built in.  I was also surprised how different they sound in the controller versus just playing around with them in my hand.
     
    Either way the noise doesn't bother me since I'm in my basement playing with the volume turned up kinda loud on my surround sound.

    Honestly, the thing that got me to respect, good, cosplayers was some of the wild shit I'd see them do for Mass Effect. I don't think I can find the video because of how long it's been, but some dude cosplayed as Urdnot Grunt. It was wearable suit that was animitronic. It was like a top notch practical effect from 80 or 90s big budget flick. Shit was amazing. These days, because its a mini industry, a lot of cosplay is just people buying costumes online. The old school, made by hand, stuff is what I appreciated. This isn't it but to give you and idea.
     

     
    Dude made something like that and the head was completely animatronic. Suit was hot as fuck to wear from what he was saying. And those old school style projects they'd s how off their progress as they were creating it. So it was like Bob Ross painting in costume form. At first you'd be like "what the fuck is that" as the weeks/months went by it would unfold into something impressive.

    I swear that Kazuya cosplayer just stepped out of the world of Tekken into reality.

    I am  most likely in the minority, but I dislike the customization options in Tekken 8.  
     
    I want my characters and the ones I'm facing to LOOK like the character that has been selected.  
     
    I'm glad Capcom allowed us to block outfits online.  I wish they gave us more flexibility in that we could turn off outfits instead of having to always select a default one, but for now it works.  
     
    I have Ken and Blanka set to their default costume because their 3rd outfits are just so dumb and don't look like the character they are.
