I’m curious which X-Men, Feige plans on giving us. Is it going to be the core 5 of Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, Jean and Bobby? Or some of them and a mix of other popular characters like Kate Pyrde, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Gambit, etc? 
 
I mean, Wolverine is kind of a given but I’m still curious on who else and who their first villain will be. 

These fake fighting game leaks are so fucking godlike wtf lmao

In fairness to Marvel, those were Netflix shows made in partnership with Marvel's TV division. Everything goes through Feige now.

O-M-G!! Take notes for SF6 CAPCOM. Fortnite did an incredible job here.
 

Can't wait for the final episode its going to be EPIC!! 
 
Got to give MARVEL credit for this amazing series. I was one of those naysayers who thought this was going to be absolute garbage but boy was I proven wrong.
 
After the shit storm that was IRON FIST and the passable PUNISHER series,I was convinced this show would have been more of the same. Should have had more faith in the Mighty Marvel team.
 
Here's hoping they keep up the good work with the others they have planned coming down the pipeline. 
 
I'm really hyped for SHE HULK and FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER. LOKI and MS MARVEL don't really interest me much but I'll definitely keep my eye on them.

Platinum with Bonita  achieved ! 
 
Laura is a fun character but i gotta learn shitloads with her lmao. I'll probably derank and rank back like crazy now but imma aim for super plat next of course. I want to learn Laura now, its decided.
 
@ Laura mains .....i hate zoners
 

It has to be Karlo. He's the only Clayface that's an actor. 

I don't care what SF4 would like. 

What? No. No it won't. Game can be fun. Not when it's online. Please don't fool yourself. We have too much respect for you to allow you to sink. Play it if you want, but never, EVER, have hope.

That’s what we in the fighting game biz call a mix-up

Yeah at this point there are a decent # of small game teams that have managed to pull it off. Hell Tough Love Arena has rollback and that can't be a small team, and the game is totally free.
 
I feel like part of what "costs" means to these FG teams isn't just raw monetary costs. Even "big" FG teams probably aren't that large, and you gotta figure that if you were going to implement rollback correctly from zero it is going to "cost" you dedicated time of at least one person, probably more. So as a project you have to decide if you can afford the cost in either time (having someone on the team learn what to do and get through the learning pains of implementing rollback) or the raw cost of hiring outside help to save your team from being stretched.
 
In a way this global situation is a key time for companies to make this kind of shift. Locals aren't going to happen again for a long time yet and losing out on the ability to hold events hurts the sales tail on games (a lot of my excitement for SFV came from watching CPT, which turned into me staying with the game and buying stuff over the years even when my actual game time flatlined). Rollback allows you to at least hold online events, and of course for your players to continue playing each other. If you can't leverage that, it doesn't feel like it is even worth releasing a new FG this year.
 
GBVS sort of felt this. It came out and had a little time to shine, then lost a lot of momentum due to everything locking down. Imagine if that game launched with even a proto version of the rollback that ASW is set to deploy with Strive. For whatever good or ill features Strive may have, it is looking like the only modern Japanese FG that can continue to operate in a semi-normal capacity in 2021, and that is going to count for a lot when it comes to evaluating if it was worth the "pain" of implementing rollback for them in the first place.
 
Its fucked up but the pandemic is probably going to end up being one of the best things that could have happened for FG online QoL because it forced the issue so hard. 
 
Talking about old SRK poster brought out my  tendencies.

Not really surprised there, Punk's  an incredible SF player. I mean what's that his Day 2 Dan???
