Anyone in here using a 6gawd layout for their controller? I am contemplating switching up my button layout because I went with a custom one that is what I've been using all along for SF4, which is basically an American style layout that is like Viewlix without the offset, and the buttons are spaced out more. I use the bottom left button with my right thumb for DI in this game. However since my buttons are kind of spaced out farther, I am finding myself having to move my hand a bit more and am late by MS sometimes to react, or I've even missed a button completely since it's far apart. I am using 30mm buttons and I've played on a controller with 24mm buttons but they felt small to me. But now I'm curious about possibly going to the 6gawd layout which uses smaller buttons and I'm curious if anyone here uses it and how they like it.

Dunno bout Ed man. He looks quite janky, like his animations are not up to the same quality as the other characters. The stage is pretty weak IMO too. It just seems very static and dull. I never saw him in SF5 so not sure how he compares.

Both of the Sonic movies are better than they should be. I enjoyed them both quite a bit. Knuckles looks better than I expected for a series as well. I didn't even know it was coming out. I saw the Sonic 3 teaser coming out later this year and that was all. I don't have Paramount+ and won't be getting it to watch it, but I'd watch it if I had access to it.

Looking at the sales of BOTW compared to TOTK, I guess I'm not the only one who didn't really like TOTK. I'm kind of surprised by the gap in sales between the two. And yes, I realize that BOTW was out a lot longer than TOTK.

This is ... interesting. Note it's no longer called "Xbox Game Pass".

God damn it is now $200 just to get into Evo as a spectator. That is crazy.

Yah the kids love em though, especially the racing game. One is KI2 cabinet with MAME in it and the other is a light gun game with buncha light gun games in it.

I got 4 arcade games, but 2 of em are the same one (Rush 2049). Playing an arcade game for a 5 minute experience is quite a bit different than playing FF7 for the 10th time.

Yeah maybe I wasn't really clear. I just meant the whole BC thing means nothing to me personally. I also very rarely go back and play old games. There is enough new stuff to keep me busy.

Yeah I never understood the whole BC thing. If I wanted to play my Xbox 360 games, I could play them on my Xbox 360.

If you have a PC capable of running games, there is zero reason to have an Xbox.

Wait when you buy an Xbox game it doesn't install from the disk it has to download it? I find that hard to believe because then you couldn't even play a game if you aren't connected to the internet.

I think it's been pretty apparent MS has been looking to get out of the console game after the series X. 1. No more physical games in 2024 2. Losing money on every console sold. 3. XCloud streaming service (or whatever) 4. Gamepass I think their goal is to just be a gaming service long run that can be played on a PC, console, or even just your smart TV with an app.

Yah I just had to disable his blankachan costume though. I played one guy with that and was like NOPE.

I wish I played more Blanka's. I love running FT5 against randoms I run into in casuals because I rarely play em. I'm finally starting to somewhat understand his gameplan now.

I was playing my buddy last night and did a qcb.fk with Dee Jay to get his fk sway, but his fk sobat came out and I ended up eating a level 3 because of it. I was like wtf how did I do qcb and get qcf input? So I looked at replays immediately after like wtf. And sure as shit, I did a qcb and the damn sobat came out. After looking at it in slow mo, I could finally figure out WHY it happened. Took me a while to figure it out but thought I'd post the video here. Typically if my opponent is not in the corner, I will do b.fk and cancel into fk.sway after the first hit of b.fk. But when they are in the corner, I will let both his of b.fk hit and then do fk sway so I can continue a juggle combo. But since Cammy was kind of close to the corner, I wanted to see if I could carry her into the corner to do the corner juggle, which is why I did not try to cancel after the first hit of b.fk. So that was my reasoning for not canceling after 1 hit in this instance. I just wanted to preface it with that though. After eyeballing that video in slow mo though, it made sense to me why that sobat came out.

Meh, Tekken's characters don't change much each iteration. I played the demo and played Paul and he played pretty much how I remembered him playing the last time I played a Tekken game which was 3 or Tag 2. I wouldn't be surprised if they literally use a lot of the same code and stuff for characters across games. I know I'm probably in the minority but I don't care about a roster size being huge. I'm fine with the size of SF6 roster and them slow dripping 4 characters per year. I loved SF4 but hated how large the roster got towards the end.

Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring.

It's so Capcom of them to tell us Ed is coming in February and then announce he is coming out the 27th. They should have done the 29th just because they can this year.

Yeah that is why it got stale to me. I played King and Paul and I could basically play them the same way in every iteration of Tekken I played. I also don't like the huge move lists.

I used to love Tekken back in like the tag days but it just got stale to me. I downloaded the Tekken 8 demo the other day and the game just is not for me. It feels slow and stubby and just not what I like in a fighter.

The top 8 of Frosty Faustings was incredible. There was a decent variety of characters and just a lot of very close matches that were highly entertaining.

Here is a variation of the combo I'm talking about. There are various ways to get into this juggle state.

Dee Jay got something like this too. I've seen Smug do it a few times. He can juggle off the first 2 hits of his target combo and DR and repeat. Can corner carry for some bars. As usual, he makes it look quite a bit easier than it actually is.
