Around once a month. I don't watch comedies in the theatre. You usually miss half the jokes. Mostly I stick to big budget films with special effects because they aren't the same at home.

Yes, yes she does. 
 
Also congrats! 😁 Keep on climbing!

Ranked Session 2 Report:
Managed to play for around 2 hours yesterday and I lost a dizzying amount of games and sets across it. The challenge level between the players I was used to and what I am running into now is widely different and I'm still learning how to deal with that.

I was actually really surprised to end the session slightly up from where I started. There was a time where I dipped back down into Super Silver and I figured that I may be better off retiring to JRPGs and other old people games. I lost the majority of my initial sets, including my warm up games, and damn is that demoralizing. Thankfully I managed to turn it around. Apparently I am exactly 3800 LP worth of skill. 😉
 
The one thing that was nice was that anyone that I ran into a second time, I won the sets against. Including a Gold Birdie, which was satisfying, and making a Bison quit the set. I also think my pressure with Laura is getting a little better. It is so damn important to be able to make momentum count with her and previously downbacking would mostly defeat me. Now at least I'm able to keep pressure up more often with Avante cancels and some staggered buttons which I'm seeing result in more stuns and cornering.
 
I still need to work on AAs. I don't use HP Bolt enough, I was still trying to jab AA (sort of had that beat out of me but I need to keep that habit dead), and I have a really bad habit of hitting back + MP to AA which results in MP Clap instead of st.MP, which in turn results in eating a sweet jump in combo. 
 
Also need to get better about just holding my ground and being patient. Most of the time when I get blown up I feel like its because I'm hitting buttons at bad times (often clearly bad times) or I'm teching when I shouldn't be. In general I think I get too nervous on defense and end up doing dumb stuff like that. Thankfully Ranked is full of psychos so I'll get plenty of practice blocking.
 
The upside of ending on winning sets is that I feel more motivated to get back to it then if I ended on losses, even if I'm mostly treading water. Its going to be serious baby steps to get to Platinum. I need to be able to actually hang in Gold first, then slowly climb up the rungs. It feels doable, which is good, but I also know I need a lot more practice and will probably take a good number more beatings before I'll really start to gain traction.

At @Darc_Requiem's suggestion we now have the  emote, in honor of a long-winded guy from the 'other forum'.  You can get it by typing 'tldr' in colons!

Haha, I try my best! 😂

Ryu: "... Okay."

When it comes to Q, @ShockDingo is the authority on the matter. Shockdingo to Q is Daemos to Bison.

I didn't know the lore thread continued over here, awesome!  To spur some coversation, what are your thoughts on G (and his possible connection to Q?)
 
Here's an old post I made on SRK:
 
"I’m the resident obsessive, Q speculator in the SF Lore thread, so you’ll have to excuse all the tinfoil hat nonsense and detail
Anyways, so far, the little details in G make me think he and Q are related but two different people.
I posted this the other day in the lore thread.
 


It’s been brought to my attention that the Black and Red story costume alt for G is not his main story costume colour, whatever it is remains to be seen, but I still think the body language and mask differences are significant.
Also, I feel that the letters for their names may mean something. G could stand for the obvious Gold, but also Governance/Global, while Q could stand for Quartz and Quarry. What we know of Q is he’s always found around crime scenes as if he’s investigating or searching for his “quarry”, and with quartz, that could be literal or symbolic of his high durability (3s taunt x3), strength, etc.
I feel like the overall story for G will be that he’s a current or former Illuminati agent, he’s setting himself up to run for mayor of Metro city or even President (looking at the Uncle Sam and Abe Lincoln elements in his design, also the stage he seems to be on for the Menat part of AE’s intro.)
His pet project could be the Alphabets and he could have made the other members in his image, but Q may have escaped. His weird body movements, as I mentioned before could be related to him breaking free or still fighting control from G. Oro in SF3 made a joke saying Q looks like the Tokusatsu character, Robo Detective K, so with that bit of reference, if they’re continuing the Tokusatsu theme, G and Q’s relationship could be like Kamen Rider Black and Golgom’s. Golgom made Kamen Rider to be their ultimate weapon but instead, he became their biggest obstacle, so Q could be hiding in the shadows, investigating G and his various operations, while Crimson Viper tails Q and wonders what the hell is going on.
Anyone still with me?"

Black Panther has surpassed the The Last Jedi at the box office. Hopefully a forum member that remains nameless has finally seen it.

I could have told you it wasn't a joke.  😉
 
I, no bullshit, had a buddy in college that was really considering it. Used to bring up the site and show me who he was looking at. He never went through with it so far as I know but the weirdness of that experience always stuck with me.

You need to get to Grand Master before we spring for the cosplay package.
