I feel like as soon as Luffy finds out about this Juri costume easter egg he's going to input the costume code all the time while playing as Mika just in case it gets him bigger boobs somehow.

I just decided to woman up and hit ranked even with my Sakura in that state.
I will be back to silver ranks in no time. Fundamentals will bring me there now that I am understanding Sakura's tools better.
Then to gold and further it will be a matter of execution.

Learning a new character can be rough that way. Every time I switch chars I always end up hitting the other character's buttons in the wrong "right" situations. Really fun with AAs. Also for the last few matches I totally forgot that they changed Menat's inputs on some of her specials. That was a fun thing to figure out.

Yeah Menats can be relatively rare online depending on the league level. I've run into only a couple since she came out. Cammy is still sort of common but there is an ocean of Guile at early Gold. Guarding the gates with sawnic bewms.

KOF 97 UM is now out!  Not a version I'm familiar with, but go get it on PSN/Steam! 

I like watching people online panic over the new patch.  Should be interesting.

Flying headbutt into VT2 ex Borscht Dynamite is 33 damage more and 120 stun more than raw VT2 ex Borscht Dynamite. And way harder to land.
Fully charged st hp CC xx VT ex SPD is 436 damage rather than 457 damage now. So still worth using it for raw damage against blocked wake up ex DPs.

Who?

Looking at it, this will probably be Juri's least popular costume. They reduced her bust and covered her feet. 
 
"Costume near impossible to fap to. 1/5. Would not recommend."

She's gonna be crazy good in S6.
 
However by then Capcom will have buffed Cammy into a legit Guilty Gear character so we will all just be trying to survive her RC mix ups.

Yea it definitely looks like fun. Unfortunately most pro Laura players think VT2 is useless. But we'll see what people can do with it after the patch. ;)
 
I read that 801 Strider will probably drop Laura for Kolin. I don't and I can't judge him as someone, who played less than 1000 matches and never went to tournaments. Fuudo might drop Mika as well.
For me the changes don't really matter. I played Laura in S1, where she was considered a bottom 3 character and still had fun with her. Because using a "better" character won't change anything, if you still have major flaws in your gameplay imo.
 
The only thing which could be problematic right now are the Cammy buffs imo. Not from a player perspective (because as I said, I lack experience to judge about their balance decisions), but as a viewer it could get pretty boring if you buff a character who had the most representation in top 64 of the last few tournaments.
 
I don't see it as problematic with Menat. QoL changes are nice and could mean more people pick her up now but she is still hard to learn and Du's impressive pocket Cammy showed that her amazing walkspeed counters Menat very well.
 
Also the Pro Tour already started. Most pro players probably want to have someone as a pocket character who is quite easy to learn so I could see a lot of them having a pocket Cammy for some matchups.  Menat requires more time to be tournament ready.

Laura VT2 is fun. I've broken it out now and again and I've always thought it had some applicability in certain match ups just because it gives her something resembling a reversal option. 
 
My biggest gripe with VT2 with her is how slow everything on it ends up being. Dodging anything that doesn't have a lot of lead up (slow attacks, jump ins) is tricky and its hard to react dodge fireballs. It may be better with the dodge not actually taking VT timer, and maybe its just something I'd need to practice more. I do like it for being a 2 bar if nothing else. 
 
The real question at this point is that if there will be any Laura players left to discover tech.  I've seen a lot of life rafts departing the Laura discord.

Well Juri keeps getting better slowly but surely so I have that working for me

Laura seems slightly buffed. Might try out her VT2 now (haven't messed around with it at all).
Mika about the same I guess, but more dmg on command throw is not really something she needs imo.
Biggest buff for these two are probably the Abigail and Rashid nerfs.
 
And I think I might drop Chun and Juri as side bae's and pick up Menat as third character. Because her QoL changes is exactly the stuff I need to not fuck up her v-trigger combo on P2 side. This should really help me out and I could use a heavy zoner to complement my two grappling ladies.

Don't feel bad man, I have to look them up half the time.

Yeah I was surprised to see them take the route of faster burn instead of bumping up the bars. But they also don't seem to like to bump the bars on VTs up and even then they usually do extra fiddling with it (like what they did with Laura VT1) so maybe they just didn't want to fuss with it.
 
Fun part about Kolin patch notes for me is that I don't know what any of her million moves are named so my eyes always start to glaze over when I try to re-read them.

DiasFox definitely delivered with this Rose commission.
