@GetTheTables I'm gonna let you peek at few bars from @TWINBLADES_SRK first single off his new album The UnbeREEEEable Ice Queen
 
I got that surefire tech to assure my victory
Jump Hardkick, V-Skill, hit dem with the REEEE
Akhos match analysis, I don't need that fam
Jump Hardkick, V-Skill, cause' I don't give a damn
Hail setups and vanity steps don't get the job done
Jump Hardkick, V-Skill, Ima have some fun
 
Side note: I need help fam
 

Yeah I think he is high %. They seem to be pushing this as a psuedo-reboot of the franchise so I figure they are gonna pull a SFIV and try to hit all the favorites.
 
My one concern is that in this modern era of waifus I'm not sure a creepy old bondage guy can still get a release spot. But failing that Xianghua and Sophitia are in so the game is already off to a strong start for me.

I'm looking forward to this. The game has been looking good and SC is the only 3D game I've ever really been able to play. 
 
Waiting to see if Voldo creepily wiggles his way into the roster.

Such a great one.

Infiltration has always been about the waifus man.

Death pools for NCR start in about 20 minutes.
Every pool has like 4-5 players who usually make it out of pools. It will be a blood bath.

Hey. Its me. Rabbit, from OG SRK.
 
I made a platform fighting game. It comes out in May in the Humble Monthly Bundle. I'll be releasing a retail version shortly after, and it will have new features. Let me tell you a little bit about the game.


 
Knight Club is a 2-4 player platform fighting game. Your attacks are determined by the weapon you choose. The controls are fairly simple, and will intuitive to anyone who is familiar with... *gulp* SMASH. However, Knight Club does have a handful of mechanics that put it in line with a more traditional style of fighting game. 

You Have HP
Knight Club is not about knocking players off a stage. You have a life bar!

Directional Blocking
Blocking in Knight Club is based on which direction you are facing. You must block in the direction of your attacker! Given that my characters are sort of stumpy, high/low blocking didn't really work. Did I mention there is no player collision? You can walk right through each other! You really have to pay attention while blocking. And yes, you CAN get crossed up. 

Backstabs
If you get hit in the back, prepare to eat 25% additional damage. 

The game also includes fighting game classics like counter hits, push blocking, and MVC style wave dashes. In its current state the game is about 50% what it should be. It has a lot of neutral, lots of movement, and short combos. In future releases I will be adding more playable weapons, and sub weapons which will act like special moves. Fireballs, projectiles, etc. 

Anyway do me a solid and sign up for my mailing list at www.gutterarcade.com or follow me on twitter @RatCasket or @GutterArcade. If you are interested in play testing let me know. I could use some insight from some FG vets. 

Thanks.

When I was hardcore into SF (sf4 days, 8 hours a day+), I preferred player matches.  The key to getting better was simple:
 
1) Find people better than you
2) Play them over and over until they leave
3) Find someone else better than you and start over again
 
Points and ranks were meaningless, and the fact that ranked matches were short meant you could rely on gimmicks.  Lose a match? No problem.  Just use the same strats on the next sucker and hope THEY fall for them.
 
When you were in a long set, all your gimmicks stopped working almost immediately, and the only thing to do was simply get better.  This was the easiest way to organically improve my game.  This method worked when playing people in person, in the arcades, and online.  All you needed to do was find someone way better than you and keep grinding.
I learned how to play SFIII this way too.  Having someone near your skill level might be more enjoyable, but I found struggling against an impossibly good opponent was a stronger strategy.  Getting good enough to block one high-level player's mixup ONCE was way more valuable than blocking a scrub's mixups hundreds of times.
 
Good things coming in a few days. ;)
 
In other news I'll be taking art commissions soon.  Post some artwork later this week. 

Apologies for the double post. I am a caveman and cannot figure out how to add a quote to an edited post.
 
I hear you about the nerves. I get nervous before I play pretty much every time, even BL sets. I haven't been able to come up with a great solution. I just call myself a bitch and play through the nerves.  I think it does get better the more you get exposed to the game and the more things become routine, but the core of SFV is also pressure and feeling pressured so I dunno how much that ever really goes away. Of any of the FGs I've played online SFV has been the most stressful by a good measure.

Thanks to @mykka I have to do a Phantom concept now

@Bea_Iank loners unite!
 
@GetTheTables yeah looking at Sako  that dude is like 200 by gamer years and he would wipe us clean like he  was 25 lol
 
I kinda wanna be like Valle when it comes to fighting games. Just being an old dude that can keep up with the whipper snappers when SF8 drops. 
 

 
Holy fuck grandpa can I at least get one round. 
 
 
HEHEHEHHEEeeeeeee *wheeze* back in my day we hit the just frame FADC super cancel cross fade. Now you scrub little shits just press one button and think that's footsies! *Wheeze* give gramps a diet coke sonny......
 

Yeah my time is unfortunately more limited than I'd like. Part of me wishes this would have been around when I was a teenager/single young guy. I'd have dumped fuckloads of time into it.
 
Still, if I care I gotta make the time. No one is just gonna magically give me young man time to play SFV/GG/UNIELst so I need to make the time and then make the most out of it. Tricky but doable with dedication.
 
And in this hobby it is very worth it because the results will bear out in very tangible ways. Nailing things you would have missed before, or winning matches you would have lost before, makes it extremely satisfying.
 
Edit: Also we can get more stages when Capcom stabilizes the netcode such that the game doesn't shit it up as much outside of the godforsaken grid.

Being a loner definitely helps with having time to play SFV.
I have almost 1600 ranked matches to my belt already because I often get home, do my workout, get dinner then put 2 or so hours in SFV ranked because I like the game, despite being terrible at it. I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend pestering me, and I live with my younger brother, who also happens to be a loner. So I have time to invest in it.
 
I am aiming to get to gold, but I still have quite a road ahead of me.

I mean like I said, I get that normal functioning humans don't have the time... or don't have the drive. Me and Idom are loners who prob work and then come  home and grind. I doubt Idom has a family  or anything like that. Same as me he can afford to grind like a shut in hermit. 
 
I legit like SFV and want to be better. Where that will take me as anyone's guess. 
 
So I don't fault you guys for not having over 9000!!!!!!!!!!! games. 
 
 
@misterBee I'll will keep this thread alive...this forum alive till it kills me. 
 
Also when we getting more stages? I'd love the rainy Alpha stage or even Forgotten Waterfall lmao

Twin's match counts always remind me that I need to play a lot more. And don't forget he has his original Cammy account to add to the total too. 
 
There's no substitute for in game experience. For as much as I can critique myself and how I'm playing I've barely scratched this game in terms of putting the time in. Looking at Idom's CFN that bonita-maniac has played damn near 30,000 games across the three types. He has played almost 10 times as many BL matches as I have total matches. 
 
So maybe, just maybe I need to get out there and play more.

I hear ya man. Before I went on vacation a few weeks ago I managed to run some sets with pookie. He ran through a bunch of chars and finished it off with a FT10 vs. Ibuki. I started out well against his day 0 Chun, picked up the odd game or round across the next few sets, then got 10-0'd when it was serious time. Shit was rough.
 
The thing that keeps me coming back to the game though is the ability to learn from even those savage beatings. I did some replay reviews the next day and picked up on plenty of things I can work on (and as an aside I find that watching replays tends to put most of those bad losses into a more realistic light than salty memory does). Just those 10 Ibuki matches gave me more to think about and motivation to improve than a hundred online rando matches. 
 
I'm with you on the climb. My original goal was to get to Gold because I vividly remember when I thought that was impossible. Next is Plat. After that I'll claw my way up to Diamond. And so on. I don't have a lot of time and I'm definitely no savant at this, but I'm willing to put the time in and try. That's all any of us can do. Until they turn off the servers and make us play SF6. 
 
Regarding Juri: I already find her a pain in the ass because she is a slippery character and I hate playing catch. If I had to somehow play Infil's Juri I might just chain forward dash to end it all faster.

Definitely.
Sometimes I wish I had your hunger. I mean, I am more motivated than ever to continue playing SFV but it's just that my fear is holding me back a lot. I am still a pussy when it comes to ranked matches and I try to not play ranked matches at all (tho it got better over the years, I am not as nervous anymore) .
 
My lacking experience combined with me also being a lazy shit bag is the reason why I am still not good at this game.
Lately I have done some matches against some srk folks, especially Froztey.
 
He beats me like 10-1 everytime.
Deep down inside I really want to improve and learn but then there are moments where other games are getting my attention and I am not playing SFV for weeks, sometimes even months.  This is also holding me back, I don't really lab and I don't play enough.

It's amazing how far you can get in this game and still not see the big picture. I had two long sets with Jak playing against his Juri and got my shit pushed in really bad. I got really frustrated to the point of screaming but I kept my shit together. I just felt bad I  couldn't keep up. Everything was off from my spacing to my confirms. I think the sets were like 10-4 10-6. I can only imagine what fighting a Juri the level of Infiltration must be like lmao
 
 
I'm a lazy shit bag and a slow leaner but the hunger is still just as strong as when I booted up the game during the betas. I'm not gonna stop till I get to grand master...... then I'll keep playing.......

This, a bunch. 
 
I mostly work on SFV and am trying to get less shit at GG but I'll play anything I have access to. Which is almost everything because I have poor impulse control. Biggest problem I have is that I am a console peasant so I can only play what the Sony lords deign appropriate (i.e. no Fightcade).
 
Got to play SFV for an hour or so yesterday and ended up even (technically up in sets but W=L overall). Felt like I did a little better than last session overall, but I still have a lot to work on. I have also had it reinforced that I need to get better at fighting keepaway characters,  since every other motherfucker is Guile now. 

I posted it for her pose. She had a disgusted look on her face and she was giving you the hand. This was to confer her disdain for your hatred of.....dammit you have me explaining the punchline -_-

Big fan of that art. Bonita bless.
 
Also Punk's name is Victor? Never knew that. 
 
Echo Fox is an interesting team for him to join up with. Looking forward to seeing what he does as the season goes on.

Thanks, Eventhubs.

I'm glad it's back
