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."

Ed is great. I don't like his whole "buttons as specials thing" and I can't piano for shit either but those are just me. I think he ended up being "better Ken" and I had a helluva  lot of fun playing Ken so I think Ed would be a blast.
 
 
Was definitely fun. I'm sure it was a world of difference between using Sakura and the Gief. 
 
I had fun using Juri. Just playing someone with longer pokes and fast walk speed after Laura is a treat. Stores are definitely a pain in the ass.

Plastic boobies ew gross 
 
if I could do Flicker on point I’d use Ed in a heart beat. I get allot of shit because I mostly use grills in V but I would love to do Ed shit.

Someone said it best but there’s more people like the idea of DS’s more than people who play the games. 
 
This is apparent when you see how many women cosplay as Morrigan or Lilith but have probably never put time into any game they’ve been in. I feel this is in some part Capcoms fault but in the end not much anyone can do about it. I mean even the main character of DS plays second fiddle to the poster girl of the franchise. 
 
I wish they’d release a collection on PS4. 
 
 

If you are finding match ups like Guile irritating, Menat is the much better go-to than Laura. Laura has it better vs zoning than someone like Mika and I think may have a better time against Guile than Chun but overall it is still a grinder of a fight. Menat allows you to not have to throw yourself into the meat grinder, and if you've played anime games getting her harder components down shouldn't be too bad; you don't even need optimal VT1 combos, just a decent sequence that you can convert to and you'll be fine.
 
 
Yeah 801 and Idom are the two clear stand outs for me. The term I always think of with them is "technical Laura". She's always going to be nutty, but they play her smart-nutty in a way that I find really impressive. 
 
I've never like Wolfkrone. His personality always rubbed me kind of the wrong way and I was never impressed by the way he played the character. 
 
I usually like watching most Laura players I've seen, but like you said Idom and 801 are the ones I really watch when I'm trying to tech up.  And I also wish she had more prominent Japanese players  because I think she'd have a Fuudo or someone like that and it would be great to watch. Again I like the more technical players and you usually get from Japan out of all the regions. The upside of no Japanese representation is that for as popular as she has ever been online or regionally she also doesn't seem to end up in a lot of top 8's or higher in the big events (#grapplerlyfe) so I'm always excited to see someone playing her make the cut.

I am also a fan of Idom's Laura.
But it's really unfortunate that he doesn't travel much. I think he would do very well at international tournaments.
At least we still got 801 Strider who is pretty charismatic and just a smart player in general.
 
I don't like most of the other Laura's tho. Wolfkrone was pretty good last year, but don't like his personality and he dropped her for Zeku.
Will2Pac is good too, but like Idom, he doesn't seem to travel much.
MikeandIke, Ice Effect and KyleP are not that interesting to me. 801 Strider and Idom are clearly on another level imo. And I always only try to learn from the best. =p
 
When SFV came out, I had hopes for a Japanese player picking up Laura. There was Dashio (the amazing Seth player from SFIV), who played her at the beginning, but I never saw him at any tournaments so I think he dropped the game.
 
So yeah, I am basically only rooting for 801 Strider atm when it comes to my main.
For my side bae's I am rooting for Fuudo, Sako, Go1, Infiltration and hsien cheng (he still plays Juri I hope?).

Idom is technically my favorite Laura player but he doesn't seem to get out to as many events. Strider is a close second though and he seems like a cool dude so hopefully bonita blesses him. Also rooting for Pavocado because I can't not root for the few Mika players that are sticking it out.
 
And I secretly hope that Problem X can work the same magic he does at WNF just so the world can appreciate the horror of high octane.

You had a typo there. Don't worry I fixed it.

He lost to Neon in the mirror at Final Round. Not sure how they read that. 
 
They might nerf Kolin just to be safe, and buff Abigail again because vroom vroom screeeeeech
 
 
 
 

The Juri/Lilith costume looks weird in the stills. Something about the hair and the way her face is shaped is throwing it for me. I actually respect that they altered her sweater dicks to fit the char.
 
The Menat one is cute and of course I'm gonna shill for it but the Urien/Donovan costume is the clear home run of the bunch. His SFV character model is a great fit so it looks really good, at least in the shots.

I don't play any of them, but I will be buying all three costumes to show Capcom that there is interest in Darkstalkers out there.
And flat Juri keeps putting a smile on my face.

Ok this should be fixed now!  PM has been sent to you. 😃

Pulling the GG conversation back in here from SFV thread.
 
Lobby yesterday was a lot of fun. Had solid connections with everyone except the one guy who was on 56k. 19 frame delay Axl is S+ tier.
 
Definitely gonna try to practice Ram more and hopefully I can split my time more evenly between GG and SFV now that I know there are at least some other people to play. 

If you'd used thong Urien, @A10metal would have been distracted. He would have dropped his combos. This would have given you more openings to achieve victory 😉

My plan is to go full on fighting game bum once I get back from my afternoon plans today. Gonna grab some beer and play as much as I can stand tonight.
 
I've been feeling the Mika temptations pretty strongly recently so it may be time for me to finally just give her some time and see if it works out.
 
I'll also be up for GG or UNIEL if anyone wants to give those a spin.

You are a man of taste, clearly.

I don't know what the fuck I just watched but I saw Splatterhouse in there so I endorse it fully.

Yeah hopefully it'll have cross play but at this point I'm not holding my breath. SFV is one of the few games that has PC/console cross play (one of the other things that makes it sort of tenacious, I think). Everything else you're lucky to get cross play on the same platform - Windows/Xbox for KI (now with Steam, which is nice), PS4/PS3 for Xrd. 
 
I'd love to see more cross play in general. FGs are already niche; having things further constrained by having games spread across 2/3 platforms just plain sucks. Especially in this modern era where Xbox and PS are pretty much just PCs.
 
I've been tempted to get a gaming PC just for FGs since that seems to be the unifying platform but I can't justify the outlay (and I've already shilled so hard for SFV on PS4).
 
I'm gonna pick up the Anniversary Collection too, though I'll have a lot to learn with all those games. I only ever played any of them single player so I don't know shit about playing them against another person. Will be fun to try 3S out though.

KOF character designs for me were always at their best when they were stylish without being too extravagant/anime. It's a style that is really iconic to KOF and really helped distinguish it from a lot of the also-rans. Its a series that is way up there with some of my favorite overall character designs.
 
Also doesn't hurt that it became the new home franchise for the Fatal Fury crew.

Absolutely.
I would love to test other games in that situation as well.
If the Anniversary Collection has cross play, I will be up for some games in ST and Alpha 3.
I could try 3S as well, but I am a complete tragedy at it.
