When they announced SRK forums were closing in 2018 I built this place to replace it.
 
After a month of hard work and sleepless nights I launched it under the name SRK2.  People started to migrate over and things were pretty tight.
 
Then they announced the old SRK forums were NOT closing and everyone except 8 people left.
 
I've been  running this place on my own and keeping this place afloat for 2 years now, and SRK migrants have once again returned.  I hope you guys enjoy your stay!

This dangerous threat must be stopped.

Pretty sure that's Nash for him.
 
I know people that are in constant character crisis.  But more often than not it's not a real crisis.  They just get bored and want to play around with a new character and that's what they find fun about fighting games.  But if the goal is to get gud, you gotta stick to one or two characters and keep grinding.  

here's a thing i made
its basically just sick wish fulfilment
 

You know, a little bird told me about this some months ago.
Glad to see is becoming a reality. 
 
That friend lives in japan and hangs out with people from asw and by extent fb. 
 
When he told me about this he also said that asw was toying alngside namco abiut the idea of updating dbfz netcode. 
 
Dunno about gbfvs, but he said it was a possibility as well. 

Also @DayaanI saw your college post the other day and wanted to add another $0.02 to the pile. Late due to being easily distracted this weekend. Getting officially older does that.
 
You seem like you have your shit together so I wouldn't worry over much about the actual effort of college itself. In my experience college is mostly about - and most valuable - in that it mimics life in these ways: no one is going to bail you out or push you to do things you need to do, and a lot of it is learning about how to deal with people.
 
The people I've known who have had the most issues with college are the folks who were the least likely to self-motivate or focus. The college gets paid regardless of if you actually do the work or not, so unless you get a prof that is really invested you are probably going to be mostly left to your own work ethic. That can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you operate.
 
Likewise, college is probably the first time you really get to experience the phenomenon of how much the person asking for the work makes a difference with how you approach the work. Understanding your professors and what they want out of you can make a big difference in how good or bad a time you have in a given course. There is still some objectivity to the work itself but the better you get a read on what your prof wants the easier of a time in general you will have. Part of that is you will feel confident about how the work you are producing will likely be evaluated, and part of it is also you'll be able to gauge just how much work needs to go into any given class.
 
The actual work itself in college can be specifically difficult but very broadly it mostly comes down to how badly you want it and how good you are at managing yourself. If you say focused, read the room, and pace yourself you'll do just fine.

Had to break balls a bit. Took me more effort to dig back for that quote than it was probably worth. 😁
 
Its definitely an SF5 thing. Remember how much Akhos would bounce around chars? That wasn't necessarily uncertainty; outside of a rare few characters in this game most characters feel like they're missing something. It is really easy to "grass is greener" yourself in this game. "The character I'm playing now doesn't have X, but this char does. Lemme play them. Ah shit, this new char doesn't do Y for shit. Well that 3rd character does Y well.....fuck they suck at Z." Due to the jacked up engine and design ethos of this game you're gonna run into character gaps, and usually not in a "fun" way.
 
For a lot of chars in this game you just have to settle. Much like other things in life, find the char/chars where the good outweighs the bad then just roll with it. Finding that "perfect" char in this game just feels like chasing your own tail.

No, I seriously wasn't. I've stopped competing in 3S since I don't enjoy competing on netplay. I only play stuff I enjoy, and the only reason I'm playing 3S is to learn, because learning is fun. I have more fun in VC with really good players coaching me on how to improve than all alone in a tournament without purpose. I've also pretty much entirely isolated myself from 99% of the community. I just want to play what I can when I can. 

Subs only -- sorry.
 
Maybe I can give it out to tournament or contest winners some day.
 
 
 
 
No, it won't be 3S tourney.  Stop asking.

You should be doing this anyway. 👀
 

 
Still one of my favorite lines in a game. 
 
It's getting cold here too finally. Started snowing Sunday and it's been off and on since. We're in this shitty middle ground of "just enough snow to be a hassle" but "not enough to get a snow day". 

I like the cold and snow cause I can wear layers. 
 
When you wear layers, you get to eat cake and get fat and no one can tell.

Thanks man. I'm not quite ready to get shipped off to The Island yet, though I should probably reserve my spot. 👴

Sounds interesting. Hope it’s good.

I've been cutting my own hair. Actually gave myself a decent fade the other day. I knew it was decent when my wife said, "How the fuck did you do that?" instead of, "What the fuck did you do?!"

Happy belated birthday! 🥳

I think this is apt. Traditional WASP cooking is categorized by its complete lack of seasoning and flavor. When everything you eat tastes like cardboard you need something with the pure corn syrup shock factor of candy corn just to remind you that flavor as a concept exists.
 
My ex-wife's extended family provided side dishes for Thanksgiving one year. I've never had bad mac and cheese before in my life; never even thought it could happen. Learned a valuable lesson that day.

🤣 yeah, i deserve that, lol. My issue is that at the end of the day, i want to get good, and i can get really frustrated when i lose. I love playing Sagat, but it’s a struggle. Chun does feel like the best character for me (especially now that i can do her BNB reliably, not sure what changed), as she’s fast, has good pokes, some dirt, and pretty much plays exactly how i want her too, which has been hard for me to find in this game. The change to her HK Legs causing a knockdown helped a lot with my old issues with her too.
 
But then i watch a sagat clip and i lose any desire to just do well with anyone else, and only want to do well with the King.
 
Also, SFV chun allows me to play how i normally play (such as how I play MK11, 3S, etc), but Sagat in SFV feels like a unique experience. A real uphill battle that will test my fundamentals, which makes SFV a unique experience from MK11, 3S, etc.
 
edit: so yeah, a bunch of excuses as to why i flip mains so much, lol. I do think SFV is fairly unique in this case though. I don’t stray too far from my mains in the other games mentioned.

Glad you had fun playing Sagat. Always feels good when you can outplay someone to where they literally lose it. Especially with zoning in this game.
 
I had something set aside for this moment though.....where the hell did I put it.....aha!
