AEW's Kenny Omega sporting a Manon costume last night.

The future is now, old man.
 
 

Insane that SF6 is already on track to break 2.5m copies in barely 5 months, that is a MASSIVE difference in financial performance compared to V
 
I think by 1st anniversary it'll easily cross 3 million, if not more. Which also means it's a guaranteed spot in Capcom hall of fame 

Nah, man, he gonna learn.
 
Welcome to the real world, jwong. 

I literally just built a computer like two weeks ago. Cooler Master WTF man.
 
Edit: Damn, now JWong is getting 3rd Strike parried on the phone. Leave JWong alone.

Yeah this A.K.I. cosplay is really good.
 
 

You know, I wasn't really too excited about Tekken 8. Even though I thought Tekken 7 was one hell of a game, I never really got into it like that.
 
After giving the beta a try, I can say that I'm looking forward to it now.
 
I played Jun a lot in Tekken 2, so it was nice to use her again. I tend to gravitate to Xiaoyu. 
 
My Tekken 8 ID was "MyJunIsFree" 😄
 

Oh man. I really did not need to hear that.
 
RIP Floe. I'll always remember the joy and laughs I got from your streams.
 
His Birthday was just on the 11th.
 
Terrible.

This game, I swear...
 
I wasn't going to play it anymore until they fix the dropped reversals thing but I thought, to hell with it, I'll just abandon my cagey, deliberate playstyle and go full spaz mode with Blanka like a coked out green gorilla. Result: I went from 23,900-something points to over 25,400 in the span of one day. By throwing all caution in the wind and just going apeshit, I did better than I ever did when I was trying to 'play' the game. If SFIV and previous games can be likened to rock, paper, scissors and chess, then SFV and SF6 are like playing basketball on a minefield. 
 
I guess the days of slower-paced, footsie-oriented fighting games are gone for good. Can't say I like where this is going. Oh well, at least I'm in Master now, so I got that monkey off my back. Took me over 28 hours, but better late than never, eh?

I always liked these graphs in sf5. 
 
 

I think the poles are Bison, Sagat, Akuma.  And then, yeah, the one on the ground is Adon.

I gotta get back on this game. If it weren't for being caught in a whole lot of Strive labbing I'd be on this. Actually we need to organize some type of fight nights.

To keep it 100 with you. A bunch dudes felt some type of way because they thought Poison was hot and found out she was trans. There was no "potentially" Poison and Roxy were always trans. Akiman's original pen&paper sketches for Poison and Roxy show this. This was who Poison and Roxy were long before they even decided to localize the game in the West. Instead of just taking the L, insecure dudes went though all sort of mental gymnastics to try an avoid acceptance of that fact. Double Dragon pre-dated Final Fight. It starts off with Marian getting stole on and carried off. Billy and Jimmy Lee precede to throw hands on anyone, women included, to get her back and no one gave a fuck. Nintendo had a problem with Cody and Haggar hitting women, so they replaced them with two male characters. So it obvious to the player that they are only beating up other men.
 
The Poison was trans to avoid the stigma of men hitting women argument doesn't hold any water.  No one was reading lore on arcade machines. No one would have anyway of knowing that Poison and Roxy "aren't really women" in early 90s. If it were really an issue, Capcom would have done to the US arcade machine what Nintendo insisted they do to the SNES port and replace Poison and Roxy with male characters. In truth, it never was controversy. Just salty dudes not taking accountability for jerking off to trans character. 

Tournament Tuesday, anyone? The Chipotle Daily Brackets Tournaments are still running until October 21! Winners of each tournament receive Drive Tickets, while all participants will get adorable stickers.          

Is it just me...or are those tikis on Dee Jay's stage Bison, Sagat and Adon? Top left, middle left and middle right and bottom right in the sand (in order)
