Luke Cage  S2 new trailer
 
 

Black Panther has surpassed the The Last Jedi at the box office. Hopefully a forum member that remains nameless has finally seen it.

When didn’t get that as a post round win pose. 
 
You only had one job Capcom. 

Best of luck to you.
 

 

Wohoo! I just registered to play SFV at the Lima Salty CPT event!
Nothing like drowning in pools 2-0 in another country, far away from home!

DiasFox delivering the goods as always!
 

Speaking of super gold, we officially got those.

I am a bit sad that I lost that game more to lag than to my poor Sakura skills.
Watched the replays was painful as I saw all the rollback points that favoured him.
 
At least I took a clean game from a super gold Karin on my 1st set.
Next one is Lima Salty in Peru. No online this time and my Sakura ought to be much better by then.

Kolin is woman of pure resolve and action. 
 
She works for the messiah of the SF universe and got her powers directly from him. 
 
 
Also she got me to super diamond so she’s da bess 

For me the Guile MU is a toss up after S3 since VT2 gives Kolin a way to deal with Guile. But since it's a finite resource, Kolin still has to win the neutral and that still requires mad work. What sucks is that theoretically Kolin should never win that MU by sure game plan. So when I beat Guile's it feels more like "oh they just suck mad dick" then "oh I'm good now". 
 
Case in point, there's this Grand Master Guile under the CFN Shazzy. This guy.... this fucking guy I swear is like the worst part of Guile amplified buy one billion. Literally perfect defense and boom game. If you are a fucking scrub you will not beat this guy. He's got like 100K points because he lives a breaths rank. 
 
Also what's stopping you from the unga bunga Mika play? Aren't you  a Mike lover?

Nothing wrong with that.
 

Mika and Laura 🤢🤮

Yes, yes she does. 
 
Also congrats! 😁 Keep on climbing!

Ranked Session 2 Report:
Managed to play for around 2 hours yesterday and I lost a dizzying amount of games and sets across it. The challenge level between the players I was used to and what I am running into now is widely different and I'm still learning how to deal with that.

I was actually really surprised to end the session slightly up from where I started. There was a time where I dipped back down into Super Silver and I figured that I may be better off retiring to JRPGs and other old people games. I lost the majority of my initial sets, including my warm up games, and damn is that demoralizing. Thankfully I managed to turn it around. Apparently I am exactly 3800 LP worth of skill. 😉
 
The one thing that was nice was that anyone that I ran into a second time, I won the sets against. Including a Gold Birdie, which was satisfying, and making a Bison quit the set. I also think my pressure with Laura is getting a little better. It is so damn important to be able to make momentum count with her and previously downbacking would mostly defeat me. Now at least I'm able to keep pressure up more often with Avante cancels and some staggered buttons which I'm seeing result in more stuns and cornering.
 
I still need to work on AAs. I don't use HP Bolt enough, I was still trying to jab AA (sort of had that beat out of me but I need to keep that habit dead), and I have a really bad habit of hitting back + MP to AA which results in MP Clap instead of st.MP, which in turn results in eating a sweet jump in combo. 
 
Also need to get better about just holding my ground and being patient. Most of the time when I get blown up I feel like its because I'm hitting buttons at bad times (often clearly bad times) or I'm teching when I shouldn't be. In general I think I get too nervous on defense and end up doing dumb stuff like that. Thankfully Ranked is full of psychos so I'll get plenty of practice blocking.
 
The upside of ending on winning sets is that I feel more motivated to get back to it then if I ended on losses, even if I'm mostly treading water. Its going to be serious baby steps to get to Platinum. I need to be able to actually hang in Gold first, then slowly climb up the rungs. It feels doable, which is good, but I also know I need a lot more practice and will probably take a good number more beatings before I'll really start to gain traction.

I am a scrub super silver Sakura main now. 😄

Never say never.
 
Who knows...one day that other place might have an unfortunate accident.
 
I'm jk I wish that place all the best please don't kill me illuminati thx

E.C will never come here that damn monkey 🔫

E.C will never come here that damn monkey 🔫

Dime  and Evil Canadian 🐵 have their own emotes and they don't even post here 😥

I am so not ready for the tournament this Saturday.
And then some crazy lass that is helping organize it posts about it on twitter and tag my sorry silver SFV ass along grand masters, masters and diamond players, ffs.

You need to get to Grand Master before we spring for the cosplay package.

I could have told you it wasn't a joke.  😉
 
I, no bullshit, had a buddy in college that was really considering it. Used to bring up the site and show me who he was looking at. He never went through with it so far as I know but the weirdness of that experience always stuck with me.

NO WAIT PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THEM
