By the way, Laura wins in the SFV tournament, for all real SF fans who miss real footsies and honest skill. Naturally Laura won with her famous honest neutral we all remember very well, against Ed, the character with real skillful inputs.

That Tokido-Shuto game, man.

Vega won EVO in SFIV. It only took 14 years or something.

Momochi versus that other guy:

As @Dragonfave723posted in the story thread, the full A.K.I. comic has been posted on Twitter. "X" for Musk's fans.

No, you stop copying me, I've seen the hot psycho Chinese lady first, and also actually liked F.A.N.G's design back in V! All of the e-thots' asses belong to me! 😠😠😠

Ah, the instant main type. She got my interest.

They better release that comic to the general public eventually, I'll be pissed if not. Also, what is A.K.I.'s character like in there? She's totally new, so I'm curious.

MR points, uh?

There's a good chance there was another plan where modern controls were never contemplated too. I feel like this is just Eventhubs stirring the pot with shitty translation because their audience need to hate the SF development team. They can definitely keep playing without in that case then, I ain't learning no shitty modern controls. In that case I'll just stick to 6.

I've heard the translation on that interview is sketchy. Even then, I don't see what's wrong there. They could have made the game with modern inputs only if they wanted. They ended up not wanting to because a bunch of developers didn't even like that they were called "Modern" and "Classic", let alone getting rid of Classic. All I'm getting from that is that developers consider a large amount of potential design choices before throwing away 95% of them and decide what's the best direction to go.

I just enjoy watching anything Street Fighter. Ya'll are just picky. Anyway, when does A.K.I. comes out, I want to see if she's a potential secondary character or not.

I noticed and notice that every time I play against Jamie because his dash punch special seems bloody impossible to block on reaction even though it doesn't even look particularly fast.

You may now refer to me as Master Phantom_Miria. In case you wish for a more informal way of referring to my most prestigious person then simply Master or His Excellency will suffice. I am a merciful lord.

So, the main theme of MK1 is basically "what if this character's story was the opposite of what it used to be". Kitana and Mileena's roles are switched. Scorpion and Sub-Zero as well. Baraka isn't a token bad guy jobber but kind of a hero for a bunch of oppressed people. Tanya isn't a chronic backstabber but the most loyal of Edenia's bodyguard (so Jade is going to be the traitor in this one, maybe?). I don't know. Much like the "what if in the next game there's a time skip and we play as the children/students of the old main characters who are now masters" trope I feel that it sounds interesting when fans speculate about it and it's likely to turn dumb and unappealing when they actually make a game out of it. Also, the trend of using stunning real life actors to face-scan and then seemingly uglify them in-game continues. Like, is this on purpose or are they just fucking up? If it's the latter, are they really that bad? And if it's the former, why even?

On one hand, now each and every scrub in the game will be able to always buffer Drive Rush correctly and never drop it. This is bad and not a good thing. On the other hand, now I will always be able to buffer Drive Rush correctly and I will never miss one again. This is a good thing. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

The animations have improved in terms of of fluidity, it's the cancels that look really janky, plus the Kung Lao thing where he teleports that just very silly. MK games have been constantly improving in terms of animation, but they keep having stuff that doesn't look right. Also, I just thought the meme was funny.

Biggest revelation ever since I figured out that "Skullgirls" was a pun on "Schoolgirls". It took me several years to notice that, by the way.

Nice! This Digital Playground take on Snow White seems promising. Wait, what do you mean that this is Disney? I know it looked too cheap for Digital Playground, but this is too much!

This is the ideal crossup jump. You may not like it, but this is what a peak mixup looks like. https://clips.twitch.tv/BusyIgnorantArtichokeBrokeBack-SQxuq0Yl5bWebSOO
