I'll pick Chun-Li

there used to be a a fighting game thread in imp zone for playing games together and discussing strats and tech and then everyone used the Evo thread to talk about them, and now well, Evo is over and more people will click on a new thread to talk about them instead of the hundred page Evo thread. Additionally, the Street Fighter V beta starts tomorrow at 6pm PST, which I am very excited to play.

I'll update the op with a list of online handles and games played with platforms of choice if people want. Enjoy the fighting.

the good: sanwa parts, support from madcatz for interchangable parts, real common so easy to pay people to work on, it works on ps4 and poo poo. plexi is easy to remove to customize art.

the bad: madcatz build quality (the only good parts are the poo poo they didn't make) which lead to fun things like:
screws coming pre-stripped
the plexi not always sitting nice and causing bubbling beneath
plexi gets scuffed real easy even for plexi
quick disconnects breaking while in case
stress put on buttons in a weird way to cause them to break easy when trying to remove them. like we broke half of mint's buttons.
lots of people reported stuff like the hinge to open it breaking and poo poo.

they use a special type of quick disconnect which you need a screwdriver to remove and which is a loving PAIN IN THE rear end. ask mint, he can confirm.
they use a non-standard cord type which is a pain in the rear end because the number one point of failure on sticks seems to be the usb cord, and is likely what happened in the usfiv finals, because razer's cords suck rear end, and non-standard cord type.

tldr: build quality is rear end, sanwa parts so it should play fine but like everything uses sanwa parts nowadays

hmm ok. what is the best PS4 stick if im never going to mod it.

cool, i dont have anyone i play against who knows rise. and nobody really plays Normal Labrys just in general. we should play the game, now or some other time.

edit: I play Adachi and Shadow Labrys and become uncontrollably horny whenever i see sprites moving around on a screen

we are gonna play Ultimax tonight, i think. i am playing DQVIII at the moment but after i finish this dungeon i will play.

my psn is moonwalku and i really only play the persona fighter and even then i hardly ever bother playing it. for all i know this might be the last time i look at this thread but if anybody would like to play videogames then hell, maybe we will together.

i am also always up to play extra-rare pc fighting videogame "Gleam of Force" if you happen to find it yourself and figure out how to make it go.

i added you and will be playing tonight, starting now ish.

you picked a good game to learn on, it's very beginner friendly

i also accidentally gravitated towards an easy char with labrys. even in people who were in top 32 at evo with labrys were using autocombo bc its the fastest way to gain axe meter, even if your opponent is blocking, haha.

at least that was the case in p4a. idk about ultimax, but i still use the autocombo a fair bit bc im bad.

I haven't played the AI in a FG in the longest time. Doesn't seem very fun when a practice dummy with the right block/attack settings is all you really want.

I'm not at my computer right now. Are any of the Capcom vs SNK games on fightcade and are any of them good.

I don't have a link handy but all of Tectaleastside's Ultimax matches before he got eliminated. Also whoever was playing Kanji in the Top 8 when killed someone with an offscreen Cesar grab which I didn't even know existed in the game.

The Top 8 match in Xrd where Danger Time triggered in the very first round. Also, ofc, Woshige/Ogawa.

it's not all that suprising altho it seems like it would help build interest in the game ,

there's nothing saying you can't stream, so basically only people streaming will be FGC freaks or personalities anyway so it will prolly cut down on the high volume of streams and get people looking at players Capcom wants to promote . at least, IMO, pulling something completely out of my rear end.
