Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Looks like the Johnny is spacing himself out properly against Blade Charge, I see no problems there.

So I was playing Kolin and G again and remembering that there are fun characters in this game. How are Poison and Zeku? Are they fun?

Did they ever buff Falke? I liked her pseudo Venom gameplay

If I was going to order buttons and a stick, would FocusAttack be the best place to go? I got recommended a few sites several pages back, but FocusAttack seems to be the go-to site from what I gathered.

Anecdotally I'd say order from Arcade Shock. Same prices, better stock on Korean parts (not too applicable for you unless you try Crown buttons), faster shipping (again, anecdotally since they're in the same state) and Focus Attack like just this week hosed up and sold more JLFs than they had in stock and have to place orders on hold while they try to catch up. Focus Attack just happens to have a few specialty items you don't have a choice with like new aluminum faceplates and easy art printing.

I've had good overall experience with both of those shops in addition to Paradise Arcade. Their selection varies enough that one will have something neither of the others do.

HawaiianShirtMan plays Zeku, and he has a really good time doing it. Falke was apparently buffed in the past few patches.

I've played a small amount of SFV recently, mostly using Rashid. The highlight for me was running into a guy named IMTHEBEST420 who really embodied the Flowchart Ken stereotype.

People seem to really like Zeku. Poison a lot of folks are more sour on, since she's basically Xrd-era Axl Low in the Street Fighter engine and has been every bit as oppressive as that sounds, but the people who enjoy her love her since she's really unique for a defensive character/zoner in SF (in part by being a defensive character/zoner actually seeing success in SFV) while also having some solid blow-up potential.

Which leads to Falke, who has received nothing but buffs since her genesis and has been bottom 5 her entire life despite that- her kit's just never worked in SFV. That said, Season 5 is likely the largest set of buffs she's ever received, between her being one of the biggest beneficiaries of V-Shift with her lack of good reversals and bad V-Triggers, her projectiles becoming better in a patch where most good projectiles have seen nerfs, and much better meterless/one bar conversions. I'm not convinced she's good because she's still Falke, but if her gameplan's gonna ever work, now is the time.

Wait they made a new Mortal Kombat movie? Is it as good as the first one?

It's unlikely but we don't actually know yet as it releases on April 16th (theatrically and HBO Max). It's R-rated and has an R-rated trailer so that's promising, at least.

There was also a direct-to-video R-rated animated feature last year.

It's dumb as balls but is entertaining in a turn-your-brain-off way, actually gives off some Ninja Scroll vibes.

It's worth going through Bafael's overview of the changes each character got since they are a good view of how all the changes mesh together, particularly for less straightforward things like falling faster. Falke and Kage in particular got some neat routes.

You can miss some of the directional steps and still have it count. Like, half circle forward doesn't need to be 41236, 4136 works.

Short version: he abused and gaslit his partner for two years until she finally had a public breakdown, at which point SM tried to play the victim and mobilize the local scene in his defense against her. She had to move cross country to get away from him.

Unless you know you need some specific model, JLF-TP-8YT is what you're looking for. '-SK' stands for shaft cover, T/S/- (flat, stepped, none) are mounting plate options, Y/- is the pcb orientation.

JLFD is their detachable lever option similar to thirdparty quick release shafts, JLF-TPRG uses silent micro switches with regular (A) and high tension (B) options.

Thanks.

I was going to say, it looks like the sticks were sold out on Focus Attack. I checked Arcade Shock, and I think I found the right one, though I'm not sure (it's got the SK/shaft cover, but maybe you can remove it? Can't seem to find another one without the shaft cover).

EDIT: There's this one, without the mounting plate and wiring harness, but it's currently sold out.

EDIT2: Paradise Arcade is also sold out of the JLF-TP-8YT.

That shaft cover just shwoops right off, it's just a plastic tube that slides over the top half of the shaft. The only thing missing from that Arcade Shock JLF is an actual ball/bat top

It's extremely good

In other news I-no is still super sick and I can't wait to try her in Strive. I'm still terrible at the big airdash conversations, but I think I'm ready to go get smacked around online.

I was thinking about switching over to +R however since the online play is significantly better, despite her being a bit different there for sure, but my understanding is that she's way, way harder in +R than in Xrd. Is that correct? I know +R in general is a lot harder, but was hoping the basic stuff is similar

If so maybe I'll just mess around in delay based prison until strive comes out

one major thing is that her chemical love moves have a hcb,f input instead of the qcb input they have in Xrd. there’s probably more advanced stuff, but that alone sounds like a pain in the rear end

I actually realized why the dang 6P 5HS IAD jK jS 214S portion of the combo is so hard and I don't know why I didn't notice it when I first started practicing. It's entirely because you can't jump cancel 5HS, which means it's actually a link to get the IAD jK in there, and seems like a fairly tight one. Not to mention I guess that if you press jK too fast it doesn't come out and gets swallowed up by the start of the IAD

The good news is that the timing really feels the same everywhere, regardless of mid screen or in the corner. Though I haven't actually tried it on other characters so there's probably some annoying character restrictions or something based on fall speed

That's a profound delay. Hopefully for scrapping the lobbies and starting over but lol they persisted until now.

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
"Stability" is funny to me because outside of the Beta just outright making GBS threads itself, at least the matches themselves ensured that I will not go back to any delay-based online for awhile.

But man, if they actually do just completely revamp the lobbies for the old cab system...

Once they fixed the server after the initial Zerg rush, the matches were PERFECT and the only negative was those lovely lobbys sucking and dropping players. Basically these lobbys should’ve been totally scrapped after the first beta but they didn’t wanna do it back then and now we’re suffering for it.

Weird Pumpkin
Oct 7, 2007

Aww man.. maybe I should just learn I-no in +r so I don't have to deal with delay based netcode for an extra two months

Sounds like they're reworking the lobbies though, considering they're specifically mentioning them in the announcement. Wonder what else they're working on?

Honestly if they opened up gatlings again it'd basically be perfect, though I liked the gameplay as it was. Maybe they'll add the replay stuff they're adding to +r as well?

Gutcruncher

I’d be surprised if they were changing anything as drastic to the core gameplay as how gatlings work this late in the game. It’s likely entirely centered around a total reworking of how lobbies work or, god willing, just removing them entirely.

Yeah, I presume it's lobbies + the instability.

I would love for them to add the resume replay stuff that's being pushed into AC +R though, that's really slick and honestly seems super useful as well

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
The resume replay stuff is so huge because you have an exact answer to people being like "why would I just watch myself get destroyed in replay" which, is a fair concern if you don't want to study frame data, research, etc outside of the game, with the answer being "okay how about just put yourself in that clutch situation again and you can experiment to see what works"

While I am bewildered that it took up to a loving Accent Core steam port to do this, this absolutely needs to be the industry standard going forward
