The Suffering of the Succotash.
ChrisG in marvel is a goddamn snoozefest.

ChrisG in SFIV was bland Sakura bullshit.

ChrisG in SFV is critical hype.

What the hell happened?

Call or fold?

A friend only got me into fighting games recently so I've never watched Evo live, but one of my favorite things to do between practice sessions was watch older videos of evo KOFXIII. poo poo was so hype. Looking forward to Xrd.

Goose's rebellion

I don't really follow the pro fighting games scene anymore except for evo. I assume Infiltration/Daigo/Jwong are still the best players in their respective countries/regions? Is anyone heavily favored to win SF5?

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

I might swap out Daigo for Tokido, but they're both contenders. Of the three, Infiltration is the one who has won the most international premiere competitions. And by "most" I mean "drat near all of them."

And once again we have to endure Melee on Sunday.

Jesus Christ I played that competitively for years and even I'm bored to goddamn tears with it by now. The matchups haven't changed in 8 years.
