First proper gameplay of SF5 was released, and it looks pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIdnJQZ_lkg

It's pretty heavily based on the matchup. For example there was a Sagat vs Zangeif matchup i was watching which was just boring as shit, Sagat kept throwing out fireballs, Geif would block them, occasionally jump and try and get in. It was just fucking boring to watch. But if you see someone who's more rushdown centric played then it can be pretty crazy. Just as an example this video of an amazing Makoto vs an amazing Cammy. There's a lot of ground game and footsies which just transition into a full on fight, and some really crazy combos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdocUtPZq5s A lot of the enjoyment for me comes from seeing characters played in ways that I didn't know they could be played. In terms of innovation Street Fighter 4 added EX moves, and the focus attack system which innovated a lot. EX moves allowed for crazier combos, and focus attack cancels allowed for even more on top of that. You could also use focus attacks in a more intended way to block attacks and conterattack them, or to block projectiles and dash forwards after so you could approach without jumping, but with the added risk of having white health from blocking the projectiles, which would destroy you if you got hit by something. On top of that Ultra Street Fighter 4 (the most recent version) added the Red Focus system, which let you sacrifice 2 EX meter for an improved focus attack that would crumple opponents at level 1 charge, do 1.5x the damage of a regular focus attack but most notably would give you infinite armor while charging it (unlike the regular focus attack which would only give you armor for one hit) allowing you to stop anything that wasnt a grab or an armor breaking move. Plus with Street Fighter 5 presumed to drop in 2016 at some point, there's a high chance that it will mix up a lot and not just be a graphical update.

Capcom Cup 2014 is starting soon. It's essentially the most skilled Street Fighter players fighting off to become the world champion, so it's SF's equivalent to WCS, Worlds or The International. If you're even slightly interested in Street Fighter I'd recommend watching it (also bcus i want ppl 2 talk to about it with). I'm rooting for PR Balrog or Nuckledu, although there's nobody I don't want to win.

i should watch amusement club season 2.

Sakurakbros WW@? On that note Sakurako>Yui>Himawari>Kyouko>Akarain are all acceptable answers.

i remember when I could sit on the MLM VSH server all day listening to shitty pony songs being mic spammed in arse quality and talking to people and playing TF2 and now it's like this. rest in fucking peace.

A lot of people complained about Arms from what I heard, when I tried it out I thought it was pretty fun...

Incorrect. The saddest is when bitches come and go but you stay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrQWhFysPKY

Yeah, we're on personal for the time being because we've not got a set raid team, just whoever signs up and is confirmed comes. It's only gonna be like this for a bit until we get a more solid group, so probably until we go into progressing HC. It's my first experience of proper raiding and so far it's been pretty fun.

Christ, you're gonna have a hell of a time on Tectus then. Ranged movement is so fucking hard on it. I don't know how we managed to get our shit together and down it, but we had 15 seconds left until the enrage timer. It's a really fucking hard boss but christ, when it went down nobody could believe it. Mumble was silent for about 2 or 3 seconds until I said "holy fuck we actually did it", proceded by much "WHAT THE FUCK JUST GOLD?!?!?!" Brackenspore is just plain fun though, but if you're a rogue you're gonna be on flamethrower duty because of Burst of Speed, which to be fair is what made me enjoy the fight.

If you're primarily melee DPS then have them split into two equal groups on either side of the boss, then have 1 ranged DPS (we used hunters) stand near each group, and have the rest of the RDPS in a big stack at the side of the room. On the pull have 1 of the ranged DPS in one melee group, then when the cleave debuff on that group hits 4 stack have the ranged DPS run out, and have the ranged DPS near the other group run in. When he throws everyone away have all of the ranged that are near the outside get back to their position ASAP so he runs and cleaves them, then have the tanks pull him back to the middle. We did that and managed to one shot him.

Tectus down after like 14 attempts, Brackenspore down after 2.

Depends who you play against and what character they use. You actually don't see many Ryu's or Sagats online from my experience, at a low level you see a lot of Dudley and Cody for some reason. Fireball spam on any character is easy enough to counter when you learn the players patterns, for example a Sagat that constantly throws them out as quickly as possible will make it easy for you to jump over and catch him out with a jump in. However a Guile who's throwing out fireballs at stranger intervals, and alternating between low, medium and high variations would be a lot harder to deal with because you'll never be sure when its safe to get closer, plus he gives himself a better chance to anti air you. Either way fireball characters aren't anything to be ashamed of playing because it's just a part of the game, just like how grapplers cant have their grabs blocked only moved away from or hit with a faster move.

This guy doesn't know anything.

Hit me up on steam boy we'll have a great time.

get on the fightan train boi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaNkh_yLTsk

Well call the SJWs because I guess I'm raping everyone.

People want Esports and competitive gaming in general to be taken seriously, then shit like this happens and they have no idea why people laugh at the prospect of it. This is beyond stupid, like holy shit. If you want to be taken seriously the last thing you do is be happy when YouPorn sponsors a fucking team.
