Street Fighter V

[jyoung]

I was hoping that the double fight money promotion would have brought out a bunch of beginners to beat up on but I think the reverse actually happened and all the pros hopped instead because my rating took a beating this weekend playing lots of tough competitors. I did manage to have a few highlight-worthy matches, at least:

Pretty hilarious. So who on here plays regularly? You and Pappy. Anyone else?

I haven't played in a few weeks. I have stretches where I play a lot and then I stop for a bit. I need to get back on so my Laura doesn't fall off too badly. Just been messing around with KOF lately. Need to play Guilty Gear more as well lol.

Good problems to have. Things are going to get worse when 2K drops, though.

I forgot that we should be getting Urien this month. He seemed interesting in the story, he could be fun to mess around with. Just give me Sagat in season 2, though. Laura isn't going anywhere no matter what, but it's time for them to let me get busy out here.

I'm thinking seriously about picking up GG. I'm MEGA casual in that game, though. I literally don't even know a single character's moves or how the system works. I just love, love, love the art and music. If I do pick it up, I'm down to play any time. I'm surprised you guys don't do OS lobbies on SFV. I haven't played too much. Been nibbling at it really. Played a few ranked matches for the double xp weekend but I'd love to Battle Lounge with you guys and start really learning this game and have fun and talk crap.

Guilty Gear is a fantastic fighter. I'm a super scrub in that game and really only mess with 2 characters, but it's great. It has a very detailed tutorial that will get you going.

The problem with that game is that connecting to friends online is hit or miss. There have been times where we've tried to connect and we don't even see the same lobby names populating on our lists. There's no invite system either unless that was finally patched in and I don't know about it. I haven't tried to play online in a bit, so maybe things have been cleaned up. It's really fun when you can actually play it.

If dudes ever get a Street Fighter lobby going, I'm down. I played 24th when the game first came out, but that's about it from OS. He ran from me afterwards, and then did the same in 2K after I bested him in that. Now he's hiding in the stands whenever he sees me on the Madden field. Hopefully the rest of you have more heart than that guy.

I didn't play the game after the last update (Juri). I just did her trials (kinda complicated) and dropped (mostly because my PS Plus ran out.

Hopped back into Street Fighter land last night. It was me, a friend of mine and a random who just joined in. The random had Juri and he absolutely destroyed us for an hour. We got a few matches off him, but never the full set. I did need practice against her, though, so it's all good. I don't think he jumped once the whole night and he had the anti-air jab down to a science. Actually, you know what... **** that guy lol.
