I actually have been messing around with more teams, but I rarely play the game now. There are teams that I want to get good with, but I don't have the time.

VJoe/Frank/Shuma is one of those teams. It's so much fun, but that execution and knowledge...

That team sounds frustrating to learn. Beef plays Joe and man is it annoying when lag is involved, you can barely grab the little bugger! You should play more mahvel, its a great game.

DO NOT complain!

I'd rather face bullet hell then deal with Zero's braindead mixups on incoming Dahbomb, at least for one of them I can block!

UMvC3: Dante/Vergil/Strider
P4AU: Yu Narukami
Melee: Link
Brawl: Ike
Project M: Ike/Link
Smash 4: Shulk/Pikachu/Link
DoA5: Kokoro
Guilty Gear series: Ky, Dizzy, Jam
Street Fighter 3: Yang/Ken
Street Fighter 4: Ken
UNIEL: Orie, Seth
MvC2: Strider/Doom/IronMan
BB: Hakumen
Soul Calibur: Xianghua/Link in SC2

The more sword characters, the better!

I'm liking that twilt followed smeddy's advice and started posting here more! nice avy btw :>

It has a really fun keepaway game. Not amazing, but decent. Frank/Shuma's neat too.

There's so much knowledge for me to catch up on in the game. The people that constantly play it are so good :(

Team ZMC has helped me fraud my way to victory to compensate how little I play it now though lol
But swords are always OP! Except for that dengeki game, its beyond me how that little basketball girl has an infinite and skyrocketed the tier list in that game according to my anime scene.

Tomoka has an infinite? I've been away for too long.

Darkstalkers - Lilith
Guilty Gear - Bridget
Street Fighter - Cody
Fatal Fury - Terry Bogard
Persona 4 Arena - Teddie
Super Smash Bros - Pikachu
BlazBlue - Platinum The Trinity
Samurai Shodown - Shizumaru Hisame

These are generally the franchises that I'd typically buy a new game from.
If the character I don't like's not in a game in the franchise, I probably won't own it, but I'd still generally follow the scene and stuff. Though I'm into Super Smash Bros for non-competitive reasons, so that's not the case there.
That's not the only reason I wouldn't get a game, but probably my 2nd biggest reason.
 
used my ps4 money on a new laptop. i might skip this gen most likely. don't see myself buying a ps4 just for sf5.
I might do the same too. Laptops are just more comfortable for gaming. Just gotta hold out for as long as possible. Four core intel laptops with dedicated Nvidia GPUs aren't cheap. Bloodborne and Uncharted are the biggest games standing in the way of that.

After that comes VR and a whole new round of GPUs. Consoles aren't looking quite as appetizing as they used to. If we're lucky vanilla Xrd will finally be released around the time SFV launches. It'll be a good time to upgrade to a laptop.

Ugh, I'm not looking forward to having to tag all 72 tracks manually for my Sm4sh soundtrack CD that came in the mail. Nintendo can't even give gifts right!

In a game I never cared for that's based around a playstyle I hate, I had to pick someone up so I could still play with my friends. It was either Chipp or Axl, and I didn't like Axl's buttons.

EDIT: This was all more than a decade ago, btw. Once CvS2 dropped, nearly all of us dropped GG entirely. I only stayed with GG for so long because it was one of the few games I was beatable in, and I liked making my friends happy.

Those reasons are why I want to play it.

I played ST for a few weeks 2 months ago and it was so fun. What I really enjoy about this game :

1. Matches are going fast
2. There's so much damage it's ok to lose and try again
3. The game is fast and fun. Damn just play Ryu in ST with sweep light tatsu dancing... <3
4. All things are tight and hard but not that complicated to be honest. The hardest thing is reversals between light attacks.
5. Footsies are soooo much harder but so much fun. I remember doing 20 matches Ryu vs Zangief and the spot between being too close and too far was so small but so vital you HAVE to keep it and it makes the game much more demanding... And fun.

Looks like Tokido has started the Zangief, Gen, and Rog training. Xian, Snake Eyez, and PR Rog, Tokido has decided to focus on you guys.

he said this is the last year he'll play competitively. a lot of people misunderstood his tweet and thought he's quitting this year.

The way he said it made everyone think he would stop at that very moment, looked like he didn't had any time to play fg's anymore, but yeah, he's still in this year

Exactly what everyone expected tho

Terrible year to quit Street Fighter if you ask me
if an old ass game like SFIV is giving some good money, imagine with SFV in this way
