    Not necessarily. It was definitely one of those matchups where you needed to know his Oga setups for your character. If he was fishing for those (and there were obvious tells in most cases), it was a matter of blocking normally, not as a crossup. Definitely not a near-unblockable.

    And yeah, him getting a ton of damage was easy because he didn't have a reason to burn bar until Ultra, when they made the swap on his HK and EX Gekiro. Even then, he was still good.

    EDIT: The only period where he suffered was during Super, when he lost a lot of his BS from vanilla and didn't get his bread and butters until AE.

    It must be karmic of the highest order that, in their pursuit of making the most E-sport fighting game, they ended up with a game that is easily the most boring SF to date. wew, what a hit with the player and the audience this fella is!

    Just posting here to say fuck Capcom and their stupid costume DLC in SF5. $4 for a single costume? You pile of garbage company holy fuck. I also had to give Steam $5 to fill up my wallet ($5 increments only) with enough to buy the DLC in the first place. I remember when they used to sell this shit in packs and it was actually worth the money. I mean yeah, I'm still a retard who spent $4 on a single Mika outfit, but I would buy more of this shit (on sale) had they sold it in packs instead.

    Eh, there is paid costume stuff down the line for Tekken 7, and the metal outfits hidden behind the season pass. It's not *all* free

    Does it take forever to get costumes with fight money?

    Final reg numbers per McRibs

    SFV 2622
    Smash4 1515
    Melee 1435
    T7 1278
    Injustice2 883
    GG 827
    UMVC3 648
    BB 499
    KOF 375

    2.6k for V is still higher numbers then IV ever saw at Evo, so as bad as the game may or may not be it hasn't killed the FGC yet.

    If SF4 ever had $250,000 or whatever the hell it is behind it, then it would have easily been above these numbers lol.

    Edit: It is $600,000 this year lmao.

    Money for tournies always goes up unless the entire venue is crumbling. League and Dota go up every year. CS2 goes up every year. Whenever more people watch, money goes up. Is what it is.

    Rooting the fuck against Chris G this year. Love the dude's talent, but he's a fucking idiot.

    EVO 2017 - Where everyone is not playing SFV

    If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.

    EDIT: So since more money than ever, is the fgc is or isn't dying? What's the cool r/Kappa opinion of the day?

    Don't bother trying to reason with the mindless SF4 fanboys. They will always have an excuse.

    The reason why Sm4sh and Melee each have ~1000 less entries than 2016 is probably also somehow SF5's fault.

    I do think this'll be the first EVO in awhile where I'm more interested in the up-and-coming games and tech demos than the actual main events. Between DBZ and what could be the Street Fighter EX: Non-SF Edition both being there, I'm actually wishing I was in Vegas this year.

    Sorry, bitched and then forgot to check in and see if anyone even read my bitching. You can't buy everything with FM, sadly. Basically every "DLC" costume that comes out you have to buy with real money. You can buy the first few costumes with FM (story and...battle?*) but the rest require real dosh. Its shit.

    edit: *Even worse, it's just story you can buy with FM. I thought it was battle, as well, because I got the battle costumes with S2.

    I don't mind the bottom half having low numbers. I think we'll see higher quality matches this way instead of everyone signing up for cashgrabV.

    KOF is relegated to a Friday finals slot, Saturday will be GG, Injustice 2, and Melee in that order.

    I greatly appreciate Melee getting put as the final slot for Saturday so I don't have to wait 4 hours for it to finish so I can watch real fighting games.

    Edit : Sunday - uMvC3, BBCF, Tekken 7, Smash 4, SFV

    Yeah, it definitely makes Smash a lot less intolerable when they make it into a bookend. The ideal situation would be Melee as the last Saturday game and SSB4 as the first Sunday game.

    Speaking of Melee, does Evo run Melee on CRTs? We still have a Melee scene locally (kind of adjacent to the FGC) and when I have tried to discuss HDMI Gamecubes with those guys it was basically like I wasn't even speaking at all... as if I was suggesting a way to use a SNES controller on a PS4 or something. It was complete and utter disinterest, due to the "ridiculous lag of HDTVs." I guess these are the type of guys who would have been happy playing SF4 and MVC3 on CRTs?

    I don't fucking get why an old game like bbcf is getting the sunday slot over guilty gear.

    really, bro, really? are we really going there?

    Yeah, let's forget the abysmal sales. let's forget the universally panned reviews. let's forget factual decline in numbers @ tournaments and stream viewership across the board. let's forget being universally mocked and hated by local scrubs and top players alike. let's forget the massive 50% drop off in EVO numbers. let's forget it got way less viewership @ topanga where it was FREE this year vs PAID viewership from the last year of USF4.

    but hey, because sony keeps throwing money at it trying to keep it afloat, this surely means SF5 is a resounding success!

    that's spiderdan level of autistic, willful, stupidity.
