    Yashiro was rocking that midriff, but Shemrie is still the favourite. For the teams, she could show up elsewhere. They throw out whoever on Women's Team, and there are enough missing classic characters to make an Orochi (or NESTS, for that matter) team.

    Survival mode is garbage. The first 25 rounds are varying levels of zombie AI, and the last 5 are all psychic. Play forumers instead!

    I set up a gdoc for PA forumers in SE++ to trade CFN names (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mnV4gqsEkcvyV4JiW3iklL5yvdOVJUGUVfikbEtxHLs/edit#gid=0) and a Discord voice/text chat server (https://discord.gg/0pbRlJYbEnDoyq6D)

    Most forumers - myself included - are happy to play some beginner sets and teach basics. Happy punching!

    Don't kill yourself, we're getting the ability to buy colors this week with fight money. If there's one color you want that requires a hard clear, don't sweat it. You'll be able to buy it Wednesday.

    Also, I highly recommend coming over to SE for the fighting game thread. It's very active.

    From what I read, it's only premium colors that will be purchasable. And will do.

    He got knocked out by Ricky Ortiz.
    During their match he appeared to be in physical discomfort, repeatedly squeezing his eyes tightly closed for a moment or two.
    While Ricky's Chun is looking immaculate, I watched Xian win evo with Gen not all that many years ago.

    Could be a sleep issue. People tend to stay up real late at majors. I doubt it's an actual eye problem, though it's not unknown. I've met some very, very good players who were nearing (or past) being legally blind. They have tricks to get around it.

    Xian ALWAYS does this. This isn't Sokpuppet being racist. Go watch episodes of Cross Counter Asia. He frequently squeezes his eyes really hard while concentrating. And it's not Xian blinking, you can see him blinking normally...relaxed, what have you. I noticed it while watching those episodes awhile ago.

    Might be his hair actually.

    You can see some of it within the first 30 seconds here:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcYsQsFKQrU

    Around a minute, Xian does a rapid series of squeezes in between normal blinks.

    Anyway, not trying to draw it out or say anything. First time I saw it I thought he was in pain or sleep deprived or something as well. Then I noticed he does it all the time.

    Not a big deal, but I didn't want anyone to think Sokpuppet was being racist.

    Would we even get Shermie in KoF anyway without any other members of the New Face/Orochi team? Yashiro was better, also.

    Shermie's appeared in some spin-off games by herself, I wouldn't be too surprised if she popped back up as part of a different team. Probably never going to happen though.

    Ricky vs Xian starts up just after one hour & nine minutes.
    I'd seen him do it before and heard the hair explanation, but it seemed worse than usual during this match which prompted me to ask.

    I'd like to see more headstompage - the threat of an instant overhead does huge things.
    But wiping the floor with Xian is quite a feat. Huge improvements for a player that didn't particularly dominate brackets in IV.

    the hardest part is actually the fact that the timing isn't instant (like instant air teleport), but instead slightly delayed (there's a minimum height restriction, I guess?).
    so if you do the normal motion of 2369 + k you'll get a jumping kick unless you delay the kick input slightly

    Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

    I'll have to try it but that sounds weird as hell.

    I wonder if that's why I'm so inconsistent with dhalsim's instant air teleport. I'm dumb, you clearly just said the timing is different.

    Her ability to control the space normally occupied by anti air using j.mp into ex legs in air is really impressive. I think people are still sort of struggling with how to be aggressive in this game without having the option of an fadc. You see a lot of "fuck it just do it" stuff that will only work as long as the enemy presses buttons. On wakeup though, it sure seems like mash jab is a go-to strategy that seems to work pretty well because of how unsafe the pressure game can be. Just how many times did Marn catch someone using his armor on wakeup?

    Edit: I only really caught the second half of NorCal Regionals but I was a little disappointed at the character variety that saw use.

    Fixed.

    I was dicking around with it yesterday and didn't find it to be too difficult to time. I just put in 236, waited for the jump, then immediately 9+k. Left screen was decently on point for me while right screen needs a lot more consistent practice on clean inputs.

    I like Rainbow's new costume. Alex I'm not sold on but I missed SF3 entirely so I have no nostalgia for him. I'm not sure if I'll buy him. It depends on what else I can get for fight money I suppose.

    I am torn because that Randy Savage skin for Gief is fucking rad, but also no improvements at all to the option for female characters plus a stereotypical costume bordering on racist for Rashid.

    Aw well, don't have to buy those, I can just get the Gief skin. And use it FOREVER.

    That Gief costume is amazing and will be a day 1 purchase. All of the female outfits are awful and sexist though so they get the pass. Maybe one day Mika and Laura will have *shock* covered chests/butts.
