Revelator came out today! It has a shitty name but it's real good!


Wiz revealed the EVO finals schedule!



People still give a shit about Marvel, and there's 15 hours of Melee right in the primetime slot!

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of Skullgirls! It's actually really fun now that it has interesting characters!


Are we still playing SFV? KIND OF? I DONT KNOW!

Just in case:

    SFV kicked me off of the servers like 4 times in a row before I could get a single ranked match in.

    But I did manage to get my ass kickled like 20-1 by Euphemon.

    Yay, Marvel. The game I still like to watch get played.

    Is Balrog in Street Fighter 5 yet? Will I get to see the ol' Rog in the Evo finals?

    Melee before SFV?

    Taking bets now on how late it will be. Over/under is at 1 hour.

    No. If you're lucky you might get Ibuki.

    Two hours forty-five minutes.

    crowd going nuts for... Jigglypuff vs Fox Grand Finals! We've never seen this before!

    Jiggs vs Fox would at least be over quickly.

    so is it true that revelator has no balance adjustments, just new characters and modes

    I think it's statistically Zangief's best matchup, but that's not saying much.

    I would guess any grappler ranks high because Cammy has to live in your face.

  • JasconiusJasconius sword criminal mad onlineRegistered User regular
    I've been playing the Revelator demo and I have no idea how anything in this game works but I'm immensely entertained, which is more than I can say for SFV, which always feels like work.

    Maybe I wont look up guilty gear things so I can just be happy in scrubby obscurity. How does Burst work? who cares! buttons!

    My Gamestop called to say that they weren't getting it in until Friday. But I just may be passing a Best Buy tomorrow.

    Maybe in 2 frame command throw land. Cammy eats Gief and Alex alive in V.

    the revelator tutorial is 100x better than SFVs

    but, it didn't tell me, and I'm sure I'll find out soon... can you do roman cancels while air juggling?

  • DaebunzDaebunz Registered User regular
    i'll probably get revelator next week

    not sure if I wanna stick to my tried and true sol cuz i hate change, or my boy from days of yore johnny

    So I hit Gold rank in SFV two days ago. Feels good. I have not exactly been grinding Ranked mode at all for a long while and decided to just hop on. Went from Silver to Gold with only two losses. On a 13 win streak as I type. I feel like i need to be put in my place so if anyone wants to do some friendly matches against my Mika or my Alex, I'm on PS4 and my CFN handle is ReadAbook.

    I have been very tempted at trying out GGXrd. I have never competitively played a GG game and it looks like this one may have some more lifespan to it.

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    I'm in the trap of thinking Xrd was fun, but before long my urge to get competitive and better at everything kicks in and Chicago is a damn hub for GG so I just get outclassed and frustrated

    Haven't actually looked at the characters, though. My other negative from Xrd was that the only characters I liked were Axel and Slayer, so...yea.

    even if Injustice 2 is exactly Injustice 1 without the clashes, I'm excited

    any variation that still includes those clashes and I'm real sad, though

    As long as you have the meter, and the move is making contact with the other character on hit or block, you'll do a red roman cancel.

    I loved the clash system

    Probably exhausting to spectators, but they didn't take longer than a super

    I loved the clashes for the unique dialogue between specific characters.

    yeah I was only ever a spectator for that game and it was deflating, not just because of the time they take but because of the way they killed momentum by pushing the characters away from one another. It's complete anti-hype, to me

    What was cool about it to you? Do you just like bursts or was the actual wager thing interesting enough when playing?

    I liked that it was a burst, but only available on last round, I liked the meter wagering a whoooooole bunch, and I dug the fact that they took a few seconds. Even if you lost or broke even, you bought a couple moments to recompose

  • DaebunzDaebunz Registered User regular
    yeah i didn't mind the clashes from a player standpoint

    I wouldnt be upset if they were gone in 2 either, so maybe indifferent is the better word
