Just watching snake eyez, I'm fairly certain daigo is going to obliterate him if they meet at evo. Li Joe and Art both look stronger at the moment too.

Reading is hard, that's why it's called hard read

Looking quite balanced so far, I'd say. Too bad they balanced it by nerfing fun.

Remember that site shows balance statistics according to average scrub matches, not balance according to the characters being played at the highest level.

One good way was how Arcadia used to do it. I don't remember exactly how it went, but I think they did a survey among top tourney players where they would fill out a grid of matchups for their main char and how they think each goes(or something like that), then the characters were ranked according to how their aggregate matchups went vs. the rest of the cast.

The good way is that you also gather data by rank tier, not just everything into one pile. Then you can tell if one character is OP at a particular level of play and adjust accordingly.

Alright I'm 0-1. I picked ryu into a mirror because this was my first time using a stick and I preferred to play a really familiar character. I got wrecked but I got a few sweet anti-air srks in, so I feel good about it.

I actually kind of like this game more now that using V meter and the choice of wakeup option seems to have some amount of decision making involved and its pretty easy to pick up more than 1 character as well

I mean I already knew I was gonna get sick of it but I can only handle so many 1v1 lobbies and online scrubs etc before getting up and just being done

It probably doesn't help I played all four betas but I was hoping beyond some shadow of a doubt that the release version would grab me a bit more and I'm just kinda like "Eh" a week later.

It did make me want to play more GG, Melty Blood, BB, and Killer Instinct tho

Omg guys, churning the butter update: I won my second match so I'm 1-1! I found out I could use the ds4 I brought so I picked mika into a chun. They actually were really good, knew their combos, but I think they haven't played many mikas. I closed out the set 2-0 with a critical art finish. Feels absolutely incredible I have to admit, my nerves are still firing.

I entered as "Luis", because I didn't feel like spelling out my gamer tag in a loud bar.

I lost against a reeeeally solid Sim. I haven't played many Sims now that I think about it, but I just couldn't get in on him! I also learned a valuable lesson: button check thoroughly. Turned out my 3P and 3K buttons weren't bound 😞

I stayed around to play some casuals and it was a really great time. Any goons that are hesitant about going to their locals: just go! Doesn't matter if you're bad. Everyone was so nice and just happy to have more people around.

Another nice thing is I'm now like 20000x more motivated to get better.

That's awesome. From the stream it looks like there are some very strong Mika players there in the winners bracket. You might be able to get tips from them. I'm jealous you are that close to a big scene.

I have no idea what I am doing in almost any given situation.
Giogadi, you've inspired me. Whats WNF like to just show up to? Never been to a local but its just up the road (well, an hour) and I'm kinda tempted.

Any top tips Cams? When I get bopped out of the tournament 0-2 are there setups for casuals etc?
