If only they changed Ryu as much as Ibuki or Juri.

Do you mean design wise? Because gameplay wise he's pretty different.

Man I was super excited for Juri and now I am not very excited for her anymore :sigh: Hopefully she's not as bad as she looks in the video that's been posted (or hopefully she gets some changes before her final release); storing fireballs was one of the most interesting parts of her gameplay and it's lousy that they dropped that.

She still stores fireballs; there's even a little bar next to her EX meter that shows fireballs you stored.

EDIT: Here's a stream going over Juri if you wanna watch.

Same but I still don't want to download another 8 goddamn gigs. I'll wait until someone confirms matchmaking is better and/or the EVO population bump.

No worries :buddy:

EDIT: Apparently V-Trigger gives you limitless stored FBs and gatlings but each use eats up your bar, and Juri needs 3 bars of V-Gauge

On a basic gameplay level, I can pick Ryu and know that he has the same specials, that cr. mk cancels into fireball, things like that. I used to be pretty good at with vortex in SFIV but this Ibuki's moveset is vastly different from that incarnation and it's taking me a while to figure out a gameplay style that works for me.

To be real, nothing in evo was ever really watching besides the top 8 or top 4 of most games besides smash where the grandfinals alone take long enough that you'll probably be tired of seeing it if you're not a fan.

I can't really agree when USF4 Pools alone gave us stuff like Valle vs. Bonchan and Nuckledu vs Fuudo just last year. :black101:

Catherine has a real interesting premise story-wise that instead ends up being really lame.

EDIT: It's a really good game, but little bits about Cartherine's origins just felt like a letdown.

SectumSempra posted:

I want to say no; generally I think they pick fights in advance that have big names and just put them on stream.

Of course now it did just after I posted this but I can't tell what I did different.

If you're gonna give me a choice I'd rather watch the start and low tier Catherine players to be honest rather than the best because things can go hilariously wrong.

Evo was kind of dumb last year because they went from 2000 entrants to like top 8 in a day so you missed a ton of matches

I have no idea how they're going to handle 5000 people
