Yeah, his argument is weird -- if it wasn't televised, (0) more people would be watching. Televised, in any form, means (>0) more people are now watching.

Unless they negotiated a really terrible deal, what is the downside to it?

And also in the last couple years tickets to watch Sunday finals live sold out pretty quickly. Now that it's in a separate venue many more people can watch in person.

I played some casual with balrog for an hour earlier today and basically got all super plats and one plat (I'm super plat).

Before hand I could get as many as 20 matches in a row against bronze to silvers, it was a loving bore.

He does nothing but screech and fail to accomplish anything except get his rear end beat and run away like a coward and kind of threaten a small child.

None of the villains in the story mode are threatening. Balrog gets his rear end kicked repeatedly and has to be saved by his telekinetic orphan, Vega beats up already injured women and still loses, Bison stands around the whole plot doing nothing and Necalli shows up and just leaves.

yeah and he's great while he's getting trashed

"Goofy, somewhat incompetent minion that is actually kind of really evil if you stop and think about it" is one of my favorite tropes. Also whoever plays him was having a ball and I can appreciate that.

Oh, I hate Juri's VA. She looks cool tho. So does Urien, although the banana hammock will be missed (i know it's confirmed to be in the game but it's gonna be a premium costume and it should be one of the default ones).

The best part of story mode was when Juri, Cammy and Decapre escape from Brazil on a motortricycle, only to reappear in England and Juri proclaimed "I think we lost them."

Yeah Juri, I should hope so...

Karin basically slapped everyone around, truly the best girl.

Like, story mode was bad compared to the MKs but it had its moments. It's weird who the focal characters were tho, I wasn't expecting it to be Rashid/FANG/Karin/Nash/Cammy.

I enjoyed story mode a heck of a lot more than in the latest fighting games I've played, like Guilty Gear (the character stories consist of 99% static character models talking, and the story itself has virtually no gameplay) or DoA5 (kind of like this one but much more boring). I tried Mortal Kombat but I just can't get into that game at all.

Also, Ibuki is pretty fun to play, but I'm not sure I'm fond of all the changes since 4.

Sometimes when I load up the challenges mode (PC) it begins playing in slow motion. Makes completing some of the challenges very easy.

Yeah, without the vortex, Ibuki players will actually have to think and use footsies.

Look, I've been playing the eventual Melty match and sometimes you just wanna cover all of their options and put them on a blender.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to recycle the "you don't have to think complaints" with Ibuki because she's looking like she'll be a reset rear end in a top hat like Mika, plus she gets bomb setups.

Oh, I actually kinda liked the feel of Juri and Urien, but they're completely different characters now. Getting two Aegis per V-Trigger is cool, although it seems like his V-Skill isn't gonna be that easy to use in neutral. By the way, what the gently caress does that do, I didn't bother playing him ten times to figure it out. Does it give the charge moves armor or juggle points?

I'm not liking jack-o as much as I thought I would. I mainly just don't mash enough. (like some things I see them do like go for hard knockdown, and then cr lp until I get reset and pushed AWAY from them and their houses, just confuses the gently caress out of me, and I can't tell if I'm a better or worse jack-o for not doing that "combo")

i can't wait for dizzy.

Bedman is still the love of my life tho so its all good.

Not great against any of the new dudes in particular, but still love him

Raven is just generally aggravating and boring to fight against.

Story mode Ken ranged from "oh, he looks human now" to "nevermind what the gently caress" one scene to another, I think it's the bad watercolor style. New characters looked fine. Well, most of them. Well, the playable ones.
