I want to say Funko actually lost millions last year so maybe they're not as popular purchases as they are just pervasive in every store front. Even the local drug store has them here.


But it could've also been a real bad licensing deal or who knows what
i think its overproduction. when i went into gamestop a couple of weeks ago they were practically begging me to buy suicide squad and wwe funko pops on clearance. i think they offered to give me two for free if i signed up for their membership thing.

Aww. I wanted to see what they'd do for a figurine of Lisa Lisa compared to Rose but they don't have Jojo's funko pop.

As someone who's been through more Millia meatgrinders in the corner than I can possibly remember, yes, blocking is hard.

yes, i know that's not what he's talking about

Although actually as a 12 year old I didn't know charging with down back existed and wondered how you were possibly supposed to hit people with moves you could only do while walking backwards.

come back here
I’m jumping back over to learning Xrd after taking a year long Tekken sojourn. I missed the 2d and the badass soundtrack.

Really quick question for anyone who’s still playing it. Am I a terrible person for thinking Jack-O seems fun to try and pick up? I glossed over her originally because she seems gimmicky and simple as hell. Upon retrying all the characters, turns out I actually enjoy her moves beyond just the dumping idiots onscreen.

it was a MadCatz TES+ so I think they're also Sanwa? But these new buttons feel a lot better, like they have less "weight" to them if that makes any sense

Her entire story is an existential crisis is what she's supposed to do with her life now that she's getting bored by street fighting and she resolves that doing something normal like getting married or having kids is its own kind of strength

It's honestly one of the better character stories in SFV and the thing about getting pregnant was her getting awkward about the subject because she is Sakura

It's also probably a throwback to her MvsSF ending where an older sakura has her son find a picture of her beating the poo poo out of cyber akuma.

The one thing about SF5 that's objectively well done is lots of deep cuts to stuff from before 2000.

Yes

Alpha series takes place from 1987 to 1990, SFV in like 1995. She's a 24- or 25-year-old recent high school graduate, and that's assuming she was in her first year at the beginning of the Alpha series. Sakura Kasugano took at least eight years to finish high school.

I find myself repeating this pretty often, it's one of my favourite facts about the series
