I loved that Itabashi/Krone fight, best I've seen so far.

get on salty bets! it makes stream monstering so much much fun

Drunzer · 12 Jul 2013 at 22:31

Wow, Online Tony just destroyed Chris G. I wouldn't have been surprised by this last year but Chris has really been on a tear on AE lately.

MofoKilla · 12 Jul 2013 at 23:13

has poongko been on yet

Drunzer · 12 Jul 2013 at 23:40

Not yet, AE pools has moved to stream 3 now.

Phatjayunoi · 13 Jul 2013 at 04:40

Oh my god the upcoming semi-finals matches are stacked.

Didn't catch all of what will be coming, but Inflitration vs Kazunoko, Xiao Hai vs Sakonoko, Gamerbee vs Uryo, look to be really interesting.

EDIT - Sako repping his Topanga winning Evil Ryu! :eek:

And MurderFace going for that Demon pose shennaigan again.

Drunzer · 13 Jul 2013 at 15:43

Yeah Tokido was on another level last night, top 8 looks great for Sunday. Marvel and Injustice today =)

Phatjayunoi · 13 Jul 2013 at 18:37

Daigo vs Inflitration losers bracket.

Xian vs Sako runback from Topanga.

Tokido vs PrRog, can he take out another Akuma....hmmmmm.

But man, whoever set up those brackets, sheesh!

Drunzer · 13 Jul 2013 at 21:45

Also 6 new stages and new costumes designed by UDON.

Those Ken buffs are serious =) I've been using him and Yun a lot lately to stop myself getting bored. Really thought Oni would've gotten more buffs, that's kind of pathetic actually.

Phatjayunoi · 13 Jul 2013 at 21:46

SFxT characters backported to SFIV. Capcom you cheapskates.

5th character, hmmmm, another variant character, Evil Gouken! (Reuses Oni assets)

I would like to see a Rival Schools character though.

Drunzer · 13 Jul 2013 at 21:47

I actually think it's going to be Asura, they already kind of had the Street Fighter cross over into that game.

Phatjayunoi · 13 Jul 2013 at 22:07

It would be funny, but also pretty stupid really.

Out of place special characters should be kept away if other fighting games are to go by.

Drunzer · 13 Jul 2013 at 22:20

I'm not a fan of it myself but if history has proven anything it's that it works, take MK9 for example Freddy Krueger was the most downloaded DLC character for that game. Haven't seen figures for Injustice yet but I'm fairly confident in saying Scorpion will probably be the most downloaded DLC for that game too.

R088ieS86 · 13 Jul 2013 at 22:30

Cody, Haggar and Guy were from Final Fight and brought into the SF series in Alpha.
They work ok.
I hope that it will be someone big like Gouken & Akuma's sensei or someone at least story related.

***Combofeind confirmed that vanilla's fireball unblockable fix Is the cause for the unblockables in present sf4.

Goutetsu would be really cool.

just Scott · 13 Jul 2013 at 23:26

not sure what to think about the Ibuki changes. Looks like they're trying to make her more solid and footsie based.

Phatjayunoi · 13 Jul 2013 at 23:43

The Final Fight characters at least worked sensibly since they can fit into that SF/Capcom structured world.

Asura is a frigging God and to be lowered down to SF levels, not really that fitting for him either. That's what I'm getting at. Think Soulcalibur IV and the Star Wars characters as another example.

If it's Goutetsu, then that's very reminiscent of Tekken's nonsense too i.e. Jinpachi.

Finally the right changes I always wanted with Chun-Li, but I feel it's all a little late.

Phatjayunoi · 14 Jul 2013 at 02:52

Well, Eita might be a fail at SFIV during EVO, but for UMvC3, he's looking pretty damn strong.

EDIT - Dunno where he is at the moment but looks like Tokido, Kazunoko and the favourite of the Japanese, Nemo are out.
