Street Fighter 5 - Hundred hand slap

I’m up for it!

my CFN is deliriumxtrigger

Cool Lounge will be up at 7:30pm EST.

Character Select: On
First to 2 (we’ll drop to 1 if it gets crowded)
Password: 1212

I’ll try to send invites too, bit this way people can join even if I’m in a game (I’m also less likely to accidentally dismantle the lounge this way).

Trying to buy the game off Fanatical but the now the game won’t activate in Canada. Hopefully it will get resolved soon so I can join you guys and gals.

I forgot that I have plans tonight. I can play around 9:30 EST if you’re still playing, or pretty much any other day this week.

No worries. If the lounge is up hop in for a few!

I don’t think I can make it to a lounge this week, sorry. My media consumption time is already reserved for other things. But I’m itching to play so who knows.

It seems like a lot of Ken is based off hit-confirming that b.MP, which looks really hard to me.

Well, I guess I’m going to head off to the boardgame night then since lounge looks like a bust.

I’ll probably hop on around 9:30 once I get back though @delirium. I’ll ping you if I see you on.

Can I join the QT3 SF group? CFN is Jabjabuppercut. Just got the game a few hours ago.

GG @delirium. BTW play some ranked, Rookie my ass! ;)

GGs…you played well! Those matches were really close.

I think I got as far as low silver when I used to play on PS4. I picked up the PC version of AE a few days ago and am just getting my bearings again. I’ll jump into ranked as soon as I figure out who I want to play. Want to play Menet really bad, but she’s tricky and requires strong defense and execution. I was having fun with Alex, who I dabbled with when he first came out. His normal attacks are so good. Those are the characters that I gravitate to since my execution sucks.

That’s actually a really good exercise for honing your hit confirming skills in training mode. I set Ken to block randomly and it seems this is at the outer limit of what I’m capable of reacting to right now. I really have to focus to confirm it consistently, but I think I can definitely do it if I work on it a little bit.

Ha, I knew you were a secret silver! :)

Those were pretty close, but you definitely have some better timing than I do. I was just pleased I got out the s.MK > l.Tatsu > h.DP combo that I have been practicing once. It starts with your first time. :)

My AA with Akuma is garbage though. If I don’t have the to DP I need to unlearn crouch fierce and learn b.HP. That might take a little bit.

Menat seems cool, but just so tricky, I thought you did well with her though. I’m not sure how Alex is these days, but I bet @Alstein Could give you some pointers there.

@Hereafter I added you to my favorites list so feel free to hit me up if you see me on. My CFN is merryprankster, same as my PSN and forum.

Yay, I did all of Necalli’s vol 1 trials! I’ve never actually finished all 10 for a single character before. Woo!

Now, off to never using any of those combos and forgetting them before I wake up tomorrow…

Thanks for the reminder about the trials. I bet I’d be able to do those now.

GGs @Hereafter. Your Guile shut me down pretty good. Feels like a tough matchup for Ken but I’m sure there’s something I could have been doing differently. Well played!

I added everyone on CFN. I might be on tomorrow. Sounds like we have a good mix of players at the lower ranks.

I read a ton of basic tech for Ken last night. Now I can learn how to actually play this game.

“Blockstring” was the term I couldn’t think of. I wanted to know Ken’s blockstrings. I wrote a few down and I’ll confirm they still work.

I might switch to VT2. It seems like an easy combo damage boost and provides a larger window for follow-ups, including critical art. I always forget to use both V-Trigger and CA so that seems like an easy way to make use of both of them.

Thanks @delirium. You were playing great! After you left I ended up getting a 10 win streak on Ranked lol. You’re now my new training partner like it or not :)

@timjames. Can’t wait to play you. Just like the old Summoner War and Neuroshima Hex day?

Oh man, we played those back in the day? Was this always your username? I have a bad memory, so thanks for bringing it up!

Yeah, I think you were the second person to play me after Dave broke my heart (stupid dice rolls).

I had hereafter -> my real name and now hereafter due to a situation change for me.
