    EVO Update: Top 8

    Wild Shining Decopon appears! Shen Chan used IGDR! But, it failed! What? Shining Decopon is evolving into Gloomy Decopon! Shen Chan unable to capture Gloomy Decopon

    EVO Update: Top 8

    So glad to see Decopon win. I remember watching a lot of his online videos to learn how to play Tira. But I didn't expect him to be this good as most of his videos were against (seemingly) scrubbier online players. Can't believe he pulled off Tira's crazy 3AA wall combo, which is a bit...

    Guest Speech: Bibulus on Commentary

    Just wanted to add that the replay feature in the last MLG was great, and hope it's an ongoing thing. That's something sorely missing in even spooky's streams, and it definitely benefits the fast-paced nature of fighting games. Gives you more time to analyze some of the mind-games that went...

    Soul Calibur V Sales Discussion

    I'm not sure I'd dismiss it so quickly as a typo. I mean Tales of Xillia sold 770k copies in Japan only according to that chart. Not too hard to believe that SCV would sell 690k in both Japan and Europe, considering that Soul Calibur is somewhat popular (for a fighter) in Europe. I think if...

    Soul Calibur V Sales Discussion

    No, I agree. I meant that at first glance, it appears to have underperformed, but for whatever reason, Namco didn't include US sales. Not sure why. Incomplete data?

    Soul Calibur V Sales Discussion

    Bumping this cause Namco released official #'s: SCV appears to have underperformed, but for whatever reason, this chart doesn't include US sales of SCV.

    Mood Changes Data 1.02

    Awesome work. This convinced me that using JS 4K after JS 1K was a waste of health.

    Tira General Discussion / Q&A

    Try using Updraft moves more to get in. Astaroth doesn't really have an anti-air (can't believe I'm using that term for a 3d fighter) like Natsu or Ivy, plus if he uses 1AA, UD B will punish him badly. That alone should deter him from constantly abusing 1AA to keep you out of range.

    Tira General Discussion / Q&A

    Awesome, also noticed that B+K isn't always useful on some telegraphed strings, solely because of pushback or range that makes the AT whiff. Like Nightmare's 22A.A

    How to be jolly in Jolly

    Hrmm, she does still have FC A in Jolly, so a workaround is using iFC A to interrupt. Although the extra frame or so to go to FC might not make it much quicker than just 2B or 2K.

    Tira General Discussion / Q&A

    Tira doesn't really have much mixup tools as her lows are generally slow and reactable, and she has only a handful of multi-hit strings in GS. Plus, she has no stance shenanigans. For the most part, if you're having trouble opening up a defensive opponent, the best tools are simply the staple...

    How to be jolly in Jolly

    I'm going to have to use this move more. I pretty much only use it as part of combos. Are you saying that it's guaranteed transition to GS on a CH?

    How to be jolly in Jolly

    Tools I use the most: 22_88B - I think I abuse this too much. The fact that this is only -3 on block catches a lot of other players off-guard, and can often be followed by 66A.A or other typically unsafe moves with tech-crouch properties to catch their step or counterattack. I've even had a...

    Yoshimitsu stance shenenigans & transitions

    Hrmm, saw no one mention it, but I really like Deathcopter right into DGF, especially when you're trying to close in. Catch a lot of people stepping the deathcopter, and eating a DGF A or K instead.

    Hate Speech: The Hype Train Derails; Countless Injured...

    IMO, there's two types of hype, in all sports. There's that comeback factor or hype that's simply inherent in the game. Whether that's MvC3's X-Factor, a game-tying 3 in basketball, or that final minute touchdown drive in football, people can get excited over these even if they have no...
