It's very different. There's a button for lights, one for hards, one for throws, and one for specials. I didn't fully understand what was happening exactly, but the right stick lets you use weird items, and you need to use a super to actually win the match. It doesn't seem like it will be viable as a competitive fighting game, but I guess we'll see.

Got to play some SC6. Seems awesome, I'm super excited. Feels good to play and the game is gorgeous. I also got to play some SNK Heroines, and boy is it something.

DAMN, Punk just got upset by an Alex player and the crowd went nuts. That was sick.

flubbin, that guy you played your first SFV match against made it out of the pool, so uh, he probably was pretty good at the game.

Yeah, he was definitely solid. I would have lost to him no matter what, I think. He was a really nice guy, so I'm hoping he does well. The second dude I played I feel like I could have possibly beaten if I had practiced more SFV in preparation for EVO.

Alright, I'm out. Went 3-2, so that's not bad. Was eliminated by a guy who I sent to losers, but he apparently plays a ton of characters so he switched it up on me. No matches on stream. Harada was in the pool next to me so I got a picture with him, so that was awesome.

Venue opens to the public at 7:45 am

Yeah, but that's only if you already picked up your badge on Thursday. A ton of people don't do that, which is why the line us so crazy.

I went 0-2, lost to a Mika. But I actually won a round, so it wasn't a total blowup lol. My Tekken pool is at 4, and that's the one I actually care about.

I played Ed vs a really good Sakura. I don't even have Sakura downloaded so I don't know what she even does. Not that it really mattered, I would have gotten bodied anyway. My antiairs were horrid and I dropped a lot of combos.

Things are running pretty behind, I think. There was still an enormous line of people waiting to check in at 8 when pools were supposed to be starting. They just finally gave the announcement to start DQing people who aren't there for their pools.
---

It's not so impossible!

Yeah, same pools.

Got blasted in my first match, as expected. Waiting for my match in losers but this poor man working my pool has no idea how to run a bracket, so I think I'm going to be standing around for awhile.

30 minutes until showtime

Bleh, kind of want to go out and have some fun tonight but I've had a headache most of the night. Hopefully it doesn't persist into tomorrow.

Bump. Heading out early tomorrow morning.

Thanks for all the advice, Nee. I'm taking notes, for sure.

Also a trailer just dropped for a new character in DOA6, if anyone's into that kind of thing:

Speaking of Nina, if Anna gets announced on Sunday as a part of Tekken's second season pass, I'll probably be crying literal tears of joy in the arena. It's unlikely, but not impossible!

Don't forget to introduce yourself to people when sitting down for casuals, and see what crazy regions of the world people are from that you play against!

I'm sure I'll be an awkward bundle of nerves, but I'll try my best to do this!

Yeah congrats Nee! My wife and i are still trying to get pregnant with our first so im super jealous :)

.

Which characters are you using in each game, flubbin?

I'm a Nina main in Tekken, through and through. She's a pretty uncommon character, so that is definitely an advantage for me since most people are unfamiliar with the match-up. The downside is that she has a high execution barrier, so I'm liable to fuck up a lot. I don't think I'm gonna try to go for the optimal max damage combos in tournament, but we'll see. I can only really hit them consistently like 50% of the time on 1P side and barely at all on 2P side despite many hours of practice.

I just played some SFV tonight for the first time in ages so that I could figure out which character I wanted to play in tournament. I played Karin at launch and she's probably my most solid character, but I played Ed right before I stopped playing in Season 2 and I think he's more fun to play. I'm fully expecting to go 0-2, so I think I'll just rock Ed.

Bump. Already feeling a bit anxious lol

Oh that's awesome Nee, congratulations! Hope that she's happy and healthy. Sounds like a perfect weekend to watch EVO.

I just double checked my pools, and it looks like they got shifted around a bit. I don't think Sako was originally in my SFV pool, and I don't remember KBR being in my Tekken pool either. My brother was originally in a pool with Super Akuma for Tekken, but he texted me this morning that now he's in a pool with Kkokkoma, which is definitely way worse. My brother absolutely haaaaaates Kazumi haha.

Kora, you always make me laugh haha.
---

It's not so impossible!

I played a long set of Tekken against my brother last night and in one game I pulled off probably the sickest combo I've ever done in my whole life and I popped off like crazy. If I do anything half that sick at EVO, I'll be content.
---

It's not so impossible!

Imma actually keep it bumped this time
---

It's not so impossible!

Yeah, in the last topic Nee said he wasn't attending EVO this year. It didn't sound like anybody else was going to be able to make it either, unfortunately. As B8's sole representative, I'll do my best to make y'all proud haha.

Tellius has plenty of swordmasters that I prefer to Mia (like Lucia and Stefan)

I just replayed Radiant Dawn recently and Lucia stood out to me as a character that doesn't get as much love as she should. She's super cool. I should have nominated her for this but she totally slipped my mind.

My Tekken pool is E602 and my SFV pool is A110.

Qudans is in my Tekken pool, and he's easily one of the best Tekken players in the world, so that's definitely not going to happen. I don't recognize anyone in my SFV pool, but I've barely touched the game since Season 2, so it would be a minor miracle if I were to do anything other than 0-2. My goal is to win at least one game in Tekken. Let's keep our fingers crossed for that!

Ahhhhh, it's so close I can taste it. I'm super stoked/nervous. Is Balrog Ball still a thing they have at EVO? Cuz I want to play some goddamn Balrog Ball.

I know you like Patroklos and ZWEI, but why not try picking up a character that you know is for sure a lock for SCVI?
---

It's not so impossible!

I've been watching this stream, and man, the game looks really fun. I'm super excited for it. There's a ton of characters I'm interested in playing.
---

It's not so impossible!

I'm watching that stream too! Aris is one of my favorite streamers.
---

It's not so impossible!

Yeah, that's a bummer. It's super unlikely that your characters are gonna be in at all. I'd say even if you're playing Patroklos or ZWEI to brush up on your skills, it'll still help to prepare you for SCVI. I feel like having a solid grasp on movement and system mechanics will already give you a leg up on the competition.

Overall though, I'm really excited for SCVI. I think there's probably gonna be a playable build at EVO next week, so I'm going to try to play a few games if I get a chance.
