That. Was. Incredible.
WOW!! Straight from my childhood.
Thanks for sharing!
I guess they needed something to do before SonicFox picked up his weekly paycheck.

Watching Infiltration play is torture lol, feel bad for Tokido. Spend all that time trying to find new ways inside.

Menat's design has me hopeful that Sagat will have a strong zoning game too. Before her, it was really just Guile. All the shotos have too much recovery on their fireballs, and a lot of the cast have good ways around projectiles.
Was a classic zoner vs. rush down matchup. Infiltration had the answers this time but I’m sure they’ll be seeing each other again.
I’m with @Crimson Fury though, glad to see Infiltration/Menat (a rarely seen character) win it.
I’m a fan of Tokido as well. He’ll be working on that matchup for sure so look forward to a future rematch.
I'm looking forward to giving him a try. I'm more naturally defensive than anything, but I play Cammy because she has easy execution and lots of options for punishing at pretty much any range on screen. I don't have the dexterity for Menat and can't really wrap my head around charge characters, so I'm curious to see what I think of Sagat.I never used him in SFIV, but he looked so badass in the opening cinematic that I’ll definitely be trying him out.
I naturally gravitate to the shotos since that’s mostly all I’ve ever played. Although Sagat’s gameplan is quite the departure from Ken’s, I’m still excited to try him. Too bad it’ll be awhile before we see him.
Incidentally, yesterday when I was getting trounced by people in ranked I ran into a Menat, pushed her into the corner, and tore her up. I don't have any reason to really pat myself on the back because that's what my character is supposed to do; but I felt reeeaaally satisfied when I pulled that off.
I thought one of the biggest complaints about SFV was the "lack of zoning?" Her and Guile should fix that problem.
Drunk Yipes.

Haha! I’ve seen that clip. I’m sure that’s probably a more accurate display of the Yipes vernacular.
Fireball nerfs were a given considering peoples complaints about them in SFIV. I’m betting Sagat will be a heavy FB zoner and could be an issue for shoto’s if his FB has 2 hits like Guiles. So far I feel like Menat and then Guile are really rough for Shoto’s. If Akuma (who has the best move set in SFV) has an insanely hard time getting in on Menat, what about Ryu/Ken? Lol good luck.
I looked on Eventhubs for a Ryu player and I don’t think I saw even 1. Really need AMKidd to start going to some tournaments.
I was really hoping they’d buff Ryu enough in Season 3, so Daigo would switch back.
Alas, it didn’t happen. He seems pretty comfortable with Guile.
I just don’t see Ryu fitting in the current meta all that well. The removal of the inv DP and throw shimmy really hurt the guy. Was keeping my fingers crossed for a E. Ryu VT2 but it never came. Not sure we’ll ever see Ryu in a Top 8 CPT Tour in a while. Akuma does everything Ryu does but 1000% better. That and the whole cast laughs at fireballs. It’s a sad state of affairs.
If E. Ryu ever does drop, I’ll be rotating between him and Ryu for sure though. And I’m really looking forward to G. Hopefully he’s a stud.
It hurt watching the kings of gief players play abigail
I did notice a few stick with him tho
