They arrive a few days, they get practice rooms to play one another and then during the day of interviews and other fun stuff (green screen, etc.) they practice and play.

So they get like maybe 1-2 days to practice and get comfortable. They usually know their opponents traditionally a week or so before they fly over here.

This is how it was before and perhaps media changed up the schedule; but typically they have ample time (in my opinion) to prep on a remote level minimum.

After watching vortex vs vortex in ESGN 3.2, delayed wake up looks like a really good idea.

Earlier I saw a video interview and Mike Ross said he saw a top 3 moment from fight nights in SF4 (maybe all of SF) and he wasn't specific. Anyone have the source on what he was talking about?

Also, I went to Alex's Arcade earlier as well and was surprised (haven't been there in years) to see they had expanded, had 2 SF4 cabs, and no more SF3 cab. And more surprisingly, there were 2 MVC2 cabs and like 15 dudes (basically everyone in there) playing KotH on them.

It was probably the xian alioune fight which featured a crazy comeback

this?

For what it's worth. The interview video was from a couple of days ago on March 4th, and he didn't specify when the match took place. (and their seasons were actually filmed at the same time so It's a bit confusing).

OT- Lilsusie sighting

TLDR (if you couldn't tell from the impossibly long URL): There's a chance that edition select will be added to endless lobbies. As much as I dislike the mode, I hope this happens, since there's no reason not to allow players to play what they prefer in private unranked games.

I hope they do that, can be really good training to play against the broken version of chars if done correctly

I don't see why they wouldn't. Just make it an option when you create the lobby, ala # of rounds and time limit, etc. I know I'll definitely have a lot of fun messing around with it, even though I hope it doesn't become standard for a long time lol

I can't wait to play Gen with his old s.mk. People are also going to be freeee to vanilla Goukens overhead divekick.

Akuma demon flip palm was also overhead. Way more scary than Gouken's imo

But I don't care, I'll just play AE Yun. Gonna be fun since I started playing Yun in v2012. I never played his AE god mode days.

I didn't thought I would be but I'm pretty fucking hype about the 5th character reveal. I have two hopes, it's a charge character, it's a zoner, or both. I suspect I'll be severely disappointed.

I mean, if people are starting to consider Ibuki's pet raccoon as a potential candidate for the fifth character it is probably for the better that they'll release the info soon.

I just hope she's good looking LOL (and not a raccoon pls)

I share those hopes. And that they give her Aegis Reflector.

Haha I just hope it's not a total wacky character that doesn't fit in. Like Roger or Mokujin, from Tekken. I hope it'll be a technical character, but not insanely fast, that still plays differently from the rest of the cast (eg. Dhalsim, Gen, Bison). He/She doesn't have to be too strong, that would only upset the current balance, but mid-tier is fine.

It will hopefully be Karin, and she'll hopefully be overpowered, because then we'll be listening to the best character theme all the time.

Zoner maybe, but doubtful as people usually tend to get more hyped about rushdown. A charge character is sadly probably completely out of the question as Capcom doesn't seem to make them anymore. But there's still hope I guess.
