If you think something does not belong in the thread, hit that "Report post" button and let the mods handle it. Actually, I should follow my own advice here.

You know what's even less useful than speculation? Complaining about speculation. If you have nothing to add to the discussion, don't feel obliged to post.

Not sure if it's a bug, but whenever I click on a thread with unread posts, it sends me to the very last post, not the first post I didn't read, like before. It's nice that there is a clear line that separates old and new posts, at least.

People always seem to forget that a loketest is not the only way to test games. Just because there are no loketests doesn't mean that characters aren't tested. Did Naoto and Hibiki have any glaring problems in the first loketest? Because they obviously weren't loketested before then.

Because it's only one person repeating it over and over again.

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but since this is the thread people discussed Xrd graphics in, here you go: http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2015/10/19/92199.html It's official: Jam's panties change every day. Oh, the wonders of modern technology.

Another improvement to the shoutbox that I'd like to see is removing the side-scrolling, as it might get tiresome to scroll back and forth when people post long sentences. Of course, not sure if it's even possible.

Are you seriously asking that question about the campaign that is literally built on the players' interest?

Says who?

Like I said, it's mostly because I don't live in the US, so all I can do is make assumptions based on what I read (and I mostly see netplay discussions, you know, being on the Internet and all) and the differences between the US and Japan that I know of (for instance, US are bigger than Japan, so, assuming that the top-level players are spread somewhat evenly, it might be easier to find decent competition online than to drive for hours just to meet another player of your level). Oh, and every time someone complains about the bad netcode in Japanese fighting games, there is always someone who says "Well it was made for the Japanese, and their connections feel like offline because the country is so small", which most people can't confirm or deny. Anyways, shine on.

Just to clarify: does Japan play with lag more often than the US? Because an outsider like me would think otherwise: that Japan mostly plays in arcades, while US mostly plays on PSN.

I wonder what's the reason behind that. Does she not get the increased hitstun while crouching? If so, I wonder how no one noticed it until now (or how the bug got through, for that matter).

I'll let SKD or someone else with more Izayoi experience give the proper answer, but in the meantime, you can check the old wiki page (written by SKD) for the summary of her shortcomings: http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=BBCP/Izayoi

Maybe because that's the entire point of her character?

There seems to be a bug with the search function: when I'm trying to search a specific topic and go to the second page of the search results, the topic restriction resets and it gives me the results from all over the forums. Also, switching between the pages seem to activate the 30-second timer each time, making it very difficult to browse through many posts quickly.

She's also received loads of buffs both in 1.1 and 2.0, including getting a proper DP, but sure, she was bottom-tier because people didn't figure her out, yeah

Believe it or not, but some Dustloop users are currently in Japan and can play the game in the arcades.

Nu and Mu were re-introduced along with Izayoi's debut, and she was considered one of the weakest characters at the time.

Her/his name is written in the arcade credits as Kum Haehyun.

Eh, it's Japan, their female characters don't differ too much between 5 and 25 years in facial structure.

It's either Kum (don't think we saw her female face yet, and those headphones resemble bells) or Bedman's sister (purple hair and eyes, headphones also resemble Bedman's screws). Or it's just Elphelt and the frame's coloring and overlay are messing with me

That's a good point, actually, and worth a separate thread, in my opinion. As it is now, a character subforum is only read by people who main that character (unless someone wants to dig up match-up info like in the post you linked, but most people stick to match-up threads instead). Case in point: https://twitter.com/SingerOfW/status/639513932760264704 But if we make a "How to fight X" thread, all sorts of people from the other character subforums are going to drop by, maybe even checking out other threads and sharing their findings before leaving. After all, just because I main Faust doesn't mean I have nothing to say about Ky, right?

When I try to report a post, the page keeps loading after I click "Send". I'm not sure if my report has actually reached the mods, so it should probably be fixed to at least let me know that.

Ah, fighting games, the genre that everyone plays for its graphics. As long as it runs well, who cares?
