Fuudo's neutral and hit confirms into EX peach are ridiculous tho. I don't mind a troll character; Mika is driving freshly loaded trucks out of the old El Fuerte salt mine and it's kinda fun to see the vortex when it's not you. fuck her tho.

the story for me was Momochi rising into top SFV player discussion. you saw signs at Red Bull Kumite, but looks like he's figured out how to play Ken now. with all the input lag talk, Momochi may have been most affected at first -- he was the footsie god in IV -- but he's adapted.

Ken is top tier when he his nailing all his hit confirms into run/V-trigger. the SoCal "trinity" does that, but they're more yolo with it and sometimes just throwing buttons out there. Momo showed he can play the spacing game and get crazy with "Ken stuff" as well -- that counter hit low forward into max distance CA to win it was brilliance.
