Dee Jay looks like lots of fun, if a bit more honest compared to others...

He looks pretty good in this. Will win EVO for sure.

Dude...

EVERYONE who doesn't like Capcom games is a second class citizen.
Click to expand...

I hate to admit it but Dahbomb is right. I love playing Capcom games but since I've moved to Killer Instinct, it's a very different level of spotlight given.

That being said, who gives a fuck. Just support yourself, friends, fellow players and the game....and I'm a smash player where for over 10 years we've been treated as non-existent.
 
If the players in smaller communities stopped treating themselves like 2nd class citizens and actually put more into their games, maybe they'd be better off. I don't really go to many majors anymore. It's not because the games I play get a smaller spotlight, but because the players of the games don't really push themselves. It's cool if you just wanna go to see friends and have a good time, but there's a lot of other events I'd rather go to if that's the case.

Edit: That's kinda harsh, but eh. I still go to what I can (I'll be at NEC and maybe a couple in between, missed FR and will miss CEO due to major life changes) to support, especially locals and regionals. I'm just not keen on spending so much money to travel to not really get what I came for. I'm only harsh because I like this scene and see the potential in it, and a lot of it is just wasted. I want the core players to get stronger and make the games shine competitively, would go a ways in improving our image and getting more people involved.
 
Is there a reason my game updated to Ultra over night but the icon still says Super Street Fighter IV out of curiosity?

edit: and apparently still plays the SSF IV intro upon booting the game (all the Ultra characters and menu changes are there though.)

That's how it is when you using the DLC version. Want screen title change? Wait for disc.
 
So I've had ultra for a few minutes and I already found out how to do 50/50s with Sakura and maybe an unblock. The problem is you have to react to the technical on DWU which I think is impractical, but the set up and the DWU adjustment definitely works.

Edit: The unblockable definitely works, it's just whether or not it's practical to react to technical. you have to whiff a button within a 1-2 frame window and the technical pops up at the tail end of the dash. Dunno if practical, but there is a set where I can get an unblock whether they DWU or not.

You still doing that $3 gameshare thing or are all the spaces taken now? Realized I rather not pay the full $15 till when PC version of Ultra releases.

The account that I preordered is full. I can set another one up if you can find another person or two who's interested.

It is possible, look at Gentlemanthief in VF, a much smaller game in the US than most anime games. He managed to beat a few JPN top players and competed with Fuudo very well. It's doable.

If a VF player can do it, with fairly average online and a very tiny scene, Anime game players can do it, they have more resources.
 
Ok, was able to install Ultra on the 360 cabinet at work, and played an hour or so.
I suck at rekkas, and Hugo is crap but so. damn. fucking. fun!

It's going to be a pretty crappy and frustrating evening, knowing I'll have to wait for tomorrow to play it on PS3 here in Europe.
 
Story wise P4 isn't coming close to P3. I just made the big decision in P4 and everything before that was just the same thing over and over with different people.

Hopefully Ultra can keep my attention for the long run. Stopped playing after Super.

Not talking about one dude, talking about as a whole. We got a couple good players, but as a whole we're really subpar. Watching a top 8/16 and having to wonder if people will finish BnBs is not a good look. It's totally possible, just people aren't being realistic about where their skill level is at and they aren't pushing themselves.

Turns out the answer was: GCT! Glad I didn't stay up.

Famitsu leak, I'm guessing? Xrd cross-play, 1080p PS4
Click to expand...


Good shit, but what happens if the PS3 version has technical issues like a bad frame rate or whatever? How would that impact the PS4 opponent (if at all)?

---------------

On the subject of Persona 4, Adachi is a DLC character. Nice addition, there was no real
villain before (Shadow Labrys doesn't count).

-----------------

Now that Ultra has launched, are there any sites with move lists for the new characters? Should I just assume it's identical to SxTK?

What about the two Sho characters? And I don't see why all of the Shadow characters aren't counted as villains since that's their role.

Oh, I meant in terms of
villians from P3/P4 and I don't know much about Sho yet, so maybe he can be a new story villain

Anyway, I just wish people would stop blaming the aesthetic of games for why they don't do whatever is they feel like the game should be doing. The art is never the problem, no matter how bad or terrible it is.
Click to expand...

The art direction can absolutely be, and often is a big problem. Not the biggest necessarily.
But you can absolutely shoot yourself in the foot with art direction choice. Many devs do it.

Zissou said:
As a marvel player, I find the game very easy to follow visually. I imagine it's pretty difficult if you don't play it yourself though. 645 had some dragon ball analogy that was awesome explaining this phenomenon a while back, but I don't want to butcher it.
Click to expand...

You get used to anything, really. I can parse gamestates in MTG/Legacy with relative ease, but someone who doesn't play probably couldn't grok half of the shenanigans any Elves board is capable of.

Negaduck said:
If E3 can bring darkstalkers, and a new kof dream match. . .

This would probably be my favorite e3.

Darkstalkers (wild dream)

I don't want current Capcom making Darkstalkers.

Retro_ said:
Basically here a bunch of old men are labeling aesthetics they like as being for "normal people" and modern Japanese anime ones as niche without any real working knowledge of perspectives outside of their own about these aesthetics or their appeal/popularity.
Click to expand...

It's called understanding that my tastes and other peoples' tastes are niche in some things and stuff that just doesn't appeal to most people. It's why I talk of "normal people". Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with liking those niche things.
But people are going around saying you can't shoot yourself in the foot with art direction which is blatantly, absurdly false.

I play anime/poverty pretty much exclusively, chrissakes. I love KOF13 to bits, yet you might've read above how I ragged on some of it's style choices.

Retro_ said:
Im just sick of this mentality that anime players are 2nd class citizens or some shit in the FGC. I mean people shit on NRS games aesthetics, but at least their players aren't considered as being outside of the scope of "normal people" for liking it.
Click to expand...

To reiterate: Not meaning to say liking oddball stuff makes someone a subhuman or something.

MikeBreezy92 said:
Anime still isn't as mainstream as people think and it still has that "weird" cultural stigma. That's where it all comes from sans Brand regcognition

Also thee NRS besides a few of the old MK community hold outs is fairly new, the Anime community has pretty gained stereotype status at this point
Click to expand...

A lot of it just comes down to the style, really, not so much the medium. GG, SF are technically anime, yet feel very different from BB or AH3 or Persona.

It's the same kind of difference between something like, dunno, Seirei no Moribito, Ashita no Joe, Sangokushi, Juuni Kokki and the like and Haruhi, Lucky Star and the endless tides of formulaic moe those started. All are technically "anime" (or manga), but one feels a lot less weird than the other.

(Disclosure: I like Moribito, Sangokushi, Juuni Kokki, Haruhi and Lucky Star. Ashita no Joe never really grabbed me)

Sigmaah said:
Why we getting worked up over ppl not liking anime, anime games, and saying they get treated like shit or something?

Bruh.... if you like that shit, good for you and keep on liking it, stop worrying about what others think of it.

It's really not a big deal.

I like animu.

This ^

The financial sensibility of the product has little to do with whether you enjoy it. Play what you love, it's what I do at any rate.

Kumubou said:
And frankly, if I had to choose between playing LoL and playing UMvC3... I would pick LoL every time and it's not even close. If SF4 and UMvC3 were the only two fighting games available, I would quit the genre outright.

This. Though playing MOBAs seems pretty suspect still, as far as ideas go.
 
Parallax Scroll said:
isn't the first 3 hours of persona 4 nothing but clicking through dialogue boxes?
Click to expand...

Basically.

I like the game quite a bit and as always don't see what the big deal is if someone else doesn't. (well, I kind of get the annoyance at that particular tweet because it was said in a shitty way, which no one likes to hear about their favorite things, but whatever, that's video game fans.)

Ah, interesting. I haven't really kept up on that. Will be interested to see how that plays out.
 
Won't be able to get my hands on Ultra until Wednesday night. Lame.

I was thinking of running a mini casual team tournament using that new KOF style mode this Friday. 6 teams, double elim. Any here would be up for something like that?

Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I'm not convinced that putting on higher level displays is really going to get that many players who weren't already interested in non-Capcom fighters to pick them up, especially if their local communities have small or nonexistent bases outside of those games. Maybe (in general) we just don't have the critical mass of player density and availability to really drive that in the States.

I'm a bad player, always have been, and I only really started going to tournaments when SF4 and BB came out, so I don't know what it was like in the bad old days before Youtube was constant, and before everyone went to hide in insular Facebook groups. So I don't know how people used to get that drive to improve. I just don't know how you get people to take up these games, take 'em seriously, and grind it out when lazy, half-practiced stuff is enough to coast along.
