Isn't Guilty Gear Xrd his main game now.
Doesn't he play Elphelt.

He says she's still not anime lol

 

[Village]

remembered something fighting game related

Injustice 2 is being made

wonder, what that is going to be

 

[SloaneRisette]

wow, time flies

That was the year I first got into fighting games

Fuck, I feel old now

 

[notworksafe]

You first got into fighting games four years ago? That makes me feel old.

 

[alstein]

Everyone he faces should change their names to anime

Viscant's first round GG opponent is one of the best US Arcana players.

Blackule is an OG OG?

 

[smurfx]

when do '09ers become OGs

please don't say never

when old school sf players die of old age.

 

[Busaiku]

PR Rog winning Evo would be the most hype thing.
The only 09er in top 8 in 2009 to the last Street Fighter IV winner.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

when do '09ers become OGs

please don't say never

when their most wanted characters are actually based on genuine nostalgia and not reading wikipedia entries.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I can't wait to be an OG

 

[mbpm1]

SFV players in 2018: Bring back El Fuerte! Man, that character was so underrated.

 

[Clockw0rk]

when do '09ers become OGs

please don't say never

never

being OG is overrated tho

 

[Anne]

It's funny being a 12er and knowing more about OG games than OGs.

 

[Professor Beef]

For the good of Sm4sh, I'm just going to have to send Zero to Loser's.

I wish high level viper would come back

high level viper never existed

never

being OG is overrated tho

all those back problems, oof

 

[XenoRaven]

I'm not sure what the qualifications are to determine what year "er" you are. Is it the year you took an interest in fighting games in general, or the year you took an interest in the FGC?

 

[jerry1594]

I think those things almost go hand in hand.

 

[call_kotaku]

I've had an SRK account since 2003, but have never been competitive in a single fighting game

Basically I'm like every other OG

 

[Tik-Tok]

I'm not sure what the qualifications are to determine what year "er" you are. Is it the year you took an interest in fighting games in general, or the year you took an interest in the FGC?

The year you started competing. If you don't compete you're a never'er. You therefore get no votes and no voice.

 

[SloaneRisette]

If you don't you're gonna be the new Smedwicks

It's like being the Jerry of FGW

 

[MrDaravon]

a lot of people really don't get that going last at evo is not a good thing for both the hype levels and the viewers

people are tired and burnt out by the time the last game rolls around and this was really reflected in the last 2 years

This. I don't care about the order myself, but I think either SF or Smash would get as many or more viewers as Marvel in it's timeslot. I've only watched all of top 8 SF I think once in the last 4 years; unless you're up late on the west coast or in Japan you're totally fucked, especially with it being on a Sunday night (Tekken players have to go to work).

It probably works better for people attending live, but sucks for most people watching it online.

 

[oneida]

I'm not sure what the qualifications are to determine what year "er" you are. Is it the year you took an interest in fighting games in general, or the year you took an interest in the FGC?

it's when you started playing competitively
otherwise half of everyone would be a '91er and the other half would a be a soul calibur 2'er

 

[XenoRaven]

I think those things almost go hand in hand.

Not really. I've been playing fighting games since I was a kid, but I didn't care about tournaments or anything until 09.

 

[Anne]

I've had an SRK account since 2003, but have never been competitive in a single fighting game

was that before or after Stuido Traffic

 

[XenoRaven]

I'm not only a never'er. I'm a never will be'er.

 

[Lostconfused]

What if you don't play capcom games.

 

[enzo_gt]

when their most wanted characters are actually based on genuine nostalgia and not reading wikipedia entries.

This is unfair IMO.

Spoiler

Try Street Fighter or Capcom wikias

I'm not sure what the qualifications are to determine what year "er" you are. Is it the year you took an interest in fighting games in general, or the year you took an interest in the FGC?

I thought it was the first tournament you went to. So I'm a '12er I guess.

 

[jerry1594]

Not really. I've been playing fighting games since I was a kid, but I didn't care about tournaments or anything until 09.

Well with the competition clause thrown in that's reasonable.

 

[Bizazedo]

What if you don't play capcom games.

What if you mostly play Capcom games, but consider Virtua Fighter 2 one of the greatest fighting games ever?

 

[Professor Beef]

The year you started competing. If you don't compete you're a never'er. You therefore get no votes and no voice.

Damn, I'm an 08'er even though I've been playing fighting games since SF2 at 7-11.

 

[oneida]

man VF2 isn't even in the top 3 VF games imo

altho i do really like it

 

[petran79]

otherwise half of everyone would be a '91er and the other half would a be a soul calibur 2'er

there were competitions back then too, though they did not have the world wide appeal like today.

 

[Nyoro SF]

What if your first fighting game was TvC...?

 

[Professor Beef]

What if your first fighting game was TvC...?

You're one of those casual Wii fans, then.

 

[Infinite]

What if your first fighting game was TvC...?

Japanese TVC or North American one with the new characters?

 

[call_kotaku]

was that before or after Stuido Traffic

I think before, I didn't really pay attention, I just wanted some links to mame roms

Spoiler

and that saidago doujin with Karin

 

[NEO0MJ]

when their most wanted characters are actually based on genuine nostalgia and not reading wikipedia entries.

Maybe they played SFA3? I think a good number of people were able to catch that one, even if they didn't take it serious. That's where I learned to love Gen and Rose <3

 

[sixteen-bit]

what if your first fighting game was lethal league?

kappa

 

[Holy Order Sol]

It's funny being a 12er and knowing more about OG games than OGs.

Many OGs take pride in not actually knowing shit

"playing by feel"

"instinct"

FOH

 

[XenoRaven]

My first fighting game was some version of SF2 on Sega Genesis and I played with a 3 button pad because that's all I had.

 

[SloaneRisette]

What if your first fighting game was TvC...?

High five that was my first traditional fighting game too

 

[oneida]

Mine was VF2 and i played with a 6 button pad but only needed 3

 

[smurfx]

if we're talking first fighting games then i guess mine would be the vs mode in double dragon for the nes.

 

[Anne]

I mean it's mostly old dudes, old dudes and anti-intellectualism go hand in hand in America. I was asking a GG OG about the OSes in Xrd and I got a "I'm not learning any option select garbage" back.

Actually a lot of new players do that too but it tends to be not as bad. A lot of them listen to the older player nonsense and just assume it to be true.

 

[Busaiku]

Nothing irks me more than when people say "the US version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom".
Ultimate All Stars came out in Japan like the same day.

 

[XenoRaven]

if we're talking first fighting games then i guess mine would be the vs mode in double dragon for the nes.

OK I take it back. This is my first fighting game.

 

[Perro]

There's nothing like being a kid and playing KI in a snes emulator for PC and only button mashing with Cinder. -> -> HP or playing Tekken 3, picking Eddy and only press XO till you win. You can't get more OG than that!

 

[Nyoro SF]

You're one of those casual Wii fans, then.

Please understand.

Japanese TVC or North American one with the new characters?

Japanese import! I actually played it in arcade first at University Pinball in Philadelphia.

High five that was my first traditional fighting game too

*high fives*
*smedwicks armors through it and baroques*

But yeah TvC was so much fun to play, even though I didn't really understand what I was doing. It was the first fighting game where I actually studied moves and combos and made me go to my first tournament.
