Fighting Games Weekly | Jul 6-12 | Freuds Among Us

Smash WiiU's finals placement makes a lot more sense looking at the stream setup, and is actually quite good considering how much primary stream time it got. itsfuckingnothing.gif

The main stream time is nice but 12pm is still pretty bad in regards to timeframe. I really don't know why they can't move MKX winners to another stream WiiU to get the 8pm mainstage. They could put KI quarters/semis on main stage then. Or KI quarters, Xrd Semis on main stage.
 
There's a perfectly fine pad out there already. Hori FC4.

How is that holding up for you? I've had mine for maybe a month and it's still working great but I'm worried that the PCB will wear out within a year or two like the other Fighting Commanders.

That MKX pool at the end is completely bizarre, as is the decision to have pools spread over 3 streams.

Yeah, I'm also kind of concerned about where all of these pools are located as I know what the halls look like. It's a bit strange. If Evo1, 4 and 7 aren't in the same room, that'll be a lot of moving around for MKX players, for example.
 
Not only have they pinned thier future on Rockband like others have said, but the fate of Rockband even being successful is looking more and more dire imo as more details surface on the game.

I mean, there's no online, no breakneck speed mode, and no practice mode available. This is all on top of it being wayyyy too soon for a new instrument game.
I know this is kind of outside FGW, but those omissions are ridiculous. I can understand cutting online (expensive to do and probably underused), but no practice mode is wack and no hyperspeed is "preorder canceled!!!" levels of bullshit, given how important of a feature it is and how relatively easy it is to implement.

Holy shet. And i guess there's gonna be some sidestreams too? Like for animEVO.
There should be ~3 AnimeEVO streams (circumstances depending, don't take this as gospel) and a bunch of other side game streams. You could be very well looking at 15+ Evo streams.
 
MCZ stream usually hosts lots of side tournies too. They aren't doing Vsav though....Markman pls halp

I think you can contact MarkMan and see if they have default TE's at each Tekken 7 station like how they did for every preview station MadCatz put up at the majors across the country.

Thanks. I'll give him a tweet and find out.
 
Just realized I'm going to have to bring a PS4 stick for Tekken and a 360/PS3 stick for Vsav to EVO. fml

people get away with just doing dumb shit in SF4 sometimes. /salt
Doesn't this apply to majority, large portion, whatever appreciable made number of competitive games.

Short of say something like chess or checkers maybe. I don't even know about checkers, that stuff seems pretty wacky to me.
 
I just think the mostly nude costume is creatively bankrupt. Urien, Gil, Seth. Just...give them more style.

Urien looks cool in a suit.

i like the classical vibes you get from urien tho. dude looks like a greek sculpture

he'll have alt outfits for sure anyways. suit alt would be amazing. i can pretend im a banker.
 
SF3 pacing & Parry-esque anti-fireball moves for each character, ST damage/stun, Alpha normals (no close/far) and counters. 3s is definitely the game to play for practice.

Yeah, when I was watching the E3 tournament I kept wondering what Japan's 3rd Strike crowd was thinking of the game. KidA Seven then mentioned that Nuki was excited for it.
 
Yes but there's gonna be 3s characters in it too. So replaying 3s would help too right?

Every game is different. You could spend 20 hours with Urien in 3rd Strike's training mode and he could be an almost entirely different character in SF5. The 3rd Strike characters in SF4 were almost entirely different characters in how they actually played.
 
What's chun's parry esque move? I couldn't find one. Cammy too

She doesn't have one, her V-skill is that special hop which also acts as anti-air and lets her do air combos.

Cammy's V-skill is the spin knuckle thing, it has invincibility and can go through fireballs (can also cross up).
 
Cammy's is Spin Knuckle. Chun's is a short jump.
Short jump is useless against fireballs though. I think calling vskills a parry esque move is kinda incorrect, especially to claim it's for every character. They're all unique and not always limited to revolving around adapting to a fireball game.

Can it really be used as an AA? Seems like it will get stuffed or trade in most scenarios.
 
Stream Team for EVO
Evo 2015 will feature a grand total of eight streams, produced entirely by the wonderful folks at Team Spooky and IPLAYWINNER. To make sure they all go off without too many hitches, they’ve pulled together an all-star team comprised of Khaos Gaming’s Slash5150, Mando of IE Battlegrounds, Smash masterminds VGBootCamp, PandaxGaming, Callisto, and Spenser Cheung of Showdown.gg.
 
In my opinion the word "parry" has absolutely nothing to do with SFV. I think many people have drawn comparisons to SF3 that aren't really there.

Ryu's V-skill looks to me like command armor which can cancel into itself (and you lose life/don't lose life?). I would not use the word parry if it didn't have fast recovery, such as some parries in Tekken (Jin, Bryan, etc).
 
Wow at the all-start stream team.

I'm going to be repeating this a lot.

Need notables for any games other than Tekken 7, Capcom games, and Anime.
