Smash.gg has now created a fantasy draft manager where you can create your own fantasy draft (for Melee). Could be a fun thing to do if you want to see how off and/or spot-on your predictions come out compared to others. You can also win something if you reach the top 20.
 
Cross posting from the Evo thread - for those of us heading to the desert.

Tom Cannon just posted the guidebook for the event.

It's pretty much only beneficial for people attending. But it does include the panels that will be on-site.

Friday
12pm - Bandai Namco Panel
2pm - Killer Instinct Panel

Saturday
12pm - Indie Showcase Roundtable
2pm - Capcom Panel
4pm - Maximilian Dood Panel

I don't think these will be streamed.
 
3SO ruffles feathers because it's based off the PS2 version of 3S but DSR is well liked afaik. I liked the character trials in DSR.
Super late but 3SO is fine. Some like fightcade cause it's free, some like 3so cause connections are typically better and more consistent. xbl 3so though. psn players are generally bad/ragequitters, and have awful connections. Darkstalkers Resurrection is also based on the japan only ps2 port, but I'm guessing it's more faithful since that port was emulated. xbl Resurrection is completely dead, but on psn you'll find a small community, and japanese players are pretty cool, so if you meet some somewhere else they might add you and play, given your connection isn't cheeks.

3SO is fine as long as you don't go in expecting it to be the arcade version as shown by this comparison that was posted here last week. There might be dozens of tiny differences between the arcade version and the 3SO/PS2 version and thanks to Capcom, we'll never know them.

connection to japan in Darkstalkers is good?

Not good-good, but it can be acceptable, unless you live in alaska or hawaii. Some friendly japanese players here and there will play westerners on fightcade, and really late at night some japanese player might hop into your 3so lobby and play a few (usually laggy) matches, so i imagine the courtesy might be extended on ps3 darkstalkers, especially if you know them a bit.

eh, nobody is expecting cps3 quality from anywhere, be it ggpo or oe. hell, most players probably haven't played on arcade hardware. the inaccuracies won't matter to the vast majority of players.

I would consider game speed difference and input lag as inaccuracies, which ggpo and 3sOE suffers from but 3sOE also have game play differences too.

But you're right the vast majority of 3s player won't care about those.
 
SFxTK did not look different from what was pushed out.

when did sfxt look great

Before release, everybody was excited for sfxt and it was going to be the "big thing". Then the drama started and people played it and we know the rest.

But it was actually a really hyped game. Remember the first glorious week? Remember the WNF where they played teams and it was the "best thing ever?"

SF5 is still not past that point. It has a long time to go.
 
Been playing 2k2um and Yata, it's fun <3
King's st.C is an 98 refugee, dear god that button is ridiculous.
Anyone know if there's an actual Yata tier list somewhere?


People have for a long time due to security exploits + really annoying installs.

After this weekend I'm uninstalling it. Need it for EVO unfortunately.

No you don't. Livestreamer + VLC or Media Player Classic works just fine and uses less resources. If you need twitch chat, you can chat via IRC.

Cool kids use the command line.

Agreed :P

Street Fighter should steal ALOT of things from KOF...

I'd love to see KOF13 remade with SF characters, maybe drop HD combos and see if it would suddenly sell gangbusters.
Can you access vods in livestreamer?

Yes you can. You can download them too:
livestreamer -o EVOSFTop8.mp4 www.twitch.tv/channelname best

And it'll download it into a file with that name.
http://download.twitchapps.com/ also works.

3SO ruffles feathers because it's based off the PS2 version of 3S but DSR is well liked afaik. I liked the character trials in DSR.

3SOE is still the best 3S port out there AFAIK. I've heard online play ranked as OE 360 > Fightcade > OE PS3.

Offline, both have almost identical input lag to the arcade board, but the feeling is still a bit different from what I've heard.

3SOE input lag is really, really close to CPS3 on PS3 and not horribly far off on 360 either:

SRK thread said:

I don't follow competitive smash much and for some reason this news went completed by me. Can someone please explain why anyone thought it would be a good idea to allow customs on Smash 4 at EVO? It seems the majority of players are against it and it's going to encourage some broken stuff.

Because it's cool

I have heard that the Dreamcast conversion, while still inaccurate, is more similar to the arcade release of 3S than 3SO (input lag aside I guess, given the SRK statistics you've posted)

even if true, I agree that 3SO is more than fine enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong bus isn't the DC ver based on an arcade revision that no one likes (Urient unblockables removed, etc.)?
 
I'm not surprised to hear that the new Terminator film is shit but fuck, man, the first two movies are unreasonably good. How was the TV show that ran a few years ago?
