I should try FAZZ. Since I haven't been playing for ages and on conquest, I don't have access to some of the units like TV Heavy Arms and Deathscythe, sad panda.
Even laggy Gundam is more playable than other games, to a certain degree anyway.
I don't know. I don't know many JP players in Gundam, lol

Oh that makes sense. I thought that was going to be arcade only. But yeah the Wii U could desperately use that. I'm not going to buy it lol, but atleast it's there for others.

I think Injustice is also on Wii U. But no, Wii U will likely not get anymore fighting games.
Or games period. 
Regarding Pokken, I wouldn't be surprised if it was moved to NX, or multiplatform (Wii U/NX). Given how long Namco keeps their games in the arcade, NX will probably in stores before they get around to a home port.
Round 1's a Japanese chain, so, I'm guessing they saw the reaction to the Tekken 7 tests and such and used their connections to go for it.

Lol at least those are kind of like FB console DLC and are just different models with minor move set changes. Early Maxi Boost units that will never show up in console DLC are probably more interesting. So just play whatever seems cool I guess, and maybe AGE.
Huh I just realized they probably can't add any AGE units to the console because they don't have the license for that release.
Amnesia: Dude did you SEE THAT? It's so SCARY! AAAGGGHHH
Fighting games: It's just general people getting too heated and shouting in my ear. Several times my stick was slapped out of my lap. It's hilarious in hindsight but lord.
Yep. People are getting heated and passive-aggressive.
NYGX got a shoutout on ultrachen, thanks guys!!

Yeah, Namco is creating Tekken 7, Tekken X Street Fighter and Pokken, if development time of Tekken X Street Fighter is anything to go by.. yeah I'd also say a NX release of Pokken is a very high possibility.
Rest assured, Wii U is not my only platform lol. I probably would have killed myself if it was lol.
Yo Oneida...how I play defense in vf? I'm terrified of everything and don't know when to duck or fuzzy guard or defensive move or anything really.

Do you play fighting games with monkeys or large cats or something?
So you can't really "play defensive" in VF without getting blown to smithereens. the flow between both players is a conversation, and when it's your turn to speak, you've gotta ROCK. it only makes sense to play defensive when it's not your turn - and turns go back and forth very quickly in the game. When you make the right choice, be it attacking at advantage and getting a counter hit OR blocking your opponent's attack OR ducking their throw, it's YOUR turn. Don't be defensive when it's your turn!
let's reason it out:
fuzzy guard exists solely to beat the mid/throw mixup. If you have frame advantage, obviously, you shouldn't fuzzy because your mid will beat your opponent's mid and your mid will also beat your opponent's throw. If you're at major disadvantage, anything -6 or over, fuzzy guard won't work, because you can get thrown during the crouch dash animation at that point. So it also doesn't make sense to do it there.
Fuzzy guard, therefore, is only logical when you're from -5 to 0 advantage. It's worth knowing which of the moves you like to use are fuzzy guardable when blocked, but the easy one is your elbow, so just start doing it when that gets blocked and you can get used to it. Also, if your opponent punishes an unsafe move with P,K you're at -4 then too. Just work your way from there.
In terms of evades... Well, evades are theoretically always good when your opponent is going to attack, but also remember that if you have frame advantage, your attack will beat your opponent's. so it doesn't really make sense to use them there, either, just like fuzzy guards. remember that at -6 or above, fuzzy guard doesn't work, so one OS that's really good is buffering a throw escape into a sidestep. If your opponent tries a usual mid, like an elbow, you'll get a successful evade and be rewarded with good frame advantage and your opponent will be side turned. or, if your opponent tries to throw you, you could successfully break the throw.
You can make that OS better by cancelling the sidestep with a forward dash, then cancelling the dash with guard. lots of circulars in the game are pretty slow, and your reward for blocking circulars is typically better than blocking something like an elbow.
OK, so here's a rhetorical exchange
P1 tries P, 6P
P2 blocks both attacks, P1 is -4, it is P2's turn
P2 attempts a throw
at this point, fuzzy guard is P1's best option. P1 doesn't have to guess what throw P2 wants to use, because he will technically be crouched under it when the throw comes out.
if P1 tried instead to do evade with a buffered throw escape, he runs the risk of picking the wrong throw break.

I can't find anything funny about something you probably paid $200+ for getting slapped out of your lap and possibly hitting the floor.
But hey, maybe it's a "You had to be there" moment? Idk.

You play with Archimonde?
I imagine when you beat them they go 'I AM THE DEFILER, LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION, THIS WORLD WILL SUFFER MY WRATH AND BUUUURRRRNNNN!"
Do they hoot out "Manach Sheek THRISH?"
I'd kill for a fighting game where I fight the burning legion XD
Not that you needed more confirmation. KI official forums has a section for Kim Wu

If somebody yelled at you in an aggressive manor they'd get asked to leave, if they touched you or your equipment we'd ban them. No tolerance for that shit, we've had to ask people to leave before for getting too heated or punching machines.

Bought an Xbone (and Kinect) for three games lol. Figure I'll play through those and then sell it when KI hits PC.
That's the part where you grab the popcorn.
When's Kil'Jaedin
It's cool that there is a Nesica cab in America but it's not that big of deal if it's just limited to 1 location and is an arcade exclusive (Round 1 only).
Would So Cal stop playing in Ultimax tournaments in the US because they got 2.0 and everybody else is on the first version?

They are the same power level. Also nobody in fgc is subtle like that. We need a Sargeras. 
regarding ducking... if you're ducking to block a low and you're not reacting to a low that you're seeing about to hit, you're making a hard read. It's an okay read to make, I do it sometimes. crouch guard beats throw and lows, and lots of mids don't do what the attacker wants them to do when they hit a crouching opponent.
But don't just sit there, most 3K's leave crouching opponent's at -8, at which point they can't duck under a throw.
Obviously the best time to duck is if you're reacting to a low. or if you recognize that a hit in your opponent's string is a high - you can seriously blow people up after ducking highs in 5FS.

But you have to make the riceballs, and then your hands are all covered with sticky rice. Pocky is good if you are actually playing games or something.
Popcorn is really the king of all snacks for when you are just being the laziest slob ever and watching the world drift by.

In about 14 hours, Sako will be in the studio to practice Xrd with Daigo, Machabo, and of course Jyobin and Kosuke as the hosts.
Who wants to party with Momochi and Chocoblanka?

Yeah, a lot of fights happen.
Pretty much. The only reason I still go to my locals is because I want to get some experience in popular games that I want to learn, but definitely not for fun.
I don't know much about Warcraft :< I played 2 and 3 but it ultimately turned out to be too APM for me, moreso than Starcraft
The reason I didn't pick up WoW is because DnF existed lol
That actually sounds pretty nice :v

Does he cover anime or at least point out when a company does something that was in an anime fighter first that its not new? Or that a LOT of fighters exist outside of NRS , Double Helix, and Capcom and that they have a lot of really interesting tools?
I like Maximillian for the record, but I have a problem with this. I'm cool with how he's changed to daily content, and all he's had to do to keep views high and to make money. Thats life...I just wish that he presented a more complete perspective of what is out there and didn't laugh and poke fun at anime from time to time because so much of what happens that excites him or that he claims he hopes for is out there in anime fighters already. His Doom X-mas thing bugged me in particular. Especially now that I've seen how damned impressive the toolset and features of Arcana Heart are.
