Any details about this raffle, USD? I wasn't around to watch the stream.

If you want to watch the stream from yesterday, with the explanation of the raffle:

http://www.twitch.tv/selfd/b/317886491?t=10m10s

And sorry, I totally forgot to post the details here. MarkMan is giving me two SFXTK V.S. Editions to raffle off for the drive. Every $5 you donate, you are entered once into the raffle. The winners get to claim a stick for the system of their choice. There's a donation button on my TwitchTV channel, but you can also just send to USDMonster@gmail.com via PayPal.

The winners won't be able to get the actual sticks until after EVO, as the plan is to take the actual sticks to EVO in order to get the sticks signed by various players. I'm not entirely sure where I'm gonna with the signature thing yet however. I also might just do some free giveaways of other things after EVO.

Good luck USD, here is my contribution. Win or lose, I hope you have fun at EVO.
 
Huge Q&A with Capcom Japan. Highlights:

Users: Blocking weak attacks from someone like Rolento is so frustrating!
Ayano: We're considering making big changes after the balance patch on May 19th, so be prepared.

Users: Please release the 12 new characters early. If you don't do it soon there won't be any players left after the summer rush of fighting games.
Ayano: Understood. We are considering changing the release date of the 12 characters. We also want to make this game strong enough to battle its way through the summer rush of fighting games.

Users: Please fix the timer limit!
Ayano: We are researching the timer issues.

Users: The next thing I expect to see from Capcom is Vampire [Darkstalkers]!
Ayano: At San Diego Comic Con, the reception for Darkstalkers was very spirited. I wonder if it would be the same for Japan...?

Users: Even after all the complaining about the Ultimate Defense gem, you're going to release it anyway? I guess we're just "If we can't see them, we can't hear them" to you. Is that right?
Ayano: I have certainly heard everyone's voices on the subject, and changes will be made.

Users: Please make a new Darkstalkers.
Ayano: To create a sequel to such a masterpiece, many extremely difficult hurdles have to be overcome.

Users: Darkstalkers are not dead! Right?
Ayano: Darkstalkers are most certainly not dead, but please let me focus on SFxT Vita for now.

The rest is mostly SFxTK centric.
 
If they manage to fix the game with a patch, I'll be amazed.

Edit:

Users: Please give Chun-Li her Tenshokyaku back.
Ayano: Consider the amount of adjusting we would have to do if new moves were introduced.

"I duno, that sounds like work."
 
Yeah I don't blame them for not wanting to add new moves in. The game flopped, so I'm surprised they're thinking of doing as much as they seem to be.

I think the game is unfixable, but I'll give it a shot when they patch it up. If only because I can't resell the game for much at this point.
 
its going to take more than a patch that fixes like 10% of the things wrong with that game
At this point it doesn't make sense to me to pour more resources into that game, like it's going to suddenly bring a huge return after all the controversy that you just can't erase or undo. Chalk it up as an L, and move on to the next one.

Not even just because I don't like SFxTK, but if I was an exec at Capcom I'd just pour all the money into Darkstalkers right now, where they can expand on the featureset in SFxTK.
 
If they manage to fix the game with a patch, I'll be amazed.

That's what I wanted to say. The game's holes are far too big and deep to be fixed by patches and duct tape, you'll need to overhaul the entire fighting engine and I doubt they'll do that since they'll probably will not see a good ROI even if they do it perfectly from now on.
 
In a moment of pure rage, which I now am ashamed of, I messaged someone who beat me on XBL: "fucking cheap"

To which, the person responded: "Haha, sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad. I just noticed you kept falling for that, so I took advantage of it. Nothing personal, but I could tell I was in your head"

I'm gonna go lie down :(
