Fighting Games Weekly | August 6-12

Watching WNF and this is the first time I've ever seen an ASW game running at 720p+ on twitch. It could bring a grown man to tears.
Internet on blast again.

edit: I wonder if the anime players will be upset that Haunts and Spooky are doing top 4 commentary.
Don't let the words of a few represent an entire community.
 
I know it's early, but do you guys see P4 having legs? Moreso than BB, which was relegated to a niche title?

lets just say KOF13, SG, SC5, VF5, and MK9 never had 80+ people entrants at WNF. (correct me if I'm wrong.) Even if it stays at 60 its almost guarantee to be at EVO. Its a matter of people sticking with it and that will come in time

I think medium legs if that makes sense. It looks accessible enough to pick up and get momentum, but probably not deep enough for 10 more years. This btw is the best a fighting game could hope for in the next year I think, so it is well placed.
 
DO YOU EVEN PERSONA, BRO?

Vita remake + P4 Arena. :D (Got both today!)

And yes before taking this silly picture I was playing both at the same time. :p

The only games that stick around for 10 years are those that happen to be the last games made by a developer after jumping ship. :D

Holy crap, RIP is TROLLING Floe so hard in VF5.

I counted 12 Flip Kicks on FLoe... half of them were blocked yet Floe still lost.
 
Crap, RIP is the ultimate troll. He just pulled a Zerochan on autobot Dan.

EDIT: Oh crap, Jacky vs Lion... troll characters vs troll character. This is gonna be madness.

EDIT2: SMH.... Rip's flipkick death trail is increasing.
 
This is totally so minor and unimportant, but it annoys me in Persona that the combo counter appears on the side of the person getting comboed, not the one doing it. Every other recent game is the over way! Lol.

I'm going mad.

This is a problem when doing the All Out attacks in the opponent's corner, the smoke blocks the combo number and makes it harder to time the fatal counter.
 
Random question how do you know which round it is? Where's the symbol located?

its covered by the banner at the top lol

you can time it. I know James Xie saying they got it down where it was something like 6 button presses with both buttons or something like that to get the fatal counter. Somewhere along those lines.
 
wonder why she was there so late XD

Probably just wanted to get some late night boba and was curious about the huge crowd in the arcade.

WNF was way too packed tonight. Don't think I'll go back until the Persona hype dies down a little or they have more than 4 setups plus the stream.
 
I don't see how SF4 was a gateway to anything cept maybe Marvel. Actually judging it on a player per player basis, I think animu games only lost relevancy because of SF4 and Marvel. Spooky, Sabin, Noel: Arcana -what?

At least we know most sf4 players will enter an anime game tournament if you offer a free shirt.

They didn't so much lose it as they were completely eclipsed by games that had a bigger reach.

Players brought into the scene by SF4/Marvel are not the enemy.

I don't think anyone's saying that new players are the enemy. Rather, I think the idea is that the standard for the number of entrants in a "normal" tournament was really skewed by SF4 and Marvel. The two games still tend to eclipse every other game in terms of entrants during majors, after all.

The problem is that some people blame their game not doing well on people playing SF4/Marvel instead, when those two games have done more to bring people in than any Anime game. A rising tide lifts all boats, but it's not going to convince people to play a game they don't want to play.

SF4 = the CoD of fighters and Marvel = the Halo of fighters. :P
