Fighting Games Weekly | September 10-16

I'll be posting up Aftershock details today on IPW.

This will most likely be my last broadcast on IPW for quite sometime -- maybe forever -- so hope you enjoy it. I'll be passing the torch to Harrison who handles the Starbase Streams and the past few Southtown streams.
Oh fuck end of an era. RIP FGC :'(

Wow, this caught me off-guard. I hope you hang around though, with regards to streaming. IPW and you have created some amazing stuff. But regardless, thank you.

Best wishes for the future! I'll always remember our vanilla ft10s ;) Real life took over for me soon after that, and after a long while struggling I think I'm finally bouncing back(well, and I'm a dad now). Cya around(hopefully) and good luck!

EDIT: also this:
Thanks for everything though, you did an incredible job sir.
 
Then they should just run MK.

Maybe Namco's money was the straw that broke the camel's back. ie. Nacmo, WB, Sony and the other sponsors were just enough in MLG's eyes to have an arena. Take Namco and they might as well not bother.

It should be fine now with TTT2 still new though.

Oh really? Is Colorado THE state for Tekken? My friend was saying it's like all anyone plays in Alaska as far as fighters.

I wish I wasn't such a busy fuck so I could come out to more gatherings, but full time gig and full time student + juggling a girlfriend = no time for games. :(

Get your Thursday nights free, yo! That's when we throw down some KOF/P4A and TTT2 soon. :D

This may be possible! I'll text you next Thursday if I can do it, plus I can get some practice time in on TTT2 so I can show up and not be SIGMA FREE!
 
Colorado started off as a Tekken state. We have all gotten older so making time for gaming is harder but the OGs still play.

Big D, Smiles, and Saeng finals for a long, long, long time.
 
What the hell is going on today?!

MLG has canceled the FG Arena for MK and SC5. Very disappointing news and a bad omen for competitive MK. I feel ripped off, I earned that trip to NY.
That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Why did they cancel it mid-season or whatever? Sounds like a dick move committing to something and then pulling out :/

What?! Give us more details based haunts, you can't leave us hanging like this. Is IPW dead or are you giving up the mantle?

I wish you the best of luck regardless in your future endeavors though man. Hope your still around in the FGC.

Dat Capcom paycheck :(

No reason was given. They didn't even tell us until today. A lot of the players changed plans or had trouble getting time off from work and they just spring this on us 4 days before the event. This is not what we expect from MLG.

Just read USD's SRK post about Haunts (gaf->net->gaf) and noticed MASSIVE fucking ads at the top of SRK. When did those show up? They're REALLY annoying.

They've been there at least the last couple of months I have visited, and yes they are very annoying.
 
How old? Also, agreed.

But then again, you wouldn't know how better... :3

It was posted before the other thread died :lol

If you use some logic though, if someone was willing to pay that much for commissioned art on their stick they most likely have good parts as well.

Oh, I know. I was just going by your preference of pads over sticks.

Even octagonal gates are funky. Only handicapping yourself if you use one.

It's not that I prefer pad, it's that I physically can't use a stick anymore. I wasn't always crippled ya know :lol
 
Oh yeah? Why do you say that?

It's too much freedom, I think. With a square gate, blocking is so much easier. There's other reasons that I can't exactly put into words, though. But it's all personal preference so who cares. :(

Well, when it comes to the pad vs stick debate, there really is not that much of advantage when it comes to either. I play Zangief better on pad than on stick, but I cannot imagine playing UMVC3 on pad anymore. :P

DP motions.

Fireball motions are fine and dandy (hell, grappling characters work better with an octo-gate, I think), and it's really not that much of an issue for most fighters. I feel as if you're using training wheels if you want to pull of some shoryukens, though.
 
Eh, it's just a preference. I grew up on octo gates and that's what I still use, I have no problem performing anything. People act like those with octo gates are an inferior race or something.

This... someone actually drew this. I don't know why, but I find this particularly funny for some reason.
 
Square gate, octo gates, gold plated gates

The hell are you guys talking about ?
never used an arcade stick in my life
It's the shape of the barrier preventing your stick from bending any farther in one direction. They have different "feels" to them and certain shapes work better for certain game genres.

I have no idea what the percentages, white lines, and colors are for.

The major reason I decided to try an octagonal gate was because I really wanted to be able to rest my stick in any of the 8 directions. It's more awkward (for me) to rest my stick straight down or straight left/right in a square gate.
