Fighting Games Weekly | January 7-13 | All Eyez on Mr. Wizard

2 years after the RROD struck, I finally have a working 360 again and I want to get SSFIV up to date. I know I have to get the "SSFIV Arcade Edition" upgrade, but I also want to get all the costumes. I already have the "Ultra Costume Catalog 1" and "Ultra Costume Catalog 2". What costume pack do I need to complete the collection? I see that there is the "Ultra Complete Alternate Costume Pack", but I want to avoid paying for costumes I already own, if there is a cheaper alternative.
 
He's talking about MadKOF and Lacid at Season's Beatings Velocity.
Silly me
Correct.

Persona Top 8: 8am - 10am
KOF Top 8: 10am - 2pm
TTT2 Top 4: 2pm - 9pm
AE Top 8: 9pm - 11:30pm
Marvel Top 8: 11:30pm - 2:00am

Makes it a long day and that is only five games.
Dat 4 hour slot

One time I was watching IPW stream archives and I swear to God one of the GFs went on for about 45 minutes. A single fuckin grand final just because the bracket reset. I was convinced on that day that they need to do something about the team format to make it shorter cuz damn.
 
Alukard also made a good point, Chris Gs team needs precision to beat, and the TVs at Big Two are laggy as shit, meaning a lot of the folks who want to go, can't if they play precision characters. I'm not saying this is everything, but it is a factor. Can't Henry get like one lagless TV? That one TV could get Alukard, Bum and Yipes to go every week.


This was a great point too.

EDIT: Holy shit Sanford just went into rage mode and told everyone in the room they are ass. This shit needs to go on YT ASAP.

When Sanford was yelling out "HOW DARE YOU", I could not stop laughing

does anyone have a link to the stream archive where lando was talking about reading books?

also the sanford thing?
 
Sanford can't be talking about what other people need to do in Marvel 3 from the sidelines. Yipes and Justin have transitioned over with success all I see from Sanford is just talk when he should be one of the first ones trying to take down Chris G. Guess he ain't hongry enough.

Just perfect

It amazes me that someone didn't think of this sooner.

KOF @ The Runback vs East Coast= 8-2 matchup

Dat match length and late night viewing is like SFIV 2012 EVO GFs, but week in and week out. I personally settled for IPW stream archives with Haunts and Hellpockets since they were also putting out a ton of CvS2 footage. That was the good stuff.

Do you consider room and time the same thing? It seems like time is a big factor here.

There's probably 2 people that still play KOF seriously on the east coast.

I don't consider room and time the same thing. As far as space, there's plenty of space for setups if they wanted to run 7 games instead of 6. Since EVO has been growing, the amount of games should also grow at least by 1. Plus there won't be a bunch of shirt monsters to account for, so it shouldn't be a problem, especially with doing 16 man pools.

As far as time, there's time to run the actual tournament, but not the time to show top 8 for each and every game. KOF finals took almost 3 hours to complete. You can cut the finals to top 4 which I would prefer rather leave a game out.
 
Sandford also needs to chill.

Go back just like half hour before and watch him act like a complete child and rage at umvc3 because he does not know what to do against a nova who is full screen throwing Forks with shield up.

Same guys that blames the game not himself for sucking ass. (Yipes did this too but he fixed his shit and stopped living off his past success in marvel 2 and stepped his shit up)

Calls top east coast players ass. When he has no right seeing as they destroy his has been ass (when it comes to marvel)

Says people dick ride Yipes to take down Chris. (Yet as pointed out he is one of the so called Yipes dick riders)

Sandford has the fire and I get where he is coming from but he also needs to understand he really can't just go ham on these other dudes that actually put in the work and pretty much shit on all their work just because some dude wins big two which most top ec players avoid because the setups are just fucking laggy asssss. (Spooky I'm sure will get hurt over the truth these niggas spit out re lag but he needs to understand no top player wants to see stream monsters and other side line fucks calling them ass for dropping combos or missing setups because it is due to poor display equipment)

ChrisG is great and best on east coast but he is all about making that hustle. He straight up was saying in chat he can't be figured out. He straight up told Sandford to suck his balls for no reason. And he straight up said east coast was ass and that west was better. He takes it personal when people even suggest his success in part is due to his team.

One day Chris you will be figured out you won't win "free pay checks" and when you look back it will humble you. Or...maybe you'll just start blaming the game like saltford. Hopefully you start to embrace these other players as your brothers in arms and realise they too can help you step your shit up.

I'm not sure why people feel this way. If you don't like that fact that he's winning then beat him.
 
Best part of the stream.

Sanford: "So when was the last time ChrisG lost a tournament?"

*Pause from the room*

Sanford: "You gotta think about it? IT"S FUCKING FREE!!!!!"
 
Sanford is blah, blah. Stating the obvious. You don't like who is winning, take him down.

He sounds so bitter. Even if he is saying something of substance sometimes, it is encased in enough barrels of salt to cure millions of pounds of bacon.

If he was more even mannered and not so back handed and more matter of fact.

All those other guys with the switch your character and you wouldn't win stuff are way off base of course as well.

How could Sanford have been more "matter of fact"?

Well to be honest the actual players were just like it would be cool if he came to house of crack and all that. These guys (bum, rayray, alu, etc respect his play and that) but were unsure of why Chris just ignores their invites. Or why it seems kind of weird that one week you go up to bum as for casuals and he sits down & plays yet the following week bum asks Chris for casuals and is ignored.

Shit like that needed to be cleared up because it comes off pretty badly.

Also, ask any marvel 2 head how long it took people to figure out Justin...years and years..it took Sandford & Yipes years to figure him out. Yet Sandford acts like people can snap their fingers figure shit out comeback in a week and take down a "apex" player. Son please.

If anything Chris has to really worry about the evo champ coming down who will step foot in the house of crack before he even does...and who will be going to apex to show what him & his scene together have worked on to answer the question that is not only ChrisG but MorriDoom.

The part when he went off on Brian comes second

This really doesn't have anything to do with Chris G winning shit. If Bum, Rayray, Brian and the others feel slighted because Chris G doesn't spend his trainfare to go to Bum's house and play them then that's really dumb. If you want to play the guy he's at every weekly local in the tristate area , first of all. number 2, so the fuck what?

I don't feel like Sanfrod was saying he was able to snap his and dethrone justin he's just saying he and yipes were hungry enough to pull off and do what it takes. He's talking about the mentality of the east coast. I don't feel the east coast is ass since there's some really gdlk players here but Chris G winning everything does say a lot.
 
Should have fired back how dare Sanford be so irrelevant in Marvel or SF for that matter.

Don't get why people are resorting to ad hominem here. The man is entiled to comment on the gameplay he's seeing like everyone else in this thread does despite most of us not winning majors or even placing at our locals
 
Pretty sure sanford is just annoyed that people havent been figuring out and making a solid counter team to Chris G's stuff.
 
Well most people here aren't saying that the entirety of EC is booty butt cheeks ass. Sanford is straight up putting everyone except ChrisG/Yipes on EC on massive blast.

Of course he is speaking real talk.

They feel confused because he tells them he is keen to go to their meet ups so they invite him yet he ignores them.

Actually Sandford did get put in his place by Yipes when Yipes asked him how many years it took them to do it.

Sandford calls these players ass and says they are not hungry.

While you have Yipes say the exact opposite in the chat. (He pretty much said you can't just call these guys ass just off results from big two.)

If you guys are simply re watching the video and did not see the chat you really missed out on a lot of context and why Sandford going ham mode is not simply him keeping it real but him letting his emotions come before his head.

Yeah, unfortunately with the archive we only see part of the conversation. ChrisG, Yipes, Bifuteki, Skisonic, Nerdjosh, and some others were all in the stream chat and some of Sanford and Bum's comments were in response to them.

It is reference to the how dare you segment. "How dare you" is one of the worst questions. The person (being questioned) does dare and that is the end of it or the person is incapable of influencing scenario.

How dare you let "x" win?

What is anyone supposed to say to that?
 
What the fuck is Sanford talking about?

"Chris G is winning because everyone else is not as good as him"

10 min later

"Chris G is winning because he's doing what it takes to win"

I can't listen to this man argue in circles.

It's both those factors and more. ChrisG is godlike + EC is not as good + he has a cheap team + he plays at tournaments a lot + EC isn't motivated enough to dethrone him + EC doesn't counter pick him properly.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

I missed it while it was live for obvious reason so I didn't get to see Chris G's snarky comments and Yipes rebuttals. I don't agree with Sanford when he says the EC is ass but I do see where he is coming from on that. Overall Chris G should not be light years ahead of everyone else that he can just walk into a local and be handed first place money.

If Chris G played Chris G, could he counter MorriDoom?

I suspect no.

Wouldn't he be playing morridoom against himself?

If that was a joke I'm sorry

About those TV's...

I went to Next Level this past weekend, it was my fourth time there and what also felt like my last because I'm not going to force myself to play on those awful TV's anymore. I shouldn't have to adopt to the terrible standards of their TV's to do the most simple of combos with Nova and Spencer. Worse than that is when I try to play Strange and I can't confirm into full combos after Mystic Swords. I can also do the FoF loop for free when I play with my brother at home but I never once landed it in a match there.

I don't blame Yipes for not showing up to Next Level anymore and I hope Bum gets his tournament series up if he's still doing one.
 
Also, you guys missed the part in chat where mihe came up as being a good player in general.

ChrisG was quick to say Mihe was a one time thing.

I found that funny at the time.

Twitchtv really need to save chat because without it for people catching the replay miss out on some really important comments from Yipes, Moonz, Rayray etc
 
There's some sort of activist/lawyer gene in Sanford's DNA, and going to Big Two every week and seeing this guy who isn't in the circle consistently dominating seems to stab directly on his sense of INJUSTICE.

He is railing on the issue like William Wallace trying to rally a bunch of dumbfounded Scots to overthrow the nonchalantly oppressive government.
 
Not to hate on the guy as he's solid with his main team, but he doesn't really have good results with anything other than that.

Why would he? He hasn't put in nearly as much effort into his other shit as he has with his current team and those team are not cheap enough quite frankly.

I don't agree with that but it's up to Mihe to put him in his place like he did at the last Final Round. tbh I don't think Mihe has the drive to win as much as other players do despite him being talented.
 
Why would he? He hasn't put in nearly as much effort into his other shit as he has with his current team and those team are not cheap enough quite frankly.

Which ChrisG says otherwise in the chat. Chris said in caps he would win with his Ryu team every week too. He was adamant his success has nothing NOTHING to do with his team.
 
He doesn't need to right now, it was in response to the question.

ok my bad

Which ChrisG says otherwise in the chat. Chris said in caps he would win with his Ryu team every week too. He was adamant his success has nothing NOTHING to do with his team.

Well my last say on this whole thing is if he feels that way more power to him but he honestly doesn't have to prove that point.
 
Also, Moonz kept asking him if he thought his Morri Vergil doom team was top 5 in the game fair few times.

ChrisG would not reply.

Also, I know I'm coming off as a Sandford ChrisG hater or whatever but I'm not (check my post history) just repeating what I witnessed live.

Overall this I feel this shit is better out in the open to be honest since shit can be sorted out in the ec.
