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

Of course I would get the last post on that last page:
I know a some folks here like Marvel but don't visit the OT thread, so I'm posting this here; if you hate Marvel, cool - I'm not asking for anyone's support who wouldn't want to buy the game, I just want to be sure everyone knows what's up:

Sven at Capcom USA has recently said that our voices have been heard at Capcom, but that he thinks that Marvel needs convincing. He suggested three Twitter accounts that need to receive some love:

@AgentM (Ryan Peganos)
@cbake76 (Chris Baker)
@MarvelBlip (Marvel Games, which seems to have connections to Chris Baker and others)

AgentM has responded to the numerous tweets he received:
https://twitter.com/AgentM/status/289834747251810304
https://twitter.com/AgentM/status/289836214540976130

I hate Twitter, but I've made an account just for occasions like these. It's quick, and it will help our chances of getting more content updates in the future. If this is something you care about, pitch in - it only takes a moment of your time.

Karsticles, consider making a thread about it. I certainly think that it's threadworthy. I can do it for you if you want, but I'd probably just copy&paste the majority of your post anyways.

I feel like I'm at the beginning of an episode of the Twilight Zone here.

Fuck community. Chris G is trying to pay his bills. Play him in a tournament.
 
I'm still watching the last archive of the Bums house stream.

Skip to 3:41:00 and wait a bit for the Chris G talk. Fab says some real stuff.

And CJ Showstopper goes at Yipes and Viscant later on.
Thanks.

I don't like the way Yipes is ducking CJ Showstopper. I don't think he's scared but free money is free money.
Yipes is ducking CJ? When has he even had a chance? Dude lives on the other coast and neither of them travel much.

Yeah, I respect Chris G's decisions. Bum and them are just trying too hard to peer pressure Chris G into doing some shit he's not obligated to.
 
Thanks.

CJ is trying to set up a MM but Yipes isn't having it. He says he doesn't see him as a threat. Then he says he needs to beat someone else to get to him. Then he says he doesn't like how CJ approached him even though he was respectful this time. The least he could do is say he'd play him at the tournament they are both at.
 
Yipes ducking CJ? Who is CJ to begin with?

The hidden boss at FGTV. If you beat Champ in a FT 10 you get to unlock CJ.

I want to see Yipes vs CJ.



Nah, Filipino Champ is a much better player than Chris G, in Marvel and AE.

That's a very unpopular opinion here in the weekly thread.

Yipes should just play CJ 15-0 his ass then laugh at him. It's not like CJ needs the money, and Yipes can use some extra dough.
 
Okay whoa, CJShowstopper talking reckless.

"I play with the best, you think I'm afraid of Yipes?"

Son, you don't know what your getting yourself into. I also don't believe him that it's been close every time Yipes and him have played. I would bet that Yipes was never serious when he played CJ, pretty sure when he went to FGTV house we wasn't playing anyone seriously, including the Japanese. Bum is right too, Yipes doesn't care about the money, and he gains nothing beating CJ.

He gains money, and putting CJ in his place. I would love to put CJ in his place... if I was Yipes of course.

Didn't Yipes just get engaged? How the fuck you not care for money? That's a bunch of bull shit. I don't think CJ can beat Yipes even if Yipes was at 75%. Take the free money!

Point taken. He should do it. Someone should set it up for SCR.

I just don't think it's worth it if you fly out to another coast just to make a measly $300.

I loled
 
I don't understand why those guys are complaining about not being able to play Chris G.
He goes everywhere, they need to stop being shut-ins.

They're desperate to play him in long casual sets in hopes that they'll finally be able to figure him out, however Chris G has no incentive to potentially make his competition harder to beat given he already has the EC on lock. The issue with going to events to fight him is that they need to pay Chris G/Henry Cen even more money.

I've never lost a tournament winner bet so far. 100% for EVO and SF25th. Champ's gonna win APEX and SCR. I wouldn't be surprised if ChrisG lost to someone before grand finals, depending on who entered.

Isn't that all down to luck though? Were you expecting Champ to get utterly annihilated at Seasons beatings for some reason?
 
I agree with Chris G for the most part but it is funny that the East coast players got to sit down with FChamp and Alioune before they got to sit down with Chris G.

Simply THIS.
 
I don't think it has a prayer of happening due to lawyers.

Hasbro shut down the MLP fan-made MTG set, didn't they? (They own both properties.)

edit: They did.

Well, were the MTG guys trying to profit from it? Or maybe Hasbro has one stance on MTG, but another one on MLP. So long as the devs/Evo aren't trying to make money from it, it looks like FiM is in the clear:

Wikipedia said:
Though an unlicensed work from Hasbro, the holders of the My Little Pony franchise intellectual property, the Mane6 team has not received any cease and desist notices from the company to date.[when?][11] Like much of the rest of the Internet phenomenon surrounding Friendship is Magic, Hasbro has allowed episodes of the show along with parodies and mashups of the works to be redistributed freely across the Internet, helping to create a participatory culture that has drawn a broader audience to the show, even going as far as to say they have no intentions of ever filing takedown notices as they see this as "Free Advertising and spreading".

I think the Evo team deserves the benefit of the doubt. It seems like it would be very foolish to run a community poll like this without making sure they can run the game if it wins. The MLP people would probably be pretty pissed if they won, but got cockblocked because Evo didn't make sure they could run the game.

Then again, the new Blazblue that isn't going to even be on consoles by Evo is included as well, so I dunno.

Yipes is already at the top. Who is CJ to him? It's CJ trying to make a name for himself off of Yipes' name instead of making his own. He should have came with FChamp to the east coast if he was really that interested in challenging him. Real talk.

I do agree with Fab about people not playing KOF and just using online play as an excuse.

I can't comment on Chris G not being at the HOC since I don't know the full details, but if you are someone that wants to be the best and play the best, then you go to where the best are at instead of expecting them to come to you. It's not the same with FChamp or Alioune coming through because they are visiting and want to play as much as possible.

They were not. They published fan-sets of printable images (so you could play with the cards at home) and that apparently became a big problem.
 
It's funny, my friend made a comment about the extremely awkward interview of Chris G by Yipes after the last Curleh Mustache. I said it felt like the high school bully and the high school nerd meeting at a high school reunion and just then realizing who each other were.
