What did Zhi say?
I hope people give injustice a try when it drops. Casuals will eat it up for sure cause of all the single player content. But there's enough depth for hardcore plays. Think of it like marvel kombat haha. It was a pleasure to work with nrs staff too all cool guys and very receptive of our input. For the most part we did our job to make the game better instead of just saving broken stuff until after release

It doesn't have a single element in common with Marvel's distinct mechanics, though.
Besides you and NerdJosh, other players/communities have been playtesting it too right? Any names you could disclose?

British Floe sucks
Would love to hear your thoughts on hawkgirl and shazam
(and ares if you are allowed heh)
also i think some characters seem to have higher mobility than others doesnt that present a balance issue ?

FGC too indie for PAX East.

Injustice still moves and animates kinda shitty to me. I am still getting it though, heh. I guess I am the problem.
I did have to turn off when it became clear his commentary would consist the beautiful/gorgeous Kayane, surely someone get beat her/he doesn't know what is coming, etc.
Anyone interested in challenging her knows full well she has been playing SC competitively and anyone at all would have the ability to know the players, picked by mcz to play, are at least upper mid level players. At least Zhi would have been able to mix things up.
Injustice never getting updates confirmed.
Sorry I'm not at liberty to disclose those names. If people want to speak up its fine but I respect their decision if they want to stay private.
When I said marvel kombat I meant it in sense that its a modified mk9 engine taken to the next level. New things in this game u can do that are impossible in mk(long juggles, push block, unique traits, double jumps, air dashes, fuzzy guard setups, the whole nine. There are also trades in this game which don't exist in mk, proper draw game system etc.
Thanks for the answer. Was asking in the place of someone else who missed the whole PAX thing.
I'm really looking forward to Injustice on the other hand.

4 out of my top 5 SF characters made it into top 8, not bad.

Is the AE update a patch or are new chars and modes going to be added?
I assume the former.

The top 8 (that's Sakura between Cammy and Sagat)
What do you mean by safe? Weren't those characters determined by that poll they took on who peoples favorite characters are?

No Ibuki? /Throws stick.
We don't know either way.
Safe in the sense that there's nothing really out there about the final 8. I understand fan votes and know that all of those characters enjoy a decent popularity, but I dunno, I guess I thought there'd be more shake up between the ranks.
Bleh disregard me, I'm just talking outta my ass right now. :lol
Sakura? I'm okay with this. Top 4 as expected, but I'm surprised to see Cammy, Sakura and Juri so high.
If they need a brand new model, chances are very low.I wouldn't be surprised to see Hugo, Elena, Poison and Rolento in the update.
I still want Alex, Urien, and Q.
Why do people want Urien in this game if there's also so much demand to remove the just frame unblockables?
I just don't get how his playstyle could translate to a game without some kind of parry mechanic.
Although Tyrant Slaughter would probably make for a good looking ultra...

Guess which game made more money/is more popular.
AE is wholly owned by Capcom with no rights management Olympics needing to be played to alter a half of the roster. Marvel team was disbanded because at the time of their last evaluation, they felt it would be better to live with the kinda-sorta good-to-middling return they made on releasing Ultimate than devote anymore time to playing said Olympics for updates of any kind. What they didn't expect was for the Marvel fanbase to be so vocal (to which Nitsuma was sent out a few times to hush people, see last EVO panel), and for Ultimate which had sold 3/10ths of Vanilla's LTD at the time (600K) to keep selling in the interim.
Also, AE is more internationally popular than Marvel.

Again?
UMvC3 sold less proportionately, was sent to die in release scheduling by Marvel, and Marvel gets a cut of their profits too for licensing. Why would they make another if it's going to make them little to no money? It makes much less sense than doing another SFIV update, which doesn't make less sense as is. Also, they're working with more shared resources with AE, allowing them to port shit/infrastructure/characters/hooks back and between SFxTK, etc. SF is just easier to work with and Niitsuma was needed to help with JoJos and stuff.
Aegis could work in this game with a fast overhead that you can't combo off of normally. Make it start with no invuln like with soul satellite and a fixed starting position.
Mostly though, I just like hearing Urien talk shit in fights.

I remember a few years ago Capcom had a similar character poll in Japan, and Chun Li got about half the total votes.
