Final Round 16: The Mustache Curls Back | Fighting Game Tournament | Mar 29-31
- Thread starter A Pretty Panda
- Start date
I was speaking in hyperbole as a response to hyperbole. It basically came down to whining because a game that that dude didn't like was getting the community requested set up. I get why Marvel has the 3/5 sets but I accept that's what the community wants.
It seems pretty dumb that so many people here are complaining about this when SF4 which has a relatively equal draw for stream numbers/tournament competitor numbers got 1/3 of the overall stream time as Marvel so far.
Serious question here. Had the 5on5 not happened but it would guarantee seeing at least top 16 down to top 8 for Marvel, in exchange for allowing more stream time for all the games would you all have preferred that?
Wel good for you it wasnt streamed as much today!
Not a fan of Tekken/MK/DOA either, so all I had to watch today was Persona. Tekken has its fans, it deserves time. (Tekken is just too hard for me to watch, but 3d is hard to watch sometimes unless you understand the chars)
VF didn't even get streamed, and one of my local friends got 2nd. (even if he uses that annoying Kage)
Yesterday was KOF, but KOF skill level seemed down from last year until top 8. KOF is just too hard/too high maintenance for enough folks to play it, especially since getting matchup experience is so hard in the US.

Calm down Marvel minions! Let those with inferior taste in fighting games have their day.
I know Kor was one of the first players to ask for 3/5 late last year. Saying the damage is too high and matches end too quickly
as someone who doesnt know alot of tekken and is more of a casual obvserver i sure as hell dont think a game with 3/5 rounds is fast and needs 3/5 matches to boot.

fuckin' called it, man
MARVEL MINIONS
Personally I don't care that Tekken has 3/5 rounds, 3/5 games. More games/rounds the better, you have a better feel of who really came out on top. I haven't played TTT2 much but most of the Tekken have rounds that can end super fast with just one combo into wake up mix up leading into another combo that will most likely finish you off.
The singles tournament is more important than the 5v5. The 5v5 format was ass and not really indicative of which team was actually better (1 round Marvel between players? The fuck outta here).
Have you even played Tekken Karst?
What was the last Tekken game you actually seriously played?

I'd assume that because good launcher combos can usually kill folks in 2 or 3 connects. Wall combos are even more damage, etc. 3/5 is likely a way of mitigating getting blown up really quickly plus it's a lot more satisfying to the players. Pools were 2/3 for TTT2 though, I think.
Oh right forgot he was a full on drama queen now.

One Tekken rule change I'd love to see, real talk, is banning the use of clones on a team. Learn to play multiple characters. I mean I know there are some slight differences between the clones but it almost defeats the purpose of a tag game.

Are you trying to set a record for saying nigga the most times in one thread
Is anyone actually blaming any other game here for Marvel not getting streamed? Its the fault of the stream scheduling and/or tournament logistics and not much else. I'd watch Marvel over Tekken any day of the week but I don't think another game should be bumped for Marvel. If anything, the stream/tournament schedule needed to be tighter or able to accommodate all the extra matches via a poverty/backup stream.
SF only got 1/3 of the stream time because of the CM exhibition really, which went WAY over time and was generally poorly handled. I mean, it was fun, but it was also INSANELY long and ran way overtime, to the point where it was conflicting with the sponsored DS:R exhibition. I think everyone would have preferred what you suggest, it's not really about stream time in general, it's about streaming the matches that matter most. Let's be real, unless there is an uber stacked pool, people don't care for watching pool matches, they want the Top ## stuff.
Ah I see, should've quoted what you were responding to so there wasn't a misconception.

i don't know about other people, but i would have. i don't care about 5on5 team tournaments
Yesssss. I don't really care who makes it in between Xian and Justin, but I'm glad KBR is in there in Winner's.
Edit - Wait, that is loser's it's Kane v Justin to get out in loser's. FUCK GO KBR!
Don't forget, Spooky has been hired to stream FR, so he shows on stream whatever the organizers wants him to show

Seems it could have been this years Marvel moment...
Just because the players want it doesn't mean its a good tournament format.

I'm still trying to decide whether this is the best or the worst post in this thread.
That's the problem with trying to include everyone on the roster. Tekken really needs to pare its roster Tekken 3-4 style again.
Even the VF roster is getting a bit big now.

fuckin' called it, man
They were. I don't think anyone has an issue really, with 3/5 games for a set win. It's understandable given how the game plays. It's just that 3/5 sets for a match win outside of WF/LF/GF is going to lead to lots of twenty-minute to half-hour matches, which, outside of EVO Grand Finals, is generally not a good look.
Rayray beat justin, so they are duking it out in losers.

Or if marvel folks want their own stream, support people that are willing to do it. If no one wants to do that, then gotta deal with the schedule.
This. This is also why the people who are like CRY MOAR MINIONS really piss me off, because I'm not saying Marvel should be streamed instead of your precious game, but that because the schedule got jacked Marvel top 32 got shafted (to an extent no other game's top 32 did, except for VF apparently) and since there's at least 2+ streamers there not streaming anything it's pretty reasonable to be upset that it wasn't put on one of those. Fucking Christ.
But the schedule was for the 2 hours of AE that we got tonight to be last night. No one can argue with the fact that if the schedule hadn't gone to shit yesterday at least some of these Marvel matches would have happened tonight.

It's the best post because it's true.
And you call Spooky a drama queen?
Yea you're right, it's probably best just to delete Jacky.
What the fuck how did Triforce manage to land that? I didn't even realise Yipes left BT for this.
Oh man this KBR vs Justin Wong match is hype as fuck!
Hulk st.H's Wolverine's Dive Kick, ground bounce into death.
Storm evades the incoming mix up.
Hailstorm -> Hulk counters with Gamma Crush DHC into HSF
JUSTIN RAGING DEMONS!!!!
Crowd goes nuts!
Anchor battle between the Machine and Akuma.... Justin gets the grab and OMG he is about to take it!
..... or something.

Marvel is for people who cant play other fighting games honestly.

There's nothing to blame anyone for. Spooky and Larry haven't done anything wrong. It's also ironic that this GeoNeo guy is actually calling other people drama queens.
Where do you think Spooky gets all his "donations". It's the Marvel community.
No fucking idea. I don't follow it too closely, but the consensus seems to be that long term it seems like that's going to fall apart pretty hard.

Not for the general FGC streaming maybe, and particularity not the capcom only fans.
It's a good format for the tekken players, and good format for tekken fans that watch streams.
Uhhhhhhhh
So you agree that Curleh should of finished off stream yesterday right? If it didn't run over everyone would be happy.
nah, it's not hindsight for me personally. i just don't like the 5on5 format and i'd rather see more of the actual tournament, which i find a lot more exciting
This is kinda tough, because anyone wants to stream the game because it brings in viewers, and streaming logistics are tough enough. You can't give people everything they want.
Not only that, TOs want the game on their main stream(s) because it brings in viewers and will likely get more exposure on those streams too. I edited my previous post in response to vulva but this thread is moving fast, but I'll say it again: It's not about the raw amount of stream time, it's about streaming the right matches.

You know, it was a conversation just like this where the term "marvel minion" was born.
