Fighting Games Weekly | June 24-30 | Twitch, pay your paaAAAaartners for god's sake!

They're basically pulling a Skullgirls as far as I can tell.

The Skullgirls Engine would be the best solution to the netcode problem. Unsure if that's as feasible since they've created a game already.

We probably need to hound Ravi into seeing what that would cost.


I would hope that an offline competitive community forms around Yatagarasu. Has anything like that happened for it's current version yet or is just another King of Combat? (100% online, no tournaments ever)


They sold the old version of the game offline, there's nothing keeping it from happening.

If they can keep a 2014 date, they'd be in good shape for forming a poverty community. No big releases for a good while next year. At worst I think they'd have a Melty-sized comm, and Yatagarasu should be easier to play.

We have to drill it hard into their heads that we need real netcode- they are ex-SNK devs, they might be ignorant when it comes to that. Point out how much it hurt KOF in the States- not just XIII but 98UM/02UM.

I'd love to see an expansion to Shin Koihime Musou on the SG engine myself.
 
That's the best part, he says things so deadpan. I feel like the only american who likes more the more deadpan they are -_-

Deadpan is always the best. There's nothing worse than someone who immediately laughs at all their own jokes, or acts like they need someone's approval to say what they want to say.
 
I felt bad for zhi when he was about to commentate a santaroman match I think during the after party w/ the LoL chick and she just left when he was about to commentate.

Zhi was heartbroken that he was the only one commentating that match. He soldiered on though like a champ
 
Hey, guys.

Seon from Nyu Media here. Thanks for spreading the word about our Yatagarasu campaign and many thanks for the contributions!

I can't promise to be super-responsive, but I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about the game or campaign.

To get us started: we actually pitched GGPO to the dev pretty hard as part of our initial proposal, but they're confident that their improved engine will be better than GGPO. We'll find out :)

Daaaaaaaamn. I don't know about that, but I respect their self-confidence. Backed regardless.
 
We need Mike Z Smash on these devs.

I'm hoping their custom engine will be similar to Blazblue netcode if that's the path they're taking. I consider that more than acceptable.

I feel like I've heard this for another game, and the netcode turned out to be mediocre :(. Hoping it turns out well!

The game was KOFXIII.

Someone on my twitta machine posted that GGPO has a bad reputation in Japan due to 3SO being buggy. Unsure if there's any truth to that or not (the person posting does know their shit and has designed netcode)
 
I mention Koihime Musou earlier today, and I find out the game is getting a PS3 release Sep.26th. Might have to import a game for the first time in 15 years.
 
I appreciate the articles this guy is trying to write, since they're some of the only not-100% negative FGC articles out there, but he always gets shit wrong and comes up with the worst titles.

for example

that's just plain negligent research.

This is the same guy who wrote the "bigots have the loudest voice in the FGC" article not a couple weeks ago.

This is the same guy who wrote the "bigots have the loudest voice in the FGC" article not a couple weeks ago.



That part falls under the "poor titles" part, since the article itself didn't really support that title. Even with his so-called research and reporting, the article was half-and-half, like there are bigots and there have been lots of strides made.

It's like he googles for a little bit but not in-depth, asks to talk with people whose names come up, but doesn't really try to get an accurate picture. Sensational-sounding title, barely satisfactory content, BOOM, hits.

it all depends on the bracket though. Last years top 8 had plenty of surpises no one saw coming fruitsy? infrit?
Japanese players usually get put into death brackets because they don't have the seeding points of US players. Some of the Japanese will be seeded though but most will not be.

Please go back and pitch rollbacks until they listen. I don't mean any disrespect, but what works in Tokyo for netcode doesn't work in America or Europe. This will already be a "relaunch" of the game, and frankly you don't get multiple chances to get it right if the first impressions are bad.

I have to agree, You should have insisted or said no deal.
 
I popped in AE for the first time in years today...cannot DP FADC into Metsu anymore lollllllllll

That's much easier on stick though, macros were not even helping one bit.


Anybody rooting for FChamp to take Marvel at Evo?


You know what? Yeah, I kinda am. I've been watching him play on FGTV and talk about theory (then demonstrate it) and his dedication is inspiring. He's a bit of a goofball, but goddamn, he loves marvel.

I'm cheering most for ChrisG to lose. Just for practical hype purposes, you know?
