I don't think so.
And now I feel obligated to provide a fighting game related contribution to this theme.

Triforce confirms Dieminion got a job, which is why he won't be going to EVO.
Leaves Broken Tier to join Empire. Has to get a job and can't go to CEO or Evo. #Kappa

Last time I heard this was in a sea of Jameson+Arizona Iced Tea. Felt like I laughed for an hour.
Was a combo of that and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGwwJEE7k48
I really don't get why Dieminion couldn't just say it himself
why is triforce having to explain this on OBS when people have been wondering for a while
that doesn't make sense to me

So I went into Gamestop today with my $5 off used games coupon I had lying around to get Continuum Shift Extend for PS3. They didn't have it, just 360 and Vita. So I snagged the Vita version, so now I'm used to (read, used to, not good) playing Guilty Gear it might help me get into BB a little more. That and for just $12 bucks it was kinda an easy pick-up.

Word on SRK is that Green Ace is planning on quitting UMvC3 after CEO because he can't handle the salt.

Not sure if it's on Plus or not, and even if so I don't have it so it's not in the cards. That and I prefer owning carts of my Vita games instead of digital, unless they're digital only like GG is. The Dpad works great for me, better than the PS3's Dpad as I'm capable of pulling off Distortions that use 632146 on the Vita much better than on the PS3, and yeah the game looks great on the Vita's screen as well.

I should punish myself and learn tao on vita... then again I barely recovered from hand problems from that stupid cat a day ago

Why would I believe anything from SRK though?
Because it's what Green Ace himself posted in SRK? Game sucks yadayada, going back to Smash.

Some guy named bavobbr posted a breakdown of the country representation for SF4 at EVO in the comment section of the SRK article. I have no idea if this is a accurate breakdown though.
United States 1283

Japan 51
Mexico 38
Brazil 17
unknown 11
France 11
Britain 10
Chile 9
pe 8
Singapore 7

So if this info is correct then that means of the 1601 competitors for SF4, 318 are foreigners. That's nearly 20% of the total participants. It'd be great to see a similar breakdown for all the other games just to see how much international presence they have.

Green Ace barely had a chance to block any true Dark Vergil mix ups, he dealt with the problem beforehand like you are supposed to. The mix ups that Dark Vergil does on incoming are equivalent to the mix ups that Dark Phoenix does, a multi tiered 50/50 that you have a low chance of getting out of. Justin Wong has some of the best blocking in the business and he got hit twice by that mix up in a row. Its what makes the character so dangerous.
Also Apologyman said he was quiting Marvel after EVO as well but he's doing it because new BB is coming out.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Best way to block dark vergil mix ups is to not even make them a factor

So... that was a fun set, Joule. I could tell my loltastic Anji would get read like a book. I'm very predictable lol.

I blame that more on the character he really only has a few viable mix ups and options.
I feel this way about almost every character though Ky spoils you, this is also why I find it hard to enjoy other fighters as much as GG. Ky is pretty much the perfect fighting game character.
But you still beat me so badly! I'll need to do some adjustments for next time. A bit frustrating not getting frcs when I wanted. I suck D:

Good catch lol, their is even one "UK" rep. I have noticed that their are a lot of Japanese players in this tourney. Many of whom are unknown to most stream monsters like "Horuto" from pool D11.

I just kept smashing my head against the wall until I got the wins. You should have seen how many times I went with butterfly and that hard jumping overhead.
He is simple, but really crude compared to the rest of the cast. Ky is simple, but really open ended in comparison.
At first, but eventually you caught on to my gimmicks and getting those wins wasn't as easy. I'm terribad at air grabs in this game. I thought I was the one who'd get their ass whooped tbh.

Apology man vs moons on fgtvlive
Moons wins 3-0

I've got $15 of gamestop credit and am eyeing either skull girls or sf3 third strike, do either of these still have a good online community? Also, I'm guessing sf3 has grapple characters...does skull girls? I honestly don't know a super lot about the game....anything to the likes of gief/ t hawk/ grundy?
I've never fought an Anji like ever so it was a lot of "so what do I do now?" on defense.

Backdash :lol
Ky can get out of some of eddies unblockable set ups with a good backdash too, I mean you still get hit but he cant really convert off it hooray for having a funky drop speed

SG is younger, but Third Strike is more popular so you'd probably get just a little less than SG would. Online is going to be very busy for SG in the future, though. There are five new characters on the way so the online scene is going to be very active from now on.
Third Strike has Alex who is pretty cool and SG has Cerebella who is pretty much the ultimate grappler.
Your backdashes were on point. You didn't play around there at all.
Also, the only Kys I've ever fought were you and Q. I can say with complete confidence that I've fought about a dozen people in this game... and half of them were test runs that ended horribly in this version's online at first.
idk I think moonz blew him up in the neutral
