Shh, he's too far gone

Let him dream

I appreciate your good will toward me. :-D

EVO got me into a bit of a playing spree for different fighting games. Switching around got me thinking about the advantages of diversifying and trying different titles.

If there was a fighting game university, what do you think is the one thing games could teach students learning the craft (I'm not talking about experts)?

For example.

P4A: It cops a lot of flak for being simple, but whilst playing this, I think above all else it has been teaching me not to press buttons. If you do like to sit there and hit things you will get blown up every single time.

What game would you use to teach how to conserve meter? What game is best for movement?

Meter conservation is definitely SSFIV.
Movement is Marvel.

Japan going in hard

 

[Dahbomb]

Fuck this shit son... Japan ain't go shit on AMERICA in MAHVEL!!!!!

Little does he know that was FChamp's plan all along... played nice/sandbag against Nemo to lure him into a bigger MM later on.

Marvel is good to learn how to block as well. I noticed an improvement in my blocking in AE after just a short time with that game.

Tell that to the "Are fighting games too obtuse?" thread

I didn't even go into that thread because the title itself was ridiculous. Were they honestly trying to argue that fb motions are too hard?

 

[smurfx]

Nemo vs Fanatiq MM at the fall classic please.

 

[AnkiRendan]

I can pretty much burn the bridge on that one. It's the final season because the game has peaked. It's expensive as hell to produce, but we're doing it for the fans.

Well I guess I might as well ask, even if they didn't show up in the trailer...

*sigh* Any love for Hsien-Ko and Ammy this season?

EMP is basically survivor video game edition. See how long you can last in a video game house in a Jewish neighborhood surrounded by other high level players eating only Chef Boyardee 24/7 while having the man of the house take your money away.

I thought I was good at blocking, and then I played Skullgirls. That game is brutal on your blocking ability. I would put that just slightly above Marvel. Heck, when I first started playing, Duckator was slaughtering me with Filia. So I asked him "What do I do to block all of that consistently once she's on?" He said: "There's really nothing you can do once she's in. You're dead. So don't let her in." The pressure is like Magneto +1.

I can pretty much burn the bridge on that one. It's the final season because the game has peaked. It's expensive as hell to produce, but we're doing it for the fans.

Sad to hear on multiple accounts. Thank you for your devotion, though. I hope you have an excellent finale planned which leaves room for more in the future...just in case...you know. :-/

I found that too, especially high low.

How about for controlling space? Marvel again? Is there a better game?

Wonder if this has been posted in this thread, doesn't have a lot of views. Some info on USF4. In the end Chris says nothing for UMvC3 is in the works but they hears the fans, focus is on USF4 for now however.

Hahaha!
I love reading stupid comments like this and people complaining about Capcom milking people with Ultra Street Fighter 4.

Northwestern Pennsylvania. I know there's a scene in Pittsburgh, but that's about 2 hours from where I live. There's also the fact that I'm probably a lot younger than most players, but if I were to make it out to a tournament or something I don't think it'd matter that much. Looks like there's gonna be some tournaments that are relatively near (by that I mean ~5 hours or so) and it'd be awesome to go. If I can't make them, then I'll definitely be watching streams.

This thread is a great go-to reference for FB groups (maybe add it to the OP?)

Seeing how the Melee community carried themselves over the weekend was the most impressing thing about my EVO 2013 experience. I believe these guys are truly the most hardworking people when it comes to fighting games. I mean, I would see the dudes going at it before the doors opened, going at it with casuals while pools were running, when the finals were going and even late Sunday when everyone left the main event room.

The hype, man... They were going insane at pools, at the semis, and the top 8 finals were amazing. I can't think of any other game more deserving to come back to EVO 2014 than a (by next year) 13-year old game.

I had a lot of awesome experiences over the weekend, but I will say that I really want to play Smash way over Marvel due to the dedication they showed. Good shit, guys.

;_;

I'm crying

Yeah, we really, really, really love our game

Online it is called spamming but it seems that in evo it is called strategy

Yeah. Pretty pathetic. No idea why this is being encouraged with money rewards. That's the kind of crap my 7 year old nephew does.

Kingtaco021 • 2 days ago
Yeah keep using heat vision you noob that guy should've got deathstroke and spam gunshots on him lol


imoran89 Kingtaco021 • 2 days ago
i think deathstroke was banned from the competition. i didnt see any of them using deathstroke, not even on the pool matches.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

A few years ago I saw in a game news website a article about Daigo, and one of the comments said:

"Huh, anyone can throw some fireballs, I wanna see him playing FIFA, now that's a hard game"

SMFH

 

[Xevren]

Holy fuck, those comments even put youtube comments to shame lol.

 

[SloaneRisette]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

That's probably some of the worst stuff I've ever read.

I'm crying

Yeah, we really, really, really love our game

Smash fans are some of the greatest fans out there. I've noticed this as I get to know to more and more people in the NM scene (Sliraobe God, tw1n, Light, and others). Good players, good teachers, and not too many complainers. Just from playing a few sessions with the local scene I've gone from zero knowledge to having a decently good Peach.

The dedication of the Smash scene is pretty impressive to me, especially considering how much Nintendo goes out of their way to shit on you guys.

chris g should try to win evo with his feet next time

 

[ClintonBowman]

Yo...I can't. My brain hurts from reading that.

 

[cdkee]

Anyone know if there is a comprehensive list of balance changes for USF4 anywhere?

 

[ClintonBowman]

I'll be honest, I really enjoyed only three things this Evo:

Reynald wrecking Woo in KOF, Jwong's epic comeback and BananaKen coming so close to beating LordKnight at P4U.

I honestly thought that Reynald would have completely lost that Grand Finals, and then he caught Woo choking so HARD.

I'm a big fan of both Jwong and Chris G, but Wong caught Chris G where it hurt...his lack of defense. Wong took full advantage, but none the less, it was an amazing match.

 

[notworksafe]

Check again in a few months. They are only just starting to let that info out now and even then it's hardly detailed or complete.

So far this is about as complete as it gets for now http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/jul/13/announced-balance-changes-new-street-fighter-4-update/

 

[Clawww]

I heard some talk during EVO about a Nova mix-up involving his down-forward airdash. Any word on that?

 

[ClintonBowman]

Did they have a list of balance changes? I don't think that was published yet.

Man with the way people hate spamming so much, that LoL fighter is going to be a huge hit. Cooldown on specials? Casuals will love it!

I heard some talk during EVO about a Nova mix-up involving his down-forward airdash. Any word on that?

It was used at the tournament. It's just you hover above someone looking like you want to do an air dash down overhead but you call an assist then do an air dash down forward behind them for a cross up. It's not something most people expect from the character as they are usually expecting an overhead from the front in that situation.

Yo damn

FChamp is long conning to set up a $10k money match.

ChrisG matches are either anti-hype.... or the most hype matches on the planet.

This is the game we play.

Hyperbole much? Just booted it up on my Wii with component cables and the game still looks really good.

Why is there no wave dashing though?

But this is the best kind of drama...

I want FChamp to be furious over losing to Nemo 20-10. Shit is pathetic... this is a GOD of the fucking game and he loses that bad?

Someone needs to arrange a high stakes MM at a big stage. Fucking fly over Nemo if you have to. I would personally bet $100 on a side here. Japan can't be insulting America like that at their own game.

Maybe Nemo was the real sandbagger all along. Loses in pools at Evo like a dufus, and then he hustles FChamp. Fanatiq needs to take notes.
