Is there a plugin that will translate the site anywhere?

abload is good because they don't compress pictures as much, but does it have the ability to make folders. organize photos and account stuff?

Can't even use my imgur because I used up all the viewable images you can have on it for the Marvel team maker post.

Chrome has page translation built in.

I'd rather they improve the dynamic to where it's more like traditional fighting game tournaments, but honestly, that's only to sate the viewers. They treat the players like professionals, that's where it needs to go.

Unless the FGC wants to remain insular and the same as it has always been. Always have da beech.

If professionals means limited interaction with the existing community and not offering them qualifiers to grow, and scheduling events with no attention paid to community events, then no thanks. IPL had it right, and I see no advantages MLG carries over the IPL model outside of maybe goodie bags.

I think players do need to be treated as professionals, but that is the least of the problems when it comes to a community that can't otherwise rely on a ton of accessory manufacturers to fund it's growth and which's viewership and player base appreciates a lot of the more unprofessional elements that make other eSports leagues look sterile in comparison.

FChamp claims that people think Ultimate Marvel is crazy now and things will get less crazy in the patch... but says the game will still be crazy.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Still existing would be a bit of a biggie.

But I get what you are saying. I'd just like to see it happen, properly and with all the best games. Then if it isn't working we could at least go from there.

Too true.

Was a patch confirmed?

A patch is not confirmed. But Capcom saw Marvel at EVO and said that the game could use some changes/fixes. They have asked fans to give suggestions on what they might want to see in a potential patch. And right now that's exactly what the fans are doing.

Bolded is just not true. They paid attention, but they also don't specifically do fighting games. I cannot believe people still think MLG scheduled their events with any kind of malice or ignorance towards the FGC.

And yeah, IPL is gone for a reason. Professional tournies need to be profitable. If you can't do that, don't even bother wasting your/our/everyones time.

The FGC has something great in its community. It truly makes it unique to any other 'eSport'. But it's going to stay underground if nothing more than the top 3-4 players make a laughable amount of money off of that.

Maybe that's ok with you, though.
 
So I just caught up and realized that DSIV is not happening or in development.

So.. is the entire FG division of Capcom doing nothing right now? Pretty much only the core SFIV team exists right now led by Ayano-san right? Niitsuma probably twiddling his thumbs after the JoJos port.

That's.. kinda sad. And weird. Two new hires out of the community for Capcom Fighters, Capcom statement saying they're investing in fighters for the future and.. nothing? Dat DS:R DHC into DmC too strong.

Maybe not complete ignorance since they're scheduling around multiple events, but at least IPL had the decency not to have a fighting game event at the same time as a community major because they acknowledged it, even if the rest of the show still goes on. And hasn't MLG not touched black since they're inception or something? Or have they started turning a profit finally after 10 or so years?

Pretty much, you don't have to follow what MLG has done to do it right. I prefer how Capcom has handled it all: Don't do it unless you do it right and everything is right, not only parts of it. It's a shame that stuff beyond their control led to the demise of IPL, but at least they acknowledge the power of an official league now with the resurgence of eSports.

They are all working on a God Hand sequel, hence why Gene will be the 5th USF4 character. It all makes sense now!!!

All those statements and hirings were before Capcom had to justify their abysmal fiscal year to investors.
 
Well, I suspect one team is handling Ultra SFIV, another will handle Mahvel patch, and they must have something next gen related they don't want to talk about yet ?

Just hit me:

That's why they can patch Marvel. The team's working on Capcom All-Stars. It got bumped up from 2nd out to first out due to DS4 getting axed. (RIP)

As if the new patch isn't going to have silly shit.

Well I winced a few times ready Karst's proposed system changes, Stuff like changing how XF fundamentally operates and stripping TACs down to an almost useless feature was just way too much for me to handle. We can't have this kind of crazy talk representing the fanbase if by some miracle Capcom does release a patch that is based on "fan input'. I'd be much happier if they just tweak the variables, change damage, properties, effects, timing, etc... fix the hitstun shit that allows infinites, give Magneto an alternate costume that I can select, and call it a day.
 
I don't want to be a bother, but if someone could beech up my avatar a bit i would appreciate it.

Also does anyone else have problems playing certain games on the Vita? Every time I try to play BlazBlue on it it's a complete disaster. Moves don't come out when I want them to, I can't seem to move very well, etc. I think the d-pad is just too small for me I guess, idk. I know it's not an accuracy issue since I can play something like DOA perfectly fine on it. It's not a big deal since I can just play on the PS3 but it's still a bit annoying.

Woah woah... first of all XF is fundamentally identical to what it is now. What you probably read was one of the proposed changes that never really got approved... nah XF is identical to what it is now just some values decreased slightly and an exploit fixed with buffs. TACs aren't useless now either... they are more practical and less "random" in their usage plus no more infinites. We even removed the side change mechanic.
 
The marvel patch should add a feature where if wolverine kills sentinel he goes "this one's for you morph" and then morph comes on screen and says "thanks bro" and then you could turn him into any character in the game and play as them

even galactus
 
At Mikado they recently had a weekend long event for ACPR. It happened the same weekend as Evo so I didn't hear about it till after the fact. They had three days of play consisting of:

7/13: Same Character 3on3, Ladies Tournament, 3on3
7/14: Newcomer’s Tournament, Haisha Kyuushu Tournament
7/15: Random 7on7

Same Character 3on3
The format was a 3v3 teams (some teams do have a fourth member however) and all the same character for each team. It was really fun to watch these match ups and some of the teams were really stacked (which isn't surprising considering the location). The Faust team was pretty much three of the top Faust players in Nage, Kissha (Arc Revo Winner) and OsakaB for instance. There was also a bit of a return from players I hadn't seen play the game in a long time such as Machaboo's Ky <3 and Kitamura's Dizzy. Unfortunately not every match was shown but there is good play from the stream footage. Playlist for the whole batch if you want to just get into the action.

Uki, NOB, Roi(Sol) vs Kuno, JUN, Nakamura(Millia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfr3Lt7LOL8 Part 1 (17m)
-Uki's Sol is quite entertaining.

Rin, Manyou, Makki, Kitamura(Dizzy) vs Konsome, Haaken, FAB(Potemkin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNvBW0dqxHk Part 2 (19m)

Samitto, Endou, Chappu(Chipp) vs Jonio, UMA, MK(Johnny)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzwXi3ZV7Yc Part 3 (8m)

TORI, Jyashin MOX, Oppia(Baiken) vs Yachisu, Yuuta, Bobushii(Kliff)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhS6B6gWs0 Part 4 (13m)

Rin, Kitamura, Makki, Manyou(Dizzy) vs Hamenchu, Hota, Hossa(Justice)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPc61bljvvM Part 5 (13m)

Samitto, Endou, Chappu(Chipp) vs Keiichi, Touji, O2(Axl)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SQiFHrVvcY Part 6 (8m)

Machaboo, Hayashi, Ain(Ky) vs XTC, HEVEN, Fino(Venom)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIQZhEFN9n8 Part 7 (14m)
- This match was the big highlight for me as a biased Ky player. A great showcase of three strong Ky players against a fairly tough match up in Venom. Lots of great instances throughout the video and I like the variance of approaches between the players.

OsakaB, Yuki, Nage, Kiisha(Faust) vs Natsume, Kisshi, Kazuki(Dizzy)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6egeltCzljc Part 8 (19m)
- I'm really surprised that the Dizzy team was able to get through this one especially against that line up of Fausts.

Uki, NOB, Roi(Sol) vs Masaki, Hato, Tsubu(A.B.A)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-01edhV9aw Part 9 (19m)

Grand Finals
Masaki, Hato, Tsubu(A.B.A) vs Machaboo, Hayashi, Ain(Ky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKkMTk7sN1k Part 10 (11m)
-Machaboo, you should get back into this game again~

Newcomer&#8217;s Tournament
It's always good to see new faces pick up any fighting game and the level of play here is no slouch. Features players like Jonio (Johnny) himself, Hiro (Anji), Yaxl (Axl), Yuuta (Jam), Kuma (Testament), Gero (Zappa) and various others. Playlist.

Haisha Kyushuu Tournament
The format of this tournament starts off as a regular 1v1 in the first round but the gimmick is that the winner of the match 'absorbs' the loser into their team. The winner of the match becomes the anchor or captain of the team. So in the next round you'll have 2 person teams and the absorption process continues (the captain of the previous team is absorbed) until it reaches a team cap. When the cap is reached I believe the next person absorbed into the team replaces another already on the team (Not exactly certain on those details). So it's a interesting spin on team tournaments where you collect those you defeat into your stable of fighters (pokemon style?). Playlist.

Hiraoka(Ky) vs Kedako(May) || O2(Axl) vs Hirorin(Sol) || Yarepiyo(Sol) vs FAB(Potemkin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgoW45LaRPs Part 1 ( 12m)
-May stun combos~

Toyo(Potemkin), Shibukawa(Venom) vs Melon(Eddie) || Taka(Anji) vs Fino(Venom) || L(Johnny) vs Ginji(Ky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx-4bgq78OM Part 2 (13m)

Woody(Testament) vs Mossan(A.B.A) || Jonio(Johnny) vs Makki(Dizzy) || Ceylon(Testament) vs Gero(Zappa) || Kuni(Baiken) vs En(Slayer) || Taka(Anji), Fino(Venom) vs Garo(May), Tanabata(Slayer)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8KxOtb49TM Part 3 (22m)
-Wow En punishing Kuni's Tatami with a half screen Dead on Time! Also Tanabata with a big comeback in the second round with Taka.

Katsupiyo(Sol), Teresa(Jam) vs Rei(Chipp), Hiro(Anji) || AYA(Baiken), Manyou(Dizzy) vs Sharia(Faust), 2rio(I-No)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epU02Va64mo Part 4 (15m)

Ceylon(Testament), Gero(Zappa) vs Okomesu(Slayer), Matsui(Zappa)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVZAsNjvG-4 Part 5 (8m)
-Haha that start on the Zappa mirror.

Tanabata(Slayer), Taka(Anji), Fino(Venom) vs Trust(Johnny), Yarepiyo(Sol), FAB(Potemkin), Kishitaka(Sol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YQ_3BdXzE0 Part 6 (15m)
-Wow that Dead on Time frc from Tanabata to punish the burst. Strong play as well against FAB's Potemkin.

Roi(Sol), Lark(May), sora(Sol), Samitto(Chipp) vs Matsui(Zappa), Ceylon(Testament), Gero(Zappa)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRAHvvGOVdg Part 7 (18m)
-Roi's sequence after this blocked burst, wow at all those gunflame strings. Gero from the Newcomer's tournament does quite well against Roi, Lark and sora but then meets Samitto (and does very well there too) but that Chipp is too much.

Gero(Zappa), Roi(Sol), sora(Sol), Samitto(Chipp) vs Yachisu(Kliff), En(Slayer), Konsome(Potemkin), Chonari(Zappa)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9-tjv6tBKw Part 8 (20m)
-En's burst bait punish is serious. En and Samitto's match was so exciting!

O2(Axl), Jonio(Johnny), Nakamura(Millia), Melon(Eddie), Shibukawa(Venom) vs Samitto(Chipp), Yachisu(Kliff), En(Slayer), Konsome(Potemkin), Chonari(Zappa)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAjahu5PFmQ Part 9 (22m)
-Nakamura's Millia~ This dustloop really woke me up. "D! D! D!..."

Grand finals
Chonari(Zappa), O2(Axl), Jonio(Johnny), Nakamura(Millia), Melon(Eddie), Shibukawa(Venom) vs NOB(Sol), Kedako(May), Kishitaka(Sol), Tanabata(Slayer), Taka(Anji), Fino(Venom)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EgMD9CWRG8 Part 11 (13m)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG6cNCWvm8s Part 12 (16m)
-Chonari vs Kedako has a tight finish. Zappa is such a monster.
-Is this like the GG version of umeshoryu fadc ultra?! Tanabata you beast.
-Let's go Jonio Johnny! Replaced Makki on the team but in the end he was the key player!

Random Mikado Casuals

Roi (Sol) VS Ain (Ky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRdBvnfR-yA (19m)
-Very rarely do I see time out draw games in GG but it's pretty hype when it happens at 7:21 in this set.

AGF (Anji) VS Sanma (Order Sol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg_dKE9M2Ss (14m)

KON (Axl) VS Ain (Ky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykgKJOvMiAk (17m)

Roi (Sol) VS Satou (Johnny)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee6tsFqG8AI (14m)

Sanma (Order Sol) VS Satou (Johnny)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlPIg4gvjiI (16m)
-Sanma's pressure was amazing in this set. Satou wasn't able to get his Enkasu combos much. I wonder if hitting them on Order Sol is a bit harder? Satou did start to opt for Divine Blade knockdowns instead.

AGF (Anji) VS Roi (Sol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXUzNlRH6xc (16m)

Ain (Ky) vs Nakamura (Millia), AGF (Anji), Nana Yu (Slayer) Sanma (Order Sol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS76IH-AepE (17m)

012 (Sol) VS Uki (Sol), Kishi Taka (Sol), NOB (Sol), Ain (Ky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItiKE4bj_P0 (14m)
-A Sol bananza. High damage dustwinder loops everywhere. I haven't seen 012 play in a long time but he still looks great. Really sick Slashback punish by Uki at ~2:14.

----------------

Whew. The 7on7, Ladies Tournament and 3v3 hasn't been uploaded yet but when they are I'll make another summary. Anybody who enjoys Guilty Gear (or has a passing interest) should give this a look. Real fun event to watch and I would have loved to watch it live if it wasn't on Evo weekend.
