Fighting Games Weekly | Sept 16-22 | EVO does a 360 and walks away

Maybe people don't like sagat mirrors as much as I do, but anyway, you guys should watch the Bonchan vs Ryan Hart. Clutch match.

I agree, Bonchan vs Ryan Hart was even better than the Valle vs Daigo mirror match. I hope they do it again in the future.
 
yeah but it would be like calling out the Tim and Eric Show

his whole schtick is weirdness, and he's not exactly an important figure


It's not really about him. They could just get leverage by making some of the crazy shit he says a headline, then connecting it to Cross Assault, and watch the hits roll in.

Doesn't matter. They simply make it yet another example and over weight it. The concept of a weighted average seems to be pretty foreign to some.
 
It sucks that I couldn't watch the Unveiled tournament. Dang school! When's the Capcom Cup tournament and what time is it starting?
 
Just watched the exhibitions on Youtube. Infiltration is the new duppy. Daigo crafted a bunk bed coffin for Xian and Infiltration and lowered that shit into the ground.

I don't know where to put this in the exhibition body bag list but it might be top 5 just because of the name attached.
 
Akuma is weak. Do 10 hit combos and lands a billion hits and they still live only to get KOed by five tigercuts or one ultra and a poke.

And seriously congrats to Bonchan. The amount of weight he lost is staggering. He looks really good and healthy.

Akuma is actually still one of the more damaging characters from most confirms(jumpins, standing punishes, jab confirms, corner etc) up to 2 bar damage.
Ryu is slightly behind him in most cases.
Only issue is when it comes to using all his resources (since he cannot combo into super or ultra)

Sagat is rather low damage these days save for landing Ultra.
 
He hyped himself up by thinking the next Capcom announcement was gonna be DmC2 DMC5, but it's just an iOS version of Dragon's Dogma.
I honestly thought it would be either DMC5 or DD2... either way I thought it would a genuine console game by Itsuno. Turns out it's more iOS garbage.
 
NOW will you stop believing?

I will ALWAYS believe.
 
Just realized I gave Koogy a shoutout without shouting out the other awesome Art of Fighting contributors:

S-Kill hooked it up with animation cels and line drawing from the SF Animated Movie!


Combofiend with hella Capcom swag, games, and fightpads!


Sega with Sega Cup shirts, VF5 arcade cards, VF5 launch shirts signed by Fuudo and Chibita, and super rare EVO 2012 VF5 stick!


All this plus help from our local game shop, Gamers Anonymous, food from local business, chairs from all over, setups from the community, and everyone posting/tweeting/facebooking! Plus iam8bit giving us some super sweet pieces to hang with the local art in the gallery. FGC and just regular gaming communities are coming through big time on this!

I'll do my best to keep everyone here updated, unless you're sick of me. Not sure if I should make a thread the day of/day before or not...promoting your own stuff seems to be verboten on GAF.

For now, I guess I'll leave you with one of our art piece (in progress) from GAF's own The Take Out Bandit!
Awesome stuff all around.

BTW if its in the name of charity, I don't think promoting your own stuff is frowned upon. Happens all the time on GAF, in gaming and off-topic. I would say put the thread up a day before just so people are aware beforehand.

If you can, shoot me a PM before next week and/or when you put up the thread so I can put it in this thread for that little bit of extra exposure to the 2 people that read this thread's OP :P
 
I can't believe you honestly thought a new large scale Dragon's Dogma was a possibility.
You really think they're gonna compete with themselves off the bat?
 
I don't understand getting hyped for a capcom announcement. Capcom wants everything they release to sell several million copies, and when they do they are disappointed because they didn't sell the right amount of millions. What did Resident Evil 6 do, 5~ish million? Because capcom wasn't satisfied.

So what games are they going to make with goals like that? iOS tripe and the occasional big box retail release (likely in the 'fight big monsters fantasy rpg' or 'third person modern shooter' genres). Megaman isn't dead because capcom didn't believe it could be profitable - megaman is dead because he can't be profitable in the millions.

They could've just teased it or announced it, didn't say anything about showing game play footage or having a release date coincide with Deep Down.

For reference, DMC4 was announced only 2 months after DMC3SE's release. Obviously no real work had been done on the game by that time and it was just a a 5 second CG teaser announcement but it was something!

As far as I am concerned they are already competing with themselves by announcing 2 iOS RPGs. Well 3 if you count BOF6 as well.
 
How many times do I have to tell you fools. Before you get hyped up for any announcement of an announcement in this day and age, assume it's some iOS shit.
 
The iOS market is gigantic.
Bigger than any console and handheld gen (both ends combined).

Plus, with games being cheap to make, they could announce like a dozen and still be ok.
They're not gonna make the returns that they would on traditional gaming systems, but it would also be much easier to crack a profit.

This is what makes me think that we'll go 10 years without a true fighting game from capcom. In my mind v2013 is the last from them. They miiiiiiiiight patch sfxtk, but that's slim.

If I'm wrong, call me a buster

We go through the same song and dance when E3 rolls around every year. The ones who refuse to listen are always going to be in for disappointment (not talking about dahbomb).

also what I was thinking. Arksys will guide us to the next golden age of fighting games. Maybe snk/atlus will help who knows
 
Yes, dreams are fun.
The dream is dead.

The poor balance in the vanilla release and on disc DLC fiasco for SFxT really was a shame.
Because the game is honestly pretty fun after the 2013 patch. I think it would have been a lot more popular if those two issues hadn't killed most people's interest in the game right from the start.
