I want to do 2-ban theorycraft now.

Justin Wong - Wolverine/Spencer
FChamp - Dorm/Phoenix
ShadyK - Vergil/Doom
PRRog - Wolverine/Vergil
ChrisG - Morrigan/Doom
Flocker - Zero/Vergil
Nemo - Nova/Strange
Dieminion - Joe/Morrigan
Yipes - Vergil/Spencer
Viscant - Phoenix/Wesker


Done.

2 character ban screws over a lot of players, they basically have to construct completely new teams.

I'd actually ban Wesker over Morrigan for ChrisG, to take away his secondary shell.

I mean, the whole point is to get people out of their comfort zone.

 

[Professor Beef]

Everyone should just have a pocket Team Armor.

Also, I'm happy about that Mega Man news. Finally, all you complainers have a new game!

 

[jbug617]

Justin mostly plays his Wolverine, Storm and Akuma team. I would take out Wolverine and Akuma.

 

[Dahbomb]

His secondary shell is not that good, beatable by most players and teams. If you keep his Morrigan in he can still construct a good team around her.

The reason you ban Justin's Spencer is that aside from his Wolverine/Akuma team he rarely ever plays Akuma and he has a bunch of dangerous Spencer teams. Banning Wolverine and Spencer basically bans out 3-4 of his teams.

I'm thinking of returning to BB with this game, it actually looks pretty good. Unlike the previous iterations.

Same for me. I dabbled in BlazBlue but was never into it. This new version addresses all the issues I had with previous versions. Valle is also gonna put the Japanese verion on WNF when it comes out apparently so hopefully more new players will be into it

 

[Dahbomb]

FChamp : "Apologyman when you come here we gonna ban your god damn Piccolo!"

 

[toddhunter]

It is, but I don't think it is beatable by most players "secondary" team.

i spat out my aloo gobi when i heard this

 

[Dahbomb]

LMAO Shuma ban...

Is this real life?

FChamp has this tournament in the bag. He would win this even with 3 character bans.

Speaking of, what's the cheapest deal on BBCP you guys have found? I was thinking of buying it digital so I wouldn't have to deal with importing fees, but the prices for JP PSN cards are so high in most places that I might as well just bite the bullet on importing fees from Play-Asia or AmiAmi.

 

[Jazz-ism]

Hide yo lolis, hide you waifus, anime fighters are coming for everybody. ArcSys, Examu, and French Bread all making moves whereas Capcom and Namco are stuck in the free-to-play tarpit (with SNK as a wildcard right now and Sega doing Sega things). It wouldn't surprise me if Evo 2014 ended up turning into some weird battle between anime fighters and some unholy alliance between NRS and the ghost of Rare.

what in gods name are you talking about? french bread is RETARDED

 

[The Last Emperor]

LMAO Shuma ban...

this dude doesnt even play shuma lol

he just told champ he does and champ banned him not wanting to deal with shuma

 

[jbug617]

Haven't paid attention but is BBCP getting any DLC characters? I don't want to make a JPN account (already have HK account).

 

[Seyavesh]

Apparently they asked on twitter how they'd go about contacting steam to get Melty Blood and UNIB on there.

Yeeaaaaah......

This is an idea I can get behind.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

This is the end is the funniest movie in a while.

Made me laugh out loud in the theater, which I haven't done in a long while.

Yeeaaaaah......

oh man i take back what i said then...they might actually be showing signs of learning !?

 

[Dahbomb]

Oh shit Magneto and Frank bans.

 

[cajunator]

Seeing the images of Heart in the engine test makes me think she was ripped straight out of 3D Custom Girl (and how everything from that program will probably be dumped into EF-12). If you don't know what that is, I would advise you to not Google that at work.

That 3D engine should get interesting real quick, especially as a lot of the mesh/texture/animation data from a number of 3D fighters has already been ripped. Watch, some jerkbag is going to take all of the animation and move data from VF5:FS and swap in Arcana Heart models.

Spoiler

And that someone may not even be me!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yes please!!
Make this. Make itttttttttttttt
*bounces

 

[alstein]

At least 2- Kokonoe and Kagura, I think Terumi is pre-order DLC, so 3 maybe. They might announce more.

 

[Dahbomb]

Wow @ these people not banning PRRog's Wolverine....

 

[Rhapsody]

Kagura's actually a story unlock. So only 2 so far.

 

[Edgeward]

I just want anime games on PC. And Virtua Fighter

I'd rather Arcana stay 2d, that 3d engine just looks too much of a H-Game


Anyway, I got this code for Mafia 2 but I already played it a long time ago and beat it. If anyone has been wanting to play it and has a gaming pc let me know by quoting this saying you want it. It's a nice game that has a real pretty world even if it's barren with little to no sidequests, with okay shooting and cover mechanics and there a few dull missions like driving from A to B and tailing. But the characters are great and the story is good so if you play it linear and not expect an open world game than it's quite a good game. So it's like GTA4 from a main mission perspective but the driving doesn't feel like U-Boats

Man I really should have taken those Don't Believe His Lies images to heart

I wanna buy P4A on PC.

 

[Dahbomb]

How the hell are you not gonna ban ShadyK's Vergil?

God damn at these ban choices..

 

[Passive Assassin]

rigged ban choices.

 

[Dahbomb]

LMAO @ putting Strider 2nd to protect DA GAWD!

ShadyK using maximum scumbag tactics.

 

[OceanBlue]

Getting PSN cards for those characters is going to be a pain, but I don't want to wait for the US version. :<

 

[MarkMan]

you're the best, bud! safe travels to you!

Thanks David, see you soon!

 

[MarkMan]

MarkMan, will the Eurogamer Expo Mad Catz Unveiled be streamed?

Should be, yes.

Also, we will definitely be doing more stuff like this in the future.

How do we top the last set of exhibition matches?

We are already thinking...

dude if you want i can get cards for you at a cheaper rate man. i have a 7-11 right across the street from my place just lemme know what you want and paypal me the money

 

[Dahbomb]

Damn so many Taskmasters, Spencers, Weskers and Caps today.

I guess people fallback to the next most derp characters when you ban their shit.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Should be, yes.

We are already thinking...

mud wrestling. real boxing matches. ryan hart bboy battles. wrasslin. something eurocentric to fit the theme. maybe free fish n chips at the booth?

 

[MechaX]

It's funny that Fchamp is saying that the bans are more meant to help out the scene. It's admirable that they're trying to take steps to do so in lieu of Capcom issuing a balance patch, but I really have to wonder how long this will last (especially if players start to fall back on "good, but just slightly not as good" characters and we start running into the same problem as before).

Spoiler

Personally, people should take this opportunity to just learn BBCP while it's good.

 

[The Last Emperor]

tokido vs justin wong vs chris g in a round robin setting in AE, Marvel and SFxT

 

[Jazz-ism]

a round robin exhibition of the 5 gods in ae would be good...

 

[Dahbomb]

My god when will people learn that they gotta ban ShadyK's Vergil!

It's an easy weekly for him if he gets to play Vergil against other player's secondary teams.

 

[Frantic]

"Yo dawg, Dante becomes godlike when there's no Magneto!" I lol'd. ShadyK's got a really strong rushdown/pressure Dante. Bit too reckless at times, and not reckless enough at others. Kinda funny to me how that is.

 

[The Last Emperor]

stream chat too godlike

"What do you ban from Infrit? Nova because his is strong or Strange so he doesn't make a fool of himself on stream?"

 

[Passive Assassin]

tokido vs justin wong vs chris g in a round robin setting in AE, Marvel and SFxT

Daigo vs Cabbage and Infiltration vs Juso. FT50's.

 

[Dahbomb]

Even with the ban rule I am pretty sure Vergil and Doom were most played characters... ROFL!

Well at least no Vergil in GF.

That final set was pretty amazing! Didn't think ShadyK would pull through.

Damn banning Champ's Magneto really fucks him up bad, he has to have his Dorm and Phoenix do all the heavy lifting.

 

[Frantic]

ShadyK is godlike. Hope he actually competes in more majors now that he's a part of Complexity.

 

[Dahbomb]

Yea that was a great strategy at the end by him. Dude chokes it up sometimes but his execution and in game knowledge is pretty insane.

Still shocked it took GF for someone to ban his Vergil and it came down to 6-5 in a Strider vs Phoenix anchor showdown. Very interesting stuff its just too bad most players played really sloppy due to playing their B/C tier teams.

Doom don't care about your bans, he still wins.

 

[Azure J]

"Yo dawg, Dante becomes godlike when there's no Magneto!" I lol'd. ShadyK's got a really strong rushdown/pressure Dante. Bit too reckless at times, and not reckless enough at others. Kinda funny to me how that is.

Kinda upset that I missed this now. I want to see what Dante are doing in the meta nowadays.

 

[IvorB]

Has this already been posted? Project EF-12; looks like mugen for 3d fighters.

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/24/p...y-customizable-3d-fighting-game-eng/#comments

Yay the 3D fighters are coming back!!

Edit: Well not quite but it's a start...

 

[OceanBlue]

dude if you want i can get cards for you at a cheaper rate man. i have a 7-11 right across the street from my place just lemme know what you want and paypal me the money

That'd be great! I'll try and remember that for when the DLC become available.

 

[Hyun Sai]

a round robin exhibition of the 5 gods in ae would be good...

Only 4 gods are playing AE.

 

[OceanBlue]

Only 4 gods are playing AE.

Nuki was playing Seth last year. Haven't seen him recently but that doesn't mean he stopped playing.
