chrisg, flocker, hopefully capcomfiend, and rest of fgtv.
Really? I could swear they said invite only...but anyway, I'm pleased with Capcom's decision, and honestly, this 15000 BP requirement is well needed, 'cause if not, OnlineScrubJoe could subscribe to the qualifier with his 430 BP. It's not like they are making it hard for Sethlolol, they probably didn't knew he doesn't have any BP's, whice is hella weird IMO

I hope Fart_Master_420 makes it.

Yeah, these rules are really silly. I can understand why they'd do it but ultimately, it's leaving a lot of folks out in the cold. Good Canadian players won't be able to compete and multiple top JP players won't either like Uryo and Esuta.
Also, 15000 BP is gonna be nigh impossible now, especially for the PS3 version because it's almost a ghost town nowadays. Seth doesn't own an xbox as I recall.

I know. I was wondering if Seth got one in the last two months really. I have his phone number and we talked a lot at Evo, heh.

ah. yea I met him a couple times when I lived in ann arbor couple years ago.
Be curious to hear his thoughts on this. (I'm hoping he had to decline, rather than he wasn't asked first.)

lol "in all honesty all you had to do was use the laser"
They're still supporting this game? I'm genuinely and pleasantly surprised.
This is amazing. It sucks I had to miss Canada Cup.
The game hasn't even been out for a year. SF4 is still the gold standard in terms of long term support.
LMAO @ Eventhubs.
Jesus christ that is ridiculous.

But SF4 has never been supported, only replaced.
Alrigh alright SSF4 then.

Support is free.
SSF4 was replaced with AE which is replaced with Ultra.
If you don't pay, you are outdated and the playerbase splits.
(I'm saying support is free patches)

What about BlazBlue?
I thought they would have dropped support after Evo and start working on their next project for the new consoles.
2012 Edition was a free balance patch.
There were also a few adjustment patches here and there that were free throughout the life of SSFIV and AE.

If support is free, then Lab Zero will probably take the cake when all is said and done.

But dlc characters
Slamtastic

Yeah, and if you could get the AE and Ultra changes to the characters you already had in Super through a free balance patch without being forced to pay for new characters you might not want, then SF4 would have been supported as well as NRS games.
You shouldn't be forced to buy them if you don't want any of them, and you should be able to buy individual ones if you want some but not all. Another thing for Capcom to learn.

If I don't buy them I'm outdated because I dunno what these things do.

On the plus side, eventhubs added the ability to upvote and downvote comments, because obviously being more like reddit is what the site really needed

You can get matchup experiences in...matches.
What about DLC characters then?
Maybe if both games offered no new characters but the addition of characters muddles this whole thing up. Capcom has the capacity to patch for free but they package patch changes with new characters as an expansion. I don't see anything wrong with that especially when that means you can just by the latest disc and not have to worry about downloading patches for tournaments.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Or I can buy the character for 5 dollars and know more about the character than the goober I played who doesn't have the character.
These people are using windows media player yuck
I don't think the market for those videos exists here.

I did for $5 but thats because my card was gonna expire tomorrow and tomorrow the price of stuff was going to go up a lot. As far as the tips go, there is some legitimately good stuff in there but without game play footage its just not that impactful. If you don't play Marvel and don't play FChamps characters about half of the whole video is worthless to you. I mean yeah I guess you will get some data about Doom/Dorm weaknesses but the tutorials were mostly geared towards you using those characters versus you fighting them. Honestly I would be way more interested in Dormammu only FChamp mega tutorial like they sort of implied. The whole thing was just at times too broad/not specific for players who already play those games or other times too specific for newcomers. They should just focus on very specific character tutorials or game tutorials because I can't see anyone getting better from watching these. At best they will probably motivate you when you listen to FChamps training regimen and his road to becoming a top player, some surprising stuff as to how he got into the FGC.
The videos do cover some interesting topics like there was a whole section where FChamp explained "footsies" in Marvel and gave tri dashing as an example. He said that the major difference between SF and Marvel is that there is a big vertical plane you have to account for in Marvel and in Marvel better footsies lead to better advantage and set ups instead of getting direct damage off of punish. His example was that if one Magneto players does tri dash j.H and whiffs versus another Magneto who reactz with a properly spaced and times tri dash j.H of his own... the second Magneto player does not get a punish instead he makes the other Magneto player block the tri dash and be at a massive advantage in terms of set up and situation. Thats what footsies are in Marvel.. its movement and spacing leading into better advantage/set ups versus direct damage which is harder to understand for someone new to fighting games trying to apply the footsie definition to Marvel.

I'm glad it took them 5 patches to get a rematch from pause screen/quick rematch option and focused more on nerfing Deathstroke and Scorpion.

The side bets at Canada cup yesterday were real as fuck
Won 150 riding the xiao hai train.
Won 75 on champ resetting the grand finals bracket and another 75 when he won the whole thing
Got 1:1 odds on Canada vs America in team tournament. After Canada lost the first two, I got 2:1. After the next one lost, I got 3:1. I putt 50 on chi rithy
Won close to 600 on side bets throughout the whole tourny

I waited and I waited to see if they were going to do an after-hours stream, saw nothing and went to bed.
How could I miss this live, oh shit - drunk Mago dropping the truth with Gootecks and PR Rog yukking it? I'm still laughing after watching both videos!
