$5000 every month?!?! Daaaamn, poor guys, that sucks.....I feel for those guys, trying to keep those things alive these days is too damn hard, sadly =/

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sounds...not profitable for the game but pretty awesome.

It'll build goodwill in the long run with the intent on getting them to buy season two.

Microsoft giving the new KI with all of the characters free to dedicated Xbox members.

Wow, that's a great look. Good on MS.

Sounds...not profitable for the game but pretty awesome.

My guess is that this was done as a promotion for the XBox One, and not by Double Helix; that said, I'd guess the money for the units would probably be moved from XBox One advertising to DH for units that were given out for free.

Edit: It's a gaming cafe. Yeah, that's a tough business to be in.

 

[Booter]

Persona had other issues as well ... First thing they do is go through character select. If they don't like any of the characters visually, then there is even less incentive to play.

I think this is the genuine issue at hand with so many games: they just have unappealing character design and/or bad graphic design. Like, Tekken for example, to me, and I'm sorry if this is offensive or ignorant, it just looks like shit. It looks like a dark, blocky piece of crap. I think Tobal #2 looks *WAY* better than TTT2. SF4 looks like a fun, fluid cartoon, it's visually appealing.

For a game to be a hit it has to have fun, easy-to-learn-yet-hard-to-master gameplay in tandem with great character design and graphics.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Harada fix your freaking game so it stops taking over our threads.

Who did this and why

 

[Tik-Tok]

Microsoft giving the new KI with all of the characters free to dedicated Xbox members.

So does that mean the game is basically free then?

CAPCOM RELEASED THE WINNERS OF THE UMVC3 CAPCOM CUP POOL

LOL the EVO champ didn't made it, but it's a pretty solid list

 

[sixteen-bit]

So does that mean the game is basically free then?

Doesn't include the consume DLC or anything, but yes. Functionally free for XBL loyalists.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

yo, KBR

CAPCOM RELEASED THE WINNERS OF THE UMVC3 CAPCOM CUP POOL

If I'm reading that right those are the 8 going to Capcom Cup. Flocker got screwed

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Flocker vs Infirit for Most Irrelevant Mahvel Player Money Match

 

[MechaX]

yo, KBR

Wait a minute... so no player was really "on lock"?

Poor Flocker.

 

[biosnake20]

Triforce is gonna blow up on OBS.

 

[jbug617]

Wait a minute... so no player was really "on lock"?

Poor Flocker.

Capcom don't care about Marvel. The other 2 EVO champs got in but Flocker can't

 

[Horseress]

So, reading ABEGEN's profile, there's this:

Will his anchor She-Hulk take him to the first annual Capcom Cup title?!

So it will be an annual thing....was that already announced?

 

[racketpunch]

Ugh, I really hope that's not going to be the 8 chosen for capcup.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Capcom should've stepped in and invited Flocker because that list is a joke the way it is now.

 

[casperOne]

Capcom don't care about Marvel. The other 2 EVO champs got in but Flocker can't

Capcom didn't pick these, these were determined by fan vote.

So, reading ABEGEN's profile, there's this:


So it will be an annual thing....was that already announced?

I wouldn't read too much into that. The way it's presented it definitely seems like it will be an annual thing, but I would wait for official word.

Ugh, I really hope that's not going to be the 8 chosen for capcup.

It is.

 

[fader]

damn Nemo!..

 

[jbug617]

It shocks me that there was a possibility that Chris and F Champ wouldn't have made the list. People really thought there were locks

 

[onionfrog]

yo, KBR

This is not a bad lineup.
I think I might've preferred Flocker over Marlinpie.
But there is a lot of variety here! I'm excited to see Nemo, KBR and Abegen.

Spoiler

Until the inevitable Chris G, that is.

 

[racketpunch]

It shocks me that there was a possibility that Chris and F Champ wouldn't have made the list. People really thought there were locks

There should have been at least one, Flocker. How can that list represent Marvel with no Zero players?

 

[biosnake20]

It's crazy to see that the EVO champ isn't in this. There really should have been a lock on a few players at least.

edit:

Peter Susini ‏@AGEFlash 4m
EVO CHAMP NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR CAPCOM CUP!?

Peter Susini ‏@AGEFlash 50s
I'm glad that a bum who won 2 FT15s but lost left and right to randoms and almost lost to mike ross in tournament is #1 on the list lol

 

["God's Beard!"]

Nobody's gonna remember Flocker's win. Daigo didn't win 3rd Strike in 2004 but that's the defining moment for the fgc.

All people are gonna remember about Marvel in 2013 is Justin's rampage.

 

[Horseress]

I'm just sad RayRay didn't make it, but it's a pretty solid list, I was scared that we'll ended up having a bizarre combination of "hype" players, but of the gods just Flocker didn't made it. And it's like this is the new EVO and he'll be dethroned or anything, so no big deal IMO.

Also, do we already know the tourney's format? I hope it's not just an usual top 8

It's crazy to see that the EVO champ isn't in this. There really should have been a lock on a few players at least.

edit:

It was a pool, and I BET Flash didn't voted for Flocker

 

[Horseress]

ops, sorry, DP

 

[DryEyeRelief]

yo, KBR

I got 7 out of 8 right!

 

[Clawww]

That sucks for Flocker, I'm also sad there's no Zero in the pool

 

["God's Beard!"]

Why would Rayray get voted in? Marlinpie has crazier tech and Champ is a better Magneto. All bases covered.

I wanna see Marn vs Abegen and Yipes vs Neo money matches at FGTV after Capcom Cup.

 

[Jazz-ism]

you can in no way justify 2-3 of the people on that list being mentioned with the others...

spoiler KBR is one of them

turn off the fanboy goggles for a moment and think about it

I have $20 on Abegen

 

[commanderpepper]

Flocker is not in lol. I guess Zero doesn't bring the hype. In fact there are no Zeros here.

 

[Infinite]

Surprised but delighted to see marlin pie make it in. He and yipes got my votes.

 

[.la1n]

Chris G and FlipChamp, wow yeah so much hype :\

 

["God's Beard!"]

Chris G and FlipChamp, wow yeah so much hype :\

They need to be there to increase the odds of one of them fighting Nemo. Why do you think he was voted in? Because people like watching Nova so much?

 

[.la1n]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";88844478]They need to be there to increase the odds of one of them fighting Nemo.[/QUOTE]

While I do agree that it will be hype seeing Nemo take both of them on again I feel like the rest of the tourney will suffer by them being there. Oh well, can't be helped now.

 

[Kimosabae]

I thought SCV would've have been great had they not neutered the movelists and brought back Soul Charge. The latter mechanic was so interesting totally - blows my mind that they excised it all together.

I really liked SCV before they took out guard dash cancelling. The game had a very fluid movement system.

Huh? You mean step guard?


As for TTT2 - been arguing for a while now that FGs in general are too bloated and that this game is the poster child of that phenomenon. I think its a symptom of the AAA frontrunners influencing FG publishers that simply can't hope to compete in that space. I'd rather see smaller titles with 10-13 characters made with more modest budgets. I see FGs being totally digital in the future.

Looks like they could only get the Xbox One version of Justin Wong.

 

[Chavelo]

Wow... haha. Fuck winning a 1000+-man tournament in the span of two long ass days. All you need is to have a wacky ass team or just used to be a good, recognized player two years ago to make it in.

What a shit list.

 

[Lambda Pie]

that Twitch fix for euros is awesome. watching streams on Source quality with zero lag.

 

[JeTmAn81]

 

[xCobalt]

I'm surprised there are so many people butthurt over this. When the poll first opened up, they asked for the hypest players, not the best players. It's a solid list. ChrisG is probably the least hype player there but if he loses a match, we can probably expect a lot of hype.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Flocker vs Infirit for Most Irrelevant Mahvel Player Money Match

We are the real winners of that match.

Also Marlinpie has the best picture lol

 

[Horseress]

Oh man, the salt flowing on Twitter right now is delicious, very tasty

 

[EarlyEarly]

I'd like to see how many votes 9th got.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I'm still sad that Moons didn't make it.

 

[TheChits]

Wow I figured Chris, Champ, and Flocker were shoe ins. Oh well, that is a hype list regardless. Glad to see Japan get representation

 

[SloaneRisette]

Yeah. Realizing no one was a shoe in makes me sort of wonder how Chris got in.

 

[LordJim]

There was a conspiracy against FLocker so nobody would have to fight a Zero team.

All in all, this should be fun
