So my wife surprises me with changing our internet from cable to fiber optic, I finally get a Star Bound beta and now Combofriend shows USF4 stuff a new rumor about a Marvel patch?! What a weekend.

edit; I would love a UMvC3 in Xbone/PS4. I already bought 4 copies of the game, what's one more?

That's some wife you got...

Capcom cup prediction:

AE: Chris G
Marvel: CHRIS G
SFxT: CHRIS G!!

Man, Chris G is the best.

Dahbomb · Dec 9, 2013

If I'm remembering correctly, Dahbomb has a PHD... And he used to play Tekken.

I don't have a PHD but I am a MD. I think you have me confused with Karst, he's the one with the PHD.

So AE and UMVC3 finals at NEC looked boring when I peeked in yesterday. Was that the case? I stopped after the USFIV stuff.

My previous statement still stands.

If Karst has a PHD, why isn't he playing Tekken? kappa

Yo this would be enough for me to get a ps4 and tolerate paying for online play.

Er, most of them a little bit at least. But i guess mainly SC5, Tekken and P4A.
Lately i've been trying to get halfway decent at AE in preparation for USF4 but i'm having a hard time of it.

Unlucky · Dec 9, 2013

While I won't go as far as to predict him as the winner, I think Gackt is a dark horse to take AE. I was very impressed with his play at the Asia qualifier and I think he will at least beat several of the killers and go farther than anyone expects in Capcom Cup.

Kikujiro · Dec 9, 2013

AE Team tournament was good too, especially Smug vs PR Rog

supahkiwi · Dec 9, 2013

That's not really how it works. Netcode is netcode regardless of what platform you're on.

If you aren't using GGPO or something that works like GGPO, you're fucking up.

Cool. I don't play much of Tekken, Soul Calibur or Persona, but if you're on PSN and want someone to play AE against I'm also not very good at it.

My PSN is is the same as my username.
.. If you're on XBL, that's too bad.

Im kidding, but if you're on XBL I can't play you... I only have PSN

You need a good hardware to run a good rollback netcode, that's why KI feels so good online. It has the best netcode technology (rollback) and a system that can support it

It's not a coincidence that the first next-gen fg has the best netcode of all fg's

Certainly, you could just have a PHD in a useless field. But that's true for any type of Degree.

Against international killers, Chris G stands no chance in AE.
I'd be really surprised if he managed to win this.

If he's on his game, Chris G can beat anybody. Especially w/ sakura. The only one I think that could probably beat him almost everybody time is tokido, but I guess this all depends on bracket placement. That'll probably be the real key to who wins

Lambda Pie · Dec 9, 2013

the SF and UMVC3 GF were hypeless cause as soon as you saw the top 4 forming you knew collusion was coming.

i honestly feel Saturday is always the best day for tourmaments.

Infinite · Dec 9, 2013

I think the fei-longs can beat Chris rather easily. Chris G isn't a student of the game and he doesn't have Fei-longs to fight against at next level so he may be uncomfortable. That being said if Chris his game going it wouldn't matter too much with Sakura.

AquaSilk's post-bodybag stream tonight

Stream tonight!! 7:45pm EST, going to talk about NEC results, match with Sanford, and just have fun as usual! http://twitch.tv/aquasilk

Lost Fragment · Dec 9, 2013

Has anyone checked on Aquasilk? Is he OK? I'm imagining him sitting in a darkened room, eating out of a gallon ice cream container with a single tear rolling down his cheek right now.

Damn, just as I say that...

Thats just the character arc of AquaSilk; beloved grappler beaten badly by an overpowered character. His asian friend dusts him off and says
"You don't scare, I don't scare"

*Que training montage.

Are you kidding? Tokido is the one out of the seven he has the best chance against.

Extended answer tiem!
SC5 (Mitsurugi, Natsu. CASes though. Every game should have this feature imo),
Tekken (Kunimitsu, Asuka),
P4A (Yukiko, Labrys).
For AE i haven't really settled but it's looking like Juri might be doing well for me. Or maaaybe Chun.

Favorite character is actually hard to choose between Yukiko and Labrys. And i bet Yukari will be added to the list once P4U2 hits. She's cute. >.>

On a different note, i have a USF4 question for knowledgeable folks. I realize she might change from earlier incarnations, but what kind of character is Elena supposed to be? Pokey hit and run? Rushdown? I haven't played 3s or gave Capcom the extra euros for SFxT so...

DryEyeRelief · Dec 9, 2013

irfaanator said:

Matchup and style. Tokido a lot times loses because he gets too cheeky when applying offense. All Chris needs is that one mistake.

Kimosabae · Dec 9, 2013

The hype for Sanford was great but the actual matches were pretty sorry, imo. Not high-level at all, just 4 players going in on each other in an attempt to cater to the hype. Only player I'm confident Sanford would beat in a weighty match is Aqua. He would lose to Rog and Justin under typical circumstances.

I think Elena is more a poke character than anything else. She has long limbs, fast, good overhead (so far at least)

Got more than enough respek for Sanford. He's easily one of my favorite players.
