Fighting Games Weekly | Dec 9-15 | Funding Nemo? Not yet...

yea about to say, a lot of uh's and um's which can happen when put on the spot. Saw some blinking when answering that last question. Otherwise good stuff ultradavid

UltraDavid does say a lot of uhs and ums in regularly or at least that's what I remember when watching UltraChen TV.
 
Maybe drop trish for strider and play dante on point.

Trish/Dante/Strider or Dante/Trish/Strider is batshit insanity mode although it relies more on being relentless with pressure versus opening people up constantly with high/low unblockable setups. Ask Frantic.

Inside info from my boy who went to NEC. The 5th character is male, confirmed by Combofiend himself. The character is currently broken because his frame data hasn't been balanced yet, and Combo is working on the character every day.
 
yeah i'll be on al jazeera america to talk about the nsa spying on gamers. should be a 4-5 minute long interview with this guy aka one of the greatest american print & tv journalists alive, so, you know, dang. it's supposed to start at 8:10pm pacific time.

i think they actually don't have a stream unfortunately, at least not as far as i've found. it's funny, a lot of my family and friends can't watch me because so few of them have cable lol.

but yeah i'm brushing up on the various aspects of the nsa scandal and the legalities of things and thinking about possible answers to possible questions and looking through a bunch of video game forums and media to see people's responses. also i got a haircut, trimmed my beard by about an inch and a half, and put on something nicer than the blue hoodie/tshirt combo i had going on before. hopefully i won't look like an idiot!

ms and others are trying to fight back. although they are only fighting back since it's probably costing them future money but at least some are starting to stand up to the government.

Hey Deckard Cain, would you be willing to do the GAF player spotlight in OP for next week?

If you are, PM me the answers to those 9 questions in OP by Sunday.
 
You know, it's a damn shame Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom got slept on. It's seriously the best fighter Capcom put out this gen. It just feels really good to play.

Gene is the chosen one.
 
nsa spying on wow players ... wait what?

You just know a couple of guys at the NSA are pissed their little scam is over.

Supervisor: "So did you find anything yet?"
NSA guy: "Yeah I found a +4 flame sword this morning."
Supervisor: "I mean any terrorist activity?"
NSA guy: "Oh... no nothing yet, but I think we might really be onto something. I'll stick with it"
Supervisor: "Great job!"

*Goes back to getting paid for playing wow*

it was pretty serious back in the day. i remember hearing stories of people getting fired for playing wow during work time. now ... the game's just ass :l
 
her gimmick is gone. where'd you play at? super or nec?

Super. I'm glad vortex is gone, but I just don't think her tools are all that great. All I really want is faster walking speed like Akuma's or something. I want 3rd Strike speed, not SF4 Ryu speed with worse footsies.

I don't think she got anything worthwhile so far, so I'm hoping things will change. It's a shame since Ibuki doesn't really have that much of a special style besides some SJC styling/resets, so I might not use her in this version. Might just stick with Gen.
 
Nah had some real issues regarding Baroque and Mega Crash.
I think the Baroque system was interesting, but holy hell Mega Crash has to be the worst burst mechanic I have ever seen in my life. Yeah let's make it so you can burst with two bars and then combo off the burst (and if you're Zero, you even get a ton of damage from it). Why did 8ing think that was a good idea?

first time i've seen Flux looking like he took a shower.
And at a major in a hotel where the showers didn't have hot water, no less.

thanks for the info. yeah. her midrange game is okay but it usually gets beat out everything else. faster walk speed would be sick :D
 
I don't think that FGC documentary is going to reach its goal :[
Kind of bored of all of the FGC documentaries we've gotten. When I think it was HBTB started (but never continued?) doing short features on arcades, I thought that was much more refreshing and interesting.

Nah had some real issues regarding Baroque and Mega Crash.
Yeah TvC is good, but yeah stuff like Mega Crash makes it bullshit mechanically.

I wish stuff like giants had been tweaked or incorporated somehow into future fighting games, definitely thought that was a cool idea. PTX also should've made it into MvC3. but I guess by then more people had realized how far from the initial pitch that series had fallen.

This GIF needs to extend all the way until FChamp walks by waving the money.
