If you put the hours into that which you put into Dota you probably could be. A person can only have so many (like one) of these types of hobbies in their life.

We're two weeks away from a tournament where the winners will walk away with a million dollars each.

Not if you count taxes and team fees.

The difference is, I treat DOTA like a mixture of work and play. I enjoy putting in the work so I don't mind putting in the time.

When I played EXVS and went into the training room to practice some combos, all I can think of is: "This is not fun. This is rote exercise in the vague hope that it will result in fun sometime in the indefinite future."

fuck team fees

 

[Tagyhag]

I haven't been keeping up with competitive DOTA in a loooooong time.

ROTK and Burning aren't retired? Guess it's time to root for EHOME and Invictus.

I'm glad, I thought I wasn't going to have a horse this year.

I'm also happy that even the last 2 teams will get some money, it always was pretty sad seeing them leave home empty handed.

Probably. To be honest though, the mechanical skills involved in fighting games are the exact stuff that limits me in Dota. I'm not good at really twitchy games. Especially ones that are so punishing to misplays. I've been itching to try fighting games again, though, so perhaps something will stick and I'll git gud.

As the great Darryl Koh once said: Dota is like eating. You don't retire from eating.

combos are the last thing you need to worry about in a fighting game, tbh

spacing and recognizing danger zones will do a lot more for you than you x number of hours in the training room

 

[Haly]

I can't even QCF consistently on the left side, cut me some slack okay.

 

[Pratfall]

i find practicing fighting games boring cuz you are on your own. I don't mind putting time into dota cuz I am usually playing with friends.

I can't do the footsies.

I miss school when footsies meant flirting with your feet.

yeah, this is another issue. I know like 2 people who are in to fighting games, neither of which I'm close to.

Everyone always says that, but I always feel like I'm clumsily trying to play without doing the fancy combos I see everyone else do.

Also I don't enjoy or take an interest in SF4's style of footsies. I prefer "anime" fighters where if you're not looping for 30 seconds you ain't shit.

 

[G-Unit]

wait, can anyone summarize(sp?) the ihl2-ihl3 interlude thoughts?

What does "looping" mean in this context?

I think I'll pick up skull girls. That way even if I'm garbage I can still enjoy looking at some of the nicest art in recent games

 

[Haly]

A long combo string followed by some kind of reset and then you go through the string all over again. Otherwise when you finish your combo they're grounded.

I'm thinking specifically of P4A's One More Cancel and TvC's Baroque.

oooh I understand. I didn't have a word for this, good to know.

As far as anime fighters I actually haven't enjoyed P4A so much (speaking from a spectator standpoint, of course). I think it might be that Persona seems to be fucking everywhere and I'm tired of seeing it, but the teddy spam doesn't help.

 

[sleverfunk]

fuck this game.

Try getting a 12369(bottom left to top right) motion to work, I get it 4/10 times max. I also still suck at DP > FADC > Ultra.

I'm getting flashbacks of trying to SJC Ibuki's ultra 2. Goddamn that input was stupid.

[Drkirby]

honestly, the hype is real

27k peek players on PC, Seems pretty low to me. And on PS4, they gave the game away for free (Though it does seem to have 100k people playing it there). I will be shocked if the game isn't dead by October.

Anime fighters tend to have longer combos to practice so it's interesting that you prefer them, Haly.

Either way if the execution hurdle is a problem, that thunder rising game they pimped at EVO is trying to get rid of that stuff. I find practicing combos fun but I'm not very good at them.

 

[Acti]

Just practice if you want to get good.

Watching any game with qop is insufferable. How her blink hasn't been nerfed is beyond me.

This guide is pretty good and a lot of it can be applied to other fighting games.

time to binge Bojack Horseman S2

Only 7 episodes in so far, it's pretty good but not as good as S1 for me so far.

Also, I thought tickets were arriving today but I guess they are just being mailed out today. Don't understand why someone in Seattle got tickets on Friday though.

it's so fucking good. also holy shit at ep 8 and especially 11. never expected to like the show but it's super well written
