Ok see, this is still being negative. Stop it. All this self sabotaging helps nobody.

I don't believe for a second that Capcom intended Firebrand to destroy your whole team off of one touch with an unblockable set up just like I don't think Capcom intended SF4 to be played with hard knockdown into unblockable set ups.
If that's a design feature of the game then there was no point in assigning nerfs in UMVC3 to begin with, stuff like Magneto's EMD is a joke compared to that. And games where stuff like that is in fact a feature then they are definitely not worth their time because it shows that the developer has no idea how to make fighting games.

84 for skullgirls and 55~ for sc5, nice. Not gonna miss those. 3s is looking pretty light, im guessing some people are going to cooperation cup instead.

My most anticipated titles for 2016, from the Gaming side thread; thought it would be interesting to talk about this over here:
1) Street Fighter V: I love fighting games, and this is going to be a big one.
2) The Last Guardian: when the trailer for this came on, my wife pulled the car over and we watched it together on my phone. Hype.
3) Persona 5: I still haven't finished P4G, but I have loved what I have played.
4) Dark Souls III: I still have to play DSII and the BB expansion, but I enjoy this series.
5) Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: the best story ever with good combat? I'm in!
6) Final Fantasy XV: hopefully this stores the series; I'll wait for reviews.
7) King of Fighter XIV: hopefully they make the game decent before release. I have my eye on this, which is a compliment in-of-itself.
8) Tekken 7: I'm unsure as to whether I'll get this, because we might get a new BlazBlue and Guilty Gear along with Street Fighter V next year. That would be a lot to focus on. I'm open to the game, though.
9) Valkyria: Azure Revolution: I have to a lot more to be convinced of a purchase, but I find the world interesting.
10) Killer Instinct Season 3: this is assuming that KI comes out on PC at some point next year. I will definitely pick this game up. I put it at #10 because its status is uncertain in my mind.
Special mention to wondering how Scalebound will turn out.
I think they knew about Firebrand's unblockable loop. What they might not have known about is the hard tag Doom combos and Doom infinites. Firebrand's design by himself doesn't break the game.

The FIRST thing I did when I found out that Firebrand has an unblockable is test it in combination with every pinning assist in the game. How could Capcom have not done the same?

Looking at the Street Fighter pools, looks like Nuckledu will be getting a pretty easy win.
Only other notables were K-Brad, Smug, Filipinoman and some of the other NLBC regulars.

Killer Instinct comes out for PC in March of next year. Unless something changes, then that should be the date.
How could Capcom not have figured out that when you turn on DT with Vergil in XF3 he gets XF5? That's one of the first thing I figured out in the game when I put it in my console.
The answer is that Capcom did not have time to balance test 50 characters in less than a year especially the newer ones when combined with other mechanics and synergies.
Just like how characters like Elena had messed up hurt boxes in USF4 when they first launched. And in that version they were only adding 4 characters, UMVC3 was adding 12 in less than 10 months.
Viper actually had a standing non TAC infinite in Vanilla that was nerfed/removed in UMVC3 (she got a new one in UMVC3 though). Capcom tried to remove/nerf as many long combos as they could find (they reduced the loops in the Dante combos for example, they also nerfed Magneto and Sentinel combos). They didn't get all of them of course. Fact of the matter is that game was not even close to being figured out in Vanilla for them to put out a complete balance patch. Hell the community didn't really figure out the game until a few years later.

Oh, great! Almost the entire cast appeals to me visually, so I just have to figure gameplay out. I always thought it would be Glacius, but Cinder and the mummy dude look pretty fantastic, and I was a Sabrewulf main back in the day.
Why assume they didn't know that?
She was a lazy port.
But we knew stuff that was left in.
Breh how you going to play it on your PC though?

The only thing I recommend is learning the game's combo system and how it works. The footsies are very much like Street Fighter. Only difference is that successful footsies can start a combo in KI.
Everything else is very character specific.
Also, you need to upgrade to Windows 10 to play KI when it releases.
Delete Diablo II to make space.

All these missed toaster opportunities.
Personally I would have went with something like "Well if phones can run win10, why not toasters"

Well they also made some of the west coat look like dram queens by putting shades on people.
There will be more than enough time for that while he's reinstalling all his drivers, rebooting, and asking Clippy for help.
To be fair to Die, he spent almost his entire 20s playing SF4.
Shit yeah, a whole quarter of his life, ofc he's disappointed

I love the pacing of both ST and 2002 (UM anyway) to bits. Got to play UM pretty much the whole evening at the weekly \o/
...my confirms were nonexistent ;__;
2k2 pacing is just amazing. Wish it was The Big Game.
Chun and O.Ryu. Mmm, those hitboxes.
https://twitter.com/STRhanasu/status/649740324882001924
Gief can stun you in one hit. Old Zangief's reversal SPD hits fullscreen. The game can randomly rob you of the right to do a reversal. Fireball pressure in the corner is evil. Throw loops galore. Fei can pretty much keep Chun stuck in almost gapless blockstun forever (3 reps of loop, Chun can gamble for a throw but Fei can counter with DP. If Chun misses, 3 loops again, eating ST-grade - that is to say, ridiculously high - chip damage).
Old Shotos (O.Ryu, O.Ken, Akuma) air tatsus' first active frame has a 50% chance to be unblockable.
The list goes on, and on, and on. ST is a really fun game to play, but it's also hilariously broken.
I don't know if Vega is good advice even. He just flat out loses the ground game in many of his matchups, and pretty much has to play as a walldive machine because his buttons' strength is in frame data and reach, not priority or payoffs from landing them.
This usually puzzles me a lot because KOF (2k2, 13) and Melee at least have a ton in common.

it kind of puts a new perspective on Triforce, where he's not just a clown who says dumb quotable things, but also someone who probably wasted years of several peoples' lives through vague promises and chronic mismanagement.
Nevermind how viable it is to quit your job to play games professionally, it's just super unfortunate that dieminion probably had a much harder time of it than most people who tried. Imagine where Justin would be right now if he didn't bail early on EMP and join EG as soon as he could.

Online play is mostly trash. A lot of play style modifications find their way in, or simply taking Ls if you insist on trying to play the same as you do offline. With the right connections, though, SF4 had some good moments online.
SFV has fared better so far from a netcode perspective, so I look forward to that despite the fact that being in LA means I'm not far from good matches pretty much whenever..

He hasn't been on his show recently. I've seen a couple of people hosting it which I found strange at the time. His show has drinking on it sometimes as it's a talk show with a relaxed atmosphere. He also has a show with KSK and Sentosu.
I would like Smash a lot more if i didn't have to play with an analog stick.

Getting 5-0'd to Kuckledu that night must have shaken him to the core.
Dieminion getting a bit dramatic there with the 8 years comment. Sounding like the old lady from Titanic.
He's not the only one who spent that long dedicated to a single game. There are people who played a lot but didn't even make it to Capcom Cup. It's a tough situation but this was the life that was chosen.

That last sentence sounds like a typical line in shonen anime directed at the main character.
Was it a Guile mirror or did Du play Decapre?

If he wasn't doing anything that's 7 years of no school and no career advancement. Since the whole SF4 thing didn't pan out I can understand him being really frustrated. This happens a lot in eSports where the end of a rope comes and people are left with nothing :T

This is why I will never say e-sports is some viable career path like some people like to pretend. Only for the high end and for a few. I'm sure he'll be back when he gets settled again.
Until they start giving out scholarships for e sports... Nah stay in school/don't quit your job.
And Dieminion didn't waste his 8 years if he was pursuing his dream. He may have not succeeded now but maybe later on he can win at a different game using the fundamentals he acquired over this time.

Heroes of the Dorm paid for the players' college career (or gave them $25k to pay student loans if they were seniors). Something like that for the college-going FGC would be super cool.

Applying for a job with a 7-year gap in your resume is much harder, even if you don't look for work in a particularly prestigious or demanding field.
The sad part is that spending the whole time on the East Coast and being tied to non-professional organizations like EMP and Yomi probably hasn't given him too many networking opportunities from his FGC success. He's not going to end up working for Twitch/Capcom/Iron Galaxy/etc. as a developer or community manager like a lot of FGC illuminati are doing right now.

I guess Villager's range...
