You are now a Florida man.
...good, I'm not the only one who did that. :X
Hopefully this doesn't completely explode in their face... they're going to need a lot more English-speaking communication if they want any shot of it succeeding. I guess it ultimately comes down to what sort of number they need to hit (although I think if they really do need to fully fund the port, they're in trouble).
At least the game is a relatively known quality.

IN. Been wanting to play as the final character for a LONG while now. Cannot wait for this to hit someday. I mean look at how fun Minori's combos are!

And thats even before throwing in her new Arcana that lets you send up tidal waves of blood for some really neat extensions and oki.

Everything I've seen says they are comparable.
The temperature is higher, for sure, though.
Humidity becomes exponentially worse with each increase in temperature.
If the temperature is still around room temperature the high humidity doesn't bother as much, you will just be a bit uncomfortable.
High humidity plus high temperature feels absolutely bad. That's because high humidity actually lowers the amount you can perspire in a given time which is the body's natural way of cooling off.
You can have 90% humidity at 80 degrees feel way worse than 0% humidity at 90 degrees.
Ex: New Orleans right now at 9 15 PM is around 82 degrees (there isn't even any sunshine out right now). Humidity is at 87%. Because of this high humidity, the temperature that you actually feel is 93 degrees. If humidity was 0% then temperature would feel 80 or below even.
Now imagine being in Lahore in the middle of July at 42+ degree celsius (that's 105+ F for you Americans) at 100% humidity... that's what hell on earth feels like.
I have friends in Florida from Pakistan who still complain about Flordia weather LOL! I have been there a few times and while it's not that hot the humidity factor is real.

worst weather is dubai and new delhi, Im sure florida comes in at #3. If my glasses fog up from going outside to inside then I know its crap weather
This is my life in Florida btw.
It's the worst. Once I'm out of my car to walk to a place the cars get an OS on me where my glasses get fogged up and I can't see then I take them off to still not see
:[ I hate florida
Both of these are pretty bad when I went there. Dubai is extreme dry heat, literal desert. I don't believe for a second it's habitable outside of the main metropolitan area. And I got stories for days in Dubai but this is not the place for them of course.
Delhi is hot and humid enough and then you got a million people there clogging all sorts of traffic. Not that Lahore/Karachi are much better in that regard but Delhi takes it to an extreme.
All you dudes sitting at home in your air conditioners, sipping on your clean water and enjoying non-censored internet... count your blessing.

As someone who lives in Karachi, I can't help but laugh whenever people from Lahore complain about humidity. And especially when they try to compare Karachi/Lahore as being on the same league in regards to weather/temperature.
You guys get high humidity for a few weeks at best. We get incredibly high humidity often for months on end.
I recently travelled across Punjab. The temperature had a peak of around 40-41°C but as long as I wasn't standing under the sun, it was perfectly bearable. You do the same thing in Karachi, you're probably gonna get a heatstroke if you don't stay properly hydrated cause you'll be sweating like crazy. Also doesn't hurt that Lahore get a lot more rain annually than we ever do.
Relative Humidity in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan:
The average annual relative humidity is 37.9% and average monthly relative humidity ranges from 20% in May to 58% in August.
Relative Humidity in Karachi, Pakistan
The average annual relative humidity is 75.9% and average monthly relative humidity ranges from 60% in December to 85% in August.

Ended up getting the $59.95 version. Probably unnecessary but I wanted it, GG looks so god damn good, its just a massive learning curve compared to Street Fighter.
What is the optimal route to learn the game?
At this stage just learning the mechanics is tough and even some of the mechanics can be considered advanced. So what are the crucial things to learn first, before focusing on a particular character and their BnBs?

I think the best thing is to try to relate GG mechanics to other games you have played. For example, Dead Angle is just a V-Reversal, and Blitz is just a Focus Attack.

There are roughly 20 Korean players that could come over to the EU/Europe and do this FWIW. Hoping a bunch make it over for Evo.
I prefer it humid over dry. My skin starts getting so itchy and my mouth so dehydrated and I can't stand it.
Maybe next year after people are more familiar with the game and characters things will be better?

Koreans being far better than the west has been true for a real long time. BUT I think with 7 being a less technical game than 7 there's the opportunity to close the divide.
Tekken would have to fundamentally change for Koreans to not dominate at it.
Either that or US takes on Tekken like they do Capcom games. I don't think that's likely.
As long as Tekken is 3 out of 5 rounds, it's hard for people to random out the JDCRs, Knees, Saints and Nobis. And even then it's not easy to random out people in Tekken in general.

At King of the Iron Fist, only 1 American even made top 16 so...
Tekken 7 being less technical doesn't mean shit. People can learn how to do all that stuff in NA. Us getting the game 2 years late in a culture that doesn't support high level play is all that really matters.
That doesn't change the fact that Koreans will be grinding several hours a day in a very competitive, high level, and local environment. Meanwhile NA Tekken players are more on the 9-5 + family responsibility line.

Literally my experience going to a family reunion nearly 20 years ago in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm still confused as to how anyone functions in that state at all before sunset. Never in my life have I taken so many showers just so I could feel like my skin could breathe.
I posted this in the xrd thread in response to a similar question- maybe it'll help:
It can be difficult, but you can do pretty well even with basics, and there are a ton of resources out there for learning the game. If you're not already aware of it, Novriltataki's guilty gear crash course series is really good for getting started. Even if the early episodes seem stupidly simple, the series quickly progresses to more advanced stuff you may not be aware of.
In 2007 I spent a couple weeks in July at a home in a region of Karachi called Defense that's very close to the seaside of the Arabian Sea. The house had no generator set up and the electricity would go out for at least 8 hours a day usually between 11- 5. Within seconds you will have sweat dripping from your sleeves to the ground. I was also suffering the most painful case of diarrhea in my life so hydrating myself was another gateway to extreme anguish. I can't even imagine the lives of the lower class.

Funny how when I see pictures of Dubai, I never think about how hot the temperature is, I just marvel at how pretty it looks. I just assumed the weather would be nice with a nice sea breeze like so-cal.
Wow, EVO is next month? It weird not to have crunch time associated with EVO this year for me.

I'd like to see a fighting game low-key match players against CPUs rather than human players and see if the salt still flows

wouldn't it be super easy to tell you're playing a CPU tho?
I went though the buying process to see what discount Wiz is giving for Sunday (I'm not going this year, but I was curious) and NWS in discord said his friend in Jan. paid a lower price even with the discount, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
