Passion always trumps logic in Gaming side. Except for FGW of course.
Because here there is no logic to trump
So when can we replace UMvC3 with Aquapazza as a main game? :V
One issue I can see with that is that it puts the event closer to peak holiday travel times, which means that flying in is going to be a pain in the ass and more expensive. Kind of surprised that Capcom hooked Big E up with the change (but it's a good look).
This isn't really comparable. You had almost a half of a year to register for CEO, vs. The 2 months or so for CEOtaku.
That Grand Tournament tho
I can finally play Shaman again ;___;
hehheh heh haheh hehheh
edit: also, that one Naruto player
Early reg numbers will only be worth discussing when registering early becomes the norm and the majority of final entrants do it. Otherwise they're just nice as a curiosity.
Like, the Marvel number is funny, but I seriously doubt that at least the Flordian Marvel scene won't show up to support their boy Jebailey.
Although, maybe Prog was right and this will help motivate the anime community to show up in force if they see it as a "challenge".

anyone else feeling like we really need a new catch-all term for these games that isn't "anime"
There are people who have confirmed on the sg forums that likely haven't pre-registered. Some of the stronger players will be there too, so probably not free. : p
yes. though I can't really think of anything at the moment.

Airdashers?
Yeah, I'd personally bet on the pot bonus going straight into Dekillsage's pocket lol
Me neither! It's a hard to think of a replacement that is both generic enough to include all those games and the people who play them without being as generic as "anime" and sounds good too lol

I don't know the actual change. I'm just repeating the EH summary.
I actually plan on defining genres like this:
Traditional Fighter (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat)
Airdash Fighter (BlazBlue, Guilty Gear)
Assist Team Fighter (Marvel, Skullgirls)
Tag Team Fighter (SFxT, TTT2)
Serial Team Fighter (KoF, SvC2)
3D Fighter (Tekken, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter)
Arena Fighter (Naruto, Pokken, Gundam)
Criticism is welcome.

how are naruto,pokken,gundam arena fighters and not 3d fighters
"Traditional fighter" is silly

So % wise then:
CEO June got 110 registrants in the first 16.7% of the registration period.
CEOtaku got 58 registrants in the first 12.5% of the registration period.
Numbers are fine. Marvel players are lazy (or don't want to be associated with anime).

that flexibility yo
I don't know, "Airdashers" has never sat right with me personally. It also feels weird calling UNI an airdasher, when the actual airdash in that game is so rarely used hah.
I'd be okay with it if that's what everyone else started calling the games. Even if "airdashers community" sounds weird to say lol

Maybe I should have said "constructive" criticism!
Vastly different mechanics and gameplay feel.
It has no qualitative weight, it's just a descriptor. SF-like is what usually comes to mind when thinking traditional fighter.
OmegaSmash

Full 3D gameplay as opposed to 2.5D? Don't really know.
that is constructive!
I don't accuse it of being qualitative. what is it traditional of? Is GG not a 'traditional' anime fighter?
There's always going to be overlap and ambiguous/debatable cases when categories are used. I think it'd be more informative and robust to come up with axes and just rate games individually on all the axis to get across the 'flavor' of the game.
Examples:
neutral game importance <-------------------------------------------------> setplay importance
limited mobility <-------------------------------------------------> high mobility
complex <-------------------------------------------------> simple
resource mangement important <-------------------------------------------------> resource management unimportant
match-ups important (counterpick-heavy) <-------------------------------------------------> match-ups insignificant (counterpicks largely unused)
1v1 < team-based with limited synergy importance > team-based with extreme focus on team synergy
primarily close range combat < combat at multiple ranges if common > effective combat primarily happens at a distance
yomi extremely important <-------------------------------------------------> yomi fairly unimportant
easy execution <-------------------------------------------------> difficult execution
low skill ceiling <-------------------------------------------------> high skill ceiling
No real importance attached to either side of any axis being good or bad.

It's a traditional _anime_ fighter, but it's not a traditional fighter. There's an extra modifier.

my heart would've been in shambles tbh. I got the two legends for the classes I play. Haven't gotten a chance to actually use Eadric tho
Right, the implication is that MK and SF need a modifier too.
I like this. I generally like being verbose when describing stuff, and don't like vague/muddled genre descriptors.

Constructive would offer an alternative to "Traditional Fighters". I think it's fitting because SF is the original fighting game.
But subgenres.

What's the utility of the use of subgenres?
Maybe traditional simple fighter, then? I still think the 'simple' is superfluous, I can get the intended meaning without it.
Edit: 'Classical' might be also good. 'Traditional' could then be used to further modify depending on how weird the game is considered within its genre group.

I feel like it's the best way to identify what kinds of fighters you like. For example, I definitely like Assist Team Fighters more than any other genre.

1. Stuff wot inherits from Street Fighter (Capcom/SNK fighters)
1a. Stuff wot inherits from Mortal Kombat (Midway/Rare fighters)
2. Stuff wot inherits from Guilty Gear (JPN anime devs, Mahvel, Skullgirls)
3. Stuff wot inherits from Virtua Fighter (Namco Bandai fighters)
4. Smash
Other than the occasional wandering game like Marvel, it's really more of a company-by-company style to me, rather than trying to decide what's "anime" or not.

Shouldn't that be Darkstalkers?
