rip. sucks that it looks like it was targeted.
It's ridiculous how these companies can continue to make bad decisions after bad decisions and still continue to stay afloat because of mobile gaming.
It sucks, badly, but you are alive and well, no better birthday gift than that. Better days will come, I'm glad you are ok <3

MGS is not their moneymaker lol. Matter of fact, IIRC its not even games that makes them the most of their money, its pachinko or some shit

If your lever breaks, you don't go out and buy a new stick. You might lose the match today, but tomorrow you'll have a fancy LS-32 with a custom transparent balltop in your favorite color. And that means new beginnings.
Keep your head up, MarkMan.
Konami on the decline.The whole picture for anyone curious
And not a single person was shocked on that day.
it's reasonable why that is. Mobile gaming is cheap to produce and there is a huge market for it, home gaming can be very expensive to produce especially for a series like Metal Gear.

Yeah, kind of a bad way to end the weekend. =/
Cybit wanted to sing you and Slash happy birthday on the PA but we couldn't interrupt Tekken Tag 2 finals since we were behind schedule a bit. =(
serious talk if pacquiao and mayweather can finally fight then freaking ippo and miyata better fight at some point.?
I saw on twitter. Hope things start looking up as fast as they can, MarkMan.
Sucks about what happened man.

Winning one event is tough and it will be hard to consistently get top 3. Getting to Grand Finals would be a mission. Everyone is going to the prem. events. Stunfest for example is featuring Daigo, Momochi, Mago, Tokido, Kazunoko, Santarou, Ebi, Poongko, Infiltration, RF, Dark Jiewa, Xian and there is a possibility that Gamerbee and Eita will also go as they have recently said so. CEO will be the same.
I think the way this is shaping up only the best players will get in. Yeah it won't be as diverse as some may want it to be, but I think a more competitive tournament will make the event better as a whole. Not only will Capcom Cup itself be better because of this, but the whole pro tour will benefit.
I hope Wao and Nemo make it in.

A few months later into the future, people are going to look at Hypespotting and think of it as a missed opportunity.
No offense to Mago
No offense to Mago
Ippo and Miyata can wait, Sendo is doing some grow ass man work. I'm still waiting for the fight his mother actually goes to see. That will be truly insane.
pls let the IP's be safe and not in konami's hands...
god damn it
The whole picture for anyone curious
So Digital Enterntainment is the breadwinner and then gaming systems? I don't see how pachinko is making them a profit here or I'm reading it wrong. Konami should just hand off the IP (or sell it) to someone who would do it justice. Sadly that won't be the case cause they've lost it for the past couple of years.
Manly tears will be shed on that day.
NCR was the same weekend. Hopefully next year, tournaments plan better with Capcom so they're no double booking.
You will see Shotos and you will like it.
Fixed for you.
I would honestly be happy if I were to see either Hakan or Hugo in Capcom Cup. Has Latif completely dropped SF? Dude would have a pretty good chance of getting in.
Dammit, man. Fuck that archetype. :/
Edit: I still want Daigo to bust out Ryu tho. But too much $$$ on the line to downgrade.

Nemo can easily get in if he gets time off from work. As for your other characters, however unlikely it is, you never know. Last year Pepeday and Nishikin won TGS and Taito tournaments. Tonpy won the Cannes qualifier. It's hard to predict who will come out of the Japanese prem. events.
This is a true statement. I had the mic ready and everything. If I came up awkwardly to the MCZ booth and just idly stared at you and wandered off, it was me debating whether you were in the middle of MKX with folks or not before we started singing.
Digital entertainment (console games) are massively declining, whereas gaming (gambling and stuff) is rising.
Digital Entertainment is on a decline but it still made the most money for them in 2014. The negative signs means they lost money on it right? Its at -1.9 and has down from what it was the previous year unless I'm having trouble reading the chart.
Edit:
I started comparing the actual gaining of money/differences in years and holy hell, that pachinko is actually making them a nice profit. The profit for Digital Entertainment has declined dramatically, I don't know if its a loss on their end if they put up that much money for each of the prospective years but those declines are not pretty to look at.

Juri is the most criminally underused character in SF4.
The thing about digital entertainment is that it's very variable. Basically dependent on Metal Gear releases.
Meanwhile, their gaming sector is seeing consistent increases, which they feel are worth pursuing.

She is but with Momochi being there I think we'll see her at capcom cup.
I'd love to rep Juri at tourneys but I'm ass so I will never go.

WTH? They haven't fought against each other already? It's insane how drawn out Shonen tend to be (worst offender being Berserk). XD Anyway, I lost interest in Hajime no Ippo when the protagonist fought against the jungle dude (Woli I think?) or something (and this frigging shonen started in 1990, end it already).
The fun thing about watching FG stream is that you can quickly see dream or hyped matches.

That and Abudget Cup, especially Abudget Cup. Top 16 was full of a bunch of 2000pp level players. The only quality players were Humanbomb and Dark Jiewa I think. It would have been easy points for someone like Shiro if he had gone. I mention Shiro because he looks like he's making a effort to qualify.
they can twiddle their thumbs and make pachislots until Disney buys them.
Berserk isn't drawn out like a Shounen, it's paced just right and the story is always moving.
The problem is the chapter release schedule. Obviously if you release one chapter a year you aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
If Berserk had the release schedule of Naruto then it would've ended 5+ years ago.

Its that time again...
This one should get good...

These are the 5 fighting games I've for some reason spent the most time with.
Johnny's Mist Stance, Basara's Shadow Fakes, and Xiaoyu's Stances are really awesome. These are not tools that the devs gave to the players to solve a problem, like a hammer to a nail. More like a painter's brush, these are implements given to the player to express themselves. And all the while, through these implements, the player comes to know the character they are playing. Johnny's precision, Basara's haunted reanimation, Xiaoyu's playfulness.

If Berserk had the release schedule of Naruto Miura would have died of starvation. It takes the dude 15-18 hours per page to make that stuff.
Why is the mangaka on hiatus again? An HxH fighter would be pretty hype if it ever came to fruition. Hell, an all out manga fighter with one piece, HxH, Berserk, etc. would be dope.

If that's the case, I think Miura just lost motivation due to the amount of work done throughout the years. Togashi might be the same although I don't see the art being as great and symbolic as Berserk's.
