Does HD remix have the original graphics?
It would be so weird to play him outside of 3. might as well put sim in
yes. Not backgrounds though
For those interested the Pre-BT Cup is going to start in about 2 hours. Roughly 300 entrants, if you like VF it's as high level as it gets. Should be a good show!

No teleport. Sim is one of the original SF characters. Also, have you tried Necro? You want a Blanka/Sim hybrid? That would be a new FG player killer.
Alas, I believe that was the face that happened either at Top 8 or his reaction to the Double KO at the end of Grand Finals.
Watching Justin's stream since he started doing MKX has been fantastic just for the hilarious explanations of events to newer viewers. I told him at NWM that we would introduce him as "up and coming twitch star Justin Wong"; got shot a combination of humorous/sad/evil glare from him, lol.
To be fair, I think I might have been the one who suggested Arturo; so I should covered at least half of it. Would be shady to be like "hey, it would be awesome if Arturo was flown out here" and then stare at you expectantly waiting for you to pay, lol. Shouta and I have talked about trying to figure out how to make the entire flying people out thing sustainable - but monetizing the FGC is...hard (as arturo looks at us like "NO SHIT SHERLOCK").
I need to spend some time thinking about this stuff more in-depth. The traces and hints of some kind of sustainability are there. Is Twitch the answer?
We like to be behind the scenes ninjas more than anything. Hell, there's a reason my twitter account is protected and will almost always stay that way.

I'm surprised about some of you thinking SF3 characters are popular enough to be in SF5.
I'm pretty sure people wouldn't mind have the GAF logo in a major tournament and show how eSports we are lol
So wait... I can change the art of the characters so I can have the original art that coincides with the hitboxes?!
If we're gonna sponsor someone, Art is a good choice but we also gotta find those insane Japanese character specialist who main Hakan or Hugo and bring them over for a Capcom Cup event. The blow up would be so real.
Necro should be in! Dude is the real dhalsim we deserve.
Alex will be in SFV. Bet it.
So?
Yup, he's fun.
If it's not Necro, it'll be someone else.
Even better.
Well yeah when the guy hacked the game on stream, it was bonkers saying he would be back. SFV has been in the works for a while and the in game roster is definitely complete for now. Hopefully there is no on disc DLC BS or Capcom screwed their chance at redemption up.
I rotate to an old one before I'm trying to get a new one ready for some event (usually shopped to deal with it, I'll go with my EVO one once it comes around). I'll go back to my cloud with something E3 related to it when the time comes around. I only really use two avatars mainly, this one and the cloud one.

If anything, I have always felt fighting games were expressive but maybe at the tippy top, the win is everything. I have played enough FPS shooters to see it also expressive but fighting games caught me because of the off screen enthusiasm and the fact you and your opponent are always facing each other, always on the same screen with nothing to hide, resources and health exposed. You set your opponent up and cash out the read for the win.
To see Juicebox ultra videos early on to the present more measured, frustrated talk about fighting games makes me wonder if its about hobby turned to profession. When I come home, I don't want to do anymore artwork and I have to be dragged into doing photoshop for my family.
yup
I'm off into the ST vortex.
I have a necro action figure on my desk at work. I love Sim but would take necro as a sub.

What it's about is fun. Fun and ideals.
The true SF4 competitors should abuse everything and pick top tier. Hamad is starting to wrestle with the realization that he might not be after the win as much as he thought, because at the top level the game loses a lot of what made it fun while learning it.
I hope (and maybe Hamad does too) that eventually what is popular might also correlate with what is more "fun", especially in high-level play.
Of course, different players find different things "fun" so there's bound to be massive disagreements with this.
For me, "fun" means:
- high skill ceiling
- able to pick all characters at top levels of play
- balance between offensive and defensive mechanics

Everyone is a bit "more" this time around. Charlie is Guile with teleports now.
Maybe I'm reading this whole thing wrong but, I'm not sure why he would feel this way. It's not like Fei Long is an inherently bad character. Even he admits that Fei Long is a good character. It just seems like he wants to blame the overall game but he just hasn't fully committed to doing it. He admits that he has more fun playing CVS2 than USF4 but lets not be blind, CVS2 has some skeletons in the closet too especially when it comes to high level play. (Justin vs Ricky literally down backing for around 2 minutes) Maybe this is just a person waking up and seeing the real competitive side of the game and does not like what he sees. But he does make some valid points about picking a character purely for Match up even if you have bad fundamentals.
http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr11b - It's very applicable to any game.
It has to do with why you play. What are your motivations and goals? What he seems to be discovering is that his don't line up with the ones you need in order to be a top-level player. And that's ok.
Center stage and SBO = no zoning tools? She also has an armor piercing get over here move.
definitely feels like we have a lot more Johnny's in America than Japan who has a lot of top player Spike's

For me:
Good-feeling movement (As examples Melee, KOF, GG, UNIEL, even 3S, maybe ST)
Simple actions are effective (ie. "I attack" or at most "I attack shutting down the throw option" instead of "I attack with an arcane magic sequence that guards against four possible defenses, refer to the rulebook for constructing a defensive input that has a hope of working" - let that be taken care of by spacing and move choice please, and leave that kind of wizardry to Magic where you have a bit of time to think, thank you)
Universal defenses to keep everyone afloat to some extent and allow strong characters to be built. If you realize something is kinda busted and that the character who has it is low tier, something's been done right.
Characters "fit the mold" to some extent. I play a game because a game feels a certain way. (To use Fuerte as an example, if I want to play a high-movement game, I'll play a game built around that like KOF, GG, VSav instead of trying to antiair a spastic goofball with a character built to ST assumptions. When I play a game with ST assumptions, I want to play that kind of game.
Another article on the Timmy/Johnny/Spike psychographics: http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr220b
Spike/Timmy (Tuner/Nuts&Bolts Spike, Social Timmy, tuning part pretty much MTG-only though)
everyone of our top players are Johnny. None of them really care about playing to win as much as Japan's top players.

Yeah Sabrewulf player in KI.
Pretty sure he's still a spike, he just frames himself as a Johnny.
He was going to play Saberwulf before the character was even considered good. Dude plays Storm in Marvel and Rufus in SF4. He is definitely not a Spike these days.
And I don't even know if Saberwulf is still considered the best in KI.
why you gotta be like that...
I've always been strict on what I eat from a young age cause I read the damn labels and eat home cooked meals 90% of the time. Besides, eating once a day is tough on your body.

Kung Lao in MK9 week one. Batman in Injustice.
Rufus loyalist? Rufus was nerfed in SFxT? Straight to Hworwang instead, first week of the patch.
When he was planning on playing tekken 6 he was going to use Bob.
Raiden and Kung Lao on MKX and a side piece Rose. You might be on to something.

Your words come out endearingly but you won't trick me! Plus, please don't confuse me with you for being the gadfly.
