Yeah. At this point, I might get it just for fun labbing as opposed to a scene I want to get into.
A lot of the mechanics interest me.

I turned off the stream, what happened?
Like what BS does hitbox let you do in MKX?

It's not that that difficult to categorize players into psychographics as long as you remember the central tenets of each (Timmy wants to experience something, Johnny wants to express something, Spike wants to prove something). Justin is pure Spike even if he uses unconventional teams. There's a difference between saying something like "everybody says Mewtwo is shit, but I'll show everybody he's viable" and "I play Mewtwo because I feel the most comfortable winning with him despite what other people say about him". If you listen to interviews with Justin he's always insists on saying the second thing and not the first.
Hitboxes should have been banned long ago, but it's too late now.
Also ATL acting a damn fool from this MKX hype.
stop being a spike...

Psychographic identifiers created by Mark Rosewater so Wizards of the Coast could better cater their card designs for Magic: The Gathering to different types of consumers.
Those run cancels only seem consistent on the hitbox. I've been trying forever to get them, but it is so precise. (On pad by the way) Either way, he can only do it about twice because of the stamina bar.

I'm still annoyed that they don't want to split the up direction and add another button above the Left/Down/Right buttons. Makes certain inputs or Shmups way easier.
I tune in and see Jagi from HnK fight Master Asia from Gundam G.
I need to watch more VF.
It's the only anime game I've ever liked, though it could use some Mike Z love in terms of reducing stupid motions. (you can tell the devs got their start on SamSho games)
Allow me to spam mikos and I'll like it.
He's not Russian, lol.
Have you seen his avatar? If he sticks with it he'll be a Timmy soon.
RIP. Losing a parent is tough.

Nah I'm from middle east, haha.
But back in the day we could get steam games for cheap from Russian traders. We could get them for like half off their US or EU price even.
Which was one way many of us managed to get such as huge steam library ;P

My wife lost her dad last week. She was pretty devastated since they were so close. I tried to do my best for her but I can only do so much. We're going to Cali for the funeral next month. Losing a parent is pretty tough so I hope he can stay strong, same goes for my wife.

I'm using Juicebox's secret footsies training tech in tandem with watching my replays against DBJ to become the ultimate Juri counterpick monster.
I'm coming for you, DBJ! 'Bout to get some wins off that Poison for real.
As soon as I learn how to beat this goddamn HP Fireball and cMK. Goddamn.

Customized costumes looking good! How is this possible?!
gotta clock out on the VF stream and catch the archive later
awww... I was hoping you was watching it.
My white tiger Lau Chan was awesome looking.
Tmmy= plays for an emotioal rush
Johnny= plays to express creativity
Spike= plays to murder people and chew bubblegum, and he's all out of bubblegum
They're helpful because they're pretty broadly applicable to different types of players you need to cater to.
May she rest in peace.

Daigo vs Dunhill and R in endless. Daigo using Guile and Ryu.
go to 1:05:00
http://www.twitch.tv/fukuoka_gamers_club/v/4488046
But guess what? Dunhill only shows his matches on stream. Worst streamer ever.

One thing I really appreciate Tokido for is that when he's picked his cheap stuff, he sticks with it even through the bad matchups (few as they may be).
Spike =/= tier whore, though it's obviously common enough. A spike is someone who gets his joy from winning (or, depending on the subtypes, doing things like refining his own play/team construction or finding the broken stuff). One part of playing to win can be playing stuff that clicks with you so you play well naturally.
It's about what a person is like overall, not a specific checklist where all items need to check out to be something.
Also, hybrid types are a thing. As the second article notes:
Not "Some guy", but Magic R&D. The guy who posted the articles is the game's head designer.

Also your distillations of the player types are horrible. They correlate a bit with what characters people pick, but aren't solely about that at all. They're an attempt to answer the question "Why does someone play our game".
Hey, I do that. I want to play so many games so if I can pick something like 3S Chun or Faust who's strong and doesn't need much lab time for research or grinding out long/hard combos, I'm golden.

Combo monsters are Timmies, IMO. Timmy likes big splashy things. Big numbers, huge effects, that kind of stuff. It's why big dumb huge monsters used to be called Timmy cards back in the day.
Why u got me rolling beef lmfao!

Justin Wong is definitely a Spike/Johnny.
I consider myself a Johnny/Spike.

I just realized that this guy at locals that spams Ness' PK Thunder 2 is a Timmy. He will die 4/5 times after getting punished, but when that 20% comes through, he is so happy and says "That is what I was going for!" He just loves seeing PK Thunder 2 go off. I thought he was just an idiot, and I think that is still debatable, but it makes a little more sense to me in some maddening way.

One of the best points of different personality typology systems is helping people grok just how different other people's way of seeing the world is, to the point of being completely alien and incomprehensible. The Timmy/Johnny/Spike one is primitive but really useful.

He still drives me nuts. I got stuck with him in doubles, and I said, "Okay, while we are partners, can you try not to spam PK Thunder 2?"
His response? "I...can't promise that."
I changed my team color.

Sweet features! Is there any hope of them getting patched into at least the PC version in the not-too-distant future? Or perhaps as a paid upgrade?
Thomasorus

They're thinking about a paid update.
I'm going to fully admit to being a Timmy at times in a lot of games. Sometimes I just want to try to do cool shit and not worry about the competition. Its why I'm a big fan of single player modes so I can do that without pissing off people taking it more seriously.
Some fighters I make more of an effort with but I'd never pick a main just because they're top tier. Certainly not a Spike.
