Smash @ Xanadu is live with Melee and then Project M will be on after that: http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp

Apparently there might be 50 people for PM -- not 100% sure, this is based on what one of the commentators said fairly casually, before sign-ups have even been finalized. Wouldn't be too shocking though as it's happened before, PM is really popular in MD.

The thing I find interesting/scary about how red focus works is that it now gives pretty much every character in the game the ability to hit confirm into ultra with three bars. It'll help flatten out the damage everyone does a bit... but I don't think that's how Street Fighter is designed to work? Granted, it's a lot of resources to burn -- but it's also a lot of damage.

Can't all those characters already do that with a normal FADC for 2 bars?

Doesn't crumple on L1.

People think they've seen cheap shit in Marvel? Wait til they see this dumb shit. Idk why this isn't banned yet. Smh


He's claiming he has tech that makes marvel a 1p game without firebrand...interesting

sorry if old.

Is it that Viewtiful Joe plus Hidden Missiles thing he was trying to do in the previous tournament?

Sounds like he might have figured out a Strider/Doom esque lockdown with Missiles and Charged Voomerang.

To which I say... ChrisG has been doing that with Vergil and Missiles + Dark Harmonizer for over a year now. So if it's that I am not impressed. If it's actually Firebrand-esque "touch one character, kill 2 more" then it's probably pretty broke.

i think that might be the intended design tbh, seems like a way to help low damage and especially charge characters even thing up

dangle umehardon is clearly superior here

Anything concrete on USF4 coming to the PS4? The only thing I saw was the picture of Ono putting a PS4 controller next to an arcade cabinet.

It's almost certainly happening, we just don't know when they'll announce it or if there's something related to it they're hiding or waiting on.

If you are enjoying Carl now. 1.1 Carl is insane.

Does red focus? It is hard to keep up with the current version, but I thought they made only 2 and 3 crumple.

All levels crumple.

regular focus
--lv1: no crumple on block, no crumple on normal hit, crumple on counter hit
--lv2: no crumple on block, crumple on normal hit, crumple on counter hit
--lv3: crumple on block, crumple on normal hit, crumple on counter hit

red focus

I don't know what that means! As in a patch is coming or something? I haven't really followed the game all that much other than all the hate Kokonoe was getting.

 

[Hitokage]

I thought it was just EX Red Focus that crumpled on normal lvl 1 hit.

Yeah, in May.

Did anyone else get an email from twitch about requested usernames? Seems like a lot of people got it and twitch hasn't responded to this problem.

Yup a balance patch is coming and in it Ada's Energy recovery is going to go up to almost double the speed... It's pretty silly

Right. Thanks.

Does it count any different for scaling purposes?

Apparently it's exactly the same scaling.

 

[Horseress]

Don't know if it will influence on the scaling, but red focus does 50% more damage than regular focus

 

[Hitokage]

Simply doing attack ex red focus ultra will put the ultra's damage scaling at 60%.

[mbpm1]

It was originally scaling less (or not scaling, can't remember), but that was removed/a mistake by Dawgtanian and now it scales the same as regular focus.

There is going to be another PxG online tournament (360) on the 27th with $500 cash and a bunch of avermedia stuff to win, this was the tournament that Tommy Gunzz taunted Justin Wong in and got destroyed.

 

[UltraDavid]

Right. Thanks.

Does it count any different for scaling purposes?

the people above me are right, it scales like regular focus in that counts as the second of 2 hits in the damage scaling formula, but it also does 50% more damage than a regular focus. zangief & hugo's lv3 red focus does 255 damage, lol

If someone gets hit with a Lv 3 red focus, they deserve to eat that much damage probably, lol.

You wouldn't want to drop a link into something like lightning legs or HHS.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

So I'm in the middle of planning a tournament circuit for Puyo Puyo. Anybody have advice for how to best allocate seeding points for placement?

 

[UltraDavid]

oh those are cool ideas, i was just thinking about punishing whiffed dps etc but yeah, i'll think about it more in that way too. thanks!

 

[SimSimIV]

Apparently lvl 3 red focus har armor all the way until it hits. That has to count for something I guess, but armor break will keep that from being broken.

 

[Hitokage]

You wouldn't want to drop a link into something like lightning legs or HHS.

Legs is 42-46 frames of time without extension, before considering the frames spent in frame advantage for the link attempt. You should have enough time to do something.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Make sure all the top players instantly get out of their pools so there are no complaints.

Online or in-person?
Single elimination, double elimination, round robin, swiss, or other?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

There are not enough "top players" where this will be a problem

Online because lol at gathering more than two people in-person to play Puyo
I'm planning on running at least three events over the course of the next four months, with seeding points available for each. At the end, the top six players with the most seeding points will be selected to play in this thing:
http://www59.atwiki.jp/puyopuyowc/

I would like to run tournaments in a variety of formats to keep things interesting (I have early plans for all four types you listed, actually), plus The Community hasn't settled on an absolute best format yet.

please stop me if this sounds like a terrible idea

 

[toddhunter]

Hence the ex-hazanshu change I suppose.

Interesting dynamic.

 

[Kadey]

I hate red focus. I wish there were some way to turn it off. I always do it by accident when I am trying to fadc. However it is easy mode. All it takes is a simple two hit combo or a good hit confirm into it into ultra for many characters. Akuma example will be able to land his Ultra one much easier with it from any hit confirm.

 

[Hitokage]

Nah, ex hazanshu would put you over your opponent. EX SBK would work better or even just a simple throw.

 

[UltraDavid]

I thought it was just EX Red Focus that crumpled on normal lvl 1 hit.

i don't remember if this is true tbh

If it's anything like pretty much every other time a player claims to have secret tech... not much

 

[theprodigy]

That's a salty guy at that Melee weekly.

 

[Hitokage]

Here we go.

For non-EX it has Lvl 2 and 3 going into crumple, but EX red focus has 1, 2, and 3 going into crumple.

Marvel is dying.

@CEOJebailey: Catching up on #CEO2014 registrations. Ultra SF numbers DOUBLE that of UMvC3. They were neck and neck last year. Hmmm.
