So Sega Cup is getting streamed by LevelUpLive? What are the times?

I've got VF5 from PS+ but still haven't put any time into it. So many fond memories of 2 and 3, but never played 4.

According to the FB event page, it starts at 9AM PDT and goes all day.
Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive

With all this talk about VF, have we heard who is coming to play in the Sega Cup?

I'm heading down Friday afternoon. Hopefully in time for the team tournament.

It's funny. Even from the outside, when I saw El Blaze introduced into VF I suspected he'd be low tier. A character that energetic, fun and hype is destined to be underused in any fighting game

Low-tier doesn't mean suck in VF. They tend to mean very little overall because the game's systems allow you to mitigate a lot of stuff that would make the tiers much more rigid like in other fighting games.

 

[alstein]

I am really upset I couldn't make Sega Cup.

With Sequestration and job losses, folks have quit here so I can't get the time off, and even if I could, job loss means I shouldn't spend the money. I hope I can hit TFC (Evo looks unlikely for same reason)

 

[soakrates]

I'll be at Sega Cup. NorCal is bringing about 15 people. Apparently there's also a team tourney going on the night before that I didn't hear about until a few days ago.

 

[oneida]

Low-tier doesn't mean suck in VF.

Very true. I think most VFers would agree that it is a game of common denominators (LA Akira's words, I think) - match-up knowledge is important for sure, but not nearly as important as it is in Street Fighter or UMvC3. It's more about reads, because very few situations result in guaranteed damage.

 

[GabbyJay]

I don't think I can make it to NCR. My ride fell through and I have to work on my stupid campus magazine. I wanted nothing more than to play in that DiveKick tourny

I think the team tourney has been in talks for a few weeks now. I know Plague was talking about it for sure. It should be interesting though. I think they're running it using teams of 3 like how SBO and other VF events do it?

PNW is bringing at least 10ish, I think. If not more.

Bring glory to norcal! I'd monster it up but it looks like I'm going to picnic day.

Is it a system like SF3's parries which theoretically (but not realistically) does some of the mitigating?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Is The Break gonna have Injustice?

 

[Shouta]

Nah, it's much more complicated than that. It's a combination of pretty solid RPS-style interaction combined with good defensive options and smart creation of frames. The game only has a few situations where you can get big, guaranteed damage otherwise, it's about playing back and forth along with reading your opponents habits and knowing the options.

Kings of Cali 2 vids are being uploaded now on VGBootcamp's channel.

Including this badboy

Good job with the Smash stream, Crimson.

Thanks dude!

 

[oneida]

It's nothing as cut-and-dry as a parry or baroque mechanic, the game's system itself is designed such that every situation has several good answers to it. VF is not so much about the character you pick as it is about how you play them.

Sounds wonky, I know, you might have to just sit down with it to see what I mean.

/edit/ I wonder if we could call cd fuzzy VF's "parry"?

 

[soakrates]

Hah, we'll do our best. We have some strong players but I'd reckon there's a killer in every region, plus there are some characters most of us are unfamiliar with. I'm just hoping I don't run into any Jackys.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Isn't socal Jacky land?

It's like Jacky central here in socal dude. Everyone uses him. Maybe you can just play a ton of casuals to get that exp while you're here.

I'll be at Super Arcade on Wednesday for some VF and Injustice and of course on Saturday for Sega Cup. I'm not sure about Friday team tournament though.

 

[Lost Fragment]

lol Honzo so free to DSP

 

[fader]

Why does the FGC hate DSP so much?

I mean, I dont like him, but I have my own reason's why.

 

[enzo_gt]

I wonder what colour ending most people will choose in Injustice.

#TeamSynthesis

 

[Horseress]

LOL, Ultradavid killing it on Twitter

 

[Nabs]

Yeah, David went full troll for a minute there. I still don't get what Chris G was talking about with that last one.

 

[Infinite]

This Chris G shit ran it's course.

 

[Beckx]

Interesting. Tom Cannon on the Tuesday Show tonight to talk about pot splitting, etc.

 

[Shouta]

Isn't socal Jacky land?

I'm almost certain it's Jacky Land. There are probably more Jackys in SoCal than there are El Blazes in the entire country.

 

[Horseress]

Yoo, TomCannon will be at UltraChen tonight! They will talk about all the drama and etc, should be good

EDIT: beaten

 

[Lulubop]

This Chris G shit ran it's course.

Nope.

Interesting. Tom Cannon on the Tuesday Show tonight to talk about pot splitting, etc.

Wonder if they will reprimand the players. I know Texas Showdown isn't a road to evo event but Tom Canon is gonna be on to reinforce something.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

@protomcannon is a pretty good twitter name.

hahaha now chrisg is mad at ultradavid

 

[Infinite]

Man, Ultra Dave is a funny dude.

 

[SloaneRisette]

@protomcannon is a pretty good twitter name.

hahaha now chrisg is mad at ultradavid

For reference:

Christopher Gonzalez ‏@NYChrisG 4m

@ultradavid damn you want attention..... Pretty sad for a grown man.


Yo Chris I like your play and all but seriously stay off Twitter for a few days man. You're falling from my ranks of favorite players quickly at this point.

 

[GhostRidah]

lmao fuck I love twitter, so much drama it makes work go by so fast.

[Infinite]

Twitter really has the power to make asses out of people. I thought this thing was dead lol

Twitter is an incredible communication tool.

 

[Beckx]

Incredible tools communicate on Twitter.

Fixed for you.

(I kid. Twitter is amazing for news and alternative discourse.)

 

[Beast Legacy]

Speaking of Twitter,

What did John Cena do to get ppl to hate him? I stopped watching Wrestling for a bit. Just wondering.. He was always a good guy right?

Ca..can you really not understand why people hate Cena, Justin?

 

[Lost Fragment]

JWong is a rasslin supermark. He likes the good guys and hates the bad guys no matter what.

Anyway, it dawned on me the other day that Twitter is just a slow-ass chat room.

The slowest, most character limited chatroom.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I've given David crap about things, but given today and his commentary during Texas Showdown, he's my new hero.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Interesting. Tom Cannon on the Tuesday Show tonight to talk about pot splitting, etc.

Which one? nevermind. LET ME FIX MY FACE.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

 

[SloaneRisette]

Guys we've corrupted UltraDavid.

I'm sorry James Chen.

Spoiler

I'm not sorry.

 

[Passive Assassin]

That East Coast disrespect. When keeping it real goes wrong. Twitter style!

 

[Beckx]

In my mind, I'm imagining the hilarity of them fighting for reals next time they see each other.

(I bet ChrisG uses the windmill.)

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Keep digging that hole Chris.

Chris G has good parries though.

 

[Shouta]

UltraDavid is officially a true NeoGAFfer. Welcome to the fold.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

LOL, Ultradavid killing it on Twitter

lol

 

[Dahbomb]

Keep digging that hole Chris.

Ice cold Chris...

Man David respects ChrisG a lot and has said nothing but praise about his play when most others dismiss his play as lame and spammy. ChrisG should really just take it down a notch, the heel look is not good for him.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

It's not even an omg that guy's such a dick heel. It's more like what an incompetent doofus heel.

 

[Horseress]

And Chris G retweeting stream monsters stupid tweets, he's feeling himself like never before
