629 subs is like $1500 a month for Sp00ky. That's not much in the grand scheme of things.
Well I'm doing my part since I've been a subscriber for forever. Don't really have time to watch his streams live most of the time but I enjoy what he does. I also watched him work when I helped on a tournament and the guy deserves it. Real talk.

man fchamp is making injustice look boring with sinestro

Dash under Meteor and Sinestro is free. Dat day 1 online play.
Zoning is going to be the predominant style of play for most fighting games starting out. Even MVC3 started out this way... remember fucking Team ASS? That's right.. Arthur/Storm/Sentinel stomping on scrubs day 1 of the game.
People don't know good combos, mobility options and are still trying to get the feel of the game. The best way to prevent people from learning on the fly is to zone them hard.
Once people learn their frame data and BnBs... the type of zoning that FChamp is doing will be obsolete within a week. Of course that is not to say that rushdown will predominate... maybe a superior type of zoning will be discovered but right now the level of play shown is day 1. People just sit at full screen holding up/forward and run into boulders and fireballs.

Haven't had the time to play much beyond training mode, but yup. Brainless zoning beats brainless movement in fighting games in general, but learning how to zone effectively is way harder than learning how to move effectively so that you don't get beat by brainless projectile spam in the first place. Lots of people who are doing well with Deathstroke and Sinestro right now are gonna start getting rocked in a week or two.

Is fchamp going to WNF? I hope he gets trashed.
If so he'd better hurry.
Play Injustice, It's a good game.
I've been trying. Unfortunately Sony figured that actually updating their store was too hard (why exactly am I supposed to believe in everything Dave Perry was selling for online/Gaikai?) until today, and now I'm getting oh, 1-3 megs per MINUTE download speeds from PSN. Should be ready to play by tomorrow night, unless it overheats and fries from continuously writing to the drive.
So, yeah, the day one digital world is working out fantastic.
No idea who I want to play in this game (at least til Lobo comes out). Bummed to hear Superman plays boring but not really surprised. No one can figure out how to make the character fun in a game. And me so hyped after the new trailer. Just going to call it a night and read Birthright.

Running a $2k tournament the day after a game comes out is the stupidest shit ever. Someone on twitter said that it's like paying people to pirate the game, and yeah, that's like 100% the case.
Aris tweeted that and was 100% correct.Running a $2k tournament the day after a game comes out is the stupidest shit ever. Someone on twitter said that it's like paying people to pirate the game, and yeah, that's like 100% the case.

The tournament will still get the game exposure, which is what NRS is looking for.

Ultradavid and James Chen should just commentate everything. They're better than everyone even when they don't know anything.

UltraDavid in particular is good at explaining game mechanics during a match, which is good when there's a new game being played.

I honestly think for tourney play interactive environments should be off but Transitions should stay on though.
Interactive stages are just fine. The elements are not random. (And controlled randomness is usually fine to a degree anyway.)I honestly think for tourney play interactive environments should be off but Transitions should stay on though.
Never had an interest in MK9.
I want to play/watch a lot of Injustice. Not gonna lie, 60% of it is the characters.
A good 90% for me.
The other 10% is the removal of the block button.

Yeah but the combo factor and the fact that some players can't pick up some things and others can just has me leaning towards having them off.

Chris G showing how much better his fireball placement is. Threw less fireballs at a health deficit against Dieminion and clutched it out.

oh and the fact that NR actually puts content in their game unlike Capcom makes me want to get Injustice even more
Picked up the season pass myself. Learned my lesson the first time
There are two distinct character archetypes re: which parts they can interact with and how, right?Yeah but the combo factor and the fact that some players can't pick up some things and others can just has me leaning towards having them off.

90 players for Injustice? Kinda surprising that Persona had more at its debut and it didn't have 2 grand on the line.

Yeah, I can't say the same for Chen here. James rocks when he knows the game and keeps it short, though.UltraDavid in particular is good at explaining game mechanics during a match, which is good when there's a new game being played.
Definitely the best in the biz right now.

Valle is getting much better on the mic. I remember just a few years ago he was still struggling to put together complete sentences whenever he got on the stream to make a announcement or do commentary.
I was about to say I thought I remember P4A getting over 100 during it's debut. Still that's a lot of people. We'll see how it does in the coming months.

It really sucks that the only DC character I give 2 shits about is Batman b/c Injustice looks fun.
Well the testers have said that Batman is top tier so you can always go back to Batman and still do well if experimenting with the others doesn't work out.
Edit: Xian on Injustice?

I hope this game does really well tourney wise cause I really like this game. The fighting and combos look great in this game
Watch Xian win it.
I'll put even odds on Floe making top 8 easy.
