Fighting Games Weekly | April 8-14 | Cena-Factor validated, WWEsports remain stAGEd

Real rap, Gootecks is the sissiest looking drinker I've ever seen. And when I say that, I mean how someone holds their cup/can and how they look when they drink.

Dude is metro to a fault. Still the best, though.

Ahh yes.
Good ol' Texas Showdown...

And here I thought you were going to show some pictures of anything related to Texas Showdown 1-5, which was when it actually was the good old TX Showdown. Ironically, that tourney was godlike all the way up to MLG's involvement with TS5: then the name turned to shit. Ranma and Javi are the original founders taking charge again, so well see. it's been almost 10 years since a good TS :(

Injustice Monsters:
Even though I realize there will be a significant segment of Neogaf that absolutely will not play this game, myself and NerdJosh made a small tutorial showing some of Wonder Woman's combo potential and setups.

Its not really a complete tutorial since stuff has changed in the final build. Lots of things. But it should be enough to get you guys started.

I hope that isn't true although I was lazy and havent registered yet.

Hey, anybody want to try out my fighter and give me some thoughts? The netcode is ass right now but offline it plays pretty well. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Can you give us some details about it?

I promise to give the game a fair shake if Neatherrealm sends me a review copy. :-)

Otherwise, it's horrifying bias.

Yeah, I haven't really been in or around the FGC that long, so my only exposure to it has been notoriously negative.
I've heard of how great an event it was in the past, so hopefully they pull off a comeback.

Go type in Texas Showdown 5 in google if you want to see videos of the old (good) texas showdown. That was honestly the best one because it combined Chris Mutt's resources (Stargate was a arcade in Houston around that time) with MLG resources (they ran halo there, they were a lot smaller then) and they did it right, unlike Evo's marriage with MLG in the mid-00s that was just a disaster

So to sum it up:
TS1 - TS4 completely community based up until TS5 where it starts to have corporate involvement

Basically after that, Planet Zero and John Emotiongear took over and he has a long standing history of screwing players over, making them have to jump through hoops for Tougeki passes/qualifications (I went through this myself - I qualified for Tougeki under his arcade and it was one of the worst experiences ever - and I never got my comment in the Tougeki magazine, of the poster saying that yo uwere a qualifier - at the time that was a big fucking deal to go to Tougeki), not paying players on time (for sometimes years,) rigging brackets the whole nine. So I'm very very glad that it is resetting to the original founders.

Actually, I've got a few friends who were arguing over Wonder Woman's movelist and what she could pull off; they'll love this video. Thanks for making it, man.
 
Special event worth mentioning:

NYU Spring Fighter 2013 with Daigo Umehara and Seth Killian [ Saturday ] [ 10AM EDT | 7AM PDT ]

Poster by the same artist from last year, Rachel E Morris. Website Tumblr Twitter

Continuing the NYU Game Center’s mission to support the New York game scene and expose our students to the most interesting and vital portions of the game industry, this year’s Spring Fighter is an even more elaborate event than in the past. First, a tournament featuring three games, Street Fighter 4 AE, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom, and Street Fighter x Tekken, will begin at 10am and go until 6pm. Then, at 7pm the Game Center will present a conversation between legends, with Seth Killian sitting down and talking to Daigo Umehara about his life in and outside the Street Fighter scene.

Yo Art, LI Joe said yesterday that the retail version is WAY better than the demo, do you agree? I mean, of course it will be different, but it's that better?

I answered this yesterday, yes it is a lot different.
NerdJosh couldnt show some of his proper WW tech acuse flat out, things dont work properly or have been heavily adjusted from the Demo to Final.

Which characters looked the best in whichever is the latest version of the game you played?
 
tbh the only reason why I'm not getting injustice day 1 is the netcode primarily. The other reason is that I didn't really like the movement of the game. To me it still looks clunky but that can change.

Thats for you guys to find out. I'm not blowing up the tiers when the game isnt even out yet. Lol.

I will say this, by the end of our focus test, we (as a focus tester group) could -not- come to a consensus on who the bottom 3 was in the game. We kept finding tech, and stuff was being changed on a daily (sometimes 2-3 builds a day even) basis.

FYI on that NYU Spring Fighter note:

NYU Game Center has always been the shit. Great venue, amazing staff, great resources, great internet to work with. And Daigo is coming. It's like our 3rd year being there and my 5th event I've attended there. I've had the chance to be on a panel with Sirlin/Seth last time I was theree. I'm really looking forward to this one.
 
I've heard a few people who've been playing the pirate version say that Harley sucks. Harley has been my waifu since like 95 so if she really does suck I'm gonna be sad :(

Oh well. Not like I never play low tier.

Relax, people don't know shit. They played a 2 day-3day old pirate build and they think she sucks? lol
 
Wrestling sucks.

Will we see some Ryu/Sim action just like old times ?
 
A couple of guys in my FL already play the game.

Tbh, I think the game looks pretty whacky. It's Mortal Kombat without the charm of mortal kombat... so pretty much "meh". Well, I'm glad that the MK crowd has a new game to play.
 
Tron is in a heavily armory combat suit/mech and she doesn't move like tanks.

Hulk, thor, haggar don't move like tanks.

sentinel in mvc2 doesn't move like tank

And that's a completely different style of fighting game.

I don't expect Zangief in SF4 to move like Zangief in MvC.

And perhaps it's okay for a large mechanical character to have large mechanical movement, not the same jumping and dashing around as everyone else.
 
It is whacky, but it's the right kind of whacky. It's really satisfying to play because it's just scrappy and bizarre enough to feel fresh and unique.

Like, you AA with Aquaman's d2. Because you hit them very high, you get this sort of combo. But you hit them so high they ended up behind you?! OH WELL, COMBO ANYWAY.

@NYCFurby, please upload awesome Aquaman tech for me to borrow. :D

Also, do you know how significant the build differences are between the Black Adam build and final retail? I noticed that there was a glitch with the menus when viewing the moves list in the build I played at the pre-release.
Please say Black Adam isn't as good as I think he is.
 
Can you give us some details about it?

Definitely. Expo-fighter is basically e3 the fighting game. I've been working on it for about a year and im hoping to get it out just before this years e3. I'm trying to get it playing similar to ST with some of the added flavor of 3s. Its definitely a fundamentals focused game.

It's browser based and currently I have 2 of the 3 characters in game. Check out www.expo-fighter.com for more info although I don't have a lot of info posted currently.

Theres a gaf thread about it too although its pretty dead.
 
I want to go to NCR but I don't have transportation.

Though I do want to play Divekick. I might register for that and AE if I can find my way there.

New TTT2 Korean E Sport TV show announced:

http://www.avoidingthepuddle.com/ne...n-tournament-tekken-strike-to-debut-soon.html

149243_491182134270987_1300490855_n.jpg


According to google translate, the prize money for this will be 700 million won. That's approximately 613,500 US dollars. #Esports

Tekken was already at MLG Dallas. We're already E-sports.

Anyway, that prize money is craaaaaaazy. And I'm very happy to see we're getting more Tekken action.

How much prize money did Tekken Crash and Tekken Busters have?
 
What happened to tekken crash?

Tekken Crash already finished. We got Tekken Busters after Tekken Crash. And now we're getting Tekken Strike.

Catch up on the archives mayne (from the Tekken OT).

[*] Tekken Busters - The highest level of Tekken competition in the universe. NO country in the world has a level of play like the Koreans. (That model's name is Lee Eun-Hye and she could still probably beat half of GAF)
