You know how EG won TI5?
They picked top tiers.
USA top players need to get their shit together for SFV. None of this unique snowflake bull shit. Kbrad was on point in the latest Excellent Adventures... he was like "I thought you guys were smart... can't you tell these characters are just better than others?"

Just picking top won't help them. They need to help up their scene and take heart from
I would but it's probbably NSFW :B
just kidding. WIll take a look at it later.
I do agree that they should always play to win, but simply piking the top tier isn't enough, especially when you face other strong players who have a higher degree of mastery over the character and the character doesn't work with your playstyle. Do any of EG even play with a significantly weak character in SF IV? I know Rufus isn't as strong as he used to be but wasn't he still playable last I checked?

Rufus is the worst character in USF4!
Need to pick top tiers like Guile, Chun Li, Yang, Juri and Abel
Sorry, I hear the guy in my avatar give this excuse all the time and I think it's wrong.

What do you mean? America and Japan are on the same level. Even Kazunoko said so.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Drive your tank into the spot on the map to simulate sex
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Have any other top players in japan talked about USA and Japan like that recently?
I wasn't really thinking about the response I was just asking if JP players talked about it before.

The best thing about the last generation's fighting games was the inclusion of online modes in the vast majority of fighters. I hope the defining trait of 8th generation releases is crossplay between consoles and PC. It would help grow the online audience big time and improve the level of competition for online fighting in general. Oh, all fighters also need rollback netcode, but ASW probably couldn't be paid to use it, so I'll settle for multi-fight lobbies for all fighters.

Dogura won the qualifier and he's now on the Pro Alliance team for the Guilty Gear 10v10.
As for SFV, the community needs to step up their game and get the casuals interested into the Capcom Pro Tour. Capcom will have some sort of advertising of the CPT in game which will help, but the community still needs to make the audience feel the hype and get interested in the personalities that make up tournament play. It's impossible to retain everyone, but we just need enough to distance itself from this year's numbers.
This also goes to you Daigo. You need to lose some weight breh. That muscle shit was unnecessary and you now look fat, which was what you didn't want.

Are personalities a big thing in the dota2 community as well?
The big question is how do you get stream monsters/pot monsters involved in the e-sports side of things? I've been asking that for years, and I don't know if there's a good answer.
I feel like events like CEO and Combo Breaker/UFGT have good ideas, but it's more of an anime con feel than say The International.
I know from the MLG event I went to, the vibe is really different.

Benefits of eating placentas are unproven. It's pretty much a placebo placenta.
I wouldn't eat it mostly because the placenta, while serving as a nutrient distribution device for the baby, also acts as a filter between the baby and the mother. I don't like eating filters.

I used to watch MLG a lot and even went to MLG Anaheim in 2009.
The presentation of the fighting game tournaments needs to get better, without the long cutoffs of MLG, and with the same personality exuding from the fgc over what MLG does. There's not much to do at MLG events either. They just have a bunch of booths from their sponsors and setups that are only used for the tournament. Players are kept away from the audience for the most part with the pro player lounge. There's also a lot of empty space.
Give us puzzle fighter setups!

I completely agree that the benefits are questionable. However, I am the sort of person that likes to learn things by trying them. If I always went by nutritional studies, I wouldn't have discovered that carbohydrates have such deleterious effects on my health so early. ;-)
It's difficult to gauge the effects in a clinical trial since the proposed benefits of placentophagy are hard to measure in a clinical trial: increased energy, and improved lactation rate. Some women have said that they became anxious due to being overly energized when they took their pills, and had to stop to feel normal again. Assuming that these effects are true, it would seem that the pills aren't for every women. I just know that my wife will be trying them, and we'll see how it goes.

I think trying to go completely grassroots to grow to such a size is not going to work. Even if it did, it would end up getting swallowed up by the related businesses due to the logistics and financial commitment required. Capcom (and Sony now) would need to be behind the push and they really need to buy into it. That's the only way that kind of growth is going to be even remotely sustainable.
Uh... welp?
And then someone picks a low tier character that the top players have no match up experience and blow them up.
Remember Justin losing free to Gamerbee back then?
Hitting two fireball supers with Akuma from max range is hilarious though. (Full screen ground version, jump forward and air version.)
Fixed kinda

Picking a top tier for the purpose of competing and learning what the hell it is that other characters actually do aren't mutually exclusive. Not doing the latter is fucking up but that doesn't mean you're wrong in doing the former.
DOTA is the 2nd most popular.
Players misunderstanding the actual tier list isn't uncommon in the first couple years of the game.
Its partly why everyone refuses to do one for Ultra.
it was "ST" before
Yea it's better to just pick a main and master that character and maybe just play several characters on the side for matchups.
Seems the way to go in Street Fighter you look at players like Bonchan, Daigo, Tokido, Poongko, Louffy, Dieminion, PR Balrog, Snake Eyez etc. Most of the better players have been playing their characters for a very long time and learned to adapt to nerfs/buffs and new game play mechanics.

http://www.twitch.tv/electronicdojo in Top 8 USF4 right now. F-Word is in losers top 8!!!!
That's like Ultra David making a top 8.

At least that's more popular.
Let's be real, "WTF were they thinking" describes basically every design decision in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Someone should make a thread to discuss Alpha 3 cuz there were some criticisms about it back when it was talked about in previous forums I posted in before GAF
Yea it's also not even a relevant excuse because that isn't how Street Fighter 4 works.
Tons of character variety. Pick a top tier means everyone play Evil Ryu? Then you need to learn how to play a shoto, which is a completely different approach from playing a grappler or a footsie character.
Just pick a strong character? What is considered strong in the game....we've seen Gen, Sagat, Rose, Akuma, Fei, Ken, Yun, Elena, Rolento and plenty other characters do very well in the last year.

We just need more Nuckle Dus and less reliance on the old guard. Bring up people who are outside of the old cliques to bring up their level and you can change the culture that way. Outside of like 5 people I have written off the current top crop of players talking about new blood.
two main ones:
it causes massive input lag on the other player's controllers alongside other weirdness- it'll actually add ghost inputs if it's an older model
the hardware draws a ton of power from console, prone to frying xboxes or usb ports for that reason
i can confirm both are true too b/c i've had to deal with it in multiple tournaments both as someone helping run that shit and a competitor
Whoa, glad I didn't get one.
I really appreciate hearing from you, James Chen, and others on how much the calendar has been a help after the shit that I got from people for making one.

Full meter as the match begins is basically an endorsement of savagery.

Top Tiering makes the ride easier in various scenarios in a match to survive or get going but it doesn't guarantee a win :/
Just look at EVO. We had team armor win and things like Frutsy's Modok/Cap America team fly pretty far.
pretty sure ST hasn't seen a 600-man tourney in a while
