Well to be fair, Bonchan also said that Sagat was weak now.

then Evo came, and he did the thang. So there's that.

Yeah but he's complaining now about it, after having been outclassed by Bonchan at EVO.

"I was supposed to leave Empire Arcadia long ago. Around December I was set on leaving, but then one of the core members passed away and it was just a very emotional time so I stayed for a bit longer just out of respect for Nelson ["Remix" Rayes] and the other members and the brand itself," Du "NuckleDu" Dang said. "Time went by and eventually I found myself losing a lot of money because the CEO of Empire Arcadia [Triforce] borrowed a large sum of money. I've always had sympathy for a guy who has such passion for something but is in such a struggle to make it happen. The details of this is not my business to discuss, but I just knew this had to stop. One empty promise after another, I knew this wasn't the kind of future I wanted."

Oh, I don't think he has much of a leg to stand on either with that. If anything it shows his ability, or lack thereof, to adjust to changing situations and improvise on the fly. Not a bad thing, (but it is weird, he's a Bboy, Improv should be at the very core of his character) but everyone knew Ultra was going to be the version used, and no one had extensive play time with it before. So in that sense it was about as 'fair' as you're going to get.

Redbull interview with Ryan Hart, doesn't sound too happy with Ultra being chosen over AE2012 for EVO:


It's a pretty basic read about his history, but good stuff in it.

Pretty interesting interview. He comes of as a bit like a whiner, though. There was a part that reminded me of the poeple on SRK who complained about all the 09ers.

Ryan Hart has always, and will always, be Cryin' Hart. He whines about everything.

....Fei's change amkes no sense as Fei's c.lk isn't even chainable

They also didn't fix any of Elena's hitbox bugs or her b.hk not getting CH bonus ;_;

Also, it seems like there are Famitsu scans with a new Xrd character, looks like a good(as opposed to evil) Ramlethal with white skin, pink hair and wearing what looks like a wedding dress take on Ram's outfit. Looks horrible, hopefully just a story character.

White Ramlethal is good and black Ramlethal is evil? Racist.

Twitch CEO Emmett Shear responds to "why do you still hate the FGC?" question with answer of "Why are you still beating your wife?" Woah.

Du is like 18 now or something, I think.

 

[El Sloth]

If he did actually say that, then he's already deleted it: www.reddit.com/user/optimizeprime

Edit: lol nope, he just edited it:

To be fair, that is a loaded question.

That was a loaded question tho, but why touch this subject?! He could have said anything but this

 

[Shito]

Yep, either answer like the question was not loaded to begin with, or don't answer at all.
This is why those AMAs are usually NOT a good idea when you are not very well versed in the PR field...

This is odd, was the whole thing on Google allegedly buying Twitch true? Haven't kept up with anything for the past week. Plus, this is so golden.

I don't even know for sure tbh.

But that link. When he talks about breaking Top Ramen, #dead

I hadn't heard about this before:

http://www.westcoastwarzone.com/continue-tournament

In a 128 man bracket, 32 players will go home with a record of 0-2 after having paid a venue fee along with the game entry.

Maybe you just got an unlucky bracket.

Maybe you just didn’t know how to play against that character.

Either way, it’s over, time for you to pack up your stick. For some it will make them hungrier, and for others they will feel discouraged to keep playing and for all we know the community has grown weaker by 1.

At Warzone, we believe the latter should never happen. That's why we invented the:

Continue? Tournament

Applies to ALL Official Tournament Games

• All players that go 0-2 (0 wins, 2 losses) will automatically be entered into a Single Elimination tournament bracket. Brackets will not be seeded nor location wary, but will be randomized.
• All matches will follow the official tournament rules along with sets (2/3 for SF, 3/5 for Marvel, etc)
• A Disqualification (DQ) at any point during the main tournament disqualifies you from participating in the Continue? Tournament.
• Continue? Tournament will run until Grand Finals.
• Grand Finals Match: To be played on the Main Stage on Finals Day before it’s respective game.
• Prizes will be awarded to the winner (currently undisclosed, but it will be worthwhile)

There’s a certain magic about actually playing on the Main Stage. Don’t take our word for it, but once you experience it, the screaming and yelling, the chants, the atmosphere… you want to go back. You want the crowd behind you. You want the cheers. You want to win.

Whether it’s in the next years Continue? Tournament (hopefully not), or whether it’s as a legitimate Top 8 contender, we believe that the Continue? Tournament will continue to push and foster better players for many years to come.

Pretty cool idea.

until mid-tier players intentionally go two and out on purpose, then mop the floor with the low-level players in the tourney to get that side tournament prize

get your yellow cards ready

probly over audiogate. I won't be able to play usf4 on pc until like monday-tuesday since I'm out of town. That is also an interesting thing to do at wcw, but yea I guess depending on the prize I could see some gatekeepers going for those prizes lol

 

[twozerotwo]

It sounds like a pretty cool idea but only if the prize ends up being some kind of novelty item and not cash because that could happen pretty easily.

Nah I like the simplicity of her outfit in XX over Xrd

and more than anything I just don't like what they did to her face. Millia had such a distinct expression in XX. It conveyed so much personality to me.

In Xrd she's just another wide eyed pointy chinned female anime character.

She just got more fabulous. I'm alright with her new design except for that dumb looking hat and stiff looking idle stance. I guess it is weird to see Milia smile since she always had a cold demeanor in her portraits and speeches. People change I guess??? ಠ_ಠ

They changed the art style to be a modern mainstream anime style.

It's like complaining that Alpha Ken and SF4 Ken look radically different.

I'm fairly certain Reddit AMAs are scheduled a while in advance, so the timing on that + the audio stuff is probably a coincidence.
