Yeah agree. Tbh I think the people who are really hype for Ultimax are the people who are also hype for Persona 5 and that may or may not include people who are fighting game enthusiasts. AH3:LM is pretty much destined to be a niche fighting game series forever and eternity in the west at least just by the game's very nature. This would have been the case had they released the game in a season of no competition from other fighting games. As long as the dedicated community for it is willing to press buttons in it I'm happy. Not every fighting game needs to become the next street fighter in terms or popularity, player base, and stream views.
I've always told myself to play KoF, because if you can anti air in KoF you can anti air in anything.
I think Ultimax will end up doing the best of all the anime games released this year, because of the huge numbers of low-lvl players, which will feed pot monster ego, and then they'll start showing to tournies. I'm on the fence about Ultimax myself, but that's more of a do I want to bother with consoles again question more than a do I want to play this game question.
It's perceived (and maybe actual) ease of execution compared to will help, as folks can pick it up for a side game.
Love Max is going to continue the Arcana curse (similar to the Lab Zero curse).
Machabo didn't make it, a little surprised on that. Rooting for N-O/Dogura team for BB, Ain for GG, and no clue for P4U2.
Man you live in New York right? You got a million people to level up with
I'm crossing my fingers that the pc netcode will get fixed relatively soon.
Jiewa got destroyed. He put up a good fight but couldn't clutch anything out. HB took it 3-0.

I hope the next kof makes AA normals a bit better. There are some in 13 that are okay like kensou's st.D but there were much better ones in the older games and more characters had them. Though i feel a lot of modern games appeal to the combo fetish people have. Like beni was a pretty strong footsie character in the older ones, he still has strong footsies in 13 but you just get so much out of learning his combos like lightning loops that one conversion could make up for a whole rounds worth of single st.D, knees, and raijinkens. Combos do scare a lot of people from the game so i wonder if they will scale back, which i honestly doubt they will.

SNK has hinted the next one will play more like 98- so real man's KOF and not anime game KOF.
The combo fetish thing seems to be declining in Japan- probably due to oversaturation/boredom. That said, even VF fell prey to the overcomboing this gen.

endless lobby seems to have come to decent levels following that 2.9mb patch 2 days ago.
we had 5 gaffers in one room, and only noticeable issues came from one who already had spotty internet in the first place.
Honestly they should have just left it at the Drive Cancel system for combos and it would have been fine. Hyper Drive is what takes it over the top.
Though in a way I'm still glad that we have a KOF where SNK went all out like that with gameplay systems.
In the early version of XIII, during the loketest, the drive cancel bar would increase up to a maximum of 4 (like your power bars increase after you lose characters). That would have been a nice alternative to HD as well.
Anyway, HD can go but drive cancel should definitely stay in the series moving forward. They make the combo system so much more fun and unique (and don't result in overly long combos most of the time).
ggpo is nice. played third strike till 6 in the morning. Things I did while banned. not play SFIV. Done with that shit for good.

Was thinking about this the other day. It must be so damn nice to live in Japan and be a part of the FGC. Just from a cultural perspective. The (possibly misinformed) perception I have is that you're never that far from an arcade in one of the bigger cities. The fact you're always putting money on the line, and that it's linked up with no lag, must be a really good experience.
I wish we had that in the west. Not that you can't always find a local scene, but I'm just talking from a regular "popping out to the arcade" experience. This thought has probably been done to death. Would be nice, is all.

The core Persona players have been getting impatient waiting on it lol. Most of the top P4U players I know are quietly playing UNiEL (they all love it for some reason, I do too) until P4U2 drops. A few of us are working on some stuff for when it gets closer to release as well, so keep an eye out.

warning: on blast show
Its Blood Red talking about how emp help build the evo brand and they deserve some of that cut. More of the players have the right to say to streamers "I don't want you to film me unless I get paid XYZ". Basically telling the high player as a whole to boycott streams until they get paid rofl
I wonder, has any Esports game done that and demanded "if I come to your event you have to pay me (in some way)"?

I know and I do. Thing is I play with them strictly offline cause we always get salty when there are losses online, the lag is odd on my end and with some of the people I've heard complaining about it in the past, I'm reluctant on dropping 40 bucks for lag city. Might get Patrick (DaFeetLee) to play me more, everybody I play at locals are horrible, I can only find really good players at NLBC.
I don't have Ultra yet, only tried it on multiple occasions at locals. Thanks for the offer though, once I get Ultra, I'll hit you back up.
Hm, I'll see. I only wanna get Ultra once the online is stable, playing on PC was hellish for me on Arcade Edition, even though my internet is godlike.
Not really, but better than average.
I might drop SF in like a year or so once I can get my hands on Xrd. Wish Marvel online wasn't horrible and didn't die due to Galactus.
The same EMP that said to go to VXG over EVO? The same EMP that says year in and year out EVO will be irrelevant and Esports will take over? The same EMP saying this year will be another dynasty year only to have several key members leave finally? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
That's so ridiculously stupid. How would anyone even know who they are if not for events and streams? Why not boycot, see how long it takes before everyone forgets who you are, and then see if it was smart to demand a cut for showing up.

GGPO can be a lot of fun, check out the nightwarriors community if you haven't
I thought Ultra might reignite my love of SF more than it has, I still play fairly often but not nearly as much as I thought I would be. The most fun I have for online matches right now is Killer Instinct, although the ranked online has been broken lately (patch on the way last I heard.)

I dunno, but you have to sign a waiver at pretty much every major I've ever been to that grants the TO the right to record you and use that footage, so good luck with that idea.

GGPO is definitely a lot of fun but instances of elitism are pretty annoying :/

I play darkstalkers once in a while, but I rather not get bodied by dyne on repeat.

what a fantastic lawyer blood red is
EMP will rise again. It has been foretold.
that kind of attitude is why triforce is in the shitter. dude wants to destroy the guys putting on events because there's some pennies to be made. in the end all the pros protesting would be quickly forgotten while new stars emerge.

In theory it isn't that bad. For example having Team EG at a major probably results in a lot more viewers, so they could potentially ask for a cut to send them.
Sure that doesn't apply to EVO and the cut for other tournaments would be like $4. But they could still put some pressure on. They could also ask for donations not to send team EG players to tournaments...this could also work.
In practice, since the money isn't there, it just comes down to "top player privilege" which I'm sure there is already lots of.

I am not sure how that Zeta Jones pic is relative to this thread, so...Soul Fist dodging?
look at Catherine zeta jones
The best thing to come out of my country since.... well, ever I suppose.
Also i'm loving third strike online playing with fellow noobs. Sucking at first but had a three game streak going and was going nuts! Fighting games rule.
Wales. Like a boss.
what country might that be my robotic comrade?

don't know what this has to do with fighting games but mmmmmmm.
It had Cath in a catsuit. Sean Connery took a real back seat in the film.
I thought this would've been common knowledge...
Most tournaments have this in place. It's fairly common. Not sure why Blood Red thinks thats an option.
Because he's someone willingly appearing on OBS.
