Not Laika, that's a Marvel character called Cosmo. Obviously based off Laika (and the other animals the USSR shot off into space). He talks. Well, at least he does in the comics.

Digital sales saved the day?
AlteredBeast
Fork 'em, Sparky!
Any interest in a 3S tournament?
In lieu of that, I would love to see the best of the best on GAF that are willing to blow the dust off of their old copies of SFIII Online Edition for 360 get on and play whenever. I effectively play every night from around 11:00pm CST to 2:00 am CST

Wtf....why?
It's not that bad... but it's pretty bad. I would expect it to be about 3-4k digital sales (and that's just kind of a spitball guess based on past performance of digital sales for other games), Honestly. I'm kind of curious to see if there's any kind of spike from people outside of Japan buying the game on PSN (which would then be offset, at least in part, by all the people sharing it).
He probably got that eeeeeeeee-sports hook-up. PC version doesn't drop frames!!! (Seriously, the thing can run on a damn toaster.)
Yatagarasu getting added is weird, though... and wasn't there some talk about UNIEL being added (at least on a trial basis) as well?
so now on top of really long button checks we might have levelup fixing driver issues that pop up.
PC component sponsorships = more $$$
you havent played on PC before have you? its glorious.

UNIEL is the first fighting game I've played where I've gotten matched up with folks who are names in the FGC. Hellpockets, Honzo Gonzo and now Wolfkrone. The last of which bodied me pretty badly, but then he sent me a friend request. Must be the novelty of my PSN username.
PC USF4 doesn't lag on any stage and has lightning fast load times.
EDIT: Locally, of course.

Yes, I own it. Barely play it though.
Just seems like it might complicate things. If it's smooth though, then no complaints.
Fascinating. I expect this to be a blow up considering a trillion fundamental issues with the platform vs. home consoles, but it would be interesting to see if any tournament where a significant number of people show up can be run all on PC.
Sounds strange for Super Arcade and their finances in particular though.
EDIT: Unless they're planning on running other PC games though.
I watched that MarlinPie mixup...geez. Part of me wanted to sob when I saw the forward back top hitboxes. Oy.
Guardians of the Galaxy is top 10 movie all time for me. So rewatchable. Also, that title screen (after the intro) w/ Star Lord entering the ruins...so good. so good.

I like they're trying something new. Who knows? Maybe more people will show now that they have a stick that's compatible. I know the only reason I don't go to some local events is because I don't own a PS3 stick.
I went from a guy not bothering to pay for recent movies to wanting to pay to watch it a third time. That's how good that movie is.
Also, you know, the crippling social anxiety.

Hey guys,
Thanks for tuning in our sneak peek of Season 3/4 events!
We're trying out some new things for the fighting game scene such as USF4 and Yatagarasu on PC.
Also in case you're wondering, the PC's are sponsored by Alienware so Super Arcade kickstarter funds were not used for this venture at all.
A full blogpost will be up tomorrow!

I think it might just be the best movie-going experience I've ever had, up there with The Dark Knight. The movie is just raw fun extract, and it makes no apologies for it, right up until the very conclusion. More films need to be like GotG.
Out of curiosity, are they SteamBoxes?
Pretty cool of Alienware though, s/o to them.
I've still ignored ranked for the most part :X

PC is great for home users but can be a nightmare for tournaments. What comes to my mind immediately are the input lag and driver issues that happened on the recent SGDQ marathon stream when they would run various PC games. Open platforms have a lot of issues for public events and require more knowledge to squash quickly. And that's not even mentioning how much more difficult it can be to acquire usable PC setups for a local event when compared to consoles.
That said, I'm personally extremely disillusioned with console gaming in general right now and don't want to buy either a PS4 or XB1 if it can be helped.

Super interesting, hope this works out well.
Are all stations for USF4 going to be PC then?

If it's a PC tourney, can we get Vanilla Sagat and nude Cammy mods for all the stations?
The 2nd best selling digital PS3 game (after Minecraft) for the entire month of June was World Soccer Winning Eleven 2014: Samurai Blue Challenge.
It sold 3,767 during World Cup month.
It really is that bad.
Heck, it might be worse.
BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma only did 4.1k during its debut month (of course its sales were too low afterwards to be tracked).
And that's ArcSys's best selling game ever.
Nice

Now people are going to have to make sure their sticks are PC compatible too.
Not a complete hassle, but still, another minor complication.

Sent you a PM
EDIT: About the "sometimes not a blockstring" part: sometimes opponents will be able to mash some invincible move between the blocked jab and the fierce electricity(or between blocked jab and fierce HHS with Honda). It's not common at all but it happens. In Blanka's case you can go for the faster jab electricity(and you'll be safe but you'll have less frame advantage/chip damage), in Honda's case you're fucked no matter what version you do. DISCLAIMER: I have only played Ultra a couple times at friends gatherings.
if it works on the ps3 or xbox 360 then it should work on pc. i think the xbox one arcade stick doesn't work properly on pc though.
360 sticks automatically work on PC once the initial driver is installed.
PS3 sticks are another story depending on the manufacturer.
We'll see how Valle handles some of the complications. But seriously not having to deal with console issues is great.
This is depressing me.
MadCatz sticks work just fine.

In other news, holy shit that MarlinPie mixup.

Why do games I like always sell like butt dooky?!
im equally psyched/perplexed about them running yatagarasu at TRB. never imagined that game being a big mainstream title with a lot of people playing it but if it ends up that way that would be great. if it ends up with a small dedicated playerbase that shows up that would be great too. hope uniel gets put in the lineup as well.
i wonder if yatagarasu is gonna pull in some 3s players.

Because this is the path you've chosen
I play 3s and it pulled me in. So that's something at least.
It's their fault for being so much fun.
