Kumite in Tennessee is the same weekend and has 7 (free) streams to pick from, last I checked.The difference with this is that you don't see players of this caliber play in an extended set for a bunch of money all of the time, and there's plenty of people who are interested in watching it. The question is whether the entertainment value is worth their money versus finding a free/illegal restream or YouTube rip.
Plus the majority of streams nowadays either have a subscription or ask for donations or run commercials, so some cost is being attributed to somebody. Plus there's no other streams to beat since there's nothing else going on fighting game wise on that weekend.
But the short answer is people are cheap and if they can avoid paying for something, they will.
omgAnime twitter is messed up. I watched a stream of a guy reading Sonic fan fiction (Yaoi) while D'angelo- Brown Sugar is playing in the background.
Yams was so close to the spotlight yet so far away.
Rage arts is still tied to being at 20% of your lifebar, but now they've added a more accessible, emphasized, stylized comeback mechanic since you can press a couple of buttons and land an attack that does a huge grip of damage.
Practically, you can't avoid that portion of an opponent's health bar. Eventually you are going to have to deal with rage, and putting someone in rage happens more often than not. People said the same thing about rage in Tekken 6, but you watch enough high level matches and you see that it's not the case, especially now that people prefer to do 3/5 sets.
Yeah this always made me smile too. Some of those names can be surprising.I remember Dean Earwicker way back from the initial Tekken 4 announcement, but I also remember the name from Tekken 5. In the game's single player mode where you rank up against the AI, the name for Steve's Tekken Lord rank AI was "Dean Earwicker".
When I saw that in Tekken 5, I couldn't help but smile.
Tekken purists are prob going to hate this idea, but I wonder how SamSho-style rage gauges would work in Tekken.
What I mean:
you get rage from getting hit
Ki Charge would change from what it does now to charging your rage like it did in SamSho3, Rage gain increases the lower in life you are
Rage lasts for a set time until it's gone or you land the supermove
Rage carries over between rounds
Rage gain rates are char specific- some chars get rage faster and lose it faster, some get it slower but keep it for a long time.
I think that would be a bit more interesting than what they have right now, but perhaps at the cost of some randomness that Tekken players won't like, and it would add a bit of strategy to the management.

It was a great article and I truly respect Sirloin, but he often streaks with this pretension of authority on a subject he doesn't have. You can tell that his knowledge of Guilty Gear isn't where it needs to be to make some of the damning proclomations against AC/+R design decisions. I suspect he knows this on some level.
"I beat a bunch of asians by myself, once. I know what I'm talking about."
If that's not insecurity, I don't know what is.
I think his dislike for option selects mainly comes from the fact that he does not want the game to dictate his action for him...if that makes sense.
Like, Sirlin's gameplan would be to just commit to one option in any given situation, rather than do a option select. Like, he gets a knockdown and goes for a meaty throw. If the opponent backdashes, he'll get a 6HS and get punished, which is how he believes the game should "flow", so to speak. He doesn't want to input 6HS+P, and get a 6P when the opponent backdashes in that knockdown situation, when he intended to do a throw, even if it'll save his ass.
I want some filet mignon.
Regarding SF4 throw OS, which would you guys prefer? Punch taking priority over kick so we don't get lows out of the OS, or would you have throw techs not available for crouching inputs?
FChamp has nothing on the one true god Justin Marvelous Wong.
Rally Jackson was Eddy's original name.
Stop voting for frauds, ya'll.
I vote Yams.
I was about to vote for Smedwicks but then at the last second Chris G won out in my mind.
I vote Yams-sama =v=
I hope you've been reading the giant list of manga I've sent you you turbo nerd
Oh god a double feature? I kind of would like Yams to get his own week, but if that's what the people want and if it fits the thread.
Up to you, Yams.
-=kicks smedgie boy=- Stop being bad.

My mistake. I thought it was the week after because KiT is what I will be watching.
Edit: I usually put the major events on my own personal calendar, and it's a pain in the ass trying to keep track of events, date changes, etc.
I decided to just make a public calendar for the major events for those who want to check it out that I plan on maintaining.

nice! just to add another event to your calendar, there's shadowloo showdown happening the week after apex (https://www.facebook.com/events/775702835826397/).
I'm still transferring stuff from my old calendar to this new one, so I am just about to add it.
If there's anything else that people want to see added or have any suggestions/comments, just hit me up directly since I may not see it with the amount of posts this thread gets.
