Wow you got some great shots.
So you're saying they hired CC2 to do it.
As a FGC first and a smash player second I'm vehemently on the side of #oneunit isn't working and probably won't work.
Should allow games to "die" for better (vanilla SFxT) or worse (VF5:FS), using other games to drag the other games up doesn't make people happy. The games are too different for me to rally behind all of them but the ones I like.

Apex will likely move Brawl and 64 to one day tournament on either Friday or Saturday. It still won't solve the issue that APEX is now the home of two huge game communities now. Both games are going to get 1000+ entries for APEX 2016 and they might host huge crowds for Splatoon and Pokken as well.

hey, moving everything Brawl to Saturday means Smash 4 doubles won't get held up by Brawl!
also you know, presumably they'll start on Friday instead

Looking at the top "ranking" players of RoI, I can make some pretty good guesses as to who is who.
Depends when we get them.
Smash 4 is incredibly boring to watch and its only going to get worse as people get better at defense.
People that were saying Sm4sh is faster or a lot better than Brawl crack me up.
The games going to be even slower with how hard it is to punish rolls and how little shield stun there is. Attacking is not safe most of the time so you have this metagame where you camp in your shield and wait for your opponent to do something and react to it. Not healthy at all.

I have a question for you folks deep in the FGC. What are the different region's specialities what would you rank each region as? Which area has a better average skill spread US,SEA,JP,S.K?

Thanks! It wasn't easy. Filming around CRTs and 4 player games is a lot tougher than the usual 1v1 and flat screens of other games. I'll do even better next time
I don't think it's really possible (or wise) to prop other communities up. Even when developers and publishers do it, everything falls down as soon as the music (and money) stops. People want to play their games, and that's really all there is to it. I don't think people have a ton of interest in helping build other communities.
They're really two communities tied together out of convenience (much like how most FG communities are lumped together mainly due to inertia from the old arcade days)... and even then, I don't know how convenient it is anymore given their size.
This was basically what I've been saying too. The neutral game and offense is a little off at times. And going in can be really messy and awkward. The shield stun and rolls is what bothers me and really affects things.
I still like the game more than Brawl, and I enjoy it more too though. But it definitely has its faults compared to Brawl.
I feel like Brawl had a better neutral/footsie game than Smash 4.

I'm certain nintendo will keep them tied because they want to sell the new game and as long as that effort is there I say you use Nintendo.

Due to arcades and most people have good access to pros? Or is it the over working Asian ethic or am I thinking it too much. (I'm sure arcades and geography make most of the difference)

Missing Canada and Europe in that list..
JP rock at Street Fighter related games, and Airdasher games ie Anime games. Japan rules at Kusoge and poverty games too.
SK also rock at Street Fighter, but they also rule Tekken
China are KoF gods, Mexico too.
US rocks at versus games that have Marvel in the name.
France kinda ruled Soul Calibur for the past couple games.

You can add them. I forgot those areas even though I rate the EU scene over the US scene.

Is that game still trash?
or less bluntly, have they made big improvements to it?

Anyone down to play Xrd? I'm trying to learn Venom.

No, they just added new characters. It doesn't feel anymore mechanically different since they added dash cancels in.
Sure would be nice, still kind of a rough start for this game.
It's pretty much still trash.
But I'm antisocial, so I like being able to queue for matches without needing to find a full group of players.
Spooky is live. Damdai is there!

I think it's good that they are trying to experiment in a different direction compared to the gundam versus arcade games in japan. Clearly they want RoI to have a bigger focus on team play than EXVS does at the moment and they are working towards it. I do agree that the core mechanics are still not there unfortunately.

f.S>Pineberry is no longer safe.
f.S>BridalExpress is reversible on normal block.
f.S-2H is jumpable or jab-able, depending on char.
One guy blocks, the other guy does stuff.

As in "Heathcliff"
That's fine. It fits in general with the rest of the "I have okizeme time for three attempts" nerfs.
God help us. Uh... guess I'll use f.S as a poke. Make people guess. I never buffered a raw f.S into Bridal Express anyway. And I should be far away enough from the opponent to not get hit after I pull out a grenade.
The only thing sad about this is that despite the dominance at Arc Revo Faust is still pretty much the same character. :/
Yea, I mean obviously I don't know how the metagame will turn out in the next couple of years but being a veteran I don't see how the game won't devolve into a mundane camp-fest for viewers.
I think the game is kind of fun and I love the graphics and cast but the gameplay is bad imo from a competitive perspective.
-=slowly pushes him off circle=-
My whole issue is is how you can air dodge so many times. Picking up the game and learning it was easy since I played since N64 days but man, its just frustrating at times. From a competitive standpoint, it will eventually go down imo. As a party game, it will live on as one of the greats cause it is a lot of fun with more people.
