Eh, it felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy/artsy then to actually say anything meaningful. Not to say I didn't find it enjoyable but it was painfully obvious Oscar bait.

I found it very thoughtful, personally.

I heard from a credible insider that Daigo is playing Battle Fantasia
Such a heart breaker but the lost to Flocker fueled him to win the next Evo, If he won against flocker I am not sure he would have been driven enough to win the next one.
there was a lot to digest, I think - is there a difference between an actor and a celebrity, and where do we draw the line? how do we find meaning in success?It's a very good possibility that it may have just went over my head
It has NOTHING to do with that show, so don't expect it.
It's unnecessarily confusing in a trailer but basically it's not actually about any real superhero but instead the trails and tribulations of an aging white action star who used to play Birdman (a superhero movie in the universe of the movie made back in the 70s) and is now struggling to put on a play to prove he's a Real Actor/Artist, and some of the people around him. Known for its cool gimmick where it looks like it's filmed all in one shot.

What if the Marvel he picks up is Marvel 2
the trailer is misleading, watch this scene instead.
Trailers don't really work for movies like this I find. Still, here's one of them.
Edit: Oneida's clip is better look at that instead.
Goddamn....
You can basically extrapolate that scene to the movie as it's mostly made up of scenes like that with some transitioning.
One thing I did find pretty cool about the movie was how it was really a movie that was about a play and so was like a play in how it was structured.
I.e. a lot of good monologuing and characters' realizations driving the plot
can't wait to see it, going to try and go in with an open mind. a lot of people are mad it lost best pic.

I had always heard that Daigo gave up on GG because it was too hard. I wonder if there is anything to that.

The only movie I saw this year was The Theory of Everything. Pretty good since I only knew about Hawking's theories vs Hawking's family and daily life.
Man, Punisher is amazing and I am glad to see MarlinPie again. Cosmos looks like a force and his change of playstyle based on his character order and decision making was so good. I haven't seen too many people able to escape so many incoming.

Birdman was REALLY good. Well warranted for its Academy Award. I'd see it again.

The only thing I ever heard / read concerning that was once Sol's dustloop was out, he bounced.

Punisher is really good. I've played him a few times before and he's just a solid player too. He's also pretty chill guy.

What if Daigo is playing Hearthstone ??
i haven't watched house of crack in a while but i don't remember there being a serious morrigan user there. i think flux has a morrigan team but that isn't going to be good enough.
Daigo's gonna break into the LoL scene
Hearthstone is more random than Marvel is, so that's not happening.
I think if Capcom made a CVS type game with only Capcom characters, then maybe that could work. There's not enough people out there to care about a non MVC versus game unless someone puts $500K behind it.
Like I said before.
No one wins at fighting games, some people are just less shitty at them.
The only way to win at fighting games is to not play them , and play moba's and card games and shit on stream and make money.

Definitely gotta start playing UNIEL again with the NA release.
Gonna have to drop Akatsuki though.
The struggle is too real.

Does the F in FGW stand for film?
Boyhood is absolutely amazing. I watched it back when it came out and identified heavily with it.

hockey's my favorite sport, but only a million and a half people play it worldwide. the best hockey players in the world had to beat a million and a half other humans to get to the top. by contrast, a quarter of a billion people play soccer, meaning the best soccer players had to get by orders of magnitude more people to get to where they are. so the competition to be the best hockey player is shorter and likely less fierce than to be the best soccer player. certainly it's possible that the best hockey player is as athletic or talented as the best soccer player, but that's not likely given the numbers.
that's how i feel about games like injustice, mk9, doa, skullgirls, north american under night, etc: the player pools are so much smaller that winning a big tournament is a shorter, likely less competitive process. my favorite games since sf4 are mostly nrs and anime games. but i wouldn't expect that more than just a few of the best nrs and north american anime players could keep up with the best street fighter players, even just the north american ones.
i'm sure the same is true of other games elsewhere. in korea i would expect top tekken players to mostly be better than top sf players, in china i would expect top kof players to mostly be better than top sf players, etc. there's nothing inherently special about sf players. there are just more of them in most places, so the competition to win them is longer and likely tougher, so the people who get through that are likely stronger.
but anyway, sonic fox winning so many other games definitely makes me think he has the talent to keep up in street fighter if he wants. but he doesn't need to. i mean i hope people keep playing hockey, after all.

A CVS game with only Capcom characters would get even less attention than a Capcom VS All stars game.

Well Kazunoko is already playing ADC Graves because he's a tier whore
Daigo would probably play Top Nasus

I love those games, but that is a much different game than the Marvel games.

Yeah, I think SonicFox has talent and could be successful in other games but that's not necessarily a given. Other games have more players and more talent in their pools meaning that the competition is going to be elevated as a result. All of the games he dominates in have small player pools and very little international competition as well.
He doesn't really need to expand into other games as long as he's having fun at what he's doing right now. No reason to go to SF if he finds his current stuff more fun.

the only thing to me would be is if the prize payout on sf4 be worth the time to put in. I guess for him, he probably doesnt really care that much for it

So now that I have a bit of time, I've set up a spread sheet for the Q fund this year.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CaY-ivbUOZpjdHwDw0ZLATnMDIWTfNMfNbYwzWwBvEg/edit#gid=0
Details are in the sheet. We should at least get registration done really soon to secure the passes.
I need to do that myself too but I still can't decide on games, lol.
