Need to start a poll in FGW for naming Kar's new baby

 

[Busaiku]

Karst, you should name your child Bridget.

 

[darkblade77]

Worst idea ever. Going by suggestions said here you are all horrible and please never name your own children.

At least nobody suggested

Spoiler

ayyyy lmao

.

Stealth edit because I realized I hadn't said it yet, but congratulations Karst.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Yeah, we're 6 weeks in and nothing? This is awkward.

Welcome to vertical slices - where all that actually exists of the game is what we've seen so far.

 

[QisTopTier]

Leo's pretty free to Ky.

Leo vs Ky is how you would think the pot match would be but isn't

Spoiler

Since Pot is the best designed grappler ever

 

[kirblar]

Why are people talking as if I was talking about SFV? I was referring to Capcom Cup having zero announcements for 2015, making it harder for people to plan for non-EVO events.

 

[BakedYams]

Congrats on the new baby Karsticles! Don't let these loonies name your baby, they'd only come up with horrible names.

Kitana and Reptile MK X stream this Thursday, guess we can get a better look behind the mask ;P

 

[Tripon]

Have a feeling this image is going to get some play.

 

[Sayad]

You guys are making it sound like those "if it's a girl name her Morrigan" posts were serious!

 

[Frantic]

Karst's kid will probably end up with a name that looks as though it's derived from a genital, so the FGW should be given the right to name it for the good of the kid's future.

Spoiler

loljk

 

[Kadey]

Congrats Karst. Name your kid Yams if you think he'll cry a lot.

Senpai is mean to everyone, Yams, don't take it personally.

But Kadey is nice to me

You mean to tell me that that special treatment isn't just towards just me?

you're all jealous

Lmao. The first thing I thought of when I saw that was "he'd love my GAF username."

 

[BakedYams]

you mean if i dont? plus, don't you get bullied by kadey too? we have to put an end to this! where's count when you need him to talk smack?!

 

[Kadey]

Yams are supposed to be sweet not salty.

 

[Mr. X]

Congrats on the baby!

Name the kid something strong like Victor, Krauser or Cammy.

Well Larry did announce Final Round as a CPT 2015 event. No details of any kind yet, he's still holding back on that info. But I imagine it will be the first CPT Premiere Event of the year and probably the first overall as well.

http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/comment/10106047/#Comment_10106047

I don't think Capcom will really get the ball rolling on information about CPT 2015 until the beginning of next month.

It looks like someone uploaded the Daigo vs Momochi long set from Topanga League onto youtube.

I noticed some guy was uploading all the recent Topanga A League matches. So I kept checking and he finally uploaded Daigo vs Momochi(the FT7 set) last night. That was my first time watching it, that was a fantastic set. I hope to see another one(and by that I mean a long set) between these two at some point this year.

 

[onionfrog]

I probably won't get to go to Evo because it turns out my wife is 10 weeks pregnant.

Congratulations Karst!

The only Mega Man I ever wanna see in a fighting game is the Mega Man from the animated series, one-liners and all.

He would be a command throw character.

I would be OK with this. The Ruby Spears cartoon is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Spoiler

I used to get up at 7am on Sundays as a kid to watch it. >_>

It would be a way better troll idea than fat Mega Man from SFxT.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Congratulations Karst!

Its long since been a guilty favorite of mine. I bought both seasons and I can't tell you how many evenings I've just had friends over trolling and commenting on the show laughing our asses off at it. My God Electric Nightmare and Curse of the Lion Men are comedy gold.

Fun Fact. My wife made the Derp Megman image. It dates to a thread I put up here on Gaf. Derping the eyes was a fun time for us

I don't think next gen could render all of Ruby Spears Megaman's abs though.

Oh almost forgot to post the vids

Do you remember seeing any videos of Sengoku Basara X? A lot of the videos I've seen with good players are just too blurry...

Only cause she knows you won't stand up for yourself

No one should be named pun pun :<

 

[Busaiku]

Astarte, is your avatar Little Red Riding Hood.
That one.

 

[Azure J]

bruh

Q probably sticks up for himself more so than anybody here.

Watching Aris speedrun RE and he's already near 30 mins at the beginning, too busy talking and forgetting his stuff.

 

[Professor Beef]

It would be a way better troll idea than fat Mega Man from SFxT.

Hey now, Bad Box Art Mega Man was hilarious. The tears from Mega Man fans with persecution complexes were just a bonus.

 

[QisTopTier]

Well standing up is pretty hard for me

 

[Tik-Tok]

Well standing up is pretty hard for me

Can we do a Brolly Legs vs Q Kart Race at EVO ?
Is that not PC? I mean shit... I'll get both of you ( and me) drunk first. I think everyone will have a good time.

Game froze on him nearly 40 minutes in. LOL.

Judging by my wasted driving last year, not on purpose xD

99% of the cast just call her Red Hood so it's understandable =v=
You're also the first person in a long time to recognize her, you person you :V

Good article on how much of Melee seems intentional https://smashfts.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/melee-is-an-accident-i-disagree/

I never understood why people thought so much of SSBM was a happy accident. It seemed like they were well aware of the main issues SSB64 had and they were all addressed in Meele. I think what would be more interesting would be to really figure out to what extent the game was planned, in terms of the skill ceilings being what they are and some of the craziness that can happen in that game. The article touches on things that were deliberate by HAL but it doesn't really go to that next level, which I would say is a bit disappointing if it wouldn't end up being complete speculation.

The more important thing I think is that games need to have solid fundamental systems, and I think SSBM and MvC2 speak to that better than anything. If the game's core rules are solid, it can withstand a ton of bullshit. Both of those games have some really dumb stuff in it but the game lets you work around it.

 

[vocab]

Wat?

He's a mid-tier character that has some real strugglematches.

He's a midtier character that plays nothing like a guilty gear character, and is a complete low effort high reward character.

Aside from a few mechanical issues I have with the game, him and elphelt are the reason I don't play anymore.

You can't even realistically defend against leo without either doing research outside the game, or buying the charatcer to learn his moveset. Awful design, and fuck anyone who plays him.
