What it comes down to is: Which is more important? The "newness" of a game, or the amount of players willing to compete in a game? Do they both have equal weight? If not, at what quantity does the number of potential applicants for Melee trump Smash4's newness?

I don't think so.

Ah

moneyhatting budget went to Tomb Raider, Quantum Break and Platinum Games

lol

Rog's retired bruh

He said he'll retire this year, so he's still going to EVO and trying to qualify for Capcom Cup.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Ono will show up only wearing a loincloth, then people will realise he's announcing Urien but won't be able to get hype because deep down they are just embarrassed there's a overweight Japanese man half-naked on the stage

HYPE!
The best is when he throws his arms up and a wall of glass slides across then shatters on the stage.

Too anime

Then again sf5 is almost as anime as alpha already

I'll post it over here too cause I find it interesting. We did an hour and a half long thing about defensive OSes in P4U2 and how they shape the current pressure game. Neat stuff. http://www.twitch.tv/anneifrank/c/5868495

Didn't LK already do this a few months ago? I haven't seen your yet(I hate twitch archives).

I remember when I first started watching streams in 2011, I used to think all anime games were shit, anyone who played them was weird and any streamer who dedicated time to anime over Mahvel/Street Fighter was stupid.

I assume this is how the majority of stream monsters feel.

 

[Azure J]

Charlie got glowing green eyes and a similar mark on his forehead.

Anime as PHUCK.

 

[sixteen-bit]

What if Charlie has a stand?

GB's main confirmed?

 

[QisTopTier]

Characters do power up states like it's some shonen. SF5 is anime as fuck

 

[sephi22]

I feel like I'm the only one who's Xrd sticks are yet to be shipped. No reply to my tweets by markman or madcatz and now their twitter mentions are filled with folks unboxing their brand new sticks. Support ticket was answered with 'sticks are back ordered' which is weird because markman said they had about 90 in stock and my order was placed before they sold out

First and last time dealing with the Madcatz store. I'll go through Amazon again since all my triton headsets were delivered on time and I went through Amazon

LK went over what it was. We went over what happened to the meta-game around pressure as a result. People watched LK's video and as good as he did explaining what it is, people didn't seem to understand application and the results of what would come later.

 

[darkblade77]

If you enjoy modern fighting games outside of KI/MK/IJ, odds are you already enjoy anime. Just accept it. Kappa

From this quote in the arcade stick thread it sounds like your order got eaten somehow. :/

Clearly there is confusion / misinformation. There is no preorder for GGXrd sticks. The 100 units we put up last week were ordered/shipped. If you never got an email confirmation for an order or have an order number, then the order didn't go through. Simple as that.

You might have had a hold/authorization on your card when it tried to go through, but whether or not that has been fulfilled is another story. I just got off the phone with the head of customer service at our warehouse and if there are any questions, feel free to contact them again.

I understand the frustration here but I'm going to make it very clear.

There are no pre-orders pending at this time other than those for P4U2 TE2s.

Everything else has already shipped.

one of the 3 prophecies has been completed, only one more towards the fabled community armageddon

whats the last one?

It's more interesting than Melee.

 

[Seyavesh]

if they announce urien they better announce him to this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyTnpw0DK8M

or even better just have it be his theme

 

[mbpm1]

What is this video from lol

 

[QisTopTier]

Online sucks ass in Xrd almost everyone is shit at the game :l

 

[direct_quote]

After a long set with Vulva I'm picking Gief back up, my Ryu is alright. Its just my Gief is a bit more terrifying to face so I'll go with that, even though I'll probably go 0-2.

I have over a 70% winrate in my first GG I've taken seriously using what is apparently a difficult character. It's completely bizzare; I never get to throw a lot of people because they just never ever block. I find it difficult to believe there are so many people in online GG who have never played a fighting game before.

so his job is just to say things on camera?

Why would a new fighting game not grab completely new people? Also all fighting games are terrible at teaching their players.

Yeah it's honestly really strange how few people block on wakeup in this game. It's hard to get used to normal play if every single one of my pressure strings lands...

 

[QisTopTier]

Yup the sad truth

Yooooooo

This is super false for Xrd

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

New MKX character tomorrow.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Are you saying only GG people would play Xrd? And what I mean as terrible at teaching people is people with no fighting game context, no vocabulary you'd need outside help unless you are a natural.

 

[Slamtastic]

New or New?

Sounds like an anime convention tournament.

I can't imagine Injustice being at Evo 2015 after the clusterfuck that was Injustice at Evo 2014. Not anybody's fault, really, just the nature of hot fixes and the XBox 360. Makes the game a huge pain to run at large offline tournaments.

Also, Charlie has a mark on his forehead?

Oh my god he's Harry Potter.

Guilty Gear Xrd teaches you a lot. It even has a tutorial on option selects.

I seriously hadn't messed with Injustice lately so when I was told "hook up the xboxes and make sure you set them to a hotspot" I was like "oh boy this can't possibly go wrong".

Oh yeah... the tutorials in KI even teach you about whiff punishing quick normals. I think it even teaches you what the hitboxes mean?

I am mainly talking about true non fighting game people. But maybe those things work but they need to be put in a way just outside of training mode to get the most engagement.

Um, have you played KI's tutorial?

There is pretty much no way KI could simplify its tutorial more while encompassing more areas of Fighting Games. I believe if anyone went through KI's tutorial they would be well equipped to go into any non-anime fighting game.
