Just got home. For the record, I never told CJ it was ok to pause the match. He said his button was stuck, and I said "I'm sorry".

I was playing neutral up until the moment that the game was paused, which I certainly wouldnt do if I was allowing him to pause

He misunderstood or misheard something I said, which is why he's so pissed. I just wish the situation hadn't happened at all.

Makes it easy for someone to step in and set up a grudge match.

it's the rush to create "hype" and "drama" out of anything that happens.
That's with everything ever though. The thing about this is that it's arguably the most interesting thing to happen to the marvel tournament aside from punisher making top 8
CJ should have known the rules anyways, it doesn't matter.
If you have to stop a round because of equipment failure, you forfeit the round.
Evo rule:

Regarding Apex 2014, is there any hype around the non-Smash tournaments? Last I looked, the pre-reg was really small for those games (i.e. AE, Marvel, less than 50 people each):

Perhaps there will be a DTN-style rush at the door, but that's never guaranteed.

This week's subtitle is so perfect. Dat Vega.
Apparently that's what happened at last Apex, too (a bunch of people for the other fighting games signed up at the door).
Also, OP should include www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp for the SSBM Salty Suite for Apex 2014. Starts Thursday at 10 PM-11 PM EST, I think, and then it'll be on at that time every night until the end of Apex.
sp00ky is streaming the Top 8s of the main games on Sunday (AE, UMVC3, SSBM, SSBB, and I think PM but not 100% sure)
What else is going on in UMVC3 to by hype about? Chris G winning another major? Zoop Zoop shit?
I don't care about the silly stuff, but I do care about rivalries. As long as this salt produces a great match for a good amount of money, I'm happy.
And at least for AE and Marvel, I'm sure a ton of people will show up at the door for it at Apex as usual. I'm not worried.
There's got to be some way to get people to begin thinking of preregistering as the norm instead of signing up at the door.

TO's need to make it the standard.
I love the way Apex handles smash registration. If you don't pre-reg then you have to hope you get one of the remaining empty slots in the bracket ... otherwise you're SOL.
If players want a better tournament experience, they need to accept that some of the burden falls on them ... if you can even call pre-registration a "burden." TO's simply should not have to be worried about hundreds of people signing up on the day of the tournament.

Guarantee players that they'll get a chance at Top 8 of they pre register.
Aka you get to play in the tournament
Yeah it can be rough once gouken gets you in the corner. Just remember not to press too many buttons after his fireball since he's +6 after it. I got a lot of counter hit roundhouse after a fireball during our set.

Pretty stupid that Flux is getting so much crap for following the rules.

Had a fun match with Clim (The gief player from Canada) this weekend at the local Seattle monthly. It went,
Blanka vs T.Hawk -> Blanka vs Hakan -> Zangief vs Hakan. I lost, of course, but felt pretty amusing to Ultra 2 a Blanka ball on block with Hakan, lol. I really wanted Gief vs T.hawk to start but he Clim doesn't lack that match apparently.

I find it crazy how quick people are to just buy one side of the story if it's juicy. like why would anyone have any reason to believe flux agreed to a pause and then fucked over CJ? that's kinda nuts
Nidhogg is out and it's 20% off this week. http://store.steampowered.com/app/94400/?snr=1_7_15__13
Two weeks to Full Boost!
Two weeks to Full Boost!
Awesome, going to pick this up today.
already in there
controls are great, super responsive. loving the music and style so far, it's really intense actually.
the button config screen is nice: your character is right there under the inputs ready to test out live.

"what a bad decision"
Oh goodness I haven't seen this, this looks hilarious . ( this is a complement )
Looks like Jebailey's been hired as the Community Manager for Iron Galaxy.
I can only assume that means we're going to see some significant new fighting games coming out of IG.

People are going to give you crap if you follow the rules and take the round/game, or let it rock and end up losing somehow. Best to follow the rules in all cases.

Pause = DQ rule is the fucking best rule
it's basically the most disruptive thing that could happen in a game that doesn't involve any external physical involvement by anyone
there are times when you could let it rock, of course, but in that situation Flux would have been stupid to not take it. it's a high stakes match deep in the bracket in a clutch situation in fuckin Marvel of all games (vs. a Doom at that). in any case CJ was pretty much fucked since he had no way out from the rocket-chip as far as I can tell

This is pretty much how Homestay lost the most recent 5on5.
Also, I wish Japan would do double-elim singles tourneys for VF5FS every so often. Watching the casuals after the tournament reminded me how much cooler the game is in longer sets.

Flux had the game won when CJ paused anyway.

hahaha, I just found out about Nidhogg's achievement list.
http://steamcommunity.com/stats/94400/achievements
That last one, GTD! (if it changes later)

Ehh I still don't buy it. Remember the Dreamcast? That was the premier place to play fighters at the time. None of those games were legitimately ported to PCs as far as I know. Plus the only place you can play Project Justice is on the Dreamcast.
Haha, I like Slow Played.
Also the fact that you can leave your opponent's body on your sword and move your sword around inside.
There are some reports up in the thread, including from Clawww. I'm curious to see how it turns out, apparently he was inspired by GGPO:
(That interview is worth a read, btw, especially the part about designing the game for event play.)

Huh. Play-Asia has a sponsorship site up for APEX 2014 with links to the streams.

That game was pretty broken from what I remember (played it in military).
Most of the Dreamcast fighters were arcade first.
Haha yeah it's super broken, but fun as hell. Right, arcade first but usually console next. I still see that trend happening, some games will break the mold and be on Steam but I think any major fighter we'll see on console after arcade.
I need this to be real.
