Fighting Games Weekly | Jan 13-19 | Handsome fighters never lose majors

Kars people are just having fun with the sentiment it's obvious to everyone the semantics aren't sound. No one cares it was just a fun jab. Relax.
I dont find it easy to not be irritated by a comment that does not make sense followed by rounds of applause. I suppose that is why I have been posting here less frequently. I rarely see anyone talking about anything besides drama. There used to be news mixed in to keep things interesting, at least. Around the time when OBS became popular here, it felt like the posting quality took a turn for the worse. Just my two cents. Maybe I am just irritated because I used to love checking this thread all the time, and now I don't. /shrug

relax? hell fucking naw. i want to feel the repressed anger. that shit fuels me.

I am actually very good at expressing my anger. :) I enjoy it.

These topics are about the general FGC. That includes drama and stupid/funny shit. If you don't enjoy stuff like that then maybe you should stop visiting these threads.

See, and this is a perfect example. You did not even take the time to comprehend my post before you responded. I said that I rarely see anything but drama talk, not that drama talk is always undesirable. This only takes basic reading comprehension to recognize.

Marvel 2 is still a good game. Brawl never was.

The last topic had barely any drama talk excluding the flux shit. Your just trying to justify being salty over a sarcastic comment.
 
It feels like it would still be pretty easy to do both.

agreed, and maybe not ridicule per se but jest.

I don't know...I just feel like people who worked on the notes patch really put effort into it. I don't see it as fan fic because even with an almost nil chance people put in the effort in the hopes of getting what they wanted, and in the meantime had fun discussing the mechanics of the game in depth.

Dark Souls 2 will be my biggest disappointment of the gen if it's not good.

It'll probably be good though. I'm pretty much gonna quit fighting games and all other games really for a good 6 months when that shit drops.

Are you trying to show evidence of how I tried to help a poster understand how his comparison between games was not relevant, and then the thread was derailed into gif spam and pseudodrama? If not, I don't get it, since that is what happened.

You know, while I appreciate the sentiment, and I am not fond of fan fiction, it does take work. The people (mostly kids, I think) who write it have ideas they want to express, and they give them coherency. A few of my students like to write fan fiction about their favorite anime characters, and they put a lot of effort into it. Then they want to read it to me...

I'm not salty at the jab at our imaginary marvel patch, but I'm pretty sure the jab was plagiarized from something ProfessorBeef said like a month ago.

At least things should pick up once Evo lineup gets revealed and USF4 hits Japanese arcades.

With or without the drama, there's still not that much news as of late, imo.

So basically you are salty nobody reacted to you bashing brawl?

I want to get hyped on a new Capcom fighting game like I was for SFIV and MvC3. I really think it would be wise for Capcom to show us a new hype game at least within the the first half of this year. I know it may not be likely, but I'm hoping. I remember when MvC3 leaked a week early and my buddy had a modded 360, we just played the shit out of it into the early morning. Or going to a mall farther away from the closer mall because the farther mall has copies of SFIV and people were lined up hyping on it outside of Gamestop. We need that hype back.

Serious response but I really do not regret working on it at all. It was fun to work on as it lead to some epic debates. More importantly though lots of knowledge was shared and most of us came out of the thing learning a lot. Like starting out we didn't know Wolverine's cr.L was a fairly slow 6 frame (most people just looked at his st.L which was the expected 4 frame) and could be chicken blocked against after a ground throw tech.

Also at the very least if some higher ups like Combofiend read it then hopefully some of the suggestions influence decisions for future Capcom fighting games. Like we shit on TACs so much in it you would think Capcom might realize that they weren't such a great decision and don't use it for future fighting games.

Even more important, we got it out of our system. I don't think there has been patch talk in over a month... must've been a record.

What was the general reaction to it?
From who?

I didn't really follow up with the feedback much after Capcom Cup but we got a lot of different opinions on it. Some people felt we didn't change enough while others thought we changed too much. Some people liked it, others didn't. I know people like Viscant, Angelic and Combofiend read... definitely got feedback from Viscant (he thought we over buffed Phoenix).

I didn't get much of a common complaint from the various opinions I read which means that we did alright. Everyone had their own nitpicks and opinions which is fine. We actually still have corrections to make on it (like DJHoushen's recommendations) but that's still a way off.


Edit: Also I don't know why shots were fired against Riposte, he had minimal contributions to it.

Funkmaster Flex >>>> DJ Clue

NLBC should be renamed Funkmaster Flex Night.

Enzo, my man, we need to hang out.
We can only be buddies if your digital game is serious enough to embed the soundboard onto the homepage of OFL.

That's pretty awesome you were a DJ though. What was your DJ name? Please don't tell me it was like DJ Dee Jay or some shit.

this got me good tho
I still can't believe I stayed up and waited through the multiple hour delay only to hear Flex stretch a sub-3 minute song across 22 minutes. It was a moment in history though. The CDQ actually leaked in the time Flex was still rewinding.. but I was compelled to keep listening.

FGW | Curse of the Skullgirls
Wow, I think we found a new FGW thread title. Fitting that Skullgirls can't even get a thread title.
Seriously, the general Skullgirls misfortune thread title is long overdue, and lol.

Was this EMP promo video posted in here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-LUvH7Fag8
This is such a strange video. Maybe it's just the laid back music with all these sound effects out of the original Star Trek that's throwing me off. Something about the new logo bothers me, I think it's the chess pieces. Anyways, seems like they're trying to make a power move in 2014, I guess eSports is finally upon us?! I wonder what their sponsors might be.

This is amusing.

real as fuck

sakurai is a fucking modern japanese man. mamas boy to a fault/ cant cook or do shit for himself/ doesnt fuck his wiife/ spends thousands of dollars on anime figures and wants to ignore real world concepts to create shit where "everyone wins"
only a "man" who lives in that fictional world would intentionally spit in the faces of all the people who supported his game and played its shit long after its due.
Not that I'm praying for it or anything, but damn you probably have the high score in terms of posters here riding the fine line between being able to still post here and being banned. It's a feat.

it's kinda funny how much contempt sakurai has for the pro smash community. nintendo really needs the next smash to become big competitively so they can sell consoles and games but i bet sakurai will have none of it and will do things to stop it from happening. you either play it casually or not at all!
Nintendo doesn't and has never needed support of the competitive communities to push anything. Won't change jack shit in terms of sales. Die hards will buy it anyways for the primary appeal which is nostalgia and fan service. Not sure why even to this day people think that it matters or would turn Nintendo's lemons to lemonade.

another contender for biggest disappointment of the gen...

RIP Halo

2001-2010
As a huge Halo fan, I can definitely see it being up there considering how far it regresses in many places, which just stings harder because of the strides in the story and the new direction which is pretty much a perfectly executed start of a new trilogy off of motherfucking Halo 3.

It's not my disappointment of the generation though. Hard to gauge because I'm pretty good at gauging quality before I get something. Maybe ODST or Mass Effect 3. Probably Mass Effect 3. ODST delivered on probably a 1/4 of the things they promised and was a shell of a game; a DLC expansion marked up to a full game, padded with filler in a shitty open world. Mass Effect 3 though was this haymaker from out of nowhere that just suddenly hit everyone, and I was legitimately excited for where they were going to take the universe. Then when I got into the awesome multiplayer I got hit with a glitch tht wouldn't load my game and Bioware didn't want to patch for over half a year. Yeah, now that's disappointment.

Honestly, I was pretty excited about Sim City before I discovered how small the cities were and how they forced you to pretty much compartmentalize things and remove that freedom of choice. I didn't buy it, but it's up there.

Shit is the worse. Crossover game discussion is toxic with fanboyism until a month or two after its release. How the fuck is that Smash thread in its four or five iteration? I can only imagine its mostly people masturbating to pictures of Rosalina.
It's mostly speculation, at least from my lurking. I wouldn't even call it speculation, more like rote requests and trolling (of which I enjoy the latter; even though it's pretty much the same shit over and over).

Alternatively, this post gets 5 Stevie J faces out of 5.

Oh wow I forgot about the 5th character. Looks like they won't be getting much playtest feedback for her. Awesome.
Gotta do what you gotta do to keep interest above water and stretch it out over that long ass period of time.

I'm convinced that flux sucks when it comes to extended sets. My money is on cloud
Is this blow up just over the 100-75 thing? I never thought that was a terrible ratio or anything, especially over such a ridiculously long period of time where stuff like fatigue and increasing specificity of the player match up begins to compromise comparisons of skill.

wasn't the gap even bigger earlier in the set? i think the beatdown was much worse than the final score shows. doubt insaynne kept his focus with such a large lead.

The fact that Flux lost to Marn like that who's been out of practice for a minute while he grinds the game regularly means I can't trust him in extended sets.

I'm really hoping for some rich sponsors to come in the lift up the FGC. The more money, the more tournaments, the more areas these tournaments will happen. We seriously need another NYC Tournament that isn't only DTN, killers were everywhere.

Curious, what is the value proposition for those rich sponsors? I mean, it would be great, and philanthropy would be even greater, but if philanthropy isn't the reason, then there has to be a value proposition from the FGC in order to attract that money.

Oh man, the TvC hacked soundtrack was glorious with Jet Set Radiioooooooooo on it... I need TvC at EVO!!!

As someone who was at Evo when TvC was being played, it's a lot of fun to watch, especially if someone uses one of the two giants on the big screen (there was one giant in the top 8 IIRC).

Of course Marn was wrecking ish with Zero.

when's 5th character?

The next big event is the Taipei game show, and Ono is set to have a stage presentation. IMO the event doesn't suit the announcement, but if there's a June release date, then this is the only event that I can see it being announced at.

If the release date slips for some reason, then we're going to have to be ready for Evo to play AE. I'd guess that the announcement for the fifth character would be moved there.

This is pure speculation of course.

We can only be buddies if your digital game is serious enough to embed the soundboard onto the homepage of OFL.

I have to take the Capcom Cup banner down. I might sneak it in there, but it can't be front and center (for obvious reasons).

Will keep you updated.
 
So basically you are salty nobody reacted to you bashing brawl?
What? I don't think you read the context of that conversation.

And who would react to Brawl bashing? Smash fans were nigh universally disappointed by the game. I bought a Wii just for it. Terrible decision. I wasn't looking for a fight there, I was explaining why people won't pine for Brawl: hardcore fans did not like it.

if u see the police... warn a brotha~

for those who play kof xiii in usa, how is the netplay community? in japan its very active on steam i rarely have problems getting (good) matches during peak hours
 
Fan fiction on mechanics/balancing is better than roster fan fiction if you ask me.
Well, I am guilty of both! See: my fantasy BoF2 Nina moveset for Marvel, and my inability to go a month without saying I want Palutena in Smash.

I think it is more about why people do it than what they do. I think what we did with Marvel was healthy, but some players basically engage with mechanics fan fiction via complaining about how much better the game would be without X-Factor. You could even see scrubby house rules play like "no throwing" as a kind of fanfic, and that is probably the worst kind. Just my two cents.


Wow I wake up and see so much drama generated over a comment that was written to be more opportunistic than accurate v_v
Good morning.

Ono probably there to pimp Deep Down. Gotta get that F2P monies.
Real talk: the best PS4 game is F2P IMO. I really enjoy Warframe. Except for the unstable frame rate when 50+ enemies are on the screen. I have enjoyed it without spending a dime for at least 30 hours now. It has a solid community, too.
