oooh, that price. I like. =D
Played a few matches of Nidhogg online: against one very good player, but with a lot of lag, and one against a beginner like me, without lag.
When it's working it's really good, but I can see how the dev could have been inspired by ggpo: when it's not working it becomes a rollback fest.
Good thing is, when you get an opponent you can "retry" matches very quickly. This is quite a frantic and nervous game -- I like it!

Wow ahahah
Defend the North was so hype, glad I went. You should have CJ going nuts on Flux, that was a sight to behold my friend, CJ cheered on everyone of Flux's opponent like an obsessed fanboy. It was hilarious.

Yo that Nidhogg game is amazing. I just inadvertently had some fantastic matches with a fellow Gaffer. It was so good.
I saw the drama on stream but I don't know the story behind it. Apparently CJ asked for a pause and Flux agreed to it but took the win anyway? Would like it clarified from someone who was there.
Not that it matters because it was CJ's fault anyway.

Awesome!
***FROM THE PERSPECTIVE IN THE AUDIENCE***
I can speak for myself from what I saw from the audience, Flux had 2-0 on CJ and got caught in a combo from CJ's Doom. CJ goes for a regular light medium heavy to launcher and realizes the medium didn't come out and yells at Flux "My button is jammed! I'm gonna pause the game!" Flux doesn't respond (probably a very clever move to get a win, not condoning it) and CJ pauses the game. Flux takes that pause as a loss due to "rules" and stands up to walk away, knowing the drama that is going to ensue, doesn't even look CJ in the face. CJ is yelling out Flux's name, asking him why he did that and Flux just spurts out that rules are rules (basic summary) and takes his win. CJ is salty as hell, like literally, YoutubeFGC Meme Gold, a fight was about to break if CJ didn't see Big E walk into the audience and hover over this argument. It ended with CJ still being salty, kinda saw Flux as a wimp running away from the situation and not trying to compromise with CJ but rules are rules sadly. One thing that annoyed me wasn't the match, CJ was in the right to talk it out with Flux (didn't have to get angry), it was the people acting like a mob screaming out Marvel and recording this crap and not trying to stop it. I didn't know either of them personally so I couldn't do anything to butt in but gladly Big E came in. After that, CJ smacked talked Flux the entire night and people wanted a money match. Nothing happened at the end but a rivalry was born from that, that much I can guarantee.

Pretty sure it's NorCal since CJ Showstopper is helping him out.
Well, if CJ is helping at least we know this year's EVO excuse.

Well fuck yeah! Time to start additional planning!
Good song, literally man, I love the FGC for its hype but it is sad sometimes... and then I remembered that I live in the hood when I was there, heck I would have joined them in making hype if it didn't look like a fight was about to break out and be uploaded to WorldStarHipHop.
I can understand how one can get heated when playing fighting games, but really after cooling down a little CJ should realize how what happened is just bad luck on his side, and has nothing to do with Flux.
Bad luck happen every time in sports, and nobody gets a second chance or a "pause" just out of "good sportsmanship" -- rules are here to define what is fair and what is not.

Just listened to the whole cj/flux situation lol what a waste of time.
Relatively slow tournament (at least from what I've seen?) will do that I suppose.
Netcode is very solid if you have a decent connection but degenerates quickly when you don't. Randoms online has been hit or miss. Playing my friends from in-town and East Coast is pretty much perfect, though. Matchmaking filtering options are very lacking, sadly, so you don't know how the dickhunt is gonna go down until you're already in there.
Game is amazing, btw. Really just having a blast, been laughing all afternoon. It definitely has a lot of depth and options--certainly a huge step up from Towerfall or Samurai Gunn, imo, which didn't captivate me as much as this.
I think if you watched the Northwest Majors set and thought the game was hype and felt like you wanted to play it--the game absolutely delivers. The controls are tight as fuck, you can pull off lots of cool shit, and all of it is hilarious. I love the style, too, personally--amazing animations and music, and seeing the battlefield just covered in yellow and orange blood during a tense, long set is sweet.

That already is the rule. Sometimes both players will say "fuck it" and let it rock if the paue didn't really ruin anything, though.
Yeah I didn't know either. Rhapsody's spotlight is probably my favourite thus far.
It's great that your doing this sort of thing to help out, MarkMan.
On an unrelated note, would you be willing to do the FGW Spotlight for next week?
Thanks a lot for the heads up. When I went to save the file I edit them in, it said there would be some loss of characters and I had no idea what I added/edited had nonsense characters or how they even got there. Couldn't spot anything scanning through. Will update OP shortly.
I don't think that would solve anything unless the machines are modular, and you still wouldn't have a reason to use consoles which will be guaranteed to be standardized for 5+ without needing to upgrade at all.
More games/non-shitty ports period for Steam is always a plus though, and publishers are slowly realizing how strong the platform and it's growth is (which is sort of dumb considering the 90s, but whatever)
My favourite Valle moment is when he went on OBS and told everyone to calm that shit down.
Why didn't anyone tell me Loaded Flux da gawd was on GAF? Welcome!
Also I'm not sure why everyone took that one perspective that wasn't corroborated from a secondary source and blew it up like the truth.
Thanks a lot for the link. OP will be updated shortly.
Shin Jebailey incoming.
Look forward to what Iron Galaxy does next. Between Divekick and the titles they have worked on with Capcom (though I haven't personally purchased any of them), they've definitely earned my respect as developers and I look forward to whatever they do next, fighting game or not.

Pretty sure that's not Flux, he's just transcribing the tweets.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Watching this really makes me wonder how much JRosa knows Strider. Why didn't he just Gram H through the flame super instead of that?
That would make a lot of sense if I had clicked the links
that post title lmfao
The "pause = dq" rule is always in place, but Evo is the only tournament (I think) that mandates it regardless of what the non-offending player says. Most tournaments (UFGT included) tend to put the burden of enforcing the rule onto the other player, which I can see as being unfair. Either the player lets it ride, which could hurt their situation, or they take the DQ but feel like the bad guy for doing it. Basically nobody (no TO or bracket runner or player) wants to be the bad guy so pauses often go unpunished. And if a player ever does take a round or game by pause, they're made out to be worse than Stalin (or Keits), as happened to Flux yesterday. I think more tournaments need to take the hard line on pauses that Evo does so that this dumb stuff won't happen in the future.
What was Darry saying?

well at least Smash tournaments use pause=lose your stock, although this isn't always enforced very well
speaking of Smash, Apex hype!

I accidentally paused at Evo during P4A pools in the middle of my opponent's super.
He said it was cool and then I managed to win the set 2-1.
I bet he really wished he took the game after.

Yeah, the bracket runners are supposed to enforce the rule if they see a pause, but if they don't catch it, there's nothing you can do.

Darry is a SF4 Balrog player last time I remember. He is also my least favorite commentators (he makes the worst reads, jumps to a ton of baseless conclusions and poor off-topic discussions and not funny) but seems like a nice guy.
Too much, this looks shopped but knowing Justin, this sounds like a probably case.
Yup, just answer those 9 questions and PM them to me before Sunday night. Thanks!
