Not too shocking seeing how he has almost zero ties to the story.

Obsessed with 4chan
That Guile mod for Cammy is pretty ridic.
MLG events were on the same weekend as NCR, ECT and Summer Jam.
Did you buy the lag tester? Can you show me the photograph? looking to get one myself.
Also are you using the XCapture1 on your stream? Just wondering. I'm thinking of getting one for arcade capture based on your review.

I kinda hope they never put him in with how many people are whining about it.

Fuck.

fuckin' called it, man
Probably because of the story mode. And because Batman's in it.
There wasn't much competition. lol
2012 was the best year for fighting games. I don't think I've ever seen a year where we had that much quality and diversity.
SCV, SFXTK, TTT2, DoA5, VF5FS, Skullgirls, Persona 4 Arena.

It truly is the end of days.
So few of those games survived 2012 sadly it seems

Yeah that seemed a bit ridiculous to me. People were playing Marvel for hours before then and I didn't see anyone complain about any sort of lag, (obviously you don't see everything on stream though) then DOA starts and the monitor is suddenly laggy. You could tell it was bullshit just by watching the stream.
It didn't have much competition but it's still well deserved.
Yeah 2013 kind of sucked. 2012 had great diversity and 2011 had some heavy hitters throughout.
2014 is looking like it's going to suck TBH. Cross-generational lul in development.

I dunno about that.
Even with competition, Injustice still deserves it. Sold more copies than Twilight DVDs and the developers cared enough to work with players on what they want in it to the point where too much is too much.
Its amazing. Makes me wish my PC was good enough to run AE respectably.
Ex hooligan into Cannon Strike looks totally ridiculous.

That's what happens when you release the same year as skullgirls

That stuff is really in Ultra?
Fuck, man. I'm scared now.
Thankfully, Smash Bros. 4 will be the only thing I'll need.
I'm also looking forward to trying out USFIV and Guilty Gear (if it releases).
TKXSF should be finally shown/re-revealed this year too and I'm gonna freak out (in a good way). The first next-gen Namco fighter........ufffffffffffffffff.
USFIV and ?
No Marvel patch was really more of last year's news than this year's news. The disbanding happened last year.
Injustice was the fighting GOTY by a mile. It wasn't even close IMO.
Probably FFXV and KHIII.
The only next gen game I am actively looking forward to is MGSV. My guess is that there are going to be a lot of late previous gen games that will get ported over that I will end up playing on these new consoles (like a GTAV).
I will probably play some GGXrd too although I have 0 GG experience.

Speaking of which, direct empirical testing of input lag is THE BEST thing to happen to monitors and setups. No more "this shit lags. I say so." or suspect/bullshit testing methodology, you can use the device and get a solid number that was directly measured.

Nobody in the FGC has much money. We're all poverty, and tournament winnings are a zero-sum game.
I remember being told that some folks "are set for life with money." Whether that "set for life money" comes back around to the FGC is a different story all together.

You just know 2014 is all about that Pokken.
announcement when
I'm sure it'll trickle down.
Please let it be............
Nice. X needs an official title already.
Evil Within looks amazing as well.
These are probably the games I most want releasing in the near or far-off future.
Dark Souls II
Kingdom Hearts III
Final Fantasy XV
Evil Within
Bayonetta 2
X
Tekken X Street Fighter
Super Smash Bros. 4 (Wii U)
Mario Kart 7
Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei
These are exactly my two next gen games I absolutely want. Bayonetta 2 as well.

Because you my folks Hito, I'll let you have your sliver of hope.
History and the current state of affairs tells a whole different tale on the matter however.
I sold my Vita for a Wii U, it kinda hurt but I know I'm not a handheld person by nature so the Wii U made perfect sense to me once Bayonetta 2 and X were announced. I love the system, just need those must plays for hardcore gamers to come out. Some unique/quirky amazing first party titles that are unexpected would be nice too.
I can't find a big enough tears.gif to express my feelings.
Harada said himself there is no Tekken announcement for E3 or TGS or EVO, we have to wait until December for the 20th anniversary to get the next Tekken announcement.
Oh well, I'm in no rush, not like it has any chance of being better than TTT2
USF could definitely get the highest viewers as long as they start it earlier.

Late response is late.
Aw, didn't know it was in a similar situation as Strider. Would be neat to have that concept on some more powerful hardware as you noted, even if it's not that world.
But this is a fighting game thread, so....#put_Sieg_in_marvel. It'd be interesting to see how they'd balance Force and Assault modes for that sort of game.
has anyone ever experimented with a consecutive re-stream of an event? obviously, EVO loses some viewers internationally due to timezones, but what if they just repeated the main events/top 8s for each game following the conclusion of the tournament? I guess they would end up with less concurrent viewers, but maybe they could get more total views over the weekend? people would arguably be less excited about it not being 'live' but that shouldn't be too bad if they avoid spoilers (turn off chat lol). just throwing out this weakass conjecture

So no basically.
Best case is Killer Instinct goes on last. Then they can get more money out of MS as the "featured game" and everybody can go to bed.
Are they doing anything different? I can imagine a lot of support when it opens, but it is down the track when support dwindles that the issues would start.

IPL did that constantly 7 days a week, and to their own detriment according to some people. A lot of esports events immediately restream stuff at the end of the live day, and things like blizzcon or MLG had instantly available vods last I checked, but I don't know if it would work for something as fast and hype-dependent as fighting games.
Not too sure, the people who are running it are acquaintances of mine, and I'm sure they'll have weekly streams at the very least, but not sure how it'll go later down the line. I'm sure they're aware of the issues so hopefully they'll tackle them as they come. I'm definitely down to support.
They did post a picture of a Killer Instinct set up too, getting hype~
