He "has won" but is he really winning anything these days? I'll wait til evo comes around to actually consider him out of the top
Streaming for a bit with @EMP_DragonGod were playing Injustice and gonna talk about CEO lol http://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby/new #injustice
How does Fchamp place so low? Why didn't Justin win? lol I missed CEO this year. I hope I don't miss out on EVO.
I can't help but to see a bare breast instead of a shoulder on your avatar pic, when I scroll through the thread... EVERY TIME. >_>
He gets plenty of guests at his house including many top players. He has had PRRog, Apologyman, Neo, Clockwork, Fanatiq, KBR, Yipes, Zak Bennet, the Japanese players, Combofiend, Killer Kai at his house all of whom he has beaten in long sets. I mean yea yea I know... household advantage but he plays many MMs in tourneys as well and does well in those too.You mean CJ Showstoppa, Drew Gimey and the random no name guys that show up to his house?
The problem with FChamp is that he fights nothing but the same people 24/7. That along with the fact that he fights nothing but Vergil's, Doom's and Strider's is hurting him more than it's helping him.
NorCal is also very overrated.
Anyone else getting tired of Vergil and/or Doom teams?
BlazBlue with "xfactor" is pretty awesomeThat BlazBlue gif is getting me curious enough to try and get into the series again (I wasn't so fond of it at first, but now I have more of an appreciation for Arc with Guilty Gear, I'd be down with giving the series another shot) before Chronophantasma comes out.
Urge to get back in... rising...
I would agree, just on the principal he does all the shit he does with none of his really absurd assists(Vajra, Unibeam, Disruptor, Drones, etc). Still, there are a lot of things he can improve on, imo, but he's still probably the best atm(since Yipes doesn't play anymore).GreenAce has the best Dante.
He just won Northwest Majors.
I just think considering FChamp outside the top 5 players in this game is preposterous. There are either 5 gods who tower above everyone else or there is the one true god.
Then that's a dumb argument to make. You listed some players who have happened to have done well recently whereas FChamp has done well over years. Its not even close, like no way in hell Richard Fucking Nguyen is better than FChamp, from a tournament, skill or knowledge level.Chris G, PR Rog, J Wong and Flocker are very blatantly the top 4 ATM, although PR Rog can be prone to being inconsistent and having rusty execution. After them I'll argue that Unknown, Green Ace, Dieminion (debatable since he'll probably lose to Champ in a head to head but post more consistent finishes), Richard N and argubly Rayray and Ranmasama are all above Champ. Heck Neo seems to be more settled and consistent than Champ although Champ is probably still more skillful.
not sure I get the heel turns and shattered dreams part of the thread title

The reasons the gods are named as such as they have won multiple majors, appeared in at least one EVO top 8 and have gotten many top 8s at majors. None of those players has the resume of FChamp and skillwise I would not put any of them over him.
I felt that way about it at first too, after taking a break from it for a long time and trying a bunch of other games I came back and warmed up to it a lot more.I'm tempted to get it while I'm in Vegas to warm up for Chrono Phantasma, but I just feel "bleh" about Extend at this point tbh :|

Its still a dumb argument because they have not won anything either.This is what matters, the now not the past players evolve.
Do you bet on a horse that has won 30 races but lost the last 5, or do you bet on the horse that won the last 5?

Depends on how they are performing recently. I'm not betting on a sick horse no matter how good it performed before.Its still a dumb argument because they have not won anything either.
Do you bet on a guy who has won several majors, has gotten top 8 in every EVO including an EVO win plus many top 8 finishes or do you bet on a guy who made top once or twice with no actual wins?
If you want to spin this then spin this correctly.
Seen this before in other games- the fire's gone in tournament play for him (except EVO) because he makes such a comfortable living. He just literally doesn't need to win anymore because of his sponsorships and FGTV setup.He "has won" but is he really winning anything these days? I'll wait til evo comes around to actually consider him out of the top
Why top 8? How about top 3? I mean he is a champion right?I feel like a wager is in order.
I like FChamp to make top 8 EVO. Who wants in on this action?

I like FChamp to make top 8 EVO 2013. Who wants in on this action?
Because you can be a god and still not make top 3 at EVO. There are 5 gods remember? Plus top 8 is still a huge accomplishment for EVO and a nice cut off.Why top 8? How about top 3? I mean he is a champion right?
FChamp gets top 8 I win, he gets eliminated before you win. Amount can be decided upon.Whats the wager?
are we wagering?
we have officially become a sport! i no longer need to troll the NBA threads!
asking if we're wagering just now? Are you new to fighting game threads? :O
This is betterOh great... Hazama gets that life depleting ring from his arcade mode boss fight as an actual move now...
Guess I better shape up before Chrono comes out stateside if that can be done mid match now.
If this ever happens in a match Im pretty sure you are allowed to laugh at the person who got hit by itQ you're killing me. My friend is a scary good Hakumen user, and he plans on importing the game too so knowing him he could end up doing stuff similar to that before I get Chronophantasma.
what else ya got, keep it coming
Because FChamp sandbagging/prepping/saving tech for EVO and Justin not having a proper counter team to ChrisG.
That was a troll though about the FT10. That's FChamp playing mind games so he can get a bigger MM going.
If they could tech it it would show up on the combo counter that it was a dropped combo that didn't get teched.That's some nice looking Ragna stuff. Also is it possible to tech out of that Mu combo at all and they just didn't or is that untechable?
Also, got any Litchi stuff?

Klaige is doing a weekly tutorial series for Guilty Gear/ArcSys fighters called IAD-TV.
It airs Tuesdays at 8 PM CST.

Hmm, is that Great Wheel re-worked to look useful now? This pleases me.
fanatiq turning a new leaf and getting back to his FGC roots without needed drama, Fchamp being friendly and accommodating to him on camera.
Litchi is better in just about every way, she's just more technical to play now.
