No one flies all the way from one side of the country to the next, hangs out in the heat / humid for 3+ days and sandbags. Just doesn't happen. Even if he sandbagged the 1st loss - even ultradavid said Ryan came over saying how mad he was. He straight up lost twice.

Then he had to go and play green ace a long set just to prove to himself what a man he is. He's as washed up as Viscant.

and didn't Greenace say that was bullshit about the FT10? Did we ever get confirmation on that

why not if you don't have to pay for anything?

Woke up still hyped from those AE matches. Cannot wait for EVO. Agree with Rice, though, with that huge overseas contingent coming over it's going to make for some pools of death.

I hope the FGC can mature and not taunt about players personal life. I doubt they would want that to happen to them...

Yeah or maybe don't punch your fucking girlfriend in the first place.

Some of it's definitely in poor taste though, but Noel deserves to get shit on here.

 

[biosnake20]

Well we don't know the whole story and are going on some hearsay.

 

[Shito]

To be fair, that fake Noel Brown twitter account was of pretty poor taste.
This made me change my mind a little bit regarding the whole "videogame is a sexist hobby" thing we had going on a few weeks ago...

 

[commanderpepper]

Well we don't know the whole story and are going on some hearsay.

Sounds like a typical day in the FGC :/

 

[Lost Fragment]

Well we don't know the whole story and are going on some hearsay.

Yeah. Fair enough.

I don't have any sympathy for Noel if it's true though.

 

[kick51]

Sounds like a typical day on the internet :/

fixed. I'm refusing to hold that shit as a pure FGC thing.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Given the reception SFxT got at CEO, it's going to be funny at EVO when they have to take marvel semi finals off the main stage for SFxT top 8.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I don't get it who turned heel?

 

[Dahbomb]

I don't get it who turned heel?

It was supposed to be a joke about Fanatiq and his apology although I guess the correct term would be "turned face"?

 

[smurfx]

did age threaten fanatiq? they sponsored an fgc guy not some LoL wannabe. can't see why they would continue sending him to tournaments if he plays like crap because he's playing a game that has nothing to do with the fgc.

 

[Bizazedo]

Given the reception SFxT got at CEO, it's going to be funny at EVO when they have to take marvel semi finals off the main stage for SFxT top 8.

Part of me wonders if Justin and Ricky are just not playing "correctly", but others aren't good enough to stop them....

Or they are and the game really still is a defensive, boring mess.

Separately, I still can't stand all the tagging in and out during combos. Looks so stupid (imo).

It was supposed to be a joke about Fanatiq and his apology although I guess the correct term would be "turned face"?

Correct. Heel turn would be someone like Justin Wong suddenly cussing people out / complaining about monitors instead of being a really nice guy.

 

[jbug617]

Justin and Ricky make the game look boring. SFXT at UFGT was fun to watch with Bob and Cody player.

The IRC guys need to crack these top players and force them to play different. But if Chun's footsies are as good as they look, that might not be possible. Shame.

I went from "OMG REINSTALLING ON VITA AND PC NOW!" to ResidentSleeper over the weekend on that game. I'll give it another shot anyway.

 

[Moaradin]

Did the tournament ever get as hype as Injustice was earlier on in the day? I feel asleep during Marvel and that was pretty boring. Did AE redeem it at all?

 

[CrazyTank940]

I thought Great Wheel was always good.

Looking forward to CP Litchi regardless, though.

I dunno, I couldn't get much mileage out of Great Wheel. Maybe I wasn't going about using it in the right situations.

With the new KI thing happening I'm reminded; what ever happened to Jago (the former EMP player)

Great Wheel was a good oki/reset tool. On a cornered knocked down opponent, it led to unavoidable mixups and pressure. I'm not sure how the changes to Great Wheel in CP alters its utlity.

 

[Kioshen]

He signed back with EMP. That pretty much tells it all.

And Sethlolol at FR. I hope for good matches at Evo. Infiltration and Sethlolo make it look good

XIII is a lite version of UM. UM is waaaay better than XIII.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Hell yeah, plenty of AE matches were fantastic.

Never even occurred to me to use it like that, I just thought there was some awkward way to combo into it that I just didn't know so I didn't use it much

shows what I know about the game huh lol

 

[Moaradin]

Hell yeah, plenty of AE matches were fantastic.

I'll have to watch the VODs for AE then.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hell yeah, plenty of AE matches were fantastic.

It was a marked improvement over last year's finals for sure.

 

[Tizoc]

First time I've actually sat down and watched this game. How similar is it to XIII?

IIRC...
For starters there is no damage scaling far as I can tell.
Game uses similar meter consumption as in KoF XIII.
Custom Combo mode is known as MAX mode.
Comboing into MAX mode costs 2 stocks.
During MAX mode, all attacks do less damage due to it's canceling features.
Supers DO NOT get scaled, but performing them will end MAX mode.
Not all special moves are cancelable, as only a set number of specials and command attacks can be canceled into one another.
'NEOMAX' attacks can only be performed only when your health is flashing

They're not playing correctly AND they're using their fundamentals to beat folks. Chun's strong in this but not unbeatable. The big problem is general experience and the fact both Justin and Ricky are basically waiting for folks to hang themselves by counterpoking with Chun's ridiculous long buttons. There are a bunch of times where chun makes contact even though the limb looks like it's not there, I think. It's pretty stupid and then Lightning Legs are ridiculously plus in this allowing Chun to link for a combo. Despite being beatable, I'd still tone down a few of her things if they ever patched the game again.

For reference, Saionide almost beat Justin at Texas Showdown but inexperience and nervousness made him drop some game-winning stuff. Same thing happened this time. Ryan Hunter lost his momentum after dropping the Pandora combo.

Yeah. It's really a matter of experience in the end. Something that's hard to beat folks like Justin, Ricky or Chris G in because of history and the lifestyle they currently lead.

Jago was the first guy back with EMP a very long time ago.

Seems like Kotaku actually has the most concrete info from the incident, police report and all. Comments are surprisingly tame too.

At least Noel was apologetic after the fact, I guess.
