Fighting Games Weekly | July 13-19 | Stream Monster Yearly: Evolution 2015

I am pretty sure it's how much money you have to spend getting all the versions of the games + getting all the characters in the game in its lifetime then divide that number by the number of characters in the game.

So for UMVC3 it's $60 + $40 + $10 (Jill + Shuma) / 50 = $2.20

This is why Im never supporting BB on release again. To make sure you dont get fucked over you gotta wait till they release the Extend version.

Yeah- believe this is it. There is truth to the nutty BB milking fans stuff.

Both extends kind of suck. BBCP Extend is one of the saddest excuses of a release I have ever seen. Same menus/Same character/loading screen music.

Of course, theyre just 2 DLC chracters and a balance update sold for 50 bucks. If it's the only version of the game you buy though, it isnt too bad.

Thing is ASW will keep doing this because BB fans are totally ok with their release practices.
 
How many characters currently in Blazblue?

Multiply that number by $10 and that's how much money you would need to have spent on the game to keep up competitively since day 1.

.

Will try to watch the most out of Smash 4, Guilty Gear, and Street Fighter.

Will watch finals of everything if I manage the time.

I am rooting for Beef to beat ZeRo.

Or anyone else lol
 
16 characters in a 60 dollar msrp game comes to 3.75. Anything 4 or under I don't have an issue with, as long as you dont need to buy new versions for incremental upgrades.

I've always thought they keep doing this because their other options would be either hitting kickstarter or pulling an SNK, considering how much their games sell.
 
I need to grind out in USF4 to get into the groove again. Too much persona has me pressing buttons too soon, lol
 
ey, if anyone from GAF wants to get some marvel games in, send me a PM. MMs are optional, casuals are fine. will be taking an LGP with me and will upload them to youtube if you're okay with that.

see you kids at the buffets

fingers crossed i get that suite upgrade, dawg. we can host some garbage marvel there.
 
Just wash your hands when leaving the hall and before eating. I think all the handshakes and sharing controllers and touching eyes or eating is the worst part.

Ive only missed 2 evos and never gotten sick, luckily.

To be fair, it's 2 characters, a balance update, 3 new short story paths, about 10 or so new 15 minute long gag reels, and over $50+ worth of DLC from CP (pretty sure I'm really underestimating here) included.

It's not exactly bad value for your dollar, it's just not really value you'd care for if all you want is the gameplay changes.
 
Will be watching:

SF4 (hope Daigo wins, or Kazunoko if Daigo pulls an EVO2014)
Xrd (hope Kazunoko wins)
KOFXIII (hope Tokido or Reynald wins)
Tekken 7

Really nobody should be complaining about cost since many have to buy sticks. :P
 
So people shouldn't be complaining because they have to buy TV/monitors, have to buy consoles to play games or buy high end PCs etc.
You get what you pay for. :P

Really nobody should complain because you know what you get into what that game. You are tacitly endorsing their fuckery by engaging in how they present their game. If you feel you have to do too much to engage in that game competitively I would suggest not getting into it. It's why I will never play Tekken no matter how much people sing it praises.

It's not exactly bad value for your dollar, it's just not really value you'd care for if all you want is the gameplay changes.

Still not even close to being worth 50 bucks. The 50+ bucks worth of DLC is hilariously overpriced to begin with. Isn't it like 6 bucks alone for a voice pack?

Compared to other updates for games like SG and USF4 that contain more content in said updates and are priced at half or less than that of Extend, it just seems like highway robbery. Even if you are looking for non gameplay related changes, BB still has by far the worst value for your dollar you can get relative to other fighters.
 
Dahbomb if the same character appears in both Smash top 8s that's just counts as one, right?
No they count as separate.

So a better way to think of it is that you count how many unique characters in Smash 4 and then how many unique in Melee then you add the number together.

So if you have this result:

Smash 4: Sheik/Fox/Mario/Yoshi/ZSS/Pikachu/Diddy/Sheik (7)
Melee: Sheik/Fox/Falco/Yoshi/Marth/Fox/Peach/Falco (6)

That's 13 characters even though Fox, Yoshi and Sheik are shared between the two games. Different games so they should be counted as different characters IMO.


I should probably make that a bit clear in that question because people have been misinterpreting it a bit.
 
i think this question would go well with dahbomb's questionnaire. which notable players do you think won't make top 8 for their games? cloud is mine for umvc3. of course i'm picking daigo for usf4.
