He did win Injustice in 2014 but he wasn't the favorite going in. Theo was unquestionably the favorite heading into EVO 2014. Sonic Fox was a contender, he had won CEO and Final Round, but Theo was winning everything he entered at that time. Sonic Fox didn't pull ahead in Injustice until after EVO 2014.
Once I learned to use the game's generous buffer I found it easy to do consistently.
It wasn't hard to figure out, it's just that once I realized what the underlying mechanics at work were, It felt more satisfying, because I learned more about the game in general. It's knowledge I can apply elsewhere.
It's the difference between knowing the physics and knowing the math behind the physics.
SFV promotion on point thus far and they've pretty much only demoed/shown characters.
Whenever the first blowout is, it will cause ripples.

ah so that's what you mean.
Why do Smash threads always turn into this? Why? Why?
Aren't we on an enthusiast forum? I thought by now we wouldn't need to have to educate people on the virtues of older games or why people would *gasp* enjoy one game over another.

That looks like a troll post so I wouldn't pay it much mind.

Hey, you should play me in Smash.

It's pretty common in competitive gaming to abandon older games for newer ones, even if the older game is really good.
I'll make some time for it soon I promise. I just want to hit Lvl. 20 & B rank in Splatoon first.

well obviously the problem is on you for liking something and not dropping it for something else.
The biggest tragedy in competetive gaming.

Ok how often does this happen? Because I need some examples.
Pretty much every competitive game had groups of hold outs that refused to move on when a new version was released.
It's not like the transitions are smooth either, in a lot of cases the developer/publisher ends up being involved prodding the player base via monetary incentives or ongoing support.
I am sure most of the transition happens as new players come into the franchise and start with the latest entry. Which defines their experience and expectations. Or as some people would put here 09ers.

Is that really the case? Or is it that the game is already on life support, and folks are ready to move on?

I mean, moving on is important if you want developer support. If the community doesn't care for it, then keep playing. However, the community has to know it's a risk if the developer keeps making games for the series as your game could become too old to last.

Like CvS2 was great but you don't really see people play it much anymore.
.
plus fighting games arent the only games I play. Theres no way ill ever master them. No point trying to either in a game i just dont care for. Just another arbitrary barrier for us casuals.

SF4 scene after SFV next year tho

I got a feeling certain people will love to see how the SF4 reacts to the change because of their petty ways
Chess 2 is out. Get with the times bro.

Two Smashes, two SFs for EVO 2016
No Marvel ayy lmao
There's definitely an petty inferiority complex among people that are playing the newer game.
*cue whiney white kid voice*
"Smash 4 is SO good you'd know it you weren't so old and stuck in your ways. Like my Grandpa."
People should stop posting this like it means anything.
It was there in the SFxT version. It's just a random artist easter egg.

how does ryu make money again? i know the sf world has tournaments but has it ever been canon that he won a tournament?
He may not show up for trophy ceremonies, but he assuredly pockets the cash.
Like a true tournament player back in the day.
isn't it bison that throws the tournaments though? the org is destroyed once he is defeated so who is going to pay him?

Money from tournaments. Forgot where I read it, but he has a bunch of money and he chooses not to spend it. More specifically, he prefers to not buy shoes and go barefoot.

Yep. Its fun to hide easter eggs. Can't do as much as you used to when I first started. I used to put my co-workers faces in upper windows or hide their faces on certain sections of a map. I put my daughter's birthdate on some mechanical pieces I made. A lot of it got rezed down to be indistinguishable so the text would be down to nothing especially during the ps2/xbox age. Even the ps3/360 age spec and normal maps would be mitmapped you couldn't see anything.
You do try to hide easter eggs of past games in hopes that people might notice (and some do!) but it mostly means nothing.
Ryu is an extreme minimalist.

Looks like Ryu had v-trigger activated for that shoryuken. Denjin shoryuken? Also looked like he had a target combo.

My father is amazing at being able to take a nap anywhere. One time he just fell asleep mid-conversation
Helps a bunch in a traveling job like he has, though.
You're not feeling hungry for the dough?
Sadly. So many older games I've found to be better than the newer iterations. Sometimes so much they should've lived on and let the sequel rot.
I'm very happy AoE2 players are keeping their game alive, and that BW seems to be growing in the RTS space at least.
People should move from Chess to Go Keepo

Id play the fuck out of CvS2 if it had some kind of netcode.
I hate SF4's online so much. Everyone's netcode is garbage and I still can't tell who's green bar since everyone is flashing.

Ryu probably mops up at locals and regionals
Some Photoshop wizard can change this to "The Fight Money is all."
I suppose they want a happy medium between "check out these 1 frame links for BnBs" and "chain combos/auto-combo mashing yo what"
