Fighting Games Weekly | June 18-24

his zoning being so good is what makes me the saltiest. i swear it feels like that damn gunshot tracks you everywhere you are on screen. the otg assist shot lifting you up when he is so far away from you is the 2nd thing i really hate. btw i've played predator before and you definitely want to kill his wesker.
As in his Wesker is bad, or you don't want XF3 Chris?

Agreed on the Wesker. I know everyone is upset about Vergil right now, but Wesker still needs some alterations. People are just impatient with him and get killed. There's still only one great Wesker user IMO, and that's Viscant. Every time he plays Wesker I'm like "Ohhhhh, so that's why he needs nerfs". Otherwise it's just XF4 teleport mashing faster than the eye can comprehend. Viscant would have a real competitor if he would just drop Phoenix.
 
WNF and TRB get about 60-80 per week regardless of any guest celebrities.

Marvel's been able to stay above 50 every week(mainly 60+ I think). But AE has normally been in the mid 30s to mid 40s the past couple of months. But AE jumped from 45 last week to 68 this week. I think Mago definitely played a small part in that.
 
VF5 is way too technical and no frills to ever have a "crazy" amount of people interested in watching. You could pretty much say that for any 3D fighting game, they just don't have the appeal that the more accessible 2D fighting games have. That's why 3D fighting games have struggled to make a prescence in the FGC.
It's a bit of a stretch to say 3D fighters are struggling. VF is still quite popular in Japan and is gradually gaining in popularity in the US and elsewhere (though whether or not it will be sustained is anyone's guess). Tekken is in a bit of a lull outside of Asia from what I can tell, but Tekken 6 is pretty long in the tooth and the scene will probably be revitalized when TTT2 comes out. The only 3D game that I would say is struggling is SCV, and a lot of that is the SC community's fault.

his wesker is a really heavy zoning wesker and he will run the time out just taking shots at you. its really annoying and zoning wesker is pretty damn good but you hardly ever see people use him that way.
 
Damn looking at the AE brackets we could have a top 8 with like Valle, Mike Ross, Justin, Mago, Online Tony, Keno, Snake Eyez, and Andy OCR.

Better than some majors haha.

I haven't been paying attention to AE, but I've been posting the Marvel brackets in here every week and they have been hitting 60's to 80's almost every week.
 
I wanted to post this, but I couldn't find it. Thank you.

With Wesker and Vajra already being BFFs, it would be interesting to see a Wesker team that has those two plus a good projectile assist, and Wesker just lames it out all day.
 
Twitch hasn't worked all night for me...

But I tried ustream, and own3d and they both work perfect.


Once again #FUCKTWITCH God this better not happen at EVO. I normally watch on highest quality so I know it's not my P.C. My internet on speedtest.net just showed 35 up 4 down as well.

FUCK TWITCH!!!
 
Well it was a wild guess....


I'm watching over the 4G. Mike might actually win a tournament... thxs to Justin using Adon and Mago being overseas Mago.

Evo's in a few weeks. Everyone's sandbagging but him

I would take 2 Skisonics over ETR.....

... see I told you guys my hate for ETR was justified.

hmm Justin and Ricky shouldn't be on the same team for SBO. I'm sure U.S will have more than two spots, both of their Rufus are so good and losing one hurts our chance greatly.

Edit: If Justin actually beat Mago with Adon I'm have to eat crow lol

Edit #2: ETR should really shut the fuck up this guy can't even read brackets correctly.
 
Mike Ross in winners GF? How is this possible?

Because Snake Eyez sent Mago to loser so Mike had to play Snake in winner semis.

Justin put Valle into loser so Mike had to play Justin in winner finals, with Justin using Adon.



So basically Mike luck out two straight times in a row.

Then of course Mago eliminate Online Tony, Valle, Snake Eyez, and Justin. So in reality Mike only had to beat Snake Eyez, and Justin using Adon to get into grand finals and now Mago to win.
 
Mike was consistently able to avoid his bad match ups as Western pointed out. He faced Geif, Adon, and Fei in GF. All matches where he could sit on down back. Good for him for pulling it off regardless of how it happened.
