Ok good to know Evo didn't stop women from entering the main tournament

Is it wrong to say fuck eSports?

Oh well

Fuck eSports/fuck this thing why would they ever think it's a good idea

He also tweeted this:
Ryota Niitsuma @Ryota_Niitsuma · 9h
Capcom's still in the business of making fighting games, and it's thanks to fans like you!

Don't know when they announce something, but yeah, there's something going on

Would anyone mind posting the Niitsuma tweet? I can't access Twitter right now.

Thanks, guys.

I imagine it has to do with the Vita version getting taken down from PSN finally. That's the last active distribution method for the game.

At a NYU talk a while ago about women in competitive gaming, one of the panelists brought up how she's not against women only tournaments as a means to encourage more women to come out and play in a competitive environment while still being a "safe" place. And also how it's a good way find friends of the same gender who enjoy the same games you do as well as for networking purposes. She brought up how people tend to put a lot of expectations on an unknown girl who shows up to a tournament, especially if she ends up playing on stream, and don't let her be just another pot monster like most of the other guys who show.

She made it clear, however, that this shouldn't come at the detriment of women being able to participate in regular tournaments though.

It was a different way of looking at women only tournaments that I hadn't heard or thought of before. I think a recording of it was uploaded online eventually. I'll see if I can't find it when I get home later.

Don't tournaments usually run KOF on PS3? Is there any difference between 360 version and PS3 version?

I'm LTTP on this one, but I'm just seeing the gender separation stuff. Screw eSports and screw the idea that the FGC is the dirtier, misogynistic cousin of eSports. That would never happen at a major FGC event.

The entire reason gender separate categories exist in athletic sporting events is to ENSURE that there's a stage for women to play. In a lot of sports, women can not compete with men on a physical level. The Canadian Women's OIympic Hockey team is the best women's hockey team in the world, bar none, and when they play men, they play Bantam AAA (the top-14-16 year old boys league) because that's where they found some degree of physical parity.

It should be the most obvious thing in the world that sliding cards around in fucking Hearthstone has no physical barrier.

What does that UMvC3 tweet even mean?!

Quit playing with my heart.

His previous tweet was about the Vita version of UMVC3 being on sale and being delisted.

I think he means a salable product.

It means "Thank you for playing". Nothing more.

Thanks, guys.

Indeed.

Reunion of the Mortal Kombat 1-3 cast happened few days ago.

I used to have a huge crush on the Sonya actress as a kid. There was a UMK3 documentary video, and I would watch it over and over just to see her.

Edit: Oh hey look, a tribute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubGZh7qSN1A

Nostalgiaaaa!

In all fairness, this would never happen (and to my knowledge never has) at any legit esports event either. This is solely a thing IeSF is doing.
 
Alright, so all that Sin garbage is out of the way, now they can focus their efforts on the Bridget reveal next week.

lol, I remember like 2007 or 2008 when GGII Overture scans came out and motherfuckers swore Sin was adult Bridget.

Looks like Rog declined. :(

Louffy loves money matches, and they're always hype when he's playing. The one vs Mago at Dreamhack Winter 2013 was amazing.

IIRC EG members aren't allowed to money match or they risk losing their contracts.

It seems that Misterio and Woo are in the same KOFXIII bracket at EVO so at least one of them will have to qualify in losers.
 
You folks are getting some rough matches right off the bat.

All UMVC3 discs have built-in obsolescence via a sick ass explosion.

Finally, planned obsolescence that provides value for the consumer.

Today I learned that someone out there actually remembers WMAC Masters.
I like staff reunions like this, when everyone's on good enough terms to stand being in the same room with one another.

Wasn't one of them in WMAC Masters?

Yep. Someone in the comments section mentioned that, too - linked over an episode and everything.
