Just got back from SXSW, the matches were great in person. The seating area was stacked and there were many people who had to stand on the sides. I was going to get some pictures of players since this is the first time I have been to SXSW but I thought it would be rude to interrupt them if they were waiting to watch a match, since I saw KnuckleDu watching closer to the back near the start so I thought he might be trying to study his opponents or if they were coming from a bathroom break. I got a picture with Gamerbee during the break in between sets though. One really awkward thing though was after the exhibition ended and I was trying to walk to concessions, I was walking behind these 3 guys and looking a spot to go around them because it was too crowded. After like 2-3 minutes of walking, I just noticed it was Chen, Ultradavid, and Valle and thought it would be really creepy to ask for a picture or try to chat them up because it might seem like I'm that guy tailing them for quite a bit of time. I have no qualms talking to people, I just don't want to seem like some kind of stan.
lol SixMachine, its great to hear you had a great time. some people tend to avoid people walking up to them like the plague, I know Prog did that to me, maybe it was cause I just tapped his shoulder and asked how he was doing health wise, a little too intimate lol. next time ask them for a picture, I'm sure they're used to it by now.
Edit:
Is it normal to be scared for this cosplayer sitting next to Zhi...?

Weird how the stream fails to load for me on chrome. Works on firefox.
I'm sure it'd be fine. Just don't hoverhand or Skisonic-hand.

Bluh. Does anyone know how to bypass the region filter in PC USFIV (Either by tricking Steam or changing your home region)? You used to be able to do it by changing your system locale to trick GFWL, but Steamworks seems to check by IP. :\
I live in Southern Ontario, and lose out on a lot of potential greenbar US matches.

I don't understand how some people get starstruck by fgc people lol. I attended Toryuken a couple of years ago and it wasn't hard to approach Justin or Dieminion. You guys share the same interests and are at the event for the same reason. It shouldn't be too difficult to start a conversation.
Exactly. You'd be surprised how almost every Marvel player is really into anime lol

Poongko had me worried there. That was a hot match

Lol, I'll definitely walk up and ask them for a picture tomorrow. At that moment it just seem awkward since I was behind them for quite a while already and then just noticed it was actually them. I didn't want to seem like that guy, "Hey man, I've been standing behind you guys for the past 5 minutes and all, but can I have your picture?"
Nah I wasn't starstruck. I was actually already behind them for a while until I noticed at a last minute. It just seemed weird at the moment because I was right there and didn't take notice of them for a while, so I didn't want to look like I'm creeping on them. I had no problem asking Gamerbee for a picture.
I do wish I got a picture of Jonathan Frakes (Riker from Star Trek). They walked off after the panel so the opportunity didn't open up.
On another note, during the breaks in between sets, I went to go play ST and the setup near the entrance a couple times and went undefeated with Chun. It really makes me notice how angry or aggressive the other person looks when playing that game, even if they aren't really angry. I wonder if I look like I put on a mean mug when I play fighting games or if I look like I got dat angry mash down. It's pretty hilarious if you watch people at cabs or setups, you notice how some of the more casual players (I assume so because it seemed like the people knowing what they are doing looked calmer than most) exaggerate movements when playing the game, like some people flick the stick like a game of Golden Putt to do Hadoukens or people lean in or back when they try to Blanka Ball.

damn i missed it, what happened?
"i like chicken boobs" Infiltration 2015
Just read the first couple of pages of that thread about MKX's online multiplayer and I'm legit wondering if I've been in a coma or something. Why do people want to play people from other regions online? In a fighting game... Its generally noticably bad playing people in the same city as you with most fighters. And this is NRS who don't have the best track record, why are people demanding to play internationally before they've even mastered decent same-country netplay? We're just gonna jump from unplayable to perfect worldwide online, which exactly zero fighting games with any version of any netcode have managed to do...

I believe on the commentary they said that they had the same number of net games won. IIRC they were both at -2 games. They probably don't factor in rounds for the decision to go to tiebreaker.

I thought they were tied in games and rounds?
Historically, AUS gets trapped in EU region.
EC USA is closer to WC Europe than to WC USA and quality is playable in other fighters.
But NRS has such bad netcode that you probably can't play outside a 1000 mile radius.

This sounds just as bad as the Capcom Unity forums...

And how are you supposed to play when you have no offline scene for NRS games AND not enough players online ? The CPU can't help you for matchups.
But anyway, the netcode will probably be shit.

Options man. When if you play at weird times. Or the player base is bigger in one region or the other. Especially in situations with small player bases. As long as you can filter out, it should be an option. I personally want the pool to big as possible and let me choose where I want to swim.
Sometimes (in direct experience), when stuff is region locked, there is some problems going on with the netcode, so you are trying to limit the range where you can experience it. Just to have less headaches. I don't know what NRS is doing, who knows. We shall see.

I know they are tied in games. I don't know if they counted rounds. Because James Chen said Hamad only needed to win one game against Daigo to get the tiebreaker match with Justin.
