I know I kid I kid. He may not win the big one very often. But, I have a lot of respect for him sticking with that team of his. Shit is rough to get in on zoners.

The issue there is that once you weed out all of the "bad" players, the only people who are left are the people who have been playing for 5+ years -- there's no new blood, so the games slowly (or quickly) die off. You need that churn of bad players, so that some of them can become less bad, and then out of that pool people get better and better and so on. Without that, it largely stagnates. Granted, that super-dedicated core will continue playing for eons, but that's all there is.
I think it's that those titles are examples of games where low/mid level competitors have been effectively weeded out and pretty much only high level players are active now. Even though the 3S and KOF communities(id say more 98/02 than XIII) are still pretty active, their heyday has long since ended and their scene is effectively 'dead' from a mainstream standpoint.
This runs in parallel with Marvel's current situation. Generally when you lose the lower/mid level players and you only have high level players remaining active on your game, that means that your scene is indeed dying or soon to be dead.
it's bound to happen to a game with no support from the developer for 3 years. look at 3rd strike and mvc2 in America in the mid to late 2000's.
and those game's have very limited support from their communities.
i missed this post cuz i was busy gettin' mad at video games, so:
i think the most realistic guys on that list all play zero. also flux too (vs. chrisg and champ specifically. vs justin is it's own bizarre bracket as he's wildly different to approach matchup/playstyle-wise than those 2)
once rayray brushes up his zero he'll probably be the best contender for busting everyone's balls because he has the proper matchup exp available to him with his teams alongside actually being a good player (over simply a competent one like other zeros [zeroes?]) to really bring out the insane stupidity of that character.
i am almost 100% certain t-bo will not beat any of the 3 gods without a miracle after seeing him play casuals vs. my training partners/playing him quite a bit while wildly sleep deprived. which is a damn shame 'cuz i'd love a texas rep to swing at those guys and land solid hits.
japanese players are a true wildcard though, i have no idea what the fuck to expect and even watching kvo footage i'm still just like "this is so weird". my heart really wants to brush them off but time and time again they manage to throw wrenches everywhere and just mess dudes up like it aint nothin'
What about when Justin doesn't enter SF4
T7 should be friday. no reason why this unfinished game should get a sunday slot. KI deserves to be on sunday.
we already learned the answer to that last year
https://twitter.com/jwonggg/status/543318927384649728
T7 is finished. It's just still under development for consoles.
Still hoping they replace most of the character models once it hits consoles in 2017
I don't think Japanese Marvel players will do a lot unless a whole bunch of them attend.
Every year a handful attend and every year they get snuffed at top 16 range. Chou got the closest at 9th place. You need the top 5 of that KVO to enter PLUS RF and Nemo (and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head) for Japan to crack top 8.
I think Japan doing damage in Marvel would light up an ass in the US Marvel scene. That's not going to happen just like an American isn't going to win EVO USF4. But never stop believe... I will always be rooting for the US of A!
"He knew he wasn't going to win SF4 so he didn't enter in order to concentrate on the other games"
But that's not going to happen, he will enter SF4.

Ok that's an easy one:

But that's not going to happen, he will enter SF4.

Why is it thus?
There won't be any drama because that's always been the rule. There hasn't been a tournament that allowed the winner to change assists.
FChamp has been doing that in every single tournament including EVO...
Like what would happen is that FChamp would win, loser would change their team and then FChamp would change his Doom assist to match the new team.
I always thought that Winner could change assist type since I saw him doing that. Like I always thought it was the same rule as Ultra changing for USF4.

Big E salty over KI prize money distribution?

fuckin' called it, man
stop making me watch games I don't like
What's the context of this? It seems bizarre to me.
Something about other tourneys getting prize pot bonuses and his not? Idk

maybe low pre-reg numbers for KI?
So he's going to retaliate by not having KI or Xbox Ones at his event at all?
That's weird. I thought EVO of all events would enforce the rules.

Yeah I know I double checked the rules and you were right on the rules. But I have definitely seen FChamp change assists despite being the winner and someone even pointing it out on stream.
Oh well if the players don't care then I don't care.
That'll teach em!
...im not sure what that does at all other than hurt the game you're repping

Summer Jam isn't until end of August.
Seems dumb to me too.
Japan is small enough the online marvel is a bit more feasible and some players regularly have online tournaments/meet-ups for low level players. There are places in several major cities where you can get offline play fairly easily/reliably which are open to anyone (how Bum's house is, I think?). Also, in general, Japanese players are more likely to stick with THEIR game rather than abandon ship the second something new comes out. Marvel has a reputation for hype even in Japan (some of American marvel culture has definitely bled over), so if you wanna be part of the group of people going nuts at a tournament, marvel is the way to go. If you started getting hype during ultra, it'd be you alone in a sea of golf claps looking like a nut, haha.

He'd have a handsome salary out of it for sure.
It's ultimately the player's responsibility to call out a rules violation (I know that's the case at Evo, and that's generally how it's handled at most tournaments). A judge or TO can step in and call it on their own, but if they don't notice it and the players don't notice it (or care), then it's a non-issue at that point.
You would think he would have advance notice for planning purposes, though. On that note, I suspect he may also know who the other tournaments getting pot bonuses are and he's not happy about that.
Truly, a man that defies all odds with his team. Can't believe he wrecked Chris so badly at NWM.
OMGITZANDRE beat Frankie G 7-3!
Crowd goes nuts
Btw, where is combobreaker happening and when?
If its cause of the KI money than a grown ass man is acting like a child over it? When did it start becoming for the money instead of the community? I understand its difficult running these events but they weren't done in hopes of getting money, it was to support the community. Big E needs to clarify his stance as to why he's doing this. Sucks for KI players that are going to Summer Jam.
I love Japanese marvel players lol
This is incredible. Especially the end.
Is than an actual match that would happen?
Why does OMGitzAndre keep doing these MM? He always loses and FrankieG will definitely demolish him.
Have his wounds already healed from this beat down?
He got beat so bad the other dude went fucking Super Saiyan....

TEKKEN 7 is not on Friday. We already announced that the Friday of EVO will be practice day for people to play the game/practice.
oh thank god. this is needed
Fucking Tayson...
Mango has a VERY good chance to take it all again this year. I'm personally rooting for PPMD, Hungrybox, and aMSa though. And I think Zero is just too far ahead of everyone right now. Maybe something will change between now and Evo, but I just don't see it.

Do you have any specific examples of when he did this? I only remember one time that there was a controversy over it, when people thought he switched his Dormammu assist. After reviewing the footage it turned out he hadn't switched assists after all.

Sounds like it's about KI prize distribution. I would assume he was hoping something would be included for Summer Jam as that's his next event, I think?
I am busy right now and don't have time to look through multiple FChamp footage to find out the match but I can do it tomorrow.
