Just one more way the thirteen colonies shaped US culture, I can see that.

Wii online play is still working if you play through Wiimfi, although most people are still just playing Mario Kart Wii. if anyone wants to run TvC though i'm down, i'm ass at that game though. you can even play online with Wii/Wii U consoles while using Dolphin, it's pretty godlike.
still breaks my heart that they were brought back for Soul Calibur 3 Arcade Edition, and then dropped again in SC4/SC5

More or less. For settlers heading west back in the day Illinois and those other stats just before the Great Plains was their last spot to heavily supply on their trip west. Their "midpoint" more or less. That's why it was called the Midwest.
At least, that's how I like to believe the name came into being. =P

3f DP punishes a lot of pseudo safe spirals on block.. unless they're perfectly spaced
I could try option select the backdash with slide but I think its too slow. Can't get a read on him within the two rounds, too short.

for some reason I thought the fastest was 4 frame.
Are you happy because of the post or because he was banned?
Oh yeah of course. I understand that you were explaining that to everyone else (not so much to me) b/c I already knew that. It's always a good thing to have someone that is passionate about said game promoting said game at a tournament, that's for sure!

Post. That thread is so full of defeatism I need a vaccine.
so much of the jp vf scene is well into their 30's and 40's. "talent" is overvalued, practice is undervalued.
That's my assumption as well. Illinois as the Midwest makes sense when you factor in that the naming happened during the era of the Louisiana Purchase.
Also; mountain ranges (Appalachians, Rockies) and the Mississippi did a lot of "natural" dividing for the USA.god damn lol, this statement is so true. only reason I got decent at marvel, even though i got beat 90% of the time as a beginner, is because i kept on going and practiced. best way to get good.
Hey, you got to know math and formulas if you want to be the best at idolmaster.

Li Long's Michaelangelo impersonation is whack.

Vaccines are preventative and are not cures.
Blame our popular culture and the natural human impulse to avoid what is hard. It's why those who keep at it are rare, it's less about ability (Although it can help them in that it makes it a bit easier) and more about the rare individual that will push through something for it's own reward. Most people talk bullshit about "It's it's own reward" but you take out incentives and they drop out.

It is also a outgrowth of the politics of the age and the Civil War. Why So Cal is not considered southwest? Culturally distinct as a result of who moved there in the beginning and the fact that it was a state for around 10 years before the civil war where most of the geographical naming conventions came into being.

I thought you agreed with the dude in that thread?

My position is complex. I think there are points where both sides have merit. Shit in life is never simple. Some people have the mind to naturally go into the fighting games and that makes when they meet a challenge they can get driven further into it.
People have different thresholds. If somebody does not have the mind set for a fighting game nor the personality, they will never go into what people say makes it so endearing. That is part of the reason I will never say "Any yahoo can get top 8" Do they have the capability? Arguably but potential and what happens in fact are two different things.

talent is nonexistent unless you're talking about height or something physical like that
does anyone know of a stick builder that doesn't take forever to get in contact with?

I like the brutalities in MKX. Works well in tournament since you can do one without wasting a bunch of time.
heh. you often hear commentators and others say that this or that player is talented at fighting games. now they could just be meaning to say they're really good (which is not the same thing). lots of people conflate the two. but i always assumed they meant the person has a natural aptitude and break down games very quickly. justin is the poster boy for this. fchamp would be considered the hard-worker.
I find it funny with Justin being the poster boy since he said he wasn't that good of a student but after watching GTO, he got straight A's.

The fact that they count damage in billions is amazing
I can't get into these ESL matches. 10K viewers really?
Boring commentators, LONG AS HELL wait between matches, and generally just one guy steam rolling his opponent. Very little back and forth.
Spooky sitting at 1K? Man he should consider swapping to a different day just to rack up more views because he deserves it.

I like this idea. Though I never really cared for giants. I always thought they should be sub bosses or for seperate mode "funsies". I still remember doing PTX throw into the corner regrab throw forever though lol. Those dudes should be for heroes/heralds mode only.

I always loved this little touch as well. So fun to see 24.8 BILLION damage when you did a combo as Roll

Most of the time talent is talked about it's a physical trait yes.
But you can also say talent is picking up things faster than the normal person does. Most of the time it's motivation more than anything. Some people will never have the motivation to grind through the games if their threshold is too low.
However in certain circumstances I will always push back against the idea of all you need is effort in other endeavors, it's never so simple.
As to the stick thing.
I think each of them have a bit of a backlog.

no, most of the time it's people treating some skill as if it were a physical trait that the person was lucky to be born with
nah, that's a skill honed through experience
motivation is also a skill, not a talent
i agree that it's not that simple
the idea shouldn't be "all you need is effort" but "if you put forth the effort, you can see results"
along with effort, you also need to actually be focused on improving and the proper feedback to enable you to improve
just playing fighting games a lot isn't going to make you godlike at them, but if you decide to be godlike at them and play a lot with that in mind, you'll improve
there's no reason to talk about talent when discussing fighting games
Just out of curiosity, what do you think about articles like this?
I agree that a lot of people who talk about talent in fighting games are misguided though.
Speaking of Henry Cen he is looking really good these days. It looks like he's staying in better shape, good haircut, etc.
I wish he'd hop on mic more. He's got a good personality.
