With all this hub bub about dead games, how does GAF feel about a weekly gathering where we play older games, such as whatever on fightcade or stuff like Melty, or whatever possible emulation for online matches (I didn't try to see if I can run online melee well)? Can change the game on a weekly basis.
I know in the last thread someone wanted to play some Darkstalkers 3 aka Vampire Savior, so we can pick that game first. We can set up a weekly day for it, whichever one people feel they can attend (I personally can only play online matches at night time). Even if you never played it before, I think people should try older games that are out of their element. Get edumacated yourself on different game playstyles.

I hear from Karst that Blackule is good at beating people, if you need some help.

on TotalBiscuit's stream today, he said he reached out to some unsponsored FGC players about the possibility of sponsoring them, and none responded to him. That's too bad. Sounded like it soured him on the whole idea.
I hope you bring some to CEO. I might start saving up so I can buy one.
the ship has sailed already ;_;7
Mike Z on ultrachen going over skullgirls
a lot of really interesting stuff especially training mode. I think it's safe to say Skullgirls training mode blows Guilty Gear's out the water (never thought I'd say that). I wish a lot of major fighting games take note to Skullgirls.

Well last year Justin had that money match with Khaos last year in MVC2 which was a blow out as expected. A lot of hype people coming from quite the distance to support Khaos but that shit got snuffed real quick.

Here's the match for people who want to see it.
I am in full support of this.

We will be bringing some to CEO. We might have a special product there too.
We haven't announced it yet. However it will be a range or products.
Since when did Skullgirls have bursts?! 0_o

Technically since forever. Unless you specifically mean undizzy, in which case it's been there since Squiggly got added iirc.
Since the beginning.
Only the attacker can give their opponent an opportunity to burst though, so you don't have one that you can use just like that.

(A little late to the training mode discussion)
Yatagarasu has all the training mode options you could want.
You can save up to 10 dummy recordings, play them back at random, and they're saved when you turn the game off.
You can program the dummy to react to X with Y. For example, after blocking once, do a reversal special move or hit LP as soon as possible. You can also set the dummy to respond with a recording. For any response, you can delay the response up to 60 frames.

Oh, it's linked to that infinite prevention thing.
All it takes is for someone to run it and provide setups, and for people to show up. Hell, even SFxT had a side tournament with about 45 people last year.
These anime games are all run because they've been run for years, for the most part. This is not new, and the players consistently show up.
To be fair, I still think the greater FGC looks at outsiders with extreme suspicion, even now -- and he's had (to my knowledge) zero interaction with fighting games before then. I wouldn't be shocked if the people getting contacted didn't even know who he was.
Yatagarasu has some pretty goddamn serious training options.
It also has the worst menu UI I have ever seen in a fighting game. x_x All it's missing is the menu sound effects from Ehrgeiz.

There's a more recent undizzy "green burst" too based off loosely off number and type of hits.
sounds brilliant, especially the delay. I'm very excited for this game. it feels super overdue on steam. your vids on it have been great!

Gosh, if only there were a way people could play each other from a far...
It's not the distance, or lack of arcades that's the problem.
It's the attitude. Actively WILLING other games to die. Being ENCOURAGED to will other games to die by the community itself. Dropping games when they aren't as popular anymore. Not even TRYING new games when they come out.
It's not a good look.

Good luck and have fun! First tournament is always special
After the past number of months, you couldn't offer me enough money to be sponsored by him
I think a lot of people see the community as being zero-sum, and at times it does feel small enough where that could be the case. In that instance, someone starting to play another game is perceived as a direct threat. Whereas in Japan there's a big and dense enough playerbase that some people going off and playing Shin Koihime Musou or Chaos Code or whatnot are a non-factor to the bigger games.

Can anybody who was at Toryuken explain the DOA situation where the last few matches were to be streamed and then it got just shuffled off to the side?
I know the TOs are not receptive to DOA but maybe somebody here has a better picture?

Of course it's the attitude, it's simple why the fgc is smaller than it can be. Part of it is a bit of a batshit non welcoming attitude. It's why when DOA was not a Evo I was not shocked nor disappointed, I know the people behind it. Only way this will change is we get some other scene growing or some other people active that are beyond the usual suspects.
As to the TB thing, man has a bad rap, you should be shocked that somebody like him would look to sponsor some fg players. Now I can understand why some would not take him up but some outside help could be good. Somebody less tied up in the ideology of the scene.
Fighting games were a mistake. They're nothing but trash - Ono
How big are DOA tourenies, anyway?
I wanted to make a GIF of this, but I wasn't sure who to put as the person saying it.
Lord Sirlin is the correct answer.

I hate that there's a P4AU PS4 stick and the game isn't out on PS4.
I don't think you can find a gif for Ono where he's down enough for that quote. ;p

Put it on the "anime is garbage now" Miyazaki gifs.
The gif has no value if doesn't seem like the words come from the mouth of someone involved in fighting games.

ZeRo, who is considered the best Smash 4 player in the world said the entire United States sucks at Smash 4, called Captain Falcon players bad, and is just tired of people claiming he just plays top tiers. He fucking went in on EVERYBODY in the Smash 4 community.

Heh, so true. Plus, I'm sure it will e easy to find a video of him talking calmly
with just enough disgust in his face to make it work.
He's really letting them get to him. Dude can't handle being on top.

Wut.
It kind of is with the labtime requirements of modern games. Play 2k2um, 3S, and use Faust in GG? Easy. Play 13, SF4, play a high labtime character in GG? Uh, oh.
Can you explain this please?
oh yea. I remember hearing about him interested in this about a year ago. W/E, Im not the biggest fan of TotalBiscuits
It's bad enough I have to hear his name around Hearthstone, keep him out of my fighting games please.
He was a large proponent of GG, and not the kind we talk about in this thread,
I'm going to keep challenging this as a matter of perspective and scope. You can lab monster just as much or as little to get better results in most old games as new games. "Labtime requirements" went up because people are better now and youtube exists.

I had no idea he was going to Evo. Nice. Although side tourneys just got a lot more scary now.

credit card fine right?
While I agree with you in general about ppl getting better and youtube, some games DO require more labtime than others.
Tekken requires more labtime than VF. KOFXIII definitely requires more labtime than 2k2UM (no AG in that) , and it's not just the talent level of players, but the amount of hard and vital execution in each game.
