...does anyone else wanna take this

This is probably the most insulting thing you've said to me yet lol

Edit:

By dying off quickly, I meant that it pretty much went from being popular (as MKX was) to shrinking in size quite a bit after a year or two or am I wrong on that too?

NRS isnt doing anything to help keep the current fanbase with the shitty online. They've already pretty much destroyed the PC community. 30k to 3k in 1 week. And it's only going to go lower after that patch.

God damn it.

 

[Professor Beef]

Well, he insulted /r/kappa at one point. They don't like that.

Being shit sure didn't help them, either.

 

[petghost]

Anyone think of examples of players making low/mid tier teams work against top tier teams in mvc2? I can only think of vdo atm. Saw a jp dude running juggs buletta omega red that seemed cool too.

 

[mbpm1]

Max is on another level with his twitch stream. He's doing shit I've never seen anyone else do.

Why do /r/kappa nerds hate him again?

Cos he's garbage esports lol- Wait we want to be that

I already liked Max but this just makes me like him even more.

Vegita-x used to play Rogue/Storm/Tron. That was one of my favorites to watch.

There were also some gimmick glitch Juggernaut teams sort of like current Arthur team where he would power up and tag out to get powered up mode forever. Glitched out Juggernaut would kill you in a couple of hits, it was like playing with permanent XF on (only you are controlling a slow ass character who rarely gets a hit against the top tiers).

 

[theprodigy]

I guess it's more splitting it's sub-section of the community.

it's not really splitting anything, and even if it were, the Smash 4 community is larger than the MKX community

 

[smurfx]

pro players hated on him because he was making more money and that hate spread to stream monsters.

Here, have one of my favourite GIFs:

NSFW language but from the pieces I saw, it was hilarious.

LOL thanks

I feel like shit, someone help me not feel like shit.

Did something bad happen? Let it out, brah. Or don't, if you don't feel like it.

 

[Juicebox_FGC]

NRS isn't at fault for loss of interest.

This happens with every fighting game. They unlock the single player content, they get destroyed online, and they're done.

The actual competitive community is not going to grow just by making a game with casual appeal. That is only the first step. The devs have to incentivize improvement and continuously playing, and they have to do it in a way that anyone can do, not necessarily throw money at a big offline/online tournament.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

New gameplay of that kickstarter fighting game, Pocket Rumble. Looks pretty good.

You hit on something here. Pot bonuses do nothing to grow a competitive community. They're only for the folks who would be playing anyways.

The only company this gen who really seemed to be trying to grow their community was Tecmo with DOA5- where they would put messages in the game about local events. That would be smart for Capcom to do with SFV , the competitive community grows from its locals, not its majors.

That said, NRS can be blamed for the PC communtiy dying - which probably kills any chance they have of building a Russian community. Unless something changes NRS is on my boycott list.

Stop hating Max, DSP, pewdiepie, angry joe, kaceytron, etc. Respect the hustle.

Yeah. While big pots make it more exciting to watch tourneys, it doesn't necessarily mean that more people will attend or become competitive.

Looks like it's high time me, Blackule, and Beef took you out to have a nice dinner, hit the club, maybe hire that masseuse you were always ogling, you naughty boy you. I'd invite Smedwicks and Yams but I don't think those boys are ready yet for the audacious odyssey we're about to embark on. See you at 7, and bring your best polo.

He couldn't care less about that kid of his. he brought ultimate dishonor with those charging stars.

There was a japanese tv segment on esports and there was a small clip of Bonchan losing to Luffy at EVO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUbvgDd5NVA


Most of the segment focused on the Japanese league of legends team, though I'm sure SF4 is probably Japan's biggest venture into "esports." Don't lose to them Daigo!

omfg gootecks and mike ross...

Anyone following x-cellent adventures, this is why I think you SHOULD learn combos early on. They have fundamentals, it's getting them absolutely nowhere. They aren't doing any damage at all. It is hilarious tho.

Some games require you to learn optimal or near-optimal combos earlier than others. MK is one of those games.

 

[mbpm1]

IIRC Injustice was like that too.

Gotta get down those 30%+ combos for no bar or you're playing with nothing.

Then D'vorah and Liu Kang will be fine. Hell Flame Fist Liu Kang do that with Uppercut into flame buffed fireball by itself!

[sixteen-bit]

this is much better than i thought it would be.

Yeah, they really put money and effort into it. I guess because the audience is there for it, haha.

Gotta love the Vega cameo, and JDF, lol. At first I even thought they cast Machida as Ryu.

Flame fist Liu is a monster damage wise. I want to necromancer Shinnok but his damage is pretty low.

 

[xeolleth]

It's been a hectic patch ride with 1.05 coming out but we've update Frame Trapped to version 3.4 including fixes for the latest Ultra patch.

List of changes exceeds well beyond 100's but the general change list is this:

• Fixed 1.05 patch changes
• Fixed issues with the Auto Reversal and disabled block reversal until other bugs are fixed
• Added floor and positional markers to hit box viewer
• UI Tweaks all around
• Stacks now load on separate threads during startup so FT loads quicker and does not lock the UI
• Laying the groundwork for addition of the Frame Trapped Lobbby Monitor to the suite of tools.

Cheers all, let me know if you find any bugs or errors.

You can download the latest here: http://frametrapped.com/

The thing that has me intrigued is whether or not someone will get good on the competitive circuit with his dualist variation. Folks have been utilizing the fireball cancels in dragon's fire for crazy blockstring pressure and combos but dualist has equal pressure once you start seeing folks utilize the dark orb behind folks and using light/dark cancels to keep strings going. There are folks right now with a full charge performing 75% corner combos with darkness loops. The trick is setting up a juggle AND having time to get a full stock of darkness plus the corner. Even still a partial darkness charge can perform the same and get serious work.

 

[KidA Seven]

Mabushin the player that won Marvel at KVO said the Nemo era is over. Nemo wants to money match him over the shit talking.



Topanga just announced they are doing the Charity Cup 5v5 again. There will be 120 teams so 600 players competing. Looks like it will happen on July 4th, but they haven't announced the location.

Yeah this seems like the variation NRS put the most work into

Oh there's plenty of those(altho with different degrees of success), like the Mike Z team Dahbomb mentioned, or the Joe Zaza team(Wolverines/Gambit or Sent), heck even the Justin Wong low tier only vs Darkprince MM, you should check Brett(ROMneto)'s youtube channel, he uses Charlie/Iceman/Thanos and there's plenty of low tier players vids there.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Dat's me, and you reminded me that I was sitting on a bunch of Dissidia replays that I forgot to post.

[Festivo LB R5] kewldude (Lightning/Firion/Prishe) vs RDF2050 (Warrior of Light/Ultimecia)

[Festivo LB R6] Kewldude (Lightning/Prishe/Golbez) vs Xelxas (Gabranth/Sephiroth/Golbez) (Sys-XN)

[Festivo LB R7] kewl (GILGAMESH/Lightning) vs Danned (Yuna/Sephiroth/Tifa)

[Festivo LB R7] Wheels (Cloud) vs AK (Zidane/Golbez)

[Festivo R8 SemiFinals] kewl (Prishe) vs AK (Zidane/Golbez)

The videos are straight from DissidiaForum.com's Youtube channel, so you can watch all their tournament matches there.

Thanks Beef

I saw a recent stream where a... Colossus/Rogue/Ken I think? was giving Chris Matrix trouble.

Vergil/Doom/Strider

Japanese MvC2 players were still using Ice Man and Cammy up until they discovered Ironman in like 2009. They're just now going through the MSP phase. The amount of weird shit that exists when you're region can't do unfly has to be astounding.

I like that team a lot. It's three of the most popular characters, but putting them all on the same team makes it interesting since none of them is normally played on point.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Gonna be going to a tournament in 20 days for street fighter 4. Better brush up on my Adon skills and hopefully I won't be complete trash against Blanka players.
