If you had Saber printing money for you 24/7 you I'm pretty sure you wouldn't give a flying fuck about what anyone else wanted, either. :x
But they're both anime.

Hey Diddy fall back homie
Balance patch updates are anti-competitive?
It's more like he wants to find a middle ground, much like how the devs of Mario Kart eliminated snaking cause most folks can't pull it off.
Xrd preorders are up on JPSN. 4GB PS3/5.3GB PS4. If I'm guessing right at the moon runes, preloading starts on 12/2 Japan time. Elphelt free with preorders.

Really depends on the changes.
Some changes are designed to make the game easier for players, reduce complexity/learning curve and even lower skill gap. Some changes are designed to only be balanced at an "average" level of play, not at the top level.
Not that I think this Smash patch is that but patches don't necessarily mean "more competitive balance".
I will forgive them if Fate/UC2 gets announced at Capcom cup until Melty HD
in my dreams
Thanks for the kind words! I wish I knew enough to do videos for other characters (motivation to step up my Dante and Strider game at least, haha). The problem I have with learning fighting games is not that information isn't out there at all, but that it's often all over the place and you've gotta search and search to actually get the whole picture sometimes.
It's a rare treat when there's a dedicated community that makes a truly comprehensive character guide- the umvc3 Storm thread on SRK is really great, but sadly, that kind of thing is pretty rare
And Street Fighter x Tekken is the best Capcom game in over 10 years.

Late to the conversation but it definitely needs it. With alternate guarding you can avoid many command grabs even accidentally just by changing from a standing to crouching block. If you whiff a command grab while in front of the other player is doing an alternate guard you will get fully punished for it. To beat alternate guard you usually use a low attack since it will most likely hit them when they are trying to stand and if you can combo into your command grab, you can finish it that way if you want and get your set up.
XDZW the chinese King of Fighters like game with Terry and Benimaru did throws terribly imo. Normal throws in that game are 2 buttons versus the usual 1 button throw for KOF. And with how the netcode works and the game was programmed it, along with alternate guarding, a lot of times there were many unthrowable frames and you can just eat it for attempting it. In KOF if you attempt a normal throw, you just get a close heavy normal and you can just do a block string or something safe and chip. In this game if you miss the normal throw attempt you get a whiff and are open to get punished, and it actually is pretty easy to do damage in the game. Not to mention normal throws didn't do that much damage last time I played it (When roller skate girl was released, which is quite a long time ago).

FAB gonna FAB lol. With this sort of reasoning Mightmar would never be allowed to pick up Anak in a hypothetical DS4 for fear of looking OP. Same goes for any other true character specialists or low tier heroes.
Also, I mean it seriously. FAB gonna FAB whether you are great or your character is off the charts. Anji's +R version ain't no walk in the park, though. From the early vids I saw he gives Pot hell and then some.
When are Japanese companies gonna get that Steam is an amazing place to sell their games?
Heh, I remember that move. I loved playing MechaGief in MvC.

Dunno. All I know is that SNKP has been getting a bunch of my money they wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Don't think it was trolling, more likely it was just they couldn't come to an agreement.
That said, I think Nyuu and Examu could make something work.

Yeah I passed this sorry but it's because I didn't watched to much Xrd.
I didn't know 6K was his shoulder charge in Xrd and that's kind of stupid. Also the vaccum effect removed was stupid. Also I don't know if you noticed but someone told me 5P does not touch crouching characters on block now so you can't mixup from it.
That's it. It's like Ogawa with Eddie, Koichi with I-no or Shonen with Testament. These guys just have the game in their blood and their character in the brain.
I like Arcana Heart but it's not the first game I would like to see on Steam to be honest. Still more FGs on steam = a good thing.
The capture is clean, and while I'm not a fan of words in the video (or at least, so many), it was onscreen just the right amount of time.
Font is clean as well as the middle logo.
Great stuff.
No comment on the audio, as I don't have audio on this machine.
Looks like you need Omega in your life
if it happens, it's going to happen there, or a PC mod, in which case, you're covered.

Chaos Breaker with good netcode is where it's at.
It finally got netcode? I remember that they had to deflect a lot of detractors because it didn't have netcode at all. Good on them for getting that in.

Lol, no. Just chiming in on the want PC ports stuff above your post. The port is as low effort and online as horrible as ever, sadly.
You mean Chaos Code?

Thanks for the feedback! I'm of two minds on the text- I like to explain things clearly, so people have the 'why' to go with the 'how,' especially since a lot of combo videos give you no indication whether or not a combo is practical, how it's useful, etc., but I also would like to avoid breaking up the flow of the video if possible. Maybe it'd be better to put the heavy reading in the description for people who are interested? I'm just happy I'm slowly getting the hang of things.

Villager laughs at your requests to desist.
Such a great character. Throw a buncha crap at people, run away, frustrate them into walking into a flower pot or bowling ball.
I love to pocket Robin's Thoron and fling it back at them for an insta-gib
I mainly play my son, who uses MiiFighter almost exclusively, so I don't get to practice pocket much. I wish I could pocket that stupid aerial down kick. /salt
Meanwhile, Bill Trinen says he's a Zelda main in Melee.

I wish Balrog was a little quicker than he is in ultra. Would love to see Daigo use him again. Daigo smashed with him in SF 2 days

PSN preorders won't be available for GG in NA. Can't say anything more, unfortunately.
With the Stage Creator returning with Smash 4 and having built-in sharing this time around, I wonder how much the competitive community will embrace it to get around the complaints that Smash 4 is short on tourney legal stages. The Stage Creator would make it easy to recreate Project M stage designs, since they're mostly static anyways. Uniformity could be achieved if a big organizer or tournament shared stages that were labeled as "Evo/Apex/Smashboards offical custom stage 1/2/3/etc" that were then used in organized competitions.
