If i had a company and needed someone who was as eloquent and well-versed in language and culture, i would hire Zhi on the spot.
Sure some of the things he says some people have a problem with, but from what i have seen zhi has a mastery of being able to come up with different topics on the spot.
everything from pop, classical, historic, and even scientific. i don't see someone who is going out of his way to offend. on the contrary, i see someone who is either well read or keeps up with current world events and tries to add a comedic flair to his commentating style.
you going to tell me that a singaporan videogame commentator who speaks 3 languages should even know about ferguson, us border issues, or french current events?
come on son, relax a little.
EDIT: although i do admit he has some next level thirst and needs to dial it down sometimes
Viper, maybe.
But I've never felt Fuerte is a dumb character above the basic level of play. Once people know what to do, you are playing a guessing game where the opponent always has more options and can always do more damage.
Unless you play like this... which to me is amazing.
Ladies and Gentlemen - we are witnessing something truly special here. Others will say they were up, past drunk, crosseyed and yelping at their monitor, watching this fucking nonsense; that they saw what Pepeday was doing to Bonchan on this night and were better for it. But they will be lying. And it will be understandable. Who wouldn't want to be seeing this crazy-ass bullshit as it happens?
But we, the few, and the proud, we actually are witnessing this ridiculous mess. And it is good.
I love it in principle, but the implementation of it in a lot of cases if egregiously bad. Ky's standard fireballs come to mind. Way too strict of an execution requirement just to open up that aspect of his game.
Thank YOU everyone who tuned in/shared the info and enjoyed the weekend's events at TGS. I am extremely exhausted and just settled into my hotel room (1:30 AM). It's been a long week. There's a lot of work that goes on here and it's not just the production you see. I was stuck in meetings/interviews and other things throughout the weekend. I am extremely proud of my team that helped make this happen. Sp00ky, Cameraman, Zhi and everyone else. GOOD SHIT.
no, it's really not. it's really, really not. at all.
Why would you want a FGW thread title as a GAF memberI would be. I like Ninja Gaiden 3: Razers Edge.
So I've just finished watch and I see why everyone was hyped as shit over the last couple of pages. That El Fuerte and Rolento rang rings around Daigo.
I think we should have a new member join NeoGaf called
Q-BombIsTopTier

According to Fooblat on Twitter, there were some pool/bracket shenanigans going on at GUTS this weekend.

Ruh roh, that doesn't seem great.
Though I don't know much about this topic, I wish I had more to offer than just a blanket "Well this is bad, we need to fix it somehow" without any thoughts on how to do that.
Thanks Mark.
I am amazed by your stick collection. Over 400 sticks. I said WOW.
I wished they revealed more for Tekken 7 but oh well.....location tests are coming soon anyway.

A character can be dumb AND bad. Fuerte played as a slot machine is both abominably dumb and no fun to play against but also bad because of payoffs.
Me. I don't want to see Fuerte. Fuerte is cancer.

That's literally all there is too it. Just stop doing it. If you didn't register or you are late and such. Too fucking bad. People need to stop getting away with shit because they are "known" or "friends" with the people running the shit.

The LI Joe problem is the issue- they actually just don't see the issue. It's so dumb.Well yeah, but then if TO's, even say, big name TO's who run majors for years and years and years do it, then what, do they just start boycotting majors? It DOES need to be stopped of course, and it's just hoping that known players or friends of TO's will stop trying to get special treatment, and that those TO's will stop making exceptions too.
I'm still calling him QuizTopTier myself, fuck the hatersI didn't know how to pronounce QisTopTier until now

There is no L-canceling. There's auto landing cancel on -some- aerials.Was Shiek L-canceling???? I thought the landing lag was too much (according to Gaf).
Those TOs just don't think that stuff is a problem.
In my experience there's a huge difference in the mentality of some TOs. Some have the "do you know what I've done for this community?" attitude, where they're doing us all a favor by running these events and we can hold that since they've been around for years. Then there's the others, who understand their job is to provide a service. We are a customer. Their tournaments are great and they've moved past these problems.

Hiya FightingGAF, I'm trying to get into fighting games! I've never played them that extensively, but I want to get more into them. I've played Brawl a total of 10 times I think and I've been dicking around with the 3DS Smash demo. On Steam I have KOF XIII and Mortal Kombat.
Any tips for newbies?
Having all events be pre-reg only would help, but that's never going to happen since the FGC is so lazy/poverty. I get the idea behind at the door registration, it helps people that might not know if they can attend until the last minute, but it causes so many problems when people abuse it. Challonge or something like it should be mandatory too(luckily that seems to be happening). That way there's a clear record of how the brackets are set up.
If you fast fall certain aerials it acts like an L cancel.Thanks for the clarifying the mindsets. This seems spot on on what goes through the minds of TO's when they are running a tournament. I would honestly prefer that the TO's who have the former mentality to hold that L when top level players, who don't appreciate bracket rigging, don't come to their tournament.
Please explain.

Remember in brawl where aerials just auto canceled when you hit the ground? Same deal for Smash 4 except certain aerials still retain landing lag. In the demo, Mario's Fair has landing lag but his nair and uair do not.

Well his Ex leg throw is like a teleport in how safe it is

Elf is almost Bison like in terms of how fucking hard it is to attack him on wake up now. Go for a meaty normal, EX run gets him out. Go for a wake up throw, EX legs gets him out. And their is the EX Q bomb which has hit/throw/fireball invincibility and even on block only gets punished by minor stuff without Ultra or Super. Basically the risk/reward is worth it for Elf players to go for it earlier in matches.
how about putting all late registrations in one bracket? they should have a harder time than people who pre-register. noel brown not paying and still being able to enter is b.s.Having all events be pre-reg only would help, but that's never going to happen since the FGC is so lazy/poverty.

The issue with doing that is you can end up with some wildly unbalanced brackets that way. You could have one bracket where everyone shows up and another where 3/4ths of the bracket no-showed. I actually used to do provisional brackets for events I helped run, until I realized that between the drops and the late adds, you had to redo everything on site anyway.As for poverty status- what about allowing folks to prereg without paying, then pay at door- if they don't pay, just strike their name from the brackets. At least then if someone's a lucky dog it's random.
The problem there is the late registrant pool always ends up screwed up, usually due to not too many people entering. It would also give some incentive for a top player to not pre-register, as they now know they'll only get to play with other players who registered late (this, of course, stops working if multiple top players do this).how about putting all late registrations in one bracket? they should have a harder time than people who pre-register. noel brown not paying and still being able to enter is b.s.
