I've seen you say several times that Capcom introduced RFC to help ease of execution for Ultras.

I would like to see a quote or something alluding to this because from everything I've seen RFC was implemented to open up new combo possibilities. Namely giving the charge characters a way to land their ultras and the grapplers. Nothing to do with execution.

99% sure it was a Saikyo blog update or Ayano interview where he stated delayed wakeup was the mechanic for advanced players, while RFC was in place (in part- you're absolutely correct about it also helping charge/grapple characters) as a mechanic less experienced ones could use.

I remember it because I thought at the time "Oh, that's me!" - as when I tried out the USF4 fan-made PC patch, I was able to actually use Ultras outside of wake-up/neutral since I didn't have to FADC into them.

And as I was about to post did one last search- here you go: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/15/capcom-says-ultra-street-fighter-ivs-red-focus-meant-casual-players/

Damn. I would get salty, but not to the point where I want to break things.

Anyone know of any JP speaking folks going to TFC? Nemo wanted to see if there were folks that could help pepeday out as he has zero English ability.

I was worried that this might happen.

Always the case. Nemo asked me for WCW but he got lucky because there was a JP player there and they hung out, lol. Nemo is being the senpai right now for the JP folks though, lol.

I think Xian might be going. How his Japanese?

Damn, that sounds worse than what Aquapazza was at launch in the US. D: At least I could get games online for a couple of months in that.

I thought that was Zhi that speaks? He's usually not too far behind Xian.

Oof, maybe I won't pick it up this week.

 

[Kumubou]

Apparently, one of the issues with AH3:LM is that the JP and US versions of AH3:LM can't play each other online? So all of the longtime players that imported the game can't play anyone using the US version, which isn't helping matters. Sounds like a really dumb oversight, if true.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

This is a joke right?
Japanese gamers can't be that bonkers...

Japanese people are only human, man. They aren't all zen masters or anything.

The ps3 port of tales of vespers led to some good ass salt pics.

Wasn't there a guy who set his costume on fire on stream when he learned Daigo lost to Choi at EVO? good times

In all honesty I don't see how that's any different than burning your football shirt when you find out your team lost.

Oh word. Though I've never done that or anything like that.

Really? I've never heard of a game behaving like that before, intentionally or unintentionally. Sucks :/

 

[Shouta]

Looks like LordKnight is willing to help out if he goes to TFC. Woo! Awesome. =)

 

[Zissou]

If I want to dip my toes into persona, is there a concise video or something that can teach me some basics in like an hour?

It's a pretty common thing in east Asia, especially Japan and Korea. buying a particular person or companies merch then destroying it on the internet to show how much you hate it....

Most

all

of it is just for click bait attention though. These pop up every time a major game or product is released. Same way people put up videos of them smashing iphones on release day and shit.

i spent an ungodly amount of time on what noun subtitle to add to street fighter 3 if somehow capcom decides to update it

we have sf3: 2nd impact, sf3: third strike.

what about sf3: 4th blunt trauma? sf3: 4th attack? sf3: 4th collision?

Spooky did a video on Maid Cafes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sffEBDO9oVU&feature=youtu.be

He said it's pretty shady and can get scary if you are not aware of what is happening to you (locked elevators , over charges on your CC etc).

Shouta can you clarify this?

I'm not Shouta, but I went to... more than I want to admit when I was in Japan. I could see it, honestly -- they're effectively hostess clubs for nerds (or fetish clubs, depending on where you end up going). I can say I didn't have any problems with any of the places I went to; all of my money was given up willingly. I would definitely pay in cash, though -- most places in Japan don't take credit cards to begin with (although some more tourist-oriented places do now), so a random maid cafe doing that is definitely suspect.

I should of been more clearer. He was pointing out the shady ones as he was walking. He talks about some not letting you leave till you spent a certain amount

Most (if not all?) of the ones I went to had a minimum cover of some kind, but it was clearly posted (in Japanese, anyway). I could see how trying to leave before meeting that could be a problem, but I can tell you I was never shaken down for all of my yencoins by a maid or an accomplice thereof. (Which is why the probably leave the muscle to the guys -- I could see people paying good money to get roughed up by a bunch of maids.)

Hah, the one he points out at 4:04 is the aforementioned vampire loli catgirl chinadress maid bar I talked about earlier. He needs that Google Glass tech. for videos like this.
