Chappelle references making me smile. Was watching interviews earlier today to console myself about the show's demise.

Best TV show ever.

There is not a single bad sketch on that show.

"Buck Nasty, what can I say about that suit that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan.. BOMBED OUT AND DEPLETED."
"SAMUEL L. JACKSON. IT'S MY BEER. YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL."
"Damn, this some good ass cheese. How come you didn't tell me how good the cheese was? MOTHERFUCKER"
"DA N***A TRIED TO KILL MY FAAAAATHA!"
"THE N***A BOUGHT ALUMINUM TUBES. Do I need to tell you.. what you can do with aluminum tubes? ALUMINUM."
"RED ROCKS, YE YEEEEEEEEEEE"
".................I'm shutting down the studio."
"What's Ness doing? Your taxes? Is that what's hot on the streets right now, your taxes?"

"Well who got the part? ...The Wayans brothers? ...the-there's more?!"

James Chen hates Tekken. Kinda.
Also making terrible comeback mechanic comparisons, and still championing SFxTK in the gameplay department despite admitting to it having so many gameplay flaws.

EDIT: And putting far too much weight on "how a game looks to play." Casuals don't give a fuck about how fun something looks at the tournament level. Plenty of people on GAF found SFxTK looking fun beforehand and still do. Two casual friends of mine IRL though the game looked fun from media and still do, they ended up buying it and love it. Way too strong of a correlation he's making. How fun it looks in media =/= how fun it looks to FGC and at the tourney level.

you know i always said there's a diamond in the mountain of crap that is sfxt. i can sort of see a good game. the movements are fun to watch. the animations are excellent. the implied storyline is interesting. the character interactions and stages and movesets and everything looks top notch.

unfortunately greed on capcom and sony's side marred what could have dethroned sf4 as the current 2.5D champ.

Since the arcade days Looks>Gameplay MK1 was able to compete with SF2 because it had blood, digitized graphics and fatalities not because it was a good game

I just saw the design of the TTT2 sticks...

I love me some Markman, but holy fuck those are THE ugliest stick art designs I've ever seen. :/

Yep pretty much.

Although I don't agree it could have dethroned sf4. 2v2 is such a game killer for me. Not sure where everybody else stands, but the purity of 1v1 will always be a draw for me.

I like me some tekken for instance, but I'll be passing on TT2.

I agree with you, but that doesn't say much really. SFxTK is just the embodiment of great ideas, bad execution in fighting games.

I really, really want them to adapt the gem system into the next SF or Alpha or something.

TBH I'm more excited to see the next Capcom game not because of which game it's going to be, but more to see if they've changed or adapted their business model in a post SFxTK world. Capcom has changed their approaches quite a bit since the beginning of this gen, and experimented a lot with their business models. Now embarrassment after embarassment, a public apology, a promise for change, sales of all their games slipping considerably, I want to see how they calculate their next move.

Team SoCal:

Combofiend
LXG Infrit
AGE Fanatiq
BT Clockw0rk
AGE Knives
KillerKai
949 Wentinel
YTwoJay

EDIT: BUT I HAVE SPONSORS

James Chen thinks that Persona is way more complicated than it actually is. "Every character has a sub-system you need to learn." Wut.
Also, lol @ him saying he doesn't get asked much for how to learn KoF and Persona. Well obviously, you mainly focus on Capcom games.
 
Wentinel is a weird pick since he kind of said he was sick of Marvel after EVO.

His steam kind of ran out..... right before EVO. Ytwojay is okay in my book since he made it to top 8 at EVO, but lets be honest he got kind of lucky.

Yeah those are the two picks I'm... iffy with. They're both great players but ehh.. I don't know man.

Wentinel's like a wildcard. When he has his good days he has REALLY good days.

Looks like they didn't add San Diego as part of Socal. Wanted to see some Schneider action.

It's a solid pick not only because Y2J is a consistent player but because of the Wolverine factor. Wolverine start of the round gives even Viper some trouble and of course Wolverine is a solid pick against Vergil too.

You know, if Champ wasn't on the Norcal list this would be pretty free.

Pretty excited about the event but I didn't really like the trailer. It's like they used every font that they could find.

EDIT: damn people posting Kello naked pics . that aint right.
 
I'll be shocked if NorCal wins.

I wouldn't. It's elimination, sooooo unless someone manages to take out FChamp then they should have it in the bag.

and hopefully KBeast is having one of those good days.

Agreed.


Can you explain the format?

I thought it was just round robin.
They do 1v1 2 out of 3, winner stays on the team but goes to the back of the line. I forgot the name of it, and James Chen just said it. D:
