Actually if he plays flawless Norcal would win. Waseda style.

A schinder flow chart, with a phoenix on it. I like it, I just would change the phoenix design though.
That bird looks fat.

I wonder if I can score an early copy of TTT2 since release dates don't exist around here...

Cute but pricey B Ape x Street fighter shirts for 25th anniversary.
Some of them are only available at TGS 2012.

It's gonna be Champ vs Combofiend to decide which side wins. So basically it's gonna be Norcal. If socal had Justin then it'd be closer.
The following round is even better, lol.
What about Infrit? He gave Champ a run for his money at EVO (sent him to losers and went to the last match on GF).
I mean, really. It shouldn't be Champ vs 5 killers or so from SoCal. It should be a group of greatest players from NorCal versus a team of the best from SoCal.
NorCal is basically getting carried here.

Well, post-EVO, Champ has pretty much downloaded Infrit.
Well, it's not like people can't learn and get better.
Champ is the best player right NOW. The UMVC3 scene would become boring as hell if he just kept on winning. And I believe there is a couple of the SoCal dudes that can at least make Champ sweat a little.
Looks almost exactly like Kineda's shirts.

how dare you have faith in SoCal
Hey, I much rather for the matches to be a lot more close than what it looks like right now. I'm not really rooting for any side.
All I really want is good gameplay and matches to come out of this exhibition.
More details on what we have planned for wnf & trb for the remainder of the year. Lots of prizes for both players and subscribers!

its hard to have faith in NorCal when all the players are a bit douchey with the exception of a few.

Glad to see TTT2 on the lineup for WNF. I'm getting hype for that game and want to see it played. I'll have to wait a little bit before I can get it though and it's been a while since I got into Tekken and other 3D fighters.

This is pretty much exactly how the Phoenix force is illustrated these days.
About damn time. Need a better picture of the design but it looks awesome, and fitting.that new viscant shirt is pretty sick
EDIT: Now they need to work on that Sou-Sou/SonicBoom shirt for Die.

Do you agree with James Chen's opinion on costumes in 3D fighting games?
I'd need to see the rest. It seems more like the lack of costumes (rather a standardized costume) is what muddles 3D fighters. 3D fighters tend to have more customizations and options while Ryu is always Ryu. Outside of alpha, SF characters dress the same across iterations as well which gives Ryu a kind of timeless appeal.
_/¯You see the character portraits during loading screen and you see the head portrait next to the life bars as well. For new players, its harder knowing that all 50 something characters exist lol.
As opposed to what they did with T6?

I would prefer that as well.
I got a kick of Optimus Prime Jack on Tekken Crash, but I'm not sure some of the other customizations would have gone over very well. Last time I watched VF, Ken Shun was pretty disconcerting.
That and ganguro Sakura are clear support for why it should be default costumes only. Damn eyesore, especially when they use the yellow color scheme on the Mexican stage.
Costume/cosmetic options are okay as long as the character is still visibly recognizable as a certain character. This complicates when clones are involved, etc.
Look at TF2 as an example, they put tons of care way back into making identifiable silhouettes, clear cut different designs and proportions etc. And characters are STILL recognizeable in-game even through maximized cosmetic bullshit. That is masterful design, but I realize that with legacy characters this may be tough. As long as I can see the headband or the blonde hair, it's fine.
Hit boxes are generally stupid already, but key points of the body that people use to estimate relative spacing should be clear and not obscured either.

I think he's talking about stream monsters. Most people have said with VF5 that it's better to learn the few basic moves first instead of all the moves in the beginning anyway.
Honestly, this is such a minuscule issue that I don't even know why I'm making another post about it, but it's interesting seeing him recommend an idea he thinks will help the Tekken community out just to receive such a negative response (not necessarily from the Tekken community, amusingly enough). Misguided or not, I can't help but feel bad for the guy. It's not even a big issue either. What if you enter a tournament that doesn't have custom costumes? I don't think anyone would complain. I don't think this has any drawbacks to it, so I don't understand the exaggerated responses I'm seeing on Twitter.
But then again, it's Twitter, and this is a non-issue.

dont care about costumes, some can be distracting but names under life bars enough
I think James Chen just saw this vid and went "Nope"

James Chen is getting fucking annoying, always talks about how he wants everybody to play all games but then most of his twitter posts are complaining about one thing another. With Persona it was "Oh it's so complicated, commentators really need to explain the game." and now with Tekken it's "If people use custom costumes it is gonna be too hard to identify characters and people won't want to watch."
He is so goddamn negative about anything that isn't a Capcom fighter, and it is such bullshit that he acts like he wants every game to do well.

They should put Cammy in every game that way Chen has a reason to learn it.

Thinks he should have been the one to kill Batman's parents.
Huh? He complains about Capcom fighters more than anything.
