There were supposed to be preorder bonuses only, but there were a lot of leftovers apparently, so a lot are packaged with them.

I don't really play Glacius, Sabrewulf or TJ Combo. I try playing everyone else a little bit.

IT'S SO FUCKING SICK AND JUST GETS BETTER FROM THERE OH MAN
Depending on the game of choice, a 1CC or whatever may not actually be a purely self-imposed challenge. If arcade games had NO external reinforcement for the mastery of their games then I wouldn't love the concept nearly as much.
Watch EVO and tell me that's not hype as hell to watch.
Either way, I don't think you should compare them. Completely different experiences.

I'm still miffed that they haven't discovered the utility of Mallow or Geno Boost action commands.
Also Pat missed the save point in Monstro Town.
I just ordered the regular version off Amazon.

While I do watch some MOBA tournaments, because I like competition, it's a lot less personal seeing a bunch of people, and matches take forever.
I've watched things like EVO and haven't found them really interesting to watch. In general I don't find competitive gaming interesting to watch but there are a few moments that are pretty cool.
Also play Dota 2

First prints of it on release had the stuff, it doesn't now.
You don't bring the wombo combo, a shame. I do the same except for glacius, spinal and thunder. but I make it a rule to go random on rank 1 players so I get them from time to time.
I do have to say that despite my disinterest, things like The International are popular as fuck so they have that going for them. Last year's prize pool was humongous. I don't mind supporting things like that financially.
Eh. I do like wombo combo, tho.
Is there that many games that reward you for a 1CC? I don't know much about the genre of shmups and the like, so I honestly don't know. I always see people talking about how they 1CC'd certain games, but I just assumed it was a personal goal. If the game rewards you with another difficulty level or at least some kind of congratulations, we acknowledge your effort then I could easily understand why people do it.

I've watched some of last years EVO and didn't really care. Like I said I value team play over 1v1 fighting, except quake 1v1 quake matches. Those are amazing

I think he means the original definition of 1CC, which involved being able to play the whole game for cheaper in an Arcade.

Man, Transistor's music is so wonderfully hypnotic. Nothing quite like getting drunk and listening to Ashley Barrett's amazing voice.

Controversial question:
What genre of games require the most...talent for competition play?
(For lack of a better word)

New avatar thanks to Beloved finding me an awesome image.
It actually makes me sad that wombo combo has been hijacked as a term by the moba community. We really don't have that much you guys. Just let us have this.
This is a wombo combo
This is not a wombo combo

Nah its super cute.
You should probably clean it if it really bothers you.
Mine kinda has it.

Only if you turn in your old 3DS right?
Starcraft. You need to know strategy super hard.

Do you mean skill ceiling or minimum required to be competitive?
Also depends on the definition of competition play.

Card games.
I'm being serious here
Adapting to your hand requires the most amount of skill.
The game of life.
But for a serious answer, it really depends. I'd say ones where you have to face a player or multiplayer games.

Like comparing chess to CS to Unreal Tornament to dota and Starcraft and LoL to poker.
I'm referring to skill ceiling.

MOBAs, followed by FPSs.
That'd make sense, but also you'd probably spend quite a bit money to get to that point so I'd never see the point. Now if you practice at home then take your skill to the arcade then sure. I'd feel pretty cool 1CCing a House of the Dead in an arcade setting since there'd be more pressure to do so.

But I opened the closet and all the shelves broke and shit fell!
USE THE MECHANIC THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY ANYONE PLAYED THAT GAME AND MOVE THE BROOM

I was in a competitive chess club in elementary school.
If there's a steam chess game I'd be down to play some.
I haven't played in years.

Skill ceiling eh? Ok. Well even still it's hard to compare different kinds of complexity.
For example, Poker has a heavy luck element, as well as T/CCGs, and a huge part of the game is played through charisma and mind games which is hard to quantify the complexity of.

Table top sim?
...OMG I'M SUCH A DUMBASS. Damnit Max!
I should google it. :|
i actually don't know cause I just read doujins of stuff i like.
Full disclosure: that's not what I meant. Like I see that as a valid reason but fuck me if I'll pull that off in an arcade environment. When I think of bullet hells I think to Touhou and CAVE games since those are the ones I was introduced to. Normally there is room for additional difficulty/a true final boss/an Extra stage/the good ending for 1CC'ing a game in those cases. I'd be so happy if Time Crisis 3 had something like that for playing through with the base four lives, but I already believe that that's not the case.

So should the testament of a talented "gamer" be how quickly these people know how to game a system?
Or develop strategy and execute on it with success? Or how well they perform their role on a team?
Sometimes I have the most stupid realiseations.
Like today I was talking talking to some girls, and one of them is talking about a boy she's intersted in. And she said really proudly that she managed to be on the same train wagon as him today. I found it really funny, because it seems like somthing I would say on this thread. And it was kind of a releaf that girls have to go through the same kind of things as we boys are.
