Mio Bison posted:These are my rules and they have served me well: But when you do something loving stupid over and over again its too hard not to yell out, SHITS PLUS THREE STOP TRYING TO MASH OUT(in casuals only). I still talk too much when not in matches though. General rules for how to ask questions. 1) Find someone who is doing good, bonus points if they play your character. 2) Don't wait for them to stop talking to ask questions. 3) If they get wayyy to detailed tell them, I know a guy that could probably go on a 2 hour lecture on the frame data/hitboxes of some of the characters he plays and how this effects a particular matchup, he has good info in their just don't let him get too bogged in the details. 4) Take everything they say with a grain of salt, but for now try out everything they are talking about and EXPERIMENT with it. I want to rant about some of the more loving awful things I have been told wrong/been deceived about when asked people questions after a match, but I'm sure everyone has experienced it before.

I can attest that he pretty much talks endlessly about his sweet grappler setups and lands approximately none of them because at the end of the day, he'll empty jump and churn butter. I just nod and smile because it's easier than 50-0ing him. I've found it quite odd that there's a legitimate set of social standards by which to operate when you're a part of the FGC. Then I realised the kinds of people I'm often around at said meets and it suddenly dawns on me: it's necessary. On one hand you can meet some genuinely good people, but on the other hand, you're exposed to everything your mother ever warned you about, and more. And seriously, shower. If you follow no other commandment in the FGC Bible then follow this one. You could be the nicest guy in the world, but if you smell like SFxT plays, I'm keeping a very wide berth.

Toilet.Duck posted:Since we are the opposite end of the country to the 'blads' everyone is pretty chill, theres usually a steady run of about 5-6 alternating people though it may quiet down with it nearly being out of term time. Again check neoempire/fightclub and see what's up. If you can make the trip we usually run from 12 til ~5 if that's worthwhile enough. The only problem is everyone is salty about literally every game, except maybe Marvel. Asking to play Super is going to get you some grief (despite the fact it's the one game we have HUGE events for, like 70+ turnouts) but it's never nasty, like some (read: some awful vocal minorities who really need to remember why we do this) of the London crowd can get. * - Except, sadly, me. Because I never have the time.

That said I only have met 3S people and seeing as they already like the best game they're probably better people on average.

Really looking forward to the console release of TT2 and especially happy about the inclusion of Kunimitsu even though she was probably one of the lower tier characters. I played the poo poo out of her in Tag and since then she's been dropped like a bad habit from every Tekken roster.

I just wanted to have a go at Blazblue The London scene is pretty cool and has a cool group of people but there's some really noticable bias towards the "famous" players, like when a whole tournament was put on hold because ~ryan hart~ wasn't there yet. The other main issue with it is that there's a lot of loving seedy outsider assholes who sneak into the venues and steal a bunch of your poo poo. Never lend out your poo poo at a london event and if you're bringing a setup be prepared to sit on it the entire day. EDIT: this isn't an issue with london scene specifically but more an issue with london itself being a place full of loving dicks who will rob you blind with no provocation given the chance

Top player bias isn't endemic just to London or even just one country. Hell, a few years ago we had a fairly large state tourney that was held up for over 2 hours because Justin Wong and Marn went to lunch and then the MALL right smack dab in the middle of brackets. No, they weren't DQed either. I also remember Final Round tournaments back in the days where 3rd Strike and MvC2 were the main event games where, at the very minimum, 90% of the DC converters provided by staff would be stolen every year until the BYOC rule was finally implemented.

Something that sounds amazing from this article, if this is old sorry. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/344004/20120522/tekken-tag-tournament-2-release-date.htm quote:A new mode will be introduced in "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" known as Fight Lab, which allows players to customize the moves and appearance of new training character Combot. so this game has isuka robo-ky, jun and kunimitsu, literally every single tekken character with a unique movelist that's ever happened AND free dlc. goty darealkooky fucked around with this message at 22:59 on May 22, 2012 |

I guess that's cool since I was one of the useless fucks who voted for Combat to be in Tekken X Street Fighter on their Facebook character poll.

I don't see why they couldn't give us MvC2 since its already on PSN/360 Market with (pretty lovely) online play supported. Obviously everyone wants to see an Online Edition of Alpha 2: Gold as well. I understand MvC2 not being there because its not an actual "street fighter" game. They still could have just tossed roms of Alpha Anthology and Anniversary Edition onto some discs and thrown those in as well (or download codes, since IIRC the PS1 versions of the Alphas are already on the PS download service). Also don't be surprised if there is a 25th anniversary Fightstick. Probably a TE or a version of the VS stick with different art. On one hand I kind of liked the old anniversary sticks Straight Six layout and American parts. On the other hand, its a pretty lovely stick and they actually want people to buy them this time around.
