Good deal or trap stick? Seems pretty drat good but I can't evaluate. It's basically the same price as the current q4's on eightarc only no shipping cost cause it's already in Australia (and Eightarc don't ship to Australia anyway)

That's about equal to what the current qanba q4's are going for retail without any shipping, just making sure that's not some poo poo tier edition or something because the price is ridiculously good considering imports going for 350-450.

It's definitely a good stick, I owned one of those for about 3 years and it never let me down once

Has there ever been a fighter that communicates frame data into its visual design either as a training mode option or in the actual gameplay? something like block sparks in different colors depending on how punishable or safe a move is?

Tekken Tag 2 has this, your character turns blue if they are in the middle of a move.

The Tekken thing is good, but I would still really like to just have frame data in-game in Tekken 7.

SG has a hitstun bar, realtime framedata calculator*, and visual framedata display.

*The NRS framedata readouts in Injustice/MK/etc were read from a database instead of calculated on the fly, so they ended up being outdated once patches hit and not compensating for things like land-cancelling an aerial move, etc.

Wait, Pokken shows how punishable things are by color? I know it shows colors based on what move types they are (throws are green, counter attacks are blue) but I'm very sure they don't have any info at all about frame data. That was one of my only complaints about the game.

Tekken fans, how do you feel about Pokken pulling twice the number of players compared to T7?

I think it's perfectly fine that a game that's available for people to play at home has more entrants than a game that isn't.

Namco and Harada painfully finetune Tekken games for console release, taking their sweet time so we can get an experience comparable to a late-cycle Capcom game: lots of content, all the wrinkles ironed out...and no one playing it at all.

The question should probably be "Pokken fans, how do you feel about your game only having twice as many players as a game that isn't actually out yet?" :v:

Considering that it's still a really decently high number of entrants on it's own, pretty good I guess?

I guess the comparison is weird to me, since Pokken doesn't really feel or seem like Tekken much so I don't really know if there's much player overlap outside of casual buyers.

The most overlap seems to be with Smash players, which I guess makes sense since it's a Wii U exclusive game, but it's still weird to me since it's much closer to a traditional fighting game than Smash. It's still weird to me to watch Pokken streams and hear the commentators drop Smash lingo like "friendlies" or whatever.

It's a bit of a silly comparison, yeah. I'm glad Pokken has players at all, it'll be nice to see it played at a high level.

I wish they'd just ban Melee and all the Melee players from Evo, though. :v:

I agree that smash sucks to watch, but it gets a shitload of entrants and a shitload of viewers. At some point you gotta give the people what they want.

p much every game at evo has some crossover appeal for people who dont play them. except smash which is like paint drying and having your nails pulled out and testicular torsion

At the last Evo I went to the crowd picked who to cheer for in Melee based on which one would cause the game to be over sooner, which turned out to be way more emotionally involving than any other reason to support a player would be.

I'm with you bro, I love fighting games, but I've played way more Melee and am way better at it than fighting games, but that doesn't stop me from owning every fighting game I can get my hands on. Also, as much as I love playing melee, it and all Smash games can be a real bore to watch. At least in regular fighting games, when someone's playing a lame style it only lasts 99 seconds at most. In Smash, it feels like playing lame is incentivized more than other games and the individual matches themselves can potentially take multiple minutes.

I obtained this title through beard tax.

smash is a fine game with some nice people in the scene but i would prefer if they didn't get added to big FGC events as there isn't enough time for FGs already at the ones I go to, at locals I think mixing everything is good for everyone though, just bigger events suffer when smash (and tekken in the uk apparently) are involved because they seem to consistently get aggravated about stream time while repeatedly lying about how long their section will take and over filling it with games then not caring about anyone else because the crossover is so small.
