Other tournaments are doing fine. Life goes on. People who like good games will keep playing good games (and there's a lot of those out right now).

I've watched a shitload of dbz and I could hardly distinguish some of the characters during some of the busier moments. I guess ramping to SS3 helps you stand out more but yeah there needs to be a little more going on there.

Future trunks shouldn't be SSJ and should use his sword for like 75% of his moves, and his super is basically the move that killed Frieza.

After seeing Evo numbers it looks like our genre is dying. Gonna go into the dark ages till dbz comes out and revives the scene. If dbz fails the only hope I see is riots hidden fighting game ip.

:tinfoil: riot is waiting for fg to die to release their game like they did with league which caused the moba burst after there was nothing for years.

I wouldnt be surprised if a huge chunk of that dropoff is Asian players thinking gently caress it ill wait for Evo Japan and save a lot on travel costs.

You have no idea how hyped I am for DBFZ. Part of why I'm trying to get good at GG is to prepare for being good at DBFZ.

Goku/Vegita/Gohan do seem to have a fair bit of overlap on moves but I'm assuming they are intended to be that way. Guessing once you really get into it, their differences will be much more obvious.

I can't find the tweet, but I believe someone at Arcsys said all of the characters they've shown so far have a very "orthodox" style, i.e. none of the characters with crazy mechanics/move lists have been shown yet.
