That stick is great. It's all cobbled together from mostly random poo poo but that's the charm - the cheesy video card box art brings it home. Bonus points if it's a comfortable, responsive stick!Gootecks posted:You need a mindset shift that proves to you that the game is not about killing the other guy, it’s about keeping yourself alive. You may not have really thought about it before, but you must know that when the timer runs from 99 to 0, whoever has the most life left at the end of that period is the winner. Yes that sounds obvious, but think about that for a moment. You don’t actually have to BEAT the other guy, you just have to prevent him from beating YOU. Quoting this for truth. The concept of a fighting game (more life = you win) is simple. I actually think it's a good exercise while playing to think to myself "How can I place myself into a situation where I have the best chance to gain/hold a life lead?" Of course you can't seriously ask yourself that question 5 times a second as you play - it has to eventually become a natural part of your thought process. And that comes with practice, with experience.

Uznare posted:Check out orochinagi.com for all your KoF needs regardless what you're looking for is here I love that video, it's very clear and easy to follow (though I don't play KOF at all enough to benefit from it). Are there videos like that for other fighter series? I'm only really playing Blazblue at the moment, but learning about the mechanics of fighting games is fascinating, even if I don't play them.

I think he has been making more than fine enough of a living from fighting games, considering he quit his job in like early 2009 and hasn't gone back. I know there was some drama involved in this but no details have come out of it.

No, story is that Skisonic kept saying poo poo about him being high on stream during FR and it made its way back to the sponsors and welp.

I can't argue that I have a credible source or anything, but it's pretty obvious if you watched the Cross Counter episode that this is not a careful, thoughtful decision on Ryan's part. He doesn't really have a politically correct explanation prepared so he stumbles through some made-up poo poo about moving on to other things, and then has an unusually angry "gently caress you" to unnamed individuals. You can believe that it's Skisonic's fault or not, but some poo poo clearly went down that precipitated this.

dangerdoom volvo posted:If youre gonna bust fighting game players for being high you might as well shut the whole thing down. james chen and ultradavid sitting in front of two mics... commenting on nothing... Welcome to e-sports. You can't show up to tournaments hosed up if you are a sponsored professional without running into trouble with your sponsor. This seems nutty to us, because historically lots of people are high/drunk at FG tournaments. However, this kind of thing comes with the turf of the BIG ESPORTS $$$$$$$. He should have known better. Also, I think it is disgusting that people are going after skisonic as a "snitch." In our little world, and as crazy as it sounds, skisonic is a journalist. That's what he is supposed to do. I say this as someone who doesn't really enjoy skisonic's shows or commentary all that much. 40 OZ fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 30, 2012 |

Pretty sure it's got more to do with the fact that getting in trouble for smoking pot is about the most petty childish poo poo ever. Thus, if it's Skisonic's fault that Gootex got in trouble for smooking pot skisonic is a petty childish gently caress. I don't like Gootex or smoke pot and this is really obvious to me.

NecroMonster posted:Pretty sure it's got more to do with the fact that getting in trouble for smoking pot is about the most petty childish poo poo ever. That's the most absurd logic I've ever seen. If you are being paid to represent a company in a particular enviroment, show up high, and decide to make a public appearance, you're probably getting fired. Blaming people who saw it and talked about it, acting as if they were responsible for the whole thing, is pretty dumb. You can't take a whole lot of money from someone that expects you to act in a certain way, fail to act the part, and blame people who pointed it out. This, of course, is assuming that there's any truth to the whole thing to begin with, which as far as I know may not be the case at all.

I haven't been following the FGC since SFxT was released. I suppose that he may have exposed this somewhere other than one of his podcasts, which would take this out of the realm of journalism, I guess.NecroMonster posted:Pretty sure it's got more to do with the fact that getting in trouble for smoking pot is about the most petty childish poo poo ever. However, you are still aggressively retarded. He isn't in trouble with the police, jesus, tom cannon, or his mom. Mr. Gootecks is a sponsored, professional video game player, and he showed up to a video game tournament high on drugs. Do you not see why his sponsor might get upset about that? I'm not seeing the debate here. You or I are free to get high as a motherfucker at a tournament. A sponsored player is not. Can you figure out why? *obviously this is based on speculation from what I have gleaned from this thread, i'm open to the possibility this stuff had nothing to do with weed or whatever

Assuming the rumors are true for a minute, who the hell is Not DarryH and why would Complexity listen to him about anything he goddam says? Who the gently caress goes to a players sponsor and tattles on them for anything? Further more if you're a sponsor, who the gently caress takes someones random word for it that one of your sponsored players is high and then fires them over it? I get that this is the FGC but this sounds more like elementary school than esports and this all sounds like one huge stupid game of telephone.

There is nothing true to the rumours. Complexity doesn't even own crosscounter, so all they could have done is kick him out of their team. You can't fire someone from their own company. https://twitter.com/#!/compLexityLive/status/185087951686991872

I'm trying to find the video from Winter Brawl this year where D'Nyce accidentally admits to being high as gently caress while commentating and the funny banter that ensues, but no dice. After going to a bunch of these things, and being in a lot of different hotel rooms, I'm gonna have to side with Gootecks on this one. Busting FG players for smoking weed? This is like banning pitchers of beer from the bowling alley. edit: Never mind the fact that's he's a drat Cali citizen and probably is committing no crime at all.

Gootecks has a gigglefit during commentary with UltraDavid and because UltraDavid is so completely not funny the only logical conclusion is that Gootecks must be totally baked on marijuana. Ya I guess that makes sense.
