A tale of bears and breasts, eternally retold...

I'm sad sc5 didn't get a mention. It's kinda fun to play and watch and it feels more beginner friendly to me than tekken (or vf, like anyone plays that game) for getting into 3d fighters.

It's definitely easier to pick up than Tekken, I agree. But the big problem is, a lot of the Soul Calibur fanbase overlaps with the Tekken fanbase... and they generally prefer Tekken as a competitive game.

Distributing anything on XBL/PSN is a pain in the rear end, so PC was the easy choice.

It's a free, fan-made game. It's not gonna be on anything but PC ever.

Ah I stepped away for a minute so I missed it.

50 seconds went by in that match with only 1 character going under 75% health. This game needs to do more damage and regenerate more slowly :psyduck:

Characters need to move faster, more like.

Oh my god this game is loving hideous.

Does anyone know if they will be streaming anything else tonight or is it safe to leave the house? I am going to vomit if I have to watch another second of SFxT.

The top 3 of every game is being saved for last, so come back in a bit if you wanna see the other games.

Do people not like HD Remix or does it just not fit well in tournaments where ST is basically a given? I would seriously rather watch back to back HD Remix and ST matches if it meant there was no time left for SFxT.

No one likes HDR better than regular ST. Except maybe David Sirlin.

Usually a tournament like this would be played on arcade ST hardware, but Capcom's doing classic mode in HDR presumably to promote the game.

To clear this up:

HDR is a whole new game.

You can choose to play Classic/ST mode in the game, which is meant to just be ST, but it is based on the Dreamcast port of ST which has some minute differences from the arcade version. People generally prefer the real arcade version, but you take what you can get.

I can't read Damdai's mind, but I think the reason he picked O Ryu is because O Hawk has a really hard time getting in vs Dee Jay. O Ryu has one of (or is it the?) fastest fireballs in the game so he's pretty good at dealing with Dee Jay keepaway. He also has an air tatsu that becomes unblockable sometimes for some reason people don't really understand.

It's of dubious legality in the states too, but like betting on home poker games no one gives a gently caress here.

If you hate the way smash players operate maybe you should become active in the community and try to get it changed. Otherwise who gives a gently caress how they want to run their tournaments, let them do what they want.

Pretty much I think Smash could have a scene if they did tournaments as 2v2's with items. The game isn't built for 1v1 and having extra bodies lets the "random factor" swing a lot more dramatically. Trapped my ally in an infite? Cool I'll just bomb-omb all three of you.

Smash does have a scene Jesus Christ. I don't play smash but they seriously don't need or want any of you guys' suggestions and I still don't get why you give a gently caress.

It's annoying having to see a mentally ill dude in his yiff suit in between every match. I get that you can pass it off as "oh he's a mascot" but he's not an official mascot. He's a dude with a fetish getting his rocks off in public who gets away with it because people who are blissfully ignorant of furries just think, "Oh it's a mascot."

I don't think anyone really cares but you...

Today at 12PM PST Fanatiq and MegaManDS are running a special stream to help raise money for the Skullgirls breast cancer drive. From shoryuken

MegaManDS posted:

I convinced Fanatiq to do a donation drive TOMORROW (Monday) starting at 12pm until 9pm and I will be down there. We will be doing auctions/raffles/giveaways/signings/maybe special guests... etc

He will learn how to play, be doing commentary on previous matches and I will be showing him my (secret) tactics about the game. So, if you want to also tune in tomorrow and help with donating, please do. This will be on https://www.twitch.tv/mrfanatiq at 12pm PST

I like the thing that UFGT does, where how many people get paid out is a factor of how many people entered. It's like the top 10% get paid or something.

Are you (or any other goons) going to UFGT? I just registered, can't wait for Skullgirls, Mystery Game, and BaraBariBall aka GOTY of the year.

Just UFGT and Evo for me as far as I know. My first time at UFGT but I've heard it's great. Plus EVO is the bomb every year.

E: Also while we're on the subject I feel like I should alert goons that early bird registration for UFGT just opened yesterday. Register before March 11th to save $5, plus BaraBariBall and Mystery Game are both capped at 128 players and that will fill up FAST so anyone who's planning on going, register asap.

What does Pokemon styled sets mean?

Winner stays basically. So if your first team member never loses, the other team members don't have to play.

E: This is opposed to Waseda style, where if each team has members A, B, C, D, and E, the matches go:
A vs A
B vs B
C vs C
etc. until every player on one team has been eliminated.

drat, Green Ace making poo poo interesting! I have no idea why Ski seems to think NorCal is the favorite though; even putting aside that I'm biased towards NYC, I think most people would either bet on them or SoCal.

But still, what an upset!

NorCal was easily the favorite coming into this, having both the Evo2k12 champ and the 2k11 runner-up. The only other player to come close to Champ and PR Rog's success in this game is Chris G.
