For Tekken 7 has the FGC decided on which version is going to be the "competitive" version? Or are they going to be doing PC and PS4 interplay so it doesn't really matter

The character selection seems pretty varied and the matches have sane rules so games go by at a much faster pace

I think the only thing I don't like about pro Smash 4 is 2 stock sometimes makes matches go a little too quickly but that's my opinion as someone who plays a lot of that game as well. 3stock is just more fun imo

Pokkén would be the worst outcome because it's existence is a joke

Also from the time I went to bed to the time I just woke up it went up about 3k with 26 more donators, an average of $115 per donator

Tatsunoku vs Capcom seems like an alright game, was it ever very popular in the FGC

i remember TvC having a character with a move that if you got hit by it, was basically a ranged throw because it couldn't be blocked and you couldn't hit it with another projectile to cancel it

the gently caress does this actually mean

some dude had a move you could spam that would shoot a projectile at you, and if it hit then you got yanked to him and he did a throw.

I'm guessing he's talking about tekkaman blade's grappling hook move, but that's blockable.

Is it story time? I think it's story time

Does the name "alias777" ring a bell? Well if not, you'll become familiar with it soon enough. So in PGS there is a thread for a CS:GO inhouse server name "sub.io". It's open for any goon to join, and the skill level is generally "Master Guardian II" (think Gold/Platinum Level in League of Legends, I'm not sure of a fighting game comparison) but all skill levels are allowed to join. We have some hilariously bad people (me) and some really really good people (not quite good enough to go pro but we had a group of guys almost get into the semi-pro leagues not to long ago). Most people are cool to play with and there's a lot of history because, just like Counter Strike, the server has gone through many iterations and other goon communities. We're always open to new people joining and we get a plucky new lad in every so often but there is a pretty set group of regulars.

So one day, a guy named "Mr. Pink" joins the server. And he's bad. Like, really bad. He spends a majority of his first game on the server rushing a spot on the map named "Banana" with bad weapons for doing such a thing. The results of this match are chronicled here. Yes, you need to watch it. Don't worry, I'll wait.

All done? Great.
The general rule is don't be a complete shithead and you'll be fine. Mr. Pink was a complete shithead to Turk, his fellow B Site player, and also one of the server admins. So he gets banned for that. He came in to the thread to plead his case (I think his excuse was he was drunk or something, I can't be assed to go find the initial posting). He promises that next time he'll be better, he'll listen and actively try to improve. Get used to that line right there. we sure did.

Frequently he makes horrible plays. He gets known for "fast smoke plants". You can see an example of this here. Again, required viewing material. Here, he throws a smoke grenade, plants inside of it asap, and then fails to realize that a CT is also in the smoke, defusing the bomb he just planted. He gets asked to stop this behavior across several days, he does it in front of an admin that told him to stop a week ago, acts like a shithead, got banned again. Comes in to thread, begs for a second chance, promises that he's been improving during his time off with the ban, and he won't smoke plant anymore he promises.

Time passes. Some other poo poo happens with some other goons causing drama. One thing remains: Mr. Pink is an unchanging shithead. He gets banned again. Time passes, we hold a tournament! There's a special condition: A team with Mr. Pink on it is formed, under the condition that if they win the tournament he stays unbanned, forever. It was a solid 4 man roster with Pink duct taped to it, but a team of the Old Guard (dudes who have been playin CS since I was in diapers, literally) destroys the entire tournament, winning the meager prize (some lovely skins I uncased the week before) and Mr. Pink remained banned. Until about a month later, when he came into the thread, said that he had improved greatly and asked for....wait for it....a second chance. He gets it because Turk isn't around to yell at everyone else about how he's never coming back. It's at this time when user "Demostrs" (referred to as Demo from here on out) is going to be taking a trip to Chicago, where many CS:GOONS are based, including the notorious Mr. Pink himself. To facilitate communication, Demo and Mr. Pink added eachother on Snapchat. Now throughout this time, Mr. Pink has been very careful about not sharing his personal info with anyone. The only other person he had shared it with was a goon named "garfu", a goon who he had met up with a while before this. He never bothered to look into him. Demo and Mr. Pink go and hangout in Chicago and if memory serves they had an alright time.

A little more time passes, and Dorky(Dork457) starts running joke tryouts for his team "Dorknytas". The first round of tryouts is a drawing competition. User Sleppy wants to do a picture of Mr. Pink, so he tries to get him to send a face pic. Sleppy gets his Snapchat (and maybe the face pic? One of life's greatest mysteries) and by proxy his real name. Sleppy starts digging, and that's where my story ends and his story begins.

There's a lot of videos in the end of that post, all of them are required viewing material. Yes, even the 28 minutes one, and especially the hour long one.

I'm pretty down on Sigma being DLC and whatnot but they showed no gameplay, just a cinematic trailer. Why is everyone determined to poo poo on the game as if they've had hands on time with it?

Hopelessly naive or w/e but I think it's kinda stupid to doomsay over a story trailer that was actually kinda neat.

Because we have nearly as many dlc characters as we have announced, in the game characters. It's not a matter of making GBS threads on the game, it's a matter of making GBS threads on a company's awful business practices and the game that is being ruined as a byproduct of those practices

It was cool and funny (in an entertaining way) to me. But I also like big stages and thoroughly enjoy events like IEM Katowice and Dreamhack. Both are good imo.

One is more entertaining to watch than the other. The reason people like to watch cs_summit style events is become of the 'home' feel of it. It feels more authentic and real, like it's just dudes playing games with each other. It's why poo poo like the original DotA hubs and StarCraft homestory cup are some of the most fondly remembered events, because you can relate to those dudes who are all chillin around a house playing games with friends because that's what you do. When they're up on stage on live broadcast with scheduled trash talk time, there's an element removed; Yeah, it's still functionally the same but at the end of the day one event is infinitely more relatable then the other

I've never been able to get into a Tekken game, but drat it, T7 looks pretty cool.

Is stick required for Tekken or can you play it okay on a regular pad? Also, is there going to be cross-platform play?

A lot of high level players play on pad, play with what makes you feel comfortable.

There will be no cross platform play
