Fighting Games

Yatagarasu?

SF3 nostalgia=activated.

In that case, get it and join me for a couple of games. It feels pretty good offline, I'm just curious how good the online is.

I'm so broke right now that I cant even afford to fix my desktop computer, so I'll have to decline. I really want to get that game though, since having 2 fighting games will give me enough of a reason to get a 360 controller for my comp.

Since SEGA are our new overlords I might as well notify you all about their SEGA cup event featuring Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

Big news!
I can now do DP FADC ultra semi-consistently with Ryu in SF4.
EVO here I come.

gonna see some ume shoryu?

Oh yeah 6:14 and 8:15 plz


..not the most valid video for Ume Shoryus considering Gamerbee baited like six of them before one actually happened, but those matches are so good that nobody cares.

edit:
also more Umehara and some Valle in the same video.

Valle vs Daigo at SCR 2010 was amazing as well.

I remember back in the noob'n days when I started playing, and 60% of my opponents played Ken and did the dragonpunch-ulti link that you could do by spamming quarters+all punch iirc. Bad, bad, bad baaad times were had by all.

I don't think you can link any of Kens DPs to ultra anymore unless you FADC them(and then getting the cinematic is like a one frame link), so at least that's better.

Speaking of which:

Civil War 5 is also on this weekend. On Spooky's channel as per usual, next week it's NCR.

hmmm Abel buffs

Juicebox

..speaking of Juicebox, the video he and Renic did on KOF13 made me want to try that game. Sadly there's absolutely nobody here that plays it qq

It's a great game, but the netcode is ass. Only worth playing locally and that's the same problem here too.

Injustice is officially more fun than MK9 ever was.

I'd have to get it when I get my 360 back.

also SFxT 2013 is out tomorrow on PC !

Norcal Regionals 2013 is on this weekend. Here's the tentative stream schedule:

So it's intrigued me how in the RTS genre if you want competition the only games are Blizzard games yet in the fighting game genre you have way more games from different developers.

Is it an issue with RTS devs or an issue with the people who play RTS games? It's something I've pondered for a while and I am beginning to believe it's the latter.

So I spent a lot of time researching what those guys did to give their scene an internet presence. By and large their online play is not fit for competition, they still need offline events for competition and they have a lot of them. Two of the biggest weeklies are NLBC and WNF but there are loads all around the US and there was also Winner Stays On which was doing well until the venue got closed down which was a shame.

Compared to RTS where the online play is fit for competition but the barometer is the auto match ladder and there are only tournaments every quarter. So I am thinking about hosting weeklies for CoH at least and maybe other games.

For a long time I've wanted to do an EVO like event for RTS games but it's been exceptionally hard to get the different communities to work together, people also don't like that a scene filled with "button mashing" games managed to make a success of what they had with little to no developer support.
