il play slash if you guys play mcv1, street fighter alpha 2, street fighter 3 second impact, SF2 champion exetera. lets have out dated games evo.
i guess i don’t really care what version is used. supposedly my character got shitted on in accent core
My post got deleted, so Round 2.
Pick: Accent Core.
Reason: I don’t want to overheat in a corner anymore for blocking correctly.
But mainly after AC comes out on PS2, I will have absolutely no desire to ever play Slash again.
Going to: West and Finals/World.
While it is true that Chicago has had access to AC for a little bit now, most of us have only played it one day. We went out there to play it about a month ago and havn’t since, but we WILL be ready by the time EVO comes around so it doesn’t really matter. We havn’t really been playing that much Slash either lately, our interest has dwindled since trying out AC and a lot of us have just been busy with other aspects of our lives lately.
p.s. marn is a scrub
I fucking love your avatar
Copying Stormlocke’s post somewhat…
Pick: Accent Core.
Reason: I want to actually do damage with Millia from anywhere on the screen now instead of camping for a shot at a corner spot and risk dying in one combo while I only do a grand total of 15% damage to you if I successfully risk my ass and get a hit in midscreen.
Besides, I have no interest in playing Slash whatsoever right now and I have no interest in entering the Guilty Gear tourney at Evo if it’s still Slash. If it’s AC, then yes, I will enter the tournament…
Going to: Evo West and Vegas.
so does nickel city have accent core in chicago or personally owned? if not, is amar gonna get a board?
Amar is probably not gonna get a board, as AC is coming out on console soon, lol.
Our AC is personally owned by a friend, and if need be, he might just lend it to Nickel City for a big tournament.
From what I hear, you guys weren’t even his friends or even heard of the dude until you guys found out he had an AC board. Truth? Chicago is harsh. =|
THAT guy Marn (12:44:13 PM): you guys bought that shieet?
Censored screenname for censory purposes (12:46:13 PM): somebody else did…somebody we didn’t even know until 2 weeks ago
I’m going to the Evo Finals. As soon as it comes out for PS2 AC will be the new GG standard in America, it seems strange to hold such a major tournament for the outdated version only. Beyond that, AC is far more fun and technical and crazy and everythingthat’sgreataboutguiltygear than Slash.
Uhh, my original post got deleted too. So far I’ve only heard AC voters saying their posts getting deleted. Is this happening to Slash supporters too? If not, then some not-cool shit is going down. 4 srs.
Ok I notice one big trend from most of the AC supporters and it’s usually with this kind of response:
“My Character can do_____________ in Accent Core and I can’t do it in slash”
Pretty selfish reasoning if you ask me.My reason like Ukyo said is more about the community not looking like a joke and for once Evo staff not being ghetto about how to approach gg. So seriously for once stop thinking about yourself and think about the community at large. and WHO GIVES A SHIT what the japanese think. All the japanese are going to do is come here, Laugh at us for our lack of skill. and walk away with some money. Seriously, Stop using so much spit when you suck these guys cocks and for once start thinking about whats good for EVO not for the japs.
I never once said that the Japs wanted this or any of that nature in this whole thread. Who is riding the dude’s cocks? All I hear is people wanting this game because it’s newer and some random change… Where is the dude who is like I WANT ACCENT CORE SO THE JAPS CAN BE HAPPY AND RAPE US? I think you’re just assuming we’re on the Japs nuts, when all we want is the newer version of a game…
the japanese are more then happy to help you out and give pointers (you just have to work around the language barrier)
talking to mint and ruu was really helpful, even if i got my ass handed to me.
People will be excited to play a game, if there character was rebuffed, but people will also play even if thats not the case, why? Just ask them. Ill still play slash at home, just to work on my execution, but when it comes game time, im all in for playing AC.
AC should at Evo, because the community should progress along with the game, and this seems the best step to take.
lol? what are you talking about? just because i didn’t play sol in slash doesn’t mean my vote is invalid because i think slash is a shitty game. so my reason has to be “well, it’s better for the community to play this older version, even though we’ll have the brand new shiny version available for 2 months before the main event. and all serious players will have this game within a week of it’s release. but hey, ky corner pressure ftw.”
hell i’m gonna go play mvc2 or some other shitty game that doesn’t have a brand new version every year.
and man, if a new version of SF came out 2 months before evo, you better fucking believe that if it was popular it’d be at evo without a QUESTION. gg gets shit on because it’s not a main crowd puller and it’s obscure in the us. and because it’s the only game in their line-up that changes every year.
i can’t even imagine if EVO had 3 new games every year. wizard’s head would explode into a thousand mcribs.
No doubt. I didn’t/don’t want to start a trend. Personally I was just being honest, while simultaneously laughing at the sheer absurdity of the character I played in Slash. If Robot didn’t have any invincibility on his SRK, had terrible normals, and was generally just atrocious, I’d still play him.
Oh wait… he had all that, and I still wanted Slash @ EVO last year.
Don’t let the scene become stagnant. Having Slash this year at EVO will suck the collective excitement out of the event. Come the first week of June, when everyone is testing out new shit and messing around, we’ll see how amped everyone is to play Slash.
Dude I never implicated YOU saying that but when ppl say this :
while that post is only one persons opinion(and this was the only post that wasnt deleted that shared that sentiment so don’t think I’m calling you out og poster) this is what is imho wrong with gg comunity in general. We’ve been doing this since since XX. accomodating the japanese. telling them how they’re so awesome. watch them ream us a new asshole. then come back next year with a new game not to mention facing the same defecit WE ALWAYS have to face. and this year will be no different. Why are we making such impossible odds for ourselves? having AC means we’ll be faced with yet another time deficit (this time it’s 6 months) and with the same disadvantages of smaller player base (like 10,000 player base to our what…200?!) the odds are horribly in their favor…AGAIN. besides ppl should acting like the japanese all of a sudden can’t play slash again. like Cblue posted they came back to XX and did just fine.
or how about when someone says this:
This is another thing thats insane about this whole debate. I saw this reasoning at DL last time this topic came up(back when this debate had weight to it). and like I said last time…if you believe you can get to a competent level at Ac from 5/31 to evo world then you are insane…and more and likely scrubby.like I posted last time on DL in 3 months you’re going to get a feel for only your character and the character your friends play. So if AC is held at evo EXPECT random results.
Think Fast…how many Ky’s won majors since Slash came out???oh yea just one.
Wrong again… sort of. AE came out appox 2 months before 2k4. but superguns were still used.
Stormlocke: I kinda figured you was…but I took note how everyone became a lemming as if they had a opening…
Lastly before anyone tries call me out as some sort of AC hater. Please know that A. I love AC and think it’s fun and better than slash. And B. My main just got beefed up to gdlk status. But there is just WAAAAY TOO MUCH money to be won from this. EVo is no longer a mom and pop tournament. This is big money we’re talking here. Let’s keep that in mind please??
When have we ever had consistent results for GG at Evo? And really, when has anybody in the US ever had extensive exposure to every character anyhow? So it’s not like anybody is any worse off than usual.
This is the only argument against AC that I think is remotely valid- the fact that there’s a ton of money riding on this and we’ve already had qualifiers for Slash. BUT all the strong GG regions (Chicago/MW, TX, EC, WC) have access to AC and have had it for at least a few months now; and the Evo South qualifiers have all shown support for AC (haven’t heard about the other qualifiers’ responses yet)… so it’s not like the people who have the best shot of doing well aren’t already playing the game, nor has there been an outcry from the people who qualified (or the people who got beat by the qualifiers)
In reality, most of the people who are in serious contention to make money at Evo Finals are already playing AC, or have access to it, or at least have played it for a good amount of time and know what to be working on once the console release hits.
SBO quals are in a month and that’ll be a good chance to get exposure against people outside your region. Hopefully that doesn’t turn out to be a debacle like Showdown =( but yeah, it should be a good way to gauge how far along at least some US scenes are coming along.
In reality one cabinet up at TGA, is hardly representative of exposure to the EC for AC, I’d say 98% of the EC has yet to try the game even, especially considering how fucking out there TGA is.
But whatever, 30 days away.

ah… milla did hella damage in slash… so not sure what your talking about…
