Almost half of the top 20 SF4AE players are former/current Guilty Gear players

And Itabashi and Fudo. Of course exceptions exist to every rule but still they are very rare compared to players switching between 2D games with no problem.

Totally irrelevant, because this thread makes it clear. GUILTY GEAR, not talent, got them to where they are today.

So what does stellar spire eagle nebula have to do with this? I am quite sure I am missing some in joke somewhere.

what does this tell you?

GG players are just bored

Almost half of the top 20 GG players are former/current SF2 players

Shit, see what I did there? Stated a true, meaning less fact. Jee whillikers!

Which ones of them played those games before GG? I would really like to know.
(Other than Daigo MDR and Kindevu that is)

1st of all your “fact” isn’t true and you can’t back it up.
2nd, you may see this as a meaningless fun fact but I think it says a lot about the SF4 player base in Japan, and how much experience (measured in YEARS) is important for success in the genre. And also that SF4 may seem like child’s play after playing an unforgiving game such as GG against its deadliest players on earth.
It’s like that article on defense (by Maj? I don’t remember) that was published on the front page 2 years ago. Not blocking an overhead or not teching a throw is like “whatever” in SF4… But in other games it gets you killed.

Also some people seem to get really bitter over a “fun fact” thread for some reason.

Other than Daigo and Kindevu, the rest are still playing GG at tournaments. I guess the only difference is that they don’t need to level up their game anymore in casuals so they fuck around with other games.

Haitani - 3S
Kyabetsu - KOF98
Iyo - CVS2
RF - KOF2002UM
MichaelTan - 3S
Mago - CVS2
Kindevu - CVS2
Kazunoko = Inoue - CVS2

tbh, I was expecting way more 3S players than I initially predicted. The number of CVS2 players doesn’t surprise me at all though.

I thought you were talking about the GG players. Even still, the numbers for GG are greater than for any of the other games, which is why I opened the thread in the 1st place since I found this unusual.

I think the one message we can all take from this discussion is that BlazBlue sucks.

well to be honest I don’t know why these GG players actually care to touch that abomination that is SFIV in the first place. I think they just want to be in the spotlight since GG was the most played 2D fighter before SFIV??!! and they want the fame of SF for themselves now?? I dunno how popular SFIV really is in japan though. Isn’t BB the most played 2D fighter right now!? so BB suck so much ass that GG players just don’t care?! or is it just that SFIV is so easy to get into that for TOP GG players is like a walk in the park to win in that game!!??

one thing is for certain

Companies are fucking up fighting games

So many things are wrong with what you just said that it is impossible to not see it for yourself without reading it a second time.

This.

2 rukawa_kaede. You trolling so hard. Well I’ll help you.

yAWN.

The number of known GG players who play BB is a lot bigger.
Dio, Buppa, Nezu, Satoshi, Minami, Shounen, 0, Tsujikawa, kubo, shadow, fumo, akira, Kaqn, Zakiyama, Koichi, Die-chan, BLEED, HH and I’m sure I’m forgetting some more who tried CT and CS, got pissed at some point and quit. (Not that you can blame them. CS2 is a huge improvement)

What engine changes did they make on CS2 anyway?

A lot of minor tweaks that add up to make the game more aggressive and corner based. They also changed all the characters and the cast feels way more balanced and fair now.

Isn’t Makoto running a train these days? Just a random question from an outsider to BB.

Cvs2 is such a food game and is still hype in Japan. They may as well call this game ssf4 Chinese edition…

No it’s more like she’s the tier whores’ character of choice now. So you’ll see more good makotos than good insert other chars.
But she doesn’t really dominate. There are 4 Makotos in the top 20 but also 3 Litchis for example which is a C tier character.

Char count for SBO so far (a 1v1! no free rides for team mates!)
Makoto 2
Lambda 2
Litchi 1
Taokaka 1
Jin 1
Tsubaki 1
Noel 1
