Holy crap the rumours were true? He’s mine, stay back!

Sounds like they could use him for Injustice 2 as well.

Edit: if they get Keith David to voice Spawn again, my orgasms will not be contained. I’m guessing he will since he voices the character again in the upcoming cartoon.

Spawn has more powers than Superman…plus guns, so it’ll be really neat to see what they come up with for his variations. His cape is gonna look so cool in this game.

Meh, SF4.

Going for GG and anything else really.

I’ll be playing gg with dan and anyone else willing to play.

Where is the info for this tourny, I need to know if I need to book the night off work or not.

I’ll be there!!! What time do you usually start? 6? 7?

ya man people usually start showing up around six.

Wasn’t Spawn in Soul Calibur 2 for Xbox already?

Seems like a good fit for MK, but I kinda wish they put someone who’s never been in a fighting game before, like they did with Freddy Krueger in MK9

Yeah, but that wasn’t really ‘Spawn’ IMO. Since mature violence and 90’s 'tude define the character… (Stuff that couldn’t exist in a T rated game). That and his other most defining feature, his cloak, couldn’t be animated with the technology back then. He also didn’t have guns or chains or motorcycles or anything relating to Spawn really. He was basically guy with axe in a Spawn skin.

Spawn was the guest character I wanted most out of all the ones Boon has hinted, so I’m pretty happy. Other rumours were Alien, Predator, Jason, Sweet Tooth so far (stemming from Boon’s Twitter trolling). The Kombat pack says Guest Characters (plural) so there’s probably more than just Spawn.

This will be the first time we get Spawn actually being Spawn in a fighting game, I think.

did anybody even use freddy krueger in tournaments in mk9?

felt like i only saw 5 or 6 characters in that game, i had totally forgotten freddy was even in there until you mentioned it

feel like i’ve only seen < 10 injustice characters too, whatever happened to scorpion or black adam or superman or whatever running the game?

the great greg is now on heroes, he can lead us to victory with his cunning mind and strategic battle plans!!

Freddy Krueger was top tier his entire existence. He was seen lots. As for Injustice, every single character in the game made top 8 at a major except for Joker.

Scorpion was nerfed into being the worst character in the game (Perfect Legend still made top 8’s with him after nerfs). Superman was nerfed, but still considered top 5. Injustice suffered from the same thing American SF4 suffered from for a while. You’re going to see the most of what the best players are picking (Batgirl and Aquaman, instead of Rufus errywhere). You don’t even see a ton of Zod or Martian, accepted as top three characters, because the best players don’t use them. Injustice is one of the most balanced fighting games except for maybe USF4. (which is a miracle when you consider all the off-the-wall mechanics)

MK9 might as well only have 5 or 6 characters like melee though, but Freddy is one of them… he’s just not quite as wtfbroken as Kenshi, Cyrax and Kabal.

Freddy was fuckin stupid lol.

Full screen projectile frame traps, fuck you freddy.

Your loss man, Kanye has put out some amazing stuff over the years.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is easily the best album of the 2010s so far and quite possibly a top 20 album of all time.

i love kanye no lie

I played a bit of the tutorial stuff.

I suuuuuuuuck at using the controls. I also lose track of where my hero is when more than 4 dudes are on the screen.

Should be fun.

only click if you want a wall of negativity

this is my last post for a long time, bye

[details=Spoiler]lol evo is running USF4 on PS4

all the people who have modded their sticks are fucked

everyone is fucked, really

money rules, i guess, don’t give a shit about the 2000 entrants who have to scramble to buy a new stick, or figure out how they’re going to mod their hitbox/360 pad/ps3 pad to play

cronus max doesn’t work on ps4 (not that it would be allowed anyway), and there are no other converters that work

evo claims they’re going to have “loaner sticks” there in an unbelievable showing of naivete, what, you’re going to provide 200 pristine sticks across the venue and just hope that everyone is happy playing on someone else’s grimy, sweaty stick and that no buttons break on anyone? what if you like silent buttons in your stick? what if you like octo gate? what if the guy ahead of you lost and slammed his fist on the stick and now you’re not sure if it even works? hell, what if the ps4 port itself is bad?

madcatz must be fucking salivating at the bit right now though

what a fucking joke the FGC is, seriously, so glad to not be a competitor anymore

and yes, i understand WHY this has been done, because sony is putting all this money into the various capcom cup events, but there is not a single benefit to any competitor to run it on ps4 (but there are dozens of problems), it’s purely a corporate money thing

they very least they could do is make sure ps3 sticks work on ps4 but lord knows they won’t do that, go fucking buy a $225 stick that you can’t even find online anymore because nobody has made enough sticks, and then go ahead and carry like 3 or 4 sticks to the venue for all the various systems you’ll be playing on[/details]

you should get into mobas, ricky.
good infrastructure, can be very cerebral
right up your ally.

glad im not going to evo and give a crap about playing SF

that is seriously dumb. there are no other words for it.

EVO is looking more and more silly to me.

“Sorry, defending champion, you cannot use the pad you’ve spent the past several years practicing on.”
“Sorry, seriously competitive people, you must buy a PS4 and scramble to find a stick, in order to properly train for this event.”
“Sorry, casual player, looks like you must invest more money to play here. No we cannot run it on the X360s we have in the back.”
“Sorry, smash player, you are not allowed to use this stage, it is banned for copyright reasons.”

I just can’t imagine organizing an event and going to my participants and saying these things. I guess that’s why we don’t run EVO.

I know moving to one system for as many games as possible makes sense for everyone, I just don’t know if this year is the year to do it.

Seems like it’s the money talking to the EVO folks right now. USF4 isn’t even released on PS4 yet. The port may have some minor differences as well. Hitbox differentials. Controller input lag. The PS4 version may turn out to be the worst of all 3. It’s a big risk to take but I guess money trumps all right now. EVO’s gone corporate.
