Calgary Thread 2016

I guess it was a pretty big clusterfuck

Even jebaited is hurtbutt over his experience there. But it’s nothing but complaints all around lol

i’ve read nothing but people saying final round was one of the worst tournaments they’ve ever attended

makes sense because apparently FR is a shitshow every year, they keep promising to improve and plan for growth better the following year but they never actually do it

i’ve read dozens of posts saying people were DQed because they had no idea where to go for their pool, because no information was posted until like 5am friday morning, with no instructions as to where the game was being run, and people were DQed out of 8am pools, even those people who woke up early for no reason other than to check their pool assignment (because they couldn’t find the stations). this apparently included people who traveled from out of country for their favorite game.

the best part was the TO trying to blackmail capcom to show the alex trailer at the end, lol. he had no idea if capcom was planning to do it, so he just… sat on the ground facing away from the crowd, pointed at the main screen and hoped something magical would happen.

oh well, as long as they have a premier spot and well-run tournaments like combo breaker don’t get one, players will have no choice but to go

So I guess RZR had a “beta” PCB with 8 minute timeout issues? Every single one of their players had disconnect issues!

Also, wireless controllers are banned as fuck.

I know this is still very early and gameplay/meta gameplay will evolve (I hope) but I wasn’t particular impressed with sfv. It was cool to watch because I didn’t know what to expect but I feel the element of surprise will disappear quite fast. This seems like a very linear game. Lots of footsies, lots of dashing forward and dash backwards trying to land a surprise low forward into super. Get the knockdown and try to bait a move. What I’m trying to say was it was kinda boring. If Cammy wasn’t so fun to play, I probably wouldn’t be playing this game.

sounds like 3S

that game definitely sucks hard but SFV overall doesn’t seem too bad to me. who knows how it’ll play in the long run

i think Ryu is the best character in the game because he has an unblockable fireball plus parry. he also has an overhead and a shoryuken.

Final Round’s top 128 or whatever, made me interested in a lot more of the characters. I really enjoy playing Bison in this game, he feels really impactful with everything he does, it’s pretty satisfying to catch somebody with a df+fp into a combo etc.

Nando made me want to delve into R. Mika, Literally who the WNF ken? made me want to dabble with Ken. Ryu is obviously godlike, i didn’t even consider how cheap denjin super is at low health until recently. Mago’s Karin was godlike and made her combos look fun, i didn’t even know you could end a lot of her combos in a shoulder which is pretty cool

SFV is waaaay more interesting to me than SFIV (and most other SF games tbh). And, yeah, a big part of that is I find a ton of characters cool. I’d never thought I’d want to play Ken before. In SFIV there were literally zero characters I wanted to play. I just did because I love fighting games in general.

Plus I’m a huge fan of the counter and V system, death to FA, reversal and OS nerfs, and input buffer, (good thing it has it too with all that input delay). I really like SFV mechanically. (Mostly cus they took a lot of ideas from Soul Calibur which is the besssst)

But I doubt it’ll have SFIV’s longevity for a myriad of reasons.

Server maintenance all day tomorrow. Pray against the odds that it’s for the patch…

boy that random psychojosh link hanging around there sure is a lottery eh? did anyone dare to click it? did you win or lose?

It’s a weird song about raping people, i don’t get it

I don’t always click black dsp links, but this actually makes me laugh every time i hear the end of it: http://oddshot.tv/shot/lowti3rgod-2016032144714569

It’s a shitty parody of Rainy Day Woman by Bob Dylan.

Pretty much, it’s an ill-conceived attempt to highlight how third wave feminists cry rape at everything and everyone.

It’s not particularly clever or incisive, but who knows, maybe that’s the point. It’s so easy to just say you were trying to be ironic when you shoot and miss nowadays.

I’m curious when that video is even from. He’s a South African film maker who’s been around since the 90’s.

The moral of the story is, gamergate is the worst and that’s why no one gives a crap about it.

I guess it could be older. I honestly have no idea.

At the very least it’s probably being appropriated by MRA’s for what I said. That might not have been the original intent.

This whole Feminazi vs MRA’s garbage bores the fuck out of me. All semblance of objectivity tends to disappear on both sides. It’s hard to find logical arguments anywhere anymore.

the most hilarious thing is psychojosh attempting to talk about women

whatever tho, Hyper Light Drifter just released another trailer and announced a March 31 release date! Yay!

Hey guys I’ll be able to host tonight I’d anyone’s interested. Probably going to start at 6

Huh? I didn’t say a word about women. Nor do I see what it has to do with GamerGate.

Yall niggas on some bullshit.

Guess i’m driving up to Calgary on friday, might stay for a week. Booze & vidyas when?
