Marvel last year could have been huge but Smash U fucked it out of all of its Saturday stream time. Tons of huge upsets happened off stream in semi-finals. Between that and KaneBlueRiver winning and then ducking out of every single tournament since then, seems like the game really is truly dead now
i do think marvel is one of the better spectator games so i imagine it will be back if they can spare the room
but i think tekken 7 and marvel are the ones in danger of being cut if they do less than 9 games
although… you could make a case for usf4 being cut just because it has the most overlap with another game (sfv), and maybe it’s tough to run a huge usf4 bracket with already huge sfv, melee, and smash 4 brackets. tekken 7 and marvel have pretty distinct player bases that might not enter other games.
based on number of participants from last year, KI is in danger of being cut but i think with the PC release and season 3, last year having an exciting top 8, and maybe MS being an evo sponsor, it will make the list (i hope)
you’re actually clinically insane if you think SF4 will be cut
"Ono: Street Fighter 5’s input leniency makes moves come out a little easier than expected, says hardcore players will use it to their advantage"
aka overpowered option selects that will further divide the skill levels
alioune says that if you press a button 2 frames before you leave blockstun, it comes out the 1st frame after blockstun
so there is a window helping you reversal a normal out of block stun (and presumably a window just as large, if not larger, for reversal special moves), which should make 1f punishes on moves pretty easy
That’s something from 3D fighters. Makes me smile (And I wish normals in MK worked the same…)
Imo, the only execution errors I ever saw were input errors on Ultras and on 1frame combos.
I don’t understand how making input buffer more lenient helps with execution. Nobody ever did the fireball motion and had trouble pressing the punch button on time.
It’s not going to help beginners at all unless you’re under the age of 5 maybe. It just seems like a mechanic that is going to benefit advanced players after we exploit it.
alioune was saying he had setups that trapped people, too, probably by doing weird block stun things? i dunno, he didn’t specify
it does mean, IMO, that you will need to really science up your frame traps though. if you have a frame trap that leaves a 2 frame gap, and you’re playing a 3f jab character, you better know it… a 3f gap won’t be nearly as good if that 3f jab is always a reversal
What ya mean Ricky? Does reversal shave off a frame?
what i mean is, not every mash jab in SF4 came out as a reversal, so if you were frame-trapping, you didn’t need a perfectly scientific setup calculated to leave a 2f gap and counter-hit a 3f jab. those setups exist and they worked, but sometimes leaving a 3f gap worked just as well
i don’t think that will be the case with SF5 because “most” jabs will be reversal, due to the input buffer, so you are going to need the scienfitic 2f setup or else you will always get hit
meaning that, if you don’t learn frame data or study these setups, you will be at a disadvantage
i think SF5 will be a pretty sciencey game eventually, and if you don’t study the science you will have a harder time
also, dailydot did a KI show today and justin wong was in the chat, saying that tokido personally told him (i’m guessing at the madcatz SFV event a few days ago) that killer instinct is currently his main fighting game and he’s practicing it really hard. there was also a topangaTV episode in december where tokido was explaining to mago and momochi how KI works, and he had a big smile on his face the whole time… i guess he likes it a fair bit, which is pretty awesome.
he also picked fulgore, which most KI players think is the best character in the game (myself included) but is hampered by how complex/difficult he is to play at high level
we are all doomed
Yeah according to Alex Myers, tokido told him that he thinks everyone will play sfv for 1 year then go back to sf4 due to how simple sfv is

Good riddance. See you at the bottom of the worst toilet in Scotland, SF4.
My favourite part about the announcements today is this quote.
And once again I have to ask… do you ever get tired of being wrong ;)?
dang i was making fun of josh because he’s my homey
i would never winky face question mark you, josh
You know he’s gonna end it with JK GUYS 10 GAMES
USF4 IS ALWAYS IN
Wow. That was clearly a political decision to leave out sf4. Not a people’s decision.
yeah i’m pretty sure capcom is like “no we’re doing sf5 now”
wouldn’t be surprised if evo had to dump it or be left off the capcom pro tour or something
also if it wasn’t for markman and mike ross, that reveal would have been totally wack, mr. wizard has no stage presence and didn’t even look like he really wanted to be there
