Calgary Thread 2016

I was gonna add Pokken to Ricky’s list a page ago as a joke… but the joke would have been on me! But it does make me smile that it’s the game that took SF4’s spot, just for the troll factor.

I read that arcade owners in Japan are trying to get rid of cabinets because the game isn’t profitable… odd choice.

someone PLEASE photoshop USF4 boxart over the kid and mr wizard over the girl driving the car

Pokken is gonna be weird as fuck considering apparently player 1 is always forced to use the wii u gamepad to play on instead of that special controller they made for it.

Nintendo you always manage to surprise me somehow. Congratulations.

man im bummed about usf4 not being in. i can understand why from a business stand point but still… this sucks… goodbye SF4

I booked my hotel… Game line up is awesome :wink:

I would also like to add that Tekken 7 is ridiculously pretty. I hope it’s out on console by then…

i guess wiz was afraid of embarrassing america with yet another foreign win in sf4 huh.

that’s crazy they cut it. jeez.

remember the alpha 2/3 revival thing way back? and how the whole deal was, prove you have a community and we’ll give you a slot?

rest in pepperonis SF4

tron: are we going to have a FINAL sf4 tournament at dickens on feb 14? to find out who is the best forever?
it’s valentines day, which could be bad for turn-out but it should be done!

also here’s a song with some street foighter soundclips :slight_smile:

Pretty much the roster I expected.

SF4 had to go, it’s purely a business decision. Capcom is no longer supporting it and putting all their efforts into SF5. They would of course want their latest and greatest to be marketed to the world over an older product.

Almost every game on the roster with the exception in melee and marvel (marvel is a hmmm for that decision but melee still pulls in high numbers) is either new or currently being supported by their companies.

I feel sorry for the fool that volunteers to hold the side USF4 tourney ahah. It’ll have more entrants than every other game except sfv.

Platinum Games tackling TMNT. Liking the art style/design.

Peace out USF4.

Fantastic fighting game.

kinda feels like i’ve been dating this one girl exclusively for the last 7 years. i was so loyal to her and put in so much time and effort to know her inside out. i knew every mole on her body. then all of a sudden, i woke up this morning with her clothes gone and all she left me was a letter on the kitchen table "make your own sandwiches, bitch."
i took her for granted and now she’s gone.

it seems like they might put evo tickets on sale really soon

which means we should figure out who is planning to go so we can, uh, book the sunday stadium tickets in a bunch? otherwise you’re just going to sit near random people

with the canadian dollar being so fucked right now, what’s the estimate on what an evo trip is gonna cost?

i think the flights will still be about the same as in past years (i would estimate $300-400 CDN if you find a good deal some time between now and evo)

i dunno about hotels, but if people split a room i guess it’ll be $50 a day at worst? food will probably be the thing that is affected the most, but you can budget there

i dunno, i would guess you could do evo for $800 CDN (or less) no problem and still enjoy yourself

Hotels are super cheap right now. 80-120 usd a night on the strip. Sooo like 110-160 a night Canadian, split however many ways.

Not gonna be that expensive unless you eat out thrice a day.

Dink - Yes.

Going to have something out in the next day or so, busy days off is busy.

Yeah, it’s V-Day - BUT but those of us who are romantically obligated there’s room for both. If you’re smooth.

Also, given the state of our dollar I would suspect more in the $1500 range for an Evo trip if you want to do more than play games and eat.

Sorry, not going to Evo. Maybe next year if the economy/dollar is better.
And everyone is bummed that sf4 wont be there officially…but you damn well know it’s gonna be the biggest side tourney ever at Evo.
