Calgary Thread 2016

Your PC won’t run KI? I think I’ll be putting more time into KI or Revelator (and Dark Souls…) than SFV as well to be honest. The system isn’t pulling me in like MKXL right now. Feels… I dunno… dry?

A main stream fighting game by Riot or maybe one day Blizzard is what it’s gonna take for FGs to reach the next level, so I’m pretty hype. Capcom won’t be the ones to do it.

Pretty sure Soul Calibur VI is getting announced this year too… Mmmmm. Hope they learned their lesson about releasing full games as well.

yeah don’t buy an xbone for KI, just wait for the PC version where your old sticks will work

they released the specs for the PC port, they’re pretty reasonable (at, or less, than SFV i think): http://www.ultra-combo.com/windows10/

you do need windows 10 though

Haha. Should have jumped more. J mp from birdie is super hard for me to anti air.

Fuck me. Man I cant even get out of bronze league. Also my wrist are fatigued so quick tonight and my shitty stick skills got even shitter.

Say hello to SFxT man

league’s character designs are straight garbo and i wish they’d make basically anything else with that netcode, expertise, and financial backing.

I have a really hard time getting into jumping range on Vega. The walkspeed difference kills me.

I go online with a super old laptop that has no hope of runnining anything released in the last 10 years, let alone run KI. Id need to buy a new pc.

fair enough, but if you factor in the cost of a stick (or converter) + cost of xbox live gold if you want to play online, you’re looking at probably $500 to play KI on the xbone

for not much more ($600-700?) you can get a pretty good mid-range PC rig that does a lot more for you

but yeah, it’s up to you man

they did make sfxt better, but it took a year and by then it was way too late (and not quite enough change)

Good opinion not to mention correct

yea. Before I was letting the banana paralyze me but that v-skill has a ton of start up frames. I kind of try to bully Birdie at mid range now to get him to do stuff that I can punish. but if you get that out there you basically get a few seconds of just being able to walk forward and narrow the gap.

but man that j. mp is fucked. His hitbox changes so much. I lost 2 stupid rounds to some shitty Birdie cause I was like “Aw yeah jumped right at me fuck yo- oh WHAT” my c hp got stuffed, even WITHOUT the claw… and sweeping under isn’t foolproof because it’s also a cross up.

Birdie is really cool though. He really gives you that impression that you are fighting a giant overpowering, dirty-fighting brawler. Pretty neat how that translates through his gameplay. One bad button and you can eat the st. mp super combo.

Overwatch beta invites went out last night for those that were still wondering. Open beta begins like may 8th or some shit as well.

AlphaGo just did the impossible and beat the #1 ranked Go player in the world, the end is nigh for us meatbags.

that the white and black stone game with infinite outcomes? shieeeeeeeeeet

what would happen if you put AlphaGo vs AlphaGo? would that open up a black hole?

Kinda feels like you’re shooting people with wet macaroni or playing laser tag… not sure I like that there’s no sense of impact. Not a fan of their Dreamworks art either. But some of the character gameplay designs are swell. Cowboy too OP.

Definitely won’t be paying 60 dollars for it on release though.

McCree is actually really shitty now lol

I get bored of it really quickly, maybe a game or two at most and i’m done with it. I won’t be buying it on release either unless they add or change a lot of shit.

My company VP just called me and is trying to convince me to move back to Calgary with pay increases and compensation shit ughhh. Why must you tempt me away from my delightful Victoria? :frowning:

All characters return to a neutral standing position on wakeup

you’re a lucky guy and must be good at what you do josh. Don’t feel bad about it, haha!
But yeah, Victoria is sick. Wish I lived out there.

I wish everybody lived out here, it’s entirely 1000%+ better than living in Calgary. It’s a shame it’s so expensive though, I don’t think anybody our age could ever afford to buy a house here with the boom that’s happening now that calgary n shit are all going downhill :frowning:

I’ll definitely consider the offer though… now seems like a good time to get a place downtown calgary anyway eh? seems the rental market is pretty fucking desperate for people
