Calgary Thread 2017

I’m sure the PC version will rectify that one day. SFV character skin textures are suuper fuzzy on PS4 compared to PC. Wish current gen was more powerful :(.

Yeah NRS not gonna win any animation awards lol, but relatively speaking Damian moves smoother than past endeavors… he definitely looks like he could be top tier as fuck (that sword is gonna be redonk)

If anyone here gets a beta code before me I’ll scream. And then offer blowjobs.

edit: Floe is loving the game on stream and I’m super jelly :(. They fixed Superman’s face from those early builds haha

Been watching the streams. RE7 genuinely looks fucking awesome. I would get it.

No no no. Please let it be anything other than skull girls. Please please please

Andrew do something. Pledge all your money to MkXL. We cannot let Skullgirls be on stage

maybe one day you will learn to let other people just be happy with what they like

won’t be today or tomorrow or next week, but maybe one day

RE7 is getting good reviews yeah, hopefully it’s cool for fans of horror genre. i’m gonna get tales of berseria at the end of the week, i’m a big tales fan and berseria getting pretty great reviews. i play all the games co-op

FUCK THAT These skullgirls are getting a SIZE 50000 BOOT TO THE ASS

RE7 is actually surprisingly great. I’m enjoying it. A return to form for Capcom?

Injustice 2 not being on the Sunday is baloney. Every year there’s an NRS game on Sunday and every year it has like second highest viewership. I don’t get it at all.

Marvel or KI will win the donation drive imo, as much as I’d like to see an NRS game on Sunday. I have no reason to be there on Sunday this year and that makes me really sad.

some people suggest that they aren’t going to risk injustice being on sunday in case it is imbalanced and boring with one or two dominant strategies taking over top 8

i dunno, it’s not an unreasonable stance to take

Come now, Ricky. You’re better than the common internet troll. That sounds like a made up reason since it’s happened at 1 tournament out of 7, and character homogeneity applies much more aptly to the main game on sunday.

Then you have Tekken, where numbers consistently bomb whenever a Tekken game is on stream in the past, so why put faith in this one. And Tekken 6 at Evo had like 4 Bobs. That’s never happened for an NRS game.

Maybe they’re trying to push Evo Saturday as almost as big a deal for spectators as the Sunday (since Melee and Guilty Gear are on the Saturday). Seems a more reasonable stance. Especially after 2 of the most written about and remembered moments from last year were from Melee and an NRS game.

In conclusion… don’t you ever get tired of being wrong ;)?

i just said it was not an unreasonable stance to take, especially since the game in question was the direct prequel to this game and NRS games are at their least balanced at launch. i didn’t say it was verified as the actual reason

i don’t think evo saturday will ever be as big as evo sunday, no matter what games they put on it. i do think the sunday lineup is a little weak though. dunno if that’s intentional or if that’s just my opinion and everyone else is stoked about the game selection.

Also happened to the “direct prequel” of Tekken but worse. So… logic error.

But yeah. NRS games unbalanced at launch always, but normally that doesn’t matter much. I’unno. Hopefully Injustice 1 Superman taught them lessons.

And after yesterday seeing that gear gives whole new moves and supers I have no idea how the game is gonna work in tournament. Does the tournament mode just mean the gear doesn’t change stats, or will they just discard these 100’s of new special moves in tourney mode completely…

As I said earlier, an indie fighting game showcase on one of the evo streams would be nice during the downtime between games

Careful what you wish for, Josh. There’s a very real chance you’ll get an indie game on Sunday with Skullgirls lol. That community has shown they come out in droves with donations before.

Plus Sonicfox could just throw all his winnings at Skullgirls…

mkx: sanicfox has money and would probably donate lots because he would win it back anyway
marvel: no thug’s gonna throw his money at that, lol.
skullgirls: has a chance (see: community - have you even met british dave)
pokken: wait, what?
killer instinct: again, really good community
SSF2T: this would be the hypest shit. if japan and all the OG’s chipped in, fuck me. top shelf.
arms: too bad nintendo isn’t a player
windjammers: again, this would be soooooooooo sick and hype. doubt there are enough people who even know what it is let alone would donate for it
nidhogg: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sonicfox will throw his money at Skullgirls lol. Skullgirls, KI, and Marvel are the only possibilities imo.

Windjammers looks sick. Have to give that a try.

Edit: or maybe we’re crazy… Pokken is currently in the lead haha

At least I save money on not buying an arena ticket this year. Ain’t nothing I want to see on Sunday (at least not for the price of sitting through 4 hours of Smash and then SFV)

aw man andrew, definitely give windjammers a try.
it’s hard as hell. but when you get in the groove and have a close game with your opponent you are both on the edges of your seat.

Ayy got the beta. Gonna download once I’m home.

I hope you choke on it!

On a brighter note… RE7 is amazing

lucky

What if that game was GigaMaidens?

Would they be mad at me for stealing their thunder?

Haha it’s amazing. If you guys are up for it we can get together and check it out. It’s super low on the MKX style mix. Of the 4 beta characters so far neither has both a low and overhead starter that isn’t reactable. Walkspeed is also way up.
