I really…REALLY hope so.
Well that only leaves the organization+time problem, which is up to the TO’s. My biggest problem is my trauma with card games that I would have to buy stuff in order to keep playing it, or that I need to have this stuff in order participate/have success in this tournament, but I don’t really see TO’s giving out access to all the gems to the players either.
This shit is stupid.
Kinda disappointed that they chose this route. This game is amazing at the base, give us an option to disable gems online and offline and I am sure everyone can be happy. I don’t mind if people want to make gems allowed in lobbys, but I personally don’t want to play someone who gets to remove a huge part of the game by having an auto tech gem on permanently.
Yup, this shit is mad stupid.
The no shortcuts gems should be the only allowable gems.
DLC characters.
DLC colours.
DLC combos.
DLC gameplay modifiers.
Game-breaking lag.
Non working co-op functionality…
The fighting game ‘renaissance’ continues!

YOO I jus want someone to fcking interview Seth Killian and get to the point… and make him feel hostile as fck with questions pertaining to this crap… This sht is ridiculous
I’ve not seen a decent interview with killian and Ono. Not one person actually challenged them on anything important. You don’t have to be rude to ask tough questions.
You do have to be an ass-licker to maintain sponsor loyalty.
How is anybody certain that Capcom will ever release these gems to the public?
Just because they’re locked on the disc doesn’t mean they’ll ever be available at some point.
Yes, that’s the problem. On a related note, on the podcast I do, before we accept a free game we specify we’re going to be completely honest about it. Non-negotiable.
Likewise, we don’t discuss gaming news. It’s mostly bullshit anyway, and is used by most sites to get click throughs. The reader or listener is secondary.
Needless to say we’re a niche show. And we get smarter listeners because of it.
I was pretty much over this game a while ago but this seals the deal for me. No thanks Capcom.
capcom needs to stay up for their doing. at least they should elaborate this stuff. it won’t make us any more happier, but at least they would act professional. this whole “pay for what you want” only works if the basic game is either free or very cheap, which isn’t the case. ppl will feel ripped off no matter what.
capcom doesn’t care for fans the slightest bit. never believe that capcom does something for “us”, they do only stuff that gives them advantage and only them.
Neither Big2 nor WNF tonight ran gems in their tournaments. Gem play could very well not become standard, only time will tell.
im going back to super street fighter 4 ae. Who else?
Fuck the focus system.
This. No seriously. I play 3rd strike, and every first game I play, I try to parry with mp/mk LOL!
why u hate the focus system
lol im not really seeing what the big deal is with most of those. they generally require 2-3 slots and have weird activation conditions or dont last very long.
cant be thrown for 3 slots? go ahead nub, use it and my power gems and meter gems and hp gems plus overheads are going to run a train on you, plus my chip damage buff from power gems, my new ability to use meter more liberally than what you can, plus throws suck in this game… no real followups cause of rolls and have very little range…
lol throw break gem is useless.
-dime
This game needs a non charge gem, I want Super Super Guile in SFxT. Sonic Boom Sonic Boom Sonic Boom Sonic Boom Sonic Boom HAH! Sonic Boom Sonic Boom Sonic Boom FLASH KICK! Crouch for 45 seconds until they jump and you get the last hit
