They’re all claiming the matches were real, Mike, Art, even the other contestants. Their game against each other was representative of how they played throughout the entire day vs. Team Street Fighter and Team Tekken. If you watch the whole day instead of going off second hand assumptions you wouldn’t be questioning it except for that video. Mike Ross is actually ass at UMvC3 as he doesn’t put time into it, if you watch FGTV the subject has been brought up numerous times.
How are people not outraged by being being lied to?
Yes, it is stupid. But, at what point does it become absurd to enjoy something that is presented as real but isn’t? When sports teams throw matches there are riots, pitchforks and torches. In fighting games hype is every bit a factor as the actual game is. In boxing, the same is true for the weigh-in. It has very little to do directly with the actual match that’s going to take place, yet it becomes essentially a hype exhibition. Trash-talking, taunts, threats, pretty much hype in general is all part of the game. Getting in the opponent’s head is real just ask any professional.
Now, there’s the added aspect of people making huge ass bucks off of this shit. Current defense is that the hype is fake, but the matches are real. Doesn’t matter. We’re being lied to. How can you trust that the matches are real if you cannot trust the very environment in which the players exist to be authentic? Further, it may not matter to some that the matches are real because they derive the most entertainment from the fact that the players are genuinely opposed to the success of their opponent. If the games are being played with falsified drive, artificial spirit and a fake heart from the get go, then it doesn’t matter that the match is “real” in the fact that the players are not actively dropping combos, or deliberately not tagging, or blocking or what not. It’s still bullshit. It’s a lie and I don’t want to see people getting payed for it when there are a ton of good players out there that will do it with a straight face and real heart, without the prospect of 1 cent of corporate money and with the added benefit of making the scene even better as a result. :tup:
Ask Justin who sent him to losers at SBV. 3-2. 2 Cable OCVS. WHATS HOOD!
New games look 2 ez. Too many bottom players placing on top. No challenges out there for Potts
I’ll be waiting for the first “IT’S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMNIT” Guy of the fgc to speak up.
Arturo put it best on Joe’s stream; people who didn’t already realize that the Mike Ross/Jago feud was fake need to open their eyes. People who think the matches were staged are just reading too much into it. Arturo streaming from his phone during the car ride didn’t damage “e-sports” in any way, and if anything generated more buzz over night.
As for people crying like little bitches with skinned knees about this being in the “wrong forum”, then don’t click the fucking thread and read all the way through it.
Really? General discussion is the wrong forum for discussing something that generally related to the community? Interesting.
i’m getting sick of people talking about how other people are dumb because they should have known the beef was fake. THAT’S NOT WHAT PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT!
Yes it is the wrong forum. You jackasses have FGD to create and post in shit stains like this thread. I (and a lot of other members of this site) come to GD to get away from this kind of idiocy. For Christ’s sake, why is it that none of you armchair fighters can just shut up? If you like a game, you go play it, get better and challenge people better than yourself. If you can’t, just shut the fuck up and keep it moving. Gaming, professional or otherwise, doesn’t need all this pomp and fluff. It just needs gamers to game and do their best. Stop with all this kayfabe, playing to the audience crap.
Is there a link to this somewhere? Did Art actually come out and say ALL of that? Because Fake Feuds aren’t nearly as bad as Rigged Matches…

That’s how i feel as long as matches aren’t rigged. Basically, i don’t give a fuck… it was entertaining.
^ fix your post bro.
Dear Po Pimpus,
Your post contained the following curse words:
“Jackasses” - PG rated word
“Shit” - PG-13 rated, but normally R rated
“Christ’s sake” PG rated, due to religious and alcohol references
“Fuck” R rated
“Crap” PG rated word.
This is merely a warning that I’m forced to give out to you. Most people get 3 chances for using profanity on this board, you currently have two left.
It’s not that we don’t give a shit.
It’s that we really don’t give a shit.
Dear ThePurpleBunny,
Your posts contain multiple use of the word:
“Shit” a PG-13, but normally R rated, word.
You currently have two strikes left.
Oh, sorry. What the fuck was I thinking?
I really need to watch what the fuck comes out of my mouth.
Fuck my life.
People’s conspiracy radar’s should have gone off the first time Mike Ross said that sfxt is “The best street fighter game ever”. When money and publicity is involved course that this will happen. Neither Mike nor Jago have a chance in hell to win evo first place or a tournament major. Gotta get what you can from where you can and have fun while doing it.
Let me help you with that. Fuck off you retarded faggot. I couldn’t give two shits about my usage of profanity. If I wanna say FUCK, then I’m gonna say FUCK like I’m Samuel L. Jackson delivering a monologue in fucking Tarantino film. Step yo troll game up.
Where’s Val? Can we get a lock up in here? Since this thread is obviously no longer about stupid ass “E-Sports” drama, or how pussified the FGC has become since Capcom started catering to trolls and scrubs. I don’t even post most of the time, but the extreme amount of bitchassness filtering in was setting off my bullshit detector something fierce.
Dear ThePurpleBunny,
Your post contains multiple use (3 times) of the word:
"Fuck" An R rated word.
I have warned you two times about using unnecessary profanity. The next time you use a curse word, I’m afraid I’ll have to report you to the admins.
Who gives a shit. It’s a promotional TV show about a game no one has yet.
God dammit bitch ass cunt dick christ! I seriously don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I mean I’m trying to be a god damn good boy here. I don’t wanna end up like some bitch ass dick and get reported to the admins.
What the god damn hell must I do to prevent that kind of bitch ass dick result?
This “drama” is hilarious.
And whats the big deal about cussing? It doesnt hurt anybody. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.
