Also, shoutouts to Chris driving us. He kept his cool in that monsoon and got us home safely.
Shoutouts to JFord for yelling at Pat for seatbelts. “Don’t make me say it again!”
Shoutouts to Pat for buying me a drink when I was about to die of dehydration.
Too little too late?
If capcom can suck it up and know there game sucked and actually do a massive overhaul it can be amazing. But seriously what are the chances that’s gonna happen?
Probably. I mean, they would have to do a MAJOR over haul to the game to get people to enjoy it. We will see…
If im not mistaken…some kid from Myles school got killed last month because of no seatbelt…
Ok, so I am going to be driving to MBB with Richard and Brandon…I’m not staying the night and I plan on leaving sort of early evening close to when the games are ending. (I am not entering anything and I don’t think Richard is entering anything but UMVC3 so we’re leaving ASAP) I have room for ONE more in my car. All you will need is gas money to and from Memphis and I am leaving from Hickory Hollow Mall Saturday morning at like 730am that day…if someone needs a ride let me know ASAP but again realize I am leaving early so I can get home in time for baby madness…
Yes, TN had an excellent showing at RCR. And to think…Pat and I almost didn’t go.
And yes, it rained THE ENTIRE RIDE BACK HOME HOLY SHIT. Glad y’all were comfy, heh. That shit was getting stressful.
Seatbelts are god shit, Zaxby’s is God shit, Makoto is god shit, and KoF is God shit.
Also MANY thanks and shout outs to Sara and the 'Bama crew for hosting and having us. You, Wandles, and the rest of the crew (sorry I didn’t get any names) ran the shit out of that tournament. It was completely smooth, no hiccups. Improved 1000% over the last one. Thanks again
Man it was great meeting you and playing you in KoF. I guess i gotta embrace the bullshit. Thanks for the games man and yeah I may take you up on that Shen info. Also it was great seeing Raekwon again. See you guys at MBB and MWC!
Special shoutouts to Nice1 and EXCITED BEAST. Is beast GROSS? News at 11.
I had an amazing Hulk-only comeback last night. Killed the dude’s last character with Gamma Quake (rocks falling from the sky) chip damage. It was delicious.
Also, still the #1 SC5 player in the South. Eugene sound
Have you fought Mick yet?
Mick is still on my list. He didn’t know about RCR yesterday until last minute. JTO tried to get him to come play against me.
I did inform JTO about MWC and was surprised that he hadn’t heard of it. He’s attending it now though, especially since it’s an EVO qualifier.
Commentating on the stream at cinderslam 3 was Gawd awful! Man I hope ppl dont think we putting just anyone on the mic to commentate at MBB.
Why are you making me go on then? I’m robotic, lol
Astaroth: You and Mick will be a fun match, hopefully it takes place during MWC…
Not surprised people haven’t heard about us…like I said, we need a PROMOTER for MWC to just take control of it like every other tournament has these days…it gets lost in the cracks and we have to play catch up but it’s fine…150-200 people is easier to manage, lol…
Oh, expect a big tournament for stupid amounts of money that we are going to throw probably by next year…I think Q and myself are going to use Rockettown but go crazy with it this time around…
So I’ve made my move, as of last night, I’m officially in Mid TN (Murfreesboro). looking forward to hitting hickory hollow this summer. and meeting the nashville guys. what days are your gatherings? nothing has really changed w my skill level, still trying to improve. i took a bit of a break for a while during the school year… I been on SG a lot lately tho…solo para., playin alot of online ps3…training mode when I can… I can hit pretty decent damage, restand combos… but cannot hit napalm loops consistently… tryin to step my execution up… anywho, thought I’d check in being I’ve been pretty scarce round these parts lately.
Yuck city.
Users: Please put a No-Gem mode into the game. It’s also a tournament standard.
Ayano: This game was balanced around gems, so I would rather streamline gems better instead of introducing a No-Gem mode.
Seriously, Capcom is like an aging rock band that is way up its own ass. " We make records WE want. Fuck what the fans want! Who cares if our record sales have been declining for years? "
They did the same thing with Marvel, except that is a better game ( still sucks ) so it is still played, people just bitch the entire time they play, and Wesker is in the game… so have fun with that.
We play Tuesday nights for Fight Night at the mall. There is also a minor tournament this coming Saturday May 19.
I don’t think Marvel is better. More footsies involved in SFXT, just derpy juggles. UMVC3 literally has way more of the guess wrong and you are dead to button combos…but I think SFXT is better BARELY but it is still a fun game regardless of the derp and if UMVC3 is fun, so be it…lol
It depends what they do and how they market it. First they have to eat crow and admit they messed to appease the haters. They should do this at EVO like they did SF4. Next like they said, release the 12 characters early to bring some of the people who were on the fence and be part of the “make up” process. Lastly remarket the game as a serious fighter and try to go the opposite direction Ono was going with it. A graphic tweak would be nice but I don’t think they have that kind of time.
Alot is riding on this game whether you want for admit it or not. Capcom’s cross-over fighters will suffer because companies will be hesitant to have their brands made fun of and we as fans won’t get fighters from Capcom for awhile ala 12 years ago because they don’t want to risk the lost, thus is the reason I believe Darkstalker’s future is riding on this.
I hope they get it right because I think the game can be good if done right but it going to take work. I forgive the graphics (not a graphics whore) and even some of the craze stuff the Tekken characters can do (yes even Jin’s fireball) but the gameplay is boring and broken, a bad combination. It’ll be interesting how Capcom plays it.
I think there is too much of a voice to the community these days and they are the ones to blame for the existence of all the balance changes in SF4 to begin with.
SFXT sold 1.4 million. The “community” seems to think “they” are the reason why it hasn’t sold 2 million. The obvious reason is that there is an abundance of fighting games to compete against and even with that the game has still sold 1.4 million which outsells a lot of Capcom’s titles, the issue is the royalties on the Tekken characters and all the extra money for development because of any crossover…the only reason to release characters early is because the game needs to stay “fresh” and people are going to forget about it when Summer rolls around.
I don’t see why the game has to be a “serious” tournament game. You can play games for “fun” and they don’t always need to be as “serious” as SF and KOF.
I always have to laugh because MK outsells a lot of these games no matter what they do and they take “some” stuff into consideration but they are essentially laughing at the community in many ways…I get a big kick out of that, lol
I think people were just expecting more out of a game that was bringing together arguably the two biggest fg franchises of all time. But like you said, the biggest problem is that they’re competing with themselves. When CVS came out, it didn’t really threaten to take away players from Alpha 3 or Third Strike, so they could make it play like “street fighter” and people would enjoy it. With this game, they needed to make it more unique so they add a bunch of stuff that a lot of people ended up not caring for.
Why should you not cater to it though, especially when they tried so hard with sf4. It’s just annoying that damage is non existent, every other match is a time out, balance is stupid, rolento style jab lockdown stupidity, and how there is no reason to use the awesome looking supers. Feel like most of the issues will not be addressed.
