Since NWM3 is after Evo, we should just do ST instead of HDR. The DC’s will already be there for Marvel anyways, right?
Why would you want ST instead of HDR, shit doesn’t make sense…
Because ST>HDR, is the most likely reason.
As a Gief player i disagree…Why not have both.
What do you mean by as a Gief player?
And I don’t actually think Vanilla ST will ever be at another Northwest Major again, so we might as well not talk about it, it will be crap HDR.
Cuz Gief can actually compete in HDR & so can a lot of the other cast members. Its more balance & fun to play IMO…
Gief can VERY MUCH compete in ST, my friend. He can do fucking over 50% off of a regular ( non SPD) facegrab.
Cant you just mash that out? The only time i do face grab is when my control is acting up…I rather take the improve green hands, hop, & lariat in HDR.
I was counter-mashing against former Northwest player Nate (XTG) who was using Gief, and THIS is what my lifebar looked like at the end (ACTUAL picture, it was the first attack landed that round, ALL the damage I took was from a facegrab):

Also I don’t want to hijack this thread but there’s about 800 valid reasons why a person could prefer Vanilla to HDR. Other than not liking the changes to their character. Plus, I play T. hawk.
Here’s a general idea of what I had in mind for events:
SSFIV: Singles
SSFIV: 2v2 or even 3v3 (more than likely capped at 32 teams)
T6: Singles
MvC2: Singles
HDR: Singles
Tournamentwars playoffs and finals
Bloody Knucklesesque art show
BYOC room
depending on who comes from out of state, a 3v3 or 5v5 regional throwdown…
While BB and GG have/had good turnouts, my partner and I think throwing a SSFIV team tournament will have a better attendance.
Good shit! Thanks for dropping the info.
This is probably stupid, but what is a BYOC room? I understand that it stands for ‘bring your own controller,’ but for what purpose? Casual game setups…?
Finally, do you think that it will be singles one day, and teams the other day? Or some other way of arranging the events? I’m guessing the art and BYOC will be ongoing… Sorry for all the questions.
I hope that if your favorite game isn’t here, you aren’t discouraged. Instead, I would love to see some side tournaments arranged at NWM3! Post up, see if you can get 8 people or so who want to play. Then, you can draw up your own bracket, and play your matches. I don’t see why you should care if it’s ‘official’ or not - it’s the perfect time to put something like that together. Lots of people, enough time, everything you need. And you can post the results from your side tourney along with the others!
Grant, BYOC=bring your own console, that’s where all the hot meltyblood action is.
SSFIV team tourneys are always hype. 3 v 3 sounds hella tight.
Oh, duh.
Okay. Got it.
Pretty disappointing that BB & GG won’t be there despite having decent turnouts last year for pretty much no reason it seems. Still going to go just know some people who won’t now, oh well.
I’m down. I might drive too. (carpool anybody?)
It’d be a little more reliable if I rode with someone else though
hdr sucks. vanilla on dc all day…unlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss niggaz wanna bring cabs haha
Because the only reason most of us pretend to care about HDR is because it replaced our precious ST at evo. We are die hard players stuck in the past. Fuck these flash game graphics. Fuckin’ david sirlin fighter.
NWM3 Will be streamed.
Rocking Slash - your stream for Bragging Rights(and bloody knuckles) was really nice.
