I know there were politics involved but despite its poor reception Infinite would have smoked those Injustice numbers.

just that it never competed with it in the first placeā¦
Thats the part thats bullshitty. MvCi, liked it or not, was getting way more entrants in tournaments than Inj2. Iād say this is a black eye on Evo but theyāve been undermining themselves for so long that its just another one on the list.
NRS scene definitely the weirdest. They drop their games so damn quickly. Sell millions if copies, 30 people at a Major. I kind wanna find out why but fuckāem.

NERFS ALREADY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So SFV had 22K more average viewers than dbz, itās more clear now that sfv having top 8 at 2am really did prevent it from having the most peak viewers.

185K total pot size if the numbers on that site are correct.
Feels underwhelming for the largest FG event of the year. 
Personally, even when it came to Marvel, Iād rather watch SF Pool Play if I bother to watch pools of anything.

Out of all the high level G players Iāve seen so far, I gotta say Iām liking strider and sako mostly for how theyāre playing neutral. Nemoās style in the neutral game is just so foreign to me, he plays him like urien and tries to stay mobile like a cracked out weasel. I donāt get what and why heās making the decisions he does in neutral, can someone explain that style to me? Almost āfuerteā and āNashā ish, iām not downplaying it, Iām saying that there is something he knows that I donāt. Seems like his style is more about proactive decision making while strider/sako are more reactive in general.
Of course there is no hard set in stone way to play him, but Iām curious to see how the meta around his playstyle should develop and how he should be played.

I have a really strange issue with pc version of sfv.
If I turn on my pc, start steam and run sfv, during the first match, sfv will loose focus twice and I will be taken to desktop. Game will keep runing in the background and i am able to continue playing, but I usually loose a lot of health in the meantime.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
NRS games got Ninja Turtles and that couldnt save them. Theyāre meme games. Its rough to put it that way but they ultimately are. NRS is in it to sell fanservice and their scene is kind of forcing their hand at it.
Capcom can support their games because weāll play this bullshit regardless. Weāll drag ourselves kicking and screaming but weāll play it. SFxT and MvCI being massive exceptions (although SFxT enjoyed a longer competitive life than MvCi regardless of complaints). NRS scene doesnāt really wanna deal with bullshit for all that long. This kind of sends a terrible message back to the parent company. After seeing the number drop offs in viewers and player counts at tournament, it isnāt a worthwhile investment to do anything to their games past year 1 for the competitive side. When you considered the the Capcom side of thing roughed it out through SF4 AE and season 2 ( 2.5 was just as wack) of SF5, then the NRS scene looks worse for it.
I donāt know why their games implode like they do but they need to nut up. Las thing you wanna be the Soul Calibur scene where if it doesnāt play like SC2 they donāt wanna fuck with it.

Thatās not the story theyāre spinning apparentlyā¦
Not only does this article ignore SFV was on late when most people went to bed, but even the numbers they got are inaccurate. Their wish for SF to die off is so apparent.
Sagat vs Alex is 7/3 Sagatās big toe
Nope. Steam shouldnāt make your game tab out. Maybe thereās a Windows application thatās causing your game to minimize? Check task manager for any weird applications. Or uhhhhhh run in Windowed just to see if anything happens.
Edit: Also turn off in-game notifications (Steam) and Steam Overlay.

I already sent in Perthoās resume, donāt ask me how I got it. He should be getting an interview by the end of the week.

Almost did once.
Youāve legitimately have no idea how much it bothers me that eventhubs lets their writers do more writing than SRK.
I donāt have enough cursewords in the English language for that. This place shouldāve been the leading voice in FGs.
