The Lounge: Does Leroy Smith Listen to Wu-tang?

Exactly. Which is why when I called Wiz and others out on their pyramid scheme which was destroying our community (and still is) I got shadow realmed and retconned out of the $RK timeline for almost a decade

So right. When samsho 2019 was announced, we went from a small community of people who were pretty serious about 5 Special to a large community who preferred ChatSho to SamSho. That and it became harder to find what little tech there was from the better players because you’d have to parse all this dumb ass waifu talk. There were a few players who came in with that group that stuck and turned out to be good but not many. Small & Awesome>>>>>>>>Big & Shitty

Wiz and that group only seem to care about the community insofar as they can make money from it.

Yea i know. He basically tried the same shit on me when i pointed out how fucking invasive the ads where. That fucking TxSF ad covered the WHOLE browser window. Posted a poc and he year banned me and then never lifted it. No “Hey websites expensive we gotta do something” no kinda explination, nothing. Just flat put banned like I posted porn. I had to get Preppy to unban this account 5 years later.

Thats how it is with that fat sack of shit. Do anything that might effect his money…like point out what a greedy self serving shit he is and he bans you cuz he’s a huge fat pussy.

Evo has to make money to keep running.

A lot of the stuff they’ve been able to do came from building relationships.

Actually those video ads on this site were what prompted me to get my first ad blocker :joy:

Yea. I would have let the ads rock if he just explained himself and i dunno said they where working on better ads. Instead Beesuit gave me the Crotchpuncha account and I downloaded every ad blocking program I could I find. Even managed to rid myself of that stupid fucking Complex Media Bar. He gonna be like then fuck you, I’ll block all your fucking revenue.

I understand that, but the decisions Evo makes affect the rest of the community. Their move towards a more esports type model has a trickle down effect not just on other tournies, but the community itself.

I’m not active in the community much anymore so it doesn’t really affect me, but I notice the difference in the community and the mindset of it before samsho 2019, and after it was announced that there’d be a $30k prize pot at Evo.

How much did Prem cost? I don’t understand why he decided to go to these large abusive ads if he could have sold more subscriptions. At least make the site ad free for prem members (if it wasn’t already.)

No site is entitled to make money from ads especially not if they’re as abusive as those complex media ads were.

It was like 5 a month, 15 for 6 and 25 for a year, iirc. Give or take a few dollars.

Also usually if you had x amount of prem left and you reupped between November-December Wiz would hook you up with something. Usually a name change, avatar size change, modify something about your profile, etc.

Easily this. Because everyone knows what they are getting when you purchase a smart watch for $3.99

I mean, I agree. I dislike everything about A3’s gameplay (and like everything about it’s roster, music, single player modes).

But that game should without doubt have online for ST, A2, A3, and 3S.

HF might have people playing it, it might even be better/more balanced, but afaik there are few if any tournaments for HF. There are still some for the other 4.

I don’t go to tournaments anymore so i don’t really care about that. I just want to play.

Tournaments for 30th Anniversary should be that random game mode. In other words all of a sudden you play Street Fighter or Street Fighter II: The World Warrior or Street Fighter Zero: Warrior’s Dream

White America forever at it :man_facepalming:

Hong Kong Protest still going on. Another reason to say “Fuck the Chinese Government”

People just play Champion Edition because it was more widespread than HF. HF is the best SF2 game other than ST and is one of the high points of the series in general though imo as far as just being a solid SF title. TBH I like it better than ST in some ways, but I understand and agree with ST being the definitive SF2 game even if I wish people would play HF more.
