The Official GD Thread for those of us with nothing better to do than watch Evo streams

You gotta choose “source” then you get whatever they’re putting out.

Fuck paying.

lol yeah i forgot

I can’t watch it anyway if i put it on source the video will start to lag, thanks to my shitty connection.

Source lags for me as well.

Holy shit at that last minute level 3 win from Champ. DAMN!

He’s still got it! Watching him push back Daigo’s Balrog with a Ryu (still lost, tough matchup) was pretty impressive

Honestly, that was the best thing I’ve seen at 2014. I don’t know if it was because it was a one-off and everyone was having fun with it, but that was genuinely main event material. I hope there’s enough feedback from it to convince them to take ST seriously again.

If you really think about it I think some major points are getting enough setups for it is arguably the most expensive thing, American players have very limited ways to practice.

GGPO son

Anyone got a link for the ST top 8?

Doesn’t run at the same speed.

CPS2 emulation isn’t perfect.

Yeah and that’s a problem with the community

“lets all stick to the version no one has access to and not the one that everyone has access too”

if you love the game adjust to the common version

Also all the top ST players play a shitton of GGPO

Once the ud CPS2 takes off and there are CPS2 flash carts we should be golden for ST. Just a few more years.

They’re never going to do the PS2 version or emulation on FBA at a thing like EVO.

I asked about HDR on the stream on day1 and I think Fatboy or someone said HDR isn’t played at tournaments because it isn’t an arcade perfect port and therefore the community has deemed it inferior in every way.

Question, what is stopping anyone from tweaking ST to remove all the BS like throw loops, random dizzies, overpowered throws using the original STX rom, then create a fresh rom that can be uploaded to the CPSII cabinets? Has anyone attempted this?

Even if you did it wouldnt matter it would get shitted on

lol very true, but it would be fun project to take on.

On paper?

Kuni’s Gief is just extraordinary though, even N. Sagat has a favorable matchup versus Zangief :rofl:

In further news, I’m mad that I dozed off.

@TS This is how the matchup REALLY looks.

HDR is an entirely new version and native platform is the Xbox 360.

The only reason to use CPS2 hardware is to play ST, it’s completely unnecessary to do what you just described (because that’s basically HDR which is about 10 bucks on a system most people have).

I know you guys don’t really like Smash but I’m sure you’ve heard of Project:M it’s basically Ultra Melee but it’s built on Brawl, they won’t use it, it’s not an official game.

There’s also a re-balancing of Melee done using cheat codes and file replacements, easy to set up no one would ever use it for something like EVO.

I missed a lot of Marvel yesterday. Were there any upsets like in SF4?

Just Marn doing his thing

Yes. Angelic dropping combos, Fchamp running Apology man into a husk of a man. Too much good stuff.
