It was in this video from bizaro mike. no matter where the jokes come from, it’s obvious certain jokes got under his skin and he couldn’t say shit due to his job.
I’ve had discussion with bizaro about shit I won’t get into here, but I immediately found him to be a dickhead and not someone I care to follow in the fgc.
I don’t watch the dude but he definitely seems more self-aware than LTG and, from all accounts, is a pretty alright guy in person. The one time I did watch I thought it was quit amusing how he declined to rematch someone he knew (UM Tyrant) because he was on a long win streak and then called them to apologize.
You’ve just described in a nutshell why professional sports commentators don’t go in too hard on field goal or home run calls until the ball is through the uprights or over the fence respectively.
I don’t know what annoyed me more, that it wasn’t even a remotely funny joke even if you take the racist stereotype out, or the fact he doubles down on it after it bombs that hard. Like, fuck, did you really think a “niggas sure loves dey chickinz” joke in 2016 was that good?
Speaking of fried chicken…
I’m so confused about what the guy was implying. So did he or did he not eat some chicken?
Like why even ask that joke out of blue unless he did at some point?
He ate chicken on stream and dude was being an ass.
If memory serves me right, Mike peaced out during the top 8 of the amateur tournament, and jokes were made about what food he was getting. So he decided to get in on the joke what I assume are hours later and take it to a racial place.
The hell are you jabbering on about you silly sod.
Crossplay is fucking great. The idea of funneling a niche genre’s flagship title into a singular playerbase so everybody can play with one another irrespective of platform is a fine idea. A great idea. In fact, it makes so much sense it blows my mind that Capcom actually had the stones (and technical ability) to pull it off.
I’m genuinely curious - what is your issue with it? What is the negative aspect of a having all online players grouped together for potential matches? Hell, I see people moan about how rarely they encounter matches online in this very thread sometimes - were crossplay not a thing, you can bet those matches would be even more infrequent, if not halved.
Also, 15 year Dalwhinnie is pretty good. Cheers.
Just think of a universe where you can’t get bodied by @LordWilliam1234, @Zeniside or @Hawkingbird in lounges because they play on a different system. That was the world before SF5. Grim isn’t it?
And the Sith lord Harada now wants to get us back to the Dark Age. DON’T LET HIM STOP HUMAN PROGRESS!!!
So why are we getting less games on a double platform than a single, in a game that’s supposedly “ESPN” big.
Why do I have to play some fuckers from Thaliand and Singapore
Why can’t I speak to my mates in game
Why is Dime Laggy when he lives 5km away but I can play the otherside of the country just fine
Why the FUCK can’t i just see who’s on in my own country and invite them in
Why does it tell me it’s 5 bar when it’s clearly fucking 2 bar
… But yeah, Cross play, fucking brilliant! I can cross play dudes on PC…FROM AMERICA!!!
I’m on the Gentleman Jacks tonight!
We’re already in that universe, I’m really bad at this game 
Also Hawkingbird plays on both PC and PS4 already.
Fine dude. My whole point was that the SF audience DOES NOT boil down to guys that attend tournaments and religiously watch streams, which is pretty clear given all the backlash SFV has received and not selling as expected. Since you clearly disagree, then it’s pointless to argue with you. You actually might be right eventually, since Capcom is killing any casual appeal that this franchise ever had.
Pretty sure you mean Sony there
I mean if mike actually ate fried chicken on stream then I don’t see what the big deal is, at all. I love fried chicken. Make the shit all the time. I also like koolaid and grape soda, fucking co workers always asking me if I’m going to get the fried chicken at dinner if there’s any fried chicken. I’m like yo they got chicken? I’m eating the fuck outta that shit homie. Even better if they got collard greens and cornbread… These white folks out here in Australia eat blacker than I do. Motherfuckers stay eating watermelon like the earths going dry and it’s 100 degrees outside. I don’t even like watermelon that much but I started eating it when I came out here.
But I mean, if mike didn’t eat chicken on stream then he’s got every reason to be mad.
But don’t go coonin then get all mad when people just want to get down with you and make jokes as a term of endearment. Not saying that’s what happened here, but I don’t stray away from my blackness. I’m proud to like what I like and fuck people that want to make fun of me for it. I’m just going to continue eating this fried catfish cause the shit is bomb.
Awful.
None of those points can be pinned on cross-platform play, those shortcomings are due to the game’s technical deficiencies. Namely:
Higher ranked players in thinly populated regions see less games due to the way in which match-making works. This becomes even thinner when your connection criteria is demanding (i.e. 5) combined with our isolation in this part of the world. In lower ranks, there are scores of players both in ranked and casual matches. Problem is, a lot of them are quite new to the game. Should more people quite literally ‘get on your level’ you can reasonably expect to see more frequent matches. Until then it’s invitational casuals or a whole bunch of waiting. Levelling up in this game, in our region, provided you prefer a solid connection standard, is in many ways like relegating yourself to solitary confinement for extended periods assuming you play ranked/public causal matches.
As above. Likely the only ‘available’ players who come close to satisfying match-making criteria on the onus you are in a relatively high rank are in neighboring regions in APAC. It sucks.
Because Capcom don’t have the technical competence to implement their own chat system, nor leverage the existing ones on the PSN/Steam via associating CFN accounts with them fo rlinked messaging. It’s ridiculous coming from a company who constantly parrots the merits of ‘community’ and so forth.
Dime plays Street Fighter? Crikey. Given the dire state of ISPs and telecommunications in general in this country, it’s folly to assume close proximity equates to efficient network routes. Sadly, this applies to most countries.
Because Capcom are too incompetent to implement regional filtering. However, I suspect this is an intentional decision as it doubles as a means to present a seemingly larger playerbase to those who don’t specify strict connection quality standards. This in turn also allows their match-making approach to select from a larger potential pool of available players, again on the onus your connection quality filter is set to low (aka shit-tier gameplay quality, rollbacks, etc). I suspect this feature will find it’s way into future releases/updates however.
Because the polling frequency for the game has a tendency to drop, timeout and misreport player conditions and often. Joining an active session forces another poll, which is often why those solid green connections turn to two-bar garbage once “xXx SHORYUKENZZZ xXx” jams on that ‘ready’ button. This is often the case with direct or peered connections moreso so than those rare situations when your connection is forced through an intermediary (as denoted by your connection indicators when matches begin). I suspect the often inaccurate or seemingly broken connection quality indicators that take forever to refresh during browsing/search sessions are due to them being a laundry list of simple JSON requests Capcom’s evidently lean and inefficient infrastructure can’t properly deliver to game clients. It’s entirely possible many players also have weird traffic restrictions causing timeouts or query failures, though from what I can tell all these queries are performed via 443, which certainly isn’t blocked incoming for the vast majority of players, that’s for sure.
Japan doesn’t know where Australia is.
So maybe… Instead of implementing the cross play… they coulda done that other…stuff?
I’ve been over this nonsense a thousand times though, nothings getting better, the same shit we were complaining about in February is still here. Except now we downloaded 100GB worth of patches and went a weeks worth of maintenance…for…something…
I agree but I don’t think cross play has anything to do with it. Capcom just sucks. That’s what the problem is.
You could be playing MKX, but you still here waiting. Capcom got ya, they got ya good.
If they do fix things it looks like we are waiting for a Season 2 fix. Some of the issues that KI and MKX had also pretty much waited for the second year into the game or Season 2 as well. If Season 2017 launches and still all the same problems, then at that point hope is likely gone.
I’m pretty certain CFN is going to be completely different by 2017. It sounds like they had a lot of plans for it that seems pretty obvious to change up for a big update.
