this is a different discussion, lol. Ask the Chinese and Koreans about Japanese ‘national pride’ tho’, >>
He kept insisting he had some ‘secret tech’ (that was his exact wording) for months and months, and I don’t think it was ever revealed what it actually was. Although, now that I think of it I think it was specific to some sucky character, and it seems like only good characters get the benefit of TAC infinites.
Fighting with you here is similar to fighting with you on XBL… I’m not really interested. Is that you in your avatar? If yes, then I’ve already won anyway.
I prefer EC/WC rivalries personally that’s the fun one.
In general tho’ its fun until people get retarded about it, which people inevitably do 
Looks like Marlinpie has found more infinites lmao.
#gameisass
Fun =/= Importance.
And honestly, I do think they’re stupid.
No, that was with Jill and was removed in Ultimate.
In more important news, the Evo stream channel is currently the Fighting Game History Channel…running footage from B3 all the way through the Evos year after year. http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo1
They stole iplaywinners old stick.
Viscant has never looked so pure. This shit is gold!!
WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN ALL IN CAPS!!! CALLING OUT ALL AMERICANS, OUR NATIONAL PRIDE IS AT STAKE. NATIONAL PRIDE!!! YOU KNOW THAT THING THAT BANDS TOGETHER ALL THE MORONS OF THE WORLD INTO AN EASILY CONTROLLABLE MOB OF DUMBSHITS. I DON’T KNOW YOU AND YOU DON’T KNOW ME BUT LET’S RALLY TOGETHER OVER SOME TRIVIAL SHIT THAT HAS NO BEARING ON ANYTHING BECAUSE WE’RE AMERICAN!!!
THIS IS OUR GAME SO WE NEED TO WIN. I WILL CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP IF A FOREIGNER TAKES THAT FROM US.
I’m blaming any loss on TAC.
No, I thought TACs where a dumb concept from the word go. Prior to the discovery of this tech I would have been OK with them simply being a guaranteed tag at the cost of one meter. Now…eh not so much. The other guy getting meter is irrelevant (against most of the cast) once Dormammu and/or Firebrand infinites are found for every TAC direction.
ok, the hype for the TACs is gone on my side.
Just Ban/patch them because all these stories about X-23 and Firebrand and shit are sounding real scary and that’s not a game I want to play.
I kind of hope the ‘new last minute evo announcement’ is them banning the infinites.
Not because I like banning or hate the infinites, but just because I want to see the entire scene lose its collective shit.
How do you even ban infinites? What draws the line between a legit infinite, a long looped combo and a swag combo? 2 reps of 2 attacks, 3 reps of 3 attacks, 4 reps of 4 attacks? What about X factor infinites and loops? Do you ban Spiral Swords and Lightning Loops too? What combos that sort of look infinites when performed for the first time in a match but you can’t be sure because the character died before he got too many loops going? Clearly we haven’t figured out all the infinites yet so it’s nearly impossible to ban a combo on the spot because it looks like the guy might be looping a few moves too many times.
You limit the amount of reps. Some infinites will allow you to stall the match and totally degrade the state of play.
They could just ban the TAC infinites. If you rejump to keep it going after landing you forfeit the match? shrug It seems ridiculous, but it does highlight the problem a little. At least it’s more clear cut than banning them from something like XvSF, lol. What few other ones are left after that are fairly impractical.
Not sure what they should do, but just to give you some context, when you watch archived A3 matches, they usually fast forward past the infinites. So you’ll see them start one then 50 seconds has immediately gone by as the other guy goes from 80% life to being dead.
It’s not the most exciting thing the world.
That’s imo why they probably won’t touch it, it puts too much pressure and, well, judgement on the judges, and that’s just a headache for everyone.
If a judge says something is disallowed and throws a match, players are pretty much assured to go bitch to the Cannons and they really don’t want to deal with that in the middle of Evo, which is pretty damn stressful.
