Holy shit Sherry and this Ibuki player are both hot garbage.

And this surprises you?

The level of play isn’t surprising, the fact they put it on stream is.

Hey when you flirt and blow all the organizers and top players I’d expect a stream match at the very least!

I’m just waiting till the Canada cup guys fight ha.

Wait a second you got Sasha Grey as avatar and a quote of her in your sig and at the same time you’re judging Sherry and making fun of her for sucking cocks?

WAT

On believe me I’m not making fun of her.

If I was a pro I’d want the bitch to suck my dick dry too.

The only games where it’s actually a viable career path to play on a professional level are Dota 2, League of Lameasses and Starcraft 2.
2 of those games are accessible by everyone since they’re free to play and the other one is the only balanced and fun real time strategy game on the market being backed by a multi million dollar company who blows God knows what into the e-sports side of things in order to promote it.

Strange way to describe the dull monotony of high-level Starcraft 2. SC2 is the only strategy game on the market, pretty much.
Blizz is losing money on WCS (it doesn’t benefit them the way LCS does Riot), WCS is killing basically all other SC2 tournaments. WCS will end inevitably, boxed product business model + money-losing league isn’t a sustainable recipe. Then you’ve got a dead tournament scene and a boring, monotonous game. Brood War will outlive SC2 in all likelihood, unless the second expansion does some major (and I mean MAJOR) retooling. Given the SC2 dev team being a bunch of arrogant asses and I’m working on the coffin already.

I don’t actually play SC2 cuz Battle.net 2.0 was fucking garbage, but compared to fighting games it’s a fucking hot chocolate cake with tits on top of it (I mean in terms of online play and social interface).

All I heard was that the expansion made the game fun, but yeah I was wondering how they sustain their pro scene with a boxed game.
Thanks for bringing some insight into my ramblings.

They don’t make money of Starcraft. It’s costing them a bunch actually.
Blizzard is no Capcom, but they’re also behind in making their game a successful competitive game on every level. Starcraft 2 without BroodWar’s history backing in it up would have be nothing.

Chris is looking so solid.
In fact every time I see him play he looks like he has improved a little.

Hope he can keep the Ken dream alive.

[HNIC_Mike]

i dunno. i dont like the way he plays. he’s really good, but his style is kinda reckless

just a mid level opinion, but i think that style has a lower ceiling than if he played less balls to the wall

Easyman is making Ryu’s Ultra 2 looking somewhat viable to counter divekicks

[HNIC_Mike]

also floe lacks some things id expect from a top player. dropping combos, no AAs. then he’s missing some yang specific stuff. like he’s letting people neutral jump his dive kicks.

makes me wonder how much he actually practices

[HNIC_Mike]

dammit easyman. why didnt you dp that jesus kick. the world wanted you to dp it

[mapleleafs791]

justin sooooo lucky lol

[ArtVandelay]

Wow that Switzer boy vs. Justin gets my vote for match of the year.

[Komatik]

Easyman really needs to start using those heavy buttons. So much meter used just to throw fast fireballs.

[ArtVandelay]

I hate it when people say that Ultra 2 takes your comeback factor away, since SRK>FADC>Ultra 1 doesn’t rly do that much damage while Ultra 2 takes away jumping from your opponent and does soooo much fucking damage it’s not even funny.

[Noocta]

Well, you can’t Ultra2 with a fireball on screen, so it’s not totally true that you can’t jump on him if he’s using that Ultra

[HNIC_Mike]

sure you can. pretty sure you can test that in training mode.

james chen fooling niggas again

I’m like testing it right now on my PC version. The Metsu Shoryu only come out when the fireball hit the opponent

edit : Okay It’s weird. It comes out with the fireball on screen but it’s very late. I’m not sure if it’s because I underestimate ryu’s fireball recovery or something but there’s definitely something weird to it

nothing wierd. just throw it full screen then mash ultra. if there were a rule, it would only come out after the fireball makes contact

Yeah, it’s just very slow actually.
Full screen away, using a Light fireball, the Ultra comes out only after the fireball is more than halfway on the screen.

[chubbyfingerz]

Easyman is competing?!?!? The swiss guy? He has such a good Ryu. I fought him a couple of times online. It was a massacre.

[Veserius]

he’s out now

[system]

Man jozhear got destroyed again…does that guy ever improve lol.
