Why not make Super the tournament Standard?

Yun (and Yang) aren’t actually broken in the true classic sense of OG FGs. Given.

But their inclusion in the game with their toolset vs the rest of the cast does make you ask yourself “why not play them or someone who at least doesnt get steam rolled by them”. Its a legitimate question that if this game does have life after evo 2012 will be continued to ask.

After getting blown up all weekend by the twins (namely Yun) in local meetups, I’m pretty sure though that was just Ono trying to extend his trolling to the game itself and not just his twits (err tweets). The problem isn’t just the pressure, it’s punishing them when you do make the correct guess. Like why if I neutral jump an EX lunge, Yun is virtually impossible to punish? Ono, stop trolling son…

Calling Hsien Chang random? C’mon. And some may dislike Marn, but he has played the game in Arcades and can play well in general.
So taking out DAIGO, you had Julio only to fit that.

As for ‘why not just play a few dominant characters’, we can ask that question going back to ST.
For whatever reason at any time, people play who they want to play. I doubt in AE we will have 80% Twin/Fei players dominating, but we will see.

LOL @ “randoms” in Revelations Top 8 with the twins.

Hsien… arguably top 10 US player of all-time, and Rom, best Yang in US in 3S are randoms to the stream monster generation.

Gotta love the scene now.

Yo, my bad why don’t you write a SF history book and publish it so we can all study that shit before we finish high school, maybe make it a requisite before graduating; replace “U.S Gov” with " Street Fighter 101 And The House That Valle Built".

Gotta love elitism

Yeah Julio is who I meant, the commentators explained who Hsien was to me, I already knew Rom pre NCR, I’m mostly a MVC head. I don’t know before then I’d never heard of those guys making noise in SF4 but that’s besides my point I’m just saying the Twins are fucking boring to watch. If Japan is any indication theres going to be A LOT more twins action going on in tournaments.

Hahaha that just made my day.

Basically, “I don’t know shit, don’t expect me to know shit.”

With that kind of attitude, how can you not be elitist.

Because that shit sucks bro

I have no real problem with Super (i main abel so maybe im biased a little) and i agree the twins n fei are a problem in AE, but not bad enough to make me wanna prefer super than AE.

Maybe im a masochist, i dont know lololol

Yes, yun and yang building a camp fire with palms is so much better lol.Whats funny is if they twins where thrown in without the nerfs youd have the best of both worlds.And Honda still does the same thing.

Because this is a fucking 3rd strike forum.

Get out of here you fossil.

good thing stream monsters dont count for shit then, huh.

you know you can actually punnish them for doing palms, right? and what is with you niggas making references to fpses

i just noticed that nothing you have said in your past 3 posts makes a bit of sense. you imply that spectators should count for something. call some top players in the community randoms, and make a nonsensical reference to 3s in an attempt to be funny

damn you new srk for not having an ignore button

If we let stream monsters balance a game Dan would be God Tier and they’d delete whatever the current top tier is from the game.

in fact, stream monster is too good of a term. it does a disservice to those who would actually travel to a tourney, but cant for whatever reason.

lets just call’em dumb fucks

Shit why are there more majors now than ever before? Is it because SF4 is the greatest fighter to ever be released? Can’t be because of the streams and the people who watch them, that doesn’t count for shit, huh. You know without stream monsters there wouldn’t be streams right? That is how the world works if you didn’t know…

Anyways instead of focusing on one thing I said, the real purpose of my post was to point out that the Twins are straight up boring to watch and judging by Japan who are 6 months ahead there’s going to be a lot of switching to the twins for tournament players. How can you guys deny NCR as an indication of things to come?

I think the key difference here is that many people actually found NCR quite exciting to watch. I know I did. You shouldn’t just assume that the majority shares the same opinion as you.

who gives a good god damn whats boring to watch. you dont want twins in top 8, go to a tourney and put the fuckers out

and yes, there would still be streams in some form without a bunch of dumb fucks who know nothing about the game watching and typing oni is banned, marn in jail 100x in all caps, like the shit is cute. you think those retards are the ones donating money? get the fuck outta here

there were tourneys and fighting games before the retards came in, and there will continue to be tourneys after the retard populace gets bored and moves to the next installment of CoD. you think the scene needs to keep the dumb fuck population who never go to a local, much less a major? you think the scene needs or cares what someone who refuses to learn anything, and just cries rivers of scrub tears about the twins, thinks about the game.

like i said, good thing stream monsters dont count for shit

Because fighting games as a whole are getting more popular and mainstream. Streams are a result of that, not the cause.

Well that’s my point, you don’t think they tried that in Japan? How are those SBO qualifiers looking like? Also I like how you assume that 15 thousand people all do the same thing because they watch a stream. You think those dumb fucks represent everyone who watches a stream?

You do know you make money off of streaming itself right? What are all those fucking sponsors for that they give shoutouts to during streams also streamers get a cut off of how many viewers they get because the website like justin.tv itself advertises. I’ll tell you this if you replaced Super with paint drying nobody would watch it. That’s all I’m saying.

Maybe the Twins are fun to watch for other people but we’ll see how long that last.

my point is, whats your purpose in complaining about it if you are never going to go anywhere and try to do something about it. i could even understand if you were crying about how you get your ass handed to you by low level bum yuns personally, but youre not even doing that. youre talking about watching. complaining about what the actual players of the game have to deal with, while you sit at home and watch. that shit makes no sense

So streaming is a business, what’s your point? Sponsors are making an extra buck off it, the tournaments aren’t paid by the streams themselves, nor do their fate depend of streaming.

I agree with this completely. Its time we stopped letting the shills like Seth Killian, Ono the troll and their butt buddies that organize major tournaments determine what we in this community should play.
