I don't think so? They're mostly doing LoL, Shadowverse, I think CS:GO?
Wait...I see what you did there...

You're right, it seems a like a lot of e-sports folks refer to themselves as professionals when they don't fit the strict definition of the word. Still, KBR's life revolves around this stuff.
Would recommend waiting for a steam sale. I don't know if there are any performance differences, but all the DLC is included in the Steam version and there's at least a small community for matchmaking in discord/Steam Communities.
Tried out For Honor today, and I'm not sure if I like it enough to buy it at launch. Saw a lot of comparisons to Fighting Games going around, but it feels watered down in a lot of ways, particularly movement. Hope it improves over time, because I really like some parts of the game; it just got old over the course of playing for a day.
the most important lesson one can learn
wtf lol

I saw that Saber is in this game, probably the first character I would try out or main for that matter since she's my favorite character in fate/stay night.
I guess I can wait for steam sale, I do have steam credits to spend.

Saber is some beastly damage. Beam sword super is terrific. Whats great for her are either counter assists to prevent folks from pressuring her or something to lock folks down forever like the Zombie stampede, locusts or ESPECIALLY the dragon assist with the girl screaming a beam super that goes out at an angle locking out jump options and forcing folks to face Saber head on. Outside of that the baseball assist is great for combo extensions because Sabre knocks folks the fuck away too often. Check this one out with baseball assist.

Saber's god tier normals basically let her bully most of the cast for free too.

It's because the KI world finals is on the same weekend.

I don't think asking for a code bothers people in general, but it becomes more of a straw on the camel's back sort of thing due to his poor reputation in the fgc. People really liked KBR when he broke onto the international scene, but it never seems like he's willing to do anything to improve the way people think of him.

West coast warzone is back April 7-9.
The event is also a CPT ranking event.

A balance patch will only switch characters in the tier list. It will still be the same game.

That's pretty awesome.
Same date as Northwest Majors

Buff v-reversales and revert grey damage nerf and it could be better. Or could patch in rolling after throw or command throw (or nerf the throw loops, etc).
give everyone the option to spend v-meter to roll on wakeup

Yeah, but even then a lot of the fundamental complaints would remain. Fireballs still would be bad. Stubby normals would still exist. You know the deal.

Xian and Alioune were talking about the game in this series of tweets.

Heh, only a handful of West Coast events and they both decide to do it on the same weekend.

Admitting to misguided or selfish behavior and then taking positive actions towards the community slowly over time would work just fine. The dude isn't a pariah, people just think he's an ungrateful freeloader. It's not like he's slapping ass and punching people on streams.

so how many ppl you flying out to nwm this year? lol

I haven't been involved with that event since last year. Considering how I've been feeling about the US FGC in general over the last year, I'm not gonna bring any players to any events, heh.
Shouta
Member
Me? Yeah. I haven't been satisfied with the look of any events to spend capital. The ones I am satisfied with don't need it. Lots of communities aren't getting any help growing either which bothers me a helluva lot. I'm all about growing events but doing so for as many communities as possible. Bunch of other things as well but the aforementioned is why I'm not keen on spending energy.
no EVO trips for Q this year

If you guys want to organize, be my guest! =P
Where I am right now, I doubt I'll be going to Evo myself, lol

I should do one of those gofundme things for evo since people are just giving away money 🤔
Kazuki x Zadi and Haaken x Karinchu today: https://www.twitch.tv/joniosan
You know the PC version is a rebalance or two ahead of the console versions, right?

Frosty Faustings, a non-CPT Guilty Gear event from a few weeks ago, reached it's 256 player cap for SF5 well before the event...yet the bigger event FR pre-reg is only around 160.
Translation: it's not about SF5.
All games are looking low this year. Even Tekken...and FR is a big Tekken event.

Really? Shit I owned it and didn't even know. I usually get this info from the facebook group but they went silent on that one. Please say Ruili's kick super is still boss as fuck damage.
This Haaken vs Karinchu set is insane.

No one donated to mine so I don't think it works
You gotta donate a $1000 to get $1000 bruh.
That way you write off the $1000 on your taxes and get the $1000 to replace it.

I think he should use social media more, but in a positive way instead of a way to beg around for free stuff and dismiss other people's contributions. Maybe use his social media to highlight more of the Chilean community to the international audience. Regardless of what people think of him, he's still one of the most followed players from his region and he can use that as a tool for his scene.
Alas.
I was told we ended up finding out it was the same weekend way too late to change dates, and the..odd nature of CPT this year made it so that it would not be as big of a deal this year. Though folks have told me that we are coordinating with WCW on featured games, etc, so that people don't have as hard of a choice to make. People already have their filter on when they see anything he does, so it would take something very out of character and "good" (in terms of the US Marvel Gods) in order for people to even start to change their views on him.
IMO, CPT has super duper screwed the pooch this year. They have basically caused mass havoc with event timing due to what appears to be a lack of coordination as well as indecision on how to run CPT.
This has not been a growth year for the FGC, despite the amount of money being poured in. The money hasn't changed the fact that we can't coordinate or build hype in appropriate ways, and honestly, the aftertaste by many pros of CPT and S2 in SFV has hurt as well. Folks are grinding, but they aren't excited - and that seems apparent. It is hard to grow the community when people don't seem to be having that much fun actually playing the game(s) itself.
I completely forgot to mention that; I never owned the console versions. Only get the Steam version in that case, don't bother with console regardless of price. It was a pretty extensive patch too: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s454/sh/33453005-c52c-4e68-a405-b8b410af55ab/b2a711378519348149b0a3e41105c59e
Haaken won 10-6 was a really good set.

Pretty much, everyone's kinda screwing the pooch right now, lol.
