Then you have those who don't want any of that footsies thing and lament the lack of Fuerte/Viper-like bullshit, or want stupid normals to just throw out, all under the guise of "variety" and "zoning".
Hell I've seen people who wanted the crouch tech OS back too.

Man I hope Capcom Cup nails the presentation down. Even though I like the Capcom pro tour video with the cammy remix, I hope they also do a special video just for Capcom Cup. They know the players well in advance. The players come from 10 different countries. You have all this SF4 history captured in video. There's no reason why they shouldn't try to incorporate all of this.
Look to Topanga for inspiration

This is still fantastic.
My first thought was Daigo mindfucking Gamerbee, but this is better.
I see you're playing on PS4, is it easy to get games on there? No idea what the population was like or how many people moved over to that version. Probably going to bite on the PSN sale going right now, especially since I already have funds in my PS wallet. I'm super fucking terrible/casual so I don't know if that would actually make it easier or harder to get matches if the population is low. I need to break in this FC4 I bought but haven't gotten to really use :/

This should be a good thing imo. Back to basics. SF2T had no parry or dash and it's hardly "simple". Everything from the game is showing a high emphasis on defense. poking, normals. There's even a stun meter. SFV seems a game based wholly around fundamentals. How is this "simple"?

Vulva is just a slut that takes kouhais and throws them out once they beat him in matches. Cindi, come under my tutelage, the salt will make you grow. PM your steam name and you'll learn a very necessary matchup.
All of us here have turned into demons cause of fighting games so it'll happen sooner or later where you'll start talking trash to someone on this thread.
Have I found my partner in crime? My transformation to candiedyams will happen as soon as I absorb cindi. Then go on a cut from all the fat lol
When I hear someone's taste in games, which is already great in my book if tactics and ogre are mentioned, then they already have great taste in many other things.
It'll be Trollento

Since there will be two streams, there should 4 commentators being heard at all times. I'm wondering how the stage will be set up and how player intros will be like due to this.

It's still so amazing to rewatch. I haven't seen it in a while so I laughed pretty hard just a moment ago. Amazing to see just how mind fucked Huw Dawson was. Didn't anti air, didn't punish sweep, constantly trying to hit 1f links when he was frustrated and angry to the max.
Reminds me of the time when I had something similar almost happen to me at a local. That was the angriest I ever was at a tournament despite winning and practically cheesing the other guy back.

So he's a slut? Have you ever dropped a student?
I'll give your prison manga a shot. I love manga anyways if you couldn't tell by my avatar, though it is from an anime. I've heard a lot about it too, so I'm looking forward to it.
XD
This is so flattering.
I didnt even think of this. Will be interesting to see how they handle it.
Nope, your my first student. I was never good at fighting games until I started going to tournaments to get my ass whooped. I couldn't even beat Dahbomb's guile like 8 months ago, now I can beat some of the better players here. Granted, DB doesn't play SF that often.
Edit:
Depending on where you live, going to tournaments helps you improve drastically too. I live in a pretty populated area with NLBC being a train away but others aren't so fortunate so traveling every once in a while is awesome.
If you're into dirty comedy, then go for it. I'm sure you'll know what you're getting into once you read the first chapter.

Just a quick thought on Capcom Cup. Part of me thinks that all the winners of the Premier tournaments(including the returning champ) should automatically be seeded 1-16 and in the order of their total points with the remaining 16 being those that didn't win a automatic qualifier. That way right off the bat the guys who won those tournaments or finished high enough to earn the automatic bid will avoid each other off the bat and only face guys that qualify via points. This IMO makes earning a automatic bid even more important. Obviously it's too late this year but I hope they explore this idea for next year.

Going to my first tournament this weekend actually.
I'm about to start up SFIV again. Then I'll do a sesh with Vulva, and then with you. I sent a PM!
Smash 4 at Xanadu. Over 100 entrants tonight!

You mean dreamhack? If that is the case, play as many top players as you can. And yeah I received, we'll hopefully play tonight unless I fall asleep.
Make them cry as you beat them.

5 months later, they are still Smash players who have a hard time against Ryu.

If anything, it actually teaches you footsies better than the other characters in Smash 4 imo. Sure mario is a valid argument, but with Ryu's long normals, it makes it much easier to pick up. Plus his recovery is crazy lol.
He still booty though

ive noticed that smash players use the word "meta" with reckless abandon.

Smash players don't know how to stop wake up SRK, and its simultaneously hilarious and sad. I had to explain to my roommate how to punish and bait me out.

EDIT: ROFL @ a yoshi main complaining about any character's aerial normals.
Smash players in general misuse most terms with reckless abandon.
Toxic, meta, neutral, viable, jank, gimmick, you name it, and it's not exclusive to random scrubs either, the top guys are just as guilty and cringe inducing in their ways.

Calling an exhibition match in the venue a "salty suite."

For those that don't pay attention to the Indivisible IGG campaign, MikeZ laid out a document of features the full game will have, and it included perfect blocking (basically, parries) - very exciting. I wish every RPG had this feature.
My hypothesis is that Yoshi is such a goddamn brainless character that the people who play him have no idea how to actually play the game. They're so used to smashing away with their face at will without consequence.
I'm glad only Smash players do this.

"Meta" is commonly misused, the weird thing that Smash players specifically used to do was naming all kinds of shit after themselves.
The funniest part is how mad some Smash players get when you tell them what the salty suite actually is supposed to be.
"BUT THAT'S NOT HYPE!" Somebody actually told me that after I talked about EVO's Salty Suite that Redbull sponsored.

I thought that was what they were gonna do from the start as well. Made so much sense.

I remember TKBreezy occasionally using common FGC terms over Smash lingo in commentary where applicable. Then people got mad at him.
Meta is stuff that happens outside of the match, strategy is what happens inside. Most metagaming in fighting games revolves around character selection and which options are known before you get into the match. Even then, that is using the newer definition of the term so people will argue it.

Sagat is the actual pocket character? Not Elena?
