My only gripe with this is that all of this could have been avoid if #TKNY was used and just exclude "of".

That's a good suggestion. Don't know if it will get changed, but worth discussing.

I missed KONY (had to go grocery shopping and take care of my cousins), but damn this is some slick stuff. NYC always had strong iconography to tap into and seeing it used like this makes me weirdly feel a sense of "home town" from it all.

The Notifuro shirt is sick. It was an instant buy for me. The Twin Towers along with Ken doing a HP SRK (the torch, get it) in place of the Statue of Liberty (and mind you, from that perspective, he matches her pose) are such amazing touches that it had to be bought.

Additionally, I feel it's instilling a nice sense of hunger into the scene, a lot of pieces are coming together (personalities, level of play, presentation) that make me proud of the NYC FGC.

Has anyone here seen my recent SF4 streams? Do you have any constructive criticism for me?
I have no criticism of your streams because I haven't seen them yet. A lot of gaffers has been talking your stream up and now I'm interested. So I have a suggestion; why not make like short videos on YouTube that's the cliff notes version of your stream?

Because the "cliffs notes" version doesn't exist, not for what I'm trying to explain.

I'm not trying to say explain the entire concept in a shortened youtube video but if your goal is to teach then I see no disadvantage in using that to bridge people to your streams. Also if you're someone like me I usually can't catch every stream ever. I'm usually in class or at work when I'm posting on gaf which means I can't consume your streams every time you go live. At the very least you can put the archives on youtube with some edits. It's just a suggestion. If I can go on Khan academy and learn physics concepts in a 10 minute video then it's hard for me to believe that I can't learn about the rules of a video game in the same time span or less.
 

I'm a man who is understanding of the trials and tribulations of hair loss. I myself have a thinning dome, and a hairline that is also retreating from the frontlines of my forehead. I get it. I understand it.

But man, if anyone needed to just take a razor to their dome, it's this commentator on the Project M stream right now.

Maybe rock a flat cap. Or a baseball cap. Or fill in the weird geographical blank spots on that follicle map with the spray-on hair or something.

Unless he's trying to keep his head looking as well landscaped as the Battlefield stage.

Nintendude vs ChuDat Ice Climbers mirrors... Wow.

And yeah, that commentator needs a cap.

This matchup is one of my new favorite matchups in anything ever. It looks hilarious and really really interesting too. That one setup Chu closed the last set out with was whoa.

Crowd was way too salty about the wobbling. With that matchup the real meat is getting rid of the opposing Nana.

And yeah, that setup was sick.

God Winter Soldier was so unrealistic he didn't double jump and didn't even use Charging Star once even though he was constantly faced with projectiles wtf

My favorite movie of the year so far
How did you miss
him Charging Star-ing through the Gatling Gun bullets? Rocket Raccoon is so fucked in MvC4

One thing I forgot to mention is that winner of the Versus Gaming tournament gets sponsored to MLG Anaheim, which helps explain the turnout. Hungrybox, Colbol, Porkchops and others still in the bracket. Colbol up now.

Also VS gaming center has one of the dopest setups I've ever seen. This could be one of the premier FG spots in the country in the future. I'll have pics up in the future.

I thought it was top 3 get sponsored?

also Chillin took out Mango, DAMN
 
Seriously, if any Marvel movie is going to actually put a super meter onscreen, it's gonna be Ant-Man.

Took 3 Iron Man movies before we finally got a single Unibeam.

Sure. Do you have an index though?
If I can go on Khan academy and learn physics concepts in a 10 minute video then it's hard for me to believe that I can't learn about the rules of a video game in the same time span or less.
LOL

As a student of physics this is the worst analogy ever. Wait until they stop holding back and you need to learn how to quantify things on your own. From what I understand, Juicebox is attempting to go similarly in-depth and not just cover the basics.

I was taking physics classes in college and when I got injured and couldn't physically attend classes I used Khan academy to study up and review the concepts I missed. Long story short I walked out of that class with an A. Basically I'm not expecting you to become a seasoned physician through 10 min tutorials but it's entirely possible to give a primer of the concepts through a short youtube videos. Shouldn't be that hard to do for Street Fighter. I'm not asking Juicebox to stop streaming and make youtube videos but they would compliment his streams like the Khan Academy class complemented my studies. Also you're not going to become a top player either by watching any street fighter video no matter how long or short like how you aren't going to get your PHD in physics doing the same so this point is moot.

Teach me your secrets on how to be a godlike student pls

Calculus 2 kicks everyone's ass. The only reason I made an A in that class is because I exerted so much effort into studying that I pretty much didn't have a weekend life. Well, having Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry all in the same semester was the worst decision I made thus far.

Just keep at it, don't stress. Just keep the phrase 'At least Calc 3 isn't this bullshit"

Cal 2 got in my ass too :( . Basically scheduling helps. So like for X amount of hours you dedicate to studying nothing but Cal 2 stuff for how many days a week you can spare or feel you should dedicate to the subject. Just gotta practice and stick to the schedule. Hit up your professor too during his or her office hours for additional help.

you should always take orgo by itself, class is hell. it gets to the point where you start to see signs as molecules and elements.

when i say by itself, i meant not to double up on the major sciences (chem, bio, physics, p. chem, inorganic, etc.), work load is a lot and at my school organic chemistry = orgo.

i read posts like these and wonder why i bother reading neogaf fgw sometimes...

Ah, that's excellent. I'm eager to see the full extent of Hugo's armor cancelling abilities, like if he can cancel his armor into command-throws, ultras, other specials...gah, it's times like these where I really just want to jump into training mode, but the game isn't out for consoles yet. :[

Regardless, this information makes me very happy.

yeah i think thats where the application would be most relevant...armor cancelling a clash from ground normal to ground normal into a special...and maybe to counter air chains

Could someone type out the mid screen Fly BnB Champ and Neo do for me? It's time drop ROM for good. It's impossible to do consistently in this game.

Kinematics is cake, unless they pretended calculus isn't involved then it just becomes dumb. Although even then, you probably don't get a good handle on newton's third law until later on.

Also you're not going to become a top player either by watching any street fighter video no matter how long or short like how you aren't going to get your PHD in physics doing the same so this point is moot.
Seth Killian wrote an article about this subject once, saying how players today don't understand how they have an absolute gold mine of information in high level videos if they would just watch them intelligently.

I don't disagree but you still have to physically practice, attend session etc to be on point.
