I went to Niagara Falls for New Years, it was cold and wet and Nelly Furtado is really bad live.

But I won like $1800 at the Casino, so HAPPY NEW YEAAAAARRR. /bed

I was going to brag about my $300 win at the casino, but fuck 1800.

Casino was totally packed with rachet ass hood rats though. : (

I learnt that in the fight between Buu and Cell's U2s...nobody wins.

Fight of the forever.

Everyone should get the PC version. Mods makes the game more enjoyable besides better online and everything. I have so many alts right now. All are good. And I'm going to learn and make some myself. Been wanting to make a certain person for a while now. But yeah, this makes me realize that all fighters should have a PC version. Games like KOFXIII and MK deserves to have better online play to expand their communities.


Topanga guys are playing some AE. Bonchan jumping on the Akuma wagon too along with Sanford and Chris G. He says he's not sticking with him though, just playing for fun. Sagat is the only one for him.

Also online seems to have a lot more Akumas. I wonder why.

Can anyone help convince my dad not to sell off his Mad Catz stock? He bought during the Rock Band/Guitar Hero craze, and we all know how that turned out.
 
Happy New Year folks.

Will 2013 be the year of SFxT? Discuss.

On the one hand it is getting close to as much of a new game as UMvC3 was, minus the new characters. On the other, the game is currently deceased...

There seems to be a few FGC members who love the game and believe the patch will resolve a lot of the issues.

Personally, I think the game is fundamentally flawed and will never be heralded as a great fighting game.

Daigo and Yipes get placed in GamesRadar's list of Gaming Folk Heroes.

How many top players can convincingly play random select in their chosen games?
in marvel? Justin, Rog, Chris G, and Combo could probably do well with random select in marvel 3.
Generally people who are really knowledgeable about entire game would have a higher degree of sucess. I would agree with Justin, Rog, Chris G, RayRay probably Yipes because he's aware of many of the sleepers in the cast. A lot of other ignorant players like FChamp and pick a top tier top players, probably not.

I wasn't aware that Skullgirls for the PC was available for pre-order already.

"Release: Q1 2013"

We'll see.
Has it even been announced or is this retailers jumping the gun WAY ahead of time?

Just did a quick video shouting out anyone who supported my stream/youtube this year, thanks and happy new year

Is it just me or was there no GAF mention? :( Still watched though. Shout outs to all you've done for the community, and communitites.

Listening to this next, thanks for posting!

Only the FGC has the balls or stupidity (pick one) to use blown up post September 11th that's for sure.
Can't say I cosign this level of sensitivity, but then again I'm Canadian.

Drinking a lot, Enzo?
A little bit of that, a lot more love.

I went to Nathan Phillips Square and all I got was some shitty Shawn Desman. I didn't even know he was more than a one/two hit wonder.

Another great episode. Can't wait for the next.

Pretty much this. Also, I feel it's too late to reconvert people back, especially considering the increased pace at which fighting games are being released now, and you can also be sure more will be announced very soon for 2013 or early 2014 release. SFxTK's time and chance has passed, unless v2013 is made of miracles.

Well, since there's nothing else new for a good while after this: folks are going to give it a chance- so it can succeed, including folks looking for something new. I don't think it will work, the gem system fatally flaws the game- it's too annoying.

just peeped the archives for No Mercy Fridays... how in the hell does crazy drunk keep losing to airegin and airegin to renzo in VF?

w/e - im just glad renzo is punishing shit :)
 
I was thinking something like, someone makes "FGC-GAF" or something, then everyone adds that gamertag. from there, people can view "FGC-GAF"s friends list and see who's playing a fighting game and join... iunno

This has been done for individual games but eventually gets clogged up with people who don't play a month from now. I actually think this would work better in the context of FGC-GAF rather than individual games.
 
Ok looking for a little input on my marvel team

Point mags, em disruptor
Second doom, missiles
Anchor vergil, rapid slash

Is that a decent order and assist choice? I feel like I can mix up the order a couple of different ways but I like having doom second for 50/50 reset or tac via mags, and up ball super dhc off tempest kills most characters in one touch. But I like vergil second too since after dhc to swords I get easy mode left right with mags.

Also, (looking at dahbomb) can anyone point me to a vergil primer with most of his bnbs off various situational converts, which buttons are good, and how to do sword loops? A tutorial vid or guide would be nice.

That's probably a better question for the umvc3 OT. Anyway that's a good team. CJ Showstopper plays it but for some reason he uses Doom rocks. I think any order works well for it besides putting Doom first.
 
Is that assist any good? Serious question.

It's ok, but Doom's other two assists are so monstrous that it's hard to justify using it. It does have a ton of active frames, and a massive hitbox if you set it up right. Also one of the few projectile-nullifying attacks in the game even if it's hard to use that way. Generally one of the other two is going to be better for most things you'd want to use it for.

Notably, however, it's the only assist that gives you Sphere Flame in THCs, which is worth consideration with certain characters and it's arguably his best crossover counter. It also makes certain things more difficult for Doom on point.

It's a very good assist but like stated it's overshadowed by Doom's other assist. Doom's Plasma Beam is top 3 best projectile assist in the game and Missiles is THE best assist in the game. Rocks is good because it can be used for some combo extensions, allows for some lock down and provides good protections around the point characters from pesky teleporters.

It's actually a very good assist for Vergil but then again so are the other two assists.
 
I'd have to test it and I don't have access to training mode right now, but I think Rocks could do a lot of interesting things for Wesker with the right team set up.

In the mags/doom/vergil order, it's pretty much a better version of fchamp's team, since vergil is just a better less resource-intensive phoenix. You can mess around with order- mags/vergil/doom is pretty similar to chris g's team and he gets a lot of mileage out of vergil backed by missiles. No matter how you do it, doom probably won't contribute much on point as he needs fairly specific assists to excell there that you won't have- he's mostly there for support.
