Also, R. Mika tag is the 7 colored bomber.
I just realized that her hairs is longer now, compare to Alpha version.

SG died, so that Smash could finally integrate with the FGC and it was a valid trade. Gotta say that I practically lost all interest in fighters outside of netplay and locals at that point unfortunately. SFV is the most hype thing since that research drive and the SG IGG campaign.

Agreed. We've all grown. I know I certainly am not the same guy I was when I first arrived. Hell I've even sent Beardo multiple PM's on software over the years in hopes he'll follow his gaming passion into making his own game someday too. We all say things, but we all grow up.
Also agreed...I was so tired of hearing folks run the whole "smash isn't a fighting game" line. That and "fuck anime" both hurt us all in my opinion.
Doesn't matter what this thread was though. Now it has to figure out what it is going to be. So many conversations were "joked" out of play that many really good topics and such got snuffed out of the thread in their infancies. So many that it probably accounted for why the only activity after awhile was just folks off topic cornballing around. For awhile, I'd considered trying to do an Anime FGW thing, but in the end I knew that I just don't keep up with streams enough to offer much to folks and since I was already having to leave Test Your Might which I was heavily vested in due to my busy life (and an obvious conflict of interests), it was an idea that I just had to let go.
Talk about everything. Promote news of who did what and where in ANY scene, and try to put forth a better face is all I think we can do at this point. No matter where the thread ends up, these things would help keep it full of content and allow more folks to gain an interest in the thread and join it compared to how things were.
I guess thats all I had to say at this point. I got work in 6 hours so I need to sleep. Good luck folks.
Ah, I see.
Also, R. Mika tag is the 7 colored bomber.
They showed Sakura in each of those pics... Sakura is in. Karin is in. Urien is in. Oro is in.
Time is a hell of a drug.

That tag is kinda weak
We can still make some good of this situation, provided we put in the effort.
We're encouraged to make new threads on tournaments, player news, patch information, and so on.
Now I'm not saying we should (or can) make new threads for every little local or every time FChamp is a jerk or something, but there are lots of things we can create new threads for, but we keep in here.
Like we never make new threads for Big E events, despite them being bigger events and having international presence. We rarely have threads about international tournaments, and almost never if they're not playing Capcom games (I'm actually gonna contradict this later, but whatever).
Now take a look at how proactive the Super Smash Bros community has been.
They make threads for players getting sponsored, players putting up bounties, and lots of smaller tournaments as well. These new threads draw in lots of new people, most I never see here. Maybe they're all in the Super Smash Bros. thread, I dunno, but we can clearly see the effect of those.
So basically, someone make a thread for Summer Jam or something.

Yeah, I don't think being in gaming side as a crutch is necessarily why this thread should be there. Right now this weekly thread has elements of both Gaming and Community, and if it were moved permanently to Community, then I would expect that aspect of it to take over.
That is not necessarily what I use the thread for, however. Most of the time I come into this thread is when I see it on the main page and wonder if there's any new news. As far as I can tell, my posting habits in this thread are mostly news/discussion related and not community related, although the line is really blurred in this case as they are very much intertwined and connected.
I see it like this: would you put every weeky Jimquisition thread or Final Bosman (although they usually just post them in the Final Bosman thread which is still in gaming side) or Last Week Tonight segment thread into one megathread and tell them to keep it in Community? I don't think I would.
This thread is more signal than noise. Especially with the stream links, news information links, and updates, it serves as a hub that is more space-effective than a bunch of little threads that get lost in the actual noise of pointless threads. It's much easier, and suited for discussion, to be able to reference multiple news stories that span different games in their genre in this one thread.
At any rate, I can see the arguments for putting this in Community and honestly they do have a point. However, there is still a point to be made for the other aspects of this thread that keep it situated as a good source of easily accessible, multi-referencing info and news discussion for both lurkers and regulars.
I think what differentiates the fighting game genre to others (in other words, why there is a better case for a "fighting games weekly" as opposed to a "MOBA games weekly" or a "JRPG games weekly" or a "FPS games weekly", is that most of the streaming and media events involve multiple games and are about the genre as a whole. The other genres are much too big to cover multiple games at once, and their events usually just focus on one game. Aside from MLG stuff and a few other esports events.

I don't think I've ever discouraged discussing any game here. I know I used to argue a lot about Tekken, but they were discussions I brought up and were trying to have about the game. I still believe all of the things I've said about that game, too. I just don't care about discussing it as much these days.
I'll likely make a thread about Summer Jam and the HK CPT event.
Fair warning, any tournament thread I make is likely going to be CPT and Ultra heavy because that is the main game (outside of SFV) that I am following at the moment. If anybody else wants to highlight any other tournaments for other games like Smash, Xrd, etc. Tell me and I'll add it for the weekend tournament thread.

I'm glad that someone actually have a positive attitude about the situation. Let make our community little more stronger and more proactive.
I thought this was obvious with no delayed knockdown? If the timing is done right in SF4, you can still get a couple unblockables, which is annoying as hell lol

It wasn't directly, it's attitudes towards certain things that snowball and people tend to just want to not talk about it again as they are going to be met with the same things again. Personally I never gave a damn about posters doing stuff like that but others get discouraged.
You mean SFV?
Karsticles
Member
Ah, fair enough then.
No SF4, you can still get unblockables but the timing is really tight and character specific. Cammy has one on a couple characters lol. SFV clearly has that unblockable setup if the person doesn't tech.
Edit:

I have made the Summer Jam, HK CPTA Qualifier, SCR Prelude II, X-MANIA XVI, PAX PRIME Smash Tournament thread.

I was going to include Momochi and Chocoblanka's Offline party, but that isn't a tournament.

Sorry, didn't realize you were going to do that. If I knew, I would have left those out so you can give them the care they deserve. I made a mega thread to show people this is what we talk about in this thread when there's actual tournaments.
Edit: That, and I wanted to see if people use the thread for discussion. We'll see.
Jiyuna maximizing his anime CPM. We're... getting slightly closer to making it?
To be fair, I don't think the latter two events would see much traffic, and Xmania is happening at a completely different time of the day anyway. I think having these "weekend warrior" threads for events makes sense outside of the biggest tournaments (like Evo and Capcom Cup finals, and the former needs multiple threads as it is).
Talk about moving back to gaming is pretty pointless- it's quite unlikely at this point. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. If a couple months from now the threads have far fewer posts/views than before- we'll know we need to do something or we're in trouble. If posts/views don't change much, than it'll he obvious we were overreacting. (Keeping it weekly rather than monthly would make it easier to compare pre and post- community eras for sure)
Nah, I think this way is probably better. Could encourage people who'd normally only be interested in Summer Jam give SCR and Xmania a look too.
I totally forgot there was going to be a Smash tourney at PAX too.
Edit: @Kumubou Ha, yeah I agree. This was the better way to go. Also, I was totally wrong about the pot bonuses. Was thinking of another event and got confused.
Yeah, if that's true, tell me and I'll update the OP. Thanks.
Nah, I was thinking about this tweet I saw earlier which is for a Canadian tournament (and the pot bonus is 33k not 13k). Got things mixed up, my bad.

I honestly stopped the anime van because it stared feeling mean. I still don't like anime not understand how it is seemingly all consuming. I will be the first to admit that the anime fighters bring the hype and show the dedication that I not only respect but appreciate watching.
Never meant to hurt people or you Q. I will continue to support your dream to go to EVO and agree to the gameplay of GG and BB but disagree with the silliness of character design.
If you guys want me to stop posting in here or I bring a negative contribution I will stop. I can and will go back to being a family man.

H-how dare you call Zato silly.
Really, though, don't leave.
Q is just saying that some folks might take the jokes people make about games seriously, and they could become discouraged. Anyone who reads frequently knows it's a gag, though. You're all in on that anime.Karsticles

Glad it was helpful!
We'll have to play when you feel you are ready.
I could watch this gif a million times and not be bored lol.
I am so hype about Mika.
for all the wrong reasons
All the guy had to do to get out of it was quick rise which could be done by hitting any punch or kick button as you get knocked down (I think) so I don't think that's too applicable. But nice to see it done in a real match.

Same! Too bad we'll probably have to wait til the second or third beta to play her
Hmmm?

I'd be happy to get to play any of the newly announced before launch.
One thing I'm surprised about is Capcom committing to using a mostly fleshed out character model for Nadeshiko just to use it as an add on for R. Mika.
Outside of some goofy wrist action, and maybe some flourish in her face, she looks like could be a separate character.
Odds on her being DLC?

It wasn't even that since off topic stuff inevitably happens in all/most threads in existence. FGW had been running for 5 years and obviously had approval otherwise it would have been nuked immediately.
When you have people criticizing mod decisions from a completely unrelated thread and posting about anal sex for banned members then shit's going to happen.
Now here we are.

Judging by the Mika thread, a lot of people want her as an alt, and have Mika be the partner.
