Any not-terrible <$50 capturing options out there? Don't really need HD capturing or anything.
This should have been a Marvel joke to rub salt in the wound. Missed opportunity really.

One day before FR my ISP has major nation wide problem that makes it impossible to watch twitch streams (even on 240p) so that sucked, but now I'm finally caught up with the vods.
Really great event, Spooky and co did a great job stepping up the production from last year's.
Too bad all the GFs for the last 3 games were hype-less one way stomps.
Can't wait till NCR or whatever the next big event is.

One of the responses was better. It was like "Haunts, you can't solve all your problems by sleeping through them".

The DBZ Cpu vs cpu tournament was more hype than majority of the GF at final round.
People don't know just how serious that trailer is!

I always get stuttering when I watch twitch archives. I just pause and unpause a bunch. I think it it has to load up the buffer, as it is loading the whole 12 hour archive, I think.
But I left the window open all night and watched the AE top 8 this morning, and there was still stuttering here and there. Who knows.

That's actually pretty good for SCV, all things considered, although the community is stronger in the midwest and east coast.

Da beech needs to sequester. FGC budgets getting out of control.
I think you have to talk to EG about that.

Its still pretty crazy considering Capcom themselves was giving out 25k for SFxT and SF4 at the 25th anniversary tournament. (And the car too, yeah, but still)
The prize pots are too damn high!

That tweet seems very festive to me. 50k match for 3 people that haven't been playing the game at all. I highly doubt it.....but it would be super HYPPEEEEE.

These are the same dudes who are flying out Shang Tsung from the first MK movie just to reenact a scene with fucking Tom Brady. Wouldn't be surprised if the 50k match isn't a joke.

Yesterday or i guess technically today ~2am they were playing MVC2 money matches at the salty suite.
Neo and some other dude with a serv bot costume was playing money matches and neo won around $1000 in a first to 10 wins. He told the entire Lando story about the Paleta cart, shit was so hilarious.
Jwong, Ricky, and Fchamp were also at the suite playing MVC2.

Oh yeah, that's worse, wont see him until EVO I guess.
Conversely, do too many new games hurt the industry? People are invested in what they are invested in. They give the new game a twirl and then toss it aside, probably not investing in DLC or later iterations either. We still see WB, Capcom, ASW, Namco and more sponsoring tournaments to this day.
And the big boys are making big games. Injustice is coming out this year, Namco put out both a Soul Calibur AND a Tekken game last year, SFxTK came out last year and we know Capcom has 2+ major fighting games in development. I think there is some truth to the genre being saturated right now, but it's more of a problem for publishers than it is for consumers.
I also disagree that PCs are the future. Again, a logistical nightmare when it comes to also needing a kb/m to set up everything and much more. The idea of fighting games on PCs will become even more ridiculous as Sony (and maybe MS) introduce more streamlined distribution platforms on consoles, blurring the lines between what you can do on PC and what you can do on consoles. Not like it mattered much because the market is on the consoles first anyways. But Capcom have already said they don't see themselves releasing fighting games without PC ports in the future, so that's hope for PC gamers (alongside the architecture of next gen consoles being port-friendly).
Will update OP when I get time, thanks.
This is even funnier knowing haunts is a Capcop.
Thats a fucking insane amount of money, I wouldn't date guess that high.
Goddamn every time I hear about VxG money hats I just keep thinking about how terrible of an investment it is and how there are a million better ways to spend that marketing money.

Yipes is Puerto Rican, isn't he?
Juicebox is Puerto Rican, but he doesn't have much a Marvel career. Counterexample found.
I thought it was Injustice: Gods Among Us |OT| But None In the Art Department

Moons is also PR
Oops you're right.
But yea these islands not only got sick ass baseball players but also marvel. ;D
Biggest thing I came away from this Final Round is how hungry and amazing NYC scene is ATM. RayRay & Moons came into their own this tournament and impressed the hell out of me on how fast they both have levelled up since I seen 'em get bodied by Champ few months back when he was at the house of crack.
Norcal scene is still super strong but more of their top players need to make the trip to these majors.
Socal I still think is pretty damn weak hopefully more of their player base start getting hungry again.
Edit:
Wow really? That is pretty godlike.

Injustice: Gods Among Us |OT| Needs more Rorschach

Yeah, I'd love to see Drew Grimey at more events. And you're right, Moons and RayRay both performed really well this weekend. New York is the place to beat right now.
Watchmen isn't part of the normal DC universe though. I'm assuming that's why they're not included.
I really dislike the "We don't want to pay for a new version!" thing. This came up with Skullgirls, where people were going to be upset if they labelled a post-DLC update with 4 new chars as "Skullgirls 2." Yes, there are specific cases where there should have been a X-Pack instead of a brand new IP (UMvC3), but the most important thing keeping more FGs being produced isn't how many people enter EVO, it's how many people buy the game. (And in fact, I think MadCatz is actually the most important force w/r/t the tournament scene, since they actively benefit directly from having more players in the competitive scene, since they sell the peripherals and aren't locked down with a single IP.)
The constantly bodying by ChrisG has leveled up NY. Even if they don't all use top tier teams, they basically perform the same as everyone else (which is getting top 8 at a stacked major). If Yipes played at NLBC more his play would've improved as well especially in a tournament setting.
Norcal needs to overhaul their team selection greatly. They basically are in a vortex of playing against the same old meta game over and over again.

Rorschach is too awesome to be associated with the rest of DC.
I'd buy a Watchmen fighting game in a HEARTBEAT though. I think there's a ton of potential in those characters too.
