Anyone ever get the feeling that Arturo is grooming himself to one day replace Sp00ky?

But will it stick?
Catherine had some time in the sun as well, but then folks moved on. My hunch is that Gundan Extreme Versus will tell a similar story, though I would be glad to be wrong. Maybe, with the advent of Smash Bros at Evo, the community will sample some different foods.
Sanford, Rahsaan, and Jago came to Little Rock a few years ago for a gaming con. I remember sitting on a couch with Sanford and some random cosplayer chick and talking about Bleach.

Gundam doesn't have a wide release in the US so it's going to be hard to get new folks to play. It retains players well though.
It's outside of the skill scope for most competitive players though. It focuses on way more and way different things than most FGs do. That makes it hard for casual folks to jump in without spending a little bit of time adjusting to the style. It's really easy to play but it's a really foreign style.
I like the kid with the bowl cut because he reminds me of somebody.
Until proven otherwise.
There was that video where they all sit around a table and act out as Bleach characters or something. And I noticed him on mic talking about Bleach a lot.

Gundam is sort of like Smash in that, they have their own dedicated scene but there aren't that many players that cross over.
There were a lot of Gundam-only players that were at SCR that didn't play any other games. I don't really think it matters much if Gundam thrives in the FGC. It'd be nice if there was more mingling, but their scene doesn't really need ours.
Fun Fact: The game is the #1 most popular game in Japanese arcades, last time the game got dethroned was like the first month of vanilla P4U.

The number of good (for the US) Gundam players that cross-over is probably in the single digits. The ones that do cross-over with ArcSys games. I'm the only one that crosses over to SF and 3D games, lol.

REO typically beats him and out places him at majors, like he just did at Final Round.
Do you include NJ with NY? Cause then the best is Jupiter.

Didn't DBFC out of all games temporarily upset it when it first came out?

It's always temporarily and depends on where the data is getting pulled from.

How much does it play like Zone of the Enders PvP?
REO hardly shows up anywhere so I forgot he existed. Alright Rico is the best player in NY that goes to Next Level! Even on paper, you can't really say someone is the best player if they don't go out and prove it. Like I would say Daigo is the best SFIV player in the world but he doesn't go out much to prove so as of right now it's a toss up since Infiltration has apparently caught the Iverson bug.

It's closer to VOOT in style and play but with simple controls, bigger arenas, and a better balance between shooting/melee. ZOE VS mode was basically run around and melee each other, occasionally shooting a laser, no?

REO just went to Final Round and placed 5th while Rico failed to place. He then won a Break weekly and a Next Level, beating Rico in the process.
Next Level is basically dead again anyway. All those guys go to The Break, which Jupiter is currently dominating.
RoI should have a bigger scene for the EXVS system than Gundam simply because it's not an expensive import only game.
Whether that scene has any crossover with the FGC or not is an open question.
Who do I gotta stalk to get RoI alpha invites?!

I think Marvel is dead there but Injustice is big there. Decent turnout and strong competition every week.
I think the light and medium counter into his launcher.
Whats everyone's Live / Steam names? Mine is Ryuc601999 on both.
I should be on later tonight as well.
L counters high and M counters low. (All three versions, as well as super counter, are 5f startup.)

Mid/high and low.
I don't know how ZOE vs. was supposed to be played. I just messed around in it against my sister as a kid. Lots of pewpew followed by sword fights. I meant more about the control and feel than the balance.

It'd still be closer to VOOT than ZOE as I recall. lol

I really need to start playing Gundam more. Once Sega Cup is over I'll probably pick it back up. That is, if FFXIV doesn't keep disintegrating all of my free time.
It's lonely on Diabolos, please halp.
I think I remember playing vanilla D3 with you (Vanilla players are like PTSD victims, Jay Wilson shouldn't have doubled it), unless that's someone else. I don't remember your account name though since there are a lot of people who haven't logged on forever in my friends list.
Oh I've never played D3. Diabolos is a FFXIV server, if that's what you were referring to.

Okay then, someone used to play a barb named soakrates, I guess either you have a fan or lots of people like the Bill and Ted pronunciation of Socrates.
