Understood.
Now I'm questioning YOUR hearing.Richer then. Geez.
It's not about the beginning though, the instrumentation in general is better. Ultimate sounds like they took it and ran it through a MIDI sequencer with the main riff set to the most tinny sounding sample they could find.
It's always been on his channel ever since they converted over to doing a live show from the Wednesday podcast. I don't know why they don't just make a channel specifically for WSRK, especially to make it easier for people to find the channel, but whatever. You can go to the channel now and see that it's already updated for tonight's episode.
Cap, Task and Nova's themes are S Tier, they rank up there but not quite at the top of FG themes.
Am I the only one who liked quite a few songs from the SFIV soundtrack? I think I am.
EDIT: ^ I'd quote you but that's too much work on mobile, but thanks Malice. Will change ASAP.

UMVC3's UI was a really unfortunate case of "different just for the sake of being different." Vanilla MVC3 already did everything so well aside from the x-factor indicator being a little hard to see.
SF x TK Ver. 2013 update videos part one put together by Combofiend and myself.
You know, as an SNK fan it was kinda painful to see you get that Capcom position after doing a fine job helping put KoF XIII in the spotlight, but I'm glad at least they're not taking issue with you using a Kyo avatar over here - I hope that sticks around in the very least until CvS2 gets released on european PSN, hopefully beyond that too.
True fact: No Capcom employee can play KOF on public.
No wonder Combo's playing so much Marvel.
King now does 220 damage off a counter! TAKE THAT SOCIETY!
Apex 2013 tournament breakdown. Dat schedule. Dat game lineup.
Haha.
King is gonna be a beast. Of course I always thought he was, part of the problem is people wanted to play him like a grappler which just wasn't going to work.

Will Pokemon Black/White 2 be streamed?

Why is Brawl the main event when the Smash community dislike Brawl? That would be like us putting SFxT as the main event at EVO.

Apex was a Brawl tournament first, then included both that and Melee.
Actually I almost went one year.
Also there are people that just play Brawl and stuff.

He was a grappler without the grappler damage, now he's good to go, finally
Why am I discussing cross tekken here and nobody is punching me in the face? Feels weird...

Because everyone likes the idea of SFxT. We just didn't like how it turned out... so SFxT theory talk is welcomed. SFxT viewing... is not.
Yea, I agree. I really think v2013 can make this game more spectator friendly, but it will take some time until people forget all the vanilla crap

I wish they could patch out the game being fucking ugly and gaudy. Especially that one stage with the E Honda truck and the happy hardcore.

No Project M?
I like the game but yea...the stages and music are pretty bad.
Cmon man! The Pandora and the Antartica stages are awesome! The one with the Blanka and E Honda trucks I have too agree, I hate everything in there (Blanka included)
They were neat for a little while, then I just found them annoying.

Also, the neon custom colors. It's like they're making shit ugly on purpose.
I think I caught the OCD from the Pandora stage.

holy shit. Julia got nerfed a shit ton. I agreed with the backdash and slightly nerfing the speed of her super but nerfing her DP (which was throwable) and her cr. LK on top of nerfing her health?
Couldn't they atleast buff her f. HP so that its an overhead? Shit looks like its an overhead.

As someone who works with the APEX staff and hosted a Road to APEX event, I'll try to answer some of your questions:
Its not a main/side event type of deal. Brawl matches take a lot longer than other games so it is saved for last. The 128 man Melee bracket will reduce to top 8 faster than Brawl will.
The first APEX was a Brawl + Melee event. Its always been dual game.
Project M has a 32 man invitational tournament. It will be recorded, not streamed.

A good amount of Julia players were just abusing her amazing range on the LK, and almost ignoring all of her's potencial. I agree with this nerf, and Capcom is sending us a message by making all DP xx switch's VERY unsafe, we need to punish a LOT more!

They were abusing it because LK could be chained but they significantly lowered the damage off a chain so it already got a nerf. Her close range game is definitely lacking now with the changes. If would all be fine if F. HP was an overhead. Just enough to force people to stop down-backing against julia.
Another reason to lobby for CvS3.
I'm dissapointed after watching those videos and realizing a (recent) Capcom employee can't pronounce "Ryu" properly.

Bummer. I'm not much for competitive Smash but I know the Smash scene here is in love with that game.
I can agree with that, but I don't know man, I'm trying to not judge all those changes yet, 'cause the game by itself will be A LOT different.
But I can't agree with a LK having THAT range, it's insane!

Yeah, Project M is pretty awesome. 2.5 (the latest release) was a big step forward.
One of the cooler things at APEX is they have a section for independently developed projects. Project M, Super Smash Flash 2, Smash Bros Crusade, and Melee: SD Remix are all being showcased. The lead developers for each will be there so you can ask them questions (or make requests!) as you play.
I liked and appreciated many of the things they were attempting to do with Brawl. I like it much better than Melee as a casual fun game due to the speed tone-down.
Any Japanese Brawl players attending?
I'm late, as always.
So THAT's the theme I always hear when I'm stream monstering...
Quick poll - which Victory theme version do you guys like the most? Vanilla or Ultimate?
So far I have:
Vanilla:
Azure J
Bizazedo
Ultimate:
no one yet
The winning version will get... something, I'll think about it!

The range was fine because she played more like a footsie character (esp after the nerf of the super/dp/health/backdash) since she lacked a good overhead. The only overhead was the lunge punch but those require setup and aren't good done raw.
I can't see how she'll be a good character without F.HP being an overhead now. Just so that she can threaten people up close.
I mean she has an overhead with the command string but those are recognizable and I don't think you get anything off of them if you hit the opponent.

Yeah, like ~15 last I checked. Most of the big names. 9B, Rain, Kakera, Otori, Earth, etc
Tons of international representation overall. For all 3 smash games.

Even worse to me all those things made her fun to play. So even if she is still decent in a changed game I wouldn't bother.
Not such a big deal because I sold it off ages ago and would never pay the DLC entry tax, but I was at least hoping to watch some fun characters if it stayed alive.
Maybe but he will always be ri-yu to me as in "I hate ri-yu". Everybody knows who you mean plus you piss off the hardcore ryu fans. It is win, win.

Is Mango the best?
I'm usually a stickler for mispronounciations of things, but with Ree-you, Roo and Rye-you all work for me.
I personally say Ree-you, and still don't know which one is supposed to be right cause even Capcom employees pronounce it variably.
There's only supposed to be one vowel sound. The problem is that the "Ry" sound is a weird hybrid r/d/l combo that isn't directly connected to an English consonant sound.
Used to pronounce it Rye-you in my native country where everyone mispronounced everything.
Got to the States someone corrected me and said it's "Ree-you", after which he went on an elaborate "I watch a ton of anime so I know correct Japanese pronunciations" rant.
Then someone told me it was "roo" and after that I just didn't give a fuck.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Depending on how picky you are, only a small handful of non-Japanese speakers pronounce it "properly."
The R is that Japanese R/L thing.
The Y is a consonant.
