This is the kind of negative story you want to be told though. (Alongside stuff like Revelations.) You have to expose things like this (alongside promoting the good guys.)

fuckin' called it, man
Probably won't be a drama piece exactly. Probably going to look like "this guy got the rug pulled from underneath him, look at what the community did to help!".
Tbh this is fair game. We all would like to know what's going on. Has Kevin made his clarification yet?

I hope that they re-release ST on Xbox One and PS4 with GGPO. no fucking choppy HD art. make it an arcade perfect SF2 collection while you're at it.
Probably going to be a piece about how the community is trying to help a top US player get to EVO. However in the article they have to address the issue with his sponsor at least.
LOL now everybody is going to EVO
I'm happy that he's going. His Sagat is definitely top 8 material.
I wondered if Die's 1500 was going to end up covering Sanford as well.
I think they would have told us if it was.

HDR classic mode has decent rollback netcode, though not GGPO, and options to not make it widescreen and use old character models. The redone backgrounds don't change, but that's purely aesthetics and I think most people ignore them after a few matches.
I think the SF2 well has dried up, so I wouldn't expect anything else.
Actually.... How often do you guys find yourselves looking at the backgrounds in fighting games, other than Injustice? After someone asked me about some background details in AE, I realized I don't even look at them. In Tekken, I pretty much have the size of the background mapped in my head already.
It took me years to notice some obvious things in Tekken 6.
If they are good then I really enjoy looking at them.
Love marveling at the backgrounds in games like Last Blade, King of Fighters XII and XIII etc.

Well, we have a chart of Mexican players going to EVO, not sure if you'd be interested in that.
I always choose the training stage in AE, and I've only today realized that there was a creepy circle of shoes around the piano of the piano stage in P4A, only because a co-worker asked me "what about those shoes?".
That was on 32 inch Vewlix cabinet screen, mind you, and it was the first time for me seeing this obvious detail.
So, I think I'd answer "not too often".

R.I.P Smed, Where did all the hate go guys I was expecting more speculation about the donations.
What team are you going to use?
Random select should help him retain at least some dignity.

You're going to have to wait for Saturday
Unless my brain/fingers magically learn to play a "fair and balanced" team, probably Cap/Nova/Doom.
I get a built in Option Select. If I win, I become the guy who sent Chris G to Loser's first round at HIS Evo. If I lose, I lost to Chris G, no big deal.
That's true. We know Chris likes to pot split.
Do you have the crossup available w/ Stars n Stripes?You're going to have to wait for Saturday

yes, but it feeds into that whole "not gonna cover Evo, but gonna cover the ugly drama" crap that Kotaku does.
They won't promote the good guys. They'll do this story, then nothing until the next scandal hits.

I will be at Evo! Not entering any of the main games. Maybe VF (if it is there) or ST.
Yeah baby!
Yeah baby!

I have unblockables and some semi decent instant overhead setups.
I'm basically hoping that Chris G will be super rusty somehow and be off his game and I can take advantage of best 2/3 pools.
Pick a top tier man!
Where's Sanford when you need him?!
EDIT: Ow, you play Nova/Doom, that's top tier enough. But Chris hates a nutty Wolvie, so....think about it
Don't worry about it man, there's one really simple way to beat ChrisG and you'll move on in winners in easily. All you have to do is

I'm a horrible person affected by character loyalty and I'm most loyal to average characters. It sucks. I plan to change that after Evo (hopefully).

Just light a candlestick behind the monitor, and maybe one on top of the PS3.

2 PM PST.
I do, it's one of the things I love. HDR is hideous to me, and putting classic sprites on those backgrounds just makes it worse.
So I got a copy of SSFIIX for Matching Service up and running on my Dreamcast w/ VGA output. No online but all I want SF2 for is local play anyway, so it's all good.

Chris G doesn't eat real food though.

You just lost the element of surprise! I bet someone has already tweeted him this team

I hope Chris G looses just to see some more salt, perhaps he'll blame an electrical storm causing interference with his headphones.

Someone would say that to throw the scent off them... wouldn't they... xCobalt?
Anyways, it's not like my team is much surprise anyways, lol.
Probably Professor Beef the snitch.

Is that the closest a home port has ever got to arcade? I want it but it's so expensive nowadays. I might as well get a CPS2 instead, lol.
Yeah, the price is not something I want to think about (at least I didn't pay the LOL three digit prices).
When I was asking around, the general consensus seemed to be that this was the closest port and that the playstation collections (the easy, cheap choice) were to be avoided.
I don't know, but that's always what I imagine people saying when they coach. ChrisG wins a match and some guy who has never beaten Chris is coaching another guy who has never beaten him lol
