Top 8 will still happen. Justin "Marvelous" Wong and Kazunoko in Winners, Tokido in losers. Xian got 9th. There's a guy in Winners who plays Justin next using Kusuro's team.

No Zero, no Morrigan, no Strider, no Dante and only one Vergil in top 8.

Is there a schedule posted anywhere? I don't want to miss it. I'm kind of surprised that Xian got knocked out pre-Top 8.

After. You can't tell the rate before the work starts because you don't know how long it will take... not to mention SRK had TONS of extra stuff they had me program in for their special cases. For instance, that top bar on the current SRK lists new and popular threads, and an advert on the right. That isn't stock, they had me program in a new threads block, a block displaying the recent Wordpress news (which required me to write a bridge between xenforo and Wordpress FROM SCRATCH), and of course the ad block.

I objected to writing the entire top bar; but they insisted. Also remember that last year, flash did not officially support z-index. So the ad would block the user control dropdown. I told them issues like this would happen, but they didn't care. I run websites for a living, I know what kind of money they make, and with the completely intrusive ads they have on SRK, and with the high rate of traffic they had on XenForo, they should be making $300 a day, minimum. Since their switch to Vanilla Forums, you can see their traffic dropped off precipitately.

Did you have any of this in writing? Documentation? Specifications?

Ok cool. Thanks :)

And I didn't know Kazunoko actually played and can place higher than Tokido and Xian at a major. What team is he using? I suspect it's Mag/Doom/Vergil

Post when it goes live please

8WAYRUN.com was the first gaming site to convert to XenForo. I saw the value of the platform and immediately jumped on it. I am now one of the bigger XenForo third party add-on developers as most of the stuff on my website are programmed in house. since then, I've helped many of the websites in the FGC to update their forums, including testyourmight, vfdc, freestepdodge, and many others.

One such website was SRK. However, working with SRK was a pain and made it a chore to get anything done. In addition, they kept asking me to program in additional features that were harmful to user experiences, including poor integration with WordPress, that they refused to give up, and advertisement systems. I told them it would be problematic and I don't feel comfortable programming such features, but would do it anyways since they were paying me.

When all the work was done, and I asked for my fee, they refused to meet my price. They said they would give me half, and "never talk about money again". Basically, pay me half, and I continue working for free. I took the money, but refused to work for them anymore.

However, SRK is a huge website running my software, so it's still in my interest to make sure it's running well as it's basically a big advert for my add-ons. There was a huge problem, after months of running without a programmer, everything was now out of date, and of course bugs were starting to show their ugly heads.

When people started complaining about bugs, MrWiz tried to blame my software. To which I had to respond that those bugs were fixed almost a year earlier, SRK was just severely out off date. MrWiz immediately banned me and deleted all the support threads I had commented on. A month later they switched to the service hosted vanilla forums.

All this because they are greedy bastard who refused to pay my paltry service fees. The amount I asked for is probably less than two days of revenue from that website.

Disgusting. And if I can extrapolate a little from your other posts, you were giving them a bargain price to begin with.

Definitely doesn't sound like a major to me!

Seems to be a long running theme in the Capcom FGC... people undervalue your work, want you to work for free, and act like they are doing you the favor. Then of course on the rare circumstance where you ask for anything, they treat you like shit. It didn't matter if it's SRK, west coast, east coast, or even BigE; the people who run the Capcom FGC are scoundrels.

I want to see a Trailer from Capcom proving they are working on Street Fighter V. the Street Fighter II had many versions. I doubt they will release another version of Street Fighter IV.

I bought the Original SNES Street Fighter II and later on I bought SUPER STREET FIGHTER II for SNES it was 120$ at TOYS R US. the Most money I've ever spent on a Video Game

Has there already been a discussion here about how the Xbox 180 affects the FGC going into next gen?
Click to expand...

A little. The no DRM is huge, and will help Killer Instinct tournaments actually happen. Was the no mandatory Kinect thing confirmed yet? If so that'll also make setting up for tournaments easier.
