Lost Fragment

AE is kind of dull for me to watch lately unless there's some kind of dark horse. Top 8s are like, put the usual suspects in a hat and randomly draw the winner. I feel like the skill cap for that game has been reached. Ultra should shake things up a LOT and raise the skill cap since herp derp is getting nerfed so I can't wait for that shit to drop.

Dieminion winning over derp is kind of fun though.

They were talking about this on the London SF4 stream actually. How SF4 has bascally devolved into a series of set plays on autopilot and that delayed wake-up is absolutely huge in forcing players to actually think about their approach after a knockdown.

AE is excruciatingly boring to watch at anything but the utmost highest level. At which, it's probably the best game to watch.

Yeah. It wouldn't be so bad if footsies weren't so marginalized either. Like I'm ok with the autopilot vortex shit if it's hard to get to that point in the first place.
 
For everyone's reference, and because I love this stuff, here's a 1995 JP VF2 tourney.

Winter Brawl continued the streak of hype IGAU majors. Everything is so different now KDZ's Superman is getting cheered.

SCR pools need to come out ASAP so I can start obsessing over mine and doing last minute prep.
 
Hmm, interesting. I, admittedly, haven't kept up but that makes me lose even more hope for Japanese publishers getting it together next gen.


Thanks for this, but I can't for the life of me find the actual stream links, despite the schedule being there. Don't know whether to blame my incompetence or insomnia either.

STREAM 1 – MAIN STAGE

Also announced today - the latest Naruto game is the secret tournament. So we have a Naruto and JJBA game as "main" games at IVGC.

ANIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I will be the AntiChrist only if I have a tag that makes it so. Does this position have benefits?



But I get bored lol. I can't focus even if it makes me worse. Though, I find it easier with single player oriented games, since they are designed with an endpoint. With multiplayer I almost always end up hopping around after the first week or so.

You get to show off your great promo skills and team with a very young Chavo Guerrero.

I wonder if the people who are saying they find AE boring would still feel the same if things/major streams weren't so North America focused. As in, more big event streams from Europe and Asia showing different play styles and Top 8s.

No one ever seems to have something bad to say about a big Topanga AE event for example.

I personally still like watching AE plenty.

enzo gets it.

I thought Japan was REALLY excited about the PS4, more than they have been about consoles in a long time. At least from some polls a while back. I mean the market hasn't expanded like it has elsewhere but I'm sure they're not too picky about porting it to a PC-like architecture.

So much for big sales for the Western Experience Boxes.

super pumped to see Full Boost at SCR this weekend. Can't wait to see what the team compositions are.

There's a cat girl in mahvel, of course its anime.
 
I am so out of the loop lately, people are going through wars with DMS haha, begging Spooky to get rid of him or they will never watch a stream again, spooky saying he might just get rid of chat entirely, wtf is going on. I never pay attention to chat, is DMS that bad?

He's as bad as Skisonic, which is to say not at all.

I already like the guy.
 
I love watching ae, especially high level stuff. Watching Landon take apart people with guile is fun to watch.

Some of the vortex stuff can get boring though especially akuma. I guess the characters that get my enjoyment levels down, if they do, are akuma and Rufus.
