Fighting Games Weekly | June 30 - July 6 | Judge, Juri & EGsecutioner

Warrior's Return 3! Live USF4 from Manchester, UK! Ryan Hart, Problem X, the SFO crew, the Birmingham players, the North East, Big Fool, the entire UK FGC other than me!

USF4 now, TTT2 later. One day event on GMT+1 (BST). Will probably run until 8PM our time, so that'd be something like 3PM New York time, noon LA time.

Tokido: I believe that I should not only display my fighting style on the surface level, but spend more time to create deeper strategies. In this way, I can establish a fighting style entirely unique to me, and I will eventually win in the long run. That's why this year I'm going to focus solely on King of Fighters 13 and USF4.

Itazan: Wow, this is considerably fewer titles you are entering than before.

Tokido: USF4 goes without saying, but I'm coming for the crown in KOF 13 as well. The players I practice with really support me, and it's my role to ensure their support is not in vain.

no wonder he's been doing really well in kof13 tournaments

EDIT: this roundtable discussion is pure gold
Bonchan: It looks troublesome for Evil Ryu to fight that type of Bison. I'll be using Sagat so there's no problem.

Daigo: Even in this version?

Bonchan: Of course I'll be fine. Its just PR Balrog.

Daigo: Oh everyone heard that, right? Please be sure to record this down in the transcript.

(everyone laughs)

Pre-EVO roundtable discussion with Daigo Umehara, Tokido, Momochi, Bonchan, Itabashi Zangeif and Kazunoko.
Daigo seems pretty broken hearted about Ryu.

Daigo: In USF4, I can't help but think that Sagat and Akuma got nerfed because of these guys (points finger at Tokido and Bonchan). Conversely, Cammy and Fei-Long escaped the nerf bat because no one really showcased their strengths in public. Is this not equivalent to punishing the hard work of top players?

Bonchan: Preach it Daigo! Preach on brotha! Keep going.
Yeah, this is pretty much how Capcom balances their games. It has very little to do with actual character strength.

What, it's not because he's tierwhoring with Iori/Karate/Kim team? Those characters just win, the game is more imbalanced than Marvel (<--heard on gamefaqs Kappa)

Back to grinding hitconfirms I guess :p

Hahaha, all of Kazunoko's responses are great. This a pretty great roundtable so far, thanks for linking it!

I agree with what they were saying about Hugo. Although it's a shame he has a lot of trouble getting around fireballs, I would prefer they buff his close up game and health over ex lariat or running grab. Just play Hawk if you want a more mobile grappler. Interesting that they think lp green hand is as good as condor spire.
 

A Pretty Panda

fuckin' called it, man
Shit I couldn't make up:

"Powerstone isn't a fighting game either. Smash is simply a less complicated Powerstone, streamlined down to a two player game."

This response is ok

Here's a controversial opinion: If, in 2014, you still have trouble calling Super Smash Bros a fighting game, it's because you lack the analytically abilities to break free from simplistic memes made by people who are better off staying quiet on the matter.

I kinda wish Hugo's f+HP went through fireballs completely. I don't know what else to use that move for because it's so slow in startup and recovery and even whiffs on crouching opponents.

Tokido: I've always wanted see how much I could win by taking a mid level character and exploring the limits of the character's potential through hard work.

Because She Hulk and Tron were NEVER used in vanilla

Nevermind Combofiend making her look very strong and Gustaff Fire being almost entirely invincible

Justin Wong, Combofiend, Nerd Josh, Floe and Ricky Ortiz all used her in vanilla.

oh nvm. you were being sarcastic. but still Tron and She-Hulk were made near useless.

Yeah but Wesker, Haggar, Doom, Akuma, Wolverine, Dante are still basically the same and weren't nerfed to near useless. ;_;

Wesker is mostly just different.

Haggar had his assist nerfed hard, but was made a better point character.

Doom was buffed.

Akuma was buffed.

Wolverine was significantly nerfed via Berserker Slash changes and his new move.

Dante was nerfed considerably in both damage and utility.

None of them got it as bad as She-Hulk and Tron, but "basically the same" isn't fair, either.
 
I summarized the article as

-We would all pick Yun if 100,000,000 Yen were on the line, but we enjoy the game and value winning and showing skill over the prizes, so we hold back just a little bit, except Kazunoko cuz he's a dick (laughs)-

I enjoyed reading it immensely.
