Lost Fragment
Obsessed with 4chan
Isn't $500k the number Capcom threw out for the CPT in 2012?
This tweet is going to haunt... umm Haunts for days
That's not the reason why people were upset. The brackets were handled wrong, whether the paper reflects that or not.I didn't really think it was a big deal to begin with, since it's not like it changed a whole lot. Not only that but checking twitter, I didn't see any whining from Ryan Hart or PR Balrog. I think everyone made it seem like a way bigger deal than it really was.
It was ridiculous seeing people act like the tournament lost validity because their home bracket didn't reflect what was being shared among the people at the venue.
So on the bracket stuff, it seems the paper bracket they used in person had the slots where folks go to losers swapped compared to the form that they used online. That's why the matches went they way it did instead of how the online showed it. That isn't surprising at all actually.

Unless I'm mistaken, this has happened during EVO finals too. People would expect one losers bracket, but it would be a different order at the actual event.
Of course the difference is this time we actually had a bracket...but still.
I think going forward *knock on wood* if I get into grad school, I'll need something better than this sub-720p Lenovo laptop with a shitty trackpad, and perhaps something that can handle a graphics tablet as well. Gaming laptops seem pretty excessive to me though, and even though I see people going HAM on League and stuff, I much prefer a separate, larger monitor/TV + keyboard.
Even still, I think I might go console version of SFV, given that there will be a physical option.
I misread the timestamp and thought it was a tweet posted before Capcom Cup happened.Nah. It was an honest mistake so the crew aren't going to lose sleep over it.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 got it first either, and the PC got a delayed release as a caveat of their contract (and because PS4 is probably the lead platform).And plus considering Sony is pushing the whole "built from the ground up for the PS4", it'd be a much safer bet to just get it for the console.

Because Super wasn't offered as an upgrade.Just put in vanilla SF4 in my 360 for fun and i found a ranked game within seconds.

There are a couple of issues with Evo brackets.
1) Occasionally a volunteer who runs pools can fuck up the bracket for that pool. The story I tell is of an Evo judge running a Persona 4 Arena pool at Evo 2013 who thought that the bracket was printed out wrong because the letters that denote how you send people to losers bracket were in reverse alphabetical order. (They're in reverse alphabetical order because that's the "flipping" part to avoid rematches.) So what does he do? He crosses out all the letters and re-writes them in alphabetical order and runs the bracket that way. This resulted in half the people in that pool getting double jeopardied out of the tournament.
2) The way Evo's bracketing system works, the final "Top 8" bracket is a brand new bracket from the semifinal "Top 16" or "Top 32" bracket, instead of being a continuation of it. This can lead to some examples of double jeopardy not unlike what happened today (Although unlike the Capcom Cup, there's usually a day in-between semifinals and finals, so nobody really notices it when it happens.)

The bracket they used is flat-out the wrong way to run a double-elimination tournament. The fact that nobody running that event knew or understood that is sad.
They should. They fucked up.
I think like 3 months ago I loaded it up and got a couple games in. I picked Dante w/ haggar lariat (+ random third person) and spammed hammer and lariat all day...I wonder if people still play vanilla Marvel online

That last page was ban worthy. I don't understand.... how you guys get away with this atrocity.
Sony got our backs.
Do you mean the bracket in the first place? If so, how is it wrong? The placement locations in the template?

Look man, when your main character (mine is Gief) hits like a truck, you never wanna go to another update. Real talk though, people still play vanilla marvel. I would ask them why and they said they couldn't afford the upgrade... The struggle is real.

can't believe you guys haven't posted the Filipino Champ porno look-alike. That one is the best/worst.
Did you not understand the context? The implied collusion was so thick I could hardly move.

Truf. Shamefully, I must admit that I had not upgraded SF4 vanilla until recently with the physical of Ultra. Granted, I still kept up to date by mooching off my friends' copies but still....shit was rough.
I have never before seen a 16-man double-elim bracket set up like that, where the losers of both the 2nd and 3rd round matches are reversed in how they are sent to losers. I know that for 32- and 64-man double-elim brackets, different bracket programs have different ways of sending people to losers each round, and I won't really raise a big stink about those differences (though I think Challonge/Playpool do it best). However, I have never seen a double-elim bracket that flips two consecutive rounds before. The person running the bracket should have known that was wrong, and that what they had on the website, (and indeed, what every website showed) was right. They didn't, and thus, they fucked up.
You know, all this time I was waiting on the FGC at large to get behind either the PS4 or XB1 before I decided which of the two I'd be purchasing for myself, and SF5 should be the game that seals the deal, but after thinking on it, I can't come up with a single good reason why I shouldn't just go PC instead.
It's not something I really expected. I haven't been a "PC gamer" since SimCity 2000 was current, but I'm really not keen on paying for online play anymore or dealing with all of the baggage that modern console gaming has acquired.
Really? I'm pretty sure I've seen it myself but I don't recall exactly.
But anyway, it's an honest mistake if they're paper one didn't match the website. Sure, they should have realized it but it's not as big of a deal as say purposefully moving folks.
The struggle was real but Gief got better with Ultra fortunately. Gorilla, pls tell me you play a grappler? Our kind is far and few!
Youse a good guy gorilla
I don't know how much either company sees the PC as an actual competing platform, seeing that they're spending all their effort keeping games off each other's platforms as opposed to trying to keep it exclusive to theirs.
Don't know about the logic of delaying the PC release, my only worry is that they'll ubisoft the optimization or capcom the netcode
Are they restreaming it right now or is this some after party band thing? I actually missed some parts of it so I want to watch it again.
Now I'm really getting ticked off that no one is taking Marvel seriously anymore.
