It's relevant because Damdai wasn't gonna do shit anyhow.

You're also all assuming Jeron didn't message someone ahead of time and say hey I won't be able to make it to my pool on time could I be moved?
People are travelling very far distances to attend tournaments and shit happens.

This is 100% possible, I would just like them to say so if that was the case. If this is blowing up for nothing the quicker they address it the better.

Also I agree with you about Damdai, but I would have said the same thing about Hiro yesterday lol

Xrd is very good for a first iteration, it's a shame that it's a relatively unpopular game. :s It just look awesome in motion and the crispness of top players make it shine.

Yes it is. I'd say it's one of the best. Entrenched veterans complaining about regressions really don't know what they're taking for granted.
 
Much like damdai it's not going to make a difference for you either

Yeah, if I'm not a Top Player(tm) why does it matter..

edit: and while I hate the TopPlayerPrivelege argument in regards to Damdai, he had to play Mago twice due to the float, I don't think it's a guarantee he would've quickly been KOed otherwise.

I don't know anything about this game but Kazunoko is making this look free.

He's a better player than Marlinpie, irrelevant of the game being played. :p It's not surprising to see that he's beating him soundly and I don't even know how dedicated he is to Xrd (and Xrd must have a decent arcade scene in Japan?).

Kaz wasn't doing anything with Ky specific to the matchup that should vex Zato. That was utterly confusing, especially considering that Marlin has a lot of Xrd Ky experience.

I think Kaz would have beaten him almost as badly had he picked Sol again.
 
Don't know lol.

Pools 1 through 8 all started at the same time yesterday and Hiro was a late entry. He couldn't have been DQed then moced because it was at the same time and he played all his matches as I recall.

Did momochi play Hiro on stream at all?

So why did they move him?

His match was on stream.

Inoue da gawd. Always nice to see Eddie lit up.

Big ups to Blacksnake as well. His matches are always crazy, kind of a shame he got bopped by Kazunoko too.

Nuh-Uh, Millia needs a damage and setup buff and Elphelt needs a buff too.

Gotta have that "Sugoi" character showing strong for Japan

marvelo, 3-0

Marvelo @marvelomcfly · 11h 11 hours ago
Beat Chris G 3-0, Flux 3-2, and MarlinPie 3-0 to qualify for top 8. #floridaboys

fchamp is probably gonna win. maybe cloud. those are my top 2 picks with justin in third.
terry probably won't beat cloud as he's a bit weak to zero (or was beforehand) and last time him and fchamp fought he got blasted into the next dimension

edit:
fuck i forgot full schedule, who is champ's hell demon
shiiit uhhhhh, it might come down to either fchamp/FS or FS/cloud then
 
Kaz just outplayed Marlin. Better character control and decision making. Marlin never got anything off of his knockdowns because Kaz chilled in block and Marlin never structured his strings for command grabs, which are where the big Zato damage comes from (and corner dusts). If Zato never goes for overheads or command grabs, and his opponent is patient, he has to perform extraordinarily well in the neutral to win.

Terry Bogard put ChrisG in losers, then Marvelo eliminated him.
Damn. Bogart used to get mocked for his Morrigan.

Damdai would have made it out of losers. He was in loser's finals and ended up getting knocked out by Mago.

Mago was put in losers by Hiro so Mago would have made it through to winners.

Damdai wouldn't have done shit which would have changed the entire losers bracket because Mago won a shit load of matches in losers.

You're assuming they would have beat whoever they faced instead of Jeron

I'm not saying Mago would have beat the same people Jeron did. I'm saying that Mago beat a ton of people in losers bracket which should have been Damdai. And as you said, Damdai wouldn't do shit.

Mago in losers = beating a ton of people
Damdai in losers = wouldn't do shit as you said

That's the change

*shrug* Be ready to beat anyone on any given day.

This tournament is only good if Morrigan wins.

DoA5LR hype. Eliminate all Helenas please.

there's a really low possibility for that to happen

also what are the chances that doa grand finals are gonna be sonic fox vs kwiggles again
every time i tune in at the end it's been those two guys 100% of the time in christie mirrors or christie vs some other char

the fuck is that about
 
doesnt matter though, it's not a Capcom game so it's gonna die soon /s

More that Arc will systematically go out of their way to undermine the health of the game. They'll announce a sequel/balance patch to a competing series, dick around for 6 months before having it release in the states, then the moment said competing series is about to come out in the US they'll announce an arcade update to Xrd which will require the console audience to purchase a new disc for a couple new characters and balance tweaks.

Fun times for everyone. /not-s

I'm reminded why I despise Gen Fu winning. Faster punishes and more damage for an old man.

Has any info leaked on why Spooky said the exhibition might be cancelled?

my assumption would just be scheduling as the exhibitions were supposed to be on saturday at like 10pm or whatever and that's when tekken ended instead of when marvel ended

there's probably just not enough time to do all of them and still run the full tourney since they've gotta pack up early for today so they can start packing up the actual tournament gear away from the venue
