Cross Assault Thread: Get Cross, taste Salt (SFxT Reality Show)

I have been watching it every week anyway, so it's not like they "got me" thanks to the drama. I am just interested to see what Gootecks has to say for himself.

"We apologize, and I'll say that Jago and Mike Ross are friends. The match wasn't staged. And Mike Ross didn't actually mean he thinks 95% of the stream watchers are idiots. His retracted statement that he made 2 hours later where he in fact loves us all is indeed the truth. We all love you and we do this for you and for the FGC and not profit from it in anyway whilst making everyone look like a fool, no way sir."

--Gootecks

C'mon man, what else you think they are going to say.

Basically it'll be Gootecks being Gootecks.

I guess for me it depends on the tone, if it rubs me the wrong way I will stop watching.

Is it weird that I read that in Gootecks' voice?
 
At Jared, or someone else?
Yeah about Jared and his comparison of the fgc scene to a scene he only recently embraced. I've been in the SC/esports scene way, way longer than he has, and if he thinks the stuff he condemns in the FGC doesn't happen in the sc/esports scene, he is severely mistaken.

So Bluerei, how many Capcops moments have you guys had over there today? :P

About 3 so far, Arturo has been behaving himself.
 
I wonder when the "honeymoon" period of this game will be over and some of the ugly stuff in the system will start to rise. I remember at the last Final Round everyone was having fun with the new marvel and Ultradavid was talking about how everyone seems to be smiling when they play, that is until everything ugly about that game surfaced to the top and everyone complained about Xfactor, 1 touch death comobs...etc.

I mean it's a fighting game after all.

This game seems to rely on SSF2T fundamentals more than most Capcom fighters made at this point. Combined with the heavy damage scaling, it probably wont generate the salt that Marvel does.
 
So can someone recap the Jared thing?

Jared believes that starcraft/other big e-sports games are the perfect community and the FGC should go that way.

Aris/Haunts believes that if they aren't allowed to sexually harass women openly, then the soul and essence of the FGC would be taken away.

Or something.

Well what is the reason Frame Trap got broken up?

Pretty accurate.

Mostly I agree with this post. The bolded part is an over simplification. But this is a decent summary while keeping the character count low.

No, it was the censorship of every aspect of what makes the community fun. No one actually means the stuff they say, it's just to get hype or a response out of it. To censor that would make the FGC dull and bland, a lot like the esports scene of today.
 
Well what is the reason Frame Trap got broken up?

The conversation was supposed to be about Frame Trap but it kind of delved off into what I mentioned.

It kind of seems that their difference in ideologies probably split them up. Aris was really hurt over Jared trying to change the FGC into something like sc/mlg, but then proceeded to be Aris and say the dumbest shit ever.

It was meant to be a quick summary, and although I understand that Aris was trying to defend the "shit talky" openness of the community, what he said was actually blantantly supporting sexually harassing women, so I decided to highlight that.

I think it was the oppisite of that for Marvel, and Spooky pointed it out yesterday when he was talking to Combofiend. Spooky explained how the Bionic Arm moment probably saved the game competitively because of all the shit the game got from the start.
 
Well what is the reason Frame Trap got broken up?

He said being part of the scene he had kind of grown immune to the BS but after going to other events for startcraft he likes the positive attitude and respect of that community and decided he was ready to move on from the nonsense and hopes to make the FGC can mature a bit.

What horseshit, he never said anything like that.

Basically wants to turn the hype into golf claps, thank god that wont happen.

I think we're all okay with shit talking.

But do we REALLY have to go as low as sexually harassing women/non-straight people/people that are different than you?

Keep that shit to "this guy is FREE" and the like. More about the person's skill level and less about their sexual orientation and gender.

Can't we all grow up and mature a little bit? You can shit talk without using the words "bitch, fag, tranny", etc.

I believe Aris was trying to but what came out was "Sexual harassment is part of our culture." The guy is not a spokesperson and probably shouldn't be put in that role. I think everyone gets what they mean but it wasn't put very eloquently.

Agreed, but there seems to be this "all or nothing" mentality from some of these guys that just doesn't make much sense.
 
People are really twisting Jared's words.


Oh I didn't know you were here with us while talking about this subject before and after what you heard on the stream chat.
