Fighting Games Weekly | April 16-22

Hour of AE, 3 hours of SFxT and they forget to do AE finals.

Sounds like the usual WNF to me.

This is what bugs me. I know SFxT is the new game and they want to give it more the spotlight. I have no complaints about that, I just wish they would show AE Top 3 or at least the GF. I don't think that's asking for too much. I am a Level Up subscriber so I'm giving my say as a paying customer(all 299 cents per month baby) for those who want to throw that in my face :p

But point being, keep the spot light on SFxT and try to grow it. Just show us SF4 finals at the very least.
 
Big Two was great last night. The Rise of Dragon God, and Fooblat's blow up made Marvel more exciting than usual. Rico shonwing up makes AE much more interesting given Abel counters Sagat and Guile. Then SFxT only had 7 teams enter so it didn't take too much time up. On top of that you had Jaha back, Spooky on point all night whether it was commenting on matches or real talk, and a little Chris Hu.

Props to Spooky and the guys on the EC for a stellar show. It's a real shame if monster are ditching Spooky for the sake of a few shitty emotes.

I wonder if DOA5 will catch on. I played Ultimate and 4 online a lot, but I might be over the series. It was kind of hot since nothing else was offering solid online play.

No chance now that Tekken Tag 2 is coming out same month. Best thing DOA could do is delay six months.

I can't wait to see how the commentators are going to have to hype up SFxTK at EVO while the stream monsters are destroying it.
That will be the best entertainment that game will ever provide.

I missed the Triforce popoff :(
 
EMP Stream highlights:

- BloodyBison drunk pop off. He want everyone to come back to empire.
- Rahsaan is forgetful about giving sanford money, gets angry about it and screams at (verbally abuses)girlfriend and argues with triforce.
- Triforce does legendary pop off about entire FGC and how fake everybody is. No one will talk shit to him in his face. Real talk.
- FingerCramp is fraudulent and Hak is a hack. He treats Jago and ChrisG like shit.
- Triforce knows really why gootecks left CC.
- Everyone in the chat was asking Rahsaans puerto rican girlfriend to take her cloths off.
including me
- Yipes popped in the stream chat then left swiftly after seeing the madness.
- Triforce hates but respects FChamp because he's real.
- DSP makes more money than triforce.

- You forgot to add that the Presidential election is fraudulent and the New World Order has already determine the next president.
- Freedom is a bad thing.

Did he already deleted/hid his archive? I already dled 6 hours worth of it before I left home. Anybody else missed it, I can upload it somewhere.
 
No they don't, VF5 isn't some new game, it came out in 2006. Sega had their chance to win a market share back when competition barely existed, then they went to release VF5R to kill any chances of the game making it big in the FGC. It seems that they are much more aware and supportive of the FGC now, but it's too little too late. Hopefully they wouldn't do point their middle finger at the console crowd again for VF6.



um, that's not how it works. people will pick it up if they want to, not based on console politics like some of the loonier gaffers.
 
So sad I missed the Triforce stream last night.

On a side note, I loved when the stream chat went all Game of Thrones when Sanford mentioned the King in the North. :lol

EMP stream sounds like madness.

awwww missed emp stream :(

It sounds better than it really was, trust me. The archive is on their twitch page and it's 5 hours long. If you actually take anything that was remotely funny or interesting you get about 2 minutes of footage. It's the same shit where triforce makes himself look squeaky clean, shouts randomly and says REAL TALK a lot.

Noooo don't cancel the Runback then I'll be out of a jeerrrrbbb.

Anyway KOF XIII is the main event tonight since Bala's back and the KOF Community is working hard to keep turnout up. Please they super cool peepz.

Also I haven't gotten my new soundcard yet so there will be random audio drops later in the night. So just saying sorry in advance T_T
 
Why would the Runback cancel? its like the most hyped night, would love if you guys can throw in Skullgirls somewhere in there, maybe top 8 or 4?

Lol I'm watching the VOD of WNF from last night at work today. Marn destroying Online Tony with Dudley and doing stupid shit with his glasses is amazing.

no SFxT on the runback, so you don't have to worry about it getting canceled due to disinterest. UltraChen don't even wanna commentate it.
 
The runback doesn't have to be cancelled.

All Valle has to do is make AE the main game of WNF again and stick sfxt in some backroom with all the cleaning supplies.

Valle talked about Skullgirls a few weeks back. They'll see how things are looking once this season is over. The game did catch everyone by surprise. I just hope it's paired with UMvC3 and KOF if it does happen.
 
Oh I haven't even finished it yet. I'm probably going to be hooking up the phone to the car while commuting to and from work so yea I wont' finish it anytime soon.
 
What's with this talk of canceling The Runback? Do they no have time or is it the idea that WNF needs to be "saved"? I did watch the opening monologue with Valle and Justin. It seems like Valle wants SF4 to stay on Wednesday because it was the game that built WNF, hell it was the game that rebuilt the FGC to what it is today. But there can be no doubt that Marvel brought it to new heights and that game is obviously the most popular game for viewers in the US. I say just keep Marvel on Thursdays where it will have the spotlight to itself most of the time and give SF4 more airtime on Wednesdays. It's still a very popular game and although it won't match Marvel numbers in terms of viewers, I think it will liven things up a bit compared to SFxT.

EMP stream file is 400+mb. Mediafire only lets me upload files as big as 200 so I would either need a new place to upload or do something else.

It's alright. Minus got it working.

Looks like I only managed to get the first two hours. Twitch splits streams at every 1-2 hours so there probably were 4+ files to download. I'll keep that in mind next time.

Just a heads up, VSM tonight will be doing a special birthday night for MK9, playing the game vanilla with no patches.

So if you like broken games filled with infinites, make sure to catch it.
