People to stop believing in:

Mike Ross
Yipes

Add Justin to that list.


Now my final tally for the week.

What's going to happen next week

- Beef is going to be on Chris G's dick
- Panda is going to be posting gif
- I'm going to be sad that the EC beats the WC and in Justin's performance
- Stabby is going to still say Norcal > Everyone (I think)
- Infinte is going to say NYC > WC.
- Rice-Eater is going to say "hey guys when's SF4?"
- CrimzonFlame is going to pop in and be like "what happened?"
- H3ro is going to post, and I'm going to reply to his post with FUCK THE KNICKS
- Scytheavatar is going to say something that makes no sense.
- Enzo is going to be Enzo. Whatever that means
- Kadey is going to make an excuse for her bad prediction.
- Dahbomb is going to be like SEE DOOM HM IS STUPID.
- God's Beard is going to say F.Champ still the best.
- And everyone ends up talking about DBZ again.
- Come Monday Parallax Scroll is going to post a FGTV link with Champ complaining.
- Lulubop is going to post a PR Balrog stream link with PR Balrog playing SFxT.
- Tizoc is going to come out of nowhere with a bunch of 3s links that no one watches.
- Solopowered is going to come in and say "hey when Skull girls?"

Stabby prediction = not happening
Infinte prediction = might happen.
Kadey prediction = SHOULD HAPPEN YOU PICK YIPES.
GB prediction = could happen, F. Champ wasn't there.
Parallax Scroll prediction = WILL HAPPEN. Chris G won.
Lulubop prediction = better happen.
Solopowered prediction = never happening. I fucked up on this one.
 
To make up for last week: Hey when's Skullgirls?


I know wrong person, but it's justified, the crowd funding drive starts tomorrow
 

Shidosha

Means "Shirt on Head" in Japanese
hello ladies - BTW if you played VF and went to winterbrawl - be thankful i didn't show up ;)

WHAT THE HELL MAN

The Ragequit title was so much better.
My balls are still blue from Playstation Meeting, leave me alone.

Plus if we went with the YOLO title, that would mean FGC-GAF has given me permission to make every thread title Drake-related. I don't think y'all are 'bout that life.
 
I really hope that Yipes will stick to team Nemo from now on, that seems to be the most versatile of his teams and the one that's most likely to win him a major. His Spencer/Vergil/Hawkeye 's poor options against air mobility was blatantly exposed in his match vs J Wong.

If I made these threads they'd all have Nelly titles.

Too front loaded.
 
Title should have been "#Bleed for Squigly".

Been too busy studying and playing to fulfil this one. Also, I think my PS3 is okay after all.
My balls are still blue from Playstation Meeting, leave me alone.
What did they miss out on? They hit it out of the park besides the fact that they showed no box and there is no BC.

Just finished watching WB marvel3 GF, whoa.

I don't know why people think it was a split, seemed more to me that ChrisG felt he had PR rog figured out so he felt like "trolling"(firebrand is not phoenix wright, also he might know something about his matchups) - he still had more games IF there was a reset.

Also I felt SO BAD for yipes... :(

I'm also still requesting that someone edit this:

foot_dive60ui6.gif


So Chris G's face is on Tom and PR Rog's is on the thug dude getting Foot Dive'd.

Needs less shootan, more platforman/RPGan/fightan/Stylish Action-an. Otherwise, I agree.

Unless there's a good reason to assume otherwise it's almost guaranteed to be a split if top players meet in top 3. Since they are all good buddies with each other. But yeah I fail to see why it matters when it's pretty obvious they all wanted to win badly.

When Ono went on stage and said "I'm not here to talk about Street Fighter, today."

Then he showed another medieval dragon-slaying game, as if they didn't have enough in their roster. ResidentSleeper, even if it's DD2.

GUYS DON'T BUY A PS4! CONTROLLER AND GAME LOCKED! #PSA

I feel bad for Huoshen. Something tells me he just got a bit of mixed signals based on the topics being brought up regarding Next Gen™ and went with it on stream. :lol

No lies, Ono stepping up had me thinking "MOTHER OF GOD IT'S DARKSTALKERS WITH GODLIKE 3D ANIMATION OH BOY OH BOY OH-- dragons? In my PS4 presentation?"

Should have checked myself earlier though, who does Capcom have anymore that's instantly recognizable enough to do their general presentations? Kamiya bounced, Mikami dipped, Inafune sighed and left a clingy voicemail after the fact, Itsuno/Kobayashi aren't visible enough, and Niitsuma's just there to deny happiness.

My penis went from being rock hard to actually going inside my body in those few seconds. :(

INSIDE MY BODY, PEOPLE.

I see where you guys are coming from now. Deep Down looked absolutely amazing and 2012 has given us enough fighters to last half a decade so I'm good.

This is like expecting BC on the PS4. Pretty lofty expectations.

Yeah, I'll probably try DD out whenever I get a hold of the console, but it's not something that's making me go "holy shit, want". Then again, most of the things that incur that reaction from me haven't been prominent genre-wise since the 90s. I definitely think that PS4 has a great vision layed out, free of Sony's usual fluff/"lucid dreaming".

Hey, I'm just going based off what scumbag Capcom said:

"We need more RAM for Darkstalkers"

>Given 16x the working amount and 10X the utility/speed
>Makes shit about dragons.

Ah, I take issue with Ono(well... I would assume that it would involve Dimps, not Ono who has nothing to do with animation) and "Godlike Animation" being in the same sentence. It's not so much a matter of tech as it is skill. I don't think Capcom has anyone who can do it justice.
