He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Making a layout to maximize the stream monster experience this weekend. What do you think? Keep or ditch the chat boxes?

Are you...the same sixfortyfive from Mr.Monkey Man?
I'd say ditch the chat boxes, but I'm biased because I turn off chat on every stream.
This is great, btw.

I used to post at that guy's site a few years back, yeah.
Keep poverty chat and main stream/Spooky chat up, everything else off. Maximum viewership and the occasional chat chuckle guaranteed.
Tekken is also less lenient when it comes to button buffering, you'll find that it's probably easier to press two buttons at once in Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter.
One thing you can do is to pre-buffer the command. Let's say you know you have 1+4 coming up in a combo, try to hold either 1 or 4 in advance and then press the other to make sure you get the move.

Ok, because I know that name was familiar, and it took me til just now to realize you were that same guy with the Ikaruga high scores back in '05 that I was trying to beat.

blah...I remember furby having withdrawals before the release of Mortal Kombat and SFxT and Tekken and Soul Calibur and Persona and KOF and Arcana Heart 3 and...you get the picture.

Good call on poverty chat. How about now?
I'll probably use this one for the main layout and have a link at the top to turn all the chat boxes on/off.

This is 100% correct
That seems to be all fighting game players in general.
Man this game is so good!
Stops playing after a week.

Not surprised at all with that twitch change if true, they killed the competition and now the monopoly starts, get ready for more stupid changes.

Those are basically my predictions (except Tekken because I don't know Tekken but sure).
My top 3 I think will be it for Marvel will be Chris G, PR Rog, and Yipes, in that order.
As for Curleh Mustache, I definitely think NY will take it, and my other picks for the next two would be NorCal and Team Latin America just because of potential surprise factor.

Where's the stream?
Schedule is great for me, as an European I can actually watch AE finals on sunday.
Don't expect the schedule to actually look anything like the plan.

I'm getting Injustice, but yeah, this is why I don't take known FG players seriously when they're talking about a game that isn't out.
Amen. It happens to every game, this time around because people like Art are likely getting paid for promo/have vested interest in the game because they've worked on it and it's so transparent, their opinions mean even less.
We all remember SFxTK is the greatest game ever. It's amazing how much of GAF swung in favour of that game just hearing some pros say they like it, or how much Cross Assault did to change folks opinions on the game from before only to end up in the same place when they finally bought it.

SFxT is a great example of how balance issues can totally wreck a well-designed game. (Ignoring the DLC/Gems debacle.)
PSAS is an example of how balance doesn't matter if the game just isn't fun to begin with.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
SFxT could be game of the century but people would still cry fowl on "pay to win" and on disc dlc. In fact people still do.
It's fine. Hes had it for a long time.
But Panda... I know you misspelled that on purpose...
A Pretty Panda

Mmm, I'm just a birdie, too!
Noob Saibot comes to mind.
Cable?
Nah, he uses the shadow like a projectile.
Think like Dr. Strange's glyphs, but each glyph is a shadow copy of the original player you can use later.

That was mostly the core like the people who post in here regularly. Casuals and your average gaffer clearly didn't bite like they did with the SFIV series or Vanilla MvC3.
We're actually the easiest market for Capcom to convince.

David Sirlin put up a concept video for a Street Fighter pitch back in the day that was routinely mocked on the SRK forums. I think the video showed Ken in ST doing a light dragon punch that missed, so that later you could recall that DP with the touch a button. Essentially your calling your past self as an assist later in a match. Yeah, it didn't make much sense.
Yea the casuals don't know who Mike Ross or Flash Metroid are. Only the people in the FGC would get excited and the FGC isn't that large compared to the casuals. Most casuals saw SFxT as an ugly looking cash grab game by Capcom coming off the heels of another cash grab (UMVC3). The respect that casuals have on Capcom had dwindled greatly over the past year. Expect games like Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 to bomb, DmC has already bombed.
Yeah, I... don't get Sirlin.
Why on earth didn't I think of this pre-DS character creation contest?
Around GAF at least, SFxTK is talked about pretty positively. Lots of people thought it looked cool and I see people talking about wanting to get it or fiending for sales and stuff. Obviously less now, but the FGC took the DLC stuff and made a huge deal of it.
...then all bought the game anyways and gave it decent sales numbers to date.
I fell for the sfxt hype. I just wanted to play rolento and poison. It sucks I got a game that felt very sfiv like to me. I sold it off pretty fast. I do own the pc version now, but its a complete waste of time when its not even 2013 patch.
My next capcom fighting purchase is gonna be a wait and see approach.
