"Ed Boon @noobde 3m
New INJUSTICE balance patch coming soon that strengthens a number of characters some might have considered "lower tier". For example: LOBO!"

Nice, but we'll still keep seeing Super Mans and Black Adams all around
(I hope I'm wrong tho)

Very curious what will be in the patch. Been in the works for awhile now.

Have online peeps in Injustice gotten any better? I really like the game but it got really boring constantly playing people who were total garbage.

Out of playing like 1.5k games Nightmare SF is the only dude I ran into that made me stop and go "wow that guy's really good."
 
Anyone know how relevant DOA5 is in Japan? Never seem to hear about any streams or matches from there.

I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's not very relevant at the moment. Console only doesn't help and neither do all the gameplay issues. Ultimate is getting an arcade release though so I guess it could get a little more popular but we'll see.

Nope.

I've seen a couple, but there wasn't much interest in DOA5 in general, not just in Japan. Give it a month and we'll see what happens.

Thank you :)

Tried it and seems like a fun game, hope there's a scene.
 
"I listen to OBS because of interesting discussion on pertinent topics" is the FGC version of "I read Playboy for the articles."

Playboy had a article on B5 and the first USA vs Japan though waaay back in 2001 pre-sbo. I remember reading it, it was actually really good. Didn't buy it for the porn. LOL.

On another note:
Anyone try DOA5: Core Fighters? I like the approach that Tecmo is taking, NOT splintering the userbase like Tekken Revolution. And making it free to try while connected to the full version of the game. Dunno if it'll get out of it's niche though, but that was a good look from Tecmo.
Still spectator lag, but netcode is legit. I remember DOA5 sucking online. From what I've played it's getting close to TTT2 netcode.

KOF13 latest beta improving a lot netcode wise too. Of course YMMV due to American internet lolz, but I've played 3 versions of the netcode build and it improves every time.
 
That DOA5 free version is out? Might be interested in Izuna Drops.
I fooled around with it a bit last night but the input strictness is 3hardcore5me

Also dunno if they fixed it since then but the game is fucking buried underneath a million menus; couldn't find it on the PSN Store portal and had to scroll past like ten seconds worth of DOA5 vanilla sexy costume DLC before I found it.

Yup, DLed it last night. I like how they approached this model compared to Tekken Revolution. And considering DoA wasn't the type of game I wanted to buy and invest time in, Core Fighters was a good way for me to get a taste of the game.

Hope more games try to do something similar to this model. For the games I'm only semi-interested in, paying just for the character I want to use isn't so bad.
 
I would like to see Sp00ky on a Japanese game show. Particularly the one where he has to wear nothing but boxers and eat lo mein in a spinning dryer.

DSP left to his own devices embarrasses himself enough, no need for this dude to waste his time.

This is also my feeling. Trolling is dumb no matter how you look at it. Trolling someone like DSP is really dumb because there's so little need to.

edit: Jesus, there's tonnes of these vids on YT. One man attracting so much vitrol for playing a video game and uploading the footage.
