Maybe Sp00ky heard something from a reliable source? Because seems like Bum is not exactly negating the boycott but the other way around.

This seems like the most plausible outcome but Spooky gets pretty hot-headed and is short-tempered so it could be either side of the coin.

 

[smurfx]

The whole approach to the situation seems wrong-headed. Whenever a scene asks why they don't run _____ at NL, Spooky says, "If you show up, we'll run it" so why is there this last chance ultimatum with the Marvel set? If they show up, run the shit, if they don't, oh well. I could understand it if both AE and Marvel players weren't showing since that would mean that Spooky wasted his time even going down there, but Street Fighter is still in effect, which means he'll be there every Wednesday anyway, so what's the problem?

the numbers for marvel are already really low and if people are boycotting then why bother waiting to see if attendance picks up? better off trying to find a second game people can play.

 

[Marz]

Well they're running KI on Wednesday.

 

[Professor Beef]

so chris g killed skullgirls, injustice and now marvel at next level.

Chris Galactus strikes again.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Pretty sure it's not worse than the rachel and plat pictures in the gallery :lol

Edit: DAT TSUBAKI

The edited posts make this confusing. I thought you were referring to that Izayoi picture in the gallery.

Regardless the quality on that Bedman a-cho video is the best I've seen so far.

I still have no idea why Kim Kardashian was on the HoC.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

So anyone got a time stamp on NLBC Sp00ky/Marvel thing bum talked about on stream? Currently going through this boring ass 5hour archive trying to find it

Edit: NVM I think I found it 30 minutes in?

That's exactly what they are doing, my guess for the callout is to really see who's into the boycott and if it's worth it to continue running the game for those who are not into it.

why boycott in the first place in my question? they end up losing a spot to play marvel, everyone loses. if this boycott crap is true, the people who are boycotting don't even deserve to play any fighting game period. the most immature crap ever. if you got a problem, don't say it behind someone's back, say it to their face.

 

[undersakura]

It's disappointing to see more drama coming from the EC.

And those ass gifs haha.

Edit: I don't think it's really cool to be like Come Wednesday or ELSE.

I also don't put it out of a picture that "preference" turned into "boycott" through the classic FGC game of broken telephone.

If it truly is a boycott though, I agree with you. Grow the fuck up.

 

[Anne]

Dumb drama is dumb. Play video games and go to places that support you playing video games.

Broken telephones + short tempers + ego trips. Childish stuff which seem to be the norm in the FGC. Hopefully cold heads will prevail.

I still have no idea why Kim Kardashian was on the HoC.

I was wondering how that came up too, I think he was just making a point that when Evo was taking money for games to be the top spot that the money was going somewhere else or something like that.

This boycott/rivalry is really dumb, why can't people just play fighting games where they want to and not worry about if top players are going to go to one place or the other. I get that it kind of crumples in terms of other players going because the competition then falls but it still seems like this is an indication that everyone is just taking this too far. I honestly think Bum doesn't care at all, he's just doing what he wants to do for the community and I respect that. It's the same reason why monopolies can't legally exist, diversity and choice is what the FGC is about and should be about.

Come on Marvel, Spooky has always been good to us, lets not have it tear the East Coast apart.

Speak for yourself. TNL needs more games. If they are not going to run Marvel, bring back anime, super turbo and 3D games. But make sure you can't select any of the old characters in Super Turbo. That would defeat the purpose of the ST rebalancing.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Idk why the EC is so prone to boycotting. EC Tekken did the same thing when it came to evo last year...not to say that their grievances weren't legit but they handled it pretty badly...

Who said Tekken? It had it's chance at TNL & people didn't go cause they were lazy asses. Bring back Calibur or VF. I know NYC has weekly VF streams, so they can support.

 

[undersakura]

diversity and choice is what the FGC is about and should be about.

Is that why Triforce is still in the scene despite all of the scummy things I've heard about him which of course might not be true.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Umm Im comparing the current situation of this "boycott" to when EC Tekken players "boycotted". I'm pretty sure Tekken won't be coming back to next level myself.....get some sleep

Obvioualy NL should run Skullgirls Encore to fill the void left by Marvel.

Dunno why people are surprised about pot. He's in a game where characters have run dashes and double air dashes.

I just play it with a few friends. Its nothing I'd ever take super serious. Easy to pick up and play. The puppet character in that game is pretty interesting. Every one flys so its a blast to play.

I know he can fuck shit up q. I'm just saying. I think nemos list is trash too.

 

[petghost]

i basically agree with nemo's list completely for the time being. pot is definitely ass. not only is he lacking tools, he doesnt even get a great reward for his good reads... a grappler should be getting the most reward for their good reads. pot buster does pretty measly damage. its kinda heartbreaking seeing FAB working his ass off, out-thinking some other dude and still losing.

little things like getting vacuum back on 2s or a bit more damage on PB would do a lot for him.

 

[CommandThrower]

a grappler should be getting the most reward for their good reads. pot buster does pretty measly damage.

Potemkin Buster does measly damage? It removes close to 30% of the opponent's lifebar on most of the cast, maybe more. It's been a long while since I've played GG, but Potemkin Buster has always been a good alternative to doing combos.

I wish other grapplers in fighting games had their command throws deal as much damage as Potemkin's.

For EC Tekken, I'd argue FR is more prestigious than Evo. With Evo dumping Tekken, I suspect that might become the national perception.

That is the national perception lol. No EVO annoucement All Tekken players said sans complaining were "At least we got final round." which as you can see earlier in the thread has a shit load of entrants that pre-reg'd .

He works for riot now

Not familiar with riot, but doesn't look like the same Riot that published Telenet games back in the day.

 

[casperOne]

You cherry pick akuma as an example, do the rest of the old characters not count as "other versions"?

I read this as

[Do] They ban old characters in other games like ST?

If I misinterpreted that, and you meant "do they ban other characters in games other than ST", then apologies. But as I read it, you were asking specifically about whether or not they ban old characters in ST (and all characters in ST are old, ya know).

I thought he still could trade DP into ultra? It's like Daigo's signature move.

They took that out in Super.

It wasn't taken out completely, but Sagat, Ken, and Ryu's ability to trade off DP was hampered severely.

Super trap was so good back in the day. I would never burn meter because I wanted to troll people with it. I remember once this Abel was FADC'ing my fireballs from full screen thinking he was safe. I waited for him to absorb 3 before I let it rip. Basically 500 damage right there and we stayed about as far apart as possible from each other.

I never understood why meter strategy changed so much in people's minds once this trap was removed. If you play Ryu, your super is still super effective, as it's more versatile in terms of how you can connect with it vs. U1 (e.g. you can combo into it more easily, air tatsu into it).

Gootecks/Mike Ross commentary on ESGN needs a lot of work. They're just giggling at each other half the time.

I'm ok with this. I think it's an order of magnitude better than Gootecks and Tasteless.

EVO registration is live

Booked my room. Didn't register yet

Spoiler

cause, reasons

.

Just registered.

For all of you here that go, I better see all of you there.

House of Crack isn't an open venue. Next Level is. Huge difference.

This.

Contacting someone randomly to ask to go to their place makes a bunch of people very uncomfortable for a number of reasons I that I can understand completely.

Unless you're a very straightforward/direct person who is ok with approaching people like this (and not many are, frankly), it's difficult to do something like that.
