Fighting Games Weekly | March 3-9 | Edition Edition

If we're talking about gifs, I ended up telling my friend the idea for this:

Of course it was only improved by the F. Champ face, lol.

yeah.

i'll try again tomorrow. maybe i'm pressing buttons too slowly somewhere or something.

I messed with the timing to see what might cause the 2H to whiff.

After the wallbounce, I did 2P as soon as I could which made the 2H whiff. So delay 2P when they're closer to the ground if that's your problem.

I'm kinda glad Floe's South Park stream keeps going down.

I'm not far enough into it to watch somebody else play it yet and I have no will power.
 
Wow, that's real. Only times I remember a stream getting taken down was cause of nudity but banned twice? Must have been real.

Edit:

OH MY GOD! TRIFORCE IS A PART OF THIS!

First ban was for slandering other people in the FGC and taking it way too far.

Second was for letting a conference call continue when one of the callers was making physical threats of violence to another.

And yeah, Triforce is a regular.

I'm a horrible person for wanting to know who they were calling out...

I don't even think RayRay's Magneto is better than FChamp's. Ray has plenty of fancy tech with his mags, but Champ makes better decisions.

Offensively he is leagues ahead of champ. Crispier movement, better combos. Fchamp does a much better job of keeping mags alive though. I am flabbergasted at how easily ray loses mags. Six seconds go by and he gets clipped by something. Champ doesn't have rays mobility but he keeps his point alive much more than ray does.

FChamp's Magneto has better mobility.

Or let me put it another way... FChamp's Magneto has more effecient, controlled and purposeful movement. Its why RayRay ends up being in worse situations with Magneto despite using two top neutral assists with the character. Plus FChamp uses the auto correct fly tech with Mag Blasts better than RayRay which allows him to avoid even more bad situation.

RayRay has better confirms and some better combos but his drop rate is also higher.

best fgc gifs.

because if made them. :p

That first gif was my introduction into FGC gis, I thank you smurfx.

I never saw the second one and just realized, Rayray lost a ridiculous amount of weight. I started doing what he's doing (the mangu/running like a maniac diet) and already lost 10 pounds.

I think you mean to say is that Fchamp is smarter than Ray when it comes to mags. And he is. From a pure execution standpoint Ray is considerably better. Not saying Champ is bad because he isnt. Champ rarely drops combos. If Ray could convert his sentinel play into his magneto id be happy.

Yeah I think its a fusion of what you both have said. Rayray has godlike movement with magneto, no one can take that away from him. From a technical standpoint, FChamp isn't at the same level of Rayray with that movement but makes up for it with how defensive and cunning he is with Magneto. Rayray just go balls crazy applying pressure to anyone.

Also on the Sentinel thing, players tend to play smarter when they are on their last character. Wish this would transfer to their point characters...

I wish hed go back to ordinary guy

He does, only on really specific match ups though. However, I think he just dropped ordinary guy all together for Doom.

"Cunning" is a good description for how Champ plays.

Champ goes for efficiency. Fancy movement and combos don't mean anything if you drop them or run into a missile.

I live in the Bay Area. Its hard to find even one. I miss getting Arroz con Pollo with that saffron.

No clue then.
 
I love RayRay and his use of drones. So creative. I know his team is better with Doom but Ryu was so much fun to watch. The weakness of course is the difficulty of comboing off of throws.
 
Winrich is saying ESGN is disappointed in the lack of community support Fight Night AE has gotten (compared to the Fight Nights for other games, which have gotten better community support) and it might not return after the third season.

don't they air the matches pretty early in the day?
 
F. Champ, Chris G, and Justin are by far the 3 most efficient player that why they are the three best. The 4th being Flocker who's the best player that plays Zero.

It's that simple folks.

I completely agree with that. Its a sad thing to admit but the way advertising is done, its not effective. To be honest, I don't even know when to watch it or where, heck the twitch stream for that show is the most elusive thing to me living in the east coast.

Also, on the Call of Duty scene he mentioned, its really interesting how word of mouth made the genre explode. Somehow, that little firecracker needs to be lit for fighting games. I used to remember a day where everyone knew what street fighter was. Nowadays when you mention street fighter, its street fighter 2 that comes to the mind of people.

People play the other games on a PC. People play SF4 on XBOX/PS3 for the most part. You don't have that same level of interaction and stupid fanbases that you do when people are watching their "stars" on stream talking to them for LoL/Hearthstone.

He brings up a good point that the broadcast timing is not good for the US. I am lucky that I get off right around that time but other people don't and this is a weekly show which means most people are at their jobs at that time.

Since this isn't live, they can improve number by broadcasting it in the evening for US watchers. He did hint at it but I don't know if they will do it.

Its a sad thing because I felt that their heart is in the right place but you gotta pull the numbers to continue.


Edit: And yea by support he means viewer count. SF ESGN gets like 4k viewers where as HS ESGN gets like 15K viewers.

It airs at 3:30 and honestly, the only advertisement the show from what I've seen is eventhubs (gross).

Hell one of the episodes was on during SCR. I didn't even watch it that day.

Also they reached out to Daigo and he said he would do it for Ultra version. But they don't know if it will last that long.

That's a shame. I've enjoyed Fight Night a lot, including all the cringeworthy stuff from Round 1.

Problem with it, is they need to know their demographic. A 21:30 CET start might be good for Hearthstone/Starcraft because PC is more popular overseas.

Street Fighter at it's latest starts at 3:30 in the US. Most people aren't free from 12pm-3pm

Does SF get front paged? I know Hearthstone does, because I've seen it up there a few times.

Front paged as in on Twitch top games?

Not if there's a major on or MAYBE a weekly. Same for UMVC3.

What fighters pull at a meduim sized major in terms of numbers, Hearthstone pulls about that much any time Kripparian is streaming. Hell he's streaming now and is pulling 15k alone.
 
Maybe it's like sports (FGs), people love the live stuff, not tape delayed, chopped us stuff. It's like if you are a soccer fan in north america and trying to watch the EU stuff. IF you can't watch it live, it losses the luster.

It's "on" at a bad time though for NA. But it's a pre-taped thing, they can rebroadcast whenever they want to suite the region. But I guess at the point, just watch the YT upload later.

I wonder what their expectations were. Those other games are just more popular than fighting games. It's just a fact.

ADVERTISING! THAT IS THE ANSWER! When people learn how to advertise their product, then success will be had. Not that I'm screaming at you Dahbomb, its too late for me right now...

Honestly, the sort of streams PR Rog has been putting on lately are a great example of what the scene should be doing if they want to gain viewership. He's got a decent streaming setup, he engages the audience, he's doing giveaways. More people need to take his lead.
 
Just air Fight Night during the evening. It's all pre-taped anyways, right? Don't air it when the people who would watch are working or are in school.
