Hi, it's more or less my role in the community to help new people and reach out. What are you interested in? I can point you in a number of directions.

yeah, it was tough for me to type that out too...
here. some of the points are legit. http://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comments/1zm9b6/the_next_season_of_esgns_fight_night_might_be_the/
Oh that's even better. Had no idea that research/schools did that but it makes this even more hilarious.
CCCCCBO BREAKER.
Yup, I'm with you on this: as a fighting games enthusiast I'm already starting to feel a bit bored by their format, so I can't even imagine how people not caring much about those kind of games would feel...
Also, the constant and sometimes absurdly long pauses between two matches is kind of a downer: tonight we had one ad break + player interview who lasted for more than 8 minutes before the last two games. This cut the flow quite hard, and gives a very disjointed feeling of the whole show.
I really like all the efforts they made to get all those great players together, but I don't know, it really lacks something -- it feels kinda soulless, pointless.
I want rose bowl at ufgt.

There's only one Chief Officer I pay attention to:
Innovation is normally going to be tech/process related. Creative is art/story/etc.

CIO's handles the internal image of the company (business structure/process, office politics etc) and CCOs handle the external image (marketing/brand image) iirc

No, I don't think that's why SCR's attendance sucked. It was probably bad because crimsonblur didn't promote it enough, didn't promote it the right way (there were some misconceptions about it among lower level players in Cali? Not sure), and they started Melee on a Friday which apparently a lot of the Cali players had an issue with (work johns, school johns, etc. etc.)
ROM's attendance isn't even that high, either. It just has a lot of EC competition, barely any WC players are going. Granted, you can register at the door, so it might bump up to 100 at the very least (it's at 85 since pre-reg closed). Also, I don't even think many EC Smashers travel out to West Coast majors unless it's like Genesis or something anyway -- the expectation of anyone besides say, M2K or whoever going to SCR was not there. Smashers don't make bank (or at least as much as many of the top FG players get in comparison) and can't travel everywhere every weekend (Mew2King being the sole exception to that).
Though I know you're just poking fun.
SCR attendance probably sucked because it was pouring (for Californians) and the freeways were a mess. I know that's why I didn't go.

BlazBlue is a fine place to start. You might as well since it's fresh and has an active scene right now.
Same thing.

Dead. I'm dead.
that's triforce's position in emp right?
Training stage actually has the least amount of latency for whatever reason. Letting the timer run out, idk about.

People always do random stuff once they hover over their character. Quick pee break, take a drink, check their phone, whatever. It's like getting more "break time" before a match starts. I personally just choose quickly. Stuff should be handled before you enter a lobby and make other people wait, while outside of one you are at your own leisure.

Take a piss, get some water, take some bites of your food, see what the gf is yelling about, stretching, check a sports score,.send a text.
I guess training stage is a ps3 thing. I never did it on xbl, I do it on ps3 though. At least it's not that damn volcano stage, heh. Actually, I've grown to hate the training stage.

Josh the FunkDoc. One of the best Super Castlevania 4 and Batman (Nes) speedrunners. He plays Balrog in ST IIRC. He was running Wolfenstein Spear of Destiny last I saw his stream.

It was a "don't touch spooky's computer" moment. They were doing a charity marathon at Next Level and Funkdoc tried to set something up for the next game when spooky was away.
to touch spooky's shit, you need or to be arturo or a girl

it was more of shit wasn't really going right that night for the speedruns and spooky was already on edge/taking no shit so that's why he blew up
Nice, name seems to fit him perfectly. The world of speed running is so foreign to me, one of my brahs is super into it.
If direct money matches were illegal... then how does the Virgin Gaming stuff even happen in the first place? You can participate in most states, and even across state lines. I thought it was more of an issue of people "investing" in the match, which I'm pretty sure is illegal everywhere. I can definitely see why TOs would get paranoid about it... but nothing is going to change until either they or the police claim a few trophies.
Then there's weird stuff about how I can sign up to play at Evo from Arizona... but I can't sign up to play in an MLG event from Arizona. Two similar events with very different interpretations of state law. (It actually was an issue, as a few friends had a lot of trouble getting a CoD team signed up for MLG Anaheim last year.)
*I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advise, blah blah blah

Why didn't that scrub DahBomb enter the GAF Marvel tournament? I wanted to body his ass in a game I.don't play.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
That'd be a boring match since neither of you play.
I don't have a PS3 anymore, sold it in anticipation for PS4.
You will have to settle with playing BakedYams.

This is reasonable but not demonstrative so it's not satisfying. I believe Smash players are more exclusive than other scenes to a potentially debilitating degree. Maybe I'm just falling victim to some confirmation bias in regards to the people I've dealt with in various communities or the personalities I've seen in the FGC public eye with more cross-competitive traits being magnified (read: J Wong, P.R. Rog, Chris G, etc., etc.). Could also be some combination of the two.
I tried to peruse the full brackets to truly see how many cross-competitors I could find among the games and see how many Smash players entered games outside Smash this weekend at SCR. Unfortunately, Challonge does not have all the pools for every tournament and a lot of what it does have is restricted to top 32 and up. If I'm wrong about this let me know. Also, if you have any ideas for other possible evidences I could peruse I'd appreciate it.
Regardless of the quality of the new Smash, my prediction is that there will be no real osmosis between the broader, more traditional games and Smash 4. We'll see, I guess.
*edit*
Show of hands: if you attended SCR and entered more than one tournament, please post here and list the games that you played.

Holy shit panda.
Edit: May as well ask here. For the Smash folks here, how does one properly Shine out of shield? Is it an immediate down B after pressing a jump button (cancelling the first frames of the jump animation) or can I be more lenient (be in the middle of a jump out of the shield)/is it a case by case thing?
