I would pay cash money to play Xuan Dou Xi Wang in America, even if I had to unlock every character with IP/Riot points still.

Just bring the damn thing over with decent netcode.

Let's Get In On > Indestructible

Judging by the character designs, it should be the other way around.

SCII HD Online is getting a Patch



Well didn't expect this. Felt really burned about SCII HD's online mode and this makes it a lot better. Plus they fixed the glitches from the Pal/Arcade versions too.
Just saw this. I'm kinda shocked. I'll really miss Maxi's BS low though. :(

EDIT: I also doubt this is going to fix the actual netcode, just the filtering and connection indicators, but I guess we'll see.

The recruitment of K Brad begins. lol

I wouldn't want that.
Not only because the EC seems to constantly suffer a brain-drain when it comes to top players, but that WC starts getting the idea that they can simply take any top talent from anywhere without building their own.

Yeah, please let us know if the net code feels any better. I doubt it, but I'd love to have a reason to start playing this game again. No one in S FL is going to waste their time playing SC2 with me lol

Or that Cali is more laid back, friendlier, good mexican, has Viscant, and nice weather. Maybe its not EC being poached but giving the players a change of scenery.

CEO of WC rubs his hands together and cackles evilly.

If someone can write up some impressions from the new patch for SC2 HD I'd appreciate it. One of my favorite 3D fighters and I held off buying it at launch. Very tempted to buy it now if there are people playing and decent netcode.

Indestructible character select theme and Vanilla announcer really made Vanilla SF4 stand out.
Might be nostalgia and all, but it was some pretty cool stuff.

It gave the game some personality compared to Super.

I've always thought that vanilla had superior presentation
 
Isn't kbrad from Maryland or Virginia or something? I'm all confused.

And there are plenty of assholes here on the wc, and a drought and no real seasons ;)

The newfound love for Indestructible is the epidemical nostalgic trip. Like, insanity/drug trip. That shit sucks. It has its charm in hindsight but it sucks.

This is either a bad trip or the newest nerd meme worth latching onto.
 
I thought there were the occasional 263s in KoF? at least old KoF

Yeah, I remember K9999 and Nameless having that motion (263+A+B+C+D), if there are other instances I'm not aware of them.

Even back then it was a meme precisely because of how bad it was.

The netcode always felt fine to me. I never had any problems playing someone within my region. The problem with the game was the matchmaking with people from outside your region and not displaying the connection quality which is what the patch is going to address.

Noticed a couple of tweets from one of the VPs of MLG:

Hmmm now how to find 50 CRTs..

Sounds like they're running SSBM at the next MLG event
or Halo 1
. It would fit with the announcements that FishStix and Jebailey have been hinting at -- if Nintendo decided to go full (wee)e-sports and push Smash at MLG and Evo, among other things.

Also for FGC fans, we are looking at a title to add to the roster. Details soon.

It's Smash, unless those CRTs are regarding something else but I doubt it. MLG doesn't use old games and wouldn't consider anything besides Melee only because it still has a huge following.

Isn't there an HD version of Halo 1 for the 360? Can't be that.

Not multiplayer.
 
The only reason Smash was dropped in the first place was because Nintendo wasn't letting MLG stream the tournament. Despite that, MLG still kept their word and featured Smash at every event.
 
Just had a random thought: if fighting games put you into Tekken Ghost Battle-esque AI battles if matchmaking can't find anybody near your skill level, would that help out newbies getting into games where the online scene quickly becomes top heavy after the launch window? Would you get offended if you weren't allowed to be able to distinguish whether the opponent was a human or CPU? How would you handle BP/PP rewards in this case?

Getting back into SF4 has been interesting. I have so many close matches that id honestly prefer just getting smashed to losing by a pixel.

Did you change your name? I don't remember you but about a year ago I was by far the biggest flux hater in gaf. Even I have to admit he's got a lot better in the past year.

Nah, I got in last year June and got accepted by July/August. I don't hate Flux as a person, he's a real chill guy and loves anime, I have to respect that. My beef is his team and how he doesn't win majors with said team, it just disappoints me. I think he hasn't leveled up his synergy but his individual characters. His Zero has been lacking for quite a while but to make up for it, his Dante is steadily improving.


I need a well paying job.

Those are the toughest losses to endure. I was facing a pretty high ranked ken and was really close to beating him but apparently the area that Siberian Blizzard covers is minimal... so much salt.

MLG would't "scumbag" Evo out of Melee, I don't think. They've always been supportive of the grassroots stuff regarding the Smash scene. I don't see why this would be any different.

MLG chases whatever is popular at the moment. They used to have Melee several years ago I don't know why they dropped it.
