^HYPE. Good shit st1ckbug!

EVO Donation Poll update: GGAC+R is currently in 4th place! http://shoryuken.com/2013/01/13/evo-2013-donation-drive-standings-and-rule-update/ But here's the really interesting bit: more info can be found in that link, but basically, FiM will not be selected for the 8th official EVO game since it's unlikely to be ready by then and the developers don't want to rush it. Instead, the game that places second (assuming FiM places first) will be chosen. Guilt Gear is only $636.42 behind Melee, the current 2nd place holder. There is a very real possibility of Gear winning! EVERYONE DONATE

I think the health increase was a smart move. Average combo damage in GG is probably 40-70% of a healthbar, and by increasing health, they were able to focus on mainly offering buffs while keeping nerfs to a minimum, with less worry of general damage trending towards being too high overall. shtkn, I believe it was posted on one of the guiltygearx.com +R change lists.

Halo jumped the shark at 2. When's Quake 3?

So it's not about which games are objectively most well suited for what's supposed to be the premier national championship (the obvious ideal), or even about which one is most popular (a flawed concept), but about which fanbase has the most expendable money (DANGER: RETARDATION APPROACHING CRITICAL MASS)? I'd be a lot more okay with the donation poll if the joke options were omitted (MLP, Divekick, etc). Yes, that includes Smash: As if any proof was ever needed that the Smash community is primarily subhuman filth. Copping out on cancer research fundraising money on the chance because your game doesn't get picked to be ran at a tournament it has no place at? Stay classy, scum. I'm not going to EVO but I'm still going to donate in the name of GG. Gotta keep the non-casualized flag flying, since EVO themselves have little interest in doing so, and judging by preliminary poll results where Smash/MLP crush everything else, most "fighting gamers" these days aren't interested either. As a final aside: "SFxT will not be at EVO 2013" - Mr. Wizard "SFxT will be at EVO 2013" - Mr. Wizard I wonder what he's going to spend that Capcom check on. Can we re-open the discussion (obviously not here, but somewhere on DL) of saying "Fuck EVO" and creating a national that isn't corrupted by Capcom money and personal bias?

Arc recently (couple days ago) posted something about v1.10 on their Facebook. I can't copy+paste right now since I'm on mobile but I wanted to give a heads up if someone wants to translate it.

This is the transcript of Mr.Wizard's P4A comments for those who haven't seen it. http://pastebin.com/SMrq3Wzp The fact that he's the admin of SRK or allowed to be in any sort of authority position regarding EVO or fighting games in general is laughable. He is literally XBL scrub tier.

I'm not going to participate in this debate again since it will make Circuitous mad, so I'll only go as far to say: 1. I don't play on wireless 2. I live in the metropolitan area of one of the major cities in America. My county is ranked 30th in U.S. broadband rankings (that's out of 3000+, meaning my county is in the top 1%), and my average up/down speeds smoke the national average (I get around 25mb down, 5mb up). My connection is fine. 3. My connections on BB are above average (mostly 3s regardless of distance in the US, some 2s and 4s). GG doesn't use the same netcode as BB and if you think that, please explain why the character select screen lags on GG but does not lag on BB, and why it doesn't support lobbies/spectators/etc yet. I mean, if they just reused the code, all that stuff is already done, right? Or maybe it's different code that is implemented differently. 4. Go fuck yourself.

Meh, if they don't release it for Xbox, I won't play it. I'm not going to bend over backwards to give them money if they choose to pretend the 360 side of their BB fanbase doesn't exist. I'm more excited for GGAC+'s patch anyways (assuming it unfucks the netcode).

Has the proration of Zanshenma been disclosed? Forgive me if I've overlooked it.

Welp, I was gonna remake the room so Ctrl and Chick could join, but when I disbanded mAc left and Toan went offline I guess I'm still down to play kinda if someone wants to invite me. Edit: Actually nah, I'm going to go do something fun instead

Anyone want to play? I want to test a couple things.

^Lol, thanks And yeah, I made a realization recently that waiting around in big rooms was making me saltier than anything else. I've been doing 1v1 rooms lately and it's been a lot more fun. No waiting, plus the sets are more interesting since after a few matches you start to dig really deep into the mindgames.

GGs Shervin (and cameo edition mAc) GGs to Tectal

Sure

Hey mAc, please let your bro know I stepped out for a smoke. Fun matches so far

K cool

Anyone want to 1v1? Room up.

A.B.A.'s execution requirements are not very high; Orb loops are probably the hardest thing she has to deal with since character specificity can make them kinda iffy. Aside from those, it's mainly Butt loops which are pretty easy. The difficulty in playing her comes more so from correctly managing her meters and subsystems.

^Huh? I straight up got bodied, lol. That was probably the most exciting set I've had in a while--GGs! I'm gonna grab something to eat, but I'll be back on in a bit if anyone wants to play. Those matches put me in a good fighting spirit :D

EDIT: Thanks for the translation!

Fresh from ArcSys' Facebook: http://contentssync-arcsystemworks.ambel.info/index.cgi?eid=846 Can someone please translate?

Scratch that, I'm at a P4A tournament to compete in a game I no longer play or even like. Gotta support dat local anime scene.

GGs Ctrl. Tsubaki was Eshi making a cameo appearance, lol. I'll probably be back on later. I've been losing more than I should lately and it's making me hungry for matchup exp.

GGs Chickzama. Sorry for the boot :P One sec Ctrl, stepped out to smoke.
