Celldweller is based as hell, better than Gordon even. Dis gon b gud.

The death clock as you guys put it is nowhere near as much of a problem as it used to be. I don't know anyone that doesn't run all three major Arcsys games, including Persona. Not being on the Evo mainstage means nothing, you'll still find it as a side tournament and you'll still find it at other majors and events. I think your attitude is too defeatist.

I actually have an idea of who it might be, but I didn't want to post because it's kind of a strange suggestion : X

Thank you. I'll edit with my response.

I want to read and respond, but you REALLY owe it to the reader to format and space out your post better. That's one giant paragraph and that's not pleasant to read at all.

All the links redirect to DL posts : (

What ender do you all advice for a corner OD combo? Should I use Vinum because it restands for furthermixup?

Well I suppose you don't have to credit the guy if he's a known problem. I'm probably just being naive, but I don't know of many people in the FGC who are known to be serious problems. I'm not talking "this guy talks more shit than he should" and I'm not talking wannabe WWE heels like FChamp and Leffen, I mean serious threats to the community's well being like DarkPrince was. If all else fails, you can use neutral terms. For example, instead of "X player discovered this cool new technique, here's how you do it" you can say "This cool new technique was discovered, here's how you do it." Like you said, just hosting content about the discovery without listing them. You've got to pick your battles, I suppose. Just shooting off my opinion here. I guess I can't really imagine such a thing happening, but I also haven't seen many cases of someone who is a problem to the extreme that DarkPrince was back in the day. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, I only started paying attention to the FGC in like 2007 or so, I'm still a young'un.

My opinion on the latter part is that if the information they have is valuable you should just host it. The information is far more important than who it comes from. Say you have a guy who is known for being an asshole and getting physically violent at every major he goes to, but he's discovered some crazy new tech that changes the way the game is played. If you promote his discovery, that's not the same thing as promoting his shitty attitude and bad behavior. Even if you don't promote it, the community is going to circulate the knowledge anyway, whether or not the largest hub for airdashers on the internet decides to post it up on their front page. I apologize if I misconstrued what you said, if this isn't what you meant I'll have to reword my response.

There is a difference between elitism and qualification. There's some people that you just trust more than others to know the game, and that's fine. What's NOT fine is silencing opinions on the game because "a better player said this" or something. For instance, if I were to say that I don't think CPE Relius is as fun as CP 1.1 Relius (which is an opinion I actually hold) and someone were to tell me that it doesn't matter what I think because Ryo still get results with him. Seem like a strange example? Well, I actually went through this on another site several times. What I said was a subjective statement, and I don't care if Jesus and Mohammad and Tom Cruise all materialize right in front of my face to tell me that Relius is objectively more fun in CPE, it's not going to change my opinion. I must emphasize that the people pulling this elitism were NOT aforementioned to players themselves, but random nobodies speaking for someone they (and I for that matter) have never met in an effort to undermine my opinion. Also, what if an unknown face/name comes in with some genuinely good information? Are you going to deny them because they aren't one of the popular kids? It's a delicate balance, you need to filter out the BS from the trustworthiness, and you owe it to your user base to get credible statements, and there are certain plays that you can trust to give them. That's fine and should be encouraged, but at the same time, nobody should feel inferior as a human being because some other guy plays a video game better than them. Ever.

It's not the same BB though. If anything it's more like getting Third Strike.

Yeah but now in CF Relius is going to be a better grappler than Tager <3

If they're active DL posters I think I might already have an idea of who they are!

If you're in the community I think you're probably capable of underdstanding what other community members want to read. IMO you don't need to be a reporter, just a writer. Most of the "reporting" is already done in the news threads anyway.

Yes, exactly. While the front page articles do get right to the point ("Here's a video and what the video shows") I don't feel it's elaborate or attention getting enough. For example, instead of "new x character setup video by x player" say something like "This video will cover setups for this situation, and this situation, and how to avoid that situation." be specific IMO.

Huh. Well, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

I think it's the other way around. Since BB was brought in when they lost the rights to GG, it seems likely that they were planning to do all of this stuff from the beginning, but now that BB got to flourish for the nearly decade long absence of GG, it seems like the two are the same thing now.

Guilty Gear's story is the most ridiculous fucking anime soap opera ever. Jesus fuck.

That puts my mind at ease a little bit. On that note, I wonder if Raven and his allies (That Man and I-No) are aware that Jack-O is a Valentine? It would make some of Overture's events make a lot more sense.

What the fuck man. This better be some kind of epic hero/villain team up against a greater threat, because if Daisuke seriously has an immortal BDSM zombie turned good with the power of friendship the way Ram and El were, GG officially loses its "metal" card once and for all.

Is this a different character named Raven? I can't imagine why he's a "new" character and is also travelling with the good guys.

You can actually vote outside of Japan?

The problem is not the lack of matchup threads, but that nobody seems to want to actually post in them. I guess some people are scared to give their thoughts because they think someone is gonna come in and tell them how wrong they are, but there's nothing wrong with struggling with a matchup even if it's one that isn't necessarily some 7-3 nonsense. I think everyone who has experience with an MU should post even just a little bit of their opinion on what they can do in the MU, the worst case scenario is people find out their tactic isn't so useful and so they look for another. Yes, exactly. Matchup discussion should be more fluid and dynamic IMO. Simply laying out what both characters can do is fine as an entry level but fighting games are not static. Different players have different styles and different habits, just because I know how to beat one Jin with Relius doesn't mean that my tactics will work on another. They may not use their tools the same way as the last Jin did, and they may get opened up by things that the other Jin didn't and vice versa. I definitely agree that having a healthy dialogue on an MU is far more beneficial than "this character beats that character because this reason and here's why."

She's also Roll from TvC, which is what I'm expecting her to sound like. Obnoxiously cutesy and upbeat.

Johnny = Wakamoto Norio Jack-O = Igarashi Hiromi Slayer = Hashi Takaya
