nope, but maybe my place next week

if every other english interview with daisuke hasn't been a hint, every english interview with daisuke is awful

at least chris didn't go through rod's mail

samitto lookin real salt and vinegar and is that a guest appearance from satou at 39:20?

before you read the rest of this, i want you to watch the following videos, in order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vugCGZina58 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfMv4lbtQ_s assuming you were previously unfamiliar with cvs2, you probably learned a hell of a lot more from the second video than you did the first. even if you already were familiar with the game on a basic level, you probably took more away from the second video because it actually explained what was happening. it wasn't pretty; there wasn't any editing, pictures of idols or trashy acid trance. but, it did exactly what it needed to do: convey information to the viewer in a format that's easy to understand. so why do i bring this up? well, i've heard a lot of talk over the years about making tutorials for guilty gear, and much of it was just that. there have been some commendable efforts such as the mizuumi wiki, but ultimately those projects die faster than you can say "disinterest". there's some good threads here and there, but many of them contain outdated information and are hard to navigate. and while there are some video tutorials floating around, i'd hardly call them all-encompassing. i think there's a disconnect between knowledgeable players and those who want to learn from them. the former are afraid nobody will understand what they're saying, or that nobody will pay attention to it if it isn't presented well enough. while the latter, for the most part, simply don't give a shit. and this is where this idea of a ghetto tutorial comes in: just you, the game, and a camera. why not? there's no text to format, no intensive editing involved (hence the "ghetto"), and you don't have to worry about some asshole editing your contributions to the wiki. the best part? you could make a video for your character in less than a day. no need to worry about wavering motivation if you can do it in one sitting. naturally, some questions are going to be posed. such as, "who should these videos be targeted to?". the answer to that being intermediate level players; in part because there's not enough time to cover the basic mechanics in addition to character specifics, as well as the fact that most people that are going to become interested in gg in the near future will probably already be at least somewhat familiar with 2D fighters. and then, of course, "who's gonna make these videos anyways?". well, obviously, anyone capable of doing it. subforum mods seem to be the most likely candidates, but i guess any respected player could do it if they wanted. if there's ever been a time to do this, it's now. contrary to what some believe, gg does still have some life left in it (thanks nulldc!), and there are people interested in learning the game. like i said before, many of them have already played sf4/blazblue/whatever and have already read up on the mechanics, but are lost on what exactly it is they're supposed to do. if this isn't the best way to teach people who are genuinely interested in learning the game, i don't know what is.

here's an idea for a shirt: a coin pouch, a bottle of whiskey, a sword and a hat all sitting on top of a duster.

those sprites aren't hd, they're rendered at ~480p. i suspect this is part of the reason they zoomed in so close to them in xii.

it's sunday night, doofus. do you drink before lunch as well?

is something wrong?

"we just got a real match"

shoutouts to digital watches for coming. stay godlike, friend. shoutouts to oiboi for being loud shoutouts to ray KUSANAGI ES PUTO shoutouts to world heroes 2 shoutouts to bb players i didnt meet shoutouts to sanoshi for playing bridget shoutouts to koogy the godlike troll or something

i would offer to commentate, but i guess i'm a troll or something.

nope, that's the only one and nobody plays on it because it's on happ.

you think scott's commentary is that bad? you should watch a keystone stream sometime.

oh, you play aba? neat, now i have someone to teach troll mixups to.

i was talking with copperdabbit yesterday about this matchup, and how skewered it is in hakumen's favor. we both came to the conclusion that anyone capable of blocking arakune mixups is untouchable while sitting in the void. plus, any method of approach arkaune tries can be easily punished, be it with 5/6A, hotaru, j.D, whatever. just something to keep in mind if you're struggling with this matchup.

i was playing so bad today, lol. it would take no less than a splitting headache for me to lose to jake. next time, we should hold a world heroes 2 deathmatch tourney, followed by nba hangtime 2v2.

the boardwalk has an arcade. last i checked they had kofxi, marvel, vf2 and some other random games. good luck, you'll need it.

is it cool if i make this a 90's hip hop thread again?

i just tried to wipe your new sig off my monitor 4th wall breaking sigtrap technology™

KUSANAGI ES PUTO JAJAJAJA

http://streammonsters.com/ okay, who's behind this? henaki? ultradavid? bell?

it's like i said, everything is different these days. maybe if aksys had the resources back in 2007 to push guilty gear as hard as they've pushed bb, things would be different today (in the us, at least).
