Ultimately, that is a stupid ass discussion because we don't know how many of the people who bought games actually play them. (Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't account for things like Game Pass.)

Besides, console war-esque discussions hardly ever lead to anything productive.

So...fuck the overwhelming majority of the scene because some people are on PC?

 

Yeah, good shit.

Maybe one day Sony will have something like Steam Charts and we'll actually know how many players play on the damn thing.

Other esport communities is usually partnered with one or more of the major computer companies (Intel, AMD, Nvidia, MSI, Corsair, Asus, etc) who provide the PCs. They often do so to use the games to promote their parts and peripherals. 

And if you remember, Sony did get a lot of FGs over Microsoft last gen. Now they got Evo. Don't forget their partnership with Capcom to put out SFV.

PCs will not be the offline standard platform just for that, pair it up with other logistical issues, and it's damn near a 0% chance.

This is one of the reasons why good netcode is so important. PCs will rely on online tournaments for a long time until they get their chance to shine.

Fighting games is low demand on PC. If you check the recommended specs of the most recent games most of them have 3rd or 4th gen intels and graphics cards dating back to GTX 6 series. A toaster can run most of these games. 

I can personally attest to that.

I'm not quite sold on them being logistically viable for tournaments, but if you think about it, how come the other eSports can pull it off? There's something the community at large is overlooking here.

As unbelievable as it may sound... The Pokémon Anime managed to put out a legit season.

Deadass, this is actually good for once. I am skipping a lot of filler-esque episodes and the ones featuring Ash's partner based on Pokémon Go, but like, it's actually the most hype this anime has ever been.

I don't even know how to process this information. It would be like watching an Dragon Ball arc and it having good writing. That shit is unprecedented.

I remember talking about Testament, Kokonoe, but not Shadow Chie 🤔

I was talking about the community at large. I'm pretty sure Jiyuna has some choice words about Shadow Chie. 🤣

No amount of copium can make people believe that'll happen.

Hot off the presses baby. 

I'mma guess... This:

I really want to inhale some copium and say BB is back, but realistically, ArcSys is probably putting out Season 2 for Strive and a Shill Pass for DNF, so I don't think BB will be back right now.

(Do I need to go on another diatribe of why Strive is garbage for example?)

And you don't really need to stick to Strive either.

Remember Testament? Kokonoe? Shadow Chie?

Just dropping by to say the current thread name is amazing. 🤣

Edit: 

This is amazing lmao. Shame Legends is so easy even without catching absurd level Alphas, especially when you can catch them with stealth tactics. Doesn't work for all mons though, having to scrap with a Lv. 65 Alpha Infernape is scary af.

I had a blast with that game tho. Can't wait for Scarlet and Violet.

I'm going out on a limb and say Punk said that too.

Man's on fire lately. 🤣

Could also be a Zeku win quote vs. Ibuki.

The only thing Ibuki chases is dick tho.

I can't be the only one that hopes that a totally unknown player passes through all the qualification rounds and washes all these twitter warriors by taking the finals.

That already happened, remember MenaRD?

Idom too, tbh.

This is the only video game genre that matters. If you don’t play this shit you just don’t know. 

Facts. That's why it's so bewildering to see "top" players whining 24/7.

Like bro, how can someone actually play games and not get that dog in them? That mindset, y'know?

This should be the X-Ray of every FG player.

Let's be real, they only said that because of how good it looks.

Game doesn't have enough content to hold a candle to BT3 or XV2 and y'all play enough FGs to know it's wack on that front too.

Finally!

Fairly good picks and the track complexity seems to be ramping up as expected. I thought they'd save NY and Sydney for later waves tho.

Interestingly enough, looks like they're not really bringing Anti-Grav to the older tracks.

It would be good for some moves to no longer chain when they are blocked. The move Hitman does where he throws his sword,

236M? I don't think that one actually chains into anything. Isn't the common gatling A -> B -> S -> MS?

It's +2 tho, so I get that you can't exactly try to mash after it. You play Grappler, right? I don't think he has a lot of options if Hitman's 2A reaches after that. Dealing with a "5f" low sounds rough for him. It should be easier to deal with it if 2A ain't a threat tho.

I can't wait to see what will happen after people really start to lab those matchups.

Y'all ain't using incognito mode? 🤣

But imagine some of these evil characters getting a animation where they punch someone from the crowd while moving towards the ring lol.  

Rog is 100% doing that or this game is a bust. 🤣

Btw, how many people here actually got DNF? If so, PC or PS4/5?

To be perfectly honest with you, I'm just trolling Sonero. 🤣

As for what to do or not to do balance-wise with the game... The game was released a month ago.

I'd rather wait and see how it plays out for a minute before talking about any kind of changes outside of obviously "not working as intended" things like the infinites. (Which I'm pretty sure got patched out ASAP.)

People are too knee-jerkish when it comes to balance changes nowadays, this ain't a beta, let the game marinate a bit.

I really had somebody tell me I was wrong for saying Vanguard was ass after he was left unchanged from the betas. Gonna find that shit and screenshot it because that guy can suck my nuts.

 

😂

Vanguard was cooking on the Can Opener last night, could it be that Vanguard isn't the problem? 🙃

Mario Strikers BL is pretty fun. I dunno how the Cups are compared to the Wii's version, but I definitely appreciate the gear customization.

Shame that the positions seem to be fixed around the order you pick your characters. I'd like to run with Waluigi as the captain but I've built him to be a defensive powerhouse.

The one thing I'm really missing is the old slide input. Really not digging it being tied to perfect tackles.

Really fun game tho.

No not at all, look how alive and well SFIV is!

SF4 was dogshit, that's why people don't wanna come back. Don't get it twisted.

Matter of fact, that whole point makes zero sense.
