Yeah, I had way fewer issues with that one. Jason at one point says that the video game Street Fighter is a "button masher," which was irksome. But the moment where June says "How do you know all these character names?" was damn funny.

Didn't think it's been said in a while, so just to remind people

it's a 5 button game, right?
I can only imagine that upper management wants all the money they can get now with SF's revived popularity. Glad to hear Ono is less stressed, we need the man out of the hospital from exhaustion and in making great games at a leisurely pace!

Most it got was 59k, most NCR got was 62k. I think the fact that it's a brand new game in the series gave it a pretty big boost. Can't wait to see how SFV does whenever it comes out next year.
NRS' weekly streams have been doing tens of thousands as well.
Have a lot of friends talking about the game as well. This is gonna be big.
Worth noting it's a pre release stream of a new game with a large casual fanbase that was more heavily marketed and broadcasted on a larger esports netweork.
The marketing is stupid real. My dad saw a commercial and had friends talking about it so he bought me a copy because he knows I like fighting games. This is the first super visible one to come out this gen, and in awhile for that part.

Might help that it's at a reasonable time for EU/UK too. It's late over here but it's not 4 am or anything, as is usual for SF4 finals. They're always last.
Hmm, guess MKX is confirmed for Sunday at Evo.
Wonder how many entries there are for MKX at at this time?
Ryan Hunter Vs Flash in Xrd semifinals for our Evo sponsorship tournament.

I still want to see the receipts on viewer numbers whenever (competent) companies with marketing budgets are involved.

Well, MK9 was pretty much an 8-button game with the inclusion of tag and switching stance.
Two punches, two kicks, block, grab, tag and switch stance. Tag and stance switching are difficult to get right if you don't have a dedicated button.
If you need eight buttons, I am fucked because I'm in the middle of making my stick six buttons but it seems like six buttons is enough.
Those are all shortcuts, though, right? Grab, tag, and stance can all be done through button combinations, I thought.
No receipts here but I could have swore I saw last week's stream at ~20k.

Yeah but it's more difficult to do in a combo. Then again, I've played a total of three hours or so. Maybe I just suck.

Whenever you play a fighting game of any kind... always assume this.
If you have trouble after many days of something, THEN look for alternatives.

Doubt it. The game is super new so a lot of casuals are watching this exhibition.
This happened in Halo. They had an exhbition for their league that ESL does, and it had about 50-60k views. When regular tournaments happened, they only had about 7k for most of the tournament, sometimes 13k max.
How is a cat suppose to play fighting games when they only have paws? Don't push yourself too hard.

It isn't so much the number, I more wonder how many of that ~20k are actually people.
great interview between john choi and seth killian. learning about the sf scene in a period of time where i was still wearing diapers is so insightful. they must still feel surreal that the game that they've played for over 20 years have grown from just playing for bragging rights to some playing it as a full-time job.

MKX is a 5 button game at a minimum.
4 attack buttons and block. Throw can be done with 1+3, stance flip with 3+4, interactable with 1+2 and X-Ray with block+3+4.

Robots love MK for Cyrax and Sektor.
Lizardmen love it for Reptile.
The game is for everybody.

Oh so that's why dash blocking isn't a thing anymore

Holy crap am I hyped for MKX now. That looked so fast out there and brutalities are just out of nowhere sometimes. It was awesome when the arrow from Kung Jin that was just a safe distance way to wipe out magic pixel went through Jax and tore his heart out!
Loving the pressure in the game. Run makes a huge difference. Delayed wakeups, armored wakeups costing meter, and breakers wiping out your stamina meter that is needed for backdashing and runs is reaaaaaally good. Just so much to do. I'm already seeing a lot of corner forcing by doing as much run up as possible in combos and i'm also seeing some get out of corner strats/counter strats. I about shit myself when Sonicfox was just relentlessly pinning MIT into the corner and got comboed by MIT only to Breaker the second they were back over the corner to put him back in there and converted it into another knockdown! Game is looking like a footsie wonderland for me to enjoy with all that to toy with.

That makes me so happy. Dash blocking looked so retarded.
Wow, went to wash my face after the last game and missed Flash's whole match! Dude got destroyed.
