There's no validation to take here as I was stating the obvious and people thought I was acting childish.
Might as well take validation for saying telling people that pre-orders are bad or that PR people will say anything to sell a product or that leakers sometimes leak fake shit just to rile up some people. It's just obvious, plain as day stuff.
A Japanese company that had a beta that barely worked giving things to people based on IP address.
Well if they actually give people stuff based on whether their IPs pinged the servers...A Japanese company that had a beta that barely worked giving things to people based on IP address.
Then that's just going to feed into people's "white list" narrative.

Given that their servers were having difficulties, I doubt they would trust any server data for giving out incentives. They will mostly likely look at PSN IDs that downloaded the beta.
I am actually impressed by how open and honest Combo has been with players. I think it shows how serious Capcom is about creating a great game. Leave the denial bullshit to the crappy developers that just want to phone it in.

I love the picture of Momochi thinking next to Gamerbee. Captures the emotion and pressure of that top 3.
I know we like to give Gootecks crap for being a washed up player, but this is good stuff for learning the game from nothing. Stressing a strong ground game over learning to jump in for big damage combos is good programming imo.
What you think bout the mk scene moving to 60 second rounds?

The clock is slow and the offense is extremely strong, so it's true you never see time outs. I can't think of a single time out I've ever seen in a tournament match. I personally like time outs, they're tense and provide good drama. I doubt turning it to 60 would cause them to happen often. You probably still couldn't build a strategy around it but you could possibly play long enough to reach the point in the match it becomes a realistic ending, which never happens now.
I have no stakes as a tournament player anymore but I say if the community wants to try it there's no reason not to. It's post EVO so why not? There's a bunch of weeklies that could try it as an experiment.

It's that time again...
Damn that's so hard to answer, at least for Capcom fighters. I use almost every damn character since counter picking and having a ton of matchup knowledge is such a big part of my plan.
For any other game my backup character is usually the one that is that jack of all trades main character or whatever.
Guilty Gear: Sol and Ky
Blazblue: Ragna and Jin
KoF: Iori, Terry, Kyo
...etc
I usually pick these characters as an easy way out if I'm not having a good time with my mains due to bad matchups, or if I just want to turn my brain off.
On the topic about the size of normals, I wouldn't want ones like SF4, but I wouldn't want ones that are too stubby either. It's one of the reasons why KoF XIII doesn't click with me and why I enjoy 98 a bit more. The size of the normals were just right for me. SF5 feels a lot better from what I've played and seen.

A fan named EricZ19 created this amazing tribute to the Injustice scene. I know not a lot of you guys cared about Injustice but if you followed the game at all this is so good.

If you lose blame it on the laggy connection like Q does.
I'm surprised as well. I couldn't even play it for a minute.

I played for 6, and had at least 30 matches online.
It's all about leveling up your login tech.
First I pressed the button. Then, I realized that my toe could push the button for me. Still, I had to use the bathroom. I looked at my wife, laying on the couch in her 8th month, and realized that she could push the button during my bathroom breaks. Eventually, errands had to be done. It was then that I discovered the turbo button on my new fight stick. I left it on for an hour while I got dinner, and came back logged in!
Turbo got me in 3 more times after that.

I really hope Baek makes it into Tekken 7. I want as many feint characters as possible and he's a bit better than Hwoarang who can't block when his foot his up.
I sort of use Alisa as a feint character too, but I gotta have my boy Baek.
I feel like pad is better for certain games. Tekken is weird to play with stick to me.

There was a promo video where diago showed how he held a joystick and the benefits of it. At work so I can't link but it was kind of a wineglass grip but the joystick sites between the pinkie and the ring finger. (Haven't had a chance to watch the x counter video on what gootecks says.

I suspect it was more of a California bias.

Baek is soooo not coming back. Better start coping now.
Half my characters are gone.

Not that kind of white list
I've been trying to learn stick.
Inputs are easy enough in SFIV.
Then I switch to Tekken and everything I thought I learned goes down the drain.
Does Armenian count as white tho?
I played the beta for about 4 hours. I just had to be persistent and eventually I would get back on. One of the times I got disconnected from the game I got back on just with two attempts it was really weird. I played about 20-25 matches and when the connection was good it was godlike, almost like playing offline.
