Rolando teamed up with Pokemon to promote DA BEECH?
Whoever it is, I thank them for providing me the jam.
I'm not. The most important thing here is what benefit does the community section offer the community? Karst threw that out there, you didn't respond. I can only thing of negatives. I mean, yeah you're doing a decent job of describing reasons why parts of this thread will work in a community format, but you're not offering any meaningful positives, only downplaying losing stuff like the weekly spotlight. Nobody checks OPs of community threads, especially if they're edited. They wouldn't work as single posts either, and as a result wouldn't work in the community format at all. I also don't understand stuff like this pseudo-evaluation of trends without factoring in what actually happened in those weeks to try and prove a point:
If you can describe pros that the community thread would offer that vastly outweigh losing these benefits other members of this community keep on citing, I'm sure more people would be inclined to go pro-community as well. Repeating that stuff works in both formats doesn't help. Like I said, I'm all for a community thread as it saves me hours out of my week, but I primarily see negatives to varying degrees.
Nintendo has been going for more soul inducing music recently, they better keep it up. Super Mario for the Wii U has an immaculate soundtrack.

whatever happened to 16 and pig of the hut regarding big e's tourneys? they still banned? that'd be really unfortunate

Nice avatar, Astarte. Schierke is a real likable character.
It still mystifies me that SG is the one game that allows me to cross into 80 and 90 hit (without hitting IPS) territory at will considering all the buttons. I guess it's a testament to how well thought out the hitstun, charge times and motion inputs are.
Can't say I'm all that excited about current gen yet. Smash and MK8 are going to be great, but they're on Wii U and Nintendo hardware continues to disappoint me more and more each generation. Bloodborne will literally be the second coming of Christ, but the PS4 is expensive and it doesn't play PS3 games.
I can tell you what KOF would be like. It'd be a lot more accessible for combo newbs like me.
Not everyone. If you are a duo player you can skate by with seven.

It doesn't offer a direct pro, aside from laxer moderation. But Shouta barely moderates this thread as it is, so *shrug*
And you could just direct people to the OP if you're worried about someone not reading changes, like other active threads do in the "graveyard." You could stil edit the OP to have player spotlights each week. You could still do all the stuff you want. Going into Community wouldn't mean you lose everything.

Why do something with no pros?
All of these things you could to but they'd be hopelessly ineffective. I don't think a single person here would check those edits, significant or not.

Why do you never use Subscriptions?
Because there's also no cons?
And you know this, how?
See, I knew you had amazing taste. If Miura grimdarks Schierke into an awful death I swear no idol will be left unturned.
I'm in the same boat with the current generation, at least moreso with Xbone and PS4. Nothing excites me at the moment except MGSV and even then I have no hope in Kojima actually making a great game.

I do things because of pros, not a lack of cons. In fact, no one does things because of a lack of cons.

Two of my favorite topics thrived when moved to Community, I can play that game too.
Because that's too much of am investment. Same as committing to check shit if it's in Community,
There's many cons.
He knows it from anecdotal evidence which I am now providing.
Why on earth would I use subscriptions for anything?
That's not a reason, that's a lack of a reason.
He doesn't, he said he thinks.
this thread is already thriving so why bother even discussing this?
Reading this and the last thread seems to make it apparent that Professor Beef is the only person arguing in favor of a move to Community, with enzo_gt also being slightly in favor (though that could have been a joke). Hopefully this doesn't come to pass since the vast majority wants the opposite to happen, including myself.

Fine, I'll drop it.
I used to bother with updating community OTs, in Gaming and OT.
For a long time, in the Marvel OT I used to update OP with teams/characters that won majors and statistics of the sort, even with links to the archives at the specific point at which Marvel started. I also used to update the hip-hop thread when GAFers would get into a rap battles or with links to their soundclouds/bandcamps.
I'm saying it's an unrealistic expectation, that's all. People have even said here that they wouldn't check for these threads period in that format, I don't know about them checking OP if they do. A lot of people in the past have said they only check OP once when it's posted, which is probably one time more than they'd ever check a community OT.

What difference would it make, don't only the same dozen people post in these threads? I'm serious no kappa
autoshop this thurs?
This, now lets move on to talk about anime. I like your avatar astarte, Berserk is godlike.
Yeah probably. I'm gonna get drunkish. Not going to work on Friday cause Fan Expo
kkkk. I'm in KW area from tues to fri morning so I figure I'll pop by.
Golden Boy and Berserk? Yams you good in my book.
Let's please not move to community, I don't touch any part of that place that isn't buy/sell.
These threads focus too much on themselves and Capcom FGC drama and/or memes, with a huge noise-to-signal ratio that makes their usefulness and weekly frequency questionable.
Also, this week's OP ignores the KoF anniversary and the thread starter is interviewing himself.
These things, to me, are strong enough reasons to keep this stuff in Community.

Tell me more about this KoF Anniversary. Is there a stream? An event? I don't generally put anniversaries in the OP.
I spent all the free time I had this week to work on this thread looking for information on the Arc Cup. More effort put into that then the entire rest of the thread, I'll have you know.
I rented Golden Boy on VHS in like 1997. Shit was gadlike.
I also rented some pretty bad Fighting Game animes around that time. Street Fighter the animated movie is some good shit though.

Phew. Repaired my HRAP3. Whoever decided that you should need a socket wrench to access your buttons in an arcade stick had some weird engineering priorities.
Anyway, I'm gonna be on Ultra PC if anybody wants to play.
God's Beard on Steam.

Nothing really happened. There's a poll on TYM that had overwhelming support for us but they never said anything. I don't think they care, we're just done. Oh well, plenty of great tournaments to attend.

What's the general consensus on Lobo? I was thinking about learning how to use him.

If you want stuff in the OP, tell Enzo. The man can't research it all alone. Also, he was nominated to be interviewed next.
We get new people all the time. Yams and Cain are pretty recent additions to the regulars here.
Focusing on streams is pretty dumb IMO when a game's popularity extends past a single country or continent - there are things called time zones that mean that people following something like EVO live have to be on their way to work by the time it ends, and that's flippin' EVO.
It's not reasonable to expect live streams to be the standard of game activity around the world when schedules are impractical for half of it.
Something like a link to the topic Silky created some days ago would have been sufficient (on my phone, so tricky to link now).

He's pretty good. Was basically redesigned in the final big patch last year and is now at least mid tier. Best thing about him is insane damage. He can do like 60% combos. He's a footsies character. He's good at jump range with a long range overhead/low mixup, one of the best dashes in the game and his trait shot gun blasts are super good. Great command grab too.
I'd just like to note that it's not just American streams we post here. In fact, there's a major tournament this weekend going on in Australia that is always exciting. If it's big, we try to feature it, no matter where it is, and provide local and domestic timezones for when the tournament starts for international GAFers. Don't get me started on all the Republic of Fighters I've posted that nobody cared about lol
Additionally, I can only do so much work. When people tell me something needs to be in OP, I add it, because I pretty much only get time to scan SRK's tournament subforum (which I can't even really say is Capcom-bias anymore) and add what seems to be bubbling the most (more than 1 reply). We also cover releases, but I'm open to suggestions for other things to add. Keeping track of all this stuff is much more work than it looks to be, believe me.
I guess I'll just link this post, thanks. Was mainly looking for schedules and stuff, but yeah, stream is the biggest concern.
