I thought I was going insane for a second.

So, I heard some rumors of a Marvel 3 patch coming this year. Is that trolling or real?

There's always rumors that there's another patch. There's the same ones floating around for SSF4, too. It's not out of the question, though.

There was some credible Marvel player that said on twitter that they talked to Seth after he left Capcom and he said that they were going to patch it (it may have been with regards to infinites). That's all I can remember, and it could be all bullshit.

What did he say about KOF? HS2 is running KoF as a main game and has had multiple qualifiers including one in France that Fox won and there's a few really good KOF players here who are looking forward to a good tournament so I hope you're exaggerating.

Cat Machine got a job and a girlfriend or something and now only appears on podcasts befitting his celebrity status.

Yeah I can't really comprehend people saying otherwise. Especially pre-patch, Skullgirls was dull as all get out and it still basically doesn't have a scene at all. Maybe Mike Z should fund raise to get his game patched on 360 instead of doing multiple fundraisers to get it at EVO?

The issue with the 360 version is getting it through Microsoft, which they said they made some progress on during their fundraiser stream but couldn't say much about. There's no point in raising funds for it when the problem is out of their hands.

Not saying that Skullgirls isnt pretty botring to watch, but Smash is visually dull as hell, with the benefit of being a decade old to boot. That, and as a casual observer, literally nothing in the game looks* interesting or skilled.

I'd rather watch Skullgirls any time, by a wide margin. Also those of us who are actually going to Evo would prefer not to have the Smash community around when we do (because I don't want some autistic 14-year-old to steal my poo poo and break into my hotel room and jizz all over my bed).

Post-patch SG is pretty cool to watch (I liked playing pre-patch but didn't really like watching it), so I'd definitely be down with that. I get that it sucks the 360 version is patchless but Melee is only on a 12 year old system anyway and has never been ported beyond the wii being backwards compatable so that shouldnt really be a strike against it for EVO

Not sure how comparable (roughly) half of the people who own the game not being able to play the most current revision of the game is to the game being on a non-current console.

One big issue with Smash is that the community for some reason refuses to play on anything but CRT TVs and I can't imagine they wont be whining about that if SSBM wins.

Gamecube games run at 480i resolution, so upscaling to 720p or 1080p would introduce unplayable input latency--a few whole frames' worth.

I think you can do something with a VGA box to lessen the issue but I don't know if it would be effective enough.

Its actually likely this time. A bunch of Marvel higher ups have been Tweeting about it on Twitter, sending the message Marvel has greenlighted another update (Marvel was the one initially who had to OK an update for licensing purposes).

There's also been stuff posted on the official MvC3 Facebook page about passing the fan demand for new content on to Capcom.

It seems probable. I mean SFxT and SSF4: AE 2012 are both getting updates and Marvel pulls bigger numbers at tournaments and for stream viewers than both of those games. I kind of get the feeling that Nitsuma is super burnt out on Marvel vs Capcom and Capcom's gonna make him churn out a 2013 update anyway though.

Honestly if people get put off going to one of the two uk majors in a year for KoF because someone said something about how long the games take (and kof does take significantly longer per game than anything other than like possibly Strekken), it's no wonder why the KOF scene is tiny. It should be like the VF community where people like MarlyJay (I think that's his name) came up from london to help Seidon from glasgow run a VF tournament he and Seidon didn't play in but put up £100 in prizes for, I mean it's VF so it probably won't help that much but it would be nice if every game's scene wasn't so embroiled in bullshit drama that they spite themselves.

Also great news on the HOG, Mark's been sorting out an arcade machine for me so i've been fairly up to date but I didn't know you guys actually found a place you're happy with, presumably one of the zone 2 ones after that thread about the zone 4 one.

Yo gently caress you 3S teams is on, also known as the best tournament of the best game ever made. Plus KOF13 is a really great game too.

Wasn't it the exact same pricing as last year though? Hotel function rooms for weekends aren't cheap but I do find the spectator only fee being the same as entering one tournament kind of silly, not sure what the reasoning behind that one was.

I can only imagine it was a way to try and convince would-be spectators to enter tournaments, either to bulk up numbers or to get more people playing games that they might not have played if it had cost extra.

Still training..
So here's a cool Virtua Fighter vid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U9s_H9YgsE

Basically showing off some really dirty ways to exploit the tech roll system and sideturned situation for every character in the game.

What he's doing is setting up a knockdown that the opponent quick recovers from, and positioning his character to be at the quickrising opponent's side. This lets him perform unblockable meaties (blocking from sideturned is possible but requires extra time, which a meaty attack doesn't allow for) into guaranteed throw situations and even combos. This gets really nasty at the wall where lots of otherwise ordinary moves give guaranteed follow-ups (especially during a sideturned situation) and of course wall combos are possible which generally hit like a truck. Or maybe two trucks. Ten. Wall combos hit like ten trucks, gently caress you.

The full sequences he's showing off aren't exactly practical of course, but there's some genuinely useful stuff in there regardless. Anyway it's neat, check it out!

Evo is really expensive to run, for real. That's a good enough reason, and to convince people from just showing up and taking up space.

Just get a PS360+ and put it in there. Don't even bother trying to do a padhack. The sfxt pro is a pain in the rear end to work in and it's hard to dual mod the 360 version let alone PS3.

Yeah, I was thinking the ps360+ is probably the best choice, but I was considering the cthulhu for awhile, too, so it's good to get some direction there.

I'm curious now, though, is it just a thing with the PS3 board being placed differently that makes it harder to work with, or something else?
