Maybe its just me, but it always seems to be only Chris G complaining about monitors. At any rate, good poo poo from Momochi, glad to see a Ken in Grand Finals.

So yeah, apparently it was something about the monitor lagging because it's overheating apparently. It's always something about the equipment but it only ever comes up when someone loses, it's never a problem otherwise.

Chris G always complains about poo poo when he loses, but I'll give him a break on this one. Not because his complaints make sense, but because whenever you lose to a Ken, you need to vent somehow.

Wins Injustice, wins Marvel, is at least top 3 in AE, apparently broke top 8 in Skullgirls and Divekick too.

Chris G is arguably the best fighting game player in America right now.
Chris got 9th in Skullgirls, actually. He had a really tough bracket though.

I went to bed during AE top 4, do you mean to tell me that Chris G got publicly salty after he lost to somebody and blamed it on shoddy equipment?

My stars! I've never heard of such a thing!

It sure is a bummer that Chris G is the only guy who suffers from this crap rear end gear, though; nobody else ever blames their losses on a loving monitor overheating. In my mind, Chris G blames every small injustice in his life on poor equipment; he trips, and in anger takes off his shoes and throws them into a lake. He misses the train, and furiously tears his metro card into pieces. His dinner is burned; without words, he pushes his stove off the fire escape.

and then it hit me."


As dumb and whiny as ChrisG can be, he was not the first to mention or complain about lag on the stream setup, so it's pretty reasonable to assume that he was right about it being present. It obviously still affected everyone, though, so he's not gonna get any sympathy about it.

I'll take a whiny Chris G who has mastered characters noone else is particularly good at (Green Arrow, Morrigan) over the 100th Devil May Cry or Superman/Scorpion etc.

I randomly came across someone in streamchat saying that Apologyman stopped playing seriously, any truth to that? I was really looking forward to him getting better at Firebrand since he seemed to be the only one that got his one-touch-kill down.

Wait, someone else at the tournament was loving Noel Brown's girlfriend in his hotel room? Of every player in the FGC, why would you pick Noel Brown's girlfriend. How hot is she that you would be like "yeah I want to piss off a guy known for violently assaulting people".

Around 2am on Saturday morning, according to an Orange County Sheriff police report obtained by Kotaku, Brown allegedly entered a suite in the hotel where his ex-girlfriend was engaged in an "intimate encounter" with a second tournament player. We've left out names out of respect for both parties' privacy.

Kotaku respects everyone's privacy (except Noel Brown, of course).

I appreciate you reaching out to research this story, but would hope Kotaku, and Kotaku's interest in the 2nd largest fighting game tournament in America, is more positive and expansive than gossip reporting.

Nice shot.

The very first player in the AE brackets is the most likely to take the tournament, Infiltration. The very first player in the Marvel brackets is the most likely to take the tournament, ChrisG.

Nah, the fact that MadKOF is first player in KOF13, Infiltration is first in SFxT and Lord Knight is first in P4A has to be Illuminati, clearly.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
#1 is always the person with the most seeding points or whoever won the previous year. The exception seems to be FChamp in Marvel but he probably requested a later pool assignment or something.

He also gets a bye in the first round of Injustice and if I win my first game I get to play against him. Now, I'm motivated.

I'm actually kind of surprised to see such a low exclusivity for MK9, unless there's some weird overlap between MK players and Smash players.
