Apparently the FGTV house is getting evicted!

I got there after the main conversation but the chat says the streaming equipment technically belongs to EG and will go with Ricky so Champ is shilling for cash to get new stream equipment for himself eventually.

Is Ricky leaving the house??

Arturo and Team Stickbug are playing some anime games at Next Level on Arturo's stream, they're currently switching over to Melty Blood:

ANIME!!!!!!

Edit: Stream's finally back up with Melty, and Arturo's debating whether or not to stream Chaos Code later.

Also, Jaxel's streaming some Yatagarasu and holding raffles for the new version's Indiegogo:

Zhi's gotten better now that it seems like he's a little more self aware and able to reign himself in at times. Though maybe this is just because I haven't him seen him with a girl as his co-host in a long while, which usually resulted in his most cringe-worthy moments.

NLBC is dead to me. I took a peek to see what was going on and its Art's stream with MS samantha donations on spamming memes and god knows what while sci tries to commentate over it.

So awful. What happened to spooky?

I think more than anything Art's streams are a great example of why running a stream and playing in a tournament are at odds with one another.

I think as a spectator this EVO is going to be pretty sick, but as a competitor it's balls. Four games that haven't even been released yet worldwide, one of which doesn't even have a release date yet (Tekken 7). It'd be cool if Pokken was actually a good competitive FG, but blindly introducing it is just all sorts of stupid from a competitive standpoint. It makes for great promotion I guess?

I remember RIP saying that he would never touch Pokken again after winning the exhibition tournament Namco held last year. Obviously there'll be some changes between that version and the one released on home consoles, but it didn't sound like balance changes would get him to change his opinion.

Yeah, that's true... I typically figured that Japan is better because of its stronger arcade scene but honestly I dunno why.

Cue someone saying it's because of Asian math superpowers in 3... 2... 1....

I think because in Japan, fighting games are like FPSes in the US. They are so ubiquitous and popular (Or were for a long chunk of time), that anyone who plays games has a fundamentally strong notion of what it takes win in those types of games. Like your average arcade goer in Japan is far, far more skilled than your average online scrub in the U.S. Again, this is mostly speculation but seeing things like Snake Eyez getting bopped by randoms in a Japanese arcade (Yes, I realize Snake Eyez plays on pad) backs my thoughts up a little.

Gammatron 64 posted:

I get what you're saying, although the comparison isn't the most apt one because fighting games are no where near as popular in Japan as FPSes are in the US.

Yeah, that's why I added the "Or were at one time" cause they are definitely not at their late 90s peak.

Death Bot posted:

I feel like distance is a big thing too. The first daigo stream I caught was just 8 of the best sf players in Japan (in the world) hanging out,and that's probably not too hard to do somewhat often, but how often do you think, say, snakeeyez and lijoe are in the same room (or even within 500 miles) in a year?


And this too, if the entire US scene were able to play each other on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, I think the players would get a lot better a lot faster. The thing I worry about with Snake Eyez, is that outside of the NorCal guys, he hasn't really been backed into a corner in any of the WNFs. I feel like the minute he runs into a good player who knows how to deal with his bullshit, he'll start having problems that he hasn't had to overcome yet and won't be prepared for.

when their huge year long pro circuit explicitly has spaces on it for the highest online rankers,

Are you sure this is true. I know Capcom has said there would be online qualifiers for the regional finals, but have they said what determines who gets in?

That being said, I don't disagree with most of your points. Specifically, this launch was loving bad, not Sim City bad or Spore bad, but still pretty bad.

Aris seems like a nice guy. What he did was dumb, but I don't think he'd make the same mistake twice.

That said, he tries way too hard to be jokey on stream and it just gets grating after a while. Smart guy though. I'd like him better if he just relaxed a bit instead of trying to force a laugh every thirty seconds.

His humor hits the mark more often than any other commentator I can think of. Maybe Yipes is a little more on point, but I don't really view him as a commentator.
