So just to be clear, the principle difference between a TES+ and a TE2+ (besides form factor) is that the latter is more modding friendly? That's basically it?

TE2+ has a removable cord too if that matters to you

Can this thread just be "Post the FGC-est video you got" forever instead of going back to arguing about Smash Bros or whatever?

Originally they were called SEs (standard editions) and were SF4 branded. Those were also pretty hard to find and got discontinued after a year or two. The brawlstick came out a few years later, same stick but with different art.

How is Capcom more responsible for the visuals in HDR (a game that was developed in America btw) than in SF2?

I'm sure none of the people who worked on SF2's art still work for Capcom, but none of the ones who worked on HDR's art do either.

Something I've been wondering about for a while is, what is the purpose of the Guts system in games that have it (or something similar)? I mean, I get what it basically does, in a general sense, I just don't really understand why a develop decided to implement it, and why the system still sees use. I don't dislike it or anything, I just don't really get it, I guess.

To make games seem closer

Is anyone here going to check out Combo Breaker next weekend? This is the first time I'm going to a big video game tournament, and I'm kinda excited and unsure of what to expect. I'm not competing, but we applied to show our game at their indie cade, so I'll be there aaalll weekend. Any tips/tricks/etc to have fun and/or just be **cool** would be appreciated.

I'm going with a few friends, only entered SF5 and Mystery Game, I'm mostly going to be dicking around playing casuals all weekend.

My advice is play as many games and meet as many people as possible. As bad as they can seem online, FGC people are generally cool IRL.

What's your game? I'll make sure to check it out.

I played Crystal Control II at combo breaker and it is definitely FGOTY (fighting game of the year) if any other goons are here you should go play it in the indie game area, and also check them out on greenlight. It's basically a 2 player vs shmup.

FChamp recently ranted on stream how online players aren't poo poo because online SFV doesn't mirror offline play. He was saying this because he kept getting bodied online by top online players.

He kind of has a point. Arturo is (was?) #1 online player and he played online all goddamn day, but he has been getting blown up in tournaments.

Infiltration plays training by himself all day and bodies everyone in tournament.

E: Primarily I think the problem is that if you play that much online, eventually you will body 99% of players you run into and will never be forced to elevate yourself. This isn't SF4 where you can grind out setplay and top 8 tournaments off it C. Viper style.

Eh, Art is old and a veritable choker, also considering him an online player is a bit disingenious even if he's playing online a LOT now.

He's definitely not an online only player, my point is that being ranked #1 online has turned out to not mean much when it comes to winning tourneys, and it may even be holding him back.

Since it's come up, for a fighting game babby who's just getting into KI and wants to try playing with a stick (never been a fan of thumbsticks or shoulder buttons for reflexive actions), what's a decent model / who's good to order from? Mad Catz, Qanba? Any to specifically avoid, and what's the difference in the price points they have?

Mad Catz, Qanba, and Hori are all good. Get a model that comes with Sanwa parts (most sticks over $100 do). The only other differences in the price ranges are the form factor (some sticks are huge which people like because they're more stable on your lap) and if they're multiconsole or not.

How durable are the sticks in fightsticks? I'm trying to pull off full circle moves but am worried that I may be too rough with my stick (Madcatz TE2+).

Those parts were made to survive abuse in arcades, I wouldn't worry about it.

However if you feel like you're being too rough on the stick it probably means you're doing the motions in a really sloppy way which will make you input moves a lot slower than you need to. When you do a full circle make sure you're barely touching the gate.

At the last Evo I went to the crowd picked who to cheer for in Melee based on which one would cause the game to be over sooner, which turned out to be way more emotionally involving than any other reason to support a player would be.

I am so, so glad I sprung for the floor seats this year because it means I can leave during lovely games and not have to worry about losing my spot.

For a game to be in majors it must have

a. high entrants/viewer counts
b. publisher money hat
or
c. both

I'd love to see old games at Evo again but it just aint happening unless we have some kind of FGC apocalypse scenario where all the new games/players die off.

I dunno if other oldgames fans would agree, but I'd even settle for poo poo like just get some official sanctionining/space for 'big enough' side tourneys (ST, vsav, etc) because the BYOC is a bit limited/inconsistent (disclosure: haven't been to evo in a year or two) and then some minimal late-night stream of the top 8/4 or something.

Didn't this happen with ST 2 years ago? When Mao won the tournament?

The KI numbers are interesting - seeing a game actually grow in popularity like that, rather than slowly die off. (The SF number is relevant for different reasons since it's 4->5).

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with KI coming out on PC this year.

I don't think Melee is esports. For one thing, no one would sponsor a smelly Melee player. It would look bad on the product.

I still have no idea why Melee is even on EVO. Can't be Nintendo paying for it since exposure to that game doesn't bring further sales for the newer game they are actually selling. In fact, Nintendo doesn't sell Gamecubes, Melee discs, or CRT TVs either, so how would they profit from it? Like, Mr Wizard likes money, and Nintendo wants people to buy Pokken and Smash 4. How did Melee get into this equation?
