The entirety of Deadlock being in this means we have a 3/16 shot at getting Luther vs Wardlow

If any of the Deadlock guys win they're gonna book themselves in a six-man tag match against Luther, Colten Gunn, and David Arquette in a Serpentico Mask

stand up segments can be fun.

Alright, I missed the rules, but Nyla in straight sets is a good opening match.

I'm just gutted we didn't get Jawny vs Chuckie T. John Blud would've been trash talking the whole time with his JR impression and it would've been gold.

That's the finals.

But yes, youtubers owning the talent should have been the entire point of all of this so now i am lost and uncertain

Same. It doesn't make for a very exciting watch either, shoulda waited for the console game.

Only skimmed through one video, but i'll watch all of the Uno vs Bates video. Game for all its good and bad bits, just doesn't seem compatible at all for esportsing. It's a management game where the pvp is see who got highscore. There's no interaction to watch.

lmao, Bates kinda buries the game a little
"you went hard on the gimmicks, but that didn't work. Why is that?"
"I thought it would. [..] I didn't get any women divisions because I couldn't do intergender matches"

i'm with her.

One way to salvage this is for them to allow the contestants to banter with each other over the gameplay as opposed to the dry commentary by Aubrey and whoever the other host is.

It feels like it should be a collectable card game where you put wrestlers head to head but I'm only allowed to play against myself.

I did think it was very funny how Nyla and Allie both kept booking themselves and losing their matches.

Starting to get the feeling this tournament should have been held off for the Actual AEW Video Game cause this game sounds Bad.

This is an amazingly bad way to show off the game. I tried getting through the second video but the repetitive animations and the dry commentary from Aubrey and Denker just isn't worth sitting through.

I think he is? but like mostly in a "will show up if asked" capacity for whatever isn't just voice acting.

well now i'm in a rabbit hole of TFS. Their podcast hasn't updated for three weeks now. The main channel hasn't done so in a month, though it's usually like 3 posts a month between CG animations and reviews. They used to host the podcast there, too, but they stopped posting the podcast to youtube a month before this current hiatus. As far as individual members go, they all got their own twitch channels. The TFS Gaming channel does see regular updates, tho. Feels kinda bad seeing TFS proper just peter out.

I only ever really watched DBZ abridged so I'm going to say no and pretend I'm right.

e:^ or maybe I'm actually just right and don't need to pretend

The decision to just show the matches and results is interesting. Like i understand that the core of the game is in the menus setting up the cards but i have absolutely no idea how that works. Can you just pick anyone? Do they have stats? This ad will not explain. Just "here's some matches they got 40000 points. Is that good is that bad who knows. Please buy dlc."

Plus they didn't even let Brandon and Macho talk past the intro, after Bunny and Nyla got fun promos.

these videos arent fun to watch at all. rather have the players trash talking each other

like do they predetermine who is winning the in game matches or is that automatic

Who knows! Seems like a good thing to mention even once in your big ad campaign for your new game. AEW thought differently though.

It's automatic based on the stats of the wrestlers.

The Jan/Pulse video where Pulse crushes him by running cards featuring the same people over and over in mildly different configurations is, uh, not a great look for this game

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
It's a shame we didn't get to hear the players themselves commentating and it's also a risky move to let Jawny ever play your games because he will find a way to break it day one
