Great stuff. I miss whenever I had cool dreams all the time. These days I rarely remember any, and I'm too lazy to write things down in the morning.

I could imagine M2K running around using psychic and shadow ball all over the place. Dragon Kazooie is a little out there though.

I never posted these here because I thought "eh nbd" but after some discussion about them they're pretty neat. I got together with Bace and Colpevole, two of the strongest dedicated Persona players we've had, and made tier lists for the end of the 1.1 version of the game, if you're curious what Persona tiers look like to us. LK said something like "move teddie up and regular Sho down" on twitter but otherwise p good.

So what you guys imply in these is that outside Chie/Mitsuru/Naoto, shadow characters are pretty much irrelevant and have no reason to be chosen over their regular selves?

Yes, I should mention characters are ordered from left to right within tiers and if you see a shadow not on the list we believe they're irrelevant to their normal version and don't warrant an individual placement. Probably why shadows were hella buffed in 2.0. There shadows that are "good" based off their base character (Narukami, Teddie) but they're so noticeably weaker they're overall irrelevant to the metagame.

I'm sad I didn't see any charizard on stream when I watched Apex... Poor underused character :( He can actually go pretty even vs most of the top guys too :l Oh well!

Interesting. Thanks!
 
Anyone else checked out the new Rise of Incarnates release on Steam?

The game's in a lot better shape than the beta, but it still doesn't seem that fun.

why yall hating on the man trying to get some korean sidedish

lol, no h8 m8.

Heartbreaking ending for sure.

Yeah it sucks because Ness's distance gets cut if he hits something on the way back. It's one of those things I'm always wary about, like if I'm too far from the edge and the opponent at low % runs into me, there's a chance I won't make it back.

Wow, I didn't know that. That's rough.

MKX will have 4 Characters locked on the disc that you have to pay extra for to play. You either buy the "Kombat Pack" or pay the $90 edition:

Gone are the days when you can spend $60 and go home and enjoy a complete game. Not as bad as SFxT's 8 characters... but still WTF WB?

You'd think they would learn from Capcom. I guess since they have a lot of popularity with the franchise, people will accept this and give them extra money. Shameless practice in my opinion.

Only appropriate gif that would make sense of M2K's dreams.

Why would you say that about your own Kin?

Wow, 20% sold out for Evo passes already. So we should get moving on getting stuff together for Q, lol.

So like last year, we need enough for two tickets so that Nic can accompany Q and help him out as necessary.

If possible, getting enough to help Beef with the room a bit would be nice too.

Right now, flights are looking more expensive than last year and with no direct flight out of the airport they took last year. It's bizarre. I might need to look into it a little more. Weird that they'd kill the direct flights this year. =/

God dammit, with getting a PS4 and going to tournaments without a steady job for the next couple of months, EVO is looking impossible. Time to start saving for next year lol

It's not just your airport, the exact same thing is going on here too and I'm not even in the same country as you :|

This year's EVO really wants to be more expensive than the previous ones

Well Allegiant Air is hella cheap but I've heard they charge extra everywhere so I don't know but the base for them is like 300+ for 2 people where it's like 750 for other airlines. Allegiant also has a flight from Fresno too where the others require a stop.

That seems to be the best option if we can confirm Allegiant isn't total ass and make sure Q is taken care of on the plane.

Looks like they charge for stuff like using your credit card or putting a bag in the overhead compartment. They try to make up profit windfall by massive advertising pushes while on the flight. Also, according to an article, their seats don't recline.

If the flight is short though, it may be worth it... I might be annoyed by people shouting nonsense over the loudspeaker at me though.

Allegiant Air does charge exorbitant fees for just about everything ($50 carry on, $50-75 per checked bag unless you pay in advance, $8.00 credit card charge each way per passenger, etc), but they also have dirt cheap rates...

I can't speak for the actual flights since I haven't taken one, but if they're the only service offering a nonstop flight AND the fare is that much cheaper, it might be worth giving them a shot.
 
...And as proof that complaining on the internet is always the answer, right after complaining in the post above I checked the airplane prices again just to see how much it was. There were direct flights that were also the cheapest I have found these last 3 years.

Bah, if they're 20% sold out already, I probably won't be able to go.
Won't know if I'll be good until May at the earliest...

There's always next year...
Though maybe not if things happen.

lol, I'll check again and see like SolarKnight did. Allegiant sounds out of the question even with cheap flights.

I've heard that Tuesday afternoons is when they change prices for the week.

Fun fact: I have never won a single game of Tekken in a tournament in my life. The funny thing is, even games I'm awful at (even by my standards... stuff like SF4) I've managed to eke out a couple of wins in a bracket.

Let's see if I can break that "streak" at Evo! D:

I think you would still be able to go -- you just wouldn't be able to get into either ballroom at all on Sunday.

This is also the first year that they decoupled the main ballroom passes from tournament entries, which is good if you're one of those weird people who just plays random stuff all day Sunday instead of watching finals. Kind of stinks that the BYOC area won't be open at all on Sunday, though (unless they have a whole another room for it, but I don't think they have room for that as they're already using most of Bally's venue space.)

20% sold already for EVO? Guess I'll register tonight. IRS broke me off with that tax return in less than a week.

Also did someone take over M2K's account or he smoking that good kush?

that comeback factor lol
 
I hope the main hall passes aren't sold out until at least next month. The airplane tickets are enough extra expenses than I had planned for this month :/
 
Registered for Evo on Sunday.

Trying to get a travel advisor to help with getting a decent flight and use of the hotel discount code.

Staying at the Bally's.
