For what it's worth, the supervisor for the warehouse guys tried to see if he could spare someone to cover for me this weekend, but he didn't have anyone he could spare since the store is trying to hire more people.

Speaking of Twitch, the android app updated with finally allowing the video go to small size if you want to browse to see if you want to switch to another video.

Japan actually likes KKR and he's probably top 5 if not top 3 in the West so he'll probably get in.

The dream is still alive.

Did they just confirm that you don't need PS+ to play MKX online on PS4.

Slightly off-topic since I asked on another thread and no one answered, but is the new Fire Emblem going to have two separate storylines for each game (Black and White) so I would need to buy both versions?
I'm not mad that there doing this, I actually want two versions lol

Apparently on the JP direct they said that there are two versions, once you buy one, the other will be discounted. The two games cover two different storylines yeah. There's also a 3rd additional storyline as DLC. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1021888 thread is here btw if you want more info.
 
wathcing Mk stream on art's channel. noticed 2 things:

-Sonya head is fixated at the her opponents eyes. which means that taller than her characters make her constantly stare up even during moves, looks slightly weird.

-De'vorah's limbs trade and win out everytime due to their multihitting nature.

I had no idea that this was a developer-side decision.
I'm pretty sure it isn't. I mean, hell the F2P version of DoA5:LR requires PS+ to play online with. I know most F2P games (and subscription-based games, like FFXIV) on the PS4 don't require PS+, but it would have been really weird if the F2P version of a game had free online play and the retail version didn't.

This came up on the JP direct, but it wasn't mentioned at all in the US one and kind of danced around with the EU one. I'm wondering if they're doing what they did with Bravely Default and Fantasy Life and they're changing how the game was packaged compared to the JP release. Really confusing messaging, if nothing else.
 
i have to give props to whomever did the scorpion MK X art renders.

i have seen many students with that image on their notebooks. 2 of them girls. weeaboo girls. fujoshis.

i asked them if they were MK fans. they said not really, but this will be their first MK title. they really liked the artwork.

one of them is a big skullgirls fan. she asked for my steam name to play, but i told her i don't play that anime games.



i predict yaoi artwork/fanfiction of scorpion soon.

So we finally filled all the empty spots in MK X's character select screen



25 characters + 4 DLC's.

29 is already a lot, I hope they don't add more
they totally will

I would have never thought I'd reach a point where too many characters in a fighting game was a bad thing but honestly I think around 24 is a good sweet spot. I hope Street Fighter V keeps a smaller focused roster.

Did they just confirm that you don't need PS+ to play MKX online on PS4.

No, just that some online aspects will not require PS+ or Live Gold. You can be certain that standard match making will be locked behind our overlord's paywalls.

Last time they mentioned that your activity for ranking up a faction and challenges didn't require PS+. I'm pretty sure that online multiplayer still requires PS+ on the PS4 and they just misspoke on this particular Kombatcast. We'll see.

man, fgc events really need to step their promotion game up. it's easy to say that fg is a niche genre so fgc events will have relatively low viewership count in comparison with 'esports' events but most of the time they've forgotten to point out how poor the organisers market their events to the public. just look at the sxsw and redbull invitationals. both events barely made 25k viewers even though most of the 'superstars' in the fgc were present.

Not a day goes by where I don't see someone who says that they didn't know that ___ event was this weekend. That's why I started this calendar to help with that a bit, but I can't make people use it.

You guys can check http://www.capcomprotour.com for all upcoming events, and we typically have a 2-week promotion period for events on our Twitter account @CapcomFighters.

I think we do a pretty good job on our channels keeping people informed but if you guys have ideas on other places we're not hitting to get the word out let me know.

You guys have been doing a great job. It's really on the TO to get out there to promo their event to people or to get streamers to run their trailer, or to go on somebody's show to actually talk about their event.

The info is out there, but the problem is the visibility of that information because it's scattered across so many sites, forums, and social media that not everyone uses, and some people are just lazy to go look for it. All you can really do on top of everything else you guys are doing is to get the info out there when it's the most visible like during a break in top 8 to run the trailer or talk briefly about what's coming up next. Maybe even show a graphic for what's coming up during the stream could help also.

Ok so I just got back from work and shit is still hitting the fan. Like in this local newspaper:
http://www.larepublica.pe/02-04-2015/campeon-mundial-de-tekken-jdcr-no-quiere-volver-a-peru

Other TOs here are having a very hard time because of this and they are watching years of work building credibility going through the drain as I write this. As a colaborator/friend of most of those other TOs I feel the hit too.

We're still trying to find out what really happened and we're talking to lots of people to get the big picture. So far I'm liking what this guy says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-WMC2d4xk4
 
It'd be nice if SFV has twenty characters. I think that is a pretty good sized roster right there.
one of them is a big skullgirls fan. she asked for my steam name to play, but i told her i don't play that anime games.
Did you post the fuckanime.gif on her FB page? lmao
