Gyros so sick 😍

He's pretty great. I think he might be in the top 5 in the game.

Oh my god this new Cross Counter episode. Gootecks still doesn't know how rollback netcode works and that it's different than 4. This is starting to drive me crazy.
How is that possible for a 3s player that has to have some experience with OE/GGPO/Fightcade?

*loses 4 straight games with Ryu*

"Ryu is...only good on paper...paper champion"

[Kadey]

Watch the day one streams of Urien by Gootecks and Floe and you see the latter being far superior in figuring out the character and showing the audiences what the character is capable of. Floe is goofy but he's very good at teaching and conveying stuff to people. And he isn't about charging people for it.

I think Floe is also a cross counter coach.

I'm buying but it legit HURTS that they didn't dub. This game actually had good voice acting in it. Sad the final chapter will sound different.

 

[Kadey]

He's a CC coach but I think that's more CC getting him to do it. Floe doesn't charge for stuff on his streams. There's a lot of things he's done that would've been behind a paywall if Gootecks was in his shoes.

 

[CO_Andy]

I like Gooby but Floe is both a better player and entertainer than him.

No dubbed Mai no buy!

No dub is shit, but I still love BB so it is what it is. Games aren't made for free. The VA work usually costs a friggin ton anyhow. Shit like that scares me as an indie honestly.

I'm pre-ordering the game in a day or so, so don't worry about this impacting my decision to order: is there any chance that dubs will get added via patch at a later date? I really like ENG Hakumen and wanted to hear ENG Nine.

[Dlent]

The lack of dub hurts, but I'm on the fence just because of the online. It's still the same old online for BB that we've had for years, which is pretty disappointing considering how good Revelator was.

SKD has also made the good point numerous times that having delay based netcode for a game with only one frame of input delay makes it feel so much worse online compared to offline. A 3F delay in Xrd is only about doubling the input delay, but the same connection in BlazBlue would quadruple it.

No voice work sucks, but it's not the only reason I'm hesitant to buy CF. There's also the worry that we'll get an EX version later. Sure they said they won't do it for this game but I don't fully trust them.

No dub is shit, but I still love BB so it is what it is. Games aren't made for free. The VA work usually costs a friggin ton anyhow. Shit like that scares me as an indie honestly.

That's why synthesizers exist, so you can do all the voice work yourself.

 

[Tripon]

All the tournaments for this week for Capcom Cup spots.

Capcom Cup 32 spots:

Won Premier Tournament: (6 players)

Infiltration (Final Round, NCR, EVO) (1668 global points)
Tokido (CEO, SEAM) (1032 global points)
Gamerbee (Japan Cup, EGX) (730 global points)
Momochi (Stunfest) (524 global points)
Phenom (Dreamhack Summer) (482 global points)
Xiao Hai (G League) (420 global points)

With Infiltration, Tokido and Gamerbee winning multiple premier tournaments, it opens up 4 more spots to the Global Rankings from the original 8.

Qualification via Global Spot: (12 at the moment)

Justin Wong (980 global points)
Fuudo (804 global points)
Daigo Umehara (555 global points)
Julio Fuentes (548 global points)
Xian (518 global points)
Nuckledu (597 global points)
Eita (482 global points)
MOV (472 global points)
Luffy (455 global points)
Go1 (412 global points)
FChamp (398 global points)
CCL (397 global points )

Outside looking in on global points:
Mago (394 global points)
Chris T (382 global points)

The big change is MOV (472 global points) and Luffy (455 global points) winning and moving into the global rankings. That means Mago and Chris T are outside looking in on global points.

Participates qualify via global spots before Regional ranking spots:

Qualification via regions: (8 spots)

Asia: Mago (288 Asia points), Kazunoko (183 asia points)

Outside looking in: Haitani (176 Asia points)

With Mago losing his global spot, he moves into first on the Asian board, pushing Kazunoko to 2nd. That means Haitani is out of Capcom Cup now.

The most serious threat are Haitani (176 Asia points), Tse4444 (128 asia points) and Yukadon (74 Asia points), if Haitani, or Tse4444 gets at least 2nd or Yukadon wins FV Cup, or the Asian Online Ranking event, either can jump Kazunoko.

Europe: Mister Crimson (321 Europe points), Problem X (218 Europe Points)

With Luffy, MOV, and CCL having global spots, that means Mister Crimson and Problem X are in as European spots. There's still a couple of global tournaments left, so it's still possible for CCL to be knocked out of the global rankings and back into the EU rankings, which would screw Problem X out of a spot.

Latin America: Brolynho (305 LA points), Misterio (203 LA points)

Outside looking in: KBrad (196 LA points)

Edit: Misterio was able to get the 2 points he needed at TRETA to pass KBrad. He gets the 2nd spot, and KBrad needs to win the CPT LA Finals in order to qualify for Capcom Cup.

However, the TO of Treta says that Misterio has visa problems and may not be able to travel to Capcom Cup. If that is true, then KBrad gets the 2nd LA spot.

North America: Ricky Ortiz (247 NA points), XsK_Samurai (202 NA points).

Outside looking in: Chris T (190 NA points), John Takeuchi (144 NA points)

XsK_Samurai getting 2nd at The Fall Classic gives him enough points over Chris T and John Takeuchi, securing the second NA spot.

-----
Ranking events left:

FV Cup (Asia) (Oct. 22nd-Oct. 23rd)
Online Event: Asia-Oceanic Event II (open to Japan, Korea Korea, Taiwan, & Hong Kong only) (Oct. 22nd)

That's 24 spots, which leave 6 left to be grabbed.

Spots that still need to be determined:

Premier tournaments:
SoCal Regionals winner (Oct. 14th-Oct. 16th)
Canada Cup winner (Oct. 28th-Oct. 30th)

Regional Finals:

EU Regional Finals at Milan Games Week at Milan, Italy (Oct. 15th-Oct. 16th)
NA Regional Finals: Red Bull Battle Grounds at Seattle, Wash. (Nov. 04th-Nov. 06th)
Capcom Pro Tour Asia Regional Finals at Busan, South Korea (Nov. 17th-Nov. 19th)
LA Regional Finals, Sao Paulo, Brazil (Nov. 2nd)

That's... not a good trend. The PC data is sketchy given that they're all late releases and BBCT was discounted and bundled to hell and back, and between the fact that the game has always been significantly less popular in the US relative to Japan and that ArcSys makes less from US/EU retail sales than anything else (as there's a much bigger cut on digital and they self-publish in Japan), it's very possible that it would cost more to do a dub than they would make from the additional copies sold in the US, especially with how much bigger the cast and the story mode has gotten over the years.

SKD has also made the good point numerous times that having delay based netcode for a game with only one frame of input delay makes it feel so much worse online compared to offline. A 3F delay in Xrd is only about doubling the input delay, but the same connection in BlazBlue would quadruple it.

There's no way BB has one frame of input delay -- that would be unprecedented. I don't have input delay numbers for BB thought, although if I had to guess it would be roughly the same as the GG games, since ArcSys has some idea of what they're doing from a technical standpoint (unlike, say... well, the joke is too old to make now

You're not wrong and I get that. It's the way it was communicated to the fans and the VAs themselves that was irritating. They sat on the no dub news for weeks until they were called out on it.
