my steamid is simsiriphanh. I had inconsistent matches with GuardianE and a friend who is in Virginia. That's the farthest I tested at the moment. The results were mixed in that we had some rounds go good but other rounds the connection went bad then good. Sent you an invite anyways, even though I doubt coast to coast connections will be great but we can try anyways.
What site is good for stick parts? I think my buttons are dying. When they stop working I have to mash on them until I get normals coming out again. Did I miss some part deal or something during the holidays?

I've been searching for hours and I'm at a loss.
Anyone know which of Yipes' signature "Mahvel Baby" videos features the lines "Drop and gimme' 40! Drop and gimme' 49!!"?
I could have sworn it was either the original "Mahvel baybee" or its sequel, but I just viewed them and that quote wasn't part of either.
Am I making shit up?

if i recall correctly is a vanilla mvc3 video with jago
I am not 100% sure but it might be Viscant vs Jago exhibition set in Vanilla towards the end of it. Could be wrong though.

Even with your guys' help I've turned up nothing.
Thanks for the help though, brothers.
If I ever come across it again I'll be sure to post it up.

Yeah I think it's one where Yipes is using Storm and Jago is trying out Jill/Shuma.
It's been a while, though.
Even the thought makes me sad Juliana has been through so many names already.
Real pic january Tobe. You know you want it.
Once again: Santamu is the only one who fits the silhouette we got way back...
Could be fake, of course (the part about the name contest is probably wrong, for example), but it was part of a lot of other "rumors" that happened to be true in the end.
My first attempt was refused because I used my gapps backed e-mail that I pay for with a domain that I also pay for so I feel your pain. I'm sure there's a middle ground that could be reached. Subs only chat already ups the *cough* quality of stream chat.

If this is the one I'm thinking of it has some of the most hilarious commentary I can think of.

Yup. Focus attack is really good. I had a few orders with them, and no problems at all.

Capcom tax
$20 tournament fees are something TOs have discussed for ages. It helps to solve, in theory, how low our payouts are compared to heavily sponsored electronic sports. The prize pot will be twice the size of a $10 tournament, right?
Probably not. You have to factor in the number of players who would have entered at $10, but will not at $20. If you get 51% of the players who would have entered at $10, the prize pot is still bigger than before, and this is a double win for the tournament because managing a smaller bracket is much easier.
That said, what if those who wont pay $20 also decide not to pay venue fee and just sit this one out? That hurts the tournament's ability to pay for itself, and it is a risk that not many tournament directors have been willing to take.

Yeah, there's been talk about $20 for some tournies locally, but for a scene our size I don't think it's feasible.
For a larger event I could see it being less of an issue in some ways, Everyone sees the bigger events as the spots where everyone goes, so they're more willing to pay the extra cost to play with the bigger names and more people.

Have you talked to Yipes regarding his ROI on CM tournaments? Granted, he's not paying for the venue in those circumstances but maybe he can help gauge the idea a bit.
Its a totally different ballgame. Those are exhibition style events. They are not making the bulk of their operating funds from attendees, rather they are aimed at the audience. Not to mention the radically smaller scale.

Jebailey suggested the idea of raising entry fee for games with smaller player bases, since the participants usually are more hardcore/specialist.
Basically this wouldn't help the people who are complaining (Capcom games) and would help dudes like Romance who still give attention to KOF.
Seems like Levelup has the opposite idea though.

I can see the TYM thread complaining about persecution already.
(I was reading the one complaining about the player caps at SCR earlier today)
Stupid idea. Those games want people to participate, raising the fee will remove the folks who are giving it a try. I've entered games I want to play solely due to low entry fee before.
(TTT2 at FR a couple years ago being an example- I wanted to see what it was about, so I entered, and had to spend an entire match with someone screaming loudly amd directly in my ear to throw me off- worst tourney experience ever)
I think only Evo could get away with 20 or 25 game fees.

I pay 40 for MTG "Majors", as a direct comparison.
This is why we need mics on players on stage at Evo.
Test Your Might is a MK/Injustice/Killer instinct focused fighting game forum
The expectation is different. The culture is different.
MTG is a game that requires constant pay to continue competing in, while fighting games are something you pay for once and you can compete as much as you want. Or, in the arcade days, a quarter kept you playing.
I do like the idea of raising the entry fee to pay a bigger prize pot out, as it sucks putting in huge pot bonuses out of pocket only to have the usual suspects complain about it still not being enough.
I hope someone informed them about why caps exists, why they work, and why they don't keep players from playing. The only possible mistake Valle made was announcing they exist, as they almost never effect the player base.

But as I noted, this could very adversely effect my venue fee intake, which is how I pay for the event. Even 10% less venue fee last year would have caused me to lose money running UFGT9.

I remember they tried to promote Skullgirls too before it came out, but that game traded its American made fighting game status so it could become an honorary anime game.
Then you should lower the fee then?
I've never been to a tournament, but if I had the funds/time/skills to travel to a major, I would easily pay $20 per game. I'm actually surprised it's so cheap honestly. If I wanted to play two or three games, it would be a bit expensive, but I only live close enough to realistically travel to one major, and wouldn't enter more than 2 games anyway. Entry fee plus games I'd go as high as ~$100, but no more than that. Smaller tournaments, I have no idea.
