Kinda lame but fighting games are too weird for average people. The average hardcore gamer like all that fantasy ass knights, goblins and everything in between.

So is Dota2 more "random" than UMvC3?

DOTA 2 is way more random than MVC3 or really any other fighting game made. There are a ton of inherent RNG mechanics built into the game. I detailed some of them not too long ago.

It's really just a staple of the genre.

Actually TI4 grand finals reminded me a lot of the Aquasilk vs Sanford exhibition.

It became brutally clear that one person didn't actually know the matchup and you're forced to watch someone not only get bodied but get bodied for trying the same failed strat over and over again.

Pretty much yeah.

It's actually a lot similar to the Luffy vs Bonchan GF as well. Only instead of the France vs Japan story line replace it with Japan vs Japan GF and replace Rose with Fei Long.

Seeing the king return to the throne was better. The only thing good about Germany winning was we got this out of it.

I seriously thought this was a usual case of net hyperbole before I found SRK. Now it's one of those phenomena that just makes me Keanu whoa.

It's like how "every black person plays Falco or Sagat".

whats strange about this is that these are the exact people they seem to want to appease the most by using the term esports and drawing the comparisons to real sports etc. maybe its a good fight that will be helpful in the future but i dno man i dont think you need to prove something you like is valuable in any other way than taking part in it and enjoying it.

like they really dont need to prove much they have a fucking 10 million dollar pot.

Canadian, Toronto most likely. We talked up by the production pit.

Someone remind me please? Thanks.

dota 2 team wins millions of dollars:

To be fair, the team that won are just emotionless assholes. If Vici, DK, C9, NaVi, iG had won, I can guarantee you'd see an emotional reaction.

RotK from Vici actually teared up in the post-match interview after his team eliminated his friends from DK in losers semifinals.

I wonder if someone can program the AI to be unbeatable.

Can never get hit because he can block perfectly.

Can never frame trap him because he will reversal.

Can never throw him because he will always throw tech.

Can never throw fireballs because he will always be moving forward into a zone you can't throw a fireball and if you do he will react perfectly to fireball with a jump in.

Can never miss a combo or confirm.

Can CH certain pokes with FA for a crumple.

All great games but since they're also fighting games the gap gets lower meaning the payout is even lower at tournaments. I guess people always liked team aspects better and they're also easier to sponsor than an individual. I don't know too much about DOTA leagues and all that because the only games I follow are adventure/action games and then fighting games.

Also Street Fighter/Capcom in general seem to always be the most popular and highest in terms of sponsors and players.

Probably wouldn't be too hard honestly. They can just read inputs and then decide an action on the next frame, like if they know you press jab, they can potentially spd your limb, but if it interpret a reversal srk, they know they can block it. The only problem if players come up with something dynamic, sort of how unforseen glitches are used in high level play. Like if it never known about some option select, it can be abused and blown up for free, for example how would it read the ST Honda OS where he stores his command grab and holds a charge for the butt slam. Though reading inputs isn't fun game design.

Here's what the creator had to say.

Interesting read. Right now he is going off the current game state for the AI to decide what to do, since he hasn't figured out how to read the input buffer yet. Once he does, it will get pretty crazy, making pressing any button pretty much a death sentence. It's also pretty funny how lag > than anything still.

I have my reservations about the frame trap bit of this.
