Do you care whether it has a healthy online scene?
Some thread recently a dude came back after ten years and posted "called it" for something he said when the thread started.
I'm expecting something like that. Don't let me down again Yams.

I reserve the right to customize it, but it will be based on your original av.
everyone reserves the right to do what they may, as long as it clearly resembles what my avatar used to be like the demi one or a link cap on it. you get the idea.

Something like SF or Tekken or GG would probably be a solid pick. A lot of people have been playing those series for a while so there's a lot (A LOT) to catch up on before you can even get to the stage where you're discovering new stuff for yourself.
And mastery.. i don't even know what that would mean. Beating everyone around maybe? That's out of reach of most people no matter how long they train.
Probably best to play what you enjoy if you're planning to go in for the long haul.

Try MKX. It comes out in a couple weeks so it'll be a blank slate for everyone, no catching up.
This is tough, I think most games are technically easy to play but are all harder to compete at a higher level. Guilty Gear and Virtua Fighter both have reputations of being "difficult" games, but I honestly dont know how much truth there is to that. I personally think you should just find a game you like and then pick up the most technically difficult character to master and then try doing well with them at a high level.
Now that you've brought it up, I can't think of any specific fighting game mechanics I would call complex. Feel like most are pretty straightforward and the complexity comes from knowing when and where to take advantage of them.

The general answer is no.
Exceptions would be in the case of some air command normals or air specials that can only be done from full jumps. For example, Yuri's air df+LK (KOF13) cannot be done from hops.
Is there more to it than just the jump arcs? That's more of a matchup question. I would answer that no as well. The different jumps combined with the game speed are why anti-airing and precise spacing is so difficult in KOF.

Streaming more Yatagarasu later today. The way the game lets you watch a recording of all matches you have played either online or off is really cool. I hope it's out soon.

This should be the thing for FGC/FGW-GAF during Evo.

Thanks, Juicebox. It was just something I was curious about lately, but I'm glad I know now.
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything on the basic level.
I can't find that avatar to rock it for this EVO again ;_;
Tentative NCR schedule it out

I really hope to 16 plays out on the last day for NCR and hopefully on schedule cause the struggle is real with that 3 hour difference.
I actually like it begin used for a hypothetical Marvel 4 announcement bet more. It's so perfect.
Q masks are definitely the EVO thing though.

Anyone have an idea what the MKX scene for PC will be like? It's like half off at Direct Play.

Why? It makes sense.
Obviously there's no true blank slate since fundamentals carry over and even in radically new games there will be some legacy design carrying over but compared to picking up a game like SF4 or Marvel or even a more traditional sequel like Tekken 7 a game like MKX would be a blank slate. There won't be tons of MK9 legacy knowledge you need to compete in MKX.
Now I understand why its called DFC.
Probably not great.
Also, I've only ever had good experiences with D2P, but I'd still advise against recommending unofficial key sellers, given recent events.

Yeah, that's a concern of mine, on the fence, haha. Recent events?

Just a heads up, WNF online featuring none other then myself in top 16. Sorry guys, I don't have time for autographs but maybe I will except a post fight interview if I have the time.

Yay. My Wii only had a bad power brick. Gonna get it replaced and my TvC is secure. Till then I'm just playing it on WiiU and doing some Chrono Phantazma. Azrael is really fun and I'm actually trying to learn how to use him now. Before all I focused on was Bullet and Platinum the Trinity. I need to brush up on my Karas/Polimar more before Saturday though...might have a tourney. Heck I should probably play some Marvel if I can...they seemed keen on visiting it and I aint touched it in forever.
So weird having a scene.

yo can someone explain to me about this young art joke? Are you guys saying now that arturo is old his reactions are not as good anymore. So when he plays well he is "young art" and not "old art"?
im assuming thats what it is lol, he's pretty old, +30's if im not mistaken. also, its yung art or fetus art.
you're thinking too deeply into this it's just a cool nickname to have

yo i think its safe to say after the end of WNF west coast players fell behind. Eastcoast especially NYC due to NLBC players are still leveling up and far surpassing west coast players. NLBC dont host marvel no more thats why East coast is not good at marvel no more but in SFIV i think EC>>WC by a mile.
this is my first time staying up really late to catch nlbc in a long while so i thought i might catch a bit of wnf as well. nobody likes seeing online plays huh? valle must be so disappointed with the poor reception (~400 viewers right now) since he managed to secure good sponsors (hyperx, alienware, etc) for wnf.

UGC gets pretty healthy turnouts at their events, lots of WNF regulars, so the West Coast is keeping up. Plus, other places arebhosting sizable monthlies and bi-weeklies in addition to that.
I wouldn't say EC is ahead of WC by a mile because WC has come to the east and have done well multiple times where as EC needs to travel more outside of the EC. Let's see is any make it to NCR and see how they do there.
I do feel that some of the more well known names on the WC are falling off while the new blood is stepping it up in the absence of WNF.
nah that kinda sounds par for the course actually.
Weren't they running slash at evo when ac had already come out?
