i want smug vs daigo round 2 :C
For me, it was this stage:Its that time again...
This coincides with the first time I played Street Fighter II on my Genesis, and man it not only gave off an atmosphere for me but also kind of sparked my imagination. There was stuff in the foreground that went over the character sprites, people cheering on in the middleground and background, this grimey industrial look, foreign lettering, the glow in the background, it was complete. I remember switching over to the India stage and it feeling sparse and static in comparison. Of course it's stereotypical, but it felt cohesive to me. I was on Zangief's turf, and his presence was felt everywhere.
I remember that recently I came across this piece of art and I found it difficult to find that same connection with it, despite a lot of the elements being there and being nicer. Felt too sharp around the edges, too geometric, lacked the feeling that the other one gave me. Of course this is just a simple concept, so I sometimes wonder what the stage would look like if it was fully realized or Capcom decided to revisit Zangief's stage. I really appreciate Capcom going outside of the box and doing stuff like the Train Yard, though, which I feel like will turn into a classic years down the road.
how long do i have to keep this avatar for? and sorry bakedyams.

Things are about to get a lot more confusing. Then again, Yams could change his avatar.

This needs to be in SFV.
Either this or:
Would trigger a cataclysmic nerdgasm across the world.
Imagine the stage transition for the field knocking you into a daytime field lol

Because it sucks having to see it for a couple of hours straight.
Unfortunately I don't have it on Steam, just been messing around with non-Final Edition on the 360.
But yeah, still my favorite. I really liked how a lot of the characters turned out. Everything about the game just suits my style more.
Oh wow, thanks. This is really helpful. Only thing missing that I would've liked is invul frames (I still don't know which light DPs have invul) and active frames.
This really helps speed things up for me though, I appreciate it.
Only on 360 at the moment. I'll get both 98UM and 02UM when I get a computer that isn't a toaster.
that's why? lol
if the players agree to play there... tough shit to the spectators who think it sucks to see it.
I've always liked plain stages without weird shit going on in the background. The SFxT stages in Ultra are especially dumb like that.
Played a bit of 3s on ps2 and a shitty RCA. even with a crappy dualshock 2 it's shocking how much more playable it is on crt than emulated on pc. It's like night and day for me, which only makes me sadder there's probably no cabs in chicago for any poverty games. other than galloping ghost in brookfield, and i heard their 3s cab is shitty.

Well, we agree to it because of potential lag reasons. I hate picking it, but I still do, heh. I hate that stage. I hope ps4 fixes this stage stuff.
I agree though, I hate all the sfxtekken stages in ultra. Especially online when they is lag. Gives me headaches. I like relative stable stages like the jungle bridge and without all the damn red in the background blending with the life bars. My color blind ass can't stand it! Haha.

Also, Smug is the only American in the top 10 USF4 ranks
I was playing ranked yesterday, matched up against Henry Cen (he was using Seth). I won that match but had to ask him if he could teach me the matchup against Honda.
I begged

Hm?
It's pretty much abuse K'/Kasumi/Nameless, or run away with Athena and Bao.
Game is more about running gimmicks than solid play.
98UM has better balance and more interactive play. (some bs in 98UM as well, but not that bad)

Oops
This seems odd though, from what I've seen the game hasn't seemed especially gimmicky. Maybe the online population just spams gimmicks, but that's not really what the game is about, is it?
What do you consider gimmicks that those people spam? Just picking top tier? Or some kind of gameplay with that team/those characters that drives you nuts?
It's annoying to see it over and over. If someone picks training stage, I intentionally pick a non-training stage just to annoy them.

Mostly that runaway is VERY easy with some chars. (and this is me complaining about runaway- runaway is my best style), Athena and Bao can run a lot of time off the clock. Mai's runaway is pretty good too, but it's fairer in comparison. In 98, runaway is doable, but it's easier to punish- you don't need to make multiple reads to get in.
Lag in Athena's case really makes the runaway even more effective.
So I re-watched the Dieminion vs Fuudo match. Does Fuudo have no respect for Guiles? Because he was playing pure rushdown, even reckless. The chicken wings at the start of almost every round was pretty amusing too! This isn't the first time he's destroyed Die by being super aggressive (last was WCG). I understand Guile is a zoner, but I think Fei can still win by playing more patient, which I thought fit his style. Guess he wasn't in the mood, lol.

You want disrespect, watch FChamp vs. Full Schedule. He's just straight up insulting FS with his gameplay.
What's he sleeping with? Doesn't like a waifu pillow.
Not yet. I wished it would have made Capcom's top 5 moments at least.

Thank you. As far as the notable events, it's as accurate as I can make it provided that the organizer provides those pertinent details. Not everyone is good at that, especially now with info scattered all over the place and on social media, but I've been able to put the pieces together, and if any changes, I'll make those updates as well.
I also added some local events that are also taking place this weekend that I didn't get a chance to add. TSB should be another drunken riot.

As far as favorite stages, Alpha 2 and 3rd Strike have some of the best 2D stages that I can think of. CVS1 also has some great stages which really tied the two companies together. This stage in Xrd is also a standout for me.

In 3D games, Osthrinesburg Chapel in SC2

And the Lotus Garden in SC3. Alot of people like to trash SC3, but it really has the best stages and music of the series.

I think a week is fair. Don't you like being yams red headed step child?
That top 10 is interesting, but it's based on points accumulated? I think Fuudo is easily more dangerous than Smug or Snake. Oh by the way, there's two Americans in that top 10 unless that page isn't up to date.
With all the talk of remasters being a plague lately, I'm tempted to buy the upcoming PS4 port of USFIV lol. I'm hopeful that with Sony help, it's not going to suffer from frames delay and the netcode can't be worse than on PSN for the PS3 right?
Aris just put the ATP Live they've done @ Final Round, with Harada-san and Michael Murray on his YouTube channel, for anyone who missed it
Very good interview, Harada is awesome

I'm confident Capcom forgot they announced Ultra for PS4.
Platforms were the perfect height for practicing the game's variety of movement options. I'd lose hours of my time just being creative there, and the transformations only supplemented that. Most people saw FD a training stage at the time I played, but for me, that was the training stage.

Are you watching a stream to look at the background or the actual match? Leave stage selection to the players and not the viewers.

K'/Kasumi/Nameless and most one-character-switched variants thereof don't seem like a very runaway-oriented team to me at least?
Gllty with the prematch mind games
If you've seen imstilldadaddy vs mago way back in 2012 version he plays exactly the same way. Fei just mauls guileand that's the way the matchup is best played. Jump strong too good especially in the cornerSo I re-watched the Dieminion vs Fuudo match. Does Fuudo have no respect for Guiles? Because he was playing pure rushdown, even reckless. The chicken wings at the start of almost every round was pretty amusing too!
In all seriousness, hope that it works out for him. Nobody should lose their job over this.

Pick Akuma. Done. Guile has to play footsies or lose.

There was a good like 20 seconds left in that first game when Champ already decided he had won.
I don't think that includes Final Round yet.
At the bottom, it says it's included in the last added tournaments part.

Ah, there's a separate listing at the top that made it look like CWC was the last one added.
Marvel rankings are a bit out of date though.

yea I noticed that. tbh I don't think I was paying any attention when posting that shit
Its that time again...
I used to be a huge Tekken fan before Tekken 4 came out, I've gotta go with Tekken 2 Kazuya stage. So simple, but it felt like it was just you vs. who you were fighting to finally settle the score.
Runner up is proably Guile's SF2T stage. The music, the blue uniforms instead of green, and finishing someone off so they hit the boxes was so gratifying.
