Curious, do you have access to the full brackets for those games at FR? Or any other brackets for that matter? Any guidance here would be appreciated.
For some perspective, up until very recently (either this year or last), the official rule regarding bracket floating at Final Round, posted in plain daylight on their official website for the whole world to see, was simply this: "No floating shall occur in top 8 unless all remaining players agree." That implies that (1) floating can occur before top 8, and (2) not all the players in the bracket have to agree in order for it to occur before top 8. Current FR rules have nothing regarding floating one way or another, which essentially means that it's up to the whims of the staff.
All due respect, your logic is incorrect. The second assumption cannot be made because you're ignoring the explicit condition for top 8 matches. As you state in the sentence after, top eight is a no-man's land when it comes to rules on this matter.
Baroque is just a cancel and a damage boost relative to the amount of life you burn, and doesn't last longer than a moment if you are not currently hitting the opponent. So basically its something you use mid-combo to extend what you are doing, or to make something you are doing safe, or as a tool for a mix up
So, one hit x-factor. That makes videos I've seen make a lot more sense. Lots of risk/reward there considering red-health is the cost. Probably something used frequently if you were getting a cancel off it.
Never
forget.
I also agree long combos suck, except for in Marvel where they give gratuitous opportunities for players to be creative, do crazy custom combos and be super disrespectful. That's a big part of what makes Marvel great and wouldn't be the same with short combos/strings because of the narrower room to do anything cool
Agreed on Marvel, although I don't mind optimized combos. If anything, it helps me understand the game engine more and what can be done.
Long combos in any other game? Probably only interesting when you have a large crowd watching, like Evo top 8.
One of the best. Seriously, FGW would be so much better if we talked TV instead of anime sometimes (and anime doesn't count because some of you watch it on a TV screen).
WHAT THE FUCK GOOD WIFE WHAT THE FUCK SERIOUSLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I posted that here just so CasperOne sees it. Also, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hold that.
My DVR was bodied because of the 41 minute delay. I'll be watching it tonight. I'll have a reaction tomorrow though, guaranteed.
Saw bits and pieces though as I scrubbed through it. I'm guessing it has to do with the vote fraud charges being brought against Peter.
Don't forget about the Cafe ID Global Tournament this weekend. About 25k on the line. KOFXIII, UMVC3, SFIV

Tons of talent from around South East Asia heading down, including Raise Your Wongers!!!
I believe Justin Wong and Noel Brown are going to be there. Surprised more people aren't going out for Marvel, frankly, considering what most would assume is a relatively weak field.
