Looks like Ho-chan, Taitsu, Domi, and Abegen are making a guide for newcomers who want to go to Evo. It's really neat how more Japanese every year are embracing the idea of coming to the US for Evo.ほーちゃん | Ho-chan

Goddamn that was so fucking smooth.
This is very concerning, what's wrong with her in T7.
The usual stuff. Just about everything she does can be sidestepped. Her db4 low sweep kick has reverted back to T6 where it's slow but leads to full launcher. Experienced players have the reaction to block that and punish with launcher just about everytime.
Her new move that japanese and korean players are using for oki is that she has the infinite twirling like with Asuka.
Won't be able to make it to the UNIEL lobby tonight, sorry guys. Mother's Day and all that.
Also I felt like Bum was trying to do the same thing FChamp was with the FGTV house. And I think he suceeded in some aspects, like in helping provide a space for newer marvel players to improve side by side to some vets. I also feel like it never, for whatever reason, got to the same level that the FGTV house did though. Wish there was something like that for anime here in Queens.
What are rank limit tournaments?

Players have ranks/win rates in arcades because Nesica. So you can just limit player entry based on that?
I mean it's not that hey "ranked is a perfect indication of skill" but its should at least even out the skill level for all the people entering. That way you have motivation for lower skilled player to enter so that they can feel like they can win the tournament and don't have to deal with top players doing any gate keeping.
Seems like a natural social selection mechanism where you have lower skilled players placed an upper limit to the "skill" of the opponents they face so that they can still play and have fun. Japanese players do that with EXVS netplay by putting cutoff points at like 40% 50% 60% win rate.

there are other issues at play that make japan better than america that really america can't deal with such as concentration of players/netcode/and ease of travel.
Justin won NWM with Rufus.

Yeah but that's the usual complaining about the problems you can't fix while ignoring the ones you can.
Although yeah stuff like Rank Limit tourneys require a sizeable enough player base to make that viable.
There's no objective way to measure player skill which would make Rank Limit tournaments difficult. You could do it online though, especially in SF4 which still has a good amount of online players. Although lobbies not contributing to rank in SF4 online does make it a bit different lol.
I think the point though is that you connect lower-level players to resources that allow for personalized mentoring outside of a forum and distribute information on a game.
Derp, I forgot that today was Mother's Day... don't tell my mom. D:
For anyone else wondering, I'll he hosting a UNIEL lobby at at 5 PM PDT/8 PM EDT, and anyone is welcome to join. Just bug me on PSN (RottenSashimi) for an invite.
Tournaments where players above a certain arcade rank (Dan, PSR, BP, etc) aren't allowed to enter. It makes so the new players get to compete in a tournament where they won't get blown out immediately and can match up against similar skill levels. The thing that makes it awesome is high level players will usually show up anyways (sometimes they're the hosts) and will coach and help people out who entered.
A newbie tournament day will sometimes look like the arcade opens and players show up, they'll have a rank limit tournament scheduled early, and the open tournament scheduled after. The better players will be around anyways before the open tournament and will help sometimes, and the new players can decide if they want to enter the open tournament after anyways.

Love this idea.
Honestly though FGC gaf I'm kinda depressed with my fighting game performance and progress lately. Feel like I hit the wall in all the games I like, and I'm hitting it sooner in new games than I should. The wall being personal interest in the games and my level of play. Got a ton of games and barely play them, a few matches every few weeks when before it was like hours of matches a day. Street Fighter got uninteresting for me, no Tekken scene here, Marvel is an execution and character diversity crapshoot, Blazblue/Guilty/P4A are interesting until I play against a human player and realize I have 0 clue what they are doing.
Maybe I just need a break or something but looking at my shelf of games and just feel like getting rid of all of them, and I'm one of those "never sells their stuff" people.
Pick a game and focus on it.

Elena does well, but then you have to learn how to play Elena.

Jwong spends too much time in ranked and not enough in training mode.
He shouldn't be using Rufus against Poison or Sakura.
There are a few Sakura's who are better with the character, but all of those guys are inferior players to ChrisG in general and get shittier tournament results because of it. Those reads.

humanbomb got top 8 at evo with sak. tell me what chris has done
If your shelf doesn't have Gundam EXVS FB, then your shelf is lacking a mandatory Fighting Game! You could also look at older games on Fightcade. Sometimes the blast comes from the past.

Justin getting knocked out is better for US players.
Justin needed to learn today.
does she control the air space well or something?
"Flashmetroid got top-8 at Evo with Zangief, tell me what has Itabashi done?"
Chris has actually won major-ish tournaments. He got into Capcom Cup a couple years back by winning a qualifier. Countless top-8's, including today. He's the smartest and most talented player playing this character by a margin. Probably top-2 in the country in that respect.
It's why he wins so much in a bunch of different games.

If they're not interesting, then why play at all?
