EVO 2017 - Where everyone is not playing SFV

[Guitarman]

So take this with a huge bucket of salt, but Wall Street Journal has a piece up for subscribers right now detailing how bad off Capcom is, and potentially looking at a buy out. If it's true? This is huge.

I know Sono saw the posts, curious what others think.

Edit: Confirmed fake.

For now...

I saw that twitter thread and just laughed. People will believe what they want to believe. Even Max got baited then later deleted his tweet.

[Akiyama]

Pretty sure that's been a thing for a few years now, though, that they were 'open' to it.

Combofiend has left Capcom after 5 years.

Wonder if he'll compete again now that he's allowed to enter tournaments. I also expect kappa to do kappa things with this announcement.

[Ragnus]

SF5 and MvC: I broke him.

[Spider-Dan]

As far as candidates for the next Seth/Combofiend, I would imagine Mike Ross or Gootecks would be high on the list.

They ever fix USF4 for ps4?

[Krandor]

Afaik yes

[octopus]

mvci hype found in Canada!

[Xno Kappa]

Holy shit! spooky looks fucking spent.

[Xno Kappa]

EDIT: nvm. loloutofstock

Finally got my hands on a qanba obsidian for PS4. It’s pretty damn nice lol. Time to rejoin the fighting game world in 2017 and catch some ass whoopings online.

EDIT: Jesus Christ! Motherfuckas online in GG have no chill! And what the hell is this azami shit with Baiken!? Where da fook are her guard cancels? I should just keep my ass in the training room with her for now I guess lol.

4chan (lol), but some of it makes sense considering MVCI was completely left out of the EVO trailer and all of the shade Mr. Wizard has been throwing at MVCI/Capcom on social media.

[Akiyama]

lol4chan, but tbh I agree, a lot of that seems totally legit. It's bound to catch up with them. You know your game is bad when SFV looks better in comparison lol

I liked the MVCI gameplay originally, and while Canada Cup was ok, I was still tuning in and out off and on and not paying full attention so rip my attention span to the game.

[Moridam]

considering the dour atmosphere surrounding the release, i'd be shocked if things were actually going well behind the scenes.

[Spider-Dan]

Most of that post is nonsense. (lol4chan)

- Evo is mad at (?!) Capcom for mentioning their tournament in a leaked internal roadmap for MVCI's e-sports plan? That doesn't even make sense.
- Injustice 2 is going to be on Sunday but MVCI isn't? jlawOK.gif
- Mr. Wizard is "considering leaving MVCI out of Evo entirely" as he is also tweeting MVCI contests for people to name their favorite competitive Marvel moment?
- Capcom's MVCI eSports plans are falling "apart" due to Marvel denying all CPT ideas? WTF do you think "Battle for the Stones" is?
- Disney cancelled all the MVCI broadcasting plans they never announced in the first place?

I've seen some weak stuff before, but this takes the cake. Whatever it takes to reassure you that No One Likes Capcom, I suppose.

No one likes Capcom.

This has been the case for like 10 years, only now it's catching up to the one thing they usually didn't fuck up.

[Krandor]

They've still managed to not fuck up Monster Hunter, but the opportunity is there with World (even tho what they've shown so far looks really good)

RE7 received a lot of praise no? Been having serious thoughts lately of getting a VR set.

[Weltall]

I didn't play it via VR, but loved RE7.
