EVO 2020 - Still hatin', still watchin'

[Weltall]

Bullshit, those Kazenoko vs SonicFox matches were peak

Edit: wasn’t Kaz, whoever that JP player was

Edit: Goichi

[Xno Kappa]

You can’t even remember the players involved. Get the fuck outta here!

[Weltall]

Lmao fair

At least none of them broke their ankle in half today

[Mrbeansman]

Complaining about too many Goku's was always funny to me. This isn't that shitty arena fighter where we add such classic characters as that one alien on Frieza's ship who watched Vegeta in the healing tank. I'm not making that up btw that was a real thing that happened.

FighterZ has never been fun to watch unless you have some kind of weird fetish with countless different Goku characters.

Hard disagree. The Sonicfox/Goichi matches were great for the hype alone, and I've always been fond of watching Hookganggod's Piccolo work people over.

A top-tier Captain Ginyu is one of the greatest characters in fighting game history to watch put in work. I couldn't disagree with you more.

The combos at high end play got very samey and boring to watch. The mixups would be nasty but there was zero expression or variety once they got the hit.

The current version of the game is just complete kusoge nonsense.

The hypest thing to ever happen for DBFZ was the Cell intro.

Everything after that was just stupid half hour long block strings. I’d rather watch MvCI than subject myself to that boring bullshit.

Damn, I must have been in a coma through those years of Zero dial-a-combo one touch loops and Vergil rapid slash unblockable setups or X-factor one-touches. I keep hearing the word "Soul!" in my head, again and again and again. Such a vivid dream, I'd swear I saw them for half a decade straight without fail.

Rare is the fighting game with high-end, sweaty "I have to play lame as shit to lock up the prize pool" gameplay that is diverse. We don't live in a world with a billion Hayao's playing Hugo in 3rd Strike; we live in a world where the sweats play Chun/Ken, or perhaps Yun/Urien when its time to make that bag. I'm not going to sit here and call Fighterz any more boring than UMVC3's Zero/Vergil/Morgan spam--which defined that fucking game, no matter how much I loved parts of it. For as much as I loved watching a good Moduk or Firebrand, they didn't win money.. They entertained, lost in semis, collected their 3 dollar consolation prizes and made way for the "meta" to win it all.

Yes, the Bardok/Kid Goku era of Fighterz was fucking boring as sin. It's also not some isolated case in fighting games.

Going back to the actual point, I'm unsurprised that both 2XKO and Nen Impact have their entire competitive meta constrained to 2 characters each. That's exactly what their predecessor was about, when it comes down to it. Same creators, same vision, same result.

We'll see how Tokkon shakes up.

[Krandor]

Vergil doesn't have rapid slash unblockables, but hey you tried to sound like you know what you're talking about so gj

[Mrbeansman]

I actually read all of that but go watch some TNS on Friday. Zero May Cry and Morri doom aren't nearly as dominating as you're making it out to be.

Amusingly the most recent top 8 had 4 Zero teams and 2 Morridooms, and it was won by TJ rocking the Hulk/Sent/Haggar who never dropped a set

(DemonHunter barely counts as a Zero team since he rocks an absolutely godlike Jill as his anchor)

[Mrbeansman]

The argument works better for Marvel 2 where every team in top 8s is running at least one of Magento Sentinel Storm.

Hulk and Iron Man added to Invincible

[Krandor]

I'm still only in emerald but man, 2xko players are really not familiar with having to play around Bionic Arm (Vi has one)

[Krandor]

That MK collection is out and getting glowing reviews from "professional" reviewers but is apparently complete dog shit in reality. Input lag, bad matchmaking and no lobbies, and a bunch of bugs apparently not present in the original games

[Xno Kappa]

Holy shit these crazy Saudi’s did the boob face off!!!! LMAO

Up to Diamond now on 2xko

Every single person I play has way way better combos then me since I've spent basically zero time in the lab, but this game massively rewards solid fundamentals.

I do get tagged all the time trying to chicken block though, it's so baked into my brain for tag fighters and just doesn't work here.

[Krandor]

Firing up SNK World Championship and the final 4 for Fatal Fury is 4x Hotaru.

lol

Edit : NVM I guess Go1 is back to using Marco

[Krandor]

Ekko/Teemo/Yasuo nerf/Blitzcrank buff patch announced for Nov 18, two more weeks of "My Time" I guess
