What CPT? Shit is cancelled or needs to be.

Evo is still happening as planned for the time being, early bird prices will remain in effect as well. I imagine attendance will still take a hit regardless.

Combo Breaker still hasn't been canceled even though I cant imagine it still happening.

[Lokus]

At this point, any event that hasn't cancelled is either hoping this dies down so they can run as planned or hoping some kind of state/federal declaration covers their weekend so they can get out of their contract with the venue without going bankrupt. Wrestlecon almost got fucked by Marriott when they had to cancel their event (they wanted to charge them $100,000 for cancelling) despite the Governor issuing an emergency declaration. CB is at the ass end of May so cancelling right now would fuck them hard. Would hope those guys have a Force Majeure clause and if they don't now, every TO going forward should.

[Weltall]

No one, especially a foreigner, is going to be traveling to Chicago as soon as end of May. It’s irresponsible as fuck for them to keep this shit scheduled, despite the bankruptcy. This is a risk you take when being in this business as independents.

People like Jebailey with CEO Dreamland very literally kept a large gathering running, risking the people at the event gaining and spreading the virus locally and furthermore once they traveled home, for the financial well-being of himself. I will never read “for the community” again without laughter.

I’d probably wait until the beginning of May to see if the government would back me, but this shit should absolutely be cancelled. EVO is far enough out to stay on, but May is way too close.

Watch it be SFxT tier rollback that's even worse than what they had.

Tekken 7 might have been broken today.

For some reason the patch today decided to give all EWGF 3 less frames of recovery on whiff which makes punishes that have existed since the beginning of time no longer work.

And the reply from the director?



Also Kazuya's hellsweep tracks now because.... reasons?

[Weltall]

That guy has been catching a ton of heat lately. At least we can all go to bed knowing we don't look like him.

[Moridam]

lol!

i didn't know he was actually a director now, that's the dude my friend used to work with years ago. thought himself a big deal because he worked on a demo version for some tekken project in the PS3 era.

[Krandor]

Looks like Sam Sho is gonna be EGS exclusive on PC, due in "Spring"

Feel like the average consumer and even most fighting game player is beyond the capacity to care anymore with such a wide gap to the PC release.

[Krandor]

Fahkumram definitely feels like Leroy 2.0.

His inputs are very slightly more complicated then Leroy, but he's got better mixups and his damage is on par with Leroy at release (70+ damage off 15 frame launcher). He also has an 18 frame launcher that for some reason is +6 on block, because that makes sense (at least it's a high?).

Don't think he has any real starters off his lows though, so I guess at least that kinda balances him?

April Annihilation getting cancelled and Big E starting the refund process or letting people use that money towards SummerJam. Evo gonna be the first tournament of the year at this rate lol.

Japan is also having a 3v3 GBVS tournament this Sunday with each team representing their main game. A lot of these teams are fucking stacked based on their main game but I don't even know if they are any good at GBVS. Jiyuna will be streaming the english version.

This year the CPT was supposed to broken up into 2 seasons/halves. The entire first half has been canceled so CPT will start once again in July.

[Weltall]

That means CEO and Combo Breaker are a wrap.

[Krandor]

GBVS tourney is up, stream quality is absolute garbage tho

KojiKOG's Ladiva is fucking terrifying

[Krandor]

Melty Blood numbah 1
