dacidbro is the most overlooked commentator in the fgc.

He was always great when Norcal Install was running (rip NCI), guess he mostly quit to focus on being a speedrunning superstar?

I been outta the loop. What prompted the title this week?

 

[Village]

I thought we had two different types, anime and ANIMAYYYY. I was referring to the latter.

Its all the same man. Different art styles and artistic conventions aside, its all art from japan.

Its just what you consider quality, hell I don't even think anime is a good label. Because anime is just Japanese animation, and the style of Japanese animation isn't exclusive to japan and hasn't been for decades. there are whole seasons of American cartoons animated by studios that usually do eastern stuff. I'm not talking about like korra either, i'm talking about shit like tiny toons. Rewatch tiny toons, its you may have not noticed it then, you can not miss the episodes ( and the movie I think ) done by an eastern studio. Before I get into this rant, it not even anime, its just japanese art man.

My God... it's full of one-bars...

 

[Kalamari]

Anime has such a loose definition in fighting games and the FGC that it has encompassed everything and everyone.

 

[Shouta]

UMVC3 is as ANIMAAAAAAY as you can get 'cept it's "superheroes."

 

[Professor Beef]

If you have more than a health and super bar in your UI, you're probably anime.

Same if your super meter goes past 1.

I for one agree with Max that Xrd is far superior to Blazblue and UNiEL, which are are virtually the same game. .

XRD really needs to kick afks from lobby, or at least do it quicker if they already do.

something like 1/2 of every lobby are peeps sitting in it with the chair icon that means they're away.

I don't know what's worse; Dark Gundam having full screen unblockables, or Psyco being three times taller than the average unit and can wreck shit with it's bootleg DP.

L of the year is definitely Daigo. Destroyed at EVO and once again at Capcom Cup. The whole universe was counting on you and you let Rice Eater down.

I can only imagine how you feel when people call anime chinese cartoons to troll.

It doesn't involve hot-blooded idol action so its not ANIMAAAAAAY, unless if you count sister sister as some odd deformation of it.

Makes me wonder if the Japanese players will forego their honor and counterpick now that a massive wad of Americano money is dangling over them.

it ain't anime until a little girl or boy is fighti-

Ryan:Bonchan, Sagat sucks, change character.
Bchan:No, he is good!
Daigo: Next year is 500k!
Bchan: I'm changing character
ALL: Looooooool

Yea Sagat is pretty weak now.

Who's Bonchan been playing?

No idea but people should flock to the man of bread, Raiiiiiiuuuuuuu.

cammy still good

all she needs is japanese fingers to kill the game

 

[xezuru]

Wish I had spent more time while I had it this holiday on Xrd.
I'm starting from zero on the series competitive wise but I'm really loving the things this game gives you to learn and the general playstyles and freedom within its ruleset.
Still no idea who to main, but I've just been going on and off things like story mode and random trials after the tutorial to get random amount of points to unlock sin.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

When is Mewtwo coming to Smash 4?

Same thing with Juri. I find this game suffers from people just wanting easy characters and not on what could help them best.

I can't even deny that every time FGCNN posts a new article it's the best part of my day.

Also I have to constantly remind myself that Gootecks is not in fact dating Max's sis

Spoiler

he isn't right.......?

Only Luffy and Momochi won more money than him in tournaments. He won $21k at the topanga tournaments.

 

[Karsticles]

Spring, no specific date given.

lol, gossip aside, max is a great guy and posts here when he can. I don't know if he'll feel comfortable with us talking about his sister's personal life on an fg thread.

 

[Rhapsody]

After all this Xrd playing, I might just use Potemkin and Ky in tourneys when I go to an Xrd one.

Still working on Zato, but not satisfied where I'm currently at with him.

One of my better characters, but I haven't labbed with him as much as I should have in this version.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I thought AnnelFrank's commentary for Persona in NEC recently was good. Mike Z is good. I really liked Xie and Dacidbro's BlazBlue commentary in Evo (I hope they get to do it for Xrd next year). Jyosua with the right co-commentator is also okay.
That's maybe about the same number of people I like for the Capcom stuff.

Link?

 

[Rhapsody]

I think I might get back into UNIEL again while playing Xrd. I used to be good (ok/decent) at this game.

Then I started using Nanase instead of Eltnum, and then I stopped going to tourneys. lol

As a general rule, I've found the less "FGC" a commentator is, the more I enjoy them.

You're being too hard on him Kadey. I think he had a good year, won 2 Topanga's and qualified for Capcom Cup. He'll rebound next year. Dat 500k will finally make Daigo use his final form.

Man I really hate Nico. I've gotten kicked 3 times already. Had to refresh to get back in. This isn't a PPV, why can't people just watch it without interruption?

He actually had one of the best years for a player, but Topanga League is pay per view, so it's not as observable to most of the US audience like Evo and CC is. In that sense he's out of the spotlight compared to Snake Eyez, Pepedai, etc...

His 2/3 tournament performances were awful this year though. Long set tournaments were completely free to him this year.


I've only been kicked out twice in an hour. Nico is random like that.

 

[Rice-Eater]

That's very true, he doesn't get much credit for Topanga because almost nobody in the US or the rest of the world can watch it. They know the results, but they don't get to see him play which does take away from it. As for his 2/3 performances, I wouldn't say it was awful, it's just that the expectations for him are so high and honestly it's unfair to always expect him to win or be in GF. I think he competed in 6 of them and won 3 which is pretty good. Of the 3 he lost, one was EVO which nobody can really be blamed for not winning. If he competed more, his resume would have definitely looked better but he didn't. But I'm guessing that will finally change this year with the increased prize pot for Capcom Cup.

And just out of curiosity, do you speak Japanese KidA Seven? It seems like you're always on top of a lot of Japanese related stuff nowadays? Kind of like how USD use to be.

I've been learning for a while, but no where near fluent. It's a tough language.

 

[Rice-Eater]

And the winning streak got Viper'd. Who needs footsies when you can just seizmo and burn kick everything.

 

[KidA Seven]

Lost to Tonpy Viper


A couple of top players showed up to the event. They are the best hope for the stream monsters to win a prize.
