It finally got done eh? It looks quite awesome, might take a look at it sometime. Is this thing well balanced?
I do remember reading the guy's blog a year or two ago. He acts kind of like a douchebag would, if said douchebag was good at balancing fighting games :p

I guess this is the whole BitByBit argument of whether playing to win can make you a douchebag. Honestly, I don't see how it can, since he's not known for (as far as I know) BM. If he's spamming low strong or whatever that's his prerogative.

It seems quite balanced.
This game's all about mind games.
Someone want to play?

Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Sirlin has gotten a pretty bad rap since "playing to win" is held up like a sacred mantra by every mediocre player who wants an excuse to BM. Playing to win, by Sirlin's own definition, is doing everything possible within the confines of the game. It is not an excuse to, say, kick your opponent in the shins, or hope that he/she falls gravely ill with leukemia mid-match. Those both fall squarely outside the realm of what any good player looks for in a game.

Can it train you to slow down time? 
+ Show Spoiler [relevant vid] +http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmpoAp21I9I + Show Spoiler +For those who have no idea what's going on, it's a satirical compilation of David Sirlin (maker of the Yomi card game) quotes, disguised as a KOF2000 Hinako combo video.
Sirlin aside, I don't know too much about the card game. I'm sure if it's about mind games and reading the opponent, I'd lose pretty badly though.
|
It's Sirlin so I'm sure the game should be fairly balanced. Only thing I have against him is how stupid he is haha. I'll try the game out and hit you up some other time. It should be good.

I've played it. It's fun and quite balanced. Characters (decks) feel unique and theres lots of mindgames going on.
I played a Setsuki deck and was told she was weak when I was raping everyone left and right.
|
I don't know about balance, but the game is fun, feels kinda rock paper scissory though, but that's probably because of lack of experience.
|
This game is really great! It's a ton of fun and very strategical.
It is, at its core, RPS, but it's a lot more complicated and involved. It's expensive, yes, but you can play for free online so that takes some of the sting out.
The game itself is really solid.
Edit: removed something pointless.

Man, the most confusing thing about the online IU is that the side the opponent is playing is the side pointing towards you, NOT the side pointing up.
Confused me for so long...
|
Awesome game, been playing it online a lot lately. Lots of mind games and reading of the opponent. All the characters feel very different and each have there strengths and weaknesses. From what I can see , the game is pretty damn balanced with maybe a couple of bad matchups. I high recommend you guys give this game a try. Thanks Trozz for showing me an awesome game.

While playing Yomi,
I've run into TL folks.
Sadly, they were 'guests'.
Whenever I host,
I name the room Team Liquid!

Anyone play elementsthegame.com?
|
I'm totally lost at this game... I need to check the rules again, to understand what is going on 
Looks fun though.
|
Steep learning curve, but a very worthwhile game.
I'm Circean if you happen to see me.

By the way, I didn't notice the haikus until your last post, Trozz...
