Always one of the best esports events. On July 16 2013 02:40 hlxino wrote: why doesn't team liquid cover fighting games? Well, Shoryuken already does a pretty good job of it. | ||

Shoryuken have the forums archives with all the infos in the world. It's very slow moving now but there's so much tech and stuff there, it's awesome. | ||

Some of the info is there on the SRK Wiki like frame data, which is still useful, but it isn't going to contain stuff like matchup-specific unblockables or what's a good counterpoke for this particular character's main poke. The presentation also varies wildly for community contributions, from gratuitous use of jargon to insufficient grasp of English to sloppy editing and lack of error-checking. This is the more nitty-gritty stuff that the Dota and SC Liquipedias do quite well, like going over specific strategies or hero builds/build orders. The search is part of the fun ! ( somewhat ) I probably enjoy digging in these badly organized forums for tech as much as playing the game. | ||

All about other tournaments like Topanga League and shit over there now. edit: Daaaaaaaaamn Nemo making dat money. SBO has been going down the drain all these years  Wasnt the last one held outdoor and plagued with bugs (literally)? also players slacking and drinking on the grass lol. Hope they come back next year with a free stream (instead of paid-only niconico), instant vods and a decent stage | ||

(MK9 is also on sale at 800 MSP, but you're probably better off getting a physical copy of the Komplete Edition for ~$15 instead.) | ||

Also it has no prize money, only glory, that takes off the edge of single elim. Plus to tournament doesn't provide things like translators or anything really and lacks an official english broadcast(considering a large part of non chinese Internet is English and it accommodates alot of places outside of japan that's bad) and charged for the stream alot of money just to view both days. It's just extra bad because EVO accommodates japanese viewers over on niconico | ||

It's more like advertisement for the Japanese arcade scene which is fine in my opinion. Also, the lack of English viewers makes the chat so much more clean. | ||
