I think its funny ppl saying its boring to watch or its easy or whatever. Every time i am watching sc2 ppl come in and dont know whats going on. They say its boreing, nothing is happening and the first 5min of the game is the same every single time. We all know this isnt true, but they dont know that. No reason to hate on this game when you actually dont know what is happening with the players.

Combo's in this game arent easy either. =o
It rained today inside my head...

What the fuck is wrong with the SC2 community? Almost every time there is another game on a stream people act like it's the end of the world. So much for fans of esports.


I know they are total sticks.

It's like saying just because you're a fan of football you should be a fan of other ball-sports. One eSport is enough to follow

The difference between sports and E-sports is Sports is disgustingly main stream. If you shit on all e-sports, and love just one, you're killing E-sports. For E-sports to succeed, you need to support more than just Starcraft. Or else It's just Starcraft 2, not E-sports.


That's a pretty good post.

Also, love SSFIV, wish I wouldn't suck at it

I really like watching this lol. Can someone tell me if these two characters are the standard? I assume they are. It must be so badass if someone chooses some random character who nobody plays!

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Just so you guys know, Fighting Game community is just as big during the biggest tournaments as SC2. EVO kept stable 50k+ at all times. They also don't talk shit about the SC2, so show some class.


Seriously, the fighting game scene is highly respectable and whenever I see a Halo dude or Street Fighter dude talking about how cool it is to see SC2 grow so quick I always feel embarrassed at the amount of pure bullshit the SC2 scene directs at them.



I think all the frustration comes from being surprised by this game randomly showing up. I turned in today hoping to watch the semis and then the finals. After a single semi match, now there is SSF4. I did not plan to watch SSF4. It always seems like they trap us into watching games that we have no interest in watching. I have nothing against the game, but I do not want to watch it. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that..

There's a schedule right?

Imagine Day9 or Tastosis casting SSF4

Different games, different styles of casting.

Haha, yeah, I've never played this and have no idea what is going on. The casters aren't helping.


Oh come on, are you serious? The game is being played at x1000 the speed of SC2, of course that is the only style of commentary that even works. The players are constantly reacting to each other so play-by-play is pretty much all you can expect.

Well I don't understand the vortex at all, but at least they explained the double elimination format.

Vortex is just once Akuma gets a knockdown he starts the vortex, which is basically that whenever Yun is knocked down he has to guess which side to block. A lot of Akumas offense comes from his vortex.


Wait so you have to guess? So this isn't a game of skill, just luck?

Putting your opponents in positions where they have to guess which options they need to use to defend is how 100% of all fighting games are played. If defending in fighting games are 100% safe you'd never hit your opponent. The skill comes from execution and mind games. You might hit low 3 times in a row and on the 4th you hit high. Most characters that make you guess more have reduced health. So they may have to mix you up or catch you in a vortex 2 or 3 times when you only need to do 1 combo to do the same amount of damage with a character with less mix up options. Execution of mixups or combos have super strict timings. Some you need to execute with a 1/60 or 1/30 of a second window for button press. If you are off by 1/60 of a second you drop the combo.

There's quite a lot involved in fighting games. It's pretty entertaining and there's as much to know about as SC2.

I can't imagine ever wanting to follow competitive play of this as a spectator, but I think I'll pick up the game, looks quite fun to play.

You can't really compare like that. There's not much time for talk here, it just goes too fast.
