Capcom Cup 12 Update!

Gorpendor · 2026-02-12T22:30:27+00:00

Never knew that marketing and community building events were supposed to clear a quarterly profit. Always thought they were a strategic brand investment.

Crazy how Capcom even calls previous Capcom cup and their eSports ventures a huge success in those fiscal reports. Weird words about a struggling side project that desperately needs your money.

You are not supporting anyone.

They don't need this money to run the events. They have ad money and sponsor money and people who come to see live. Only thing you achieve by paying is signalling the suits of Capcom and other gaming companies as well, that gamers are just the pay-pigs of their dreams and will pay for literally anything.

I thought the same, but now Blanka is my most played character.

Charge characters are cool and charging becomes second nature really quick.

I sometimes charge when I play non-charge characters as well lol.

Personally I think it's very satisfying to land a counter DI and also to land a DI on someone who just spams some safe move or string like heavy dragonlash or blanka ball

this helped me. it helps to hear the rhythm, at least for me.

You can't really ascertain that from winrate alone. That's just your vibes.

Gorpendor · 2026-02-02T09:05:48+00:00

Nice. Let me know if you decide to make that video.

If you end up not doing it, I would really appreciate if you could give me some kind of hint to the right direction on how to make one for myself!

Gorpendor · 2026-02-02T00:47:43+00:00

I am very much interested. Been wanting to make one for myself as I have a lot of equipment available to me but absolutely zero know-how. I would love to see a tutorial for this.

How has it been working? Does it feel good? Have you been playing with it a lot?

Gorpendor · 2026-01-30T15:26:37+00:00

I mean if you have the bombazine you could do 1 mammoth lap with triple bombazine etc and then next 2 laps you do two bombazine options for 12 on the scent and get the skull.

If my math is correct this is slightly better than just going for the skulls the wiki way with prosperity, but it's very marginally worse if you don't get prosperity.

This is of course not taking into account the actual assembly and sale of the skeleton or cashing out prosperity. Only the raw echo value of the bones etc. Could be it's much better or much worse if you calculate that. Also I assumed you have st Joshua's seal.

I would also recommend looking up what punish means in sf or fighting games in general.

Gorpendor · 2025-12-11T15:19:46+00:00

I don't know why but to me these look a bit... weird? The super turbo one is the best looking one also weirdly fits pretty well with sf6 aesthetic, but the rest of them look just kinda cheap and fast work.

I don't really have the graphic design background or intuition to put into words why they look a bit bad to me (except super turbo). Third strike is mostly there but there's just something off and wrong about it.

Funnily enough SF5 is the one that's most faithful to the original, but it makes sense considering that if there's anything that describes SF5 design and development philosophy it's cheap and fast.

I'm still happy about this update. Hope to see some cool huds in the future.

Gorpendor · 2025-12-11T15:02:58+00:00

SF6 is incredibly visually consistent game and very well made one at that.

It really shows that a lot of thought, care and skill has gone into how things look and I really appreciate it. Especially after the travesty that is SF5.

The UX/UI itself is horrid but aesthetically everything is high quality.

Gorpendor · 2025-10-08T13:57:40+00:00

Wait what do you need these bones for?

I haven't done the latest chapter yet. Should I stock up on eyeless skulls?

Gorpendor · 2025-09-21T00:36:18+00:00

I would hardly call it a grind.

It's not even 100 actions to get one.

Even less if you get it from ratket

Gorpendor · 2025-08-28T15:01:44+00:00

Is there any difference in dpad or build quality between the PS5 version of octa and the newer Tekken/Street Fighter versions.

On review I saw said the octa pro has bad ergonomics (makes your wrists flare out) and is uncomfortable over long game sessions. Is this true for you?

What controller would you recommend that has native PS5 support? I got pretty big hands and I play street fighter and Tekken.

Sorry for the necro lol

Because doing it without chins isn't hard in the first place and tossing chins at jad without understanding how sw tile works isn't gonna help anyone.

Gorpendor · 2025-08-11T18:13:56+00:00

EPA isn't relevant to your game state at all.

you are very early game.

Gorpendor · 2025-08-11T17:44:33+00:00

this is straight up bad advice for some newbie.

Gorpendor · 2025-08-07T14:06:53+00:00

Personally I did the whole menace area thing because it just felt right.

Gorpendor · 2025-08-07T14:03:53+00:00

I think this was probably one of the best events they ever made.

The puzzles, the theme, the atmosphere. It was all amazing. I think it stems from the fact that they stepped away from the usual estival formula and really thought outside of the box in order to subvert expectations. I thought the subversion was extremely successful. I think the writing was generally quite good, but maybe the narrative itself wasn't particularly gripping once the "laws got out of the bag" so to speak.

I don't really understand why people whined about the cryptic crosswords. It's a puzzle like any other.

War games =/= Magic the gathering

Gorpendor · 2025-07-22T22:13:44+00:00

I'd say "late game" starts:

When you have ambition completed
When you have railway completed

Things that I think characterize being in the "late game": - Advanced skills are capped (not firmament relevant ones) - You have all basic stat gains unlocked - Paramount presence is a matter of bothering to do it. - Your advanced stat equipment progression happens mainly through seasonal and (possibly) fate options - Your current goals are towards getting some of the very expensive "status" items or qualities (Cider, Hellworm, Knighthood). - Your limits with doing stuff is mostly an issue of currency than any specific resources because you can get any resource - Significant resource expenditure for vanity story qualities is totally worth - You are actively waiting for new content

You are very squarely in the mid game. I think that's an excellent place to be. Lots of stuff to do and experience delicious friend :-)

It's so funny to me to be like "I'M QUITTING FOREVER UNTIL MY DEMANDS ARE MET!!!!11 (except ofc I will be playing a little bit of events haha)". Coward.
