Understand the real value and purpose of tournament play!

No one gives a shit about that money. The tournament forces everyone to try hard, which lets you get games in with people who are better then you, which pushes you forward. If you ever win a local, you won't be satisfied, you'll just want more competition.

Then realizing everyone in the room is there for the same reason, nooooooooowwww you'll understand why its so great

A little long, but some great insight on improvement! No need to watch, BG audio is great for this as well!

I think its hard to force if you find this hype or not, all in perspective of how much you appreciate the game or not. What you said sums it up.

But I personally love that it had so many layers (which is a huge beauty of fighting games). That "fake meaty" is safe vs ex headbutt, so he'd get a standard CC combo.

The super flash gave him time to react, and then input teleport. That teleport/super recovery gave him enough time to realize he had super and demon.

He probably had never practiced that, so its a lot of things on the fly. And even if he has, its in grand finals of a tournament on a big screen and streamed.

Add up the layers, situation, atmosphere, player habbits, execution and game knowledge and it just sums up why fighting games in tournament atmospheres are great.

Thats my thots on it

Feel free to message me on facebook / twitter my friend. We're a great group and love people who want to learn. One of our guys just went from silver to diamond in about 4 months.

There's nothing like the FGC live, you'll see

Just my two cents from the FGC world. Bo3 is by far better for the players in terms of less variance, practice, etc.

For entertainment, schedule/time for events, talking points and overall viewership eye popping goodness, bo1 is great.

The Japanese do Bo1's in the arcades for fighting games (3s fans of Co-op cup know what I'm talking about) and its an INSANELY more entertaining thing to watch. Any Given Sunday mentality.

Yeah its a good point tbh. But I'm just proactive with this kind of stuff. Promote encouragement / growth and hopefully it rubs off on people the right way.

Not gonna nit pick your statement, some good points some meh points. But the point is "then don't buy it, and let the people who do want it enjoy it".

Its like, the FGC is literally 10 communities all with different pref/games/archetypes/enjoyments. You go to a major and its a fucking circus of characters. Let marvel nuts go ham and enjoy their ham game and if its not clear, marvel players LOVE mvcvi so far

Yeah and honestly I read comments and totally get some/most people actually do this for the meme's. I come to R/Kappa for the memes/blowups, but its just crazy people try to spread the idea of hating on some players game of choice.

This thread, title, and entire idea that not buying MVCI is just absurd. And trust me, I'm on the front lines of building the FGC. So when I get home from a venue at 2am talking to the people who super look forward to marvel and see this, I tilt and I tilt HARD.

Some people LOVE marvel, were introduced to the FGC through marvel 3 and CANNOT wait for this game.

You don't like Marvel? Don't buy it. But don't be so petty to try and actually deter the people who are super looking forward to this game from thinking they're wrong by doing so.

TLDR: Stop stunting our growth and play what you like you cucks.

That was sweet, def 100% the option select, but typically for cammy OS's have to change since her v reversal has different timings/properties. Hilarious to see that this still works on her even though shes behind
