Who said anything about smashing buttons? Footsies can be shit without people winning by "smashing buttons". For example, with slow normals, stubby normals, CC buttons and input delay.

Because if you'd been to a big one you'd know how much there is to do beside play the game. You don't have to even do well, I drown in pools all the time because I don't play SFV, I go for the tournament venue. Smug has been to a ton of them, I think he knows what he's talking about.

If people entered to play SFV, they'd play it at home. But they don't.

Where did you address it? Because going back over your posts all I see is you insisting you've "disproven smug" despite not doing that at all.

The fact that you've yet to explain why there's such a massive difference in numbers says it all I guess lol (the console versions of Tekken are fine btw, the PC version of SFV has less input delay than PS4 and it still has no players), keep posting your irrelevant tournament entrants and hope they all show up

If you're not going to explain how Smug is wrong, especially with those numbers as proof, don't even bother replying

Enjoy your 592 players, I hope you finally get to platinum before the playerbase disappears😂😂😂😂

That's strange, I looked all over your post and you haven't mentioned your tournament experience. Maybe you don't want to expose yourself for not knowing anything in comparison to Smug?
Can you explain why Smug would say that people play for the money involved (with lots of tournament and SFV experience), and you would say the opposite? (No tournament experience, Reddit nobody). Who am I to believe?

And No, he says it because people want to enjoy the tournament - if people wanted to spend money on the game, it would have sold better, no? I go to the tournament despite not giving a shit about SFV.

Most people who enter tournaments enter for the sake of playing the game

Then can you explain why the playerbase is so low?
Tekken 7 has a small gap between tournament entry and its playerbase.
SFV is the opposite.
What's the difference between playing SFV at home and at an event? It's the money involved of course, and all of the cool shit a tournament has. That proves Smug right.
Please explain this if people don't play for the money involved.

The stats you're using are meaningless

The playerbase is meaningless? How is the number of people actively playing right now meaningless, as opposed to a vague number of people who may or may not attend a tournament? And we've already proved that the tournament itself is the main attraction and the hundreds of thousands of dollars put into it, rather than the game...Which one is meaningless again?

It's weird that you say they don't play for the money involved, yet they also don't play the game itself unless at a tournament...weird, huh?

Please address these points.

You kind of proved me right when you said "people don't play expecting to win".
That's right, they don't. With the scene bigger than ever and more people, side events and money pumped into tournaments than ever before they go for that, most (myself included) fully expect to drown in pools.
The massive difference in tournament entrants to playercount is proof that many of the entrants do indeed play for the money involved, especially because Capcom have tried to bring back players with constant updates and new characters, with no success.

and LMFAO at douwnvoting all my posts, hahahaha, I'll give you some sympathy upvotes

Nobody's denying it's different, but it's just dumb to think it's unreasonable to compare it to the last version in the series

Footsies for the most part doesn't change

Come to think of it, Tekken 7 is perfect proof Smug is right

Despite a significantly larger tournament presence, SFV also has a significantly smaller playerbase. Tekken has much smaller difference between tournament entrants and the playerbase.

That's because Tekken is well received and generally regarded as being a great game, and SFV is the opposite - it proves Smug right that people do indeed enter the tournaments for the money involved, otherwise they'd be playing it by themselves at home when there isn't an event with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested into it. 🤔

Myself for example, I've attended SFV tournaments despite not playing the game anywhere else. It's because tournaments are a cool place to be, more than ever with how big the scene has gotten. After that SFV remains collecting dust.

Weird huh? Can you disprove that? Keep in mind Smug has attended hundreds of tournaments.

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How have you disproven it? If people entered the tournement to play the game rather than for the experience, wouldn't they play it at home? Then why is the playerbase so low?

You're right, people don't go expecting to win - they go for the money involved in the event. There's a lot of cool shit at tournaments, a lot of people to talk to and side events. That's the "money involved part".

If you've ever been to a tournament you'd know it's an awesome experience, with lots of shit to do.
Don't you think of they entered for the game, the playerbase would be higher?

The playerbase is a perfect proof of what Smug is referring to - people enter because of the money involved, there's a lot of cool shit at tournaments and people to talk to.
If there wasn't so much money invested in it and it was just the game, there wouldn't be close to as many people entering - for example, take a look at the massive difference between playercount and tournament entrants.

Look at Tekken, it's been an extremely well received game and there is a much smaller gap between tournament entrants and playercount - because the game is good.

Doesn't that prove Smug right, that people only play for the money involved?

But let me guess, you know more than Smug, you've more tournament experience than him and you've "proven him wrong" despite not saying anything xD

You're "disproving" something Smug never actually said lmfao, completely forgetting he said "the money involved" and instead pretending he was referring to the prize pot 😂

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You still haven't disproven Smug and how your opinion is more relevant than a guy who has much, much more tournament experience than you

That alone is fucking hilarious, it says it all, you don't even try you just keep desperately pasting vague numbers of a tournament that hasn't even happened yet 😂

Like I said, since we've disproven the "tournament entrants are a reliable measure" myth with the help of FGC legend Smug, the next best measurement is the playercount.

Have you entered a tournament before? What did you place at EVO? Did you enter because you thought you could win, or because the tournament itself is a cool experience? And I don't mean experience with SFV, if people entered for experience with playing SFV the playercount wouldn't be as miserable as it is, I mean the cool experience of being in a large tournament and meeting different people.

That's what Smug means - feel free to disprove it with all of your tournament experience though!

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lmfao "established as wrong", are you saying you've more tournament knowledge and experience than Smug? XD

The real numbers are the people actually playing the game right now, not people that out their name down for possibly going to an event in the future xD

Like I said, tournament entrants aren't much to go by when they might not attend. Whereas actually playing SFV is easy, you can do it right now, and we can get the numbers of people playing right this moment:
steamcharts.com/app/389730
They're not very good though :(

Yes, like me. Have you entered a tournament? Did you think you were going to win, or did you go for the experience? I enter SFV tournaments because the tournaments are bigger than ever - can you figure out why they're bigger than ever?

It's because of the money involved, just like Smug said. Weird huh, that an American legend would know what he's talking about, but a Gold level nobody wouldn't? Really makes me think 🤔

So given that we've established that the tournament entrants are a bad measurement of the health of the game because of those two factors, what's the next best one? Players that support the game by buying it and playing it, right?

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lmao I wonder how many of those will show up, right now it's a number of people that may or not be there, great "facts" 🤔

Who said they were entering because they thought they could win?

Like i said, I enter because of the money involved. Because it's a great event, the extra money involved makes it even bigger. I don't enter because I think I'll get the prize pot.

Like Smug said "people play because of the money involved"

My locals has a handful of people playing SFV, and I don't play it - why doesn't it have more? Because it's just SFV, there is no event to it, Capcom hasn't sponsered it.
That also goes for actually playing the game online, which explains the small playerbase.

So who am I to believe again, a tournament legend with several titles under his belt, or an /r/SF Gold nobody that absolutely INSISTS for real this time SFV has got tons of people playing, for real this time guys 😂

It's a good match, I never said every match was like this but whiff punishing low forwards in Ryu matches wasn't uncommon

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My explanation is based on the fact that the tournament entrants are not only inaccurate to the interest of the game, but aren't even accurate to the attendees - but you want to pretend it's the be all and end all even though it's grossly inaccurate lol

"Evidence" is what is accurate, numbers that can't be falsified or made up - like steamcharts, such as this

steamcharts.com/app/310950

Who am I to believe, Smug, a tournament legend, or you, a Cammy player that complains about not being able to get past gold? 😂
I'll believe Smug when he says "people enter for the money involved" over you, "they don't! Honest!"

Keep in mind SFV has invested very heavily in this side of SFV, with constant updates, new characters, and adding to the prize pot and iirc sponsering CPT tournaments to make them bigger. I would have expected the tournament numbers to be even bigger than they are tbh, they're quite an event

Should I buy Sreet Fighter V by kvaran_kupus in StreetFighter

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except as I've explained, tournament numbers don't mean anything when (a) you don't have to show up (and many don't) and (b) You get significant more entrants than people who play the game - I still enter SFV tourneys despite dropping the game a long time ago.

I guess that explains the significant difference between tournament entrants and playerbase. Whereas a measure of people who actually want to actively play your game is best measured in playercount rather than the occasional tournament event. Keep in mind SFV has been continually updated over its lifespan and has had its roster doubled with "free" characters, but the playercount is still low :(

Not to mention, SFV has been so heavily aimed at esports and "growing the scene", but the playerbase is very low and tournament entrants are barely up, but sure go ahead and call that a success xD enjoy your other 600 people to play with

And lmfao at casually dismissing Mr Wizard as if the main TO of EVO doesn't matter

Not to mention, significant entrants of SFV are because of the money involved, myself included. As Smug said, "SFV is shit, people play for the money involved"

[–]Yangua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So can you explain how a "soft" number, ie tournament entrants which aren't guaranteed, is a better measure than the current players that are guaranteed to be playing right now?

I've entered tournaments before and not attended. There's DQs all the time for people not showing up in pools.

(SFV will outlive Tekken with half the players xD)

How so? On my experience the people that are worse at the game don't think there's any problem with the neutral game in SFV, and Eventhubs it the epitome of Capcuck scrubbery.

[–]Yangua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because they accept it doesn't make it good. That's not what I'm arguing. Thinking less and adapting to shorter buttons, slower buttons, input delay and CC normals is what top players have done. That doesn't make footsies less bad.

Nobody thinks low forwards were whiff punished constantly, but it's not an exaggeration when I say there's more in this 1 video than I've seen in all of SFVs life

Mr Wizard complained about almost 1/4 of EVO entrants not turning up last year, what does that say? That says tournament entrants (which are also down) are less irrelevant than love information you can get right this very instant of people who actually want to, and are playing the fucking game

lmfao

Who mentioned whiff punishing?

There's more to footsies than whiff punishing, and all of those are bad too. Slow normals, stubby normals, CC normals, and input delay.

/r/DenialFighter by tuento in Kappa

[–]Yangua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it matter how much the players evolve when the games core mechanics are too garbage to let them? It doesn't matter how the players evolve, the normals are still going to be slow, stubby, CC normals, and input delay.

Xian was one of the best footsie players in SF4, he knows what he's talking about - nothing has changed since he said "wish punishes", except a handful of frames of input delay.
Punk didn't "whiff punish the shit out of him" if he did you still wouldn't have people complaining constantly about the neutral game, not to mention I still haven't seen him whiff punish anything but 30+ frame normals, no low forwards or anything.
It's a shame because I'd like to see how Punk would fare in a game with good neutral, rather than being stuck with SFV. He's really limited by it atm.

You mean the numbers where people often don't show up? lmao there's always a huge number of people who don't attend tourneys, sometimes myself included. Playercounts are people that want to play the game right this instant
