Nuances of the Fighting Genre

Proto, schedule is PST. If you're in the East Coast that should work better for you. I'm in CA so I have to get up early if I wanna watch the Tekken finals.

Yeah I noticed it's quite early for you. It is early afternoon, but it'd be such a gap to catch anything interesting early afternoon and then wait for hours until something else pops up. I don't have enough movies for filler anymore. And good luck getting any of my friends here to play fighting games or something for more than an hour

Have a during the quiet hours then.

New stage revealed today.



Along with the Premium swimsuits finally being purchasable, Nostalgia costumes for Ibuki and Alex (Their 3S costumes) and a tease for Bison's SF2 Thailand stage in the future.

2:05 Chun Li looks

If only those statues were breakable if you threw your opponents towards them, I know it won't happen because Capcom took that feature out starting CE.

I wonder if Capcom contacted this modeler for Alex's nostalgia costume.

So the Tekken 7 tournament actually was a good watch. A U.S player over a Japanese ..... ?

Poongko getting 3rd place with Akuma really speaks for itself.

The game, especially some of the stages (That mechanical elevator one ) is looking really good so I am hoping Bamco doesn't screw up the PC version. I can already see that stage being the most laggiest of all.

And I claim Alice and Love as my new KOF waifus.

The current EVO stream numbers are quite something and not too surprising as well, with both SFV and SMB taking the leads respectively with up to 50K+ viewers. And when KI pools has more numbers than MKX pools!

Garou: Mark of the Wolves has been confirmed for a re-release for PS4 and Vita as well. Most likely a PC version aslo. Trophy support, online play etc, so I'm guessing it will be another DotEmu job just like the KOF98UM and KOF2002UM ports.

EDIT - Nope, looks like it's Code Mystics, who also did The Last Blade 2 re-release.

[ProtocolX27]

Numbers were up to 100K for SFV recently.

Glad to see classic support from SNK too.

That wasn't just a Japanese player, that was Nobi who won Evo last year for T7 vanilla. He also bested HolyKnee (2nd place this year with Bryan) in the T7 Global Championship Finals last year, which is where Akuma was first announced in FR.

Akuma is strong in this game, but it seems like Saint downloaded Poongko right away. As Markman said, there are certain things that Akuma can't punish but his offensive tools more than make up for his shortcomings.

I would welcome a Garou re-release on Steam (with online, of course). I remember playing that game in '99 using NeorageX.
