Ultra Street Fighter IV

[df0]

BlazBlue is mad hype.

[wretcherd]

Did a couple hours of the srkevo1 archive last night after she went to bed, really great stuff.

Got tomorrow off work as well so first thing I'll be on that final ting.

Harada's announcement has been leaked. I'm not sure if anyone would consider it a spoiler:

[Qazimod]

Anyone notice there is an announcement from Tekken's producer Harada today?

Normally I would just say its new Tekken stuff but there's no Tekken play at all today, in fact he's coming on just before USFIV.

Could this be info on Tekken X Street Fighter?

IGN says it's EDIT: that spoiler above. Not a whole lot of details out there yet...

(edited because a wild joffo appeared whilst I was typing)

[joffocakes]

For anyone not watching the BlazBlue finals: watch the BlazBlue finals.

[df0]

Listen to joffo, he knows.

[joffocakes]

It's done. So, so good. Make sure you all watch that, even if you have no idea what's going on in BlazBlue. I don't either. Phenomenal.

[Dig Dug]

AMAZING INCREDIBLE I'm going to start playing Blazblue.

[Nate Dogg III]

That was fucking beautiful. "This man is amazing. This man is inhuman. This is the birth of a god!"

[df0]

That was more than excellent. So entertaining to watch.

edit: the announcer gave me a sore throat. Time for a nice cool refreshing MTN Dew Baja Blast.

[Nate Dogg III]

Important note for anyone thinking of staying up for Ultra: they are already running around 45 mins late. KI supposed to start at 7pm BST.

[df0]

I can probably watch the Ultra finals live during Monday's breakfast.

[imp]

I'm glad I just ordered a copy of chrono phantasma last Thursday. (I had no idea it was actually out!)

[angel]

blazblu was excellent, even though I had no idea what was happening mechanically. but I had no idea killer instinct was so boring even at a high level. looks awful too

[Dig Dug]

When I think of pro KI I imagine dudes being hyper aggressive and doing like 50 hit ultra combos constantly. The reality is the total opposite.

[Nate Dogg III]

Yeah KI is horrible. Fun to play but it's not a tournament game, just not hype enough.

Still buzzing off Blazblue. Man.

[JDubYes]

Does anyone know where I could find the Blazblue finals? I'm a fan (if still terrible, and only on Continuum Shift Extend), and had no idea it was on, but would love to see it. Guessing it won't be on YouTube yet, so...

[ah]

Wait until the stream finishes tonight and then find it in the twitch archives. Channel is twitch.tv/srkevo1 but the archive won't appear until the broadcast finishes.

[df0]

Ugh, Smash now. Time for a break.

[nuskool]

An off stream USFIV match from Friday:

Daigo vs John Choi

Thanks. Probably best to try tomorrow then? And the same goes with Ultra (and indeed Marvel)?

That'd work quite well for me, actually - I love to watch competitive (video game) fightings while I do weights, so I'll be set for the next week or two if that's right!

[joffocakes]

I like to watch them while I do ironing. I feel emasculated.

[Lyrical Donut]

So, they're running about an hour late now?

Anyone around for a scrap?

[Nate Dogg III]

55 mins late for the start of Smash. Now getting to the point where I can consider going to bed and setting an early alarm.

thx for posting, I'm making my way through the Main stream archives where they're hearing twitter rumours of the exits.

I really miss mk 9 it was binned too early, injustice is nowhere near as fun

[Revival]

KI is as boring as you want to make it especially if you don't appreciate how to play it. One of the most fun vs fighters out there to play.

[Nate Dogg III]

And only on Xbox One.

I do appreciate how to play it, I just don't enjoy watching it. Hope that's ok.

[Revival]

No it's not. How very dare you.

[joffocakes]

I found Killer Instinct quite boring to watch though I don't really know how it plays really. Of course I have no idea how to play BlazBlue either and that was exhilarating. Maybe because BlazBlue is a whole lot prettier and I'm shallow?

[angel]

KI just seems soulless, and the combos deathly dull. Like the guy as spindela or whatever she's called, just spamming this awkward looking crap spin attack, or chief thunder slash slash slash identical moves. There must be some behind the scenes money behind it being there as it's not entertaining
