East Coast Throwdown 3 has finished up and the stream was hosted by Team Spooky.
#5 yeah you're right, it's essentially just 'Tits: The Game'.
Not sure I like the look of gameplay at all, the animations are very smooth but it still manages to look super clunky...maybe it's just because it's in early stages but still.
The only thing i love about skullgirls is the soundtrack
it was made by michiru yamane... and thats awesome.
You're calling it "Tits: the game" when only one character is like that. How can you even complain about the characters when there are only three of them right now? The important thing is that they animate extremely well and they're got really creative, unique movesets. The game looks awesome, I have no idea how you can complain.
@Catalyst What time does Street Fighter X Tekken starts?
Normal Mortal Kombat 9 is awesome, but I'm still waiting for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 9.
Is there a schedule for this tournament? I didn't see one on the official website.
>Jaha commentating
I wish there was an option to mute the commentary and keep the game audio on :/
wow such low level of competition...
Compared to Shadowloo Showdown, this tournament is ass !!
Shadowloo Showdown should double the points for the top 16 considering the level of competition there... it's not fair that tournaments low level tourneys like MAT, ECT and such rewards the same amount of points...
i wish that the competitive scene was like tennis, with grand slams and tourneys. The grand slams could be: Evo, Tougeki and shadowloo. And the points from the lesser tounerys will still be used for the the place at grand slams.
D:
pd: sorry the broken english. not a native speaker.
It's a shame that I don't know what time does Street Fighter X Tekken starts and they said that the new build will come next week.
i have to agree Shadowloo Showdown needs to get 2X point for its SSF4:AE tournament. yeah, i wish they are like tennis.
Alot of the so call "major" tournaments are very low level.
Worst tourney I;ve been to, had to wait for hours for a freaking match!
@26 I heard the same from someone else he got his money back he was so pissed.
@26
So it wasn't a great tournament, great experience?
@31
Are you really that stupid or just trolling? j/w
Pretty boring tournament compared to Shadowloo Showdown unfortunately...even the commentary is bad.
lovin the guile action, hope you scrubs are learning a thing or two about zoning and footsies
Lol, damn... Another tournament NOT dominated by Yun/Yang/Fei!?! Are you kidding me!!! How can this be? I thought the world was going to end when the "Yun Army" came?
So that's Revelations, CEO, NCR9, SS and ECT with only ONE Yun winning. And surprise, it's Daigo Umehara! Lol.
How dumb you haters must feel. Oh, but let me guess... This doesn't proove anything right?
Lmfao.
i thought EMP Tom Brady was here. Did he get eliminated early?
THE_GODDAMN_MASTER must be loving these results. What's this?!! One Yun in top 8?? He must be OP!!
I was disappointed with the lack of west coast presence. This tournament was like a "bigger" version of Tuesday night's Break Weekly (8wayrun). No Japanese players, no west coast players. There were a exciting matches. That was it. All in all, it was pretty boring for an Evo event to say the least.
@48
Very good point. The results lately only confirms what the reasonable players have been saying about Yun all along.
The Yun haters are ignorant to the bone and they can only complain about Yun is "broken" and cry like a bunch of overgrown third graders.
But anyways, it'll be hella nice if MDR, Kazunoko, and Daigo could all be at EVO this year. Why? So all the Yun haters can suck it that's why.
#45 It was worth evo points.
http://iplaywinner.com/news/2011/4/29...
I wouldnt use SS as an example of yun not dominating. Top 8 had 3 yuns including the runner up. If it wasnt for Poongko godlike Seth, another Yun (momochi) could of easily took it. Kindevu's Yun might of placed higher if Momochi didnt eliminate him as well. Just saying
And i actually watched all the matches ( Im stationed in Korea, so time difference didnt matter) and Momochi's Yun (when he used him) did dominate everyone besides Poongko and at times Tokido. You cant just say "Oh he got 2nd, he didnt dominatE" because for the most part he didnt struggle against most opponents wih Yun. Same with Kindevu
@62
Ok, but if all the pro's are using him of course you'll see a ton of them. That doesn't change the FACT that it's not Yun/Yang/Fei winning.
It's C.Viper, Akuma and Seth. Let's get real here for a minute... You think those players you mentioned weren't going to the top no matter who they picked?
Momochi should have just played his Ken. Honestly, I feel his Ken > than Poongko's Seth.
Poongko is awesome btw, not trying to hate.
"why isn't the Top 8 dominated by Yun???? Yun renders half of the cast useless, right?? "
stream monsters are not happy this week. they can't complain about yun, don;t make them mad.
@69
"@ #65
Just becuase Yun didnt make top 8, it doesnt mean hes not broken as f*ck!
But yeah dumb remarks from Yun-players trying to justify their choise of tierwhoring, is expected i guess"
Yo sparky, let me help you on this one: Just because Yun didn't make top 8 doesn't mean that he's not broken as f-ck! But yeah, dumb remarkes from Yun players trying to justify their choice of tier-whoring is expected, I guess.
So when will you crybaby scrubs stop trying to push forward the myth that Yun is "broken"? The day when every Yun player loses every single match? Sorry, but that's not going to ever happen.
BTW, how come everybody uses the same arguments when trying to say that SSF4-Guile was not OP and say that SSF4-Cammy's TKCS was not broken but the same argument can't be used for Yun?
There are lost of threads where people try to say that Guile was not OP in SSF4 because not many tournaments were won by Guile players, an argument which doesn't even hold true. People also say that SSF4-Cammy's TKCS was not broken because not many tournaments were won by Cammy as well.
So after all the times that such arguments have been used to defend Cammy and Guile in SSF4, how come such arguments can't be used for Yun???
Because Yun has been shown to dominate when played correctly and time is put into him America has only like 2 to 3 real good Yun players and none are EC they have even mentioned before that EC players have the least Yun experience. The Guile & Cammy argument is stupid because they never placed since other characters where much better Cammy loses to turtles while one or two KD and Guile is done since he has a very weak wake up game.
Now Yun has more capable tools for most situations as well as wake up game so he doesn't have the weaknesses that the Cammy & Guile posses also to everyone really the word you are looking for is OP, broken is entirely different. Now the Yun argument here is similar to the Sagat argument he was OP but America didn't really know how to fully use him to his fullest as compared to Japan so I will say some american Yun's will place at least top 32 come Evo, but any japanese Yun's will place top 8 or win the whole thing.
@73
This is worse knit argument I've heard so far:
"Because Yun has been shown to dominate when played correctly and time is put into him"
Look bro, any character can dominate when the player plays it correctly and puts time into the game. Saying that a character is broken because the character can dominate when played correctly and time is put is not a good argument.
Did Mike Ross not do well in Shadowloo this weekend? Well, Mike Ross dominated with E.Honda this past week at Shadowloo because he played correctly and he dedicates time to his gameplay. So thus, I conclude that E.Honda is broken and OP. LOL!!!!!
@73
"Now the Yun argument here is similar to the Sagat argument he was OP but America didn't really know how to fully use him to his fullest as compared to Japan so I will say some american Yun's will place at least top 32 come Evo, but any japanese Yun's will place top 8 or win the whole thing."
Grimmjow316, I highly advise you to go back and read what Aluppoj said back during post #48. In case if you're too lazy to navigate this page and find the post yourself, I'll just re-quote what Aluppoj said right here for ya:
"Lol, damn... Another tournament NOT dominated by Yun/Yang/Fei!?! Are you kidding me!!! How can this be? I thought the world was going to end when the "Yun Army" came?
So that's Revelations, CEO, NCR9, SS and ECT with only ONE Yun winning. And surprise, it's Daigo Umehara! Lol.
How dumb you haters must feel. Oh, but let me guess... This doesn't proove anything right?
Lmfao."
well disregard the whole comment breaking down how Yun can win btw I said OP not broken get your facts straight but look who I'm talking too a guy who jumps into Sonic Hurricanes lol.
The flaw in your argument is that really isn't true certain characters suck no matter how much time is put example Dan & Hakan come easily to mind none have ever broken top 32 especially the best ones like Wildcat or Stripfighter some character have better tools than others Yun just has them sadly now comparing US result to Japan results is weak due to the fact arcades are few and most didn't have AE so again Yun's in USA won't show real results till later down in the year as compared to Japan where there domination has been shown.
BTW you're a hypocrite since you said Mike was lucky against Mago and who took him out Kindevu with you guessed Yun why because he had better tools.
Now before the whole well durr Pongko won Momochi's weakness lies in the fact he plays multiple characters instead of sticking with one or two so his Yun isn't in the top 5, top 10 yes but still not at the lvl of Daigo or Kazunoko.
@77 - but that argument works against you. If Yun really is that dominant of a character and so brain-dead to use, then shouldn't Momochi have easily taken out Poongko's Seth, regardless of what other characters he may use? That's the basis of a lot of the complaining, after all: people dropping their mains left and right to place high in tourneys with Yun without nearly as much work.
And you make it sound like Momochi isn't a good Yun. From what I watched, that is a pro Yun, regardless of how many other characters he uses. Most high-level players play more than one character so that theory just doesn't work.
And Kindevu isn't just some fly-by-night player either, btw. Many of the twin-users at SS were veteran 3rd Strike players, so they knew what they were doing long before the tourney.
And somehow they still didn't completely dominate.
But let's not zone in on just that tourney - many of the others listed had Yuns in the tops (expected), but most weren't dominated by them at all. In fact the only Yun I can think of that won convincingly was Daigo, and... well, he's Daigo.
Anyhow, I just found it funny that the Yun domination that everyone feared *so far* has been pretty much non-existent. Random guys picking Yun aren't making it into tops (they're getting blown up), and even among the top players, experience is winning out.
^
This ain't DBZ bro, you don't lose your "energy" after playing a couple sets. We are talking about the same people who play ft5s and ft10s on a regular basis
Let's not make excuses now, Mike lost because he got outclassed. Kindevu is just a better player
@77 Momochi used Yun through most of the tournament and got to grand finals. Momochi using Yun wasn't a weakness, it was something that was working all weekend, he even beat Kindevu who has mained Yun since December. Momochi lost because Poongko had practiced the Yun matchup while Momochi hadn't. And playing the top Seth in the world without matchup experience proved to be too difficult for him
@80 In the interview they had with Poongko right after he won he said Momochi had mauled him in casuals they played a couple days before. It wasn't a matchup issue. Poongko was just very aggressive and made great reads. He was in his zone. It was like PR Rog vs. Tokido a month or so ago. The guy was playing out of his mind.
lol @ #63 :D
Slowly slowly, Yun's getting put in his place :)
*sigh* apparently reading is so damn hard these days Mirrors never prove anything to begin with that and Momochi plays multiple characters so that hurts due to not knowing every trick of just one character. Hence his weakness is he is at maybe 80% of the character down. Also I never said he was brain dead so don't put words in my mouth, Momochi uses multiple characters which is fun but again that's what hurts him so far I know he uses four and his best is his Ken to begin with.
So because one of the best players in Japan won a tournament a few weeks after release, Yun is automatically sub-par.
@80 - LOL... can't lie, that was actually pretty funny. kudos on that. :p
Anyhow, I think you know what I meant. It's pretty common actually, even if they play so many matches and are used to running "first to [??]" and playing for insane amounts of hours. You can get that one match that you put everything (mentally) into it and after flying to another country and being up for hours on end, it'll wear on you.
It was my polite way of saying that he kinda' got outplayed by Kindevu, I thought.
@86 - fair enough, you didn't say he's brain-dead.
it looks like s-kill is the old grandpa whos stories no one wants to hear hahaah
So far, Skullgirls looks really impressive.
