yeah this does seem like something pretty minor to complain about. maybe it's one of those "principle of the matter" things. NA especially seems like they're doing pretty well out of this.

yeah it's not surprising Justin isn't there. he didn't play much ST for a long time, said "I don't like throwing fireballs."

I think Mike Watson is somewhere between semi-retirement and all the way retirement. might not have felt up to it maybe. he's a legend for sure.

no the last qualifiers were yesterday. this is the actual tournament now. 32 entrants, 3/5. top 8 will be on main stream at midnight

yeah I looked at the bracket right after I asked. oops. well that's okay. I gotta be up early so I'll probably miss the top 8 though. sucks. I'm sure it'll end up on Youtube anyway.

ST 4 life

there's still qualifying spots left, right? maybe we'll see Justin Wong make it through. that'll be a good time. he's actually done reasonably well in ST touranments for the last year or two.

the way this was handled and the way Capcom handled SFxT are vastly different though. Atlus apologized, promised it isn't a new policy, and explained why they did it. Capcom lied about the reason there was no couch co-op, lied about the DLC characters not being finished, and responded to BBB complaints by saying "we never promised couch co-op play on 360 anyway."

Capcom does get some flack it probably doesn't deserve, but there's a clear difference between Capcom and Atlus in these instances and it's easy to see why one met with a lot of negativity and the other did not.

damn, that ST bracket is full of killers. holy crap. they even got Kusumondo.

yup. really that's the most exciting part of this year's Evo for me. so much talent stuck together.

Capcom could release this exact statement and there would be absolute hate

I doubt it. also they would never release a statement like this - their statement would say "Sony won't allow us to make it region free, also we never promised it would be region free so you are really complaining about nothing. as a consolation prize you can buy 25% of the cast for an additional $20 six months from now." Capcom exists in a different reality of customer interaction.

if anyone wants to 3s while you wait for boring things to end, I'm down. we can play together and be sad. or maybe happy.

or if you hate 3s maybe a bit of SF4

Mike Ross should stop calling himself ass at this game. he's amazing compared to the vast majority of the community

on a related note I think UMvC3 is the game I've spent watching the most without ever having had a desire to play it. way too many hours watching tournaments and sets.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npHDxSvwCE0

watching all the high level play you kind of forget that like 99% of the Marvel community is not great at their game

pools are an eye opener

match of the day was that one where Daigo kept coming back. sick stuff.

there's 3s casuals happening at Evo between many of the best American and Japanese players over the next couple days. hotel rooms, CRTs, and everything. even rumors of actual arcade cabs instead of OE. I am jealous. when you've got that much talent gathered together you should host a side tournament. it's one of the two old Capcom games that people still play a lot. if they did host it they'd probably have UltraDavid and James Chen commentate though, so maybe it's for the best. don't need any more "hey guys did you know there's only 3 characters in this game LOL" in my life.

I was pretty disappointed to see Mike Ross out again so quick. from the commentary it sounds like everyone thinks he's the best Honda in the world. which apparently doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. hoping he does better in UMvC3 and SFxT. I'll be watching SFxT just to see if his team does well. everyone says he's good at it and he doesn't even jab people to death.

For many of you, there is no explanation that resonates, no justification that atones for this fact. We can only endeavor to earn back your confidence and, to learn from your arguments. We absolutely recognize the fear that this is the beginning of a trend. We in no way view it as such. Please also keep in mind that the game’s excellent online multiplayer is global, a fact that is in no way affected by the region-lock. Players can compete against fighters from all territories.

A tremendous team of talented developers and artists poured their blood, sweat, and tears into Persona 4 Arena, and every reaction we’ve ever received to the game has shown that those efforts are readily apparent. The decision to region-lock P4 Arena was a business one, one that has very clearly affected how many perceive the project, but we ask you to please not overlook the exceptional efforts of the people behind the game and to work with us through constructive dialogue.

Thank you.

seems reasonable to me! great to see such direct communication from a company that seems to care a lot about making its fans happy.

http://shoryuken.com/2012/07/06/persona-4-arena-to-be-the-playstation-3s-first-region-locked-game-atlus-usa-releases-statement-addressing-the-decision-this-is-not-the-beginning-of-a-new-atlus-policy/

Friends of ATLUS,

The last week brought with it news that Persona 4 Arena would effectively become the first PlayStation 3 system game to be region-locked. We can today confirm that this is true; the game will be region-locked in all its respective territories of release.

As we’ve ascertained from your impassioned responses online, this is obviously a tremendous frustration for many fans. We understand the various perspectives on the matter. Those who fear this is a slippery slope, the beginning of a dangerous and unnecessary precedent. Those who import foreign hardware for a multitude of reasons and expect to be unlimited in their software selection. Those who aren’t necessarily affected by this issue, but who are principally opposed to it. We are not blind to these concerns and we pledge to grow ever more informed as to exactly what our fans want. It should be added that we were completely unprepared for the force with which the community communicated their disapproval.

There are, however, a few points to clarify. This is NOT the beginning of a new ATLUS policy, nor do we view it as a precedent or a slippery slope. If anything, your determination and dedication to what you believe in has certainly stood in the face of that. This is an isolated case, a situation precipitated by a number of factors, some of which are simply out of our North American hands. Moreover, and perhaps there is no way to convince our fans of this considering the magnitude of the betrayal many are feeling, but we are not doing this out of malice or a desire to control. Allow us to explain.

Persona 4 Arena achieves a number of triumphs for our North American publishing house. For years, our fans have asked us to include dual language audio in our games. Finally, with P4 Arena, we were able to deliver on that desire and include the exact same content as the Japanese release for our North American fans. Moreover, our North American community is often forced to wait months for a localized release (a plight our friends across the Atlantic can relate to). Again, with P4 Arena, we’re able to release within two weeks of Japan. We pushed hard for these things. We know our fans want them–well really, EXPECT them–and we did our best to get as much for our release as possible.

The unforeseen consequence in all of this was that we had a version of our biggest game of the year releasing within a couple weeks in two territories, both identical in content, but at radically different price points. Importing, as great as it is for gamers who otherwise can’t get access to a title, can also cannibalize the performance of a title in one territory to the benefit of another. While we’re all one big ATLUS family, the reality is that the dramatic difference between the Yen and the Dollar makes for a dramatic difference in price. So the decision was made, perhaps at the expense of some of our fans, clearly at the frustration of many, to region-lock Persona 4 Arena.

on my end I've been spending a lot of 3s time in training mode lately, and it's paying off. can reliably hit confirm Chun's cr mk and Elena's cr mp and jump rh into super. still working on Ken, you only have 13 frames to cancel that which is noticeably shorter.

also can now semi-reliably do Makoto's cr mp hayate SA1, and Ken's mp hp dp dp, both of which eluded me for a while. kind of timing specific.

once I get all that straight away and can do all of them on a hit confirm basis (as well as get everyone else's hit confirms going well) it's time to move on to kara throws which are a big hole in my game at the moment. after that, maybe I can learn Genei Jin and actually use Yun properly.

what's the advantage of a hitbox? I'm guessing no accidental diagonals and no need to return to neutral ever?

--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npHDxSvwCE0

I wish I was good enough to play ST at a level where I could learn things from it

sadly that is not the case

--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npHDxSvwCE0

too much tick throw
decent mixups
too much jump forward
no combos in sight
