I really don't see why this would be the case, given the inclusion of online play. We're probably getting the PAL version. It's kind of a baffling decision, but no stupider than writing the game off before we've had a chance to see how the differences really affect the game (which is what I...

I don't expect the game to make a big comeback either way. If it does pick up again in spite of its whackiness, great, but I'll just try to have fun with it for at least a month or so.

Heh, people are just now freaking out about this stuff? It didn't seem like that big a deal to the European scene back when SC2 was "big," but maybe I'm just forgetting a whole bunch. Whatever, maybe they'll fix some of it before rel-bahahaha who am I kidding. Gonna be tapping ankles for ~25%...

And we'll be able to use it against ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! SWEEEEEEEEET!

Free or not, aimed at casuals or not, releasing a fighting game without any kind of versus mode is stupid as hell. I hope there was some issue with translation or that this is just another cobbled-together action game set in the SC universe because I mean...really?

Although I don't think it should replace SC5, it would be kind of cool for SC2 to see a semi-revival like SSF2T or Smash Melee had. As stupid as this game could get, watching the YouTube video of Aris' SC2 stream did get me excited to have all of those options again.

I don't think this will replace SC5. There might be a SC2 "revival" of sorts for a bit, but I don't see it lasting very long.

If SCV gets included again and all the people who voted don't at least try to show up, y'all are pussies.

This is the best bargain for a fighting game in a long time, even if VF5FS is two years old. Hopefully it tempts a lot of people into at least trying VF. It's a great price for an impulse buy. Also, Sega's holding a side tourney for this at Evo with a $15k prize pot...

DUANE!!!

Sportsmanship? Spare me. Tournaments aren't contests to see who the better "sportsman" is. They're contests of skill and mental endurance, and good shit talk is a great way to gain the mental advantage. It's not necessarily easy, either. You have to know which buttons to push, and like a lot of...

Shit talk is everywhere. Pro sports, politics, fighting games, you name it. If your nerves aren't strong enough to keep from letting it get to you, you probably couldn't perform at the highest level anyway. What about all the people in the crowd yelling at Alex? Should they be required to shut...

First Hates is ugly, and now me? Must be a bear hunter. And trust me, you don't want me to cut my hair. The length is the only thing weighing it down enough to keep it from frizzing out like crazy in wet weather. That aside, thanks much for the comments. I plan to brush up on it in the months...

Hope everyone enjoyed the commentary. Feedback is welcome. Good stuff to Aris for being his typically hilarious self. It was great fun to witness first-hand!

Good write-up, and good to see ShinBlanka weighing in too. From the perspective of someone who was only a spectator, I think Final Round was great fun to watch and did a good job of helping the FGC recover from the Cross Assault debacle. There were lots of memorable moments from the SC5 tourney...

Anyone who knows me knows I'm all about saying outlandish and offensive things from time to time, but I try to follow a basic principle of mass media: know your audience. To wit, women have been bombarded since youth with the notions that they exist largely to placate men and that they will not...

Getting over the crippling fear of "unsafety" is something a lot of people, myself included, need to work on. The u-word gets thrown around so much (especially around here) that a lot of potentially useful tools get written off. One thing I've started doing more of is throwing out 4BB with...
