I didn't think AE'12 wasn't to hype aside from Infitration vs Laugh and Infiltration vs Tokido.

"While we plan to reveal the full Evo 2014 lineup sometime in January, we wanted to put minds at ease by stating that if Ultra Street Fighter IV does see an early June release date, then we will include it in our roster for 2014. We’re confident that this gives the players enough time to prepare. In 2011, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition came out in June of 2011, yet it provided an incredibly memorable tournament."

That sounds silly. They're just about done so I don't see why they're sitting on it now unless they're doing it to stall for time to get other projects done.

 

[nk4e]

It apparently brings a new level of freshness to AE. In a way, since it is bring revamped. The playing field is fresh and new. So there is no favorites but there is the favorites.

EVO 2014 will be on AE'12 right?
Because I don't think, players will have enough time to train and adapt to the new version.

there's plenty of time to adapt. The base game will play nearly the same but you will have a lot more dynamic outcome. I don't even see red focus picking up all that quickly by a lot of people and the new characters will probably not be too rampant in top 16 at all.

Bet on a lot of grinding when it comes out. Cuz I sure will be putting in hardcore hours upon release.

Ultra's going to be the game for EVO 2014. Mr. Wizard said so:

The whole thing about Capcom getting Ultra out in June but keep the retail copy until August just to have it at EVO is just 🤬. I just hope that the community would call them out on it.

For me, one month ins't enough to adapt, but I am not a pro... I remember I took a few weeks to mastered and adapt when I changed between AE to AE'12.
Anyway, this week I read that MCZ Mago spend 15 hours a day on games, so I guess that the TOP players will adapt fine on Ultra's changes.

Yep, I thought the same as you.

By the way, tonight I will play Arcana Heart 3

Most people will have the same amount of time to adapt regardless of how comfortable everyone gets, the playing field is still the same. Those who want to win badly enough at EVO would've went to test locations to try it early.

Level playing field unless you know how to read frame data.

Realistically speaking, no one goes to EVO clueless about frame data.

A friend of mine, sent me this video.

I am learning the science of fencing with the French foil. It's a multi-year endeavor that potentially leads to Spanish and Italian rapiers, sabers and longswords. Hopefully, I will never actually hurt anyone - but it all does have something to do with fighting.

A fighting game I recently bought actually does have a practical application to fighting - it's the Gladiator Duel in Sports Champions, a game for PS3 equipped with the Move Motion optics and controllers. You will definitely challenge and improve your eye/hand coordination, strength, speed, accuracy and anticipation of opponent's moves with this game. Sports Champions 2 has a boxing game, which is supposedly not bad.

I did, I knew about it but I didn't know how to read it.

I mean, pro or not, some people just learn faster than others. They toughest thing to grind will be new character match ups, although you can probably already draw out a fair plan against a character like Hugo whom play kinda like a bit like Zangief with more unsafe moves so you just kite them with long limbs and keep them out until something new or fishy happens.

For older match ups, I think everyone should look closer into the details of their match ups and just improvise when the game comes in. I'm excited to pick up new characters and yet at the same time I'm not excited for my main, M.Bison, who hasn't really received any useful new buffs but instead everyone else got much better buffs in comparison and majority of his match ups will not be much better. The Guile match up will be a lot worse and it may be going into 2-8 status in Ultra SF4.

Well, it depends. Chun gets a HP buff; to me that means that I can more aggressive now that I don't have to worry about losing the life lead too much.

Capcom Cup was so HYPE!

UMVC3 for 5 dollars on XBLA/PSN!

 

[AOS-]

^ About that. All Marvel vs Capcom 3 has been taken off XBL/PSN including all DLC.

 

[nk4e]

I bought a copy like two days ago. Though I wonder if you delete a game, could you get it back?

 

[AOS-]

They're not removing it entirely from the system, they're only taking it off the store so people aren't able to buy it anymore. Likely because of the Marvel franchise and how big the films have gotten. Greedy move if you ask me. Not like there's a whole lot to lose from Capcom obtaining licensing to make a game so many people love.

 

[nk4e]

Well, its just going to re-create the MVC2 syndrome, where we waited 10 years to get another game to build that hype. It could be that Disney's pulling the plug since it has so many Marvel characters, but they haven't touched any of the Soul Calibur series for three main characters. Although Capcom has apparently is low in funds for awhile, maybe this was their only choice.

 

[Spektru]

Sho looks like a fun character to play.
