For what it's worth, I always appreciated your coverage. I love KI man, it's such a great game. I honestly think it has honed my FG skills a bit, specifically my defense.
They haven't talked sales, but they do say that KI is doing well. At Final Round there were 66 entrants, and of those some of the "regulars" didn't come, but other new faces did.
I don't think he was blaming anyone, just making a point, but for you to "blame" MS for people on TYM (you) choosing not to play KI is kind of dumb. Either you like the game or not. KI is quality, but if you are a PS4 fan at the end of the day and don't want to try the game, that is your prerogative.
Don't get me wrong. It's a great thing that IG keeps up with their players and events, but I feel it promotes, "this is good enough." Which, no offense, is exactly what you're saying right now, lol. The environment of a tournament alone can change the way you play given the noise, nerves, having someone sitting right next to you, etc. That will never fully be replaced, even with godlike net play. Personally, I want a challenge like that. Staying at home makes it easier on yourself and will limit the level of players you face. Just my $.2.
I agree with your sentiment. I just play games I like. Since there are games I like on both Xbox and playstation I have both. And Wii for when people come over for drinks
It has GREATLY improved my play in fighting games. From wake up logic to footsies to spacing to truly understanding how to truly maneuver in back to block games, it has helped me a ton. Especially with the replay system and hitbox display.
Yeah, I mean I agree with what you are saying, but my personal view is that tournaments aren't really all that exciting to me. I've a mortgage and a career to maintain, so allocating time for a digital comic-con isn't where I want to put my resources. But I still enjoy the game and the competitive nature it brings, so having online is an outlet for me. I would argue (based on tournament numbers relative to sales) that having a genuine venue to get good at a game (ie online) can do nothing but spark interest in these events.
How about dat Dojo? That alone can improve someones understanding of fighting games. I've never seen anything like it in another fighting game. It flat out teaches you REAL combos, how to anti air, play defense, basically everything really well. Because of that I've seen way more people anti airing and playing at a very basic level of fundamentals more so than any other game online. It was smart.
Yeah but if there is no lag, shazzy won't have any lag advantage on his characters anymore
I'm very much pro online
Well, there is nothing to debate about here. You like what you like and it's not my duty to convince you to prove yourself to such a point you need to travel and enter tournaments. If that's not what you want, well that's not what you want. I do agree about online possibly bringing more exposure to tournaments.....as long as the developers advertise it on the game menu or something....like KI, but minus the online ones lol.
But more to your point, I really enjoy watching tournaments. I hope to see you play some soon
U mean the last thing I tell "The last thing you see before bed:
There is actually a pretty good possibility that KI will come to the PC in the coming year or so (at least that is the hope), so accessibility should open up over time if that is indeed the case. That being said, again, he wasn't blaming anyone for anything, the "blame game" started with the comment in response to Blake's.
Whoa, Pig, don't start going anti-good netcode on us.
