Great tournament, except the commentary was terrible and most of your handshakes weren't vigorous enough to be truly sportsmanlike... try to work on that for next time. And I was watching the stream and at one point it dropped frames for like a whole second. I mean, come on guys, step it up a...
On the negative side, the 2nd hit is relatively easy to JG if you block the 1st hit, and it's very punishable at -23. But the risk/reward ratio is still skewed pretty heavily in Asta's favor.
That doesn't even make sense. This is a community forum. We're on the inside, looking in. There are no outsiders here.
Furthermore, I don't get what the problem is with constructive criticism. Are our egos so sad and fragile that we can't stand to say that something can be improved?
I see...
There seems to be some false dichotomy that commentary has to be either dry and technical or nonstop shouting and "hype building." Good commentary is somewhere in between.
Anyway, I had two main problems with the commentary:
1. FilthieRich appeared to have limited knowledge of the game. He...
The level of skill on display at this tournament was amazing - these are some of the best and most exciting matches I've seen in a long time. Congrats to everyone, and especially OmegaDR.
I have to agree with this, although I'll go as far as to say the commentary was just plain terrible, not...
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to NCR due to family obligations, but SC5 isn't my first rodeo. I've played in probably hundreds of tournaments in my life, including the TTT and SC2 nationals. Hell, I qualified for the TTT Nationals in your very own Seattle, WA. Things like respecting your...
I have this crazy idea that you should treat other human beings with respect, and that just because something is allowed doesn't mean you should do it. You are totally right that we have our own opinions - I just find it pretty wild that people think that being shitty to another person is a okay...
It's disappointing that so many people are okay with bad sportsmanship and showing a total lack of respect for fellow players. Within the rules or not, if you are shit talking your opponent during the match, then you are acting like a jerk, plain and simple. Go ahead with your mental gymnastics...
Haha, 15 frames would be amazing... imagine punishing Pyrrha's stab with a CE. I can't wait to see the actual frame data.
Anyway, where do you live, that you got the patch already?
You have at least two mistakes:
1. Astaroth is missing completely. His fastest moves are 6AA, standing K, and his two crouch grabs, all i13.
2. APat's fastest move is not AA. It's his CE, at i8.
3. (Bonus) Sieg's quickest move is SSH K, at i9. However, I suspect you are listing the fastest...
You're right - that's the fastest option, though it's still prone to execution error if you go through 1 instead of through neutral. But overall I would say it's the best choice. Other than fixing 8WR so that the correct moves come out, that is. =P
