We have fighting games too Honest. I know a couple people who went to EVO. (it's held in a las vegas hotel ballroom and it was literally standing room only, 1500 people signed up for SF4 alone, and they held multiple other tournaments, not to mention side tournaments)

Oh yeah fighting games. But there's only like...well 1 fighting game I can take seriously for Tournaments and that's Street Fighter.

lolSupersmash tournament.

Now to go figure out how to make 50 bucks for SF4.

The only thing out of that list I will call respectable is King of Fighters.

Haven't played BlazBlue but I hear good things so it gets a free pass.

MVC is pushing it, along with Guilty Gear. A good thing to play with your buddies but I can't take the competitive scene seriously, like with SSB.

Tekken and Soul Calibur I'd have to disagree with, then yell incoherently at you till I got bored, then possibly go make a hot pocket.

I'm gonna go make a hot pocket.

[/quote]MvC and Guilty Gear are way more respectable compared to Smash. They're at least designed to be competitive, while Smash was not. MvC evolved into a whole different beast than Capcom expected it to be. At least there's no debate about what is and isn't legal, and there's no banned characters or any of that type of thing. The competitive rules for MvC have been set for close to 8 years, while Smash's rules are ever changing and being just fucking stupid. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core+ is one of the most balanced fighting games out there. Along with BlazBlue, even though there are some seriously stupid matchups, however they are fixing those after the next big tournament in Japan apparently. Soul Calibur and Tekken, however are not as well balanced, there are no stupid disputes between the fighting game community. I watched most of the tournaments at EVO going on and all of them were fun to watch. SCIV was fun to watch, because a lot of people got pissed at Hilde and how she would ring out everyone, however one guy came back and eliminated all of the Hildes from the tournament and won the whole thing. There was great character dispersity and it was fun to watch. Same with Tekken. Pretty much any fighting game community outside of Smash is good.

WHO HAS THIS

Edit for clarity:

Who has Beta access currently? I just franticly checked my gmail over my Blackberry. No go for me.

I guess that is what I get for stopping playing Blizzard games.

The Water Still Beads - My goodness this game is polished. I mean, I know this is Blizzard, and I know it's been 12 years in the making, but still. From menu screen to interface to terrain to the behaviour and animation of the units, this game is dripping with incidental detail. You want to see what Blizzard mean when they say "it's done when it's done", you boot this game up and compare the trimmings with any other game you've ever played, you'll see what they're talking about.

[Tricks]

A month or so later, anybody else have this?

I know a few people in the Bronze and Gold brackets for League play so far, but the mirco-game is still really undefined at this point. I still don't have access, which is fine as I have BC2 to keep me busy in the meantime.

Feel free to gloat below and make me feel badly
