I went to look and it looks like the match directly after this one, Jin-Air defeating ROX, assured KSV’s playoff spot thanks to head-to-heads. Read more

Thanks for the catch! Added to the post. Read more

I knew I missed something! Will add that to the post. Read more

I’m really interested to see how the talents and skills carry across through episodes. Hoping I can hone a super-Louis by the end. Read more

Hm. It’s hard to say, as we’re only one episode in. I’m interested enough that I want to see it through, and it definitely has a different feel and pace compared to Telltale, for example. Read more

A few have mentioned this, but Daigo’s prep for big sets like these has always been incredible. He comes into these FT10 sets knowing the match-up so well. Read more

Aegis Reflector! I just call it a mirror among friends because it reflects things. But I can update to use the proper terminology. Sorry, Chef Cosmic. Read more

That’s Purge, who’s incredibly smart when it comes to Dota. Read more

I don’t know, I’m still pretty big on Outlaws and XL for OWL skins. Read more

Personally I think if it gets to 10 OT you should just settle it with a round of gun game, but to each their own. Read more

You’re dead-on about Eqo and Shadow playing largely the same role, and it might just be that we’re looking at one of the OWL’s first “QB controversies.” Read more

Honestly, I’ve always wanted to see some gimmick maps. The second Hunger Games book had that awesome circular arena set-up (no spoilers), I would love to see a dev quietly drop a few like that into the map rotation and let players figure it out. Read more

We actually talked about this! 16 as a character was an underdog in the TV series, so it was a surprise for Geary to find out once the game came out that he was an absolute monster in DBFZ. Completely shattered expectations. Read more

Speaking only for myself, the Goku stuff is just joking about how many usual suspect Saiyans there are in this game. There are so many unique, interesting characters in Z and Super, I’d really like to see ArcSys’ take on someone like Roshi or Jiren. Especially if that means interesting mechanics like, say, pet… Read more

Yeah, I mentioned that the erasure thing isn’t really his fault, just that he put the gears in motion for the tournament. Though the lead-up to it was maddening. Read more

Yeah, Shenron can be summoned after some combo requirements that other commenters have outlined are met. You can use that to do a number of different things. Read more

As I said above, I really like the Danganronpa and Phoenix Wright series. I have fond memories of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (though it’s been ages since I played it).  Read more

I’ve been watching Super, and just finished the Goku Black arc. The little moment between F. Trunks and Vegeta at the end was great. He does totally get owned by his hubris all the time, but Super goes a long way towards making him an arrogant-yet-sympathetic guy. Read more

You would like CEO, or Community Effort Orlando. It’s a fighting game tournament where the main stage is a wrestling ring, the finals players all get intros and music, there’s a royal rumble, and actual wrestlers show up to play. And the winner of each tournament gets a CEO belt. Read more

Jjonak was a monster last night, huge impact in just about every map. Read more
