And got another tierlist, this one from Debagame, probably best Vaseraga player in the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-dJ... The consensus seems pretty clear on who the top 5 and bottom 5 characters are in this game. Most players I've seen are rating the new character, Galleon, pretty low. #GBVSR

Two GBVSR tierlists based on the new patch. First one from Shosan(best Zeta player in the world), second from Vermillion(top NA 2B player). Original tweets Shosan: x.com/sinon7930/st... Vermillion: x.com/ST_Vermillio... #GBVSR

I don't know how I feel about having to learn 4 characters before being able to adequately play the game, but regardless, I'm very interested in the new Marvel.

GBVSR deluxe edition 61% off sale ends in like 20 minutes. The regular version that doesn't include season 1 DLC, will still be on sale for longer but the deluxe edition is much better value. You're basically paying $10 more for all of season 1 DLC and that DLC costs much more by itself. #GBVSR

I can't stress how problematic this new ranked balance patch is in GBVSR. It was already easy enough to get master rank in the previous patch but *now* it's so easy that it no longer means anything to have that rank. I don't understand what Cygames was trying to achieve with this change.

COTW top 16 at Headstomper will be starting in about 45 minutes here: www.twitch.tv/headstompertv2 Bracket: www.start.gg/tournament/h... #FGC

There is a big Japanese Strive 5on5 tournament going on now. It's in the top 8. www.twitch.tv/yuzukidesu #GGST

Battle Arena Melbourne fighting game tournament has started. Schedule with the streams is here: www.couchwarriors.org/bam-schedule/ COTW and SF6 are stacked as both are EWC qualifiers. Strive and Granblue are both Gold+ AWT ranking events. #FGC

There was a Japanese online GBVSR tournament yesterday, featuring a lot of the top players, such as Sanchi, Shark Movie, Laphroaig, ronde and more. The vod is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqSC... #GBVSR

With my GBVSR main Versusia nerfed now, I will probably be playing Galleon and Ferry. The Nier buffs look good but they come with a possibly big nerf to her most important special move, H ominous turn. They still didn't give her raging strike while death is out (or recharging), not sure why.

I really don't like what they did to Versusia in the GBVSR patch. Basically when she came out, most people were saying she wasn't that good. I was one of the few people actually making the argument that she was top 10. Then a patch came out, nerfed the top tiers, didn't buff Versusia. (continued)

New GBVSR balance patch notes are out and once again, Cygames shows they don't really know how to balance. The main issue is taking options away from the players and doing a lot of compounding nerfs that only serve to make a top tier into a bottom tier. rising.granbluefantasy.jp/en/news/deta...

Something I've been struggling with for years now...would you rather grind one fighting game and get really good at it, or grind many fighting games to be "just good" at all of them? #FGC

What a dominant display from GO1 in COTW...and he did that while switching back and forth from SF6 which is going on at the same time.

It's the final day of Combo Breaker. Starts in 10 minutes, schedule and brackets are here: www.start.gg/tournament/c... #FGC

Please more Justin Wong on commentary at Combo Breaker. He does a really good job of breaking things down from the perspective of the players.

Combobreaker has started. Please refer to Amedeo's schedule for the streams.

I think fighting game tournaments are going to be better than ever this year. For the last few years or so, there were very few top international players traveling because it just wasn't worth it for them. Now with EWC qualifiers and more CPT events, we are seeing them. Combobreaker will be stacked.

This was such a disgraceful Leafs performance. No sense of urgency, no spirit. I don't know if I can even blame Woll too much.
