It was bloody pathetic of how it turned out in the end. Obviously Nerd Josh is going to win the cash in the end unless the last three contestants rest up and revamped their strategies, but that's hard likely since Nerd Josh is a veteran tournament player.
Overall I am quite disappointed with the show despite having some of the key members of the fighting game community collective contributions in devising the show's format. First of all, I think Team Tekken has been wrongly put together, mainly due to the team's captain, Aris. Aris does good a job in what he does best, causing mischief and producing a few good laughs, but he is incompetent in teaching a game that is practically foreign to him. Ryan Hart would have been a better choice since he's a rounded SF player and he has a strong history in the fighting game community due to exceptional skills in various fighting games, including Tekken. Obviously Aris was chosen solely to invoke drama between the cast but at the cost of Team Tekken's proper training.
Secondly, having a live stream that didn't focus on the teams but mainly the lackluster and boring training sessions was a huge mistake. The majority of the segments leading up to the challenge of the day was practically boring and it could have been better if they had engaging segments to keep the viewers engaged. The stream should have been more dynamic by focusing on the player's personalities and the masterminds behind the show instead cameras fixated on monitors. The prerecorded approach is the best choice for this type of program format instead of a live stream.
Lastly, my biggest grip is Capcom and how they had dealt with the issues that gave the fight game community negative publicity. They should have taken care of the matter in a hasty fashion instead of having it escalated to promote there show. Capcom, marketed this towards the casual market with many gaming mechanics to bridge the gap between the casual player and the intermediate player. However, the show failed to portray that theory since by the end of the day Street Fighter players grasped the game quicker than Tekken players - players with no Street Fighter experience.
Whoever came up with 30 minute endurance challenge should be shot because that was the worst segment of the entire show...according to the FGC, stay free Capcom.
Hi guys, the name is akumous -- a gamer -- and this is my blog it is about my one of many passions such as video games. Basically this is centrally my gamer's blog where I will not post about videogames but other geeky material such as anime, comic book films, hardware, and I will occasionally vent about the nonsense that antagonize me about the gaming industry. Although this blog is a work in progress...it is my tool for escapism and fun. Thanks in advance for following my page.
