Poor Bobbi Eden.

She's going to have her work cut out for her.

FrankDaTank5032d ago

i predict a scoreless tie until the last possible second. then i think the world will implode and those left behind will be millionaires.

Corepred45031d ago

yeah cause money will be worth SOOO much if that happened! /s

Playerz85031d ago (Edited 5031d ago )

Holy Crap, you were pretty much right. It was scoreless up to the 117th minute, and then Spain made the winning goal. With less than 3 minutes left, that's not alot of time left in the game. Go SPAIN!!! 1-0

I like this method. Why should we even play the games anymore? Let's just let AIs determine everything!

George Sears5031d ago

Too bad AIs couldn't predict how much the movie would suck.

aselah5032d ago

i know right!?! Who needs anything but AI. They'll be our new psychics!

aselah5032d ago

Haha, I like this better than the octopus, although I still don't get the whole Paul thing. Anyway, great fun this was!

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde305d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12305d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde305d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B304d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B305d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h305d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake305d ago (Edited 305d ago )

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar304d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

Ban it all you want, you can't stop people from thinking the way they think.

banger88363d ago

But what constitutes "Nazi ideology" in this day and age? Especially when anyone with an even remotely conservative opinion is called a Nazi.

"Banning symbols and stuff sounds like they’d just use another symbol, but in my opinion, these people are so fragile that one concession would be too much for them, and they’d find somewhere else.”

That's rich, calling these people fragile. When you're the ones going out of your way to cancel everyone and everything.
