The thing is Ash has grown CONSIDERABLY all be it slowly over the past 700 or so episodes. He’s actually a really good trainer by standards seen in the show, he just can’t move that final step as that would finish the show.

You’re not having a conversation about the topic though. You’re trying to shove your opinion down people’s throats.

Have you ever considered not being so pedantic? Or outright unwilling to see a fair point made by another human being, instead of never wanting to be wrong ever?

It’s possible for others to make a good Metal Gear game.

oh my god you’re pedantic.
I don’t care about working weddings. and yet I go every weekend to my job where I work weddings. do you see now what i was trying to communicate? god damn.

Forever? Maybe not, but we are only a year removed from reports like this:

Decision was abysmal. No reasonable observer could give the Russian the 1st round yet he somehow swept the judges cards.

There are going to be 2 3mil tournaments next year, in addition to TI, and over a dozen 100k+ tournaments. Plus, there are sponsorships and commercials with the players.

Valve funds a majority of the tournament through crowdfunding.

The fans. I got a compendium and probably spent $300 on upgrades to it so I could get free stuff. On top of that got an HTC vive so I could watch the matches in real time and VR. I know I'm not the most hard core valve/Dota2 fan either I saw a lot of people in VR watching too (you can see other viewers) plus all those…

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

As a fairly experienced Tekken player, I couldn’t agree more about the skill spectrum. When I play online, there’s players far better than I am, people of moderate skill, new players who are just learning the ropes, people who only use 10-hits, and people with screen names like XXXDank420XXX who are there just to fuck…

There’s something with how the trailer is edited, which just falls flat with me. I much preferred the original trailer and the Celebration footage.
