    another day, another prominent member of the FGC getting banned for saying the N word on stream, to paraphrase Will Smith that is probably one word you wanna keep out your fucking mouth :/

    He had it coming, play stupid games win stupid prizes. This is a guy with history of other situations.

    I heard he wants to do content creation now similar to how Jwongg is doing and just play online matches, but Infiltration's reputation is pretty far deep in the ground at this point that he might as well just stop playing FGs all together.

    I don't think he needs to stop playing FGs, anyone should be able to enjoy FG's regardless of personal history , but as far as trying to make a career out of it, I dunno 'bout that,

    plus this is like strike 4 for Infil at this point, mans might be better off just laying low, shame cause he's mad talented but this constant fucking up in the public eye isn't making things ez

    man, Genshin has ruined me for gacha titles, got me thinking they all have things like guaranteed high rarity units and soft pity to make life ez for f2p's :/

    yeah, currently playing Echoes of Mana and it has no soft pity, pity does NOT carry between banners (and it expires), and hard pity is 200, so comming from Genshin that kind of threw me for loop

    but on the plus side echoes does have a 4* (Echoes 4* is equitable to Genshin 5*) ticket system, where if you use it you are guaranteed a 4* from a pool of base and event 4*,s, and it also has a system where if you reach hard pity you can manually select which high rarity unit you want, even there are multiple on the same banner, so that eases the pain a lil bit

    still think Genshin's is more f2p friendly

    Yeah, Genshin's pity system is pretty F2P freindly, even the weapon banner is ok since the rates are pretty good on it and now you can get the weapon that you want 100% with Epitomized Path (even though it was mainly made for whales). There aren't too many gacha games that want to milk you dry tbh.

    while I doubt Laura will be making it into SF6, if they include another dash happy vortex character then i'll give it a shot, or if they bring back Makoto, then i;ll definetly give it a shot lol

    I've never been on of those subs vs dubs guys, im fine with whatever, but when a new English dub has a freshly made meme written in its script, I can't help but roll my eyes :/

    playing DOA2 in 2022 has made me realize something about SE'ing, it's much more necessary in a game like DOA5 with it's high stun threshold and focus on stun manipulation
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    going back to a game like DOA2 with its low stun threshold and most players not even trying to manipulate stun (except for some very specific setups) and are content to just stun launch, the mechanic just doesn't seem as useful in that case, still don't mind it being there though
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Hot take; DOA boxart has never been good :/

    dam, I just looked at that Darkstalkers Chronicles box art, that shit is UGLY! the individual characters look fine but when you smash 'em all together with no coordination the shit just looks way too busy

    off the top of my head Tatsusunko vs Capcom all stars is one of the better examples of how to do the whole "here's a bunch of characters" boxart

    great color composition, clever character placement, it's just an overall good example of how to show off your characters without it looking too slapdash or haphazard

    A lot of FG boxart feels like it can be stuck in the 90's. My favourite FG boxart is probably still SCII's:

    Visually appealing, but not too simple.

    What is the dam point of learning strong characters in mainstream games when they're eventually gonna get nerfed cause the general audience are a bunch of whiny children who don't want to learn how to deal with it?

    Which is the reason why I'm rather going for characters that I find cool, that and I'm an online warrior who's mediocre at best in some of the games I play, tiers don't matter much at my skill level. If my character is high or top tier (either my main or my secondary is in every fighting game that I play for some reason) then for me that's like liking a character that comes with extra benefits but I can do without.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but for me personally, the lasting appeal is going through the journey playing the character you genuinely enjoy in spite of the changes.

    Sometime's a character's strength is their appeal, being able to go above and beyond the average cast member can be the very thing that's attractive about them, I know it's not as romantic as saying "oh i like this character because of their personality or aesthetic" but hey, different folks, different boats

    Maybe I've just been spoiled by the generous buffer windows of the later games, but I don't remember DOA2's tech up timing being so strict :/

    It's not that DOA2 has strict tech timings, it's that certain animations you simply cannot tech out of in that game.

    I know that lol, doa2 doesnt allow alot of tech up situations, but there are some soft knock downs where I only seem to successfully tech 60-70% of the time :/ don't know if its me or or some early doa weirdness

    really enjoying Echoes of Mana so far, but only time will tell if this is the type of F2P where you can coast along for free or you're heavily punished for not busting out the credit card every month :/

    Ppl talking bout how the new Saint's Row is gonna ruin the franchise, newsflash, franchise has been ruined arguably since the third game :/

    Honestly if anything Saints Row Reboot is at the very least making it about Saints vs Gangs again. Not prancing about with Super Powers like in 4, SR3 is still enjoyable at least SR4 and Gat out of Hell were awful to play.

    I agree, Saints Row 3 was enjoyable, heck I even found Saints Row 4 to be a fun time, it's barely a Saints Row game but it was still fun, but after all these years i have to admit that the major tonal shift from SR2 to SR3 did more harm than good, which is why I consider the 3rd game to be the beginning of the end
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    if this new game at the very least can be a fun mess ala SR3, then that'll enough for me,hopeing for a game that's even half as well written and compelling as SR2 is a pipe dream at this point so i;ll settle for some lol random humor in a massive open world which Saints Row has been peddling recently

    playing DOA 1 & 2 has reminded me that I really enjoyed playing Kasumi back in the day, b4 they transformed her into the bloated and overtuned menace she is now

    I have the same feelings towards Hayabusa.

    while I don't think modern Ryu is overtuned, yeah, him and Kasumi have definitely changed the most since their hayday, transforming into completely different characters, meanwhile alot of the OG cast have pretty much had the same gameplan and strategy since the beginning

    you know Elden Ring is a hit when even regular ass ppl, the one's who've NEVER expressed any interest in videogames, are casually saying stuff like "Man, Tree Sentinel sure is a difficult fight!"

    saw that Sonic Orgins trailer and i was like "oh shit? sonic prequel game?" but naw it's just a compilation of classic sonic games with a few updates and additions, which could be cool

    They won't be fumbling the ball the same way Nintendo did with the Mario 3D collection on Switch most probably. They're trying to keep the fans who like 2D Sonics happy as well with games like these, which is a pretty good move from them imo.

    That apex player who was raging at SFV during the AT&T tournament, while it was entertaining it was also a reminder, that for all the dumbing down and gap closing devs try to implement, fighting games are still hard af for regular ass people

    and even then it might not be guaranteed that they'll be sticking around: 1. Most of these players are going to stick to online for a long time before deciding whether they want to go to an offline tournament or not (if they get to that point), so good netcode is pretty much mandatory, it did help out Strive for example.

    2. It can be helpful to be part of a group or have training partners that are around their skill level. This way both players can learn from the games they're playing against one another and get some dubs while they're at it, which is also important imo to keep a player going. 3. Make the game feel good to play and make the characters unique and fun

    so that new payers can have a reason to get better with x character. This is the reason why I really like SCVI and it might be the other reason why Strive probably did so well otside of rollback, despite the latter being dumbed down from Xrd, the characters still manage to feel pretty unique while the gameplay is still deep even if the game was made to be more casual friendly.

    Storywise, Ayane is supposed to be the head of the Hajinmon Sect, but for 3 games now she just comes off as Hayate's lackey and nothing more
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    I mean, technically that's what the Hajinmon ninjas were, supports to the Tenjimon, but even Genra looked like he was running shit, for what little we saw of him. Ayane has never really given that impression and (sadly) may never get the chance to :,(

    or maybe she's just real bad at delegating lol

    I'm gonna go on a limb and assume the Hajinmon sect was wiped out by Genra when he acted on his betrayal, leaving Ayane as the only member.

    going back to a 3 point hold system is what trips me up the most when going back to DOA2/3, i'll see these slow ass mid kicks coming my way and there I am inputting a hold that doesn't even exist lol

    Its toggleable in Hardcore? Lol I didn't know that, im playing the American vanilla dreamcast version and the Japanese LE version, you can toggle between arcade or home consoles hold inputs but sadly no option for 4 point :/

    Dam this just makes me want to play hard-core, classic DOA with 4 point holds sounds like a dream
