anyone else notice how Kazuya announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament in T8 was eerily similar to how Helena announced the 5th DOA tournament in DOA5?
State of Play yesterday was kinda meh, turns out that Sonic Generations remaster was real (with extra Shadowthe Hedgehog), and Stellar Blade wins the award for the most miscast voice acting in a video game!
The fact that Eliza's trademark dive kick got ctrl+c ctrl+v'ed into Reina's moveset probably means no vampire lady for Tekken 8 :,( oh well, still got Devil Jin and (Legal) Devil Kazuya
I do not know what NRS was thinking with the Khameleon Kameo, variation switching is cool, but having it attached to a countdown timer you have little control over makes using her wildly inconsistent, guess my search for Kitana's perfect kameo kontinues :/
no joke, the T8 opening song sounds like a track that belongs in a Sonic Adventure game lol
also glad Eddy is back, not glad that he's rocking the same haircut that every black male character in modern videogames apparently has to have by law but w/e
Been playing hella DOA2 lately trying to be a low tier hero, and woo boy, it is struggle when you lack basic things like damage, mix, viable launchers, a decent stun game, etc. No wonder why everyone defaults to Ryu, Ein, and Gen Fu (and the occasional Jann Lee and Ayane)
So to no one's surprise, the Spy X Family x SF6 collab is just avatar only costumes and a new theme for the Battlehub; like I get that casuals love World Tour mode and will eat this shit up np but the fact all of SF6's collabs have had 0 impact on the core fighting game part of the game is wild to me
Zack was a 9 framer in DOA2??? that's so wild, I always thought Kasumi was the only one but apparently not, of course this was before 9 framers were scary so he still sucks regardless, but still cool to know
oh snap, Tomb Raider I-III Remaster is coming out next month, fingers crossed this leads to more classic TR down the line, Reboot TR was all fine and dandy but a return to form would be much appreciated
In terms of disruptive fighting game mechanics
SF6 Drive parry > SC6 Reversal edge
At least you can punish mf's big time when you callout Reversal edge, you callout Drive parry in SF6 and whats your punish? Neutral throw, lame :/
Black Lagoon hasn't aired a new episode in over a decade, and yet in recent months; BAM! Taimanin Action guest appearances, BAM! PSO2 collaboration events, BAM! Mobile game outta nowhere
a S3 would be much appreciated, but i'll take what I can get
