    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

    You guys actually leave 3 point holds on in DOA2HC? Ew.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    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

    Been playing alot of Phantom Breaker and it kills me how everyone you meet online is either below rank 5 with a 10-20% winrate or they're above rank 20 above with a 80-90% winrate, there is no inbetween lol

    dawg, why the new KH footage look exactly like that first FFXV gameplay reveal?

    It's probably because Nomura. Yozora in KH3 as a prime example.

    Also the guy does have his own team along with the main team so if you see some familiar stuff you'll probably know why.

    Anyways, because of his disappointment for how FFXV turned out and how it didn't originally fulfill the true product of the game and his vision, he was pretty hurt about it in interviews. So to cope for it, he wanted to provide some of those elements to current games. KH3 and so on. The guy legit felt FFXV to be his greatest masterpiece.

    So to hear someone say KH4 feeling like it's FFXV is actually not at all surprising lol.

    how long does it take for you to settle on a main when you play a new fighting game? a day? a week? couple months? a year? even longer? I'm curious

    That would take an entire essay for me to answer, and there are so many nuances to it that it can't be oversimplified.


    All I can tell you is that maining Christie was like marrying the closest thing to an ideal woman for me.

    In my mind? A couple of seconds. To truly settle on a character and 100% consider him/her my main? 1-2 weeks. For most games that are sequels I just have to see if it feels satisfying enough for me to play them, for example, in the first couple of days of me playing Tekken 7 I thought about making a switch from Hwoarang to Devil Jin because he wasn't as fun as his Tag 2 counterpart.

    After playing more with him, however, I decided to stick with the character that I've been maining since Tekken 4 (my first Tekken). Once I get Strive I might switch from I-no to Jack-O/Aria but first I'll have to see if the latter's gameplay is satisfying enough for me to main her. For new games its kinda the same, except the character I'm going to play first is the one that I might like the most out of all of them.

    yeah, between this and Tencent slowly but surely acquiring the big names in the business, the video game landscape is gonna get pretty interesting the next couple of years, whether that's for better or for worse has yet to be seen

    That's been the case for a long time now... and I think Tencent also still has a stake in them. Great governments to be getting our revenue in turn for kickass fighting games.... -_-' Putin might as well put a stake in them too o_O

    When you've spent nearly 2 decades explaining why two 500-year old vampire lolis are the most unhinged and deadliest force known in the history of bullet hell shooters to a person who only plays R-Type games, that ain't shit, my guy.

    We might not get a male character after Ayato up until the Sumeru patch, since next patch's going to be Yelan with 4-star Kuki Shinobu (either phase 1 or 2 for the latter), then there are rumors about 2.8 being a full rerun patch. Tbh, the majority of the playable characters are going to be female around the end of the game, pretty sure that the other 5 archons are all females as well.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    that would be so lame if all the other archons were waifus, but that mostly likely will be the case

    we already know the Sumeru and Sneznaya archons are waifus, which just leaves us with Fontain and Natlan, which Dainslief has talked about he's refered to both of them as "she", so i guess it's waifu archon impact for the next 5 years lol
    ChaolanLegacy
    ChaolanLegacy
    The Natlan archon's name is Murata, so she'll most likely end up looking like an archon version of Murata Himeko from Honkai, as for the hydro archon, there's a chance that a specific character in Honkai can become an "archon" relatively soon (there are a few things water related to her ever since her first battlesuit came out), then her Genshin version has a high chance of being the hydro archon.

    imagine complaining about 5pp into throw being "fake" and "online only" when your ass is out here doing 6p into throw on neutral hit, counter hit and block...the nerve of some ppl -_-

    My little brother said the same damn thing, bomb and now I'm convinced it's the truth. Elden Ring is just such a fantastic game that people are going to have to go back to the drawing board if they want to make a game as good and as successful as Elden Ring. I didn't bother with the Soul type games other than Nioh and now I'm debating whether or not I play past Soul games.

    could be a side effect of being in a post Elden Ring world, who knows lol, but I do remember that the OG Breath of the Wild suffered from multiple delays as well, and look how that turned out, ended up being one of the best Zelda games (maybe even one the best open world games) ever, so if that extra time in the oven is what's needed for greatness then shoo, they can take all the time they need
    Camel with 2 thumbs

    plus there's too many games comming out anyway, so this is a much welcome delay lol

    Phatom Breaker is one of the few games i've played in recent memory that REALLY punishes you for using normal block, not only is the chip damage mad high, not only does your guard gauge fill up quickly, but it seems like everything outside of DP's and supers are safe if blocked normally
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    I'm guessing this is to counter balance the fact that you can just block by returning the stick to neutral (which makes dealing with cross up insultingly easy), so at the cost of making blocking trivial they also made it not something you want to rely on

    I like it, it forces you to be active on defense and use the plethora of universal defensive techniques (parry, reflection, protection, guardpoints, etc)
