    this whole time playing MK1 I thought Kitana sucked, turns out that's not the case at all; poor girl just doesn't have any kameos that synergize with her kit, fingers crossed she gets at least one perfect kameo down the line lest we Kitana players spend the next 4 years playing unoptimal teams :/

    Make note of it on TwitterX to the devs.

    sadly NRS is not in the business of buffs, they mostly nerf whoever the normies complain and balance by bringing the power ceiling down :/

    MK1 owners on Switch can now download a 30 GB patch that is supposed to fix the graphical and performance issues of the game, but unless that patch comes with an actual miracle that 30 gigs ain't gonna fix shit :/

    Despite having all the tactical depth of a pachinko machine, DOA4 really is the prettiest looking DOA game, back when the franchise still had color in it's cheeks and a decent lighting engine

    DOA4 is the best overall DOA game. It's an incredible shame that Itagaki did everything in his power to flush its balance down the toilet.

    ugh, DOA4 balancing, while I do think it is true to the Itagaki vision (i.e Ninjas rule, everyone else drools) it certainly did more harm than good

    If only there was a way to access the X05 build to see firsthand how DOA4 could've played, had Itagaki not insisted on meddling with the gameplay balance so aggressively.

    Decided to check out the Ruroni Kenshin anime reboot with much trepidation, but turns out its largely a scene for scence adaptation of the original show but with faster pacing and a higher budget, which is fine I guess :/

    Despite my qualms with the reboot, still want this show to succeed, so we can FINNALY see the final arc of the manga in anime form (we've gotten ovas and movies but they're super condensed and leave out alot)

    I'm enjoying it so far. It's much closer to the manga than the original (though the original was great as well).

    On the other hand, I am worried that the series takes on this huge cocaine of making everything extremely lighthearted yet again to appease a crowd that isn't big enough to carry the series for what it is and the quality style downgrades yet again (which was my main issue with Super despite it still being relatively good).

    Not just artistic quality, but atmospheric quality as well. The Frieza Saga for example was pretty adventurous traveling to another planet, but it carried that ominous suspense in the air that there's this great evil and you are going through encounters to reach it. The Goku Black Saga tried to do something like it but failed flat because the lighthearted quality just doesn't mesh well with it.

    I also enjoy OG DragonBall, but this looks like its trying to appeal to OG, Z, GT, and Super fans simultaneously, so my biggest fear is that it'll spread itself too thin and just be bland across the board, but u make a good point, with a depowered goku and vegeta maybe some other characters will FINALLY get some shine

    In DOA2 we're led to believe that Ayane is the one who killed Helena's mother, DOA4 reveals the truth but even b4 that it made 0 sense for Ayane to be the killer 'cause Helen's mom died by sniper rifle, tf kind of ninja is killing ppl in the doaverse with a sniper rifle?

    Between Lies of P and Elden Ring, I think I might be done with Souls games, it's been a fun 10+ years on the Fromsoft train but there are only so many times you can enjoy re-skinned Dark Souls

    It's a very tired genre. I enjoyed Code Vein and the Nioh games, but got tired of FromSoftware-like games after Demon's Souls. The difficulty is basically an excuse for tedious grinding. It was a cute novelty at first, but loses its appeal with each given game. At least Armoured Core 6 is something different.

    Code Vein and Sekiro were the last soulslikes that did something for me, everything after that I just makes me sigh when I hit the inevitable bs difficulty wall, but like u said thank goodness AC6 isn't just Dark Souls but robots, not that AC was ever that but its nice to see Fromsoft do something else

    I just downloaded Lies of P from gamepass. Seems decent so far, but still grinding Starfield.

    dude, we're only 4 days into October and I'm already seeing mf's in costume roaming the streets at night; I understand getting a jump on the Halloween season but this is ridiculous

    welp, no rollback update for Samsho 2019 for the time being (it was supposed to drop last month), SNK says the delay is for quality reasons, and I guess that's fair, no one cares to play a game with crappy rollback

    I get that implementing rollback for the first time is hard (especially retrofitting), but it really shouldn't be taking this long unless they're fumbling the execution.

    Seems that ArcSys is the only company who can successfully rollbackify their older fighting games (well, with the exception of DBZF but that might be because of issues arising between them and Bamco or that they might just end up giving DBZF the Rising treatment) out of all of these companies. Anyhow, the chances of us getting a new Samsho soon is slim due to 15 getting dlc and Garou being in the works.

    So for now we can just hope that implementing rollback into Samsho will go as smoothly as possible from now on for SNK.

    woot woot, finally got my hands on MK1, time to see if it lives up to the hype, especially since I've yet to hear major complaints about the game (beside the P1 advantage bug and having to unlock half the roster)

    so it's only 4 kharters that aren't unlocked from the start? ppl made it sound like it was alot more, I also heard some kameos also require cleariing single player kontent to unlock so that also sound annoying but w/e, do it once and i'll never think about it again

    Yeah, Kameos like OG Scorpion and Sub-Zero are unlockables in Invasion Mode. But it's only 21 characters and about 10 Kameos as the default.

    Most of the Kast is playable from start. It's the Kameo's that need to be unlocked (which is fairly easy). The only gripes I have is online (not the netcode itself, netcode is good). Online modes/support is not up to par in comparison to SFVI or Tekken. No online training, no connection type filter, no open lobbies(well there's KOTH...), no multi match lobbies. Offline modes are fun as hell.

    Lucky star is back in serialization, FLCL is getting another sequel, Haruhi Suzumiya is getting new light novels and possible anime adaptation, dunno why all the hot anime from early 2000's are making a comeback, but screw it im down for it

    And while we're at it, how about a Black Lagoon season 4? Come on anime industry, make it happen

    is it just me or does it feel like you need 13 face buttons and 12 fingers to play SF6 optimally with classic controls? now it makes sense why all the old players are switching to hitbox, ain't no way you can play this shit on a standard arcade stick!
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    the fact that (so far) all the SF6 collabs are just costumes/avatars for it's World Tour mode is weaksauce, like how the hell are you gonna have SF6 x Baki and not have Yuujirou Hanma as a playable character in your fighting game? talk about missed opportunity

    Even the Nioh X Lies of P is weaksauce. Two weapons?? not even a boss? a cameo apperance? no secret bosses?

    While i'm glad crossovers will become a thing forever when it's chosen, i'm going to start going against it if they provide chump change inclusions lol.

    I mean I get it, not every crossover is gonna be a major addition to gameplay (hell DOA5 had a jabillion crossovers, and yet only like 4-5 of them resulted in characters and stages) , but I will be annoyed if it continues like this, and for SF6 that could very well be the case given how Capcom has treated crossovers in SF before (with the sole exception being SF X Tekken)

    Well, would you have wanted them to add in Guilty Gear or Blazblue stages too? Although, I'd admit people would go nuts if they saw DOA characters in BBTag, even if that game was gonna flop initially.

    T8 is shaping up nicely, still not a fan of the chip damage and recoverable health, but being able to see more of the heat mechanics makes the game stand out and look more like a proper Tekken sequel as opposed to a T7 update

    dam, MK1 might be the game that makes me shell out for a current gen system :/

    With how SF6 operates on my pretty strong gaming laptop, I'm considering the idea myself. The added advantages with that are that once you have the system you can just get the game and it'll operate smoothly most likely, plus until crossplay is implemented in any new fighting game you'll most likely be finding more opponents on console than on PC.

    my gaming laptop can actually run SF6 smoothly, but I do have to tank the graphics to do so, MK1 has similar PC requirements so while I can run MK1 on it, part of me would rather just grab a machine that can run it decently at a reasonable price, since upgrading to a computer that can play all this current gen stuff would cost almost 4 times the price of a modern console

    Nintendo direct was fire, new Mario vs Donkey Kong, 1000 year door remaster/remake, even that Princess Peach game looked interesting, not a bad time to be a Switch owner
