i didn't even really watch evo this year other than UNIST because i was mad that they let Infiltration back in

I watched the EVO Japan SFV tournament (on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/user/evo2kvids/videos ). The new balance patch has made a lot of characters viable. A character I had written off ended up winning. It's made the game the most interesting it's been since Menat and Abigail came out.

A shame that the (real life) tournament players sometimes have a ton of arrogance and all this trash talking and screwing with each others heads is expected. Probably a lot of players who could thrive if it wasn't like this.

It's always there to some extent, but in my experience I've felt far more positivity and kinship in the FGC than in most gaming cultures. There will always be a few who take competition to the Kobe psychopath level though...

Been playing some Fantasy Strike lately, as it went Free-to-Play recently. Gives you all the characters, practice and online modes; you pay $20 if you want Arcade Mode and the ability to match with friends. It's pretty solid, I like that it's very distilled and simplified. (Maybe too simplified for an old head like me) Definitely fun to see their interpretations of existing FG characters, like Geiger/Guile, Rook/Zangief, Setsuki/Ibuki, etc.
It also does a lot of things right I wish all fighting games these days would incorporate: cross-platform play (PC/PS4/Switch), rollback netcode, and great tutorial videos explaining exactly how each character is basically supposed to work. Worth a peek for anyone who likes the genre, especially if you find modern games to be overwhelming with the inputs.

In this little twitter thread here, I'm going to show some appreciation to Virtua Fighter's amazing throw animations. Starting with Masato Tanaka's Diamond Dust. I especially love the way the opponent animates standing back up and staggers around a bit before falling down. pic.twitter.com/YXgxLHmp0g— Manny Biggz (@Mannyfcknking) December 7, 2020

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:55 (three years ago) link
I've heard that SNK hated Capcom because Capcom's CvS games were hits and SNK's SvC games bombed, and the agreement between the companies was that they only profited off their own games. SNK was bought by a Chinese mobile game company in 2015 so I don't know if that still applies.

Capcom finally made Ryu good in SFV. Probably too good to stay that way, but it'll be fun while it lasts. They also nerfed Guile to the ground. They must really want Daigo Umehara to go back to being a Ryu main.

Thank you - been vaguely wanting to try GG and that is the right price.
I am a middle aged man with sluggish reactions whose last fighting game love was SNES SFII in the mid-90s & I'd sort of resigned myself to playing Civ, Xcom, a bit of low-intensity Kojima and failing at the Souls series. So I am frankly surprised that I have developed a sudden intense passion for SFV - training, training, then going online, getting the shit kicked out of me repeatedly (& haha watching replays and thinking 'What can I learn from this loss?', like I am some warrior philosopher) but getting immensely high from any win I can scrape off an incompetent, naive leaper.

I think it's just really poorly managed business and an unplayably buggy game that very few people got to play. Maybe they switched to a beat-em-up because it seemed simpler?

ah! impressed that they got a real gig off that. so this might be better than all the other crappy Smash clones.

yeah this is definitely aimed at people who were born in the 90s, the character choices are mostly from the same era as melee

basic gameplay guidehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXiOWSKPDG8
The Clutch button from Slap City is replaced by a Strafe button that keeps you faced the same way. I like how the attacks have a rock-paper-scissors system where each pair has a different effect on the loser.

I wonder what will end up being the dominant platform for this game, if it succeeds. Switch, out of Smash loyalty? The previous or current generation of Xbox or PS5? PC due to current FGC trends?
― Nhex, Thursday, 16 September 2021 00:52 (two years ago) link
Also if we'll just get used to the lack of voice acting
― Nhex, Thursday, 16 September 2021 00:58 (two years ago) link
The devs said the Switch version will only have rollback netcode during 1-on-1 battles, and some of the other versions will have it during the other modes. So the Switch version might not be the most popular.
The Power Rangers game, Battle for the Grid, got voice acting after its initial release so there's still a remote possibility for it in this game.

Smack Studio - This one is interesting. Came out yesterday, main sell is that it's a Smash clone that can somehow auto-generate 3D fighters out of 2D sprite art.
