See, I knew you had amazing taste. If Miura grimdarks Schierke into an awful death I swear no idol will be left unturned.
It's okay since they're never going to get off the boat anyway.
What difference would it make, don't only the same dozen people post in these threads? I'm serious no kappa
It feels like that because some have bigger personalities than others. We've gotten some new people here and there.

That magic series was introduced in Vampire Savior and was in the versus series as well. (at least until MvC2 when you had to hit L twice to get to M strength attacks)

man how could the magic series be introduced in savior wasnt that in like 1997? didnt hunter/the first one/CoTA have it as well? now you got me wondering what the first game to have normals cancellable into other normals is.

It doesn't offer a direct pro, aside from laxer moderation. But Shouta barely moderates this thread as it is, so *shrug*

And you could just direct people to the OP if you're worried about someone not reading changes, like other active threads do in the "graveyard." You could stil edit the OP to have player spotlights each week. You could still do all the stuff you want. Going into Community wouldn't mean you lose everything.
I wouldn't say that's a pro. If anything, it will open more room for stupid FGC drama talk that have nothing to with fighting games.

I have a question for Watson if you're still around but I'm not sure if you're the right person to ask. Is there any way I'm ever going to be able to see Bang The Machine or if you feel bored can you give us a synopsis? Been wanting to see that for ages.

You act like that isn't what primarily drives this thread a decent amount of the time.

As neat of an idea Bang The Machine is, it's honestly not a fantastic watch due to the circumstances around it. With tons of lost footage it really does feel incomplete. I had a fun time watching it the first EVO I was at, but honestly not seeing it isn't a major loss.

No disrespect meant to the creators, of course, but honestly outside of watching it in a large group of enthusiasts at no additional charge, I can't see it being a good watching experience.

Is Chainsaw Incident that really bad fighting game that uses actual people as models in this day and age?

nah chainsaw incident is the one with the schlock horror movie + cartoon theme that's not skullgirls

it will probably be bad

you're thinking of death cargo, which has a sequel coming sometime eventually and somehow actually existed as a game despite all evidence suggesting otherwise

Nah. That's a different game by some Italian company that had a hard time actually sending the game to people and were clearly very unprofessional about the situation.

Isn't it still too early to put Tekken x Street Fighter there? Even the new KoF would make more sense since we at least know that game is in full development.

I had to google this game, and it's website looks like the shadiest thing ever.

Anyways, I added the release schedule into OP below the spotlight, let me know if anything else needs to be added/changed.

its really bad and im laughing at the idea of "unlimited DLC"

Nah. That's a different game by some Italian company that had a hard time actually sending the game to people and were clearly very unprofessional about the situation.

I remember that!

i went to the website, is that dante after he tries meth? or is it hipster dante thats poorly misunderstood by society?
 
My least favourite mechanic has to be combo breakers. I don't like the effect they have on match flow and how they only really exist to compensate for problems caused by other mechanics (such as long combos or hitstun), while also introducing new problems in the process.

Can you expand on "introducing new problems in the process"? I'm not sure exactly what you mean there.

In addition to ARC REVO, there's D-1 ULTIMATE CLIMAX, with Dengeki Bunko FIGHITNG CLIMAX (on Saturday at 10:00 JST) and Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Arcade (on Sunday at 15:30 JST). That and ARC REVO are part of a mega-event, JAPAN GAMER'S LIVE.

Also on Saturday at 9:00 JST is the Osaka qualifier for the JP USFIV national tourney, the Isshun Sengeki Cup. That will be on TAITO's Ustream channel. The finals will be on October 11.

Wow, it's interesting that all of these games are being folded into a big mega-event. Hopefully stuff like this continues so we can keep getting these nice qualifier tournaments in all of these different regions!

Also looking forward to the Issun Sengeki cup. I saw a lot of big names in the Osaka player list. :D

I'd love if I was allowed to waste my XF in UMVC3 to get out of a combo, would make a lot of the broken stuff like infinities and TODs more bearable. It would make Morri-Doom way more broken though at expense of no XF Vergile and people will be able to raw tag without the new character losing +50% health.

yeah bbcp does this and it works pretty wonderfully. you can burst at the expense of using overdrive and therefore trade potential offensive advantage/damage to get out of a combo/nasty mixup situation. its a very important resource and the it could be well into the second round or so that you would regain your burst/overdrive if you were to do it early .

no idea if this kind of thing would work in marvel, although xf is obviously an incredibly important resource so i think its a cool idea to consider.

They can screw up risk/reward a lot of the time. Like if I can just combobreak, what's stopping me from mashing DP all the time because nobody's going to punish it, I'll just combobreak their punisher. Advantage and disadvantage don't mean anything if breakers are over powered. I generally only like combo breakers if they really limit access. MK9 hands them out a bit too often imo and I don't like the idea of combo/counter breakers in KI. Moves are designed around how safe or punishable they are and it feels kinda lazy to not have to bother balancing any of that because the game is about countering any move at any time.

Why does it seem like people are talking about Persona like it's coming out tomorrow when its release date is still more than a month away?

That is fair enough. I guess I draw a pretty big distinction between combo breakers and bursts but generally agree with your thoughts.

I wonder how marvel would go if you could use it up as a burst, but in return every character had access to their own xfactor.

Where are people planning on ordering from? JPN PSN?

It's too late to preorder from JP PSN, closed yesterday. You can still load up your account with points and DL it day one. The thing to remember about JP PSN is the JP version is doing the free DLC differently, so be aware of that. Other than that play-asia and amiami and other places have it.

It was confirmed region free today :>
