mods are surreal now. like people can go 'this fighting game is pretty good but it could use this' and then like two days later they modded it in. actual color edit for new melty blood. voice lines in nick all-star. iori in guilty gear strive
koichi sugiyama died?
hah. y'know, i remember he found the idea of LGBT folk dying hilarious, so it's pretty funny a bunch of us outlived him as of tonight
the funny thing about mortal kombat repeatedly trying to get as gruesome as possible with its finishing moves is that it'll never achieve the stylishness of how samurai shodown did them
i see people bring up tekken 3 king's alt outfit a lot for good reason, but i feel like a lot of people forgot about heihachi's alt outfit from the same game
@ninjinister
the host of the online sf6 lobby hub
i didn't even think of coming up with a host for a fighting game lobby, but i guess you totally could
@Shintonty
for a second i thought you meant 'wheezing and hacking' like he wrote this because he had a cold at the time, which also seems like a very araki thing to do
"testament is the first ever fighting game character to be considered non-binary" is actually not very accurate, off the top of my head yumeji kurokouchi is one of the earliest ones i know of. they're most likely not the first either though
the thing about the 'tipsy bartender' guy is that this shot where stuff is just spraying everywhere alongside a billion other things pouring into the sink as he screams is worthy of a painting
fgc community members will study every frame of their character's basics but never learn to stop using the 'inexplicably defend their transphobic buddies' move
i will be eternally grateful that one of the best things to happen in movies as of recent is the man who played this character immediately launching into a quality film directing career
fascinated by this rivals of aether workshop character that is just a dude that put himself in the game, and has a projectile where he tosses a gigantic fridge while saying 'filipino food.' in the most deadpan way possible
the thing is, if you're worried about not being able to bring your characters to life because you're not very good at drawing, remember that a guy drawn like this was a major character in a long-running TV show
@discord
can you just be a normal chat program because that tends to go over better than weird crypto/AI garbage getting shoved into it without our consent
so during a quick break, it's come to our attention that one of the dumb nickelodeon flash fighting games has a handful of characters that ACTUALLY just mimic idle stances from kof13. i'll post them later
chappelle bringing up the dipshit that brought this site on stage so that thousands of people can loudly boo him and then visibly get upset they're booing him is the first funny thing he's done in at least a decade
all i gotta say about this skullgirls 'censoring' outrage is that i find it really funny that, in a mod that's supposedly anti-censorship, they censored a background cameo
sonicfox just has this magical skill for getting under dorks' skin
@photomatt
reinstating the trans lady you banned and then stalked offsite/violated privacy laws over would be a good start. you strike me as too typically spiteful for that though
only just found out about WCW mayhem's cheat to change some of the characters to the developers (and their kids??)
there's no names attached to them so i wouldn't be able to do much here, but man. what a weird thing
@clef_13_
@AerospaceCowboy
i mean if internet stereotypes lead you to thinking it's normal to be scared shitless whenever somebody with dyed hair is walking around in public, you do you lol
the unreleased arcade game Force Five apparently FINALLY got dumped so i'm able to get a better look at some of these designs
Jingi Storm was basically this game but with a fanservice gimmick and lackluster reskins of the cast
if you wanna know the exact energy 90's western fighting games had, bloodstorm had a guy who was made out of blood, had a looping blood effect animation for a head, and his name was Blood
it still tickles me that harada had to say ken mishima from ehrgeiz isn't related to the tekken mishimas at all, even though he looks like this and does a lot of the same moves
being transphobic towards final fight poison sadly isn't new, but to do that in 2023 is like...her being trans wasn't a recent development, where were you at this whole time
"i got my just rewards, i waited for him in the parking lot afterwards. then i took his clubs. who's the real winner in that situation, you want a trophy or golf clubs?"
the thing about trying to play every fighting game ever is seeing people say the sf6 soundtrack is the worst in the genre and you just know they never suffered through the music master's fury screeches at you
@bendreyfuss
i cannot imagine one of my main hobbies in life being launching into 50-post tirades that end up severely embarrassing myself every other month and thinking that's a good use of my time. i suggest you find something else to do
might be covid brain but playing jojo asbr and how the movelists are almost entirely just references to the source material made me daydream a fighting game starring a bunch of tv/cartoon/movie characters designed the same way
this is still the best team in kof 2000 because no part of this team really makes any sense together but it's an amazing team anyway. shingo is especially 'just there'
@VerySpicyJoe
i seriously thought back to your totally legit sf6 leak and was like 'son of a bitch, they really did add foreshadowing to the giant juri plot'
you ever think about how two of the coolest fighting game characters ever made are locked away in an unreleased game (force five) which reskinned both these two and the whole cast to be way lamer (jingi storm)
anyway saw somebody complain on the seth trailer saying "what is this, the transgender era?"
yeah, it is. get outta here ya weakling, we're taking over
