Because I would never have noticed this but my girlfriend just pointed out to me that Peacock sounds an awful lot like Haruko from FLCL. I know Cerebella is also Noel from Blazblue and a bunch of other stuff so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same actress. Sade fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 27, 2011 |

Zaa Boogie posted:Nope. Always been a pretzel. Even when he showed up in CvS. Actually, R That game also used a "simple" 360 motion for super throws like Geese's and Yamazaki's, which are regular special motions in other games. It was kinda funny to see how that carried over into the NGPC SvC, where you had Geese's 360 super throw, Rashomon, side-by-side with Zangief's Final Atomic Buster still using a 720. Speaking of the NGPC, I managed to get my hands on one recently, and its directional joystick stub button bpractically had sex with my thumb from how awesome it felt - has no company released a joypad that uses that design? The closest I've found was this, based on a comment here - has anyone tried that? Joypad-wise, a SRK.com thread mentions the Hori Commander 3 Pro iirc. I wonder which of the 2 would work out the best (I'm not really a joystick guy, and the cost of importing a good one sounds too much for the sake of experimentation).

Zaa Boogie posted:Huh. I hadn't played Real Bout in forever. So that's the only game it was different, huh? AFAIK yep, all others go for the pretzel. I rather liked RB2's take on controls - it followed some of the things previous RB games did to make the games easier to get into (A->B->C combos for everyone), but you still had classic motions. But where it could be helpful without dumbing down controls completely, they took a precise approch on what compleity factors to trim: regular supers (low life or full power bar, iirc) all used 2 buttons to be activated, but the Potential powers (low life _and_ full power bar) only used one, since given the circumstances you'd be unlikely to get another shot at them - you got a little leniency, but still had to make sure you landed that thing, and some of the supers weren't exactly typical (I never really researched much on some like Duck King's, for example, which involved a little dance and probably special properties). This is likely a tainted opinion from me not being much of a grappler player, but 360s as supers just seemed more reasonable for me, as a motion like that makes it easy to fail it spectacularly and getting completely wrecked trying it. This brings to mind this book that was released a few years ago on the history of Street Fighter, which sort of helped to put things in perspective for me. IIRC, it mentioned how back when SF1 (now there's a game with an execution barrier...) was being developed, shooters were all the rage, and special moves were developed as a sort of equivalent to bombs in the shooters - in the latter, the bombs were very powerful moves, but they were limited by giving the player only a discrete amount of them during a level, with the occasional chance at restocking, and since the concept didn't translate as well to fighting (ammo doesn't really apply by default), they use special (then secret) motions to trigger them, making them as hard as they were powerful. That was sort of fine when you only have one character and about 3 motions/moves that are fairly different, but with more characters there's a lot more room for variation, and I'd say by the time SF2 came around, Zangief certainly had the biggest (damage!), hardest (get really close without getting smacked _and_ perform a motion that'll likely cause you to jump if you miss) "bomb" of the bunch, such that most of his game seemed to revolve around landing it (and to a certain point, avoiding his opponents' major ones like projectiles). Art of Fighting later came up with power bars and supers to add another couple of layers to this dynamic, maybe helping to deemphasize the importance of focusing on specials, but none of the developments in the genre made the 360 necessarily any simpler for a beginner to land on someone trying to hit him, so I liked RB2's approach of not going beyond it, while retaining a fair amount of complexity in the way a lot of other moves worked, not all necessarily tied to sheer execution. quote:Fellow NGPC brother! Yeah, that thumbstick was the poo poo. Only latest thing that had something that felt similar was PDP's Fightpad. I can't find that specific name in their site, I take it you mean the Versus? For lack of a NeoGeo pad for the PS3, which seems to be sold out everywhere...

Dragonball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi is actually not bad at all. There's less emphasis on the little things like feints, super spamming, and infinites and more on the bigger things like 'are you going to engage in this beam battle or try to swat it away' and when to start powering up. Mindgames and metagames. Its also extremely easy to get into. Rock Paper Scissors: The Video Game. I always did feel the previously DBZ fighting games were too complicated for how simple the DBZ fights were on the show. If you just want to chill out with a beer or plant of your choice and get into colorful, explodey DBZ battles with minimal effort or learning curve, gently caress It, DBZ Ultimate Tenkaichi is a good game for that purpose. If anything, it was a good change of pace from months of nothing but Third Strike.

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of worried about Skullgirls. I'm worried that people won't like it because it's not super flashy, and it's not something with Street Fighter/Tekken/KoF characters in it, and it's not easy. Not that I want the game to be any of those things, but I've got a bad feeling that it's gonna be another Psychonauts or Bloody Good Time and die because nobody plays it. Especially because of a lot of people's first reactions are "wow, this looks kind of lame."

It doesn't have to set the world on fire in sales to do well. And the popular reception might not totally dictate if the tournament scene likes it- MK9 is crazy popular but the tournament scene for it has really struggled.

Skullgirls looks great and I'll be buying it first-day but to be honest I can't see any characters so far that match my playstyle. Given my choices, I'd use Peacock because of her design but I don't think I'd do very well with her. It's the same problem with BlazBlue–I did okay with Hazama until his movement and easy BnBs got buffed, at which point I half-heartedly switched to Tao.

Skullgirls will be lucky if it manages to sell a fifth of the amount of copies as SF or MvC or whatever - it's a digital-only game, it's an original IP by an indie team, the art style is divisive, it's already cultivating a reputation as a niche hardcore game, and there's no single-player fluff - but I don't think that was ever the point.

I just got my eightarc fusion stick in. This thing is beautiful. Nice weight to it. The felt bottom keeps it from sliding around on my lap, it being dual modded is also a big plus as well. Worked perfectly on both consoles and PC. Totally worth the $200.

What I meant was, there's nothing to grind for and no other meta crap thrown in for people to "beat" without ever actually learning anything. RE: the tutorial, I don't doubt that it's gonna be deep and informative and easy to grasp, but perception is everything, so the sort of people who'd buy Marvel or MK on a whim aren't gonna buy Skullgirls because so much of the pre-release hype is about how it plays and how the systems work, so they're just gonna assume it's unapproachable and not even bother with it. You see the same thing with GG or VF or even MvC2 - people who haven't even played the games decide they're ridiculously complex or broken or whatever and eventually the echo chamber becomes impenetrable and scares everyone off.

I don't think anyone is expecting Skullgirls to set sales records on fire here. It ending up like Psychonauts would honestly be the best you could realistically expect, in that people deep into the scene and interested in that genre still talk about it and bring it up years after it first came out.

So apparently that Koihime Musou fighter came out some time ago. From watching like 2 videos, it's all poking and footies and mostly not even having combos off any kind of normal hit, UNTIL you get counter hit by specific moves/normals/a universal counter move? and you get a crumple stun you can use to combo into ground bounces/wallbounces/supers for like 60%

Ms. Fortune is the only one who's even a little bit gruesome? There's like no blood in the game at all besides her. And her whole schtick is that she's a zombie catgirl with detachable body parts. I think it's a little egregious to jump straight from "made a zombie catgirl character with detachable body parts for an indie fighting game" to "the artist probably jacks off to intestines 14 times a day."
