'Red Hot Kick' is actually from Devil May Cry. I want to say all DMCs, except obviously DmC, have had it while using the fist weapon. So, Ifrit, Beowolf and Gilgamesh. But the move lists I see online don't mention it in 1. Though I know it was vital to my beating Nelo Angelo 3 a few months ago... I think.

But they didn't home in in DMC, does the Viewtiful Joe Kick do that?

It is also in 2 when you play as Trish and send Sparda on a round trip or stab it into the ground. And they all home in. It homing is why it was vital to my beating Nelo Angelo 3 on DMD mode: I'd jump behind him and 'homing kick' into his back whenever he started blocking(which is anytime he's not killing you in 2 hits).

Royalty is a continuous cutting motion


The Chinese Room argument is an example of one of the problems with defining intelligence: it's easy to define what it isn't, but hard to define what it is. I think most people would agree that an extremely well-written program that performs contextualized heuristic lookups to an extremely extensive table, thus approximating conversation, isn't sentient. However, that doesn't mean you couldn't get to the same result (an engaging conversation in a foreign language) another way -- for example, being smart and knowing Chinese. What the Chinese Room argument really does is illustrate that a single measure of intelligence isn't good enough -- it's probably possible to make a computer that is smart and knows Chinese, if only by simulating a whole brain at the individual neuron level in real-time by means of raw processing power.

Nah, it's just really useful in the 2D setting. (and if you zoom in it turns into a flaming dragon kick which is even more bitchin')

I always knew the move as killer bee because that what it was in DMC3 where you could cancel into itself and jump on a dude's head forever. I don't think the diving kick really had a name until Viewtiful Joe though which came out before that.

I always call it Killer Bee regardless of what game it appears in because it was so awesome in DMC3 and because I like bees. I love how incestuous all the Clover/Platinum/Hideki Kamiya games are

That move alone pretty much makes aerial enemies tolerable since there aren't too many options for air combos and mid-air mobility in general.

I've seen Westerns, I know how to speak cowboy.
I like that they actually modelled the insides of the enemies, so you can see a cross section of them when you slice them up.

It always goes by really quickly in the game, but it's easy to pause these videos to see.

I'm really curious about the PC version of this game. Is there a part of the fighting/brawler/whateverthefuckinggenre community that use a keyboard or is the PC release merely a courtesy and should still be expected to be played with a controller?

I have a controller for PC that I use for some genres, particularly fighting games, but I'm wondering if anyone does (or even can??) play with keyboard/mouse in these games.

The real issue I can see is that precisely aiming with Blade Mode (which is required in this game in certain situations) would be a lot more painful with WASD than it is with an analog stick.

Fighting games have never been all that popular on PC thanks to this sort of limitation. On the other hand, the Arkham Asylum/City games are pretty easily handled with a keyboard/mouse system (although, having used both, I'd say the controller is better suited). It mostly comes down to how well the controls are handled by the port developers and how well they get tested.

Probably not, because unless they reversed the controls for Blade Mode (unlikely given how smooth it's supposed to be to slip into), you'd have camera control on the mouse. So you'd still aim in blade mode with your mouse, but actually making a cut at the precise angle you want would be handled really awkwardly by WASD.

You can aim with the mouse, click + drag to aim the cut, release to slash?

If nothing else, the auto-slash while in Blade Mode is always there. It's not 100% accurate but it generally gets the job done barring when you're trying to cut off left hands.

I'd say aim with the mouse, left click to slash, right click to switch between horizontal and vertical cuts.

I think that in pretty much any case the controls are going to be slightly awkward, so it's definitely going to be a 'controller probably works best here' sorta thing. Some controls are just completely made with a controller in mind.

I imagine MGR will go much like the Dark Souls PC release, where there is some group of people who refuse to use a controller in a game solely designed to be used with controllers and then complains how the M&KB controls are suboptimal.

You can play the PC version of DMC4 with just a keyboard (because there's no mouse support). It's terrible and I don't recommend it.

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
I wish I'd had Chip's parrying video back when I first played this (like a week ago but still). I muddled through a good part of the game only being able to parry like one attack in a row because I was just holding the analogue stick in one direction a lot of the time. Then around the second proper boss fight it all clicked that I should be doing a Smash Attack motion and I was parrying every attack that got thrown at me like a motherfucker. Counter parries are still kind of tricky though.

The swift ramping up of tech sort of got to me in this game until I remembered that Metal Gear was developed separately by at least two people and AI was being tested in the mid 70s. The Patroits were really hiding a lot of poo poo from everyone. I'm assuming thats what happened to the magic Oil in MG2 also.
