Has anyone played stay dead? It's an FMV "round beat'em up like Street Fighter" that seems to play pretty much like an extended QTE. There are a couple trailers on their sick all-caps website. I'm a little disappointed that they don't have a demo, but there are only five opponents so I guess they didn't want to give away 20% of the game for free. Looks fun for a few minutes, but not really worth $10.

When did the term 'anime fighter' start getting used? All the qualities of what makes a standard anime fighter used to be called 'Guilty Gear clone.' Except anime fighter is an even more poorly defined term and sometimes used as somewhat derogatory. Like when a super is excessively long or very over-the-top people call it anime but that describes every fatality in Mortal Kombat yet people don't call it anime. If anything, Mortal Kombat was doing it way before Japanese games were so shouldn't over-the-top supers be called 'American?' It's all pretty silly and nonsensical to me.

It seems like you have to be pretty willfully obtuse to not understand why someone would describe the style of a certain super as being "anime" and why this doesn't really apply to fatalities.

Anime fighter, doujin fighter, MK, they're all the same to me, I really don't mind them. Though that doesn't mean I'm going to give Arcana or whatever a try.

I've also never heard the term 'anime fighter' used in a derogatory way. Referring to Oni's super as an anime super, witch it totally is, does not make SSF4 an anime fighter. It's much more about the mechanics of a certain game rather than the art style/presentation. VigilantePrime fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Aug 28, 2012 |

Not because anime is bad, but because a whole slew of GG clones by various companies have flooded Japan and all of them are good. That and stupid doshin fighters. Also MK wasn't doing it first, there were a lot of Japanese fighters prior to MK's release that were pretty out there.

To be honest, I very rarely hear "anime fighter" used in an insulting way. In fact, I hear it used more by fans of the genre to describe anything that plays roughly similar to GG/MB/BB.

A few guys in my group have multiple cabs and anime/animu fighter gets tossed around in a negative fashion because kids at comic con/anime cons only play anime fighters and are horribly bad at them.

Do they just refer to those games as Guilty Gear clones then? That term just kind of reminds me of back in the day when any FPS was called a Doom clone.

Question Mark Mound posted:Do they just refer to those games as Guilty Gear clones then? That term just kind of reminds me of back in the day when any FPS was called a Doom clone. animu game = game that plays like GG or like one of it's clones anime game = game that is actually based off an anime dojin game = bastardized animu game And the thing about animu games, is you can play one you pretty much know the basics of the others. For all the bitching and whining about BB (and I agree with a lot of it) the game is obviously closer to guilty gear than any other. It's not all that hard to pick up. You'll find a lot of people play all the animu games. The know the basics of each well enough to swap between them but are horribly bad at them and don't understand any sort of real tactics. Often caught in a Naruto costume and smeared with Cheeto's ruining your cab while they play. Also GG clones based off anime had a pretty popular spree in Japan. They don't come to the US and most of them are pretty terrible in one form or fashion. They only one that's passible is Hokuto No Ken. Which requires combo skills and reflexes far beyond MVC2 or MVC3 and nearly any character has an infinite combo on any other. It's so broken it's good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu7cMr8tTX0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJd7RAh09SM&feature=related

Hey so I don't know if anybody is following Injustice at all but a guy got to go play it at the Fan Expo in Toronto. Apparently the game doesn't actually have a block button, but instead you hold back like traditional fighting games. It was also described as "combo friendly" (meaning new players can mash out a 1/4 health combo).

Also, that Chun CC still makes me laugh, just because it requires one button and no motions. Also, I'm pretty sure the CC does a good 10% more damage if you can mash hard enough to go straight from sweep into lightning legs.

Went back several changes and didn't find any joystick discussion: my storage space is becoming increasingly rare, are there recommendations for a high-end arcade-style stick that will work on the 360 and PS3 (as in one physical stick that can be hooked up to either console)? The best bet seems to be the Qanba sticks, but wanted to know if anyone had specific experience with them, or if anyone had positive experiences with either similar multi-console sticks (more consoles is better, but at least PS3/360), or a stick + some form of adaptor.

The Eightarc Fusion is basically a Qanba stick without the start button on the face that works on multiple consoles. I've clumsily mashed on mine for almost a year now and aside from opening it to clean the buttons (I'm a filthy smoker) it's been awesome on both of my consoles and with my computers. Also if it's worth another $30 to be able to store your stick in tight spaces, I can recommend the Link as well. This winter I was traveling a lot and in a routine where futzing in training mode for an hour was the best way to put myself to sleep in different timezones. I bought one to stash my stick in my suitcase or workbox, it was easy to get used to and I'm pretty sure I prefer its shape to a regular stick now.

My local FGC has been saying good things about the Mayflash PS3/360/PC/PS2 adapter. It's supposedly lagless, but that may just be a placebo effect (same with people claiming it does introduce lag)

I have a few friends with Qanbas, and they are fantastic. I've never used an Eightarc but supposedly they're basically exactly the same so I would assume those are good too.

They're only going to be supporting xinput, I imagine so they can charge more companies loyaltys for needing to use their software.

Wait, so if you want to sell any kind of controller that works with Windows 8 without some sort of headache, you need to pay MS a licensing fee? But... what?

No, anything that's going to work with windows 8 needs to use xinput, which is microsofts special xbox controller driver. Companies that make converters, controllers for windows 8 will have to pay microsoft to use xinput for their products.

I have a qanba, round 1 TE and the big metal SFxT stick. The others only get used by guests, I will never not use the Qanba. Never had any issues at a tournament swapping it from 360 to ps3. Mine came with clear buttons that feel just like seimitsu buttons. They feel nothing like the Sanwa on the TE stick. They didnt specifically state what buttons it came with so be aware of that. If I was aware of the eightarc sticks, I would have gotten that instead. I never hit the start button on the face, but its always on the back of my mind. The elive pro sticks have the start on the side and come in awesome colors like hot pink Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Aug 29, 2012 |

It's not really a big deal at this point. The best controllers for Win 7 are xbox 360-compatible controllers already.

My experience with the Qanba Q4RAF has been pretty mediocre and a lot of the people I know have had similar experiences. I used my TE for a pretty long time and it's still kicking with no problems and in pretty good shape -- the build quality on a Qanba just doesn't seem anywhere near as high. The felt on the bottom gets gross and starts peeling, I've needed to get the wire replaced twice (one died in the middle of a match at ECT, that was cool) despite taking as solid care of it as I could and the mic port at the bottom has never worked which isn't too big of a problem but it's still a thing. A couple of my friends have had similar experiences and switched to using an Eightarc which they claim has better build quality despite it seeming like the same poo poo to me. I can't recommend against it because it's still the only great option that's dual modded out the box, but be prepared to treat it slightly better than you'd have to treat a Madcatz stick.

Qanbas are Chinese EightArcs (I could be wrong). Personally, if I had some money for a second stick, I would've ordered an EithArc from the US right away.
