Blitzkampf is a good game. We regularly put it on every couple weeks at our arcade.

BlitzTank is the main attraction, but most people can't play zoner-keep away characters right.

Well Blitztank kind of has the problem of being incredibly slow, doing poo poo damage, and taking up half the screen.

I am trying to remember and old fighting game I played on the MegaDrive ages ago.
It had a silver robot with long legs that had a breakdance attack and a dwarf pharaoh (or maybe it was an aztech statue).

I can't remember anything else and it's driving me nuts

BlitzTank's not even a glass cannon, but if you can be persistent, guess right and spam his jumping medium, you can actually kill people.

Yo, this is really loving depressing. Maj has some of the best editing, presentation, and technical skills in the biz, and it's really sad that somebody like Desk can put out the same Chun-Li combo + taunts + PERFECT! screen videos twice a month to huge fanfare (even landing him advance copies of certain games to test!) while Maj puts out literally the best video ever annually to nothing. He's a huge part of FGC history and his content will be sorely missed.

I really liked his footsies articles. I'm not sure if they actually help people get better at fighting games but they make it sound like some mystical kung fu without the condescension of Sirlin's writing, and I'm all for that. And I never get tired of reading about Valle and Choi playing old fighting games.

Speaking of combo videos the ST folks have their one-touch-kills down. Pretty fitting that Ken's usually got the fanciest poo poo.

It's still up in the air.

My list, not ordered within tiers is:

S: Gordeau, Wald, Merk
A+: Eltnum, Carmine
A: Yuzu, Linne, Vatista
B: Byakuya, Orie, Hyde, Seth, Hilda, Nanase
C IS FOR CHAOS
D IS FOR DUMPSTERAKATSUKI

I think Eltnum/Carmine might be S tier, and Hyde might move up to A once we start seeing some really good optimized combos.

Also I think Potemkin was top tier in Guilty Gear, as well.

Cerebella's insanely good but even if SGE wasn't 1 or 2 very very close tiers she'd be mid-tier at best*.

*This only considers unweighted matchup results, it doesn't include Fukua, Eliza, Big Band, or new tech like Painwheel's parry glitch, and some of the people who contributed to the matchup chart weren't really that smart.

The one place you'll always find them is the main Twitch.tv stream for the event, they serve as commercials. But the tournament calendar is pretty empty in these post-EVO months.

If he wants to functionality to a 360 TE, there are easier and cheaper options. Consider getting a TE Kitty from toodles http://godlikecontrols.com/ (well I guess not cheaper these days, but its almost plug and play and it also comes with the older console options)

Sort of. There was a bug with her unfly where if she blocked something right after unfly, whatever blockstun she was supposed to be in was instead reduced to 0 frames of blockstun. She could also backdash if she did it within 5 frames after blocking something in this state.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJyTEb40MDM

Mike's solution was to change it so instead of blockstun being reduced to 0 it is reduced to 25%.

No sign of the Arcade Lobby mode then? That would be good news. As cute as it was, it was badly implemented and it fragmented the playerbase. Though to be honest, I'm of the mind that there shouldn't even be a Ranked mode either.

I have alopecia, which fortunately is much less gross than whatever Marn has, and since I have health insurance the topical spray they give me for it that doesn't seem to do anything was free. Without insurance it was ~$300 for a 12 oz. bottle.

I remember when I heard that price at the pharmacy actually thinking, "Good thing I'm not a professional FG player!"
