I found DoA to be dumb fun with friends that aren't into fighters. The stages and attack animations are pretty. That's...pretty much it, though.

Do character bans in fighting games usually involve some kind of council voting or something?

Daigo trains 9 hours a day, 363 days a year. And that doesn't include the 2 hours he spends commuting to the arcade.

He already trains like a korean starcraft pro. He is overall the best and wins more tournaments than anyone, but I think this is some proof that the edges you get in FG aren't as big as in starcraft.

This is all in context of spectators, who buy into the 'FRAUD' mentality every time he loses, which is quite a bit.

:stare:

Doesn't he have (or had) a full time job as well? I seem to recall reading somewhere that he works in an emergency room. How in the world does he fit everything in?

Except there isn't a Raiden in Tekken.

Speaking of Tekken, since there's no Tekken thread and there are others like me who are excited for TTT2, if you are new to Tekken then this post is pretty much the best possible introduction to TTT2/Tekken in general there is (that I've found) and everyone should read it.

Hot drat. Gotta give Neogaf credit. They go all out on OPs for major games.

EDIT: Super stoked for S-tier Hwoarang. Sit on defeated opponents every day.

An ideal fighting game of mine would somehow combine Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Capcom vs. SNK, and Def Jam: Fight for New York. Also it would have Soul Calibur's customization and Blazblue/Guilty Gear's level of special quotes and taunts.

More realistically, I thought it would always be cool to have some kind of arena fighter that's a mix between Powerstone, Virtual On, and Bushido Blade that revolves around John Woo/Jackie Chan-esque fights. Lots of stage interaction and possibly a "stylish" mode where each fighter as unlimited health and the goal is to rack up points from combos and variation.

Kind of an odd question, but what are some basics for fighting game commentating? I may have a chance to commentate for some silly Soul Calibur V scrub stream my friends are doing, and I figure I might as well give it a shot. :shobon:

ImperialGuard posted:

Game knowledge is an important thing. You don't want to sound like Adam Sessler that one time he did commentary at EVO.

It also (seems) to help to have someone else commentating with you so that you can split the duties of talking about the action and talking about more analytical game knowledge stuff.

Boxman posted:

Don't get too caught up in play by play. poo poo happens too fast, and commentary where you're just narrating is bad commentary.

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I'm going practicing a lot to brush up on the mechanics and whatnot. Also, and I guess this is SC specific, how important would you say knowing button inputs for moves are? To me, it would just seem awkward to be constantly going "Left, right, right, A" etc. I guess that would fall into the "narrating" aspect.

Well Tekken 3 was the first really amazing one, for what that's worth. Soul Calibur took a big nosedive after 2 though.

E: Alpha 2 fits the rule too.

But came back at 5! Uhh, any other games that could apply to as well?

I'm not missing!
I just finished up the master version, and I had a cold and a fever so I was home drinking tequila and getting some work done. Ono got a new car late last month so I took it for a test drive, and cleared some games I had piled up (Crysis 3, Bioshock, Metro) so I ignored calls from the office. I was busy. Then Grid 2 came out while work was piling up, people were treating me like I was missing or something. I'm fine, and back to work and I'll be at E3, so don't worry.
