One thing I think MvC3 got right was the VA - there's a lot of it, including lots of situation-specific stuff, and it's all pretty good.

The fact that pretty much everyone is voiced by their original voice actors (if they have appeared elsewhere with voices) is really cool.

Some dumb in the comments posted:

This is actually the main reason why Dead Or Alive is my preferred fighting game. A few people try to crowbar in the old ways of thinking and talk about tier lists, but the actual high-level players (and not just the loudmouths who claim to be the high-level players) have never spent more than seven seconds thinking about character tiers, frame data, move priority and so on. The DOA community is refreshingly open-minded and reasonable when it comes to these things: the thinking is it's not written into the game's code that character X will always beat or lose to character Y, and if player A is genuinely better than player B then which character they use should almost be irrelevant. Everyone has a better time because of it and it means that high level discussion is more often than not about the players themselves and the psychology of a match rather than fapping over a 2-frame advantage on block and other such trite nonsense.

Plus the DOA community generally don't try to force in stupid terms like "whiff" when "miss" is shorter and doesn't sound as silly, so there's that in their favour too.

Generally 3D fighting game players do seem more willing to ignore the old ways of thinking and it does seem to be mostly Capcom 2D fighting game fans who are hell-bent on picking apart every single animation, studying hitboxes under amicroscope and talking at length about why each character is better or worse than the others. It also seems to be the 2D fans (again, especially Capcom fans) that insist on using arcade sticks all the time while 3D game fans seem to take a well-made d-pad over anything else. It's an interesting divide.

That's it, I'm done. I'm done with the internet and I'm done with video games. Please come to my house and shoot me in the face and throw my computer in the bin. :suicide:

I'm thinking of buying a Qanba Q4RAF, anyone know a good place to order one from in Europe? There doesn't seem to be a place in Sweden that has them from what I have found. I found GremlinSolutions through a friend and I'm wondering if anybody has experience ordering from them? Also interested in hearing what people who own a Qanba Q4RAF think of the stick.

Question Mark Mound posted:

Is this coming out in US/UK or just Japan?
Honestly, I think if they market a Gundam VOOT-alike properly they could probably even build up some kind of proper scene for it.

Actually, speaking of licensed anime fighters, I watched a little bit of the Naruto: UNS2 tournament at a local games convention (totally not a serious tournament, but anyway...) and it actually looked pretty fun. I saw there's a new one coming out soon. Not that it'll ever be a legitimate or competitive fighting game, but can anyone vouch for it possibly being any good?

I played NUNS2 a lot when it was released and the game is inherently and fundamentally broken in the way that the game comes down to constantly mashing the block button in order to avoid damage with the teleport thing and it's extremely effective. There is no "reliable" way to inflict damage on each other in NUNS2 due to this. At most, you can sometimes land a grab on someone if they are not mashing hard enough, and sometimes a super.

This leads to pretty much 80% of the (very homogenous) cast is pretty much trash because all they can really do is melee. The ranged oriented characters like Deidara, Shino, the puppet users and someone I'm probably forgetting are pretty fun to play though since their gameplans are generally less hosed over by the game system.

Even discounting these things the game is nowhere near balanced in any way because of how the comeback factor transformation thing that characters can do at low health are so ridiculously different in usefulness between the cast. Some characters when they transform will get a wimpy little blue aura and I guess maybe do a little more damage, while others go straight up dragonball and turn into huge monsters that can't take damage and kills you in one or two hits (think x-factor level 3 except more like x-factor level 10).

Now even with all that said, the game is really cool and fun to play in a casual setting and I had tons of fun with it (even though the online was as expected full of xXxGokuIchigoKillerNinjaxXx and ragequitters). It's a shame that the new one seems literally unchanged in regards to the game system because if they reworked the really dumb block/teleport mechanic the game could be both really fun and also have some kind of measure of depth to it, but definitely not as it is now.

Bottomline game is fun (and different!) but really dumb and held back by really bad design choices. Also no matter how much I wish it wasn't it's still naruto and that's gay.

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:

Regarding teleports, they aren't as broken as you think. Doing a teleport costs a considerable amount of meter, which you really need in this game. Spam teleports and suddenly you're out of meter and soon guard-broken.

But they didn't? Unless they patched the game or something the amount of meter it takes to teleport is so neglible it's a non-issue in the long run, especially since you get time enough to recharge your meter to full after pretty much any "knock down"

sf2feilong is a professional salt miner and probably the number one reason why people on ggpo abandon their bizarre adventures with Jojo so quickly. Don't let him get to you and try playing some other more helpful people. Fayk can probably namedrop some cool dudes. I haven't played for awhile so I'm not sure who's active these days but some people I used to play were jedpossum, matt_ca or something I forget his name (hella salty guy) and gamegeezer who's a million times better than me but a cool dude.

There's also the german shin-god level players like toki and ATG that hang out who might be more helpful. I played ATG a long time ago and while he bodied me repeatedly he was always able to answer any question I had.

I would play Jojo more but laggy Jojo makes me saltier than any fighting game ever made, because it's sooo good without lag... :smith:

Welp when you get DSP of all people talking down on people for their lifestyle you know its time to jack out the internet cable and shoot yourself in the head, see ya world~~ :suicide: It's amazing how he can be so outstandingly hypocritical on that subject but DSP is a giant idiot baby so it's to be expected.

As for the stuff about the FGC, from my outside looking in point of view I can actually kind of see what he's getting at, personally I think the "FGC" (stuff like srk and eventhubs and "stream monsters" and pretty much everything on the internet regarding fgs, not tournaments) is really dumb and silly but I'm obviously not a part of it so it's not really my place to comment on.

Anyone gonna play Tekken Tag 2? I know you lot are allergic to 3D fighters, but Tekken Tag is pretty fast-paced and actually entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, my low-tier bitch condition flared up and Jun/Asuka apparently suck in this game. Not that Jun was good in TTT, quite the opposite. Fuckin' Mishimas.

I will definitely be playing. I'm still scrubby as hell in T6 but I have access to some good local players so hopefully I can level up more in preparation for TTT2. To further amplify the stereotype Brosnan posted I'm most likely going to be playing Jin/Jun because I am a horrible person with no clue that hates everything that has to do with making good rational decisions regarding character picks.
