The worst part about SVC Chaos is that SVC Match of the Millennium, a handheld fighting game from several years earlier, was so much better. How the hell did they manage that?

The NGPC, for everything else that went wrong, was probably the best handheld yet for fighters.

The Soul series is the pinnacle of lovely baby fighting games. It offers almost nothing for anyone craving a game with a high skill cap, on purpose. Namco repeatedly introduces features in both the console and arcade versions that create an incentive for single-player play in a genre that should be exclusively multi-player. The rewards for single-player play in the console versions are typically modifications to the basic game mode that make it worthless as a competitive game (weapons, create-a-character). I can find almost nothing rewarding about the series as a whole other than the fact that it helps get more new players in to fighting games.

Cool. Got any opinions on Smash Bros?

Yes I do!

I think the Smash series is super fun! Brawl is still dumb fun, but it is not good. High level play in smash brothers has a higher skill cap than the Soul series by far. Melee is fun to watch and play. It is a more complicated than its predecessor and a more competitive game than Brawl. Doing combos in Melee can be more difficult than doing combos in traditional fighting games. Pretty much the main lovely thing about Smash would be items, but they can be turned off making them a non-issue. The other lovely thing is the levels, but the Smash community has some dumb system with switching levels and counter-picking levels worked out to try to compensate. Even then, the game is still more entertaining and a better fighting game than any entry in the Soul series.

I have opinions on a lot of fighting games, if you'd like to hear more I'd be happy to oblige.

You are truly a bro, with many cool stories :thumbsup:

Saulabi SPS-1000 has five different kinds of the functions. Feel like playing games in arcade room. You can add more excitement in arcade games.

As a one-time serious HnK player who basketballed with the best of them, I have to say that it is fun as hell to play at any level. It's one of those games that's so utterly balls-to-the-walls broken that the game actually sort of balances it out when all is said and done, because everyone can kill everyone else in one hit. There are still tiers because some guys can kill people in one hit easier than others, but still. It is probably the only game where a dude with a skillset that's like Wesker's on steroids (high priority normals, multidirectional air/ground teleports, 1 frame physical/projectile counters, one touch kill combos off of jabs and throws and pretty much everything else) has someone above him on the tier list.

Sounds very much like the original Guilty Gear, before they made the instant kills more a liability than an asset.

If that's all it takes I'll buy a four-pack and send a note to the effect of "Unless you really hate money you should probably try and put this on Steam".

I know the PC fightgame scene is the second biggest joke since "Linux Gaming" but at least out here the (central west coast) SSF4 on GFWL has a really healthy community.

If you're playing SSF4 on a PC that can't get a rock-steady 60 FPS the only thing wrong with his statement is "human being." It's incredibly annoying to have the framerate suddenly shift on you in a game that depends so completely on muscle memory and reactions.

Of course, if you already are and he's just being a jackass, more power to you.


And a version of Blazblue that's like three versions old. :v:

More importantly there's, y'know, GGPO.

It rates a C and really the only stage I drop frames on is Pitch-Black Jungle. (Most of the time I wind up hosting and I always pick TS) Also I never knew that the PC version of Blazblue got released; I just sort of assumed they smothered it with a pillow and tossed it out with the perishables.

VVV I've rocked it against another C a time or two; I'll be getting a desktop before too long.

You sure about that? I mean, even if you want to stay relatively mainstream Tekken has had two dinosaurs and a kangaroo before the PS2 era.

Hitboxes are great if you're doofy with directional inputs like me, to the point where you find yourself jumping out of sonic booms. And if you're having it made for you, go ahead and figure out which hand is more dexterous and put the directional buttons on that side of the box. I flipped my 'box myself, which you might not want to do unless you've got a decent set of tools on hand.
