i'm not talking about the graphics

the movement and "aiming" (for lack of a better term) look janky and jerky as hell

movement speed is really slow, melee attacks seem to do their damage far to fast and have very little range, the areans are tiny, and there are enough obstacles to make "ranged" play basically useless

Random history question: when hearing people talk about annoying characters, I've heard Sagat's name from CVS2 come up a few times. What was his deal?

Pro is an amazing name!
On top of business as usual, Sagat's c.hp had a monstrous hitbox

Yeah, I was reading an article that mentioned the c.hp particularly as "defining the game for it's first few years of existence" and wasn't sure if that was hyperbole or not. Guess it's got a reputation.

marvel 3 is pretty good it's just badly flawed and far worse (but more accessible in a good way!) than the game in the series that came before it.

Is anyone here going to check out Combo Breaker next weekend? This is the first time I'm going to a big video game tournament, and I'm kinda excited and unsure of what to expect. I'm not competing, but we applied to show our game at their indie cade, so I'll be there aaalll weekend. Any tips/tricks/etc to have fun and/or just be **cool** would be appreciated.
Even if you're not competing you can roll up to any of the setups that aren't being used for a tournament right that moment and ask to get next. Try to play lots of games and make some new friends :) Unlike most tournaments, the venue at Combo Breaker is open 24/7 (Combo Breaker rules) so whenever you're freed from your indie game responsibilities there will be casuals.

Make sure you shower. This is always a good idea but at Combo Breaker they will actually kick you out if you smell too bad. (Combo Breaker rules)

I'll be there, I'll try to swing by the indie games when I have time.

Kids don't shower? Competitive advantage gone too far.

Thanks for the tip about free plays. I'm generally super chill and not pushy about getting in on games so I wouldn't have asked to get next w/o getting on a bracket. I'm p stoked to try some fight mans there. I missed out on all the cool stuff at Midwest Gaming Classic...,

Edit: Oops. Totally messed that up and butt posted. Here's some pseudo content regarding our game Super Combat Jr 2:

1) Combat Junior was a GLobal Game Jam game this year. It was not exactly good but had the same aesthetic. It also had really, really fun pacing which we've insisted on keeping for this version.

2) We're equally inspired by games like Smash Brothers and Hotline Miami as much as Towerfall, Zelda, and Street Fighter.

3) The attack/block/throw Rock Paper Scissors game is replaced with a slow long, fast short, and wide arching game. E.g swords beat spears beat axes beat swords. Obviously it's not as simple as that and maneuvering is huge. There are also weapons like the bomb that act like this game's throw and items like shields which mess up some systems. Shields actually are best vs long range and long range is treated like free damage opportunities for sneaky people, but they have to work for it and/or do it in multi-player fights.

4) We're planning on adding a ton more items. More modifiers/mutators like potions, weird weapons like ball & chain hammers, movement options, etc. I don't think we're doing in-arena pickups like Smash, but we want stage hazards and weird stage activities for some places.

5) We're going to roll out two more arenas for Combo Breaker. One will be more wide open and the other will be tighter.

I'm going with a few friends, only entered SF5 and Mystery Game, I'm mostly going to be dicking around playing casuals all weekend.

My advice is play as many games and meet as many people as possible. As bad as they can seem online, FGC people are generally cool IRL.

What's your game? I'll make sure to check it out.

Looks really great.
Although I'm a little worried about how much damage max mode combos do for only 1 meter, but at least it won't be 40-second combos like in KOF 13.

How anyone could want to play SF5 about seeing this game in action is beyond me.

I got it. I actually managed to get five ranked matches in, all against the same guy, doing a nearby region search with 2+ connection (I guess 3 is the highest, and I'm east coast US). I'm not sure just how far away they were, but all the matches except the last one played pretty smoothly. The last one only had several seconds near the beginning where the lag was noticeable, then things settled down. If you're not familiar with how Koihime handles lag, it's the same as on PS3/4. There's no warping or bad input delay, it's more like everything slows down. Get enough lag and it's like the match is played in slow motion, which is pretty funny because then you can react to everything in time. Anyway, I went 3-2 in those five close matches, he knew what he was doing.

I bought Koihime and played it for 2 hours or so, it's a lot of fun and surprisingly easy to pick up. Is there a primer for system mechanics or character overviews or anything around?
