Loom was cool and good and I was so young when I first played it that I only remembered it vaguely in dreams until I saw the game like a decade later and freaked out. Well that's my story

I talked to the guy at the booth about it and it's coming out next week or so on PS4, for those not in the know it's a 2P versus first person game focused around stealth and one hit kills. Youre a mono-colored chicken guy in a map that only has 2 colors, with you and your opponent being one of them, and your task is to find the opponent and slice em up with your sword. Youve also got a kunai that paints the opponent the other color and stuns and there's even a close eyes button if you want to hide since it's local multi only. Heres some screenshots

The netcode feels a lot better than any other smash game I've played online (which is all of them both on consoles and Dolphin) and smash is a lot more forgiving with lag than traditional fighters. I live in Michigan and play people all over the east coast with no real significant lag unless they're an rear end using WiFi or something. But i also have a healthy local scene for PM and those people seem to take to it easily for whatever reason too. The discord runs nightly tournaments based on region, but from what I've seen most players are east.

anothergod posted:Ya kids who wanna believe that fighting games are about finding "answers" to "questions" keep believing in that, tho. It's real cute. Think a little more abstractly. We're not saying that in the sense that, say, LA Noire is about finding answers to questions; moreso, it's about learning to deal with every possible situation. For example, say you're maining Guile in ST. Vega/Claw is a really bad matchup for him, so you have to also know how to specifically counterplay against that character in addition to mastering Guile's moveset and combos. In that sense, you have to find an answer to "how am I going to counterplay against *insert move here*," and the way to do that is to keep throwing yourself at it over and over again until you figure it out.

I'm proud of this thread. We've gone like a year (or maybe I just missed it) without a closed-minded new person showing up with a chess analogy again. Or not realizing that maybe - while sometimes indelicate - the old timers™ of the thread miiiight actually have enough experience to understand why the BIG BRIGHT NEW IDEA flawed Broken loose made a good effort post to be welcoming. Cooking analogies? Check out this new tech! Also, the monkey island analogy was pretty good. Brian Moriarty's Loom™ is a loving fantastic game, too. It's pretty short too, you could easily finish it in an afternoon. The monkey island re-release graphics were lovely though, I can't stand that Guybrush redesign.

Yeah but there's not really too far you have to go before those two start to intersect. What was the deal with the whole boxing being akin to putting on boxing gloves analogy? Still sort of lost and I know it was a few pages ago and maybe it seems like I'm being willfully dense but I do not get it at least not in the context of fgs. or anything

I feel like I'm going two layers deep and this is the most pointless thing to try to explain since it's a stupid offhand argument from a page ago, but he was just saying that he didn't think the original argument was too relevant to fighting games (e.g. putting on boxing gloves really isn't a particularly important to boxing versus you know, the actual boxing part). There's nothing to get about it in the context of fighting games, he was just using an analogy to poo poo on the original monkey island analogy. Aaaannnnd that's today's lesson in reading comprehension and syntax. Doesn't change the fact that it's a dumb point, but I mean as a sentence it parses fine to me  . It's not that I didn't understand him, it's just that it was a weird thing to pick a fight over and kind of a dumb statement.

Annnnnnd that's why he got immediately flamed. That and the whole made a bad game that wasn't a fighting game and tried to convince the fighting game thread to play it thing. And then he got all testy responding to a loving Monkey Island analogy.attackmole posted:i mean it was a funny flippant analogy about learning fighting games that people liked and not the be all end all of FG philosophy but you can die on this hill if you want i guess.

I think the dude who wrote the shoryuken fighting game primer jerks off a bit about it. I blame Sirlin for getting people into dumb philosophising and analogies instead of just playing. Pro DOTA players don't try to explain how they follow the bushido code.

i think there are some metaphors that are salient and help explain why and how you should do certain things. like in dota terms i read an article on competitive strategy that used a few sun tzu quotes as starting points for discussing the strategy in that game, and they were pretty accurate points, but the difference is he just used the lines that actually applied like 'fight only when you know you can win, and only when you have something to gain from it,' and 'act quickly and decisively' and didn't try to extend the metaphor to the bits about the economy or enemy spies and sure as poo poo didn't include the moral philosophy parts.

Yeah I didn't realize that he explicitly rallies against bushido because I read the first page and thought I didn't want to read any more of this smug rear end in a top hat, whoops. OK, replace that with Art of War or whatever. Any ways my point is I think moral grandstanding and competitive philosophy is stupid and I would rather read 100 pages of stuff on game techniques than 10 on how to dominate the will of your opponent because I think that's smug neckbeard poo poo, and the latter seems to be a lot more common in fighting games than it does in other game genres.
