Is there a NC FGC? Serious question moving there soon.

Charlotte and Greensboro have FGC groups that get good turn outs at weeklies and monthlies. There's an FGC group in Raleigh/Durham as well but they're a bit more reclusive at the moment. We tend to have folks come down from Virginia and up from SC/Georgia too. Most of these groups organize on Facebook primarily.

I also played Tekken Card Challenge and it was a way better game than Petit. But also some completely different thing with a world map and leveling up hwoarang in random battles and such

We used to play Match of the Millennium running NGPC cables under our desks in highschool Japanese class. That was such a wonderful little handheld with probably the best analog stick out of any portable to date.

I have a NGPC. It does have a pretty good stick. How good? Geese's raging storm pretzel motion is easily doable.

this game is genuinely good for what it is. it's a very faithful port of the original game and doesn't really have the weird slowdown or other jank that plagues other handheld demakes of fighters.

they just had to make it look and sound like total loving trash to get there, no big deal though.

I found sales numbers as of December 2016:

Vanilla SF4: 3.4 million
SSF4: 1.9 million
SFXT: 1.8 million
SFV: 1.5 million
SF4 3DS: 1.2 million
SSF4AE: 1.1 million
USF4: 1 million

Apparently SF4 3DS sold 100,000 copies between June and September 2014, which is kind of bizarre considering it was several years old and way outdated by that point.

SFIV 3DS sold as many copies in four months over 3 years after it debuted as SFV did during the last nine months of its launch year. That's how irrelevant SFV is to the mainstream gaming community.

Why Capcom never bothered with USF4 3DS is beyond me.

The Guardian Heroes port for XBLA has a modern mode that makes it play kinda like the Bleach DS games, plus an expanded versus mode with Smash levels of granular customisation, it's cool but weird because it's still Guardian Heroes.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

It would be amazing if they're loving us and the silhouettes are Miu, Jun and Reiji like when they kept saying a character known for counters from KoF '96 would be returning in '99 making people excited for Geese Howard except it ended up being Kasumi Todoh. I know they're not and it's clearly Yamazaki, Vanessa and Whip and that's gonna be awesome but still. :P

I don't care. The game could ship, and there would be no option in the menu, and I would still refuse to live in a world where there's a loving street fighter 2 game without an arcade mode.

Every circus has its share of ghost stories; the lion handler who didn't train his cats enough, or the clown who never came out of his little car.
