SC4, probably. The game touted having manga artists design bonus fighters and they were all just anime tittay characters. There was no returning from that.

Speaking of poverty, UNIST continues to be the highlight of the day and they're doing semifinals soon. drat this game is drat near perfect.

Watching Saikyo completely dissect some poor guy they were incorrectly displaying as Laim which the commentators were pronouncing as "lame" for 90% of the match before they renamed it to Liam was amazing, and then it was followed up with a literal back alley anime fight between Squish and poo poo I forget the other guy because now the match is over which was just brutal whiff punishes and back and forth clutch comebacks and if you're expecting me to remember character names or anything other than how awesome this game is to watch then I can't help you.

If you play Ivy then you don't have to worry about any of the latter

Even though her 5 outfit is way cooler

I actually noticed it with her first, but it took me like six matches to make sure I wasn't just imagining things because, well, Ivy.

Good luck bud! Watching Swap last year at work was hype as gently caress, and got my coworkers into PPT. When I got it for my Switch, downtime at work more or less became PPT Swap time, especially after we all took a buyout and our team was winding down for when we eventually disbanded. It's awesome how it's basically a fighting game in disguise, so you can get all competitive with people who would never touch a fighting game.

SC6 is looking pretty good, I spent a ton of time just playing single player in 2,3, and 4 so even if its not great multiplayer I'll still probably get my fun out of it.

KOF was good and hype. Top 4 tomorrow.

Swapped over to Marvel:I top 4 out of morbid curiosity and motherfuckers are taking walks in between games and channeling the spirits for minutes at a time. It's like they keep calling the coach to the mound to stall for time but instead of baseball they're all playing arena football or a horseshoe tournament and nobody really gives a gently caress. It's fascinating.

That was an amazing match. I'm a big fan of Party Wolf's "I'm currently under the effect of 40mg of valium" style, and I don't mean that facetiously.

It was on evo7. A man made of pure porcelain waited patiently, reaching for his controller every time the other guy LOOKED like he was actually going to start playing. He didn't start for like another minute and a half.

Japan won.

My friend called it a worse defeat than Pearl Harbor but it's more like if they sacked Pearl Harbor and we were all "Well we weren't REALLY using those boats anyway." and still stayed out of the war.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Soul Calibur 6 looks amazing. I was already getting the game anyways but man there's a lot more going on in sc6 than anything else in the series. Game looks like a real contender based off what I saw.

*ed*

A lot more true combos and the lethal hit (crush counter) into combos in this vs older games. I think its a good step forward for the series. Plus everyone having a unique install is cool.

nothing, it's basically the sc equivalent of a focus attack. it's weighted rps, As beat Bs beat Ks etc with some other options thrown in, but different characters get different rewards for successfully landing their options. example would be one character might get a launcher for successfully landing their B but only get a single hit for landing their A, whereas another character might have a weak B but their A could potentially ring out.

edit: i'm tired, it's Ks beat Bs beat As

every character has a different reversal edge move with different hitboxes, also they can all be charged up to become unblockable. i'm pretty sure they have super armor as well but i might be wrong about that one

I just rewatched the Ivy vs Sophie part, and it was probably unintentional because they are not familiar with the game but dude totally hit the armour of the reversal edge, and still had time to step out of the way of its swing down and then punished the whiff.
