Well along these lines what about good rear end fight intros. Billy Kane's "Ima gonna gently caress you so bad" is a classic.

Honestly, all of 3rd Strike's rival intros for me, but Alex/Hugo and Ryu/Ken in particular.

GG has shitloads of cool custom single-player intros that I don't specifically remember.

KOF has tons of good ones, like the Mai/Andy intro where she taunts him with the baby, or the Leono/Chang salute glitch they brought back for 14.

It's not a custom intro but Start Running........... NOW is perfect

Huh, I always thought Andy and Mai was an eternal "will they or won't they" kind of pairing, but I don't think I've ever seen Andy sweat bullets like that before, and he's fought Geese!

I like how in Soul Calibur, not only are all the moves named, but most of them are themed around the fighter.

All of Zasalamel's are various Egyptian/Sumerian/Babylonian gods; Talim's are all wind-themed; Cassandra and Sophitia are various Greek mythological figures; and so on.

Very clearly Vice and Mature from KoF have the biggest signal to noise ratio in this department because they predated Guilty Gear in having all of their moves be references to metal songs/bands.


vice has had a move called deathblow since she was introduced and the song deathblow by deftones didn't come out till 03 so that list is kinda bogus.

Does Skullgirls count as cheating because "Three Wulf Moonsault," "Khepri Sun," and "Forever a Clone" are some top tier attack names.

I'd put "filthy acts at a resonable price" here but if we're allowed to include JoJo stuff that's basically cheating.

So since Jojo does music names for some things, is this just a weird-as-hell localization of AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?

its not a move name but in act cadenza the 2v2 mode had team names for every possible pairing and the team name for mech hisui + neco arc chaos was 'Seriously, we don't know anymore.'

nothing beats Berserker Barrage for me though I also love Buster Wolf. A lot of move names are memorable to me based on who says it and how it's said. "AH YOU OK" basically makes Buster Wolf awesome.

Why is this called Laser Scraper? Maybe they just put a mic on Tasty Steve and had him run through a word generator. "Laser Scraper! Steel Pedal! OOF Steel Pedal AGAIN! Hellsweep DENIED" yeah that sounds awesome write it down - Harada, probably.

The problem isn't that prox normals are gone, it's that

yeah this.

I don't think the two are unrelated though? Just comparing animations it's clear that Capcom used the far normal animations for the older SF characters when working on V, but then the hitboxes are far more withdrawn. This also applies to other normals like crouching moves which didn't have proximity normals from what I can gather (I'm using VamSav as my reference point here) but I've seen a lot of crouching heavy kicks whiff even though the actual foot of a character or even the ankle is intersecting with the opponent. That the whole game forces players into each others faces instead of giving more reliable and available far reaching normals to everyone in the roster is still the result of dropping the concept of proximity normals in the first place. At least that's my take on it.

That's Laser Cannon, not Laser Scraper. Scraper is the variant that ends in an uppercut, which sort of abstractly works given the name of the non-variant. I don't think I can explain why rationally, it just vaguely makes sense in my head.

IIRC they were only a "will they or won't they" pair in FF2 and 3, from then on they're a couple even if Andy is awkward about it.

To put a long story short, Gllty has been creepy for years (even I’ve heard poo poo when she was down here in St. Louis) and was actually groping people (described in Yohosie’s twitter thread). Gllty admitted it and she’s probably going to leave the FGC anyway

Oh, and someone is also alleging that she shared a hotel room with Floe and woke up to him feeling on her. Floe opted for the “she’s mentally unstable and I’m lawyering up, statement later today!” Approach

if she left bruises or threatened to kill one of the women then she'd be allowed to play. makes sense.
