If you want to play gg2020 when it comes out you might as well learn xrd if you find it interesting. A lot might change in STRIVE, but there's also aspects of the game that haven't changed in over a decade

Londrekia was announced at the same time as UNICLR. Some people were speculating/hoping they would be making Joker a playable character as well but they haven't announced anything more.

I hope they are cool. I havent been able to really click with anyone in the cast currently, i dig carmines attitude and buttons the most but i also am my own worst enemy with his bleeding.

I'd be more interested in Lex than edgy card boy. I want to see what her powers are since she apparently has super-speed and is a mechanical genius who was trying to jury rig one of the Vatistas.

Mostly I'd want the gun princess though, especially since apparently she had placeholder UI elements left in the UNIST files.

I did just see GG2020 isn't coming out until late 2020, so I think I'm going that route.

I was thinking of buying a fightstick, but is it a better idea to buy a hitbox?

Stick or pad for console you like. Easier to find, borrow or replace. Not going to bother getting into whether hitboxes should be legal or not, people at a local or online probably aren't really going to care.

If you need a cheap stick, Eightarc.com still has qanba drones for $60 they're quite capable and if you like it you can throw a sanwa lever in it yourself for another $25. If you want to splurge, they have obsidians for $160.

Fightstick will always be legal and no one will ever hate you for using it, these games were all designed for them so you'll have a good experience.

doesn't happen much anymore, but used to happen. more people play mvc3 vs mvci, vsav1 vs vsav2, melee vs brawl, 3s og version vs patched, xvsf version 2 vs version 3, and a lot of small patches/editions like hsf2 vs st, a3 vs a3upper, a2 vs a2 gold, and I'm pretty sure people played ttt instead of t4. there's more examples but im not posting them.

but you are correct that most people will be moving on to strive.

try everything if you can and get what you like. people win championships on pad and games work much better on pad now than they ever did before. I find stick to be the most fun, but it's true that hitbox gives you a clear advantage over stick.

also everyone I know who has tried gg2020 says it feels and plays like a gg game so you aren't wasting your time playing xrd. xrd is fun.

I kinda wish more games had BBTag's damage because I can be like "when in the gently caress did I play multiple hundred games" and still want to play more.

Plus, I can keep doing dumb poo poo for science like using Cross Slash against any incoming super in a clutch and it won't matter because I'll be back in another match pretty quickly if it succeeds or fails (I'm looking at you Mr. Get Ready for The Next Battle)

Hitboxes are cool if you think you'll like it, you can set up a layout real close to what using one feels like with a keyboard, so maybe try that out for fun.

Also shop around if you want an obsidian, you can easily find them way cheaper than $160, I even got one for $100 from a dude who had a never used SCVI one gathering dust still-in-box off a stick sell/swap group.

Why is it that even very strong connections with WiFi still are inadequate for net play? After moving I can’t play on an Ethernet connection despite having a Powerline. I’m in the basement, the other Powerline on the second floor, and the connection is beyond terrible.

Also, has there been any new info about Samurai Shodown on the PC?

It's the way that it's moving data, wi-fi is pretty much always gonna be less stable to some part due to how it works, more tiny losses in comparison to a hard wire even when it's still being good usually.

Also KK clarified a time or two now that SamSho PC is in fact coming and he's allowed to say that, but the date's still under wraps, so it's still partially in the dark, but at least we know stadia didn't just eat it now.

They also run monthlies out at bankstown on most months York Street battles isnt running, though they tend to be a bit smaller.
Theres also this place out in merrylands https://twitter.com/battlekatbunker which has a pretty decent scene, though youd want to check before you turn up as attendance can vary a bit and it can occasionally be dead, or open up early but be empty till 8pm. Theres also first round esports in ashfield and cognitive gaming in the city, but i dont know when they run events or how easy it is to get games there.

information between players is sent in "packets" that contain things like the game state and inputs. when you play via wifi some of the packets get lost in transmission just due to things like radio interference or environmental fluctuations, much like how your radio will sometimes get tiny amounts of static from things like electronic devices being nearby or the signal bouncing off of people walking around.

I've been trying to play Akatsuki in BBTAG 2.0 and while I dig how he feels "superpowered" compared to in UNIST (214B crosses the screen, his projectiles move far faster, he's way more mobile, etc) I'm having a lot of trouble getting used to him because he's my main in UNIST so I keep accidentally hitting the wrong buttons or trying to do moves and combos that don't work in BBTAG. I've only just started messing around so I'm sure this will go away soon, but it feels really weird right now.

His English voice is really not great, even beyond the absolutely horrible voice direction BBTAG has (Listen to Yosuke, for example. Or Kanji, where they apparently didn't tell Matt Mercer the context for any lines so his "Ya want some?!" attack has him just casually asking if the opponent does, in fact, want some). I feel like Patrick Seitz might've been a good choice, since he can nail that type of character and really knows how to do some yells, but he already voices Ragna which I guess disqualifies him.

Thank you for listening to my voice actor opinions, please stay tuned for a future post where I will discuss why Jamieson Price is the best despite mostly just using the same voice for everything.

Dinkledge in Destiny 1 is always the best example, they gave him no context whatsoever on his lines, so he did what they wanted, completely nothing dry line reads.

I think they got a lot of good voice actors with some really good casting choices, but it seems like something was wrong with the process - probably the voice actors not being given enough context for lines and some other weirdness. Kaiji Tang is normally great but he still sounds off in BBTAG.

That said, even though I complain about it I still use it for almost all characters and there's a lot I like about it. For example, I get english Ragna back and I can avoid subjecting myself to japanse Teddie. Being able to toggle between English and Japanese voice acting on a per character basis is wonderful.


Hey, while we're talking about BBTAG stuff that doesn't involve actually playing the video game, why does Blitztank have no interactions? I've never actually played Akatsuki Blitzkampf myself, but my understanding is that the playable Blitztank at least partially regained its memories as a human and then turned on its creators, right? So it's not exactly a soulless machine. I don't expect it to talk or anything, but it's still strange none of the other characters will at least comment on it.
