Just having multiple full-featured characters fighting in completed engine is way further down the line then some of you folks think it is and that was shown off months ago. I'd assume Project L is probably aiming for Worlds '22 full reveal if they're ramping up public display of it now with launch somewhere in the following six months.

The character reveal they just put out didn't even have any footage, just concept art. They don't even have a name yet! Seems like they'd have to be playing things extremely close to the chest for a launch any time soon

The devs seem pretty explicit that things are still in early production, I really see no reason to assume they're lying

Rivals 2 had a reveal in April with full gameplay including new mechanics and three characters, and Dan "Based" Fornace says it's coming out in 2024. Things can be shown quite early and look "finished" when they're anything but

The confusion is probably furthered by the fact Valorant took a lot less time from reveal to release.

i think they announced it early because it was the worst kept secret in the world and they wanted to hire people for it

Also half of fgc Twitter was hyping themselves into the stratosphere that riot would present at Evo and the open beta would be right after an so on and so forth. So I'd imagine getting out in front of that before people go too crazy is helpful

That being said, I wouldn't be shocked to see a closed alpha/beta with 3 or 4 characters announced at worlds for the winter/early 2023. Similar to how SFV ran their early tests. Especially since they said they've been playing it online throughout the whole development in the first video with COVID and all

Sunday will be the reveal of Marie The Final Skullgirls Character. In the meantime HVS has at least finished all 6 of Black Dahlia's ammunition types and that will be playable at the event.

There's Normal grenades, buckshot, flame rounds, freeze rounds, Lightning rounds, and a freaking laser shell. Also shown is another of her Level 1 supers which will allow her to load any rounds in the order of the player's choosing if they hit the corresponding button within the right window, otherwise it's chosen for them. So that's kind of crazy and I can't wait for that patch to drop properly.

Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
Recently I was buying the 30th Anniversary Street Fighter Collection for convenience on my Xbox One S and was pleasantly surprised how good it looks and plays. Encouraged I also bought six ACA NeoGeo games published/made (you know what I mean) by the Japanese developer HAMSTER, hoping to have a good experience as well. But on the XBox you cannot even use the menus properly. Every third to fifth time you jump from one menu option to another it registers two inputs and jumps one place further than it should. How the heck can you screw up a simple menu?

Sadly you cannot choose the BIOS of the game either so it is always the arcade machine (how do you do versus games with a friend that way?), though you can choose the English or Japanese ROM and there is a "Caravan" mode which is basically "survival" for some fighting games.
Lastly the games look kinda bad. You can choose no filter, slightly blurred or blurred with scanlines which do not look all that nice compared to the old Street Fighter game, no matter which I choose.

Sorry for ranting, it just blows my mind that a company is selling games that all have the same fault, barely working menus, and gets away with it. No review mentions this as far as I know and I only found one support ticket. Is the emulation on the PS4/5 and Switch better? I'm not an emulation snob or someone counting frames. Ah well.

Defend the North early bird registration is up:

$60 venue fee for the super early bird registration isn't bad, there's some cheap hotel rooms still available as well. Really wish they were going to have BBCF there, but hey it's a good excuse to keep playing KOFXV. Been playing melee a bit again as well so I'll see how badly I get 3 stocked in person lol

The PS4/Switch versions don't have that specific menu issue but they're just as basic. Being locked to the MVS ROM is a SNK thing, apparently getting them to agree to AES ROMs is easier said then done for some stupid reason.

Hamster only released a fraction of their catalogue on XB, years later than PS4/Switch, so yeah, I think so few people bought them that the menu bug wasn't ever addressed.

It's been updated to run in 16:9 with a training mode, rollback netcode, art/music gallery and the usual trimmings. It'll be out this winter on Steam, Xbone/Series, PS4/5 and Switch. No word on price yet.

My game's launch discount ends tomorrow, so today's the last day you can save a buck: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1492750/Mega_Knockdown/

Mega Knockdown and a dozen or so other indie fighting games will be briefly featured on the main EVO stream and the EVO main stage around 1PM tomorrow, which is exciting. EVO will also be an indie FGC round table at 3:30 tomorrow with the Punch Planet guy and a few others. I think it's pretty cool that they're doing this for the small devs. They invited me to come out there and exhibit, but it was too short notice for me to board my dogs.

It's not specific to Japan, it's just not available in Asia for the moment. It looks like it's just an issue of priority. They wanna get the game in a stable state before they start investing in new servers.

A third Mortal Kombat Legends animated movie has been announced. This time it's about Kenshi and an elderly Sub-Zero teaming up against the Black Dragon, including all the obscure members like Kobra, Kira and Tremor.

In other news, a KOF15 team profile is up for the Awakened Orochi team, confirming that Goenitz was also resurrected.
