That's because the dpad on the 360 controller is an unresponsive piece of loving poo poo

The Sega Saturn pad was considered one of the greatest controllers for fighting games in its relative era.

I have no clue if the claim is legitimate since i never played with it. I'm sure there are worse things you could attempt to recreate in your spare time. The Agetec Dreamcast stick is also well regarded iirc but that was not an official Sega controller

It's fine just play the game.

I just feel that it's weird to buy a fighting game and be afraid to play with others because they might be better than you. It's just a strange thing to be concerned about.

That's a fair perspective even if it's one I don't normally prescribe to

Also you would be surprised. Good players are more receptive and accepting of bad players or ones struggling to learn, at least from experience. There are real jerks on both sides of the fence but that's not anything exclusive to fighting games.

ENDER in this case would be whatever is best to end the combo with for that given character. Usually something that guarantees a knockdown while doing the most damage, or leaves them standing but at a disadvantage.

What game are you talking about?

Each Guilty Gear character was 7 bux but one of them was free for one month.

So that's 7 for one character if you downloaded the free character.

Its not weird but it is pretty lovely of NRS to let a bad porting house do a bad port job and gently caress over a segment of the people actually interested in mk.

It doesn't excuse this one but at the risk of sounding like I'm victim blaming, you guys really should have known better.

Why should they know better? Because MK loving sucks?

Well yes, I agree. But the port should still be acceptable for the people that actually like and are interested in MK.

Twitch is fickle and retarded. Justin Wongs viewership exploded once he started mugging it for the camera and taking on the personality of other people on Twitch (overreacting to everything).

The quality of play didn't change and it rarely seems to be a factor wrt who gets lots of views. People just want shallow theatrics.

But it's not really worth caring about. Unless you're perfect legend ayyyy lmao

Justin was way more chill and just as insightful before he started streaming MKX, and then he started mugging it for the cam on MkX and he got a huge surge of viewership. Perfect Legend is wrong in his complaints about Justin, and Justin is definitely free to do what he wants to make his money since its not really hurting anything. That's just the route you have to take for the MAX CPM i guess.

Also I'm entertained primarily by people playing the game well, or doing things i can't do. I find the personality (whether acting or real) of most twitch streamers to be loving awful so I tend not to watch them.

Maximilian is the perfect example of this. He's garbage at everything he touches and has a personality of complete dogshit. So where's the value? That's just me though, and none of this matters.

Chilldog and I already covered every potential avenue of conversation regarding maximilian. Thank you for your input, but I am very content to not be apart of his viewership for a lot of reasons.
