The Master System still sees active development in Brazil, which makes it the console with the longest lifespan and counting.

As an oldhead league player but a babby fighting game player, this just connected 2 major dots in my brain.

When Marn's name first surfaced in the pro LoL scene, my immediate thought was "I wonder how long it'll take for this guy to get banned"

So was Mike the only person on that show who didn't go crazy?

Mike Ross was the only one who did go crazy, which is why he dropped out of the public eye and lived a normal, quiet life instead.

Marn and gootecks did not go crazy because they were always scumbags from the start.

As somebody who hated Melty Blood prior to this, I actually like the feel of Type Lumina

That's my story, thanks for listening

So, a weird question about fighting game history, that I feel like someone here has the stupidly esoteric knowledge to answer:

I've heard the story at some point that tier lists were invented specifically to explain how Pet Shop was so much stronger than everyone else in Capcom's JoJo fighter. But when I raised that on Twitter, nobody seemed entirely sure; a lot of pre-2005 fighting game talk is lost. A few people (including me) remember seeing early Melee tier lists, which Pet Shop would predate, but that's the best people could figure on this.

So, is there any truth to that one? When did tier lists get invented, and what stupid thing required them!?

From a bit back, but there is a negative infinity percent chance that this is true. I distinctly remember an issue of GamePro having a tier list for Mortal Kombat 2 with an entire ten point matchup chart and overall totals for each character.

I'm sure they had this for a lot of the big name fighting games, but MK2 is the one they stands out in my head because Reptile was dead last and that made me sad as a child

It's possible that a Tier List in the letter style wasn't even informally made for a while into fighting game history, but yeah I remember stuff like this. Like, I had specifically this issue, even.




Unironically, thank you for posting this because matchup charts like this just scratch my brain in a way that I cannot describe

There's something about seeing those tinted 7s and 8s that makes me happy

I don't see how it can be helpful to have someone running their mix on you and the game is going to be rapid fire slinging

Minus! Plus! Punishable! Counter Hit! Tick Throw!

Okay but what if we mod this into a game, make it as obnoxious as possible, and then make it a mystery tournament game
