melty comes out on Steam tomorrow and I've been trying to re-learn junk but man this game is mechanically dense

it's still a ton of fun though, I'm thrilled it's finally getting a convenient PC release with hopefully good netcode.

watch any f-vakiha match with GO1 and you'll see why the character is stupid good: http://www.meltydb.com/resultall.php?1c=VAkiha&1m=Full&tdb=cl

besides having a billion traps and good ways to convert into really advantageous situations all around, she's a loving tank

her guts rating is super loving good for some reason

I'm like 90% certain you mean just regular Tohno Akiha, because VAkiha's health is among the lowest in the game, while just Akiha has one of the best in the game.

F-Akiha is pretty good, but I dunno about "stupid good". Quite good, but you can do dumber in Melty.

It's by French Bread right? It looks like RBO which is a sick game so it's probably badass

Yeah, it's a French Bread game but it's pretty legit good. It's got parries so brian should obviously love it, it's got a variety of completely ridiculous and initially incomprehensible system mechanics which is how you know it's a french bread game, poo poo like "light attacks cannot kill and will make a combo unable to kill unless you are in In-Fight Mode but still only heavies can actually KO." and I'm gonna be honest I still know what the essential differences are between In-Fighter, Out Boxer and Old Style are but it's fun, it's fast, you can play mindgames and you probably won't play another fighter quite like it

the biggest actual problem the game has besides being mechanically dense and hard to read at a glance is that the way the game handles Guts is completely loving retarded. On the one hand, it means matches are never over until they are actually over, which is tense and cool, but on the other, it reeks of bullshit when you land three or four good combos to slam your opponent down to one health and they land one good clean counter-hit and literally 100-0 you because it scales damage according to your health when the combo started and being on low health makes you do more damage so anyone on the magic pixel can straight up 100-0 the other guy off a clean hit but only if the other guy is on 100, if they're at like, 40 or something, the combo probably won't quite do it. Figure that poo poo out.

i have played indie games made years ago that had proper support for DirectInput and XInput with no issues, Capcom really has gently caress all excuse on that one.

and so does every other oval office in this industry that considers only supporting XInput acceptable. gently caress you all and the horse you rode in on.

It's the absolute nuts, though I'd love to take a trip down to Violent city sometime, looks fantastic from the pictures.

I went there once and it was ok. Lot of the machines were partially defective, and patrons did utterly retarded poo poo like pump infinite credits into games like Simpsons Arcade and then walk away from the machine leaving a game in progress with 80 something lives that would need to be exhausted to start again, but I still had fun for the day I went. I dunno if I'd go as a regular thing if I was local like I am with HoG though.

How long ago did you go? They got a bigger place this year (twice the size), and run FG specific events with Manchester Battle Arena on the regular now.

Might've been late last year when I was living in Preston for university stuff. Was kind of a loving journey to get there.

and yeah there were a few broken machines, like the SoulCalibur cabinet (which is super awesome to have) had a completely dead button and that's depressing because I wanted to play fightmans with the group I went with, but they were pretty light on fighting games in general? They had SoulCalibur with the dead button, EX which is fun for a lark but not a great game and some Street Fighter 5 on the ps4s in the back but that was it, really.

i ended up playing point blank 1 and 2 for like three hours because point blank is loving rad but some of the other lightgun games I tried to play with friends, one of the guns was miscalibrated which made it hard to play together.

e; oh yeah they also had an Indy 500 machine I think that was TOTALLY hosed let me go find the picture I took of that because seriously what the gently caress

e2: Found it on my twitter, also gave me an exact date of when I went. May 15th this year.



they also had an OutRun special edition that just entirely didn't work at all

The only fighting game I actually played with friends at the place was loving Karate Champ which my friend amazingly actually had some sort of idea how to play and I didn't so I got loving rused hardcore and lost a lot and it's like seriously of all the games to have some idea how to play

Also, the LoL fighting game won't ever be big. I am no expert but I'm fairly sure the biggest reason MOBAs are huge is that you never have to realize that you are bad -- it's someone else on your team, that guy over there in fact, gonna call him human being, that will show them. A fighting game would destroy this misconception so hard those people won't even try it.

I used to believe this argument until Hearthstone came along and buggered up the idea that masses of people won't take to 1v1 games because it would cause them to realise they're poo poo.

bads gonna bad, but Hearthstone still lacks a team to blame which has long been the crux of the argument that a fighting game can't be popular because bads would have nothing to blame. They will find something to blame regardless, even in a fighting game.

Casuals aren't buying or still playing SF5 because the matchmaking sucks, the economy sucks, the roster's weird and there's no meaningful single-player content aside from the story mode that I assume must suck because noone ever talks about it.

When they say MVC will be more casual I assume they'll add more single-player or metagame systems.that they can overload with microtransactions.

I watched the story as a YouTube compilation with friends on a voice call and we laughed at it. This is probably the ideal way to experience the story because it removes the obscenely obnoxious loading time from the equation and you can all laugh at the ridiculous nonsensical events happening before you.

Story's not great, random bullshit happens, people fight, it's got some amusing moments in it but otherwise it's a lot of nothing

Mobas. Well, sort of. It was a big problem in league of legends for a while that one of the optional spells any character could take was 'flash' that just blinked you some distance in any direction, because it's such a strong ability that it was mandatory for every character and the meta warped sound it. They nerfed it and the game was better for it.

either the game changed significantly over the past few months or something because last I checked Flash was still basically completely mandatory due to being an incredibly strong global movement option.

e; just checked the patch notes and the last time Flash was changed was ages ago and it was mandatory before that change and it's still mandatory after

Michael Murray said that Kuma's outfit is his Tekken Force outfit. I know nothing about Tekken so maybe it's from a previous game's Tekken Force mode, but I took it to mean the upcoming game will have a Tekken Force mode in which certain people have a unique costume.

It likely refers to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCMGjuN6p4c&t=1592s

regarding japans direction on SF speed, capcom tried to revert a lot of speedy stuff from HF with Super SF2 and everyone hated it. ST was a last ditch effort after capcom basically destroyed the arcade scene they had built up with the release of SSF2. luckily even though ST had a bunch of pro-newbie mechanics like throw softens it still got a big following

Man calling throw softening a "pro newbie" mechanic feels so weird in light of the fact I haven't played a fighting game in forever without outright throw teching.
