It's pretty hard to be successful as a game that's similar to Smash. You don't have the decade and a half of history as a franchise and probably don't have as emotionally charged of a roster. Plus Smash is just a really good game, so it's hard to significantly improve on the formula in a way that will draw normal people to it. I can guarantee my roommates and friends would ask "why not just play Smash?"
I don't know much about Rivals of Aether besides what you can ascertain from watching the first video Steam plays on its page. It feels pretty stiff. A lot of that may have to do with the art style, since it's easier to make bouncier, more energetic and fluid animation in 3D models than in pixel art, but that's no excuse. Towerfall is a great example of a pixel art game which still feels extremely fluid and alive from the many subtle background animations to the secondary interactions with environment objects to the squash and stretch of the character sprites.
I'm not going to pretend I would be good at designing a fighting game, and I'm not wishing anything bad on this game, but it doesn't look very interesting to me.
Right! I love watching EVO and other tournaments, especially when the commentary is there to help you make sense of it. It's just not something I'm good at nor have enough time to dedicate towards understanding it.
Dedede is a funny character, and I appreciate anyone who can play him well. My mains are Lucina and Samus.
I'm absolutely getting my butt kicked 100%, but I'm still excited to play it.
It helps that I have a local place that holds tournaments every week, so I may actually practice a lot more than anticipated.
You know, I wish I had this attitude about it. The problem is that I don't get upset with losing, I get upset at not understanding. If someone defeats me and I can understand how or why they have, then I congratulate them and try to figure out whether I can play better next time. If I lose and I don't understand why or how to play better, then it pisses me off and I'm liable to rage.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Whoa, sounds cool. I'll check it out! I wonder how he manages to spend twenty minutes talking about squashing and stretching.

It's a tough game. Very tough. But I had a bunch of bros as my cheering section.
I thought only the start of the game was hard. Some of the chalice missions were annoying as well.

A good chunk of the video is also dissecting how busy some of the cutscene animation is, but this is actually only part 1 of the J&D discussion. The guy doing it used to work at Pixar Canada, and now does game animation up in Seattle I think, so he's very well versed in the art.
Well, a lot of my memories are influenced by the DLC, which was cruel as fuck.

I'm actually banned from using almost every character in Smash with friends.
I'm pretty much relegated to either Jigglypuff or Kirby and even using Jigglypuff is under debate.

Best way to get a song unstuck from your head? Though the song that is currently stuck is amazing. Still, I'm sure I'll need this valuable information at some point in the future.

I usually only bust out Samus when everyone else is stuck on sword fighters (which they started taking up in large part thanks to me owning them with Lucina).
But I really like that there's a huge diversity in play styles, and that not everyone is effective with every player. It helps keep things interesting.
Boo. We don't ban characters, we just turn the handicap on.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it

I just watched the whole thing. The way he dissects each animation almost frame by frame is awesome. All of his statements are very clear and the way he talks is full of energy. This guy would be a good teacher, haha.

Oh we tried that, believe me.
When I still won again and again, they started to get superstitious and started to believe that the handicap was actually helping me.
Yes, we set it correctly and no, they are not smart sometimes.
With the bolded I actually go the opposite and go close combat, it plays with their head and I can dodge fairly well so it freaks them out haha

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Captain Falcon x Toon Link x Samus x Jigglepuff are my go to mains.

Little Mac/Bowser Jr/Wii Fit Trainer/Peach/Zero Suit Samus are my top tiers
I'm still yet to try Bayonetta though, she seems right up my alley.
I strongly dislike the character design and overall aesthetic -- color choice and animation style - of the Jak games. Oy.
Mashing my spoon in this stew makes the most amazing sound effect for foley work.

I use Villager in Smash 4, despite not liking Animal Crossing as a whole.

Much to my shame, I've never played Smash. And I own Smash U too.
Hahaha! Thanks, breh. I was at a pretty high level for NG by the end. I can at least take pleasure in knowing that I died far fewer times in those final bosses than Feng did.
(And you, I'm guessing.
I'm still so angry about this. hahahahaha
I was gone for like 15 minutes and I come back and he's dead already, how many attempts did it take you?
ill fite u. bring it.
Also.
Did you watch it?

Re: SFV, probably won't be getting it at launch, I tend to get really obsessed with fighting games (I'm an incredibly competitive person) so I wouldn't even have the time to dig deep into it.
I put an unhealthy amount of time at the arcades with SFIV, considering my college at the time was literally next door to it. Those were fun times
You gotta be kidding me.
Although Moon Presence isn't TOO hard, I just fucked up too many times and not paid attention.
But goddamn, you made the other guy look like a damn chump.

He was a little bitch compared to most of the DLC bosses, to be honest. But it's okay. If you admit you sucked, it'll make you feel better.
(I'm also convinced that all of Jobbsy's slime gave me super powers.)

I'm kinda terrified of the DLC now. Especially seeing the Orphan fight, goddamn.
HEY MAN, DARK SOULS III WILL BE THE REBIRTH
I don't know why I'm so terrible at Bloodborne, DS is easy pants for me save for Capra Demon
I couldn't beat Orphan without summoning help. What a nightmare that dude was. SO STOKED FOR DSIII, MAN!
Capra is a dick.

How is online Smash these days? I remember trying it around launch with a friend who lives around the corner from me and the lag was crazy pants.
I'd be down for a couple of matches with you cats.
Lord have mercy. She also has a killer sense of humour which I find super attractive (based Comedy Bang Bang)

I liked her a lot in Community (which is the only thing I've seen her in).
More functional than SFV right now.
From what I've gathered, that's not hard to manage.

Good for Ghost to getting a Grammy, too bad they couldn't perform live on stage
I found DS2 much tougher

Tonight in hilarious Rocket League Adventures.
I totally get mad easily (at myself) when it comes to execution. That's why I typically avoid fighting games. But I'm hoping I can put the time in to really learn since this is such a small roster in comparison. Plus the only character I ever really learned (Cammy) is in.
I watched EVO closely for the first time last year (saw some of previous years here and there) and totally agree. It's so exciting.

As fun as it is to watch the EVO stream, it's another thing entirely to spectate in person and make all those bets
