When's Startropics U?

Oh god Mike Jones made me a gamer. Startropics U would make me buy a Wii U TODAY.

Look to the skies for the Southern Cross...

Heart growing three sizes bigger with posts like this. I feel you especially Juicebox, never got Zelda as my NES adventure game, got StarTropics (second game I ever played in life behind SMB+Duck Hunt) looking at those cool inserts they'd package in the NES boxes and getting hype because the setting looked so cool and "OMG giant octopus boss".

I'd play Skullgirls but Beowulf and Eliza aren't out yet :'(

I'll probably get back into it after Evo and the PC beta is out.

Squiggly gonna hold it down for me until based Eliza. Still need Annie for my obnoxious (but not stupid) sword dude(ette) quota though. MVC3 Dante has made it so I can't play non-jack-of-all-trades with wide arc buttons. :lol
 
I think you're taking the comparison too literal. The point is if your game is going to be "the biggest game in the fgc" like Sabin wants it to be, then most of that will happen organically. Overall you and many others are putting too much weight in one weekend event, just because things weren't picture perfect. I think it's pretty funny how so many guys are on tilt for a game that wasn't even an Evo game until a couple of weeks ago. But luckily for you guys there are many events each year, and the viewing audience for streams is fickle/forgettable enough to the point where the previous major doesnt mean nearly as much as the most recent one.

Marvel never started off as a black sheep of fighting games. Hahaha, okay we'll just have to agree on to disagree on this one.

When did I say that streams were going to automatically create an audience for a game? You putting words in my mouth now? It's about giving a game that's currently drawing a good amount of stream watchers and sign ups a better timeslot than what a niche japanese game would get.

Secondly, ahahaha do you actually think Marvel was some shunned game when it came out?
 


someone asked if anime players are second class citizens and he's saying they need to be more proactive about promoting their shit.

and going in on people excited for Guilty Gear who think it'll magically revive anime games. said if it's anything like old GG, they'll give up very quickly.
 
And now we've got some real talk about people being lazy about training up on ChrisG, letting him take every tourney.

Truth! So much patch talk nowadays.

I have a boxed copy of the game with Dr.J's letter completely dry and undipped. I'm saving it for a special occasion, like my wedding or possibly my funeral.
 
THIS is the Spooky I've missed for MONTHS now. Holy fuck, all of the shots have been fired.

GGXrd is being toned down to be more accessible.

Then again they consider BB more accessible and I personally think it's harder to learn than GG :lol

Yeah.

Sp00ky was mainly going off about the community and not necessarily the games. He sorta said no one in the anime community is doing what he did for Melty Blood and Arcana Heart 2 back in his days as a competitor and a TO of sorts.

I wish if I knew where my copy of the letter is. I just have the box, a few pages from the instruction manual, the cart and the sleeve for it. I played my games hard back then although I did respect their boxes and some materials in them.

Also, no surprise who's in my GAF avatar now. (Been there since 2009 or so.)

Was he away? Spooky always bring the real talk to the table

True, maybe I just slowed down with stream monstering but something about tonight sounds like he has the fire in him.
 
He was just going on how about EMP took Toronto free and had to lie to MTV (?) about making it look like Canada actually won some games or something.
 
Yeah.

Too bad sp00ky doesn't realize that it ain't that simple.
 
Chris doesn't seem to understand that LoL, DOTA, SC2 outsell/get downloaded compared to fighters about 10:1. The money he wants isn't there in this genre.

He isn't making a whole of sense actually...lol

Come on man, im pretty sure that Spooky knows what he is talkin' about.

Adulthood is scary. I'm 25, and I have no clue what im gonna do with my life. Probably waste it on videogames, but hes realizing that his talent isn't being rewarded as much as it should be.
Thats what i did.
Im a Game Developer
