Fighting Games Weekly | July 1-7 | Heel turns, shattered dreams, broken cages

Finally a release date! I had a blast with Divekick at CEO. I can understand how some people may find it boring to watch, but man is it fun to play.
It's more the collective case of blue balls it's been giving people since they've been showing it off for an eternity now.
 
But those are the ones that get in your head and under your skin, affecting your game play. But when you power through the vitriol and emerge victorious it makes the pop off even sweeter.

I don't have to call someone a n-word or f-word to get under their skin. I think insulting their gameplaying is more potent. calling them such names might actually cause a real fight lol. idk it makes the community look abrasive. I have friends who love fighting games but will never play in tournament because of stuff like that :/
 
It should be but it's not. Just like this thread should just be about the games but its not.

You either lose like a hero or you win long enough to see yourself become a heel.
 
Look, i'm not a prude and saying NO SMACK TALK WHATSOEVER. I'm not that thin skinned.

I'm saying that, when you start bringing using racial slurs during the smack talk, it goes BEYOND smack talk.

Fchamp didn't get a backlash because he kept mentioning it was just a white boy whatever. But i bet you if it was Viscant telling Dieminion the same things Fchamp was joking about on screen last night it would have been a WHOLE other discussion.

but alas, this is going to change the flow of the thread, so let's talk about more fighting games. Like smash brothers.

Glad they got to patch Stream before submission too. Sure, only one person there actually knew how to play him, but it wasn't going to be long before others caught on.
 
I'm no heel, never was never will be. I am just saying it how it is.... racial, homophobic and personal remarks are passed off as smack talk in areas of heated competition and this isn't exclusive to video games either. Fights do break out and things do escalate.

Downloading MK9 on PC now. Game is 8.5 GB on steam. Shoutouts to fiber downloading at 18mb/sec ahhh
What? Did I miss something?

Fake Edit: Yep, I checked and it's there. I guess it's obvious that I don't browse Gaming that much lol.

Villains always think they're the heroes, Officer Dahbomb.
 
I'm not sure if I'd be flattered or furious if there was a twitch troll account of my. But then again I haven't seen twitch chat in months since my computer died in early April.

Whatever you say man. If you want to call someone insults beyond the game be prepared for possible consequences from beyond the game
 
Speaking of AE, is it wrong that more SF is what I'm most psyched about right now? Changes, etc?

And isn't it further wrong that, upon thinking about it while at my thinking spot (the commode), the only real change I'd want is to be able to move Focus from both medium buttons to either both light or both fierce?

(Explanation, hands are messed up, so the way I have to set up my controller means that the two mediums are the absolute hardest buttons for me to use...hence, my use of Bison).

it's perfectly ok to only care about Capcom Games.

Wouldn't that make teching throws uncomfortable for you?
 
man i REALLY hope I get in on a madcatz VS SH stick online during EVO.

This is the 3rd time I've attempted to learn stick in the past 2 years. This time I really want to, for my thumb-joint's sake. I like pad, but not if it's gonna fuck up my hands forever

If they allowed the change, I'd make it both fierce buttons. The way I'm set up it's somewhat easy to do both lights or both fierces.

Really I'd just prefer the choice of what two button combination to use. Hardlocking it to the mediums has always depressed me due to my situation.

You're only going to succeed if you give up pad entirely, no matter how badly you start losing. "I could win this if I was on pad" is the thought that ruins you.

That said, as long as you aren't contorting your thumb to hit three face buttons at once independently of each other, then your thumb might not be in serious danger. If you've been experiencing actual indications of harm, though, then yes, stop immediately.
