there's that very real feeling when you get that basic skillset down though and can just body all your friends and its not fun to play local anymore, though :[
MVC2 on xbox live is the game that taught me "holy shit people play these games a certain way" and I had to adapt or get crushed and soon enough I could hold my own but alienated my friends that I played with :[ :[
there's always exhibition matches with buds online, though if you're willing to be open minded and learn some things~

Don't have an arcade stick for XBone/PS4. Will prolly scoop PC version on sale.
Tekken 7 is prolly the next fighter I legit want to try but even then, I know that I won't put the effort in.

Goddamn I miss the early days of Xbox Live. Such a happy place, honestly.
Abandon your stick, play for fun...

Erg, yeah Tekken's pretty infuriating, just too many characters. I got to the first colorful emblem in T6 online with Anna and called it a day. TTT2's an embarrassment of riches though, a great package, loved the returning Kunimitsu.

For what it's worth, PS3 sticks will work with MKX on PS4.
Though I'll be using a controller. I much prefer it to stick for MK games. Makes more sense with the block button for me.

This further adds to my argument that
Orton
There is no difference between him and Big Show. Maybe he wrassles better, but not good enough for me to care or for him to be in big matches that take his character anywhere. He has done it all already.
He really gains nothing from beating
Kidd/Cesaro

Isn't Big Fat Dave Mastiff on TNA's roster?

TTT2 is a lot of fun. Just never play to win. That's my credo. Play for fun, not to win.
Apparently the Xbox One version of MKX has some slight performance issues (couldn't hit 1080p)
I'll be on MKX on PS4 - dibs on Johnny Cage

I found very little to enjoy of SF4 after Super. MK at least will be fun to look at. SFV doesn't look good to look at at all, heh.
This will make me sound like a filthy casual but I prefer NetherRealm's last couple of fighters over what Capcom has put out. NetherRealm actually found a way to make decent single player modes in a fighting game, there's actually a ton of content under the hood (even with their shitty DLC practices), and I don't need to have a PHD in Animation & Frame Analysis in order to simply be competitive online. All in all NetherRealm's last few entries have been more fun than Capcom's.
Uhh John Cena
got laid out after his match
Plus this match happened just now:
Ziggler vs Neville

I agree if you don't want to take it online. That single player content lasts a week or so, then it's a less fun game to me. Even ignoring the region locked online, I don't think it's a fun game to play against other people in any setting.
Don't get me wrong, it still puts 9 hugely above all its trash tier previous installments, but I don't find it fun mechanically.

Ew. Even if playing for fun, I need a stick. Play all the old and new fighters this way.
Last great 2D fighter is still Arcana Heart 3 Love Max.
I agree, it just feels right. I have a wireless stick now so it would be shit if it was competitive, but playing a fighter with a stick, just feels good like a steering wheel to a driving game.

It is casual, but at the same time, I get so much more out of fighting games now when people play for fun vs playing to win. It used to be the other way but it ain't worth it.

Haha, nice. I saw someone took a photo of Mastiff, Damo O'Connor & Zack Gibson all suited and booted outside of the arena this morning.
Nope, he took part in their British Bootcamp 2 show, but only Grado & Mark Andrews were signed.
I can totally understand why some people don't like the NetherRealm games, they do play a bit more stiff than Street Fighter or Marvel. That and NetherRealm desperately needs to hire new people to design their female characters.
But yeah, MK9 is such an upgrade over the last few trash entries that it's kind of mind boggling how much of a 180 the franchise made.
For me MK9 and Injustice were both a pretty well done balance of "i can play this for fun and not give a shit" and also "i can play this to win" and also enjoy myself. I don't get to have that switch very much in online games.

I just really, really wish we would get Injustice 2. The first one was fan fucking tastic but I want more costumes and more characters. Especially this motherfucker, Atrocitus:
They need to stop making Reptile look like an actual reptile and go back to being a green ninja. Seriously, almost every Reptile design post MK4 has found a way to become more awful than the last.

Fuck.
Yes.
And even though Injustice went a little overboard with Batman specific characters, I really want a straight up Terry McGinnis Batman in the game.

Pretty sure it's going to happen. There was an interview with the writer of the comic who casually dropped a "when the next game hits" when discussing future storyline stuff.
Personally I'd rather have a full console version of WWE Immortals but I guess that can wait.
Red Lanterns are sweet. I'm a fan of the Orange Lantern / Larfleeze. That guy clings to his lantern more than Cena clings to the spotlight.

Larfleeze is super cool too, but he can't vomit blood.
I do enjoy seeing where all the DC characters would fit in. I'd love to see all the Lantern Corps represented in a new Injustice but sadly I think it hinges on if they have movies coming or not :/
Ahh this is really cool, thank you.

I don't got anything against street fighter but alpha 3 was probably the only installment I ever really liked. I just never cared for the cast of characters in the series. The guys from 3 have grown on me a bit but all the dudes added in 4 are laaammmmeee.
Injustice is really fun, a lot less stiff than MK9, I can't go back to MK9 after it actually, hah. Nice to see NRS actually get a grappler done right with grundy after they shit the bed with sheeva in MK9.
MKX still has a lot of neutral jump punches and other mechanical "MK FEEL" sort of beats to it, but with some wrinkles, so I'm hoping to enjoy it a lot.

I just want Atrocitus, Larfleeze, and Black Lantern Nekron (and maybe Guy Gardner) along with Hal Jordan and Sinestro.
And I don't care how they justify it, give me Terry McGinnis Batman and Blight.

This show is terrible besides Austin in the Rumble. Just awful. I watched this back in December and still feel the shittiness of it.

Second worst Taker moment next to his 'dying' in another Rumble (I don't remember which).
Baffling who Vince feels needs to be protected in 2015.

Test's elbow drop off the cage, awesome bump for a man his size. He did it again off the top of the Elimination Chamber pod in the December to Dismember WWE-ECW show.
That one? Triple H had another one calling Eddie Guerrero a name in Spanish, but I can't seem to find it now. He's had a lot of racial stuff while being a babyface. Worse than Hogan's "Pearl Harbor" lob to Yokozuna heading into their King of the Ring match. I still love Heenan's commentary in that match. Hulkamania is DEAD!

Well yeah.
But this Rollins feud is filler. No one's going to remember this.
Orton should be feuding with midcarder guys like Harper anyway. I dont get how people can be sick of Big Show and give Orton a pass.

Stro's fishing to get bopped agsin
When was the last time Big Show had a good match?
Full Raw spoilers. A few 2-minute matches, but the main event before the final talking segment sounds worth a watch.
4/13 WWE Raw TV taping spoilers: Ongoing coverage of the taping for tonight's television show (spoilers)
Dot Net staffer Haydn Gleed is at the WWE Raw event in London, England and is passing along the following report. Refresh the page for his latest updates.
JBL and Booker T came out to join Michael Cole on commentary. Cole was still out from the WWE Superstars tapings. The opening theme played, followed by huge pyro, which I wasn't expecting.
John Cena's music hit and the crowd erupted into boos and they sang "John Cena sucks" along with his music. Cena acted shocked by the hostile reaction. He played up to the crowd, and won some people over. He even went as far as saying he believes London should get WrestleMania. I don't think that will be shown on TV. Cena turned his attention to the U.S. Title open challenge. He said you want some come get some.
Bad News Barrett came out to a good pop. He said why should he wait to beat Bryan for the Intercontinental Title when he can face John Cena in front of the greatest fans on earth. Both men were introduced with Barrett getting a huge pop, and Cena getting huge boos...
1. John Cena beat Barrett to retain the U.S. Title.
Barrett got the early advantage as the fans chanted England. Eventually, Cena won with a second FU . Good match. Cena gave Barrett a lot, and Bad News even got to kick out of a Attitude Adjustment. The match was about ten minutes long.
Following the match, Lana walked onto stage and got a large pop. Rusev attacked Cena from behind. Lana announced that the match at Extreme Rules would be a Russian chain match...
The big screen announced Randy Orton vs. Cesaro, and Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler for later in the show...
2. Paige won a Divas Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender to the Divas Championship.
The Bella Twins sat in on commentary. The participants were Emma, Rosa Mendez, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Summer Rae, Cameron, Natalya, and Paige, who got a huge pop. However, the crowd was silent throughout the majority of the match. It came down to Paige and Naomi, and Paige won.
Paige was interviewed mid ring by Byron Saxton. After a passionate hometown promo, Naomi attacked Paige...
Another Bray Wyatt promo aired. Once again, he didn't specify who he was talking about...
Booker T interviewed Roman Reigns. He came out to a mixed response. Booker asked what his thoughts on WrestleMania were. The crowd chanted Suplex City. He said Seth Rollins did what he was supposed to do, but one day he will be champion. Roman called Big Show a giant bitch.
Big Show appeared on the big screen. He said Roman failed at WrestleMania unlike him. Show said he will knock Reigns down. The crowd chanted boring. Roman called him out and said he will shove the trophy down his throat. Believe that. Roman came across well, still not polished...
3. The Lucha Dragons beat The Ascension.
Lots of "Lucha Lucha" chants followed by NXT chants. The Dragons won in three minutes...
Big Show attacked Roman Reigns on the ramp and threw him into the side of the taxi at the top of the ramp. Show placed Roman on the top of the taxi and then climbed up and chokeslammed him onto the roof of the taxi...
4. Randy Orton beat Cesaro.
Orton won in three minutes via DQ...
Kane came out and said The Authority weren't in London. He announced that the match would continue by restarting as a handicap match...
5. Randy Orton defeated Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.
Kidd blew a spot by slipping off the top rope. Orton beat both of the tag team title holders (think about that for a second) in six minutes. It was a clumsy segment all round, but Orton hit a sweet RKO on Kidd as Kidd dove off the top rope.
Backstage Kane and Seth Rollins were talking about Rollins vs. Ziggler later. Rollins joked that he's changing the match to him against Jamie Noble. Rollins said Noble will lie down for him. Rollins pretended he wasn't afraid of Ziggler, and tried to convince Kane to get in the main event with him and lie down...
6. Dean Ambrose beat Adam Rose.
Dean won via Dirty Deeds in four minutes...
Backstage, Big Show convinced Kane to change the main event to Rollins vs. Kane. Kane finished by saying tonight he will do what's best for business...
7. Stardust beat Fandango.
Stardust won in two minutes. There's not much happening. It was basically a short match followed by a backstage skit. The show is starting to drag. After the match, fandango danced with the crowd singing his music. I don't know if that will make TV but it was pretty cool...
Backstage Bryan talked to Kane and mocked him for thinking doing something that put WCW out of business. Bryan wound him up and told him not to be a stooge, be a man...
8. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Kane.
Kane came out in a suit and got in the ring. The bell rang and Kane didn't move. Instead he took his jacket off. He took his shirt off then towered over Seth, he eventually laid down with the crowd chanting you sold out and no. Kane kicked out at two.
Noble and Mercury entered and Kane threw them across the ring. Seth tried talking to Kane, but Kane knocked him down. Seth begged off. Kane eventually chokeslammed Rollins. Instead of a Tombstone, he laid down and dropped a helpless Seth's arm over him...
9. Damien Mizdow (w/Summer Rae) defeated The Miz.
Mizdow won with a rollup in two minutes... Seriously...
The Prime Time Players made fun of Los Matadors. At one point, Darren Young said that rainbow was his favorite color. Yeah, they went there...
10. Ryback defeated Luke Harper by DQ.
Ryback won by DQ in two minutes when Harper threw a piece of the broadcast team's table at him. Afterward, Dean Ambrose came out and beat on Harper. People around me are getting fed up by the short matches...
Backstage, Naomi attempted to sound apologetic for attacking Paige, but then she laughed and said it's about "me"...
Dolph Ziggler called Kane the worlds biggest dumbass. He then issued an open challenge since he doesn't have a match anymore. Neville answered that challenge...
11. Dolph Ziggler beat Neville.
A good match. They will have better matches, but this was a good eight-minute match. After the match, Sheamus attacked both men...
Seth Rollins had a sit down promo in the ring. Rollins announced that because he won his match with Kane he gets to choose a stipulation for Extreme Rules. Randy Orton came out, and he gets to choose a stip as well. Seth's stip is that the RKO is banned. Orton's stip is for them to fight in a steel cage...
They also announced that Triple H will have a Tough Enough announcement next week...
