Damn, ya'll stay crushing my hopes and dreams right after I post.
There are worse things. I just found out Jack-O is supposed to weigh 99 fucking pounds at 5'5". Now that shit right there is more unbelievable than a 300 year old tween.
Xrd was around that amount within the first month of launch on PS4 too.
I liked how that part was delivered. Too bad the trailer showcasing his tools looked really bad.

That looks dope, lol.
I love Pocket Fighter, myself.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with DoA because of that character. I worry what it means for the future of the franchise when that is so popular.

maids are fun, wheres my blazblue maid, we only have a butler
Coming back to make a correction... that was the third month of launch
Also it didn't have all the DLC bundled like it does here
Also the PS4 version is not compatible with nearly every arcade stick and gamepad released in the past 15 years
Maids are fun indeed. There's nothing wrong with maids that can fight, it's funny.

I need to hear his laugh before he can be a One Piece villain.
From the Mizuumi wiki:
I'm not familiar enough with the game to know what is representative of high level play for him, so someone else will have to help you there. This might help give a general idea though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrtt3ibhAus&feature=youtu.be&t=26m12s

Oh damn. Well I guess that's what happens when you classify something as a bomba initially and try to recall.
I only briefly remember watching some Melty Blood arcade footage and it looked like fighting Nero was an immense pain in the ass
Like no one could touch him

Seriously? That's a shame. I know a lot of people are really digging how 5 plays, and there's no reason to think 6 will backtrack on anything. I guess Hayashi went to far throwing Marie in though. I don't like her, her blank stare creeps me out, but she probably is the future.
There will probably be kid versions of Kasumi and Ayane in 6 lol
Itagaki would never have added Marie
It's an immense pain in the ass just because he can get kinda derpy and get away with it if you aren't on point. At high level players deal with him because dead zones and shit, but it's still obnoxious looking.
No stop
Yeah, the outfits are getting way too creepy, and then they put her on DoAX, so now I don't even want to look at threads about the game because I just don't want to see a little girl in a bikini.
It is a shame since I love the series, but I'm not down with that future.

There's been a few games (Blazblue) that I immediately wrote-off on aesthetics and character design alone.
...But I'm also planning to main R. Mika, so I'm probably a hypocrite.
This though:
Marie Rose is legitimately disgusting, and I otherwise don't even have any issues with DOA.

I love Mika for the same reason I like players like Pepeday and Itabashi Gief, they all just look like they're having fun. I love that about Mika, because that's how I feel about fighters.
That being said, as soon as I can put more clothes on Mika, I will, lol.

I mean, you could model-swap Mika for Nadeshiko and cut the bust size in half and I'd be happy with it, but on the other hand, Mika herself is so stupid that it kind of sort of wraps around to being ironically cool... or something. I dunno.

I love his first statment that just playing alot is absolute fuckery in getting better. Anytime anybody tells me that I laugh. It's a huge reason why fighting games are the size they are. What they 'should be' be damned.Remember this pic the other day?
Well he followed it up with an article.
https://mrkingfunk.wordpress.com/2015/12/04/player-perspective/
As to Marie, I would worry if they next character is another in they archetype, the fact that Honoka is thick as hell along side Lady Kstoute means nobody really knows where they are going.
Only shame about Marie to me is it gave people a good reason to snipe DOA where even if she was not in it they'd never play it.
Grant you not talking about people in this thread, but we all know these people in the FGC
Time will tell if the Marie thing goes far. As to the people saying having young Ayane and Misty, in DOA they were already that. They were always under age before 5. Hell one was actually 14 in a few games.
Haha same. R. Mika is all about the fun and not taking herself super seriously (aside from her wrestling) which is why she is a great character. But I agree, I'm anxiously awaiting her first alt costume, hopefully Capcom delivers. It could be really really bad or really really good

He's been gently nudging the fgc in the pc direction, a direction that allows for a greater number of sponsors for events. More sponsors = more money = sustainability of events. However, you could make the argument that this means more eSports-like coverage, but as long as organizers are receptive to the community, hopefully this won't happen.

I have a few responses in mind, but I want to know if you attend tournaments before I bother.
Again, the day I'm told to run a several hundred man open bracket on PCs is the day I quit or start charging real working money for the bullshit I'll have to put up with.

I love how people misread me. Thought I'd instantly pick Mika and and Laura and completely missing. Or how I never played DOAX.
Good on Ya Capcom. Love the idea will never play those characters. :E

PC definitely would be good for the money in the scene. Also it wouldnt be a hassle for tournies if developers would learn how to implement adaptive controller interpreters into their PC versions (the only reason console tournaments are easier to run)

She was so dope in NG3:RE.
There are other issues besides that, mainly monetary ones. Basically every grassroots event is having volunteers show up with consoles even to keep cost down. Even if stick swapping is fixed there are other PC related issues to deal with too.

She was 15 in that game >_>
But that's another discussion not for here. NEC is coming up I hope some of you watch the DOA portion it's kinda their capcom cup where they put in a bit on the pot bonus. Really though for DOA5 they should make Sony put some into it too make it a 100k prize purse. They unlike most other games can actually fund that shit though DLC easy.

money and stick swapping is the only real problem. And I'm more referring to large events. large events could solve the money issue with sponsors.

I can't for a second believe that there's anyone who attends FGC events who also thinks PC is a good idea for tournaments.
And I'm saying this as someone who has pretty much no intention of buying a PS4.

its definitely not right now, having to reboot a game to get it to recognize the next stick is just unplayable
You'd have to bug Curly on this since he deals with bigger stuff than me, but those would have to be some ridiculous sponsors still I'd think, and you're edging out any grassroots stuff due to parity. If we wanna play events on PC and go that route, we'd basically have to concede having large open events outside of whatever the esport that's being sponsored is.

Only people thinking pc is a good idea is the people who want easy sponsorship deals adpating old methods to fit the games. Personally I'd like a fighting game to build it's own thing and never have to use other things. PC market can't really mix with fighting games.
My PC randomly won't allow two sticks to work in SF4, but work fine for every other fighter. Not all the time. Just randomly. Then we just have to restart it until the sticks work.
I'm imagining a situation where we have to troubleshoot every little problem that might happen with PC, especially since they wouldn't be uniform, and...no.
Not a good idea.

PC gaming has a ton of overwhelming advantages but affordability and ease of use are definitely not among them
I'd use a PC over a console for just about everything when it comes to personal use, but I wouldn't wish it on anybody to set up a dozen PCs for multiple games at a fighting game tournament that needs to run properly and on-schedule for hundreds of people. Esports events just need to set up 10 PCs for the main stage and they fuck it up all the time

I've attended a couple, NWM the last 2 years. But I'm not a huge competitor, I mostly play casuals.
No doubt that consoles are more convenient for tournaments, I can't argue with that. But I feel that the comunity needs a little diversification in the area of sponsors for the long term. If Madcatz goes belly up, or decides to stop sponsoring events, who will be there to pick up the slack?
Not looking to pick a fight with anyone here, just saying what's on my brain, I could be totally wrong about this. If you speak your mind, I won't insult your taste in anime or anything.

They don't need to mix to make them a profit. Hell look at KoeiTecmo they shit out pc releases just for pure profit.

I havent looked into what sponsorships will do, but I know they will cover a lot. Enough systems to run a major FGC event? dunno. Im just looking at what the benefits would be. Sponsorships and universal stick support are very nice, it would also allow setups to be reused for more games, and it wouldnt get in the way of grassroots events running on consoles.
Still, as long as stick swapping is fucked up its a moot point

There are ways you could do the "little kid" character archetype without pandering. If you've ever seen Golden Child, someone like a young Dalai Lama would be awesome.
I wish YouTube would have a feature to help us sort gameplay videos by skill level. I hate that I look up "[character] gameplay" and single player stuff is almost always the first to show up.
Thanks, man.
Agree 100% about the little girl fighters. I have plenty of fighters to play without subjecting myself to that crap.
I wasn't going to buy it, but 23 bucks for 4k Xrd with all colors and DLC? Sold.
Marie Rose is better than most of that stuff.
Totally believable. I know a girl that is 5'6" and 98 pounds.
Elphelt is basically a maid outfit. BlazBlue will get Mai, who has insinuations of that archetype.
BOSS, thank you!

What do you even mean when you say "universal stick support," though?
Just from running the SF5 beta with friends, every new goddamn stick that was plugged in required another driver download before Windows would even do anything with it.
