Gonna play Stardew Valley till Alex/march update.

So you are playing an anime game.

There are anime mods for every game tho.

So is everything anime?

Rachel Morris is such a great artist. I love her stuff.

 

[mbpm1]

That's a great poster but I can't quite tell what I'm looking at

So you are playing an anime game.

Its animal crossing plus creating an optimized pipeline while balancing social obligations. I almost opened up an excel doc then realized how close it was to doing my actual job.

No thanks!

 

[Lostconfused]

Yeah it took a while to process what I was looking at.

play factorio and take it to the next level, brother

so basically you're 75% of the way to playing Persona

play factorio and take it to the next level, brother

that game is legitimately terrifying

 

[mbpm1]

Factorio looks like a dystopian nightmare where I'm an assembly worker

...Should probably try it out

 

[CO_Andy]

Is that poster new, cause i really want to see SKill commentate SF again.

you are an assembly worker but you assemble factories. it's pretty cool

 

[mbpm1]

whoaaaaaaaa

that sounds deep

 

[notworksafe]

there's a giant bomb quick look that is worth checking out if you are interested. when played correctly, the game should be almost completely automated heh

[Lostconfused]

That seems a lot more boring and sterile than real life assembly lines. Where the engineer screwed up so the machine spits out things backwards but it's too expensive to fix it so some poor schlob gets paid minimum wage to stand there and flip things around the right way.

Am I missing something? That's not an infinite. Is the reset unblockable or something?

post-final round roundtable with scott popular, infiltration, tokido and sonicfox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rBmCf31xcg&feature=youtu.be

it's pretty neat and i wish more people would do this.

bornfree has another roundtable involving the 3 players but more comprehensive.

they talked about reasons why they chose their respective mains, most feared players/characters, the shimmy & overhead game, a bit on the scene in america and many more. great watch if you have 20 minutes to spare

So...what do you guys think about the results of the tournament particularly America still being the bridesmaid?

you need to explain whats going on in that video

No surprise there

 

[pixelish]

despite same release day/no arcade release/great netcode so no barrier to access, etc, some of y'all need to realise the players from asia are simply more talented in fighting games than their western counterpart.

 

[skLaFarebear]

So...what do you guys think about the results of the tournament particularly America still being the bridesmaid?

Nationally, nothing really surprising. America got humbled.

As for the individual players, Haitani is much better than I thought he'd be and I was really impressed with which American players made it into top 8. Brent/Nando/SonicFox are all really good.

 

[BiggNife]

Also Shadow Mewtwo is basically the Seth of Pokken

He does tons of damage but if you get like two combos in he's done

 

[Beats]

It doesn't really show it in the video, but it's a very easy blockstring infinite setup.

 

[Nightii]

My bad, the link doesn't show it, but that sequence is a blockstring infinite, it doesn't cause guard break.

Technically it can't truly go on forever because of chip damage and because Shadow Mewtwo spends his own life bar for specials, but still kinda wonky, I guess.

 

[Infinite]

No surprise there

Hmm I guess. I wasn't expecting an American to take the tournament (I thought Kazunoko or Tokido was gonna take it tbh) but they got humbled for sure.

some of y'all need to realise the players from asia are simply more talented in fighting games than their western counterpart.

That's bullshit. I don't think Asian players are inherently predisposed to be better at fighting games than everyone else lol.

Nationally, nothing really surprising. America got humbled.

Yeah but they got blown up in top 8 big time although Nando played really well.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

So...what do you guys think about the results of the tournament particularly America still being the bridesmaid?

i always thought nothing was going to change with how americans place in tournaments featuring a large number of international players.

getting "early access" also didn't change a thing.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Yeah but they got blown up in top 8 big time although Nando played really well.

They're good, but no one expected any of them to be near Infiltration/Haitani/Tokido's level anyway.

 

[pixelish]

That's bullshit. I don't think Asian players are inherently predisposed to be better at fighting games than everyone else lol.

i'm not saying they're inherently talented but more like their 'work ethic' or how they approach fighting games is what propelling them above western players. idk, maybe this is more of a cultural thing.

 

[Infinite]

Yeah I'm of that thought. I don't know what exactly they're doing differently but it's working.

 

[sixteen-bit]

He might just be hosting the Ricki interview, but I'd love to see him commentate too.

 

[call_kotaku]

Tokido brings up a point I haven't considered though, which is that all the top Japanese players are over 30. US is getting new blood but maybe Japan isn't, won't matter for this game but might for the next one.

 

[peter0611]

You probably shouldn't have used the word talented then, since most people associate that with being "naturally good". Their general success (as a group, not individuals) has to be attributed to culture. The way they approach fighters is definitely superior, and having a strong arcade scene just pushes it further.

Kaz is under 30, but he's getting there, not exactly new blood.

Between the arcade scene being harder to break into for new players than playing online at home, and the lack of interest in home consoles in Japan, it's really not looking good for them.

I love when they asked SonicFox if he's going to NCR.

"I have school" lmaooo

Tbh I already feel like Japan will be overall weaker without arcades. No matter what it feels like America won't be seeing them at their peak even though the top will still be top.

From KoF thread, Leona's hair animation, simple as it is, looks way better than any hair animation in SFV:

Jebailey deleted his Facebook post. The info is out already, what will that do?

still unimpressive where it counts, though

Agreed, it doesn't seem to go bonkers like SFV hair does lol.

Give her a shirt, though.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

its not just hair in SFV though....karin's skirt is hilarious

shirts suck

 

[Lostconfused]

Cloth physics just don't work. Should have used pre baked animations.

America wins via waiting for everyone else to turn into dinosaurs.

A real American victory
