It's been so many years since i heard SKill commentate, but i still regard him as the best Street Fighter commentator. Gonna be good, unless they lock him behind some paywall again.
Man writing this much about games and not getting paid in fullSomeone wrote a love letter to Dahbomb on gaming side.

Yup, I can vouch for this. Dude even ranted at me and it was still fun LOL
this should give you an idea of how an exchange in VF goes, at any point both players have a good number of options available, it's up to the attacker to determine what option the defender will choose and vice versa.

This one of the things companies love about geek culture. So many of them are fucking zealots who will stand by any decision a company makes, no matter how unfavorable it is to consumers.
I do find it funny that the reason why that article was posted in the first place (about why you shouldn't pre-order) is because some journalist got salty they didn't get pre-release review copies.
Sure, I get the ethical reasoning behind this but an article like this should've been made years ago. But it takes making journalists angry to get something like this out there and not consumers being shafted thousand times over in the past.
Reminds me of the embarrassing "Buy DmC" articles that nerd shamed people for not supporting the game.

I'm having a hard time trying to decipher the mental gymnastics involved over the thought that pre-ordering is somehow screwing over the customer.
You work at Best Buy/Gamestop?
The problem is much bigger than "pre-orders screw over customers." Pre-order themselves are harmless but game companies develop games based around the pre-order putting in and taking away features based around it. Probably a bigger issue is the whole Season Pass non sense but all of this falls under a single umbrella stemming from the same issue. Rabid fanboys who have no self control feed into the greed machine of the corporations and it indirectly affects others who have more self control and can make rational decisions.
Ie. Bad game gets a ton of pre-orders because rabid fanboys don't know any better. Companies continue to make bad games because they get the pre-orders and keep providing more incentives to pre-order and it just continues the vicious cycle.

it assumes the customer is fully and completely retarded and incapable of making an independent decision. That is surely the case for some folks but not the majority.
Like this preorder or don't shit goes down to if you want to spend your money or not
I'm an adult I'll spend money on whatever dumb shit I want
Microtransactions are kinda nasty sometimes but i ignore it.
Some people will never understand you can ignore a majority of the things devs do these days to keep you paying

Everyone is entitled to spend money however they want but realize that the decisions of a few indirectly affect others on a more macro level. The issue is more insidious than just pre-orders screw over customers.
Getting mad because your next favorite game is loaded with microtransactions, pre-order exclusives and expensive as hell season passes? Blame it on pre-order culture. The most hilarious thing is them adding microtransactions and pre-order DLCs to remasters of old ass games than never had them to begin with!
I guess it's more appropriate to say that poorly informed and lack of self control people screw over others but the only way to get them to change is to make them more aware of pre-orders in general. That's where the whole "don't pre-order" thing comes from, because most of these people don't have the attention span to read anything bigger than that.
Not everyone is as informed about developers and publishers like this board (and even here...). They completely control the messaging up until launch and sometimes that doesn't actually match up with the game.
Not sure why some gamers are so outraged about the mere warning...
Right and this issue has started to come to a head with publishers withholding review copies until release date so no one can actually get an accurate idea of how a game will be like. You are going in blind, you are expecting the pedigree of a company or the franchise to carry.
Another issue is pre-ordering a game to play the game earlier. Again, more incentives to pre-order and it was really successful for BF1. I am actually surprised more companies don't do this, they can make some extra bank from it because the whole $60 premium is to play it day 1. There are people who would pay $100 to play a game day -10. Or in the case of BF1, pay $20 extra to play it a few days earlier.
Hell I will god damn admit it... if I could play DMC5 day -10 at $100 I would ALMOST FLINCH.
Alright enough pre-order rants for the day.

I used to work at Best Buy a year or so ago. Preorders were never a quota we had to meet, though.
That's what I figured.
Does any store actually have a pre-order quota? Legit question here, no troll.

I don't think so. Gamestop has quotas on their membership program, but not preorders...though you are supposed to push them from what I understand.

It's been nearly a decade since I've worked there, but preorder quotas were definitely a thing at Gamestop.
preordering games is cheaper than waiting to buy them and is practically risk-free; I don't understand why you wouldn't preorder a game you're remotely interested in
Preorders, PowerUp/PUR Pro membership signups, and used games are all metrics that GameStop uses to evaluate employee performance.

ROFL LMAO!
Seems like it's the combined capture stat of the hit grab moves of Spencer Grapple assist and Kidnap (on second try).
Doesn't seem worth it because you are playing two mediocre neutral assists and Phoenix Wright/Firebrand need all the help they can get in the neutral. Maybe this tech is possible with other combinations.

So far the levitate glitch can only be done with firebrand/spencer, and it only works vs certain characters. But yeah maybe more stuff will get discovered.
I last worked there maybe 4 years ago or so, and yeah, can second this.

Heh. I'd like to see that become a thing honestly. Its on its way out, and who knows we may just have had a legit rumor though likely it was just bait. Be kind of fun if the last thing that was broke as hell to meta that came out was Firebrand/Spencer/ P.Wright becoming the most OP tactic in the game.

An Ono-helmed Marvel 4 would have me at least pay attention as opposed to if Shiitsuma were heading it.
You would pay attention even if Keiji Inafune was making it. Because it's god damn Marvel.
And obviously it's not Marvel 4 tomorroe.
Because Marvel 4 will be unveiled at PSX along with DMC5 AAAAYYYY!

What did Inafune make?
Megaman games, Mighty No. 6, Dead Rising 1 and REcore.
Also started the initiative at Capcom to make more Western outsourced games that Capcom has now scaled back on because it was a god damn disaster.
He no longer at works at Capcom.
He's not even a real game director, he's like a producer and a businessman.

He made a Blanka teaser. Probably nothing substantial so don't get your hopes up.
