I don't think there's any disagreement about how Smash fans are the smelliest
to be fair I don't think any smash player has shown up to a major tournament looking like a leper

Hand warmers are the dumbest fucking thing. There's no reasonable excuse for that shit.
I always hear that that Melee players have to do it on the stream station because they're testing if their controller works with the gamecube or something.
To which I say, play on some fucking Wii's then.
And that doesn't explain Brawl, PM, 64 or Smash 4 players taking forever on that shit either.
Players do do handwarmers on stream do not respect anybody's time.

dittos and guessies though?
My gameplay impressions on DBFZ right now:
Game is pretty simple for new players, as expected. Like stated, game has auto-combos. Can even be done on whiff. Probably good for newer players since people run into things and get hit, so they get to see combos happen more frequently. Lights and Mediums are like Persona's A and B normals. Heavies feel like if you tried to give dust followups to heavy attacks. Crouch Heavy launches them upwards and then Stand Heavy is like side Dust. Then you chase after them with your homing dash which everyone knows.
Movement definitely feels more in line with the Dragon Ball Extreme Butoden game on 3DS. ASW usually has those subtleties on how a game feels, and it didn't feel like GG/BB/P4U for me at all.
Characters and assists. Assists right now feel plain. They sort of remind me of Jump Ultimate Stars, except that game had the cool bottom screen panel stuff. Most of these are just beams lol
Characters right now are pretty standardish. The characters don't feel extremely different from each other, but these are the early standard type characters. I do hope we see some with interesting mechanics later on. Nothing on GG/BB/P4 level, but something like Smash 4 would be great. I just want to see some unique stuff in these movesets.
The game definitely feels pretty accessible, but I don't know about intuitive. I clicked with P4 a lot faster, but probably because that tried to be super similar to GG and BB. I've only played 3 matches, so it's still not enough for me to get a good grasp on it. Tried my best to figure out stuff but kind of felt lost as a whole lol
The game seems pretty cool though. Honestly I'm looking forward to MvCI more in terms of gameplay. Everything else though, probably DBFZ. The game's still early and it's not like I had a lot of time with it, so the possibilities will be interesting.

No one says "guessies", rofl. That's just plain bullshit.

Playing footsies till you get them in the corner knocked down and then slapping them with a meaty does sound a bit off. Especially if you play as Nightwing who uses a stick and whose actual name is also a term for genitalia.

I have seen meaty be used in other games but it's not in the same reference as in fighting games.
Like whenever Blizzard is doing their PR lip service for their games, they usually throw in a "we wanted the game to feel really meaty" as in the the feel and weight of the game when attacks are hitting. Like when you use Exploding Palm or SSS in Diablo 3, it felt "meaty".
Other companies use meaty to describe breadth of content.

Someone at EVO a couple years ago asked me if they could do a hand warmer and I told them no. Just Say No. You should already be warmed up by the time the tournament starts anyways.
I'm guessing it evolved from "deep," but don't ask me how.
Dittos makes sense.

Footsies is bad. I wish we could get rid of that term. It's not almost sexual, it is sexual.

Beat your meat with your feet.
Seriously, sex never came to mind.

Ok, this is pretty funny. I looked up where "meaty" came from and found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/49dwou/origin_of_term_meaty/
Here's a 1994 quote from alt.games.sf2 on usenet:

They didn't even like it 23 years ago.
This must be the origin. I guess the idea is that the part of the move that can actually hit is the meaty part. Start-up and recovery must be "bones" then lol

Everytime they have to use/explain footsies and meaty to some random person, who is jumping into the scene, on stream...
It's not a good term man.

I wonder what a Smash player would call footsies in a fighting game.

Smash players just call it the neutral.
yes but it would be amazing and probably go on livestreamfails

I agree with you. You never really realize it until you try to inform people who don't know anything about it.

Sometimes people get too caught up in their own lexicon that they don't realize how ridiculous they sound.
You get shit because you're a moron and no one likes you.

please attach trigger warnings to terrible virtua fighter clones.
The worst fighting game term, easily, is "Happy Birthday". It only applies to a few fighting games overall so it could be worse but it has absolutely no connection to what's actually happening aside from "it's a good thing and birthdays are also a good thing".

DP is still the worst. It applies to almost every fighting game. Means literally nothing to a new player even if you know what it stands for. And of course the majority of people will immediately think double penetration

Unrelated to the current topic but is there anything more dominating than sucessfully landing a DP during your opponent's wakeup?

In Tekken 1, Namco originally wanted the announcer to say "Chicken" when the player blocks and turtles for too long the same way Guilty Gear has their announcer say "Negative Penalty".
It was glitched and the announcer said 'Chicken" when you counter a reversal instead. They removed the glitch in Tekken 6 but they put it back in Tekken Tag 2 as per fan demands.

No way I can support a project like this with a clear conscience. Maybe if they start from scratch with a less creepy idea I'd be willing to support.
Also, some loser actually payed $5k to be drawn with their waifu, lol. Fucking nerds, man.

Backed. Waifu aesthetic be damned this is one of the best fighting games I've played and I've made it a point to play EVERYTHING. This game series and its mechanics was a standout in a long history of standouts.
- homing dashes and homing dash cancels make for insane aggressive play
- clashes make it so that flurry situations can occur and it keep things fast and wonderful
- Honestly some of the best movement I've ever enjoyed in a game
- Arcanas allow you a level of customization no other game has yet to match. Sure they've had "add a move" or "select a comeback factor" stuff in other titles but NOTHING in comparison to full arcanas
- passive moves
- passive abiliites like poison or teleport
- stat modifiers
- a full characters worth of special moves
- New supers
- new ultras
- each arcana has its own unique xfactor power. From poison touch normals, to nearly no knockback in combos, to magnetic shit and hyper armor its all there.
Basically all the "amazing" and "crazy shit" MVCI and DBFZ are showing up with this game did first. Homing dashes, infinity stones...that shit was all a part of arcanas and believe me when I say they look waaaaaay toned down in both MVCI and DFBZ. You owe it to yourselves to play the originator in its final game's rebalanced arcade form. Its a fighting game fucking sandbox where I can take a character and add an entire character's worth of tools on top of it to them.
Want a grappler with homing projectiles and lazers? Sure. How bout you just maximize that grappler with hyper armor and damage buffs instead? Okay. Want a character that places traps in the air, on the ground with a lariat and other shenanigans to ALSO have poison on touch? K. How about a rekka character with the ability to flood the air with obstacles that can explode into waterfall like pillars to force folks to land and eat pressure? We got you fam. How about a Jojo stand character but you want them to have hyper armor? Sho nuff. How bout someone with half screen normals and huge mobility gaining heals from hitting folks? We in there.
Arcana Heart is insane and fantastic. Back this.
fun things In this series said:check this one mixup out
Those kunai fly upwards on command. They woke up expecting more corner pressure, ate the throw and then got jumped on. You block high you eat the kunai, you block low you eat the jump in, you forward roll you corner yourself and you backwards roll and they use homing dash on jump in and you run very close to being hit by the kunai anyways and might not make it.
Heres a few more moments to enjoy
