or c.viper.

or chun li.

in fact, i think the person who designed c viper/chun li was the same person since its like they both got hit by a shotgun with rainbow shells.

lol. Some of viper and chun's colors are okay. At least they don't have dead animals on their heads.

I had a friend who used to have the Saber Marionette J fighting game for PS1. It was godawful if I recall.

Also I STILL can't get over how amazingly fucking awful Chun's new outfit is. It's actually impressive.

Reads like "sorry if you were bothered by this guys opinion." His tweets are still up too.

Didn't AGE give him a pass for something similarly stupid way back or am I misremembering?

AGE gave all of its players several passes. I believe I know what you are referring to though. Pretty sure it was the collusion issue, with Chris G & Flocker colluding at VxG, immediately followed by Chris G & Sanford colluding at NLBC. I'm sure Chris and friends had various dumb things to say on Twitter at the time as well.

Also, this was right after AGE dropped all the likable players from its roster while keeping on Fanatiq and Flash Metroid (and Chris, but he at least won things sometimes).
 
Cause I've got friends to visit here. Also. This isn't the anime thread guys. Take it elsewhere.

I am sorry but not a single person even mentioned Legend of Galactic Heroes. After 4 pages of this nonsense without stopping, not a single mention. How did everyone here manage to dodge probably the best animated show ever made in japan.

I'd rather be banned than remain a part of this community if that's how it has to be.
 
My coworkers got SO hype when I finally lost in Injustice, lmao. I think I finally have to head to training mode now, since they're getting better.

is there no charge time lol?
There is -- and the charge time is actually fairly long. This isn't some normal anime game 15 frame charge window. However, the command interpreter French Bread uses has never had to deal with charge characters until UNIB, and it's never had to deal with charge characters on pad/hitbox/keyboard/etc. until the PS3 release of UNIEL. It really isn't ready for some of this shit. So what happens is that you can hold the charge direction and then hit the other direction anyway. So if you hold 4, then mash on 6 and a button, she'll keep shooting orbs. Or you can hold 6 and then mash on 4 and a button and shoot lasers all day. So you still need the charge, it's just the unholy daughter of charge partitioning.

Oh, so it's the "I can block both ways" thing from MvC3 Vanilla.

Also, Kadey obviously hasn't seen the kenshin movie. Or I guess the movies. I saw part 1 of the sequel this week. Very good as a fan of the series.

I've seen it. Still wasn't as good as those movies in terms of really looking like a real life anime. Goemon especially with the insane production values.

Since no one recommended any sports anime I am going to make 5:

Hajime No Ippo (ok someone recommended this but I am going to recommend it again because it's fucking godlike)

Kuroko No Basketball (Basketball anime that is hype as fuck. When people get "in the zone" you KNOW shit will go down!)

Haikyuu (Volleyball anime and really one of the best sports anime I have seen in a while. Good characters, good pacing, good writing and good animation. I can't say anything bad about it other than it is still on going)

Prince of Tennis (I would just watch until the end of the National Tournament because as this series progresses it gets WAY too much into DBZ power level non sense but as a Tennis fan this show just scratched my itch. I would just say that the main character is pretty lame in general but the supporting cast is good enough)

Over Drive (bicycling anime that starts out slow and kinda trope-y but matures into something pretty solid. You will get the feels by the end of it...)



And since we are going OT I will just say one thing that I need to get off my chest....

I absolutely despise people who think they are entitled to free prescriptions from a doctor if they knew them from some time before. Especially when said person has A) never done for anything you when you were a non doctor B) treated you like shit when you did know each other and C) talk shit about doctors all day because they earn more money than they do.

Today this particular instance happened to me. I was doing some work at my clinic when my patient comes who is someone I knew from an internship I did a few years ago. I was not a US practicing doctor at that time and I was working in a city I knew no one in so I was basically by myself with very limited resources. I also had major transportation issues and this particular person was a personal assistant to the main doctor at the clinic. Well I had to travel to and from clinic by bus every day but my last bus was at 7 so if the clinic went longer than usual I couldn't go home. I didn't live that far away so once when I missed the 7 o clock bus I asked the personal assistant if he could drop me off at home as I had no means of going home. He kept making excuses and then put the blame on me calling me shit like "you are such a 3rd rate character, I thought doctors were supposed to be smarter than this?". Mind you this guy drops two other interns at their house but the difference was that those two interns were females and I wasn't. Whenever I brought it up he responded with "you're a grown ass man, you figure it out on your own" (I was 22 at this time by the way and completely new to the state/city). Well that day I had to walk 15 miles home after 8 PM in the freezing rain because my phone was also dead so I couldn't even call a taxi all because this guy couldn't take 10 minutes extra to drop me off.

Today this guy walks into my patient room and tries to be all friendly and shit. He talked about the time he did me favors when I was an intern (which he never did) and I just stared his ass down. Then he's like "oh man you are totally not like the other intern/doctors who forget who I was after they became doctors. You know man, money changes people! So how about you give me free samples of this Cialis for my ED?" I wrote him a prescription of a drug that is not covered by his insurance and then gave him 2 dollars 10 cents out of my pocket. He's like "why are you giving me this money" and I say "this is the exact fare of the bus that I didn't have to pay because I missed my bus and had to walk home 15 miles because your ass couldn't drive me home". And then I told him that people don't want to recognize you because you are a close minded scumbag. You talk shit about doctors when they have money... but you are worse than most of the doctors you talk shit about. He stormed out of the clinic of course but that shit had to be done.

Also note that this guy was always talking shit about doctors even when I was an intern. Because I was an intern, I actually did a lot of the work he was supposed to do and did him actual favors (mostly because I knew that if I didn't do something he said he will report my ass to the professor at the time and he might refuse to give me a LOR). I always knew this guy was a prick but the fucking audacity to think he is entitled to free samples/prescription because he knew me is just mind blowing.



In fighting game news, I think best Hawkeye on point team is Hawkeye/Vergil/Strider or Hawkeye/Vergil/Haggar (against super rushdown team). You need Vergil second to Hawkeye always and Strider is pretty good with Hawkeye. Hawkeye/Vergil/Strider is usable in any order and it's only weakness is that it can get mauled pretty easily against certain match ups (ie. Wolverine, most other match ups it can handle).
 
Are you proud of being the man who inspired them to become better?
A little, yeah! My coworker who uses Nightwing ended up researching combos because he realized his play style wasn't enough against me.
In my experience, this usually leads down a slippery slope of people calling you cheap and shit when you start really exploiting the game/your character better.
Doesn't seem like that's the case here. It helps that Injustice doesn't have a whole lot of wacky bullshit... outside of Batgirl. :p

Pot sucks ass. Wheres slam dunk, ashita no joe or cyber formula?

Also, I forgot to mention I hated Evo's treatment of KOF13 at evo. It was horrible.

Because they were all older and I am biased as fuck for Tennis as I play Tennis.

Ashita No Joe is irrelevant because of Hajime No Ippo. Plus didn't want to put in two boxing anime. Slam Dunk is technically better than KnB but most people should've already seen it so I didn't want to recommend it.


And this is all the anime talk from me before I get banned.

Ippo is the bleach of sports manga. In no way makes Ashita no Joe irrelevant.

Sorry Shouta but it had to be said!!

The Vatista thing is more or less abusing the way the game handles charge partitioning. This is charge partitioning unleashed.
 
all the character costumes i want are spread evenly across the packs.

(i need dat poison and yakuza bison among others. dat bunny juri even though i dont even play her)

hawk vergil strider has significant issues up close meaning that it's not the best hawkeye on point team because that's a requirement for the absolute best hawkeye point teams. most of the top tier teams are just going to maul him easily if he doesn't have anything that stops them from going in like that

i believe that to combat high level and top tier play hawkeye needs strider or something like that (missiles) because his vertical coverage is extremely questionable, especially vs top tier chars and he's one of the few characters in the game that can actually protect strider from any point on the screen if strider gets punished at superjump height

he can't function vs. high level mags, morrigan or zero without that type of assist period because if he ever tries to do any DP arrow they can actually punish him for it from nearly fullscreen with plinkdashes or teleports

i think his best team is hawkeye dante strider because dante gives him almost everything he wants out of a support character: a strong defensive assist that is quickly relevant in up close engagements, a DHC from gimlet into a full combo regardless of XFC requirement or not, TAC infinites, volatile comeback factor from the 2nd char point and somewhat decent resets and damage output from hits while functioning with strider. (these are the properties the 2nd char must have to be on a 'best' hawkeye team)

vergil has almost all of these so he's very close but the #1 purpose is the defensive assist aspect- his coverage is not effective vs those 3 chars' mobility when rushing down nor is it that effective vs. wolverine-types who know what they're doing either since hawkeye's coverage of the area those chars are going to come at in is one of his riskier options (aimed shots, jump arrows in mid-close range, committing to standing normals with poor active frames and average hitboxes)

in addition to that he doesn't have a TAC infinite which is massively important for hawkeye because hawkeye lives or dies based on how much meter he has in the neutral game (bad hawkeyes will blow gimlets at 1 bar all the time and it is the worst idea because it cements into your opponent's head 'haha now i am free to do anything i want') and his actual meter gain when he hits you in a combo is extremely poor due to bad hitstun scaling and low base damage so if you get a hit there's a pretty real and common chance that you will not be able to have 2 bars by the end of the combo.

the 3rd potential choice is the one i use and it's nova because he fulfills all those requirements when you use the shield assist which is legitimately one of the best defensive assists in the game. he's a lot less of a 'solid' pick than dante because of how his assist is basically nonexistent in scramble situations but once you get the space to get it out it's out there permanently more or less unless you really cock up. you get really strong defensive coverage with it from pretty much every type of offensive that isn't named 'vergil'. this problem is covered because nova/strider is an extremely volatile comeback and lead-keeping shell because boy howdy the marvelo is astoundingly stupid (especially considering that the ideal killing goal is to TAC infinite, which nova builds 5 bars doing due to his shit awful damage scaling)

man i probably should've just copy/pasted the writeup i did on srk but this is close enough

my credentials: im really really good with hawkeye

Jam Session doesn't give Hawkeye full screen confirm into a dead character.

But Hawkeye/Dante/Strider was my next choice for best Hawkeye team.

hawkeye can fullscreen confirm by himself in the most of the scenarios that rapid slash would also work and the defensive aspect is significantly more important

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mE2o9O5PK4 (obviously off air triple arrows and air net arrow you you can just do the st.h->net arrow shit because of the easy capture state from the net arrow hits vs. aerial opponents)


edit:
i don't play doom so all the team variations with missiles are pretty unexplored
