Gootecks is once again $tecks.

Russell Wilson is still the greatest.

Milk better not go up to $8 a gallon.

The Wire is still the greatest T.V show ever.

Fishes still swim, birds still fly, and our president still black. All is great in the world.

Oh and LOL at those new commercials where they say we (USA) suck in education.

Oh and here is a really super DUPER unpopular opinion... The hobbit/LOTR trilogy suck. /mic drop

If those were real wouldn't they be 2014 games?

Who knows! Niitsuma hasn't worked on anything since over a year ago. If I can put my make-believe hat on right now, it makes sense to think that 1.5 years using an already developed engine and combat system (MvC3) ported over with Capcom characters is more than enough time. Darkstalkers 4 is using the Street Fighter engine, isn't it? A lot of groundwork has been laid for both games, and it seems unlikely that Capcom will release no fighting games at all in 2013. Especially when there's Wii U money to be had now as well. There's a short period now between the end of this generation and the beginning of the next for Capcom to make money. 2014 might miss that boat as people jump on the PS4/720.

True if DS4 comes out it would most likely be this gen. Unless it get's an arcade release in japan with a new engine... but I think they did say it just used the sf4 one.

Maybe they demoted Mr. Niitsuma.
I mean they sent Mr. Ono to Canada for Street Fighter X Tekken, maybe Mr. Niitsuma was sent to Siberia for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Well he went from MvC3 to Jojo HD. Seems like he already got his duties downgraded. Surely they don't plan on Iga'ing him.

Another 2013 game - P4A. Fuck Atlus.

Isn't that Ghostlight? Presumably they wanted some assurance that they weren't buying the European rights just to see everyone import the game instead.

Could well be, but it isn't the best move considering they are yet to actually release it and I suspect that anybody who wanted the game enough to import it day 1 (like me) now will not be buying the game if and when it finally comes out on a shelf (like me).

Whoever decided to region lock the PS3 and 360 versions of P4A, and whoever didn't release the PAL version. Fuck those guys. And whoever screwed up the release of GGAC+ too.

Much bigger problem than a bit of DLC, but doesn't get nearly as much attention. At least I can buy a copy of SFxTK.

When I was 11 or 12, I got punched in the face by an older kid at the arcade because he was salty that I kept beating him in Mortal Kombat 2.

Unblockables are more dependable than a 50/50 cross up
Click to expand...

It's the other way round, if you have someone caught in a cold star assist it's near impossible for him to avoid being opened up by a Magneto/Storm subjecting him to 3-4 high low mixups in a row, especially when not many people have the defense to even block 1 mixup. Then you don't even need an assist to open people up with mixups while unblockables are worthless without assists. Even if you get people caught in unblockables they can escape it if they know how to, look at how Goa escaped Marlinpie's Viper/Ammy unblockable setup with X Factor during NEC.

If I lived in NY and not rural KY I probably would've.

I only got like 2 and a half bucks to spend at the arcade when I was able to go, and part of that was usually lunch money that I had saved, so I didn't give a fuck about not being cheap.
