Fucking THIS, I busted my ass to try and make friends with the AFGC and you're one of the extremely few who responded. When people ask me about an anime game, I have to preface everything with "don't take my work as gospel" because a lot of the stuff I find is via twitter searches. Now I don't even have any interest in becoming a part of the AFGC. There are other reasons, but this is one of them.

I wish we'd get another Battle Network. I'm so mad that the 3DS doesn't get a DS Virtual Console, I'd buy the shit out of the ones on the WiiU.

Mega Man Zero and ZX were really different.
ZX was basically a Metroidvania.

Battle Network and Legends prior were also super different.

They did change things up, nobody cared.

They changed things up then beat those concepts into the ground by releasing 12 games of it.

The exception being the Legends games

Is there any information on the new Jack-O GGXrd character?

All I'm seeing so far are people making references to Michael Jackson but no write ups or translations of the scan on ArcSys' Twitter page.

HugS put out a pretty informative Melee Samus neutral game tutorial the other day. I've been playing her on and off for a long while and I still learned some things from it.

New KOF game (Pachinko):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us6OWs-CZDM

Dat CG.

LOUD NOISES!!!!
RANDOM ENGLISH!!!!
FLASHING LIGHTS!!!!
EXPLOSIONS!!!!
MUCH CGI WOW!!!!

Who is this commercial supposed to appeal to? Are KoF fans really going to run to play this (wouldn't they want an actual KoF fighting game instead) if they happen to like Pachinko? Are those who aren't KoF fans going to care about this?

Capcom doesn't know what they can really do with MM.

Traditional games aren't enough, they won't sell well to the general audience. Capcom is to blame here for putting out rehashed title after rehashed title.

Trying to change up the formula too much would result in excessive MM fan hate "oh noes MM is 3D now... childhood ruined!"


MM is in the same group as Sonic only Capcom at the very least isn't putting out shit games for the series. Only Sonic fans actually end up buying the shit so Sega keeps making more shit.

Yeah you can question how well this might sell withe larger, general public but its pretty clear what most MM fans actually want.

I'm fine with the way the series ended. It had a great ending, but I do wish we got an older styled spin off like the original 6.

Holy shit, really? I feel so relieved! :-D

My PC is mega ass, though. It can't even run the Elgato HD60 I got to capture video. :-( I have to borrow my wife's laptop to record right now. I need to buy my own laptop, but they're so expensive. I actually thought about doing a Kickstarter for one for the Fighting Game Tutorial series, but I don't know if it's even worth trying.

Why not draw up a rough draft of a kick starter and run it by us?

KOF fans are old grumpy men who've given up on the future.
A pachinko game is perfect for them.

Problem is that after burning people out of the BN series they tried to remake it again.
Click to expand...

And they made it a lot worse :(

Battle system was watered down so much. Story, I didn't really get into it. BN's world was fun since everyone had access to the stuff you do. Starforce you're not sociable and you have a unique power. NPCs weren't too interesting because of it for me.

The more Capcom don't know what to do with megaman the more power I get.
Only things I hate more than Megaman is EA,UBIsoft and Sonic Team. :p

Who recommended Mature to me? I decided to try her out a bit today and I really dig her design. Moreso than K' even. Looks like I might go with an all rekka team.

Our resources suck and everything is super clique heavy, so finding anything past rando netplayer #34 as far as practice and learning goes is shit unless you're about that life.

Taking a step back from it all has been like "wow we're all idiots how we go about things"
Click to expand...
Well the clique thing is just a response to the problem. Having a tight core group of players keeps that game a live for the group, one way or another. It doesn't increase in size, but also less likely to decrease, keeping things as stable as possible outside of major life altering changes. That's important for a competitive game where it's hard to find other people to play with whether locally or netplay.

I mean let's be fair even much larger games are shitty in terms of practice and learning. They simply can get by on match making and large enough player pools.

Edit: From my point of view I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sure do what you think is best and obviously put in as much effort as your passion demands, but it's on the developers, the franchise owners, and many other parties to manage and grow these things.

The last New Super Mario Bros was in 2012 (2013 including New Super Luigi U).
There've only been 4/5 games since it debuted in 2006.

The joke is Nintendo's attachment with platformers, particularly ones that don't innovate.

The clique problem in anime is pretty dumb, every region wants to claim they have the best players, when in reality they are all thralls to japan. No one will ever truly work together sans a few

Why can't GG be good, or better yet, why can't I be better at GG?
Click to expand...
Because fighting games are hard. Strict win/lose conditions, extremely short windows of decision making, little to no net neutral outcomes, highly demanding in terms of attention span, concentration, physical reactions.

I have no idea how majority of these games managed to stay so aggressively unwelcoming. I can't think of any other games in recent years that are anywhere near as demanding and punishing.

(Excepting SF4...) Not enough players for bad players to not get completely mauled, and not enough really good players for intermediate players who give a damn. Fighting games.

In Jamaica we say the cliques' chest too high.

But clique is why the US will never win in a international tourney. Although I give respect to Du, he has the best chance of sniping international players. I attribute his growth as separation from some cliques.

Although I just say cliques are symptom. I see no resolution from these issues until the developers develop better tools for learning.

I mean if you don't like Mario games that's fine but this is a borderline trolling. New Super Mario ______ =/= Mario Galaxy =/= Super Mario 3D ______. If we move even further back into the release schedule we see even more variation.

The comments from people on the web about the new Xrd character is amusing. Some people are mad lol

Why? Because they hyped themselves up into thinking it might be Bridget?

If you hype up yourself you are poisoning yourself and deserve to be burned.

"And the cherry on top had to be seeing old-man Viscant win the ReveLAtions Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournament. I love you Viscant, but come on people, this guy is a fossil."

And that Fossil went on to win EVO.
