Playing fighting games on the first date, I'd be like, you know I've spent YEARS... learning the counter to every move. You will never beat me. It'll be fun tho!
 
What's the Skullgilrs Curse™ have in store for PSN though?

Will wait until it's safe.

I've downloaded and played it myself. Story mode was pretty great.

Is she up on Steam yet or no?

Whenever Mike wakes up. Couple hours at the most.

It's happening

I've been waiting months for her to come out. Squigly is great, but I mostly use her on noobs and people who I don't want quitting the game. Big Band is just not for me. Eliza on the other hand? She's too Darkstalkers not to use.

Yeah I was iffy with her in beta but I think the voice adds a lot of charm to the character. Still lukewarm on how the Sekhmet mechanic was handled but she seems to be tweaked enough to the point where shes more than just "Valentine+". Has a lot of tools to deal with zoning actually.

Still incredibly sad it's not a scientist shark with a jetpack...




And for real, no way is that FIRST DATE BEST GAME SUFGESTIONS PLZ thread for real...

Please lord, it cannot be in seriousness...
I would feel so bad for laughing so hard

An interesting difference that sets arcades and consoles apart is that an arcade’s fighting game and video game share of floor space must be protected and maintained. If they aren't, games will lose their appeal and they won’t sell. When a title of a particular genre is lost, that entire genre’s share of floor space is cut. That’s why we, the Tekken team, are eagerly awaiting a new installment of Virtua Fighter.

From the Tekken team, Happy 20th Anniversary, Virtua Fighter! It goes without saying that VF has had an incredible impact on our industry. Without it, I’m certain that the things I've done and created would have been drastically different, and the way its influence has changed the lives of players and developers alike is truly remarkable! Since it’s a 20th anniversary and Virtua Fighter is a leader in the fighting game genre I think it would be the perfect opportunity to announce a new VF release. It’s what the players are waiting for, and what fighting game developers are praying for. Please make it happen!

It's a shame they couldn't do something with the blood puddles idea. Maybe they'll take some inspiration from Carmine for SG2!

Did she get changed much after EVO besides getting the taunt power up? I haven't really played since then.

I can live without Sekhmet, but maybe I'll work that into my gameplan somehow.

I've been living my life just one day at a time after Eliza stole Annie's rightful spot.

Time heals all wounds. Money would be better tho.

Debating whether or not to keep my preorder

Namco should make vf6 if sega isn't interested.
So Harada can be working on 9 projects instead of 8? Are you trying to get the man killed? That and I think VF players would find a Tekken-esque VF to be about as offputting as Tekken players would find a VF-esque Tekken to be.
lol what VF players :(

Namco as an entity isn't Harada. Hell, poach freelance talent. Yu Suzuki himself is freelance FFS.

Man the MvC2 cast is so much superior to the MvC3 cast...

MVC3 has DMC, Nova, Rocket Racoon, C.Viper, Dormamu, Dr.Strange, Viewtiful joe and multple RE characters in it characters in it

MVC2 has gambit, You can have that L if you really want it

Just how involved is he in all those projects, anyway? I'm sure that his main focus is Tekken 7.

Don't forget Amatarasu, Phoenix Wright, and the two Ghosts 'n Goblins reps.

I think I like MvC2 and MvC3's cast equally. MvC3 hands down has the more diverse selection (gameplay wise too), but the sheer stupidity and nostalgia of MvC2 is pretty strong. Two Wolverines? Why? FUCK YOU THATS WHY

Man, if MvC2 was released today, that game would get absolutely ripped apart by media and the gaming community.

Cool, any other developer quotes?

Wasn't the 20th anniversary last year... or is it this year?
Sega's been slowly adding them over the year, they've done 19 of them now, VFDC has 5 of them translated. The translated ones are Yu Suzuki (director of VF1-3tb), Isamu Yamagishi (Beat-Tribe Cup organizer), Katsuya Terada (character designer for VF2), Yosuke Hayashi (producer of DoA5) and Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken director).

If there's one thing I really miss from the original MvC series it's Jin. I miss my boy ;_;

MvC2 has Sentinel.

You mean OP Sentinel? Yeah, I miss him. It was so strange how he got such a huge health nerf in MvC3 just a short while after launch.

Looking at it now it comes off as such a terrible stitch job. The original Marvel VS. Capcom felt like a better package on its own.

agreed. i think its a rad game but i think this is true for like every old/revered fighting game. more a reflection on the people watching it rather than the games themselves. stream monsters suck in that way.

He's definitely very involved in four of them: Tekken 7, TKxSF, Pokken, Summer Lesson. These games are specifically marketed as being under Tekken team development and Harada will answer development related questions for these games. In contrast, SSB4 and Rise of Incarnates are just games where they're contributing to development but aren't the primary team for the game.
