Looks like this is gonna be awesome to play in a few months.

So is Jason "good" at fighting games? Obviously he is very knowledgeable about them and is plugged into the community. But is his skill above average?

I'm not knowledgeable about fighting games and don't really watch much of what the GB guys do when it comes to fighting games, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

 

[Frenden]

Yep...I really really want to play this game, but have never played a fighting game and it scares me.

Bought my first stick and am jumping in too. I hope to find some GAFers in the same boat and start playing. Going up against experienced pals might be a little discouraging at first, haha.

He's not Dan-tier but he's alright.

He seems at the level of being technically better than most casual players, but hasn't broken though a common fighting game ceiling of not being able to shut down button mashers.

 

[Frith]

it looks like some of a video game

 

[justjim89]

It's a shame that the guy who did This Year Collections has stopped. Those were so well put together.

 

[Twin Tails]

Excited for KI S3.

Yeah, finding some other newbies to play with is a good idea. Nothing as discouraging as being savaged in fighting games over and over again by experienced players when you're trying to learn.

why?

Yeah I got one match in while the servers work and he Perfect'd me.

Seems like there's a decent number of people who are new to SF and jumping in with SFV, I should probably look into finding some of those people before I try randoms again because that sucked.

He knows a lot, but the execution isn't quite there to back it up. Which is understandable, because actually getting good at these games is basically a job. Understanding them and being basically competent is one thing, but the reaction time and execution skills required to be good take a long, long time to train. And THEN comes the mind games, which is what separates the good players from the greats like Daigo, who is so good because his execution is near-flawless and he cannot be fazed.

 

[Demoskinos]

Random tangent but I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around Jeff's dislike of Super Mario Bros. 3

 

[pantsattack]

OH! I didn't know that. His money asks on each episode were always so earnest. Is that why he stopped? It was a very nice service..

 

[Antiwhippy]

why?

It's a lot of work which he doesn't have the time to do iirc.

Don't try to wrap your mind around Jeff's opinions.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That thread about Reedus and Kojima made me realize that people those people crazy.

No. Jason knows his stuff, but it takes a lot of effort to actually be good.

 

[Twin Tails]

Kojima brings out the crazy in people.

 

[TraBuch]

I haven't touched a fighting game since that one that has a character in robes with giant feet and hands and that other guy that threw giant shurikens and there were electric walls or fire walls or maybe spiked walls I forget and I know I'm good.

The Raccoon Tail is so much better than the cape! Mario gets cute ears and a tail and he smacks people with it!

3 hour podcast!
Edit:I lied it's 2 hr 57 min

 

[Bowlie]

[Megasoum]

Sure is... Weird considering I remember them talking about not liking that kind of stuff years ago.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh thank god

Okay, thanks for all the replies everybody. Actually gained new insight into what it takes to get to the next level in fighting games.

 

[Twin Tails]

Share button is all the rage.

 

[Tubobutts]

Jokes on them, I'm not going to use any of those share buttons so they'll get nothing from me. Except the money I give them every year.

they should have put a "share to Peach" button.

edit: yeah, I'm not seeing it here anymore.

Street Fighter V - Ryckert vs. Oestreiche

After being embarrassed by me on Unprofessional Fridays, Street Fighter expert Jason Oestreicher begged me for one more match to redeem himself. I obliged, and this was the result.

 

[robotrock]

Street Fighter V - Ryckert vs. Oestreiche

Calling it now. Jason will give Street Fighter V one star

How long is the fighting game talk in the Bombcast this week? Wanna know how much I need to skip.

Skip to around 54 minutes.

Any time Mario tries to cute it's fucking creepy as hell

 

[yami4ct]

Hearing Dan say he doesn't want to be 'stuck' with the old FE mission structure hurts my heart. I mean, who would want to be stuck with a game that actually offers variety in mission types and actual tactical challenge?

Awakening isn't as bad as some hardcore fans say, and Fates: Birthright seems better balanced than that one, but if you even remotely know what you're doing the limiting structure of those games is almost suffocating.

 

[frostyxc]

I was going to give my thoughts on the Project B.E.A.S.T. stuff, but... eh. Here's a buffalo shot, instead.

Wait, maybe it's a money shot.

Jason, never play Gief again.

Dan, your Rashid needs help.
