There's opinions and there's stating that something is garbage factually, especially when clearly it's far from the worst out there.
Not everyone likes anime designs. He's entitled to his opinion

Somebody in that ugly fighting game thread mentioned BlazBlue character designs.
I was going to laugh at Blazblue when I was playing it a couple weeks ago because both the characters on screen had a ton of belts but then I realized that I wear 3 belts at work and they are legitimately very helpful if you are carrying a bunch of stuff on you. BlazBlue's designs are stupid anime and that is why I like them. They are so ridiculous and over the top that it makes the endearing in my eyes

Is this the first time you're seeing someone be outraged at another person's opinion? People were shit talking SkullGirls, you don't disagree with that vehemently? Someone calls Gurren Lagann garbage, you're not going to be even mildly annoyed at someone throwing out a wildly negative opinion about something you like without backing up any reasons for why they dislike it and instead just call it garbage? Then you, sir, are a better man than I.
That's what I like about them too, but even if that's not your thing, they're clearly not actually bad designs. That's ridiculous.
Maybe we'll get 3 videos today? That'd be cool.

I really hate it, but the biggest issue are the models. Ryu looks like a challenged baboon man, and the stupid faces he makes are just annoying because he's one of my favorite characters of all time. SF5 caught him much better, and Chun Li too.
The new art and models are among the biggest reasons why I'm so hype for V.
It bothers me a little bit that Pat doesn't let Woolie form his own opinion of the optional area and straight says how bad it is from the moment they walk in.
3 videos?

yeah there are people out in the world that cannot accept that something may not be to their tastes but that it is still good. people exist and we have to deal with it. I do not want to bring up a certain voice actor change again but do you accept that people prefer New iechay and that she is good if you look at it objectively, Even if it causes you pain? or just plain and simple dubs v subs?
No obviously not, but are they saying the game is garbage or just the design? Because I can see how someone would hate the Blazblue design
Oh jeez.. i'm so out of it.. ;_; i thought today was saturday... Woof.
So, that's probably why pat came in and talked about FnF and how we felt.

No. That's the one thing where I fully and factually believe she's bad and everyone else in the world is wrong on every level. I acknowledge that I'm ridiculous on this, but I will not accept that she did even a competent job.
Character designs. And I can see how they wouldn't, but they're obviously not garbage, which is what he's saying they are on every level.
I'm just going to say let it go. He's just some guy on another thread. Why should his opinion matter to you.
Wouldn't it be out already? To me they always appear before the first video of the day.

I think you're taking my annoyance at someone being an asshole too seriously.
Exactly they are pandering to their fans needs

Maybe. I don't know the release schedule of Machinima vids.
At least it shows that they care.

Dude, I love SkullGirls too... but I want to say about 80% of it's character designs are terrible.

He didn't say the designs, it's the art style he didn't like.

I think Matt said every other week was a Machinima episode. Did we have one last week?

They posted it in the ugliest looking fighting game thread and I felt offended. There should be worse looking fighters last gen than Skullgirls.

Was he trotting around complaining about the hentai-ishness of it, or actually seriously the artstyle?
Because if the latter, no, that shit looks glorious in hd got to say.

Just the art style. It's the biggest problem with that thread, people aren't explaining why they dislike things, they're just randomly saying "X looks like shit."

I've actually had nothing but the opposite experience in that the annoying people are the ones who don't like Street Fighter. Oregon's scene is filled with elitist motherfuckers who scoff at people playing anything but KOF.
They're iconic. I wouldn't call them bad. I'd call them deliberately simple both design and color wise.
The fact that most people can recognize these characters instantly is a testament to that:
Even the newer characters like Juri, Abel, and Viper follow this same philosophy.
Not bad, just dull. Some characters I really like, but I much prefer the alpha characters or other fighting games design compared to stree fighter.

checkmate.
jokes obviouisly
I agree, the SF fanbase has a section of people who will dismiss anything that is not street fighter and will not give it a chance, but you can find those people in any community.

Every fighting game has it's fair share of annoying fans, Capcom's games are just alot more popular so you'll see them more often.
And I think you just don't like Street Fighter.

who is the second guy on the top row? He is strangely attractive for a fishman
I like it, don't hate it at all honestly. I just prefer everything else more. Least favorite doesn't mean I hate it. I also like SF more than Killer Instinct in terms of character designs

People said a thing. Don't be offended.
Hell I don't like the SFV look either.
I think SFV is very much tailored to look for what Americans want to see in fighting game. Which makes sense since Street fighter sales more here than in Japan where the gravitate to more of the Anime Fighters. I honestly wish the 3d Streetfighter games used Capcom VS Marvel 3 art direction. It's not sleek and it feels way too meaty, SF4 still had a cartoonish feel too it despite everyone being a bit more swoll.

Well, just finished inFamous Second Son, paragon route, 100% completion. Yeah, this game really is short compared to previous inFamous games, probably 10 hours or so. Not that I'm complaining though, didn't outstay its welcome. Though I still like inFamous 2 more, this one was still damn good, and I'll be looking forward to First Light being free on PSN next month.
Now to get back to playing through South Park, and see about getting my hands on Wolfenstein The New Order.

I know why he does it for the weapons and all that, and we would probably have like 200 parts if he lets Woolie use the fist weapons. But it seems like it kind of spoils the fun for Woolie.

In terms of designs and aesthetics, I prefer SF above every other fighter. I don't like "anime" designs so most of BB's are almost annoying to look at.
I'm definitely of the "simpler = better" philosophy of design, and whenever I see a design that has way too much going on, it becomes bland for me.
SFV is looking to be the perfect 3D representation of the series, and it's the prettiest looking fighter to me, with SSB4 and Xrd in competition.
SSB4 Marth is prettiest fighting game character of all time though.
I've had that on my watch list but never got around to it. I really should but finding 3 hours to kill is hard.
I'm watching through The Flash and it is really great. The CGI is fantastic for a TV show.
