Fighting game is something so great

I LOVE Battle Arena Toshinden 3 on PS1 an liked Evil Zone too.

Reminder that KOF XIII Global Match is having a network test on PS4/PS5 until June 11.

Here are my impressions ~~so you don't have to support their owner's products~~. Seems like a straight port from PS3/X360: same 720p assets, same mediocre matchmaking, same minuscule-yet-hyper-skilled user base, same laggy (rollbacky?) matches since people are continents apart. Oh well.

Itā€˜s EVO weekend and Iā€™ve got the mad hype. I sat down to watch a match or two at lunch and caught @pattheflip winning in his CvS2 bracket! In Street Fighter 6 I saw Luffy playing with his PS1 controller! I saw PR Balrog just absolutely murder his opponent! It's madness!

Most importantly I completely choked on this purchase opportunity:

I should have just bought some because I'm a sucker for crossovers!

Are you hyped for EVO? Are you mashing or doing an auto-combo? Have you ever needed to communicate your feelings about someoneā€˜s burst? If so, please enjoy this sticker pack that I made that you can print out and stick to stuff. If you have kids like me or you have access to one at your local libraryā€™s maker space, you can literally turn them into stickers with a machine after you cut them out.

Hum what? [MMC still exists.](https://www.mmcafe.com/bbs/viewer.html)

We finally have a title for the next Garō currently in development: **Garō Densetsu City of the Wolves** (餓ē‹¼COW) in Japan and **Fatal Fury City of the Wolves** (COTW) in the rest of the World, confirming the action will once again be centered on (New) South Town.

@ā€œhellomrkearnsā€#p127562 Can I ask the logic behind this? They do that in order to not let others see the movements they make or what?

@ā€œxhekrosā€#p127564 I believe thatā€˜s it, but Iā€™m no expert.

@ā€œxhekrosā€#p127564 I figured his hands were cold

as a viewer let me see we need to update the ruleset to cover these blanket situations, it looks indecent and reminds me of seeing weirdos at the library fapping off.

now xiaohai on the other hand, looking proper in his flintstones car and louis vuittons.

Anyone curious, yeah it's to hide your hands so we can't glance over and see your inputs. Often at frame disadvantage, players can see if you're mashing in case the opponent drops block string/combo. Knowing this, players can intentionally stop inputting and let the opponent whiff whatever is being mashed for big counter damage. There's also players that listen for input mashing and opponents will have a 'dead' button on the stick to trick opponents into (for example) jumping if they hear a fireball being entered. Joystick sounds are distinct, pads being compact and more quiet don't have the noise disadvantage.

Yeah, at tournament any little advantage that can be taken will be taken. Even if it's there to just lift a mental block.

@ā€œpattheflipā€#p128067 Yo! Congratulations. I donā€™t recognize that Chipp Zanuff costume.

Thatā€™s a pretty cool breakdown of a small but important moment of EVO.

Nice in-depth look at BGM customization in fighting games.

Woke up a couple days ago with this stuck in my head hasn't left yet. Been like 10 years since I thought about it.

I was very dishearted to learn in recent years that Rufus seems to be a genuinely unpopular and disliked character, which sucks because every day I dream he returns as DLC someday. I unironically think that guy rocks and is cool because he's such a confident dude but like in an endearing way, not a cocky way.

@ā€œHeavenlyHalberdā€#p128847 I had to look him up. :confounded:

I certainly remember him from my _SF4_ time. He's got Big Bob (from Tekken) Energy.
