New video is up! I talk about the alleged Virtua Fighter leaks, what the supposed “eSports mechanics and concepts” could be, and what I think a new VF game could do to be more visually arresting! Link below
today i learned that shigesato itoi, the man behind the mother series, has led several anti-war campaigns and has been arrested five times for political protest
which, given what I know about that game, explains a *lot* about mother 3
the question: "how do we limit combo damage?"
normal fg devs: well we can implement a complex formula for adjusting combo damage based on the number of hits--
90s midway: if your combo does more than 40% damage both players are forcefully ejected from it. fucking stop that
the question: "how do you prevent infinites?"
modern fighting game devs: well you see, if we prorate the hitstun or limit the juggle points, we can-
90's Midway: *grabs the mic* just turn off the move. fuck you
bro you know the 3D fighting game situation is fucking dire when the lead producer on Tekken is openly asking Sega when the fuck they’re going to make a new Virtua Fighter
it’s insanely funny seeing Keits, a literal game dev who has overseen several successful FG rollback implementations, say there’s no reason why 3D games can’t do rollback, only to have an army of people who became experts on rollback yesterday insist it’s way harder, trust
Rollback is hard to do, but it is not harder to do for 3d games than 2d. You are still just receiving input, checking your client's predictions, and resimulating to the current frame if the predicted input was wrong.
anyway my perspective on “luke streetfighter is a pmc” is that i believe street fighter exists in a wonderful fantasy land where people can harness their spiritual energy to enhance their martial arts, you can travel the world on a minimal budget and cops aren’t shit
I think Nick Brawl netcode being unfixable because Netcode Guy is on that sweet PTO is awesome. Fix that shit when you get back king just keep sipping those mai tais in the meantime
ok guys, my bad. it’s literally impossible to implement rollback in tekken (even though it’s technically already in tekken) because...
[checks notes]
hurtboxes are spheres.
with all due respect, i think numpad vs oldhead notation for 2xko combos is a less important discussion than the fact that 2xko is probably going to require users to install vanguard
genuinely so fucking sick of modern fighting games. even the ones that i actually fucking like
they're always full of stupid, unnecessary inconveniences, shit that blatantly just doesn't work, and so much waiting. and waiting. and waiting. and waiting. and waiting.
what the fuck dude. I just learned that プラスアルファ (plus alpha) is Japanese wasei eigo that means “something extra/on top”
which means that the title for the PSX port of Street Fighter EX literally just means “Street Fighter EX with extra stuff in it”
look I’m sure I was going to find out one way or another that there is a community of people actively playing the PSP version of BBCSE in 2024 but that doesn’t mean I can’t be shocked anyway
The Vietnamese BR2 community is so cool specifically because they just decided to no play the same game as everyone else! The main thing defining their ruleset is ACP, which allows all moves to be cancelled into command moves - offense becomes insane with this in play
The Bloody Roar 2 Vietnamese community is ABSOLUTELY NOT PLAYING THE SAME GAME WE DID WTF THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH

What if your favourite fighting game had a super active scene with cool people near you but it came at the cost of a new character called 'Silly Jim' being added to the game, Silly Jim has no likeable traits, is the 4th best character in the game, and is incredibly low execution
further proof that kof invented smash bros: in the king of fighters 96, tapping up-back during the initial dash portion of a forward run makes your character move backwards while in their run animation, which is an exploit sometimes called "moonrunning"
this kind of kicks ass ngl
“chun-li is an interpol agent” chun-li exists in a world where instead of all of the political complexities of the real world, there is an organization of evil crazies out to take over the world with enhanced psychic abilities
ryu is able to sustain a nomadic life of furthering his marital arts skills in all manner of different countries purely by taking up manual labour jobs wherever he ends up. if he tried doing that in the real world he’d probably be locked up in an offshore immigration prison
Is any FGC meme culture funny tbh? A lot of it seems like it’s only funny and enjoyable to… idk even?
I need to see funny FGC memes to restore my faith
fgc twitter has a serious attention span problem, dude. if we’re not arguing about hitboxes or autocombos or numpad notation for the 20th time, we’re calling games “dead” because they haven’t released a new character in three months
“expect a budget of about thirty bucks” this is 8ing’s home turf. this shit is about to be made with a bunch of duct tape and a sandwich. there will be at least four animations we can trace back to Bloody Roar. we are so fucking back
8ing's making a Hunter x Hunter fighting game, more to be revealed on January 6🇯🇵 Bushiroad's publishing, so expect a budget of about thirty bucks
(totally out of the loop, is HxH an active thing right now?)
"man nobody plays our games and we don't know why, are they too hard? are they difficult to understand? is there not enough money in them?"
it's because devs keep pushing out unfinished non-functional products that actively stop you from playing the game
my perspective on the "ASW wanted Strive to destroy Xrd" thing is that for one, I don't trust Dexerto as far as I can spit, and two, Daisuke once tried to describe his goal with Strive by poorly comparing it to mahjong, so I don't trust him to talk coherently about his game lmao
this Thanksgiving i want to thank the emoji that crossed the language barrier and translated the pain of delay based netcode to Japanese devs
You did so much good for the FGC buddy, thanks
"riot games use a kernel-level anti-cheat program that routinely takes screenshots of your computer in order to validate each client" well, i guess i've found my reason to not play project l
maybe consider that everyone and their dog plays dota/master duel/[insert riot game here] because playing the game is as simple as opening up the game, pressing the "play" button and then wow you're playing the fucking game!
Many of you saw "Sega Saturn rollback netplay" and immediately thought of Asuka 120%, Last Bronx or Virtua Fighter 2.
Me? I immediately thought of Groove On Fight: Gouketsuji Ichizoku 3, because I am a sicko.
do you guys remember the early days of samsho 7 when one of the most terrifying moves in the game was haohmaru 66A
truly this game was taken from us too soon
even putting aside my numerous mechanical gripes with strive its ux is just fucking awful
i think kofxv is a fantastic game but its matchmaking literally doesn't work
idk what dnf duel will fuck up but i'm sure it'll fuck something up, since that's industry standard apparently
Following the success of its Sonic movies, Sega wants to expand the reach of its other biggest franchises, like Persona and Yakuza, beyond video games.

i'll give you a summary:
grappler infinite gone, but everything else that was dumb before is still dumb, if not dumber. which means 8ing really is behind the wheel here
got sucked back into SDBZ by a number of factors and uh here's a two-touch sequence with Android 18
can we *please* get a port for this game? the DBFZ players deserve better than Lab Coat 21 discourse
now again, I should reiterate that I don’t have any problems with people being disappointed in DNF Duel, or any fighting game for that matter.
I have problems with people who see it as their mission to be professional haters online. It’s not healthy, dude
yes bc you’re playing time crisis 3 (a ps2 game) with a guncon 3 (a ps3 peripheral). how are you even doing that. where’s the side stock with the second analog stick
understanding idol showdown as simply the 2020s manifestation of the early 2000s doujin fighter makes me feel much more amenable to trying it out, even if i am somewhat repulsed by corporate vtube culture
it's incredible what being able to play the fucking video game does for a game's active playerbase
if project l succeeds at all it'll be because riot has experience implementing matchmaking that actually does its fucking job, which i find difficult to even fathom
ok i'm sorry i'm gonna unleash a little bit of my hater energy but like. i can't help but feel a little annoyed when people talk about the success of strive and it's always about its art direction or design concessions and not the fact that asw actually bothered to market it
i occasionally think about this one post i saw years ago that was like "if third strike is such a good game then why does the game say "yeah that makes sense" whenever i pick twelve"
All of the TKs I did in Fate Unlimited Codes lead me to this day. The only thing you can cancel guard button with is jump. And within your jump startup, you can cancel into Skills or Mana Skills. So 1+1 = 2
GGXX in general seemed to have a pretty significant influence in Korean gaming culture at the time. Hell, the start of a match of GunZ The Duel begins with a “Let’s Rock” graphic reminiscent of GGXX
Most of 8ing’s fighting game output between 2000 to 2010 was all based on the engine that powers Bloody Roar 3, which means that a bunch of otherwise unrelated fighting games all have similar or outright identical tech, usually related to jump startup
congratulations on tanking all of the good will you earned with battle for the grid! hope you don’t have any regrets about being publicly in bed with the face of a dying ponzi scheme ecosystem!
i have been informed of the following:
- ryu is secretly rich from being good at fighting and ken manages his finances. this may not directly address my immigration concerns but fair point
- minor spelling mistake 💀💀💀
it’s always insanely funny when someone says “hey we shouldn’t allow people who make others uncomfortable in our community” and a bunch of 10-follower nobody accounts come barreling out of this website’s anus to completely misinterpret what is actually meant by that statement
“model 3 emulator created by a ‘genius programmer’ in his spare time” so someone at sega just. made a perfectly accurate model 3 emulator for fun. and it’s being used for rgg minigsmes and an arcade-exclusive reissue of vf3tb with shit netcode
just fucking kill me
this thread is for the promotion of discord servers for cool poverty fighting games. if you have, or are in, a discord server for a cool poverty fighting game, reply to this tweet with a link and a short blurb about why your game is cool!
i don't care how your game looks or plays, kernel-level anti cheat software is not going on my pc. and if you defend that shit with "every major game is doing it now" you're a fucking mark
