Why is wong goku and daigo mr satan?
Not sure about Justin, but I thought they picked Daigo because of the similar hairstyles.
Thought the Magnus comparison was the best of them

I had posted some random thought designed to create conversation, but then I saw this shit on GameFAQs and went "fuck that shit, this is gold."http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/672472-injustice-gods-among-us/66055775
Decades ago, a man from Europe declared that selective breeding and the extermination of âunworthyâ classes of people would result in a better world filled with better men and women. This man⌠was Francis Galton, the founder of the applied science movement known as Eugenics. Today, the majority of people believe that Eugenics was wrong, as it encouraged the mistreatment of ethnic minorities and the poor rather than actually solving the problems the world faced. However, today there are still a few remaining believers in the Eugenics practice, and a shocking number of them are present in the current FGC.
For starters, a few facts have to be shared about the modern Eugenics movement. Today, Eugenics-supporters openly acknowledge that the common man believes their ideas to be evil. They openly joke about creating new empires, ushering in new ages of civilization, and even occasionally call themselves âevil geniusesâ.
For those familiar with the FGC, those terms should sound immediately sound familiar. EMP (short for Empire), AGE, and Justin Wongâs Evil Geniuses, three of the biggest âTeamsâ in the FGC, all named after monikers common among the Eugenics crowd. Other hints of the Eugenics policies hidden in FGC rules include the racialization of fighting games. Notice how players âjokeâ about only Americans being good at Marvel, only asians being good at ArcSys games, KoF being exclusive to Mexico, etc.? These are not generalizations, keeping these games mostly regional and/or racial is written right into tournament rules, albeit fine print disguised as rules for absences and bracket sizes.
Even player attitude has undertones of Eugenics celebration. The pro community openly hates scrubs, some even suggest that it is literally impossible for a scrub to become good at a fighting game due to the âscrub mentalityâ, something every scrub is born with that cannot possibly be changed, no matter how much he practices. Donât believe me? Look at this âIntermediateâs Guideâ by Sirlin, a document clearly only meant to be read by the upper echelons of the FGC caste system, that is a clear indictment against the common scrub: http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html
But what does this have to do with Injustice and Deathstroke? Well, as we all know, Injustice is a brand new fighting game IP in a sea of sequels. Anyone could tell you just by looking at it that it was an experiment for NRS, and even the FGC as a whole. But itâs an experiment in more ways than one. See, the inclusion of things like choosing button inputs, inclusion of multiple alt costumes for free right out of the box, and endorsements by pros from all domains of the FGC were all designed to do one thing: make Injustice the most popular traditional 2D fighting game among the casual audience in FGC history.
Continued in next post.
But why go through all this trouble? Well, like I said, the game was meant to be popular with scrubs, who are hated by the FGC. Obviously, if the FGC is making a game for scrubs, itâs going to be an attack against them. And thatâs when Deathstroke pops in. He is the epitome of everything the modern scrub hates. Good at spamming, long range, good at anti-airs, can only be defeated with pure respect o the characterâs power, etc. A complete toolbox of things scrubs hate. Things they would hate so much, the scrubs would start to cry. Or, get âsaltyâ, as the FGC says.
Hm, thatâs funny. Now, why would the FGC call tears âsaltâ? Thereâs no reason to, saying people are crying is far more direct and hurtful. Unless⌠the point isnât the tears at all. Itâs the salt inside of them. The FGC wants the scrubs to be covered in salt, to be so saturated in it that theyâre always salty. But, again, why? Well, take a look at this: http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/salt-increases-risk-of-heart-attack-and-stroke
Itâs a medical journal article that declares salt increases your risk of heart attacks. Heart attacks⌠and strokes. It finally all makes sense! Deathstroke gives scrubs salt. Salt gives scrubs a stroke & death. Itâs all a plot by the FGC Eugenics supporters to exterminate the scrub population once and for all!
TL;DR Version: Deathstroke was created by the FGC Illuminatiâs Eugenics Commission to kill every last scrub in the world.
Save yourselves, my friends. Donât whine about Deathstroke anymore!
lol, everyones designing a game⌠me included, thats why i was asking the KOF vs SF questions.

Well fuck, Shaqâs licensing company has just filed a trademark for "Shaqfighter ."
If this turns out to be a fighting game then we are officially oversaturated with fighters.
Sexperienced:

Since there is no option to turn it off, I would sayâŚyes?
Every match should be on Wan Fuâs stageâŚall they throw at you are bombs (and sometimes even 2 simultaneously). Fuckinâ stingy ass Courier dudeâŚ
Same reason why every match in World Heroes 1 & 2 should be contested in DEATH MATCHES!
Anyone have a link to that pic that shows the relative sizes of FG sprites according to their resolution?
edit: nevermind, found it.

Was playing Turtle Fighters today. Game is sick fun, but Wingnut is really insane, lol
Couldnât get Saturday Night Slam Masters to work on MAME and tried the Genesis port. Could not do any motion-based moves and I tried and tried to do Hagarâs 360 on the CPU and it doesnât help that the CPU is a cheating bitch. All you really need are those Two Button or mash the button specials and youâre good to go. As a wrestling game itâs lacking and as a fighter itâs pathetic.

MvC2
MvC1
I donât really have a third. I have mad love for KOF13 and 3S
MvC1 has no competitive value whatsoever. Just play XvSF.
