Final change list for USFIV:

Guile:
“L,M and H Flashkick -> FADC ->Forward Dash now -5F against a blocking opponent”

Aww sad-face. So they applied that nerf too on Guile.

"All versions of Sonic Boom take counter-hit damage frames 1 - 20"
Means I need to fire up a few brain cells before I throw a sonic boom. Dangit.

I had no idea that guy that wrote those “Fighting Games Suck” articles on Examiner lives in Rochester.

what’s the Examiner?

Sinn · 2014-05-23T19:40:27.000Z

I had let the Buffalo guys know that we should be heading up there on the 31st. If you guys are still up for it let me know.

Also, games tonight at my place at 7. All games welcome.

http://www.examiner.com/article/why-fighting-games-suck

yeah everybody should definitely read this article, it’s pretty wonderful. The author admits that he’s bad at fighting games, but seriously? It’s only because he doesn’t have any interest in them. Once you know how to execute all the moves, you just have to learn what counters what; for example, when your opponent does a Dragon Uppercut? You just need to counter with a Fireball immediately.

I didn’t put that in quote blocks because I’m lazy, but that is a paraphrased quote from the article; you counter Dragon Uppercuts with Fireballs immediately.

Also fighting games are simultaneously very predictable and not predictable at all, because your opponents are just going to spam a move over and over again but you never know what move they’re going to spam. Maybe it’ll be jumping kick? Maybe it’ll be forward slide. You have to figure that out first, and then you can beat your opponent. But predicting what your opponent is going to do is somehow totally distinct from being good at the game; he’s very clear on that.

Also, the only difference between SFII and SFIV is graphics and more characters; other than that, they’re literally the same game. ALSO 3d fighting games are an utter failure and nobody likes them.

edit: it’s like if the onion wrote an article about fighting games. Is the examiner satire? I can’t tell from this.

edit edit: this guy is a producer on various indie games, and “founded his own indie gaming developer”. I might shoot him an email at vegeta2k1alex@yahoo.com (wtf) and ask him if his article is satire.

Running_Wild · 2014-05-24T22:42:18.000Z

That Salty Mugen tournament at UFGT was the best tournament I ever watched.

I laughed so hard when Muteki’s Guilty Gear XX characters came in and their AI took control.

Good old House of the Dead. I have beaten all of them in the arcade except 4. Funny enough it’s the same for Time Crisis where I beat all of them except 4. I always wanted to try the new ones, but you never see these machines anywhere (or arcades for that matter). I remember I would go to amusement parks or some entertainment place and I could always bet on there being a HOTD or Time Crisis. I personally liked later in the arcade’s lifetime they had recoiled lightguns or some shotgun variant (for HOTD 3). I personally liked that.
