Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

@NeverYouMind

P.S. Do the developers of Bayonetta hate Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams? I ask because they fucking butchered their songs.

@Radiantsilvergun3 mentioned the first song. Andy Williams also covered Moon River.

@GPK

They actually have a statue of that character in their office. They call him Platinum Man, or something close to that effect. I would be down to play a game with rocket powered butt cheeks, though.

Vanquish needs to be remastered

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Yea both of those artists covered those songs. They aren’t their songs in the fucking slightest.

It wouldn’t be a NYM post if wasn’t completely wrong tho.

Vanquish needs a fucking sequel.

[Sonichuman]

Half april fools

I believe Area ia real…the mobile game isnt

[GPK]

Well there is the PC version with unlocked frame rate and resolution…

I would love a 60fps version on PS4 and Switch though.

[Stuart_Hayden]

A problem with the 3s roster is that some of the weaker characters are just crappier versions of the better ones.

If Elena’s cr.mp hit low like it fucking should she would have ended up in the top 5, easily. Brave dance does as much as chuns sa2. Plus most of Elena’s pokes are REALLY good. She just only has cr.mp to connect her super which is dumb

Vanquish needs a fucking sequel.

I agree with this. I enjoyed the shit out of vanquish.

[d3v]

I just downloaded the mobile game.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Haha yea that c.mp still boggles my mind. Moves that dont land like they visually sholud always blow my mind. I will never get over Sol Badguys old Dust being an over head smash that launches lol.

[d3v]

Aren’t all Dusts in GG overheads?

Also, you should see some of the universal overheads in FEXL. Blair’s is this cute little backwards kick that looks like it’ll hit low, but is actually an overhead.

[Azure]

How about Morrigan’s standing LK?

Possibly dumber, except Elena had literally no real “low” hit confirm.

I was rereading that old '05 retread of Viscant’s original thread (that was… 03, or 02?), that Pertho linked, and Goddamn it all does my head hurt from all the dumb posted in there.

Words shouldn’t cause migraines.

[Gasaraki]

He just means the animation of it is wacky.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

They are, but Sols Old Dust animation is what I was talking about. His old one was an over head fist smash that launched. It looked fucking weird and like the repurposed animation it must have been. In Xrd his Dust is an uppcut so strong it rends the earth below it. That’s a fuckin launch animation. I was responding to how Elena’s c.mp looks like a low but it doesn’t hit low

How about Morrigan’s standing LK?

I honestly dont know Morrigan, or Darkstalkers for that matter very well at all to know what move that is. Sorry.

[Azure]

It hits low.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Ok? What does it look like tho? I can think of a number of standing lows the look fine.

[Azure]

Standing lows are kind of dumb, imo.

[Gasaraki]

At least they aren’t jumping lows.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Oh I’m not saying they arent dumb. Its highly debatable if they are even healthy for a game, but I was simply speaking on animations that don’t actually hit the way they animate. So a standing low that clearly hits mid visually would be an example of what I meant…

[d3v]

There’s a reason me and my friends called this the “best overhead ever”. Though Kairi’s is also something similar.

Of course, the reason for this is that these used to be the guard break attacks from SFEX, but are now just universal overheads here.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Yes! Exactly! How the fuck is that an Overhead?!?!?! Lol

[Gasaraki]

Reminds me of Faust 2K. He does crouch during it, but the animation is him bringing his leg downward(similar to an axe kick) on your head, but each of it’s hitboxes hits low, even the one that is up in the air lol

[Azure]

It looks like typical standing low kick.

Seeing it the first time, you’d elect to block it standing.
