Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

It’s sad, Dabura has a ready made moveset, they don’t have to pull stuff from their ass with him. He’s an obvious inclusion but he’s not in

Original Tao Pai Pai would be my dream choice even tho he’s never gettin it

Hmm…I own every street fighter title on my PC. Now that I think about it, I do on PS4 too.

The future is trippy.

Raditz really doesn’t have a shit ton of moves, his big final move got interrupted before we could see what it is. He has a one armed energy blast and that double energy blast. I suppose if you count Zanzoken (spelling) and his tail swipe, thats only 4 moves.

Even the awful original?

Banjo Guy Ollie does a lot of cool video game music. As a fellow banjo player and lover of video games, I’m a big fan of his. Worth looking through his channel if you like that stuff.

I’m curious; what’s your opinion of the Wizard in D. Crown? It’s basically the only thing about that game that irks me… I tend to prefer magic-based characters in any kind of action-rpg thing, but the Wizard in this game, man… it always seems like a struggle compared to any other character, imo. Fighter and Dwarf are pretty much easy-mode in comparison to the Wizard

ha, reminds me that I kept my Dwarf godlike for a LONG time by just never getting that patch that “fixed” the double-hammer defensive glitch/exploit. (basically, 2 particular hammers in your item bag made it so Dwarf only took 1 point of damage when he activated “Pumped Up”…no matter what the attack was…it only damages you for 1 point. :laughing: it was silly)

I’m late with the VGM Friday picks but here they are.

I went with a Square Enix theme this time. Wanted to pick from less obvious games.

I wasn’t aware Skullgirls was still getting updates. I thought Lab Zero moved on.

NPD April 2020

So…as most people know with the pandemic going everyone has been buying video games. Video games pretty much wrecked April in general. 2nd Highest amount of money the game industry has made for the month of April ever. Switch is still wrecking the charts but the industry as a whole is doing incredible. Dunno if this is going to continue into this month though because of inventory issues but should be interesting. Also of note CoD: MW 2019 is doing gangbusters at the moment and is currently the best selling game year to date as well as in the 12 month rolling period. Another tidbit includes FF7R taking over for the month and becoming the best selling game of the month as well as the 3rd best selling game year to date. It set new launch records for the FF franchise and and busted the record that was previously held by FFXV.

I’m super surprised Animal Crossing didn’t absolutely crush every category it was eligible.

No store in our area or neighboring states has had it in stock since release day. In 2 months it’s outsold New Leaf’s 5 year life span, is the fastest selling switch game of all time and already in the top 5 of top selling switch games of all time.

Just in Japan hardware attachments with ACNH was almost 80%

FF7R hype was was too much for AC to overcome even with it being the perfect quarantine game that it is. That being said we both know that AC will probably chart for months from now and FF7R will probably start falling below no.10 in the next couple of months.

It is, definitely. A lot of my friends who are self quarantining or working remotely have gotten back into gaming thanks to animal crossing.

They’ve been playing other stuff now too but ACNH is what got them back in love with gaming.

They either never had time to cause of work or life in general. I was in the same boat but for different reasons.

I’ve been tackling my switch back log like crazy but it’s been a lot of short indies in between long games. I’m about to start Pkmn Mystery Dungeon DX or go back to Marvel UA3

I really didn’t enjoy wizard, either. He seems like a glass cannon without the evasion abilities to work around it–struggle for real. At least sorceress’s movement is nice and has the highest Magic Resistance of the cast. He just didn’t feel fun for me at all either the first time years ago or revisiting him now. Don’t know if he gets better with upgrades since I didn’t even finish Normal with him, but he apparently gets an accessory in the Tower of Mirages that allows him to instantly cast Meteor and that’s strong enough to raise players’ opinions of him.

I didn’t revisit Dwarf yet since I got sidetracked by Sorceress but hes definitely a ton of fun when I put significant time into him years ago. Great damage and hilariously awesome survivability, tossing fools around, but if I remember, he can’t throw the elite mobs which reduces his effectiveness later on. Eagle Dives still funny to me, carpet bombing shit! Also, he’s voiced by Unsho Ishizuka (Heihachi/Joseph Joestar) who I love hearing (RIP). Didn’t know about that glitch, that makes him literally indestructible. Getting to Floor 50000 wouldn’t be a problem with that :rofl:

Just beat Ancient Dragon on infernal with Amazon minutes ago. Parry so good. Enemies get so aggressive late-game, it’s like you don’t have to bother timing it. Throw it up when an enemy even gets near you for free 5 full seconds of invincibility :rofl: and renews if you parry during that time. Still died a few times on ancient d though because I suck but survived things I shouldn’t have thanks to parry invincibility

He actually showed up in my feed and I went through his channel again and forgot he was the guy that gave Dracula a secret farm in my head canon when someone posted it in here a ways back. I dig his arrangements and actually ended up subscribing.

He was an ally card in the original DBZ card game by Score. He came out in the base set and was worth less than the card board he was printed on until the very last set, The Buu Saga.

One of the best decks in the format ended up being a deck based around the Universe Spirit Bomb or whatever it’s called that they end up beating Kid with. It did 1 unblockable damage for every ally you had in play.

If you set it up the board up correctly you could nuke someone’s entire deck (milling is how you took damage in DBZ) in less than 6 turns.

Sure do! Been playing guitar for almost 30 years. Picked up the banjo about 7 years ago.
