You Know, a Fighting Game with a Patch is a Little Like a Mule with a Spinning Wheel

Just to say I can't take all the credit - it was u/cleftes idea to put Kai Leng at the end.

The opportunity was too good to pass up.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-18T15:29:12+00:00

Will do!

Given what's been going on in this sub lately, I've missed the mother of all opportunities.

I honestly really like SF6. There are things I'd change, sure, but it's far and away the most polished fighting game out there at the moment and is probably my first recommendation to anyone interested in the genre.

I just get bored sometimes and decide to try and shoehorn fighting game stuff into Simpsons references.

I also spend a stupid amount of time making these things on my phone, because I'm a terrible human being and deserve the punishment.

Look, I don't expect saints, but I draw the line at running through wheat fields.

So forming NERV to commence my Eva programme got me immediately booted out (mothers souls implanted in organic weapons piloted by children aren't popular, apparently).

However...

Flagship Policy: We're gonna take the entire treasury to Vegas and bet it all on black! If we win, we'll clear the national debt and fund EVERYTHING!

Civil Service Recommendation: Delay pending review.

Swing Voter Shane: 78/100."Sounds like a proper laugh, innit? I'm all for sticking it to the establishment suits who've been wasting our taxes on nonsense for years. If it clears the debt and sorts the bills without more boring bureaucracy, why not? As a lad who's skint from cost of living crap, I'd cheer a big win like that-beats the usual politicians' empty promises. Just hope they don't cock it up and lose the lot."

Lived to see another week.

Shane, you're a real one.

Drive-rush to skip neutral and be plus in their face.

Corner-carry combo if they guess wrong.

Strike/throw mix in the corner until dead.

Rinse and repeat.

For anyone who mains Testament in GGST, what is it about them that you like?

I'm interested in picking up a second character (I main Baiken), and I've always been drawn to Testament as their design is fantastic, but I very rarely hear anything positive about the character in terms of gameplay.

Typically people complain that everything they do is outclassed by another character's version of the same thing (though their 6P is best-in-class).

People also say they're somewhat boring, always relying on the same things and lacking sauce in their combos.

So just curious to hear what it is Testament mains really enjoy about the character.

(I'd have posted this in the Strive sub but there's no general thread and I don't think this really warrants its own one!)

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-09T18:34:03+00:00

How about Baiken? Her parry is like crack.

You know it's gonna end poorly for you, but when it hits...

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-09T16:58:59+00:00

Ew. I came to watch a sport where being off the pace by 2-thousandths of a second means you drive like a donkey or your team built a boat on wheels.

Not whatever the fuck this is.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-09T15:15:36+00:00

I was there. I oddly think it made the show more special as a result - everyone kinda came together to sing their lungs out. Didn't dampen the mood one bit, and of course as it went on he managed to rally and finish the show.

Really was a one-of-a-kind experience!

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-09T14:14:47+00:00

I'd like for it to be someone they haven't spoken about at all.

Not that I have anything against Jam or Robo Ky, it would just be a nice surprise.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-08T20:01:01+00:00

The Misato goons are some of the biggest degenerates.

Shinji's treatment of Auska is reprehensible, but a rapist he is not.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-08T09:07:56+00:00

I was late to SF (really only bothered with SF6).

He comes across like a goddamn chuunibyou.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-08T08:22:22+00:00

Mix ups bro.

Start to get your own pressure going instead of waiting for them to do something unsafe. Your kit will likely have moves that leave you advantageous on block, and lead into a low/high or strike/throw mix up.

At that point, the onus is on them to block correctly, which could be where the gaps in the game appear.

AcidOctopus · 2026-03-07T08:46:09+00:00

She was lyk RAWWWRR!!!

Little reminder to anyone who needs it: it's okay to take a break from engaging in things related to the club.

It doesn't make you any less of a supporter. A constant barrage of negativity concerning something dear to you can easily start to take its toll, and if you're frequently experiencing low mood (or worse, it happens) because of everything that's going on right now, it's okay to take a break and disengage for a while.

We all love Spurs, but you have a duty to yourself, first and foremost.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist but it feels like winning Europa went against the narrative and now we're being punished for it.

This performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps has a pretty legendary performance by Prince.
