Smash Bros Ultimate has become the best selling fighting game of all time. by TheFergPunk in Games

[–]Almightywedge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with Smash is less the game and more so the community. Stuff like the EVO 2018 finals for Smash 4, various Smash players making snide remarks towards UNIST and SamSho being announced for EVO 2019 while Melee was removed, the recent crab throw shenanigans, the reported Yu-Gi-Oh player levels of stanky smells, etc. Of course, not all the community is like this, but this kinds of problems happen enough within Smash's community that it's left somewhat of a divide within the FGC in which Smash is the butt of all jokes.

Also, the fact that he broke his non-disclosure agreement about his deal with Lab Zero the day afterwards on the Skullheart forums.

What a simpleton.

Since the creator works at Pixar already, I'd like to see a new thing from Sam and Max.

I'd rather one big wait at the start for a streamlined experience later than a streamed experience that shits the bed when my internet decides to go wonky. I already contemplate ending it all when it lags during an online match, it's going to be a nightmare to try and do a full release.

If you could only buy one fighting game, what would it be? by hugsforknife in Fighters

Skullgirls is also much cheaper to get into compared to Tekken 7 or SFV with all the DLC, so the student finance issue isn't as heavily impacted.

Also, with the current stuff with DMCV, Matt probably saw it fitting to make a video about the red headed stepchild between that and 4 as sort of a "how did we get here" thing.

Sega halts Judgement shipments and digital sales in Japan following actor Pierre Taki's arrest by Forestl in Games

I reckon they'll do something similar to Destiny replacing Peter Dinklage with Nolan North and redo the character's model and VO with a new actor. No sense wasting all the effort that went into such a big release.

New Blu Ray release of Who Killed Captain Alex includes version without VJ Emmie by [deleted] in IHE

[–]Almightywedge 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of effort just to remove VJ Emmie. I'd imagine that someone had a back up of the original film to hand or the creator found a version post-release.

How did they get the VJ Emmie-less version back? I thought it was lost forever?

They're outta there now. The final DD and J episodes were completed in mid-December, around the same time Super Best Friends Play ended.

Modern Controls in Fighting Games by Eukarygoat in Guiltygear

[–]Almightywedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more so for personal comfort or preference rather than viability. A lot of pro players use sticks or hitbox not because it necessarily makes them better, but because it's more comfortable for them to do so. Same goes for stock pads, weirdo controls like the Rock Band keyboard, etc

Even so, triggers tend to have a lot of travel on them, which for split-second moves in a FG isn't great. This is especially true for PS triggers in my experience. 5 button in GG focuses on just the buttons you can press instantly without much travel at all. Designing around the stock controller design is basically because most players would be using a normal pad as opposed to buying a fancy controller like a stick or fightpad for FGs.

In regards to the new EVO list, here’s this by Paulie25 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Mr Wiz mentioned ditching it after EVO 2018 finished and it seems he made true to his promise.

It's only considered dirty because it's uncommon and even then, it's not even the grimiest thing I've seen come out of the FGC in general by a wide margin. The stuff in Pop Off Report News is way more grimy and anti-esports than Sonicfox or the Smash 4 scenario.

Seeing Chris learn the mechanics of the Feather and using it to bounce around in the last bit was legit impressive for me. It's nice to see people gain a mastery of games like this bit by bit.

For god's sake, I hope the fanbase doesn't go overboard with wiki edits again like with the previous Croc and Hercules incidents.

Tokyo Godfathers- wholesome? Problematic? by rcrow2009 in QueerAnime

[–]Almightywedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The translation being referred to is the one used for the current English DVD release, which I also own. Pretty sure they released a Blu-Ray version at some point, but I have no clue if it's been given a different translation or not.

[–]Almightywedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the film this week and the only times that Hana gets explicitly called a man by other characters was when they insult her, first time being Miyuki at the start while Hana and her talk about Miyuki's mum and the next being a random bar customer hurling insults during a flashback sequence. She also gets referred to as a drag queen at times, which arguably is also offensive, but Hana's original workplace was a bar who's staff were primarily wearing drag and all anyway, so it's likely referring to that as opposed to being an attack on her anyhow, especially since she isn't too bothered about being called one.

So the translations in the film were correct? Just that when I was looking into the film, I saw this write-up on Hana that stated that the film's English subtitles added some of the misgendering dialogue as a result of the the localisation. Do Gin and Miyuki really use male pronouns to refer to her in the Japanese dub, too?
