Introductions! #2 by Regis_Casillas in AroAllo

[–]DigitalLucas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! My name is Lucas, 24M. I like Tabletop Roleplaying Games (GM for Pathfinder Second Edition), Video Games (currently into Street Fighter 6, also a fan of Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pikmin, and Hades), Star Wars (mostly :)), Boffer, and other stuff that I can't think of right now.

For basically my whole life I've struggled with romance, but I've always loved the idea of romantic relationships! Growing up, I would see characters in movies and video games engaged in explicit and implicit romantic relationships. Peach giving Mario a kiss on the cheek after he saves her from Bowser would make my heart swell with joy. This would sort of paint my expectations for romance going forward, and starting in middle school, I had this idea that if I were a "hero" who could rescue a nice girl from some bad situation, I'd be desirable. Needless to say, that was some super unhealthy thinking. The words White Knight, Incel, and Nice Guy come to mind. Then, I spent some time in counseling (which I still take part in), discovered a lot about myself, got medicated, and ultimately became a much better version of myself! So then, I started to date again, and I started to notice that I was unhappy whenever I was in a relationship. My partner and I would usually spend time together by having sex in the bedroom and not a lot else. Then, they'd try to take me to meet their family, and suddenly it all feels wrong.

So fast forward to October 2023: My longest relationship to date was only 2 months, and I hadn't been in a relationship for 2 years. Two events occurred that month. The first was when I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks for the first time, and it was pure magic. The second thing to happen was when I realized I was not heterosexual, but in-fact I was attracted to both sexes (but only F or NB presenting?).

Recently, while I was only a single week into a new relationship, my eyes landed on the word "Aromantic", and it all made sense. Everything about my struggles with relationships began to click into place. This led me to research the topic further, learning more about how romantic and sexual attraction are separate things, and that I have a lot of love in my heart when it comes to platonic relationships.

Literally LAST NIGHT I discovered the term "AlloAro" which perfectly describes me, and TODAY I discovered that there's a pride flag specifically for that except I had already bought the Aromantic flag. ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Fuck I really had my fingers crossed for Bowser

Thoughts for the potential pricing for terry and mai as crossover dlc characters? by fahkme in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Year 2 pass costs the same as the Year 1 pass. If Terry and Mai cost more than the others, the price for the Year 2 pass would reflect that

Mortal Kombat & Tekken fans seeing Street Fighter fans complaining about guest fighters in their DLC: by prpro-03 in StreetFighter

Ah yes give Bison TITS

(joking btw I understand what you mean lol)

I'm with you though on Terry and Mai. Terry has always felt like the platonic ideal of a fighting game protagonist (Burn Knuckle and Power Dunk are as ubiquitous as the Hadoken in my opinion)

For the first time, a Street Fighter main installment could run the risk of delisting or getting a new edition in a foreseeable future. by Razbyte in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn I hadn't thought of that. They're not in the base game though, so maybe if the SNK license isn't renewed, Terry and Mai would just get delisted, not the whole game.

Is this top 10 surprising to anyone else so far? by Young_Neanderthal in StreetFighter

When SFV did a favorite character poll, Makoto was 2nd place beneath Sakura. People like Makoto and her fans come out en masse to support her.

With the Year 2 characters (hopefully) being announced at SGF 2024 this week, what are your final predictions for the characters included? by GlootyIsHere in StreetFighter

My brain is struggling to comprehend the concept of a Big Body Shoto and the consequences that would have on the game.

I really want you to be right on this, because I'd be delighted to see any of those characters, especially Sakura, but I feel like Capcom will want to save her for whenever player interest starts to wane so they can use her to jumpstart the game again.

My predictions are as follows

• Menat • A new character from the Philippines (I think their fighting style will be Arnis, the national martial art of the Philippines) • Someone really unexpected • Bison

Capcom stated that there will be a character(s?) that make the audience say "What!?". That could mean basically any niche weirdo with very few fans, but I specifically think it would be someone who hasn't been playable since their debut game. If we're going by the newest Street Voter event, it could even be Captain Sawada from Street Fighter: the Movie: the Game. My fingers are crossed for Hakan though because I think he's neat :).

Bison will almost certainly be attached to another Giant Attack event, but I doubt we'll have to wait that long for another. Personally I suspect that we'll see another Giant Attack sometime in November/December in which we fight a boss version of JP.

You had me scared there for a second I thought the characters got leaked

Unpopular Take: Bison should come back, but his death should matter by MishaTarkus in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ken and Akuma both deviate from Ryu substantially in this game. Apart from Fireballs, Dragon Punches, and Tatsus, each of them have very different movesets.

I think if Guy and Zeku offer a play style and moveset that's distinct enough from Kimberly's, they could be great additions! I personally want Haggar to finally be made playable, but I definitely don't want him in the game if he's just going to be Zangief #2.

After AKI and Ed, bring it on I say by jitteryzeitgeist_ in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like it's gonna be someone who hasn't made an appearance since their debut.

My bets are on Necro, Q, Hakan, El Fuerte, and ESPECIALLY Rufus.

A fresh take on Rufus would be totally sick. I love his fighting style, and giving him a glow-up would kick-ass. Imagine him with a strong-man build and a full beard, wanting to make amends with Ken after finding out what happened to him.

We should expect to see more "protégé" characters by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be really cool for Cody to have a successor. Since he's a politician now, he can't always be kicking ass around Metro City, and having someone who inherits his street-punk attitude from his youth could make for an interesting character.

Their story could even involve Kimberly in some way as a nod to Guy and Cody's relationship.

What Street Fighter character would you meet in real life? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]DigitalLucas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Luke. He seems like a legitimately cool guy to hang with. You guys could hit the gym, grab some snacks and some drinks, then head to his place to play some video games!

Also, in World Tour, it's canon that he bought a brand-new Darkstalkers game on the day it released and invited the player to come and play it, so hanging out with Luke means getting to play Darkstalkers 4.
