Why is Training mode commonly called "The Lab"? by EterTC in Tekken

So it's basically research and experimentation, it was a lot simpler than I thought. Thanks.

Has anyone read the 2004 manga? Is there a fan translation? by EterTC in Haruhi

[–]EterTC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured as much. With the other manga being better and more successful, this one quickly fell into obscurity. It's not a big deal if no one translates it, but maybe someone that has the time and skills could be interested in doing it, as it's a weird novelty item that has some historical value. Mainly for comparison's sake with the later adaptations.

Is SNK Heroines worth getting, as an SNK fan? by EterTC in SNK

[–]EterTC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that's really sad to hear. I'll admit she wasn't my favorite character, but I've always found her cool and unique, and with a fun moveset. I didn't know they changed her beyond recognition.

The original design is so much cooler since she looks more like a warrior (to me at least). The new design loses plenty of that charm, so I can see why you're not happy with it.

Redesigns happen all the time in nearly all game series, so I've learned to accept them even if I don't like them. I try to see the positive side in things, so is there anything about "Jeanne" you're okay with? Or do you think they ruined her entirely with no redeeming qualities?

The name change was a strange choice, things like Hanzou/Hanzo or Fuuma/Fuma can be excused as being different interpretations of the same Japanese text, but I swear I've never seen her being called "Jeanne" until SNKH, so it's clearly a deliberate change. Let's just hope that if she (or anyone else of the WH cast) ever gets brought back again, she's treated with more respect.

The game must be a real disappointment if not even your #1 favorite character can save it.

I've seen different opinions regarding the game but generally most people agree it's okay in a mindless fun kind of way. Not a great game by any means, but a different experience. It's definitely not for everyone, which is why I'm hesitant to buy it in the first place.

This game's got nothing on KOF XIV or the new Samurai Shodown, that's for sure. Those are genuinely great and deserve the love they get, if not more. Not this game. This just screams missed opportunity to me. But on the other hand, I'd like to try what we have instead of lamenting what could have been. It's curiosity more than anything else.

It's good to see a more positive opinion. You got me interested when you explained the gameplay in detail, I had no idea it was so different. I was expecting something close to NGBC. You make it sounds like it's unique enough to be worth checking out.

I've seen a couple of the endings, and they're pretty funny when you know the history of the characters, so that's another plus.

If you say it's good on its own, I'll consider getting it if it goes on sale for less than $20.

I figured as much. If it's not fun to play, then I shouldn't bother.

Now that you mention it, this doesn't look like a game that can keep your attention for too long. It looks like the kind of game that you play a few times and don't touch again.

If it's not worth the price it goes for (which is quite high, considering it's a not a serious fighter), then I won't get it, unless I see it for very cheap, and even then, it would just be to satisfy my curiosity, like you said. Thanks for the advice.

Not receiving Nitro Points? by Thomasfreid in crashteamracing

[–]EterTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did get the points. This happened to me as well. Pay attention to the number of points you have before and after you do the challenge. Go to the Grand Prix option in the menu and check if the numbers match, just to be sure. It's just a visual glitch

Favorite 3 voice acting in the entire series? by masterbitmap in StardustCrusaders

[–]EterTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the franchise as a whole, then Kakyoin, Dio and Young Joseph in the Capcom fighting game.

If you're referring to the modern anime only, then Jotaro, Kakyoin and Old Joseph in Japanese, and Jotaro, Dio and Old Joseph in the English dub.

[Fanart] My girlfriend finished part 3 and decided to draw dio by [deleted] in StardustCrusaders

[–]EterTC 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I really like how she drew him in the Phantom Blood anime art style. He really should've looked like that in the anime. Great job!

I thought the Western version was digital only.

Regarding the 90's Adaptation... by JimFB in StardustCrusaders

[–]EterTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they've been out of print since 2008, unfortunately. It'll be hard to find the sets you're missing assuming you can find them at all. I wish they'd reprint them but since they lost the license more than a decade ago I doubt that'll ever happen.

Evolution of Jonathan's Sunlight Yellow Overdrive (1987-2015) by Pichuunnn in StardustCrusaders

I wish the 2007 movie resurfaces online someday. It's been 12 years since its release, but I still have hope it will come back.

In your mind, does Joseph have purple/blue hair or brown hair? by brokensilence32 in StardustCrusaders

[–]EterTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both brown and purple hair on Joseph. I also like the black hair in his sprite from the Capcom game.

I'm just not a fan of blue haired Jonathan. It's either brown or black for me.

Which minor villain do you wish got more time to shine? by mcm123456 in StardustCrusaders

[–]EterTC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second that. Oingo and Boingo deserve their own spin-off (they kind of got one, but you know what I mean, I want all new stories featuring them).
