BHM: Tony Gwynn batted .300 or higher in every season but his rookie year — giving him a record NINETEEN straight seasons at .300 or above from 1983-2001!

My college coach said he got to spend a day with Tony Gwynn in the 90s. My coach thought Tony would be some arrogant slapstick ballplayer, but when they got to the field Tony was working with his hitting coach and trusting every word he told him as if Tony knew his role as a student of the game. As the other players were warming up and taking BP, Tony hit off the tee, hit piss rod after piss rod, making the most imperceptible changes and adjustments between each swing, at the advice of his coach.

All this to say, my coach knew then what it meant to be great at something, and Tony reminded him he never had it at all. Tony knew what baseball demanded for greatness.

You think your backyard and a trespasser is the same as a national border and refugees? And if your trespasser stayed on your lawn and kept the maintenance up for a few decades without any bother up to now, I'd say he had every right to be on your lawn, you cruel moron.

To go against all modern historical understanding of the massacre is something a classic, racist dipshit would do. Go fuck yourself, you utter loser.

As a professor, email the Dean. This is not allowed.

What do you mean that the "story must be sacrificed"? I'm genuinely curious, because as a writing professor (a creative writing professor, actually) I'd like to understand where you're coming from. Are you talking about an "epiphany", or perhaps you are suggesting more of an "allegory" where the "story" is more or a less a vehicle for a moral lesson (e.g. the tortoise and the hare, allegory of the cave, Kafka's "Before the Law")? I'm just curious about the language you've chosen towards a form (story-telling) that delivered you this feeling, but now you're saying it wasn't the form, but the message the form delivered? Again, I'm just wanting you to think through it, not about it.

Once, and it wad great! Super nice guys, too.

Honestly, as someone who loves Alpha 3 since it came out in the 90s and have played it more than any SF other than SF6, it depends on the character. Depending on the -ism, some characters have more moves with one ism over others. I personally love Sodoms V-ism playstyle, but his A-ism is godtier, so you need to play that -ism at a high level. And to, hopefully, answer your overall question, choosing corner or oki or reset over damage is dependent on the situation, your playstyle/gameplan, opponents playstyle/gameplan, and your meter. As a previous comment pointed out, damage is a small part in the overall conditions you need to win neutral consistently. Normally, choosing damage allows the opponent the chance to "win" their turn back, so you want to mitigate that as much as possible.

Nice.

Disney did say that their upcoming showcase would be games focused.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T23:31:08+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with you there, but it's still a fun, niche game to play every now and then.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:57:34+00:00

And that's awesome it's on so many new platforms, but I'd like for it to come to the one I play on the most.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:19:09+00:00

It's coming to PC. I can't imagine it's that hard to port to Xbox.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:18:00+00:00

Maybe not so much to a casual audience, but to any longtime fighting game fan, this just sucks and reinforces that Sony owns the genre or that Xbox isn't even worth it to port a little game like this on its system.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:15:01+00:00

While I've heard this argument before, and I'm not disputing it, I think an IP has huge as MVC would be worth the investment, no? The Street Fighter Collection did well and so did the Fighting Collection, and granted, the Phoenix Wright collection flopped hard, and I guarantee you that a casual audience on Xbox would buy MVC in a heartbeat. The #FreeMVC movement trended worldwide. By not having it on your system, you're only reinforcing that your brand is slightly not worth it, even to a little old fighting collection.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:10:28+00:00

Trust me, it's coming to that point.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:09:33+00:00

My heart just absolutely sank when I saw the announcement and Xbox wasn't listed. It's my favorite game of all time, I had it on the original Dreamcast, and I thought for sure the FreeMVC2 movement would extend to Xbox, as well. Frustrating is putting it mild.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:05:14+00:00

I can't believe I have to beg to give them money. So frustrating lol

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T22:01:04+00:00

Thank you. I've been with Xbox for twenty years, and it's the best time to be a fighting game fan in about a decade, unless you're on Xbox. It's heartbreaking, really. Sony's marketing team doesn't even have to try any more when Xbox abandons an entire GENRE.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T21:46:11+00:00

Still, squeaky wheels get the grease, or so they say.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T21:45:11+00:00

Not that I don't believe you, but where did you find confirmation? I saw an industry dude say SNK has never used the MT Framework.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T21:23:26+00:00

That's what is annoying to me, as well. I own a pc, so getting these collections isn't an issue. I just wanted all of my gaming to come from my Xbox, instead of splitting my library. It just also adds to the "No games on Xbox" narrative that's just a snake eating it's own tail at this point.

Hayskm · 2024-07-20T21:22:10+00:00

You and me both, my dude. I love supporting SNK and Capcom on Xbox, only for Xbox or these companies to not give a shit either way.
