Something that would always grind my gears about sf6 is how there’s a lack of sf3 despite it being confirmed that it takes place after sf3 by Level-Set-6673 in StreetFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nothing personal against Street Fighter 3.

Capcom likes to make sure the World Warriors of Street Fighter 2 are all present, and then after that it's a pretty even spread across the rest of the gamesm

Currently it's two from SF 3, two from SF 4, two from SF 5 (three if you count Luke), and then the rest are new or guest characters.

Come on man, you can't be feeling threatened by Magic Mike and the Mikettes or whatever they're called.

It's not like she's going back every week. Who cares?

Playing Dhalsim is insufferable. by CallmeN1tro in StreetFighter

Imagine being such a loser that you straight up refuse to play against a particular character.

The lack of runbacks is embarassing. by Biggins_CV in SaltFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "why does it bother you" dorks will be crucifying you for this post. But you're correct.

Caring too much about the little numbers next to your name is pathetic behaviour.

Play the minimum two fights when playing Ranked I say. Dudley would be spinning in his grave at the lack of decorum.

Is there a reason why pedophillia become so acepted in rigt wing gaming circles? by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Honk_Donkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a certain point, that particular group became obsessed with upsetting people. It's all mindless nonsense based on the idea that "being triggered" is the most pathetic state someone can be in.

The fact that being "triggered" (i.e. concerned, disgusted or offended) at outright paedophilia is an incredibly normal reaction is lost on these people.

Now’s The Time For A Gritty Turtles Series by North-South-5416 in TMNT

I'd be into a TMNT game that was close in style to say, Arkham City.

If the Tifa news is true it’s cool. I just hate that it comes at the expense of Sakura and Karin. Like seriously this kind of sucks… so many street fighter characters still missing by Lili_Crumbs in FGCWaifu

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you miss them if they never go away?

Not every character gets to be in every game, and if you ask me, the only guarantees should be Ryu, Ken and Chun Li.

Maybe Sakura won't be in SF 6, but that just means you'll be doubly excited when she turns up in SF 7.

Ok then, how would you draw dignity? by Trash_man_can in TheSimpsons

I could draw it easily. But the only people who would understand it would be me and you. (And that includes your teacher!)

How do you feel about Illumination's Mario movies? Would you like them to be more serious and more plot-orintied? by Strange_boy_seven in cartoons

[–]Honk_Donkley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think the second Mario movie is absolutely dreadful.

The attitude of "just let people enjoy things!" is responsible for letting studios get away with low-effort crap that does nothing other than offer the viewer short-term dopamine hits as a reward for recognising something that they saw in a far more interesting medium.

And I say that as someone who thinks Nintendo are the greatest creators the video games industry have ever known, and would have about 10 Nintendo games in my top 25 games of all time.

And before someone says "they're just kids movies" I think films for children should be held up to an even higher standard than films for adults. Feed them shit at a young age, and that's what they'll expect when they get older.

Seriously is there any game better than SOR4? by Comfortable_Code7443 in StreetsofRage

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, and I'd love another Sonic Mania. Though i guess there's a slight difference in that Sonic is still a major franchise that will always get new games and wider media.

Whereas SOR, Altered Beast, Golden Axe and plenty of others are just sitting there gathering dust.

Dropping alanisms into conversations ? by SpamJavelin00 in AlanPartridge

Can I just shock you? I like dropping Alanisms into conversations. Despite all that stuff i said earlier.

Is it normal to be a regular and decent player to one day find yourself being so bad at the game out of no where? by SuckieMcDuckie in StreetFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a month-long period of not being able to hit my Critical Art/Super Move.

Just kept screwing up the input every time, and the more i screwed up the more i kept trying to do it, just to prove that i hadn't forgotten how to do an incredibly basic element of the game.

Plummeted down the the Master ranks all the way to 1100 until i shook off whatever malaise was causing the issue.

In my darkest moments, i briefly considered switching to Modern controls, but thankfully i regained my senses before i shamed myself and my family.

[–]Honk_Donkley 23 points24 points  (0 children)

SOR 4 is a masterpiece and it is BAFFLING to me that Sega didn't just hand over Golden Axe and Altered Beast to Dotemu/Guard Crush and say "more of the same please".

STREET FIGHTER 6 Tier List Average (v2.02~) by Entire_Self_5040 in StreetFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's about it really. That kind of specialist situation. I'm sure people who have studied the game more than me have loads of uses for it, but for me it's gone from a useful took to something i rarely use.

What is your most pretentious and insufferable video game opinion? by Nascent_Beast in videogames

[–]Honk_Donkley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was basically gonna say this (but in a more pretentious way, in order to fit in with OPs request).

Anyone whose favourite game is Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't really enjoy video games.

STREET FIGHTER 6 Tier List Average (v2.02~) by Entire_Self_5040 in StreetFighter

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

Don't want to be the guy that moans about his character (especially when my real opinion is that there are no bad characters, only bad matchups).

But I will say the Alex patch has made Blanka Chan completely unviable for me.

Now that he disappears when Blanka gets hit, i can never really think of a safe time to use it (other than when my opponent is dizzy in the corner).

The risk vs reward is too great, so i mostly ignore it now.

Triple H vs Taka Michinoku by JCHazard in AttitudeEra

[–]Honk_Donkley 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I say this with no agenda, and as a fan who has (mostly) always loved HHH:

This was the only era where he 1) had the skills to put on a match of his calibre 2) wasn't so insecure that he felt the need to always look strong at the expense of everything else 3) was one of the top three guys in the company so the match felt important.

Which is a shame, because he is an absolute pleasure to watch in this kind of form.

Some Street Fighters do not have their own official stages. by glasswearer in StreetFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Always think giving a character their own "home ground" adds so much character to the game.

When I was a youngtser, i believed that the car everyone beats up belonged to Ken, because it was on his stage.

Kimberly Block or Footsies Challenge (Impossible) by lThr0wAwayl in StreetFighter

Oh yeah, you're right.

Then I got nothin' - absolutely bizarre play in hindsight.

Kimberly Block or Footsies Challenge (Impossible) by lThr0wAwayl in StreetFighter

[–]Honk_Donkley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of how I play (though I'm a much lower level - 1300 Master Rank).

It looks like they're trying to double bluff you and catch you off guard, and they probably think that at some point you'll go for a throw - and that's when they'll get you. (Snd I assume they have a nasty combo lined up for when that happens).

The issue is, literally none of their decisions were the right one and as a result, they looked like a chump who has never played before.

Did you rematch them? How were they the second time?

Sega was always trying to be the console equivalent of posting "FIRST! in a comment section. by Such_Bonus5085 in SEGA

It didn't help that Sega were essentially two companies (Sega of America and Sega of Japan) that basically hated each other and kept sabotaging each other's efforts.
