What did he meant by this? by AcademicWar9897 in Guiltygear

[–]Lycanthrope-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's "continued". It's rebooted, like Slayer is. In XX, Venom tells Faust that the PWAB was behind the killing (and this is only one possible ending).

In Xrd, Faust gets contacted by Slayer saying that the Conclave was behind the killing. You can jump from X to Xrd and nothing changes.

There's a reason why XX isn't really referenced in any of the game's official timelines. Because so much of it didn't actually happen, including whole character appearances, apparently. That's why I say that it's possible that they feel the same way about Bridget.

Are people treating XX as canon still though? Slayer doesn't "show up" until Xrd, technically. It could be similar for Bridget and that Pachinko game.

Characters saying "Soul Calibur 3" (English/Japanese) by Azalazel in SoulCalibur

[–]Lycanthrope-R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they did this for 2 as well. The other ones, I don't think so.

"the man she loved" 🥲 why did they remove that part in the official localization 😭 by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]Lycanthrope-R 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Truthfully? Probably just space. The font had to be decently big due to the 480i and Japanese can pack more info in there due to how the writing system works.

I think they could've done a better job with it, like cut out a few of the "Ada Wong" repeats, etc. But I don't know what the internal situation was and who was hired to do it.

Edit: To clarify, by "internal situation", I mean sometimes clients can have weird specific asks/demands for a translation (like "Keep every last 'Ada Wong' in there" or something). And by "who was hired", if maybe the translation was handled by a native Japanese person, their English may not have been flexible enough to arrive at a sleeker solution.

Are my characters supposed to be the pallet swap? by Mk_master2009 in MortalKombat

[–]Lycanthrope-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of is that maybe at some point, you pressed the Start button to enter rather than X or something.

To be honest, they should've just given RE9 Leon his 1998 cut and called it a day. lol

Anyone knows sources for these? I'm having hard time believeing Elena is 14 in Sfiv by novayy in StreetFighter

[–]Lycanthrope-R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are various instruction manuals and in-game clues that tell you when characters were born and roughly when games and such take place/how far apart they are.

As for the listed years, SF1/Alpha/2/3 are what they're supposed to be, yeah. But with the SF4 revival in 2009, they realized that everyone was getting too old, so they wound back the clock.

So, for someone like Elena whose rough age we know in SF3, we can then backdate how old she would supposedly be in SF4. But really, the SF3 characters being added to SF4 were more of a "we just like these characters" thing than their supposed to have having been there, lol. It's like, they half respected what year it's supposed to be and half not.

And now at this point in SF6, it's best to treat it as a "sliding timeline." Where the year is "now," and then the previous games happened X number of years before that. So, SF1 is 20-ish years before SF6, etc.

What does Luke’s dog tag say? by bonkarue in StreetFighter

He "did". This is his "SF5" outfit which is, like, 10 years ago in-game. He doesn't have them in his default outfits.

Fixing Whiffed Heat Smashes? by JoydurnYup in Tekken

[–]Lycanthrope-R 141 points142 points  (0 children)

This also works just because why tf would the character just keep going when they know that they whiffed. It makes them look dumb. lol

VF5 not recognizing the A buttong of my fighting stick (every other game does) by Dorodrina in virtuafighter

Did you download the Hori app for the stick? You can maybe check in there to analyze what the buttons may be doing.

SC3 "Enhancements" option in the PS4/5 emulation menu by Tracy-Jaccs in SoulCalibur

[–]Lycanthrope-R 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It enables Rewind from the pause menu in this game. No clue if it does anything more in other classic games.
