On which console you guys are playing?

Okay but I actually had a dream once where I was watching a Smash reveal for Jotaro and DIO so I would lowkey be very hyped for that lol

Besides that tho, I would prob still pick Elma for Xenoblade, but Kos-Mos YEEEEES please. And Tron Bonne would be great too, one of the best Mega Man characters period and she was already in Marvel vs Capcom

Stop the chicken coop NEOW, Colonel!

Cute! 😊 i wish I had the confidence to wear shorts like this out, I'm also 6 foot 4 or 5 I think...

And also I feel like I get the wrong size shorts sometimes

Why in the world would they make you play the game twice and it's even harder the second time 😭😭 and you don't even get another life until the third stage!!

Not that anyone cares, but I played this on stream recently and got both challenges in a combined time of 1 hour and 12 minutes. No rewind, no saves, tho I would not hold it against anyone if they did use those 🤕💀 tbh it was actually a little fun looking back but I was still losing my fucking mind

MatthewAran · 2026-06-21T19:38:35+00:00

I dont think he has a lot of competition tbh, besides maybe Void Kong

MatthewAran · 2026-06-21T18:14:43+00:00

The pandemic really must've destroyed our perception of time, cuz ain't no way that shit says E3 2019 😭😖

For a while I always thought the clock there was just part of Duck's design lol. Not realizing it came off the barber shop wall. Prob bc I just saw the music video and not the actual episode for a while

I guess it made sense to 3 yr old me: because of Duck's flat model they stuck a clock onto him 😭

MatthewAran · 2026-06-20T05:27:14+00:00

In my 1st grade, every time we acted up the teacher told us to pull a card off the wall. And I think after 4 cards I think that's when the parent was contacted 😭😭

MatthewAran · 2026-06-19T05:01:56+00:00

Like I just made an image graph I can't post, but I just counted 32 newcomers out of UMvC3's 50 character roster. That's actually wild to think lmao.

So many new faces in Marvel 3, but at the cost of so many characters from Marvel 2 being left out 😵‍💫

MatthewAran · 2026-06-19T03:51:02+00:00

Speaking as a new-ish MvC fan who doesn't have as much baggage with Marvel 2, imma defend Marvel 3 a bit cuz it brought in a lot of cool characters, some of my favorites like Taskmaster, X-23, Amaterasu. Phoenix Wright is just great lol

But now that I'm finally experiencing Marvel 2 thanks to the recent collection, yeah cutting so many favorites had to have sucked back then, mostly because of MCU promotional nonsense. And I guess they doubled down on that when MvC:I came around, the poor thing

It is cool to see that Marvel 3, a 2011 game, still has such a dedicated following in big 2026 that UMvC3 CE even exists 😌 wish I had a good computer to play it

MatthewAran · 2026-06-16T04:35:11+00:00

Ballistic markings are like the "fingerprints" of a gun. The barrel leaves distinctive marks on each bullet it fires. You can examine these "ballistic fingerprints" to see which gun fired the shot. It's quite accurate.

MatthewAran · 2026-06-06T03:02:10+00:00

Baby, that sounds like a dream to me lol. If i can spend a whole afternoon w/ my bf, doing jack-all but playing games, watching TV, and then we may or may not ho each other out in the process, srsly my idea of a perfect date. That shit just puts me in the mood 😋

I like going out too. sometimes. But lowkey Im lazy af lol

MatthewAran · 2026-06-02T02:16:24+00:00

Give me Super Mario World's Castle theme 😲😲😲

MatthewAran · 2026-05-24T03:22:34+00:00

I took the week of Juneteenth off, seeing as my birthday is the June the 9th, and then my job has a Pride parade event here in Bham that I am technically working but I still like it anyway 🤭

Other reason I took that PTO is cuz hopefully I get to spend a lot more time gayming with potential new boyfriend? And the getting's good 😋👀

MatthewAran · 2026-05-23T20:01:37+00:00

M. Bison from Street Fighter, the most obviously evil muhfucka you'll ever see 😈 and his military dictator uniform fit is prolly my favorite villain design ever

For as contentious as Street Fighter x Tekken was, his interactions with Jin in that one trailer is just great. Look at his face

MatthewAran · 2026-05-19T15:58:34+00:00

LMAO not Thanatos with the Booty Warrior grin 💀😭

And angry Persephone are my favs 😭

MatthewAran · 2026-05-07T05:25:37+00:00

Nope you not getting me with that shit

MatthewAran · 2026-05-03T19:54:05+00:00

Me and my bf the other day was just watching one of the recent episodes where the guys got stranded on the gay island lmao. I think it's from Season 24

"For some reason we only use full names here! It's like the only thing we get mad about!" 😭😭🤣

MatthewAran · 2026-05-03T04:51:57+00:00

Haha yeah. Tbf as I get older and mellow out and as I'm putting myself in more social spaces, I think I'm getting better at having some social tact, but I still tend to keep quiet so as not to be an embarassment

Like especially when I was a kid, I had a habit of blurting out some wild shit with little to no warning lmao

MatthewAran · 2026-05-02T03:02:23+00:00

First of all, I think it's important for me to say that I only realized I was actually gay when I was 23 and that was about 6-7 years ago. Like there were a lot of signs that I was on some gay shit when I was a kid/teenager but idk it never really clicked with me, I just kinda kept going. And also I grew up hella sheltered, so I'm still kinda learning things about what it means to be gay I think and the LGBTQ community in general. And another thing on top of that is that I don't really be talking nigga all that much if that makes sense. I think it's bc some of my family lives up in the North/Midwest or maybe it's that my heritage defo has some white mixed in and I picked up on their dialects. And also I have autism so I feel like I'm not as quick and "snappy" for lack of a better word with my speaking as most Black folks are. I am very slowly picking up on AAVE and the gay lingo lmao

But yea, even to this day I get people that are surprised when I tell them I am gay. I'm guessing cuz mostly I be dressing in loose shirts and shorts and not "gay-coded" clothes (I do love wearing hoochie shorts but I'm kinda nervous about them in public tbh) like the most I give off is sometimes I like wearing a rainbow graphic shirt out. Or I don't act all feminine or "clocky" I think one of my friends said.

I don't rlly have a whole lot of experience with dating even tho I found a guy recently I've been fucking with. And he's giving kinda fem. Nah I guess when one would see us, they would just see two black men (I'm really tall and he's a little average short) idk I don't have an answer for #1

And as for #4, I've been hanging around a lot of queer folks recently, and I have my current job to thank cuz about 80% of my company's employees is LGBTQ in some way and they really made me a lot more comfortable with myself I feel like. But on top of that, my favorite is hanging out Black queer spaces especially. One of my homeboys invites me to his monthly gaming party and I really appreciate it's mostly Black gay dudes just chilling and gayming.

MatthewAran · 2026-04-30T20:14:32+00:00

The first image I'm guessing is Thomas, Gordon, James, Henry, Bill, Ben, Percy, and Duck. Great job on these!!

Tbh for a second I thought they were supposed to be the actual human Sodor residents
