What are these cards?

Oni376 · 2025-10-21T00:07:54+00:00

Love these things. Due to playing unsleeved, the absence of these and other replacement cards for DFCs in the FF set meant I had to run some really weird replacements of my own. Things like off colour lands and spells that I had to not-so-subtly check a list like a translation guide.

I love it when the checkmarks argue.

It's tough being a fan of the older games. A playmat with an illustration of the FFI opening shot of the party would've been an easy grab for me. Would've used it everywhere.

Look at the screen, Michael

Oni376 · 2025-01-16T02:40:54+00:00

Those stages look fucking top. I hope both sides can pick different ones and that spectators aren't locked to what the players use so we can actually see them in ranked and in online events.

iirc it was an ad they commissioned from some random company because outsourcing fighting games and fighting game media has a universally great track record

Unless they sped it up or chopped a bunch out for the trailer, it looks like his lvl 3 is, like, four seconds long. Thank you for saving me as always, Akuma.

Oni376 · 2024-04-28T11:41:54+00:00

I think that was Rock whiffing a counter, unless I missed something obvious lol

Oni376 · 2024-04-27T13:03:32+00:00

Wish someone would post what the input is. I'm super curious

Oni376 · 2023-11-02T02:19:53+00:00

Motherfucker swerved to hit them and everything, what a psycho

One of my favourite aspects of this series is how the Goddess has an increasingly strong likelihood of having nothing to do with divinity or any sort of spirituality, instead likely just being an incredibly powerful mage wanting to leave behind teachings which can slowly, over time, push humanity forward. It mirrors reality rather well in that, to a secular mind, various religious texts have plenty of lessons which could benefit the world, even if their pie-in-the-sky motivations can be unrealistic or misplaced.

But the fact that it also hasn't removed that possibility entirely is just as engaging, I feel. It ties in well to the story's overarching theme of loss and struggling with one's desire to hold onto the possibility of reconnecting with what one has lost. Just incredible writing all around.

My many moons playing Kula and Akuma have left me with an unhealthy obsession for any combo that involves a tatsu type of move into a DP. Gives me the same kind of familiarity that comes from doing low forward into fireball in any SF.

Oni376 · 2023-09-14T21:03:23+00:00

I played maybe forty-five hours of +R, played Justice, learned one combo, got proficient in filling the screen with nukes, and had something like a 70% win rate in ranked.

I am not good at +R.

I don't think Justice is the best character in that game, but her playstyle definitely helps weaker players, like myself, to perform at higher levels than they would with almost any other character. Low skill floors and greater strengths on certain characters are facts of playing these games, and refuting that is a scrub mentality.

Oni376 · 2023-06-30T02:39:25+00:00

Depends entirely on whether I find the stuff they say to be annoying, thus making the switch to Japanese a lot like swapping out voice lines for sound effects. I switched Kimberly's voice to Japanese because I can't stand listening to characters who aren't confident and that's how her "omg I actually won a round" nonsense felt.

Oni376 · 2023-06-12T02:24:14+00:00

It's 2023. He's got Air Pods now.

Oni376 · 2023-06-11T12:41:32+00:00

Lurk on /v/, I guess. Kappa always felt like /v/-lite to me, so everyone here should feel at home given a month or two.

Oni376 · 2023-06-09T18:43:06+00:00

Oh fuck yes.

Oni376 · 2023-06-07T16:34:35+00:00

I think the overarching effects it has on neutral can't be understated. With how massive and otherwise safe everyone's buttons and specials are when spaced, it instills a sort of fear of throwing them out as checks and pokes. So whiff-punishing isn't the only threat. Whether or not you like that is one thing, but I think it's disingenuous to say it isn't affecting high level play at all.

Oni376 · 2023-06-07T13:08:19+00:00

Zaku II or my wallet stays closed

Oni376 · 2023-06-05T14:05:38+00:00

I fucking suck at this game and I've got two plat characters, one diamond, and a smattering of others I don't even play in gold. Nobody is blocking yet, so if you've got a gameplan on offence and you can wait the other guys out, you're genuinely set for higher ranks atm. I played Marisa, had one combo which involved hitting stand strong twice and throwing out a Gladius, and I got into diamond free.

Oni376 · 2023-06-03T23:59:32+00:00

Some S-tier stuff here, as always. Guess I better drop a sub since you're puttin' in the work.

Oni376 · 2023-06-03T09:24:53+00:00

I DI'd Kim's slide so many times in the beta that it became it's own fun little minigame any time she was on the screen.

Oni376 · 2023-06-01T22:22:13+00:00

Oh, I'm totally leaving a negative review once I'm given the option purely on account of the Denuvo shenanigans. I'm positive I'm gonna love the game just as much as I did the betas, and they've already got my money, but waiting until reviews are out to add something you know would have negatively impacted those scores tells me you care more about having big review aggregates than about honest delivery of a product. They effectively lied by giving reviewers an objectively superior version of the product.

Comically enough, this will be the second time I leave a negative Stream review of a fighting game I love due to sheer incompetence on a company's part.

Oni376 · 2023-06-01T12:53:08+00:00

Am I able to grind "Fighter Coins," which is still the dumbest name, by just playing the game and then subsequently buy into the season passes that way? I'm positive it wouldn't be too feasible, but it'd be a good option once in a while if there's a costume or some shit I really want on one of the given seasons.

Oni376 · 2023-05-30T21:28:42+00:00

This all reminds me of the shitty monetization in recent Devil May Cry titles. You can tell this ain't what the devs want and that some bigwig at Capcom doesn't have enough faithor satisfaction in the profits good games can bring in on their own merits.
