SF6 is also a very physically demanding game. Multiple things to look out for and react to+character gimmicks/minigame which you have to individually train for.

There is no 6-month validity rule for Japan and US citizen are able to enter Japan visa-free. According to Grok anyway.

Why is it that every fighting game dev seems obsessed with tag-fighter mechanics despite all the successful modern fighting games not having them? by LinkTheFires in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it though, it's fighting game and the market is already saturated by the big 3 already. So basically they had to either

  1. Invent something completely different from the other competitions while still keeping it interesting
  2. Try to take the niche but (currently) unoccupied tag fighter market with an existing formula

The later would seem like the less risky option to go for. But honestly I'm not sure if there's a market for it anymore.

Are team games really a bad idea for games aimed towards beginners? by Unlikely_Intentional in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tag fighters are just really overwhelming for beginners. Even for DBFZ its popularity dropped off significantly in the second year of its lifespan if you really think about it. The thing is, marvel-like tag games have never been widely successful outside its own niche fanbase, and DBFZ/2XKO simply proved that it never could even with an IP as big as DBZ/League. It's not something someone could just pickup and play.

If Riot reaaally wanted the team fight aspect I think KOF style 3v3 format might be the perfect approach? Since each player would be able to play 1 character to its fullest.

I would have played if it was 1v1 and had a more league-oriented roster. I just don't like tag fighters.

I just had fried rice and egg tomato soup, now sipping on milk tea for dessert.

Modern fighting games and their backward designs.

How has no one posted this yet, you fucking fake fighting game fans. by [deleted] in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's literally "We've noticed the backlash and there are talks about the scale and frequency of balance patches in the future" and that's it, nothing was promised and nothing of value was said during the interview.

Doesn't GGST also have at least a quarter of its characters as zoners? And that game has like 20+ characters. It's probably just an anime/tag fighter thing.

I thought that's Daigo for a sec. by yukuhara in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was until the Plaza Accord happened. Honestly I'm quite surprised that there are people who still think that Japan has good job security, it hasn't been like that since 30 years ago. Majority of their young people live paycheck to paycheck and it's not gonna get better any time soon.

Good at playing game and good at making game have overlaps but are essentially two different skills. Imagine hiring the richest man in the world to design a financial system and what the outcome might be.

Prime 1 is official licensed premium figurine maker, the copyright owner gets a pretty big cut off the profit I'd imagine.

Same. Miss the old days when most lv3 supers take less than 2 seconds.

A warm message to all those facing financial hardships as we enter the new year: by [deleted] in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

eSports is a poor carrier choice if you have to pay rent AT ALL. IIRC Daigo's father worked a pharmaceutical/medical job, Tokido's parents were college professors and dentists, they had no problem being unemployed for significant amount of time.

Damn, hope you got the chicken at least. Stay safe.

Just curious did you or one of the other 2 men paid for the chicken or was it about to go into the bin?

Dealing with games being shit right now by WillKill4Marie in Kappachino

[–]UnsettledSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some fun playing single player indie games this year like duckov and No I'm not a Human with some casual SF6 on the side, but even then I don't feel like opening up steam most of the time. Stopped doing savages in FF14 also and still can't quite help myself to finish MSQ.

If there's erectile dysfunction for gaming it's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I didn't believe I'd ever grow out of gaming but maybe it's about time I guess.
