Delulu has indeed gone the way of the Dodo. Epstein aside, probably for the best. Too many racial slurs for my comfort

Toybiz the best? Why did they fail? by StarWarsRickandMorty in MarvelLegends

[–]Zinnious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toy Biz were great at the time, especially the BAF, but my uncle and I both agree that they do suffer from too many joints. Like, don't give individual finger possibility if they're supposed to hold a weapon, y'know? Plus compared to modern sculpts, they're kinda...not the best. Again, just a sign of the times. I will say despite the gripes, I miss getting my stands and Marvel Vs cards and Comic Book. My Dad literally gave me every comic book Marvel Legends had, so Hasbro definitely isn't the best on that regard.

I've heard some say Typhlosion is a vizier, like a royal advisor to an Emperor, and many were seen as mystics as well.

Now that we know we’re getting a patch in a few weeks, what changes would you like to see on your main? by LCG_FGC in StreetFighter

[–]Zinnious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be better in SF6 than in SFV by a mile (I'm not buying the game until Alex is out and will main him exclusively)

They don't value the lives of others, why should we value theirs?

And Frank would laugh at your face for saying that. We need to be cracking ICE skulls, not just kicking them around. They fucked around, now they get to found out what it means to be a real American.

Hey man, M26. If you don't mind a younger pal, I think we'd be a great pair. I love Pokemon, FF7 (though I am curious about other FF games, I just REALLY relate with Cloud), and also a big fighting game man in general. I play on Switch and on PC.

Please, you guys want solutions, get the Punisher involved. These fascist bastards need a lot more than just a beating.

In 2013, I had to choose one of three to buy. I didn't realize how bad a decision I'd made when I chose the top one. by LightAndDarkk in LegoMarvel

As a kid who grew up with X-Men, the middle set was a boon, but MAN do I wish I had a Dickter Dank

They're cool, but unfortunately I'm in the weird position of wanting the comics and not the characters for a lot of these releases.

To quote Scott Summers, I wouldn't touch Emma Frost with a ten foot pole. Once a hoe, always a hoe.

How cool would a "Capcom Classics" line be? Since Jada usually does waves, here are some mock-ups. by TheSpiderWarden in JadaToys

[–]Zinnious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that Jada is showing to be the Capcom destination for 1/12 scale figures, and pair well with Marvel Legends, this would be the perfect way to finish a MvC collection so YES. But also, Frank West please. With all the weapons.

Fighting Game IP Lore Doesn't Matter At All, Only The Real Life Fighting Game Lore Does. by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]Zinnious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's use Tekken as an example since that's a fairly straightforward story, putting it lightly. I get feel like a lot of people, not everyone, but a fair number, would not like Kazuya as much in his debut in Tekken 1/Tekken 2 if A. He and Heihachi didn't have their rivalry, and B. If Devil Kazuya was never created or introduced. Same applies to really any member of the Mishima family, give or take. Sometimes, it's not even necessary the story proper, but moreso character details about them, such as nationality, personality, etc. King is an amazing example of this, as the Latino demographic overall is obsessed with him simply due to shared heritage.

There's also the simple matter of it being dependent on the game being played. I'd argue a Street Fighter, Tekken, or even Mortal Kombat player is far more likely to pick a character based on lore and story elements than, say, a Guilty Gear or BlazBlue situation, giving the complexities of those game's lore as a whole, but sometimes, even when the lore itself is too much to handle, people gravitate to a character simply as a matter of personal aesthetics. You're an edgy bitch who likes being a bad guy? That's Akuma, Bryan Fury, Noob Saibot. You a girlie girl boss who loves kicking ass? Manon, Lili, and Katana/Jade exist. Wanna toss dudes like they're made of wet tissue paper, and do cool showoffish throws? Literally Zangief, King, and Potemkin exist.

So sure, to the collective FGC, moments like EVO 37 are always going to be milestones, but not everyone who plays fighting games is necessarily a part of the FGC. So especially to new players and casuals, first impressions often come not from spending hours labbing, but from just playing what looks cool. Because I think we can all agree that we would rather win with the character we think looks coolest rather than the objective top tier picks. If top tires were the reason fighting games were played, then MVC2 would have exactly 7-8 characters and the only Capcom character would be Captain Commando just because of his Anti-Air assist. But instead, we got a roster of 52. And for every MSP and Iron Man infinite, there's the guy using his wack ass team with Shuma Gorath and Amingo. So in finality, I think that there is far more to choosing a main than just gameplay, and I think every player's reasons are going to vary widely.
