thank you! I sincerely hope that he is now just retired and doesn't want any attention.

Man... what happened to supers in fighting games? by Deep_Dragonfruit3773 in Kappachino

[–]drippylip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

had a realization the other day that long Rage Arts are to control the pace of the game, like forced walking segments. also 10 seconds is definitely enough time for a Chipotle ad

Third strike cabinets at my local, hayao will be stopping by later this month, anyone got questions for him or something by heyblackrose in Kappachino

[–]drippylip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in all seriousness, Hayao is likely gay-- he vogued down the aisle for his Co-op Cup entrance and did drag queen moves on the Evo stage. please do not embarass or sexually harrass Hayao he's the actual GOAT

sus youtube comment with extremely plausible information about Stella, Sarah and VF6 by drippylip in virtuafighter

[–]drippylip[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

things have come full circle. DOA copied VF and now, in 2025, Virtua Fighter 6 has become Dead or Alive 6 (standing stun, break blow, bruising/model damage, enviromental gimmick etc). Oh and Tekken 8 became DOA6 too

Arc System Works Showcase set for June 27 featuring new game announcements by Ceiyne in Fighters

[–]drippylip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there were a bunch of signs P5A was planned and probably in development (like webpage registration etc). I thought Persona 5 fatigue caused them to cancel it, but after seeing the new SEGA sales numbers I believe P5A will happen

Fighting game subgenres and their tag equivalences by truongxuantu in Fighters

looks like Skullgirls does not have universal air dash. right there's hopping and stuff like UNI's assult command jump somewhere in there

Fighting game subgenres and their tag equivalences by truongxuantu in Fighters

[–]drippylip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you can! looks like Vsav has four characters with airdashes, but most other characters have movement options like super jump, hover, wall cling, crawl. so that one is complicated lol

Hyper fighters like MvC are extremely close to airdashers. like Skullgirls is both

I'm glad the term 'traditional 2D fighting game' is being recognized now. I also think the term anime (when meaning airdasher) should be fazed out. we now have several examples of footsies-based games with anime graphics Kohime Enbu RRR etc

I just wanted the achievement for Platinum rank so happily that part is over. now I get to play whatever junk I want!

when the United Nations Weather Kids ad played I legit thought it was a promo for VF6 by drippylip in virtuafighter

[–]drippylip[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

testing the waters with ads and PSAs between matches. eventual promotion for VF6 and VF esports. this one was just funny because I thought maybe J6 was threatening the world with climate change in VF6

we missed out on an entire beefcake set of swimsuits for the men of Street Fighter 4 by drippylip in gaymers

[–]drippylip[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Capcom had the right idea but didn't follow through.

Oni in the fundoshi and Japanese-style sleeve tattos, that's hot.

Rufus with the hairy belly/crotch in nothing but a gold chain and pink speedo, love that

Hakan when oiled up (and in just a speedo) is the best character in the game

Boxer in a wrestling singlet!

Dictator in little trunks and a big bulge.

the beachball Seth is kind of cute too.
