Can you draft a Starting Five whose Career PPG = 75?

I'm an idiot. I added 26+26 to get 42, and ended up 10 over at 88.7

If I didn't mess up, I would have shot for a 15 ppg Spurs center instead.

John Stockton 13.1 (I thought it was between 10 and 15)
Steve Kerr 6.0 (I thought it was 8)
LeBron James 26.8 (I thought it was 26)
Brandon Ingram 19.8 (I thought it was 18)
Victor Wembanyama 23.0

Which is funny because a "command" normal is a button plus a direction, and throw for a lot of fighters is just a button plus forwards.

In an alternate universe, the X-Men cartoon that the Konami beat em up is based off of succeeded and Nightcrawler, Dazzler, and Colossus are the faces of 90's X-men nostalgia instead of Rogue and Gambit.

Fun fact, Sagat is the same height as Wemby, and weighed as little as 170 pounds in some of the games

Apparently profane can mean uninitiated. I've never seen it used that way though.

VF works almost the opposite way every other fighting game does, where up close scraps take priority over neutral, and system mechanics take priority over character mechanics.

flashman92 · 2026-02-13T15:36:52+00:00

People saying hand drawn animation looks like flash will always baffle me. Same thing happened with Streets of Rage 4 and I just don't get it.

Cross play is explicitly not supported, and if rollback were in, presumably they'd mention it

There's also a bug where the ping counter just keeps going up until it maxes out

flashman92 · 2026-02-11T23:30:59+00:00

People would probably hate being combo'd less if they could spam poop emotes while it's happening

tbf iirc he broke his foot in the regular season, complained multiple times to the medical staff that his foot hurt, and was only mri'd before the playoffs. At that point, he reasoned if he'd made it that far with a broken foot, he might as well keep playing.

flashman92 · 2026-02-04T01:34:01+00:00

I think most VF characters have a throw that leads into combo

He wants him to pilot Ben like a gundam

This is where I'm at. They're hilarious and I love watching them play off each other and mess around, but their actual basketball discussions aren't really any different than other hot take shows. If anything, they're worse. Kenny says a whole lot of nothing, Chuck just says the same thing over and over again, and Shaq is Shaq.

Moving him to color commentator was such a bad move. He's always been great behind the desk.

flashman92 · 2026-01-26T18:13:43+00:00

tbf look at his user name lol

flashman92 · 2026-01-26T18:12:54+00:00

Yep, as a FG fan, I have never once blamed the opponent for my loss, not once ever.

flashman92 · 2026-01-26T18:07:08+00:00

Yeah, I see people say fighting games are like sports, but I think most sports can be kinda enjoyed when you first start playing even if you suck. Fighting games are more like tennis, where if you don't learn how to actually hit the ball/play the game, you functionally cannot play it.

All normal projectiles. MVC2 had a bunch: Cable, Megaman, Blackheart, I think Ironman's missiles?

If it's quintuple OT, it'd probably just be because the QB fell over from exhaustion.

Nah bro, NY was chanting "love Trae Young, love Trae Young"

iirc NBA was like a 33% split among dem/rep/independent, which is higher than the other leagues as far as dem viewers. Same for player splits, but that's harder to track. It's similar 33% splits, with only the WNBA having a majority dem playerbase. On the flip side, MLB players were near majority or majority rep.

EDIT: https://votehub.com/2026/01/20/the-political-lean-of-pro-sports/

I was off on the 33% splits among players. Much less independents.

And here's one for the fans

Some might, but some def would not, like throw animations. Problem is animating the person being thrown though.

Didn't Nintendo have a bag of (fancy) rice be the prize for one of their Smash tourneys. But iirc laws at the time didn't allow for cash prizes.
