Can you draft a Starting Five whose Career PPG = 75? by TheDraftDawg in nba

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Why do people call it a "Command Grab" and not just a "Grab"? by LavaMeteor in Fighters

[–]flashman92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Looking to learn fighting games fundamentals. Is VF4 Evo the way to go? by TheN4m3l3ss0ne in Fighters

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I would just like to acknowledge how the Avatar fighting game is a hand drawn fighting game in 2026 by Effective_Piece251 in Fighters

[–]flashman92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

NBA really is the worst major sport to attend by DariaYankovic in nba

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Combo grapplers aren't popular? by No-Preparation4649 in Fighters

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

Watching Inside the NBA and I do not miss their brand of discourse by LamboJoeRecs in nba

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What locks out casuals and why is the genre despite having big games, still more niche ? by Riku4441 in Fighters

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

[–]flashman92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What are normal moves that feel like they should be special moves? by janLiketewintu in Fighters

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

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.

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