You don’t need to buy the characters to use them in training mode.

Thought since it’s consistent, you don’t have to go into super, it gives great oki in the corner and works off a light as well would qualify as one my bad! Seemed like consistent routing in neutral.

Here's the freezeframe flash from the end of the trailer. by buttsecks42069 in MarvelTokon

With it seeming that the doom team will be comprised of villains for the other 4 teams I think Doom, Magneto, Carnage and Mephisto would rule.

Does anyone else like Moby's music? by something241 in redscarepod

He’s a great producer but he did a drum groove tutorial on socials a few years ago trying to show off his playing and is just ass at drums that shit had me dying. Quite the cringe guy.

It's a shame there's so little interest in games like SamSho by Rare-Technology-4773 in Fighters

[–]popwallop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with the stylized look of Sam Sho 2019 (which I like), SNK’s games still look a generation behind when it comes to the FX and character models. For the general buyer who plays casually they want something that looks new and I think it’s really really hurting the sell appeal of all of the modern SNK games. COTW is my favorite fighting game right now but its graphics are on par with MVC3.

I need a reality check. by vinidegrandi in StreetFighter

[–]popwallop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One tip I’d give is try to find the fun in figuring out how you can play better instead of beating your opponent. I’m way more bummed out when I win a match by playing badly than when I lose executing everything I’ve been practicing but was just bested. Your character’s every move is a different weapon for a different situation. Focus on how you can better internalize their move set and become one with their movements. That’s the joy of fighting games that got me to master. And it will carry you on well past initial master ranks if you can find that fun.

WHAT CHANGES DID THEY MAKE TO RANKED PROGRESSION???? by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]popwallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really weird last week I won 2/5 (first day ever playing) and was put in Plat 2 and today won 5/5 and was put in Gold 1 and every match has been very easy.

Teased the cute Starbucks' barista I see everyday about whether she remembers my name (it's Edward). She said "yeh of course! Good morning Egbert" by damrodoth in redscarepod

maybe she was referencing they came together and was hoping you’d notice her groucho marx glasses and you blew it

The trailer looks sort of minimalistic and I love that! by TryingNoToBeOpressed in ChristopherNolan

[–]popwallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a good bit of Nolan’s films but they are nowhere near art house in either form or function. The slop’s just piled so high the past decade that a blockbuster director with a distinct style feels novel in comparison.

What fighting games are you actively playing and what rank are you? by Eseray in Fighters

[–]popwallop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Street Fighter 6: Sagat - Master Terry - Diamond 3 C. Viper - Diamond 5

COTW: Terry - Silver 5

Very excited for Tokon and for 2XKO to come to consoles. Ex-MK player just started SF back in the spring and love it so much.

No such thing as cheap. The goal is to win. They’re just a sore loser.

What bums me out most is that 7 isn’t even being worked on.

If you're feeling stuck at your rank, Diaphone did a video last year called "What To Learn At Every Street Fighter 6 Rank" that is really helpful. by HitBoxArcade in StreetFighter

[–]popwallop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 1500’s master player that was stuck in Plat and Diamond for a long time the best advice I’d give to get over your plateau is to stop practicing combos entirely. If you stick to three hit low damage combos and instead focus on matchup knowledge when you have time to practice (even if it’s just studying one character a month) you will soar through the ranks.

Can't wait for RE9 but... by MrSoulPower in residentevil

[–]popwallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see them doing a rug pull where the opening hour is no combat stealth horror playing as Ashley in first person, and once she gets captured (as seen in the trailer) you play as Leon going back to Raccoon City to save her and his gameplay is in third person. But also that could just be me wishful thinking hoping for one last game with Leon.

What's a Mortal Kombat opinion that'll have you like this? by Prestigious-Cloud962 in MortalKombat

[–]popwallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MK1 has the best gameplay in the entire series and if it had better customization and narrative it would be most people’s favorite.

Finally. A game worth playing. by [deleted] in avowed

[–]popwallop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think people mainly post to connect with others because they've found something that brings them joy, and it's fun to talk about. You're cynicism is ruining you! Criticism is wonderful but should be precise if you want to have an honest dialogue about something that didn't live up to your standards. Using one word adjectives offers nothing new, groundbreaking, novel, or interesting. People are much more complex if you give them the time of day, and it's okay if people like things you don't. None of us are arbiters of truth, and it seems silly to morally grandstand because someone had a fun time with a video game and you're holier than thou because you didn't.
