Its better than the almost 10 minute matches melee has. Whoever made those house rule standard should get kicked in the balls. Smash4 shows mercy in being way shorter in time and stocks.

Melee takes a long time, but tbf Smash 4 definitely has long matches too. There's just less wiggle room to change it since they are already on 2 stocks which is ideally where it should stay.

They could still lower the timer. You can't re-grab the ledge over and over for stalling so it's harder to run away the whole match.

Tekken

Man throws his son off a cliff
Son grows up all pissed and throws his dad off a cliff in revenge
Man throws his son in a volcano to make sure that doesn't happen again
20 years later man throws his grandson out of a helicopter

A story for the ages.

At one point I thought GG had a good story, before I realized it was just a different flavor of incomprehensible anime bullshit.

izanmi is even more niche.

she's a real doll.

story wise she's a doll relius created of ragna's dead sister

Also come to think of this I'm just gonna spring this trap and Izanami is actually just the drive of the other half of Ragna's sister's soul, who wasn't wasn't necessarily made by Relius. So no, her backstory is even dumber.

Relius made his wife into a real doll though, and Nu, Mu and Lambda were all clones of Ragna's dead sister made by him and arrrgh why do I know all this it's a goddamn waste

Now do Yoshimitsu, who may or may no be a robot who was a devil who is a robot who is actually a devil.

Edit: Tekken owns. There is a literal dinosaur in the game too. And a boxing kangaroo. And whatever Mokujin is.

the doll is based off saya, the drive inside is technically like noel.

The game is basically a giant.

Is there a new girl in the game?

There's a like 70% chance she's some variation of saya or noel.

Women ages 30-80 don't exist in video games (Power Instinct has the pair of grannies who are like 100)

Or any kind of media, really

You're either young and hot or old and wise, no middle ground

I mean I wasn't exactly paying 100% attention but my understanding was that saya was part of origin's soul, the murakumo units were made from saya and were thus part of origin, but izanami is directly from origin.

People hate on Bloody Roar, but if that series came back it would be a day 1 purchase for me. The transformations are very fun, and the character design gets really out there.

It's like Animorphs the video game.

It's so weird because if the izanami just held the overdrive buttons down it would have went into the exceed or whatever and won the match.

But tournament pressure etc

I still find watching those two play more interesting than jin.
