Also people in this thread need to read the Malazan book series.

This also what I associate the word Cadre with. And people do need to read the books, they are fantastic books. There's a thread about it in the book barn where you should also come and post reactions to the books because I want to read those.

That is kinda Brian Ashcroft's deal, he blogs about Japanese culture things and his articles are often targets for "why not video games" crowd.

I know. Sometimes he has some pretty interesting posts.
It's just in light of the large amount of redrawings Murata does it seems a bit redundant to make an entire blogpost about it. It never seemed that uncommon to me.



Also, a new trailer for the one punch man game was posted.
The story mode involves trying to survive fights until Saitama arrives (with him arriving sooner by fighting really well) and literally one punches the enemy. :allears: It's a pretty great way of adding an invincible character.
I wish I could add the video here.

It is a bit rarer for comics that are past print, Murata has often redrawn things for webcomic and for print separately, but I don't think he redraws after the books have hit print, but I could be wrong there.

The comic in question I'm fairly sure has had a printing already and is therefore more unusual than otherwise.

New trailer for the OPM Game wiht a few new characters and explaining how Saitama works:
he takes no damage, all his moves insta-kill. It takes him 2 minutes to arrive to the fight if you select him.

It's being produced by Bandai Namco so I'm still going to ignore it, but that gimmick for Saitama is probably the best mechanic anyone could have done for him in a video game.

It's funny but sounds terrible to actually play against unless the game makes it nearly impossible to stall for time.

If you set up a Saitama mirror match and their attacks clash, they accidentally form a black hole.

So just so we're clear here, whenever you choose to play as Saitama you're really playing as Licenseless Rider and basically trying to not die for two minutes right? And it's only Licenseless Rider, cant do that with any other character yeah?

EDIT: Nope, looks like you can play as Geno too, well now I'm confused

Yo, the game actually looks kinda cool. I wonder if they're gonna fill it out with all of those minor class characters like Heavy Kong, Golden Ball, Jet Nice Guy, etc or just stick to Suriyu, A-rank, and above.

edit: Even if all his attacks are instant kills, I wish they'd exaggerate the effects if they're on the last person on the team. Like you hit them and they ping-pong of the buildings all the way down the street until they eventually come to a stop leaving a massive loving crater in the ground.

If both sides pick Saitama... can he hurt himself? like against another Saitama does the fight resolve normally?

My solution would be that if saitama sees saitama, they remember a sale is going on and leave the fight.

I like how the camera angle makes it look like Saitama is just running in circles for 110 seconds then finally remembers what he's supposed to be doing in the last 10

Both Saitama's have to settle things in a fighting game via a convenient television in the arena. Thr match timer stops while this plays out. This new game has a broken character that can be selected but takes 2 minutes for him to arrive but both teams can select him. This results in both characters needing to settle the match with a game of Archon.

Is this time before or after the hero base of the future where all the roads come out of it?

No matter, I want to see the Tiny Tornado finally reconizing Saitamas power after dragging him through buildings and along the ground for kilometers non-stop

I love how Flashy Flash is so flummoxed by the existence of this creature that he subconsciously has to justify why it exists. "oh i see I must have been holding back without knowing it" "oh it was just a test anyway" "oh he must constantly have to fight for his life"

I think he and Sonic might be related, because he did the exact same thing when Saitama countered his attacks at first.

Flashy/Lightspeed Flash felt less redundant compared to other names but fair enough.
