Is there a reason why anime fighting games have titles that are completely meaningless that are also not at all memorable?

That turned out way better than I expected based on the thumbnail, and the animation on those sprites is ridiculously good

Oh my God, if there ever was a fighting game to go in blind...

...well, the Touhou ones would be worse. But UNIEL ranks high on that list. There's GRD, there's the weird D button, there's charge, your usual assortment of anime mechanics...

I hope the next one they do is one of the Touhou ones. Woolie and Liam seem to have experience with them and I'm sure Matt and Pat would be baffled by the various abilities and attacks(Yukari's Train spellcard probably being the most baffling if you know absolutely nothing about Touhou) which would be amusing.

I've heard that they know it's loving dumb but it's catchy so they do it anyway. Similar to most American commercials are just some funny skit to try to get people to remember it. I love the Persona Dancing all night "Premium Crazy Box Debut"

I hope that was a legit tease for MK Armageddon as the next Fisticuffs in the last video. Either that or SVC: Chaos or Capcom Fighting Evolution. I'll watch Zangief SPD dinosaurs for days.

Well. it's been a while since we had some Scrublords...

(not sure if you should do it now or save it, but the PS2 MKs are worth revisiting. And by worth I mean I'd enjoy the suffering)

Has the Zaibatsu done anything with War of the Monsters? Because they really ought to do something with War of the Monsters at some point.

Would Vanguard Princess fall under Scrublords or Creepy Anime Bullshit? It's got more sleaze than Arcana Heart, but only a tiny fraction of the production value.

Creepy Anime Bullshit, because believe it or not it's a good fighting game, mechanically speaking. Still I wouldn't touch it with a 50-feet pole because gently caress that.

Check out the Godzilla week, it was part of that. Pat and Matt played a couple matches together, followed by RAD with Liam.

KFJ, pokecapn, Kaz, and medibot all do pretty good stuff together and individually (occasionally with others) though some of their earlier stuff (mostly the Sonic 06 LP, which was done in 2008) has some use of "that's gay" as an insult directed toward the game being lovely. If you're okay with that happening every once in awhile it's a really good LP and they've obviously stopped doing that since then. Also chiming in on Chip and Ironicus. Chip is one of the most thorough informational LPers while also being pretty funny with Ironicus, the usually know-nothing co-commentator.

Now that the main part of Silent Hill 2 is over with I would like to know what Matt's thoughts on the game are seeing that Pat wanted to project his ideas onto Matt most of the time with out wanting to hear much otherwise.
