How they're not emotionally invested in a railroady subpar zombie drama, I suppose.

Also, c'mon, Kenny. The stupid risky-as-hell zombie plan was YOUR idea.

Nah, it's just not that funny anymore. I don't care if they hate Kenny or do things to spite him, most of the commentary is just "haha pick this because I loving hate Kenny."

It's just not terribly interesting, though part of it's to blame on Season 2 as a whole being eh overall.

This podcast taught me that melee purist are real. "Everything looks amazing but also it's not melee."

One game out of four should be a good hint that they probably aren't going to just make melee 2 but still :psyduck:.


That being said, Kraven Manor was awesome, I think the ending to it was kind of weak after how spooky the start of it was but it doesn't really matter too much. I'm impressed.

I'd rank it about 64 honestly. It's not something I'm willing to fight about because I'm a casual babby who enjoys anything as long as it's fun but I feel like people don't give smash 4 *any* credit which is a shame. Sure you're not slipping and sliding everywhere like Melee but it's still a huge step up and mechanically deeper (From my level of play, anyway). Some of the stuff Liam says is just a outright lie, like how there's no combos unless you throw (there are numerous actually) how "Sakurai said the 3DS is singleplayer focused!" (I keep asking for a source, no one ever ever provides one) and just argh.

It's a good game and it was just obnoxious hearing "Wow everything is super great to bad it's not melee" for the 3rd time in a row.

They could just have Pat play while two of the others talk and make fun of him for being bad.

Hell even if that wouldn't make for a good full LP I'd be interested to see it as a one-off at least. Any excuse for more Clover/Platinum love, really.

I always found it strange that the guys hype up platinum games go absolutely crazy about them only to never really do anything with any of the games. Back when W101 came out I was praying they'd do a playthrough like MGR (ironically) because not only would they get super hyped during it but it would raise a poo poo ton of awareness for how great the game is.

Part of me was hoping for Bayo 2 to get the treatment but nope. Oh well, win some lose some I guess.


Watching this Neverending Nightmare video and all I could do is laugh during the first half because of the kinda crummy art for the persons head but man as this video goes on it gets more and more unsettling and the art starts making more sense. Not a game I'd play but man is it interesting.

No one is going to run out and buy a Wii U because they saw Matt and Pat play Bayo 2 or W101... unless they're those same lunatics who bought them those Gurren-Lagann Boxsets.

LP subforum (and this thread apparently) has taught me that enough footage can move systems. Seriously there's a Mario 3D World LP that pushed like 15 people over the fence to get the system and even more to get the game.

Knowing the how big TBF is on youtube it probably would of helped move a few systems and the like.

Edit: For the record I'm not saying this would help them "save Platinum" or whatever, just that I think it would of helped bring attention to the games. If I youtube'd Wonderful 101 I get some guy who is CLEARLY doing it for the youtube money going "Hey subscribe subscribe please like favorite please please" while getting killed by generic mooks. Not a good impression to give people really (thankfully Chip's LP is here but lil late on that front)

Bayonetta as a series is way more satisfying then DMC for me. I won't say I dislike DMC but Bayo felt like a natural progression of the series and is better in just about every way. Soon as she gets styles I won't ever have a reason to go back to those games.


Also the final Jeanne fight owns and the only lovely thing is the missile minigame at the start of it.

Question for Matt, if a game shows up on Fisticuffs does that discount it from future Fisticuffs when newer versions come out?

Like you all seem to enjoy Persona Arena... except ironically for you. Same with Smash, with U coming out friends and I were wondering if you dudes were doing something with it and would kinda be a shame if this removed it from the "pool".

Edit: I'm fully aware I'll look like a idiot if I start the video tomorrow and it's the first thing the team mentions.

Alright, I'm probably alone in this but Hyper Light Drifter is visually fantastic. I love the art style and the animations are great but it looks super, super boring. I'm 20 minutes into the video and I ended up closing it because the lack of music, lack of anything really is just ehh.

Can't discourage anyone who likes it and maybe it's more fun if you're the one playing it but watching it is just kinda dull.

The games apparently a barely working cluster of coding. It's not as unpolished visually as 06 but it's just as buggy.

Apparently some speedrunner started the game up and it's turned into him just laughing and trying to find as many bugs as he can.

Watched the Sunset Overdrive video and man I have no idea what to feel other then "kind of lovely zombie land"

I love the art style and the colors really popped. Agreeing with the words popping up like they showed being a cool stylistic thing if done right but every bit of gameplay just looked super slow and dull. Bouncing off cars and stuff like super Mario didn't animate well and just kinda eech. Also it felt like a bunch of low hanging fruit jokes one after another that by the time the character went "boy this sure is a video game huh guys?" with a playful wink I just groaned.

Maybe it's better in person but it felt like all style and no substance

Just something we haven't gotten around to yet. I think it should be updated, but facebook icons are small, but also have to be immediately recognizable, so I don't think we can jam 4 of us on there.

Any suggestions?

Good point, would suggest pixel art (I have a friend who does some good rear end stuff) but not sure how viable that is, I'm a big dumb idiot who thinks sprites and stuff would suit a video game channel.

If you're not I hope it's handled just like those budokai games on the ps2. I remember one of them having this weird boardgame thing and they kept running out of villains so they just revived Frieza like 20 times and each time was accompanied by "I'll do better this time for sure!"

Hey Matt, how niche are you guys willing to consider for fighting games for Fisticuffs(or just for normal videos)?

Would you do weird doujin games like the Touhou fighting games?(Immaterial and Missing Power is a legit fascinating fightgame) Bizarre rip-offs like Tattoo Assassins? Regular crazy bullshit like Power Instinct? Or just plain licensed games like the One Piece of Kinnikuman fighting games for things you might not familiar with?

Watching the Korra finale and I have to say I find something hilarious about this giant monster using tiny monsters as a attack. "Yeah you understand it's a budget thing when you see one guy using other guys for a attack."

Oh and for the record Dedede ain't a villain. Only time he was is when he pigged out and ate everything and Kirby got pissed and got the food back.

Same with Meta Knight who just wants everyone to stop being so lazy and he just wants dreamland to be active. He's settled on matches with Kirby as "good enough" though it seems.

I'm fine with Pocket Fighter personally, it's just some of the animations are super jank and wondering if it's a good idea to borrow that style as closely as they are.

Animation wise the dude with the horns had a attack where he leaps upwards and horns grow out to hit and he just kinda floats off the ground while they appears and it looks super messy. Then the other character had one where she punched the ground and a explosion came up but the explosion has way more detail then she does and it's kinda jarring.

Benefit of the doubt due to it being a Alpha but would like to see some of that stuff changed before I support it 100%. Eager to see that mystery fighter at the least. I know I lost it when I ran into him in Shovel Knight back on release :v:

Edit: Also they aren't even trying to hide stuff with Subject 11 on the kickstarter page. Jeez.
