Mortal Kombat 9 was cool because it had dozens of hours of unique single player content in the groundbreaking story mode and the extensive challenge tower. MKX was a flaming bag of dog poo poo. Can street fighter v come close to the only good fighting game ever made?

The last time I went to a console gathering, they only ran MK and DoA. The guy who ran the thing said "We don't run that Street Fighter poo poo here" and when I said DoA wasn't my jam, he said "What's you're problem with it other than certain adult portrayals of the female characters" in the creepiest way possible

His MtG card sleeves also had naked anime women on them

I don't think I'm going back there

I kinda fell off the wagon as I got sick of USF4 after playing it for years and haven't kept up with recent streams within the past 2-3 years so that guy was pretty unknown to me. Yeeaaaahh... he seems pretty fuckin' weird.

Other than wearing a sonic hat and a fox tail, I don't think Sonic Fox does or has done anything particularly weird

He has, however, beasted PerfectLegend 13-0 in a FT10

Completing story mode with every character is 160k, then easy survival is another 160k, and then normal survival is yet another 160k

Sure, normal survival is a bit more tedious, but the game gives us 480k of points, which is nearly 5 characters, for free

Crap all I play is ranked and casual matches and training mode. Survival is boring as hell and I could care less about a story

I think im hosed

Story mode takes literally 2 minutes per character to complete

Survival is longer (I'd say 7 and 20 minutes for easy and normal respectively), but you don't really need your full attention to do those anyway

cool... ill prob run through story mode with each character. The problem with survival mode is that people figured it out in this thread that jump kick sweep is super effective until the magic moment the ai decides to kick in... and you spend more time on loading screens than actual gameplay.

Easy is only 10 matches and you'd have to be literally comatose to not be able to complete it

Normal is 30 matches, and frankly the AI isn't actually that hard so much as your brain is probably in autopilot when the AI decides to start doing things.

At least everything I hear about DSP from OG players still paint him as a cowardly, two-faced sycophant and the guy was generally unliked even well before he became "famous"

My personal favorite is where DSP put a bounty on Pyrolee during a tournament, and after Pyrolee took the entire thing, DSP did a total about-face and began kissing his rear end like crazy

Okay so I decided to play this game again and wow you guys were not overstating how good dashes are in this game. I definitely felt the difference when I stopped playing footsies with my feet glued to the ground and started dashing a lot more.

Am I nuts or is Nash's best anti-air just moving under the other guy (whether it's with a dash of f.lk)?

I own Skullgirls exactly because it seemed to have competent, communicative devs, but the characters didn't appeal to me and the reset and assist-heavy gameplay is really niche and I don't want to play a game with a microscopic cummunity.

And I'll never play KI simply because it's hard to look at, the ridiculous spark effects make every match look like a Judas Priest video. And the cast seems to be varied but 100% bland.

I'm glad I bought Skullgirls twice and never really played it, because now they're making an RPG made in the style of Valkyrie Profile, one of my favorite RPGs of all time :allears:

Why don't people like the word "shimmy," anyway? It's a good word. It's a fun thing to say and a fun thing to do.

Because we didn't need a new word for "baiting throw"

It's the same reason we roll our eyes at "microstep" and, a few years back, when Smash players used words like "lag" and "camping"
