Yeah those Nash challenges were super easy and the only one I got hung up on was the very last one, because I'd never linked c.hp to b.mk before :shrug:

I actually did get into melty blood this week

I dunno why everyone made fun of this game all these years, it's pretty cool. Did it used to suck really bad? Was it just because blazblue didn't exist yet to show people what actually bad anime games are like?

When I tried to learn Melty Blood in 2007, combos went on for a loving eternity

After watching the linked video for about 30 seconds, yeah this is a completely different game from what I knew

Yep, this is exactly the version of Melty Blood that I attempted to play and this is exactly the kind of poo poo I'm thinking of when I take a dump on the game any time it pops up in FG discussion

Nice to see the game isn't an impenetrable turd anymore

He's kind of like Makoto except he has really bad normals and bad combos and gets owned by almost everyone

edit: also I can't be the only person that doesn't find the story mode art awful, can I? like it really isn't that bad, the only thing I don't like is that some of the art is drawn taking place inside of the training stage which is just stupid.

Given that this is the same guy who did art for SFA3, it looks like he suffered a stroke or really phoned it in

Do the taunt so it becomes a counterhit for longer hitstun? :shobon: Unless this is a trial.

Yeah I'm just trying to do trial 7 and the cancel window is not only super small, but if you cancel just a bit too late it doesn't combo

Incidentally, Chris Hu and Aquasilk are trying to guess what "SJW" stands for on the NLCB stream and they can't figure it out

Right now their best guess is "strong Jamaican woman"

KaceyTron owns, she is legitimately good at what she does, and the best part is that there are total marks who are not in on the joke

Also, 3S Alex player renic has apparently picked up SF5 and streams from time to time, if anyone wants to look out for that: https://www.twitch.tv/r_e_n_i_c/v/58905078

Some weird bug with picking Alex means that one or both players will be stuck with their characters having the frame data and properties of the previous patch until both players quit out to the main menu.

Okay so how do we pick characters from the E3 build

I've never played a lot of Street Fighter, what makes this a bad entry?

The game looked good at E3 and then capcom kept nerfing everything until we were left with a crippled game

Also, the release was seriously botched and incomplete

GameSpot did a piece on Weaponlord a few years back, and it's a good read like the oral history of SF was:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/forging-weaponlord/1100-6409025/

Long story short, Weaponlord turned out to be the inverse of Street Fighter, where the game was crushed by its own hubris and ambition
