The Magfest arcade room last week was streaming Power Instinct on three screens.
Yeah, Koihime hate around here will not stand.
More new Guilty Gear buttrock
Whatever you’re doing or talking about right now is pointless

Time for a real video game
edit for jerkiness: for future reference, this was showing some competitive Puyo Puyo, which is probably a thing only the fightman thread could appreciate, or at least I figured
Man, this is so cool to see at a high level. Much like every brawler, I wish the hit box for Z-depth was wider for both players. Though usually in a brawler, you’d give the player character a wider z-depth hit box and the AI opponents a narrower one or a wider hurtbox to be nicer to the player.

MIKADO is the best arcade. Check out their competitive “Street Fighter Cotton Candy” tournaments. They also recently acquired a Heaven’s Gate cab.
Matrimelee music is terrific but it’s better experienced directly in game because the backgrounds are perfectly integrated with singers and dancers on stage, music videos on giant screens, etc.
This is absolute truth and 'Baba is also a pretty sweet town to live in
A buddy of mine is about to have his first kid there and was dreading the prospect of having to move, but it all worked out

The first time I went to Mikado they were holding an Ehrgeiz tournament. The second time I went to Mikado they were livestreaming a dude trying to beat Kaiser Knuckle with 3 guys on live commentary. Truly one of the greatest video game places on planet Earth.

Splendid.
First Sol got a divekick. Now he has a motorcycle. Does this make Sol a Kamen Rider now?
Iron Galaxy putting WeaponLord into Killer Instinct because they can.
(Coming March 29th for Wangblows 10, fellow kids)
I believe IG has some ex-Weaponload devs on its staff.
It’s actually the creator of WeaponLord (and part of SSF2), James “DJames” Goddard who is head of combat design for Microsoft’s side since season 2 while Adam “Keits” Heart representing the mighty Iron Galaxy. Also one of the co-designers of WL and SSF2, Dave “Dr. Dave” Winstead was the character designer for Double Helix during Season 1 of KI. The more you know!.
But yeah, it was a running meme in the KI community because the roots of new KI came from the original WeaponLord team (Goddard and Winstead founded “The Collective” way back in the 90’s with some of the WL crew. That eventually became Double Helix after they merged with Shiny) that there should be a WeaponLord guest character or a reference. So it’s really neat they managed to get some WL in and making a more modern Tusk from his KI 2 self which the IG crew have done well. Also the power of the best friends zaibatsu we’re still talking bout Weaponlord in 2016 (it’s a good game)
Apparently they did some Tusk and Arbiter walk throughs on youtube and are doing a massive marathon stream to test matches for the launch characters and show some things off (Maybe new features) tomorrow so it will be inetresting to see how it goes.
At the very least, if you are part of the W10 botnet. Give it a shot. It’s a fun game and the specs are super low (You need a GTX 480 for reccomended specs so if it hasn’t caused a housefire yet, you are fine)
Just be aware if you find me. I hope you like eating flame carpet.

I still really dislike the idea of breakers and what they seem to do for game flow, but I’m pretty excited to give this game a fair shot now that it’s coming out on a platform I actually own.
I like that KI is becoming weird Rare Smash now. When is Snake, Rattle, And Roll guy appearing? Or Blast Corps dude?

http://www.radiant-entertainment.com/ Radiant Entertainment bought by Riot Games. Rising Thunder to be shut down on the 18th.
anyone want to Rise of the Robots before it ends
Was pattheflip secretly still working for Riot when he “quit” to work at Radiant? Was this his endgame?
They are changing the breaker system in the next season so the attacking character will flip out and reset to neutral instead of a soft knockdown after a break. What IG have shown of it makes the matches a lot faster and there’s no more easy vortex/mixup for the person who broke it. Neither will there be easy wake ups for the attacker as the attacker just flips back out into neutral at about half screen. The core of the Breaker system remains that Breakers are still always unsafe and it’s not a free burst so you have to commit. It’s better played than explained, especially when you start getting more intricate with things like the KV Meter, Manual Doubles, Air Breakers or Counter Breakers. But the Breaker system punishes you more for mashing or making your strings obvious on the attacking side and hammers you for mashing breakers on the defensive with lockouts so it does what it’s supposed to do. I’m excited to get into Season 3, even if I now have to work harder for my scumbag Riptor and Kan-Ra setups.
Also in that just announced news if there’s people deserving to be making that MOBA money. It’s the Cannon’s and S-Kill. League’s a no brainer for a fighting game and I hope it looks great.
I didn’t get to invested in Rising Thunder but I liked the idea of it alot. I just can’t help but feel sad to see all that work get canned and not seeing a “finished” product.
