melee island (fighting game club)

ohhh that’s why the design philosophy for this game appears to be “make something Maximilian Dood would like”

Put Terry in Street Fighter.
KOF isnt good enough.

alpha 2 has a more fun than most games with win icons. every character has a different one for a custom combo finish.
in most areas, i prefer alpha 3, but a3’s bigger roster and wider scope meant that some of these little details got neglected.

Alpha 3 is super chintzy compared to 2, it’s all about mechanics and has a lot less style and visual cohesiveness

Oh no his wrist clips through his watchband @1:10, that will set off all the people who couldn’t stop complaining about model clipping on the load screen characters in V. Anyway, good trailer, massive level of detail, Capcom seem determined to spend their opposition into the ground.

I would suggest looking at Granblue VS. Its currently the most modern version of the big names that feels more like a footsies fighter from the early 90s. It’s the most grounded fighter outside of SFV. No double jumps or air dashes outside of some specific characters.

that’s both entirely fair and frustrating because I hate all the character design

Haven’t seen something so aggressively Arcsys since: ‘The wonder has called upon new seeds’

This probably just means I’m a mark for overblown pseudo-fantasy tropes, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with some of them so far : )

Blocking drains meter! = o

I like Jamie with his hair down (7:07). (Update: oh right, his hair comes down when he gets drunk enough)

So much footsies!

Modern ArcSys move list too:

god it’s so ugly, like killer instinct ugly

it is but I feel like they’ve been insistent for like 15 years now that they really do want this grotesque hyper-saturated, carefully-modelled look, and this is the first time it’s even come close to working for me (including the recent samsho which is also hideous)
