3D World, Sunshine, Metroid Prime and Wind Waker. I’m still waiting Nintendo what’s the damn hold up.
at this point it’s gotta be because they’re prepping a version with Lots Of New Stuff (online multiplayer??? (probably wouldn’t even want that))
especially after its inclusion as a mm2 theme
yeah i want it real bad too
if i want to sell my username online, is there any way to avoid getting chargebacked? like, all transactions are final? aside from cash, obviously.
I CAN AND I WILL

Bitcoin or wire transfer.
Note that this just moves the risk of nondelivery to the other party, so they may justifiably refuse even if they are legit because demanding Bitcoin makes it sound like you may be defrauding them. If you really don’t trust each other the appropriate instrument is probably an escrow service like this: https://socialtradia.com/social-media-escrow-service/

so, if i did bitcoin via like, cashapp or whatever the fuck, then i don’t run the risk of chargeback like with paypal?
Not sure how Cashapp works but Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. No possibility of chargebacks. To be certain you might consider using a plain Bitcoin wallet to receive the payment, then send it to Cashapp to cash out if you want.
Can anyone recommend a bitcoin wallet? There’s a bunch of them. I don’t know dick about bitcoin, I’m just going to want to immediately convert it to actual money and transfer it to a bank account, though.
I would recommend the Robinhood app for that purpose because it has zero fees for selling.
If I wanted to get into fighting games 1) what games should I play and 2) what stick should I get? I have all the consoles and PC.
I basically have no experience with traditional fighting games, but I play Smash Bros (Melee/PM) semi-weekly with a buddy so I’m not necessarily a stranger to tricky execution or competition in general.
imo MK11 is really meaty and fun and flexible and very good at teaching so that would be my top rec for a modern fighting game
Tekken 7 would be the closest competition, it’s huge and generous
they’re both a good value in terms of the big rosters, pretty much the best their respective series have ever been so you feel like you’re getting a living game with a decent scene that also appreciates its own history, have story modes that are actually entertaining, and don’t have cheeseball character designs. I don’t think any other current evo game satisfies all those criteria.
also most modern fighting games play well on controllers, needing a stick is like needing 6 face buttons
obligatory ‘super turbo innit, all the new ones are bad’ post
like any other input device sticks are entirely down to preference re: parts/size etc. & what platform you’re primarily going to be on
For each fighting game subgenre I play:
Classic-Style: Street Fighter 5
Marvel-Style: Dragonball FighterZ / Marvel vs Capcom 3
Anime-style: Guilty Gear Xrd / Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code
3D: Tekken 7
I like Qanba sticks personally, they are nice and durable.

The two modern games I’d recommend are Tekken 7 or UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st].
I wrote some shit about Tekken here and somewhere in there is a link to another post I made years ago that has a few pointers that may be out of date but some of the new folks who played with me on Thursday said they helped a bit.
UNIST has a great tutorial. Lots of SButts play it. It’s got a pretty active scene. It feels nice to hit buttons in it.
I’d recommend going PC on most fighters. Cuz that’s where I am.
Avoid SF5, it’s a horrible game with absolutely broken netcode.
For a stick: don’t go cheap. Either get a stick with Sanwa (or Seimitsu) (or maybe high end Hori) parts or just stick with a pad.

I’d pick something from the games which were at EVO, because those games are more likely to have a local and varied scene. After that, its up to you and what style of game you like.
And that’s really the main thing. People can tell you all about how great a game is. But you just may not like it anyway.
I’m generally not a fan anymore, of 2-D/side-to-side fighters (although the right game could win me over). and I’m double not a fan of projectile spamming (which is what may ultimately keep me from Samurai Shodown). So I play Soul Calibur, which isn’t stuck on a 2-D movement plane. And has very few projectiles. I’ve always been a Tekken fan and love Tekken 7. But, it would take a good scene to get me to keep my skills sharp. Soul Calibur really hits the notes for me right now.
UNIST seemed ok, based on the short demo time I had with it. But would probably need a scene to keep me in it. (There is a lot of buzz around UNIST, you may want to check it out. It had a surprisingly high amount of entrants at EVO, for example).
At this point, probably just gonna wait to see what’s up with the next KoF, if any 2-D game is gonna have a real chance with me.
Dead or Alive should probably be everyone’s 2nd or 3rd fave. But the pricing on the latest game and the DLC is comically/insultingly high.

@HOBO is 100% right on this one. I would like to doubly recommend UNIST because even though it has a few weird systems to keep in mind, it’s tutorial is an excellent overview of the 2d Fighter genre.
And a lot Sbutts play it.
It also has the advantage of a lot of characters of different complexities. You can easily stick with the simple characters and never touch the weird zoning guys and gals.
Tekken 7 is excellent and has a lot of great resources for learning it online. I have never liked a Namco 3D Fighter as much as this one. It’s intimidating but surprisingly manageable.
Also a lot of SBUTTS play it.
This is all of course from the perspective of playing them with other people. Neither has an especially robust single player. But like…you can do so much better for single player than fighting games. Fighting games are all about punching friends and having fun.

Play VF5 and learn a bunch of shit that doesn’t transition to any other game but is a lot of fun. Also learn the pain of being alone.

Fightcade is great if you’re playing with friends but if you’re playing randoms brace yourself for lots of slurs and CHUD behavior and people raging at you for no discernible reason.
