Rising Thunder is getting released and the devs are open sourcing the server too. Pretty neat! The game is basically a more simplified clone of SF4 but I still thought it was a fun game, plus it played really well online

Did Team Ninja seriously just hold a funeral for the DOA series or is my twitter feed making shit up? 

Not necessarily a funeral. But it's definitely put on ice until they decide to milk DOA6.

Tecmo is like the second Konami. Just utterly baffling decisions when it comes to AA gaming.

You know what SFV needs?  More Chun-Li costumes!  There's just not enough of them!

大型のアップデートとしては、今回が最後のアップデートになる予定です。もちろん、今後もゲームバランスの調整は継続しておこなっていきますので、参戦ファイターも増えてにぎやかになった『ARMS』を、今後ともお楽しみいただければ幸いです!"

"As a major update, this one [the just released v.5 update] will be the last update. Of course, we will continue to adjust the game's balance in the future, so I hope you will continue to enjoy ARMS."

Why tf isn't Bulma playable in dbfz

[Beezy]

When has Bulma ever been playable in a DBZ fighter?

[Himu]

Who cares? We are talking about a company that made a character like Jack-O. I want Bulma and want her to be a pure zoner who uses gadgets to zone and low defense.

[Himu]

The lack of female characters has been disappointing. No chi chi, videl, launch; etc just 18 and ssj chick I don't know because I'm catching up on dbs.

[Himu]

Chi chi is playable in Super Dragon Ball Z.

Oops. Meant Launch, not Bra.

[Himu]

If Yamcha can be playable so should the rest of the girls.

[Tasty]

Every character ever was playable in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3.

[Himu]

We are talking about a company that made new characters in BlazBlue just because they showed up in story mode that one single time and aren't consequential to the story at large. Arguing fighting game characters shouldn't be playable in a fighting game because "they aren't important" or whatever is butt fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. Character variety is good and the life blood of a fighting game. GIVE US BULMA.

[Himu]

With Arcsys!

[Tasty]

Arale was playable in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

The lack of female characters has been disappointing. No chi chi, videl, launch; etc just 18 and ssj chick I don't know because I'm catching up on dbs.

Nope...just 18.  This is the current known roster:

Android 16
Buu (Kid Buu)
Good Buu (Majin Buu)
Frieza (100% with Golden transformation)
Ginyu with Ginyu Force Assists
Gohan (Kid)
Gohan (Adult)
Goku (Normal, SSJ, SSJ3)
Gotenks (SSJ3)
Krillin
Nappa
Perfect Cell
Piccolo
Super Saiyan Blue Goku
Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta
Tenshinhan with Chaozu Assists
Trunks (SSJ Future)
Vegeta (Normal, SSJ)
Yamcha
Android 18 with Android 17 Assists
Beerus
Hit
Goku Black

New female character Android 21 isn't playable, IIRC.  I suspect she'll be made playable later and we'll see more females appear as DLC or in the inevitable sequel, like the new female saiyans introduced in Super.  Less SUPER SAIYAN 1 2 3 RED BLUE YELLOW GREEN PURPLE ORANGE LUCKY CHARMS variants and more character variety, please. 

I totally agree with Himu here- A tech-using Bulma would fit right into an Arcsys game.  So would personality-switching Lunch.  Hell, you can throw in future Mai, too with a gun-focus.  But I think it will be Caulifla and Kale if there's more female characters- the latter in particular turns into a huge, hulking super saiyan and is essentially a female Broly. 

[Himu]

That roster list is paltry!

[bork]

That's pretty big for a new game developed by Arc System Works.

[Tasty]

Nappa seems like a waste. Who was asking for him?

[Himu]

That's pretty big for a new game developed by Arc System Works.

Oh, it's long. But too many wasted spots.

Nappa seems to have an interesting game plan.

[nachobro]

Not to mention there's eight more coming with the season pass

SFV AE "leaked" and at least people seem to be confirming that Capcom is adding in basic features to the game. Looks to be on a solid track

[Himu]

SRK forums closing.

[bork]

DBZ Fighters open-beta is this weekend.

Then AE is Tuesday

SRK forums closing.

Can't even remember the last time I posted there and I think it was actually a place worth posting on maybe 14 years ago?  Probably more than that.  Nothing of value lost at this point.

[nachobro]

Trading Post and Tech forums were still pretty useful. Tech maybe just for me cause I'm the only person still doing padhacks in 2018 But it was a good central location for people to post about new products/PCBs etc. Now I'll need to follow a bunch of people's FB/Instagram/Twitter to get the same thing.

Pretty hyped for AE but of course I have to work late Tuesday so I'll miss the first day. I'll go in late Wednesday so that makes up for it

[nachobro]

Actually it seems like lupinko is going to be setting up a new forum for Tech Talk at http://www.newvscity.com so that problem is handled

[Himu]

Yeah it was useful for arcade stick shit. Where do I go for that now?

[Tasty]

They should delete the whole site too while they're at it.

looks like it'll be that NewVSCity site once its up

I still think Mr. Wizard is a douchebag, so let someone else start up a new fgc forum.  Although why not just go to Reddit?

Reddit isn't the same and there's no arcade stick reddit with all the stuff that was the trade forums at SRK. Nacho and I also use Reddit.

lupinko is doing the hosting/setup.

Good news.

[thisismyusername]

Nah, Mr. Wizard should just retire, bitch. Dude's completely on Capcom's dick and Evo would be better off if there wasn't like 3 Capcom titles yearly in it.

(Same with Smash, which should be completely taken out of Evo.)

[nachobro]

I would also be a fan of no one attending EVO anymore so they could downsize and go back to being on the Strip but I don't think that's happening at this point.

Also I'm fine with Smash 4 at EVO but Melee should definitely get fucked

[Himu]

why isn't melee a side tourney yet

[nachobro]

cause it gets around 1500 or more people still entering somehow

[thisismyusername]

why isn't melee a side tourney yet

Because Smash's community is stupidly clinging onto it.

It's like SF2 having a main-stage at every event. I mean sure, it's a good game, but it's old. Let the newer shit be main-stage'd.

[Himu]

Why? Move on to the new game. Is the game figured out yet?

[thisismyusername]

It's been figured out for years.

[bork]

I just want them to do something about the GF stuff at the end of Evo.  Either start the entire thing on Thursdays, ending Saturday night, or split the final streams, or...I dunno just do something.

[Himu]

Like 100%? Then why keep playing? It's oldhat. Is it still competitive?

[Himu]

Rewatched this video. I love the fireball wars in SFII. One of the biggest reasons it's my favorite fg is the poker like situations. Being able to keep up with someone in terms of dexterity is too fun. And they're right in that Ryu vs Guile is the GOAT matchup, especially if you're Ryu.

[nachobro]

Because Melee purists don't like Smash. They like Melee. If a game isn't exactly Melee, it is unacceptable to them. This is also why Melee HD will fail competitively if it actually comes out.

They of course overlook that for a game to be "Melee" it has to rely on "broken" controllers or a hacked save/hacked game to be played "correctly"

Hado mindgames are the best.



the greatest match of street fighter ever played

[Himu]

I might have to pick SFIV back up one of these days.

And that match shows me something new every time I watch it.

[nachobro]

I played a bunch of SF4 with friends on NYE and this past weekend so SF has been on my mind lately

Lol why do I fall for this every time.

Did we lie, though?

[thisismyusername]

Oh no, you don't back out of this. Please enlighten us with this mystical "lack of knowledge" on how Melee isn't figured out.

Or played on a broken controller.

“Because of how the game is hard to be consistent at, it’s one of the most entertaining to watch,” said Oyarce. “You never know who’s going to lose. You can see the best player lose to someone because of a few mistakes. That’s not something you see in many other games now. In Melee, you have the top eight who are just going to be in the top eight, maybe in different orders. But that’s what I think this game is beautiful for, you always see some new stuff that can actually clutch out sets.”

"There may be new things seen, but the meta/players are pretty much figured out."

[bork]

Melee gets a big viewership and entrants still, does it not?  And they playerbase is pretty different from Smash 4.  It's not going anywhere.

I just wish Nintendo would re-release it in HD or release an updated Switch Smash 4 port that everyone goes over to instead.  But even then the pros would cling to the original because of all the glitches they've gotten used to being in the game.

Like 100%? Then why keep playing? It's oldhat. Is it still competitive?

It's a little funny that you say this as a recent Super Turbo player. 

[bork]

SNK's new fighter...is on Switch!  Gals Fighters sequel!?



Looks like it might be kind of simplistic though.
