RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 07-20-2017
I don't know how this came ito existence... but I'm glad it did. LOL.
[spoiler= - A story of EVO announcements - by Phantom_Miria]
A lonely cat walks on stage
Jubei: "Hi, it's me, Jubei! The badass anime cat who has a sword for some reason!
I'm not really sure what the hell I' supposed to be or what is going on in Blazblue story, but I assure you I'm the hypest shit ev-"
Suddenly a young man with blue-ish hair teleports on the stage, throwing the anime cat back to obscurity
Trunks: "Piss off! Nobody cares about weird anime like you, mainstream anime will rule the FGC!"
Trunks turns Super Saiyan
Trunks: "That's right! It has already been written that Dragon Ball's takeover of the FGC is all but inevitable! Soon the names of Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, Moron Kombat, and most of all, MAHVEL, will all lie forgotten and humiliated before the eternal dominance of our vastly overrated anime from the '80s! I didn't list Smash, because even a dumbass Dragon Ball character like me knows that Smash is not a real fighting gam-"
Suddenly, and epic Skeleton Man epically divekick into the stage, kicking the Saiyan back where he belongs!
SKULLOMANIA: "NOT SO FAST! Skullomania will not allow you to step on the hopes and dreams of those that don't want the FGC to be ensnared by an overrated series such as you! Arika will save the FGC and lead it into a new era of prosperity and harmony. Sure, the animations in my games are still pretty much those of EX Alpha Plus, and Arika hasn't made a big videogame in forever, but I assure you that the finished product will blow your socks off! Mh! Wha-"
"DOUBLE REPPUKEN!"
SKULLOMANIA gets blasted into heavens as Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard walks on the stage!
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "HA!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard smiles at the crowd!
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "Bring it on!"
All the women in the audience are instantly impregnated!
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "I'll destroy you all!"
Worrisomely enough also half of the men.
Heihachi: "Mh? Oh! Don't pay too much attention to me. I'm just here to job for the new guy! Take this!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "PREDICTABO!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard performs the sickest of parries on Heihachi, one-shotting him with the greatest of ease!
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "Stay down, maggot! Now, who's ever going to challenge me!?"
...
Geese awkardly looks around
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "... I said: who is ever going to challenge me?"
Suddenly a tiny but very happy Asian man rises on the stage
Ono-Senpai: "Herro, herro Ebrywun! Fenk you, fenk you fo' support Sutoree Fighta and Mahvel Capcom stream. Becoz' of you evry we tournmnt have game Mahvel Capcom Infinite, and ask you for a support this game. Fank you! So, today, I have something news to you!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "Eh!?"
Ono-Senpai: "So, to be, watch this trailer. Purise!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "What kind of preposterous language is that!? Hittite?"
Abigail enters on the stage
Abigail: "BRRM, BRRM, BRRM, NEEEEEK! Hur, hur, hur."
...
Jubei: "..."
Trunks: "..."
SKULLOMANIA: "..."
Heihachi: "..."
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "..."
Ono-Senpai: "So, Fank you, fank you very much!"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "What the fuck am I even looking at!?"
Ono-Senpai: "So, erryone kno', it's Shoryuken time. So, stand up, purise erryone. OKAY? SREE, TOO, JUAN-"
Geese 'Motherfucking' Howard: "No, you just wait a minute!"
Ono-Senpai: "SHORYUKEN!"

Jedah rushed to the stage
Jedah: "Hey guys, wait! I'm cool too! I know you knew I was coming from a month, but I'm still a sick announcement! First male Darkstalkers character in Marvel! Think of the social justice! Guys! Guys?..."
FilipinoChamp: "Man, I still can't believe Jedah is in Marvel! I totally didn't knew he was coming until Combofied showed me the select screen. I totally didn't see it coming guys, so cool!"
Jedah: "Oh, fuck off!"

RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 07-21-2017
A new Marvel VS Capcom Infinite trailer debuted last night at San Diego Comic-Con 2017.
New sports-themed costumes headed to Street Fighter 5 on July 25th
Shoryuken.com recently posted the viewer stats from Twitch of this year's EVO tournament.
RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 07-26-2017
So... what do you guys think of Abigail's character story?
Personally, I found it to be "meh". I understand that they wanted to go for something more 'light' and 'humorous' but Abigail doing the vroom vroom thing like he was trying to speak "car engine" hoping his car would answer back is just.... I mean, really?
The only things I actually liked about his story were Alex's banter (It made legit crack a smile) and the cameos of the J, Axl and Roxy (love it when they keep it consistent) at the end.

He's definitely gotten bigger since his first appearance. Puts Hugo to shame.

He not only puts Hugo to shame in the muscle department, but also in the smarts as well. You see, contrary to his story potrayal, Abigail's winquotes show him to be more akin to a a jock with crude humor. He's not the usual big, potato brain guy. You can see in the way he adresses Alex, Urien and Akuma that he's not naive or overtly childish.
Perphas said winquotes portray him as how he is AFTER the character story, or maybe just having his car stolen gets the best of him. This is just a theory, mind you.

RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 08-06-2017
So I recently found this at the SF story thread at the SRK forums:
[spoiler]
Great_Dark_Hero: I agree on the notions above. What would you guys change to make them a bit more... relevant to the actual plot?
More specifically, making it so that the shotos are written better into the main idea revolving around preventing M. Bison's schemes?
Shockdingo: I don't know what I'd do with Ryu to make him more relevant. The original idea of Bison killing Gouken could have done it and been interesting, if not typical.
For Ken in SF3 era, I think it was Yagami, said that having Ken discover Illuminati roots in his family and having him and Necro encountering each other could make for some great moments. I feel like that would be a great way to make him relevant to the story and not be in Ryu's shadow forever.
YagamiFire: Yup. That was my story pitch.
Have Ken trace back money and holdings in his family to the Illuminati (who are still entrenched in the Masters Foundation and siphoning funds, etc) and start to investigate them. This leads to a confrontation with Necro. Necro & Ken would get character development as they both actually fight for loved ones and not for themselves (Ken for his family, Necro for Effie). You'd also get some good friction between them because Ken is a rich kid born with everything and Necro is a poor kid born with nothing. So they have stuff in common while still being very much opposites. Interestingly, Ken would also see that Necro is a lot like himself when he was young...fiery, hot-tempered and eager to prove himself. Necro doesn't have the mooring of a rivalry with someone like Ryu though...which means Necro is in danger of going too far.
Eventually Necro would also discover that Ken's family (not just his company) is tied to the Illuminati itself and would get very heated about this which leads to another confrontation between the two since Necro would naturally be very distrustful of ANYONE with blood ties to the Illuminati.
For context, the "notions above" are about people saying that the shotos feel somewhat forced whithim the Shadaloo side of the story.
Also, acoording to outdated suplementary material, it was teased that Ryu, Ken and Dictador shared the same master, obviously this is no longer truth.

[/spoiler]
So what do you guys think of this? Personally, I would like to see this idea become a reality.
RE: Fighting Games - Psychospacecow - 08-07-2017
Can't say I have that good an understanding of SF lore, but that'd be pretty cool.

Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta confirmed as new characters. Android 18 and 16 confirmed as new characters.
18 uses 17 in one of her combos so he is unlikely to be joining the fray.
Androiad 16 plays a prominent role in the game's "what-if" story mode.

RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 08-20-2017
SNK producer claims many new fighting games are in development
Garou: Mark of The Wolves 2 should be their main priority. Why? Simple math:
Amount of time people have been waiting for Garou 2: 18 years
Amount of time people have been waiting for Half-Life 3: 10 years
It's not rocket science. Garou 2 should come first; before KOF XV or a new Samsho.
RE: Fighting Games - ZpaceJ0ck0 - 08-23-2017
So, what are your whishes for the 30th anniversary of the Street Fighter series? The only thing I want for it is a retooled version of that one Street Fighter title that ACTUALLY needs it, you know, that one (from 7 months ago):
(01-18-2017, 05:04 PM)ZpaceJ0ck0 Wrote: ^ Fun character or not, I still believe that another version of SF2 was completely unnecesary. And for those out there asking, no, I wasn't joking when I said I wanted a SFI update/remake on the Nintendo Switch thread, with SFII gameplay and with every character being playable.That's literally the only wish I have for the 30th anniversary, for real.
- The game is barely playable
- Moves only come out when they feel like coming out
- Only one playable character with a clone for versus mode
- Has a couple of characters that were never playable and probably never will (Retsu, Geki, Joe...)
- It'd be interesting to see a version of SFI that plays well
- Good way to celebrate the 30th anniversary
- We could play as Eagle again
I understand that it was Capcom's first attempt at a fighting game (and a rather primitive one at that), and that people probably didn't mind about the controls back then. But SFII (a game that is already competent by itself) has tons of updates, that improved upon an already good game, and SFI (a game that would greatly benefit from an update) has none.
There is a MUGEN game that sort of did this, but I'd like to see an official version of it.
Looks like I'm asking for too much.
What about you, guys?
RE: Fighting Games - Kakariko Kid - 08-23-2017
Having never played SF1, I have no desire to play it as it is. SF2 was great fun and if they could do something at least like SF2, that would be great.

(07-12-2017, 02:31 PM)ZpaceJ0ck0 Wrote: So I recently found out that Eric Jacobus (does he really need any introduction at this point?), in association with Men's Health Malaysia and Bandai Namco, released three Tekken styled workout videos. Normally I would put this on the youtube videos thread or the sports one, but since the general theme of the each video ties to Tekken and this being endorsed by Namco themselves.... yeah, I think this place is fitting.
[spoiler=the three videos]
As a straight man myself I must admit that Eric can give Cammy a run of her money in the ass department.
What, why are you looking me like that? I mean, have you SEEN it?!
[/spoiler]
I'm bringing this up because I just found out that Eric released another training video, this one focusing on Systema Kettlebell Workout (aka the kind of training that Sergei Dragunov himself problably goes trought on a daily basis... actually I think his training regime is way harder than this, LOL).
