Akiman is awesome

What I heard a while ago is that a LOT of people played Sean in 2I, and Capcom wanted more character variety, so they beat him with the nerf hammer

No lie, I had to submit a poem in grade 9 English class and submitted the lyrics to Stop Being Greedy. I only changed some of the offensive lyrics, which took me 20 minutes, and I got the best mark in the class. I don’t remember the exact comments but the teacher appreciated the message and the emotional format 🤣

They would all look better without them

I like the KOF OST. How’s the game? Anyone here play it yet?

I am expecting this to have nothing to do with Street Fighter in all honesty

Wait until August to see what happens. It’s not the anniversary yet.

Jmcrofts can’t parry @Dayaan 😤

That’s a really good placement man

Yes and No. Arcade Shock used to sell Qanba Obisidians that were modded with a Hitbox layout. It was unclear if they did this in-house or distributed them for/with Qanba… It seems to be factory-made to my eyes (warranty sticker on the back is in place and had a firmware update to handle the SOCD cleaning). Qanba never announced them, but Daigo plays with one of these, and I’m not sure if he would have ordered it from Arcade Shock. Anyways, they unfortunately don’t sell them anymore… Hitbox (as in the brand) has been going around sending cease and desist letters to companies making all button controllers, claiming they own the patent to them (which is ridiculous IMO). This only became public knowledge because they sent one to Junk Food Arcade (makers of the Snackbox Micro) and they made it public and counter-acted with a lawsuit to Hitbox. Glad I didn’t buy an official Hitbox after hearing that (not that some shady stuff hasn’t come up from JFA since), but the Obsidian Hitbox is/was perfect. I think Focus Attack has kits to still turn it into a Hitbox (there were converter panels kicking around, and not just the plexi on top, but the metal panel the buttons really snap into). I haven’t looked around for them for a while though. So TL;DR, yes and no 🤣

Well, last time we played, you absolutely smoked me, and I had a basic gameplan with Mai then, lol. I’m also just really busy with work. I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to play until Friday night, and then I’d rather play something I know how to play just to unwind and give my brain a rest. I also have to work this weekend so I don’t really have time to play until next week anyway.

Nah, I need to lab, at least to learn the game’s systems, my character’s normals, specials (and drives), a few solid neutral options, and a BNB or too. I don’t like playing games without having a basic gameplan and idea of how the game works.

@Mr.Cipher and @Volt, I probably won’t be able to play BBCF until next week or so. I don’t really have the time to lab it right now. Sorry

I probably won’t be ready tomorrow. I still have no idea how she works, just kinda ran through her specials and drive options, and then noticed she has a double air dash or a triple jump and knew she was the one. I went through everyone Cipher recommended just to make sure, but for whatever reason, that took a lot out of me. tomorrow will probably just be doing her tutorial and figuring out some basic strats to do. I should be okay for games on Wednesday if everything goes well.

On a side note, I am getting sick of my Obsidian-modded Hitbox. I am definitely going to get a stick in the near future, but I may just change this back to a proper Obsidian, idk yet

Honestly, I like Taokaka the most by quite a bit. Will have to pick her more up later… choosing a character in a nutty game like this is tiring after a long day’s work lol. also @Volt are you playing this often? Would be nice to finally get games with you on a decent netcode

Damn, this game really does has a lot of characters lol. I appreciate your help in narrowing it down for me though! I’ll try to dabble with them all tonight.

I typically like very fast and mobile characters with air options, and good mixups and pressure (Ibuki in 3S, Millia in Rev2, etc). Mai seems okay (and it could be my inexperience with her and the game), but I feel like someone may excel in this more

Sounds good! I should be able to play you when I get off work on some days (which would be about 11 PM your time). I’ll let you know in steam when I’m good, and no worries if you’re not able to play, or not around. If you see me around, feel free to shoot me a message as well. It likely won’t be for a few days though. I didn’t really enjoy Mai too much yesterday. She’s okay, but I don’t think she suits what I look for these days, so I need to play around with the cast.

Sorry @Mr.Cipheri won’t be able to play in a bit. Something’s come up. I’ll see if you’re around once I’m able to play though (but it likely won’t be for a few hours)

@Mr.Cipher I forgot how far ahead you are from Toronto time (I think it’s like 7-8 hours). Are you willing and able to play BBCF in like 4-5 hours from now?

Yeah, I’m definitely going to lab a bit more and play get back into it. At least so I’m better for our games. Last night was fun and I didn’t feel any noticeable input delay.
