Ayo, is that the homie Edmund back from the dead? Welcome back!!!

And the answer is...

Wait. If SF6 can run (poorly) on PS4... Is there hope for me? Can I actually try and be the very best even at 480p?

I'd rather use the wood for updrafts on demand. Iirc, 4 bundles and some fire and you're good. You could, but I'm not sure you have to. I think I know where it is? If it is where I'm thinking, it's a pain in the ass to get there. I might boot up one of my old saves real quick. Come to think of it, I should finish up that Limited Food run I was doing. That game gets UGLY when you only have 5 food slots. Probably the best way to play it though. I feel it gets a little too easy when you can just heal up so much on demand.

God bless @Bigtochiro 🤣

I honestly didn't even know MK12 was a thing. It's not like I'll bother watching an instant of its footage either way. SF6 is very distinct. T8 looks better rn imo. Maybe better is not the word, but sharper. It's fair that T8 doesn't look like an astounding leap graphically-wise at first glance compared to 7, but that's because T7 was the best looking FG of last gen unless you wanna throw ArcSys into the mix. I wouldn't because it'd be like comparing apples and oranges with how different the artstyles are. I'm fairly impressed with 8 so far. Still need info on that rollback though.

Tbh, I don't really mind the premise. Sure, there are narrative concerns like "Will the new characters and story actually manage to stand on their own", but I'm not immediately opposed by the idea. The protag design is just atrocious. At some point someone gotta look at the character designer and tell him to fuck off with that. I'm really hoping this one is actually customizable for once. Awakening was like 10 years ago and they haven't managed to put out a decent protag since that. I did notice the archer shooting on a tower, so hopefully there's more terrain variety. I'm still astonished at Celica giving people goddamn Warp Ragnarok. That's U N G A. 🤣

This game looks sick as fuck. Assuming they've dropped that stupid journalist off a cliff, Tekken 8's story mode should be FIRE. I'm honestly really impressed with how good this game looks.

I wouldn't mind if they were in a separate spoiler tab tbh. I might as well be productive and drop the Tekken 8 trailer here. Good thread idea. 👍

Now that I'm rewatching the trailer, I'm getting crazy Awakening vibes from that beginning section of the protag waking up and having to fight some "corrupted" with a Great Knight and a probably useless Cleric. The Mage kid stands in for Robin. You know someone will have a ring to summon Grima too. Presentation-wise, the game looks great. Yep, Emblems are the stat sticks of this game. They look waaaaay more tame than Battalions and Pair Ups, but I can't help but notice all the skills they're packing. The lack of a durability meter for the weapons is kinda glaring too. PLEASE don't be like Fates. 🤢 Hol up... Celica gives WARP RAGNAROK!? SSS-Tier confirmed, holy shit. This is hilariously busted.

What I'm really hoping for are better map designs. FE varies wildly between games, so it's hard to have expectations for it because we never really know how things will work. I'd guess the phantom summons will replace Battalions and Gambits, but I'm not quite sure how they'll work when it comes to progression and enemies. Both Pair Up and Battalions were available for enemies in past games, but I don't see random bandits running around with ancient villains in Paralogues and side missions. A break from the whole "fight the other playable characters" thing is also nice. Three Houses kinda fumbled the ball a bit by introducing the obviously evil and overarching antagonistic Agarthans but not having a golden ending. From what I've heard, Three Hopes kinda double down on it. The Protag looks even more ridiculous than usual. Incredible. The old Great Knight looks nice. Hopefully he's closer to Frederick than say, Gunter. Didn't really care about the rest.

Square Enix went ham with a ton of games that I can't tell apart. Oh well, Pikmin and Octopath aren't my thing, so this direct was obnoxiously mid to me. BotW2 finally got a name, Tears of the Kingdom, but the only tears I see are my own's because of that May 2023 release date. New FE looks alright and I did notice Micaiah and Lyn on that opening sequence. Need more info though. Presentation-wise, it looks great. The only unfortunate news is that Metroid did not have anything mentioned. It's ok though, I'm a Makoto fan, I'm used to it.

That Dudley woke up with SWEEP. He deserved it. 🤣

First Prime 4 Trailer, Trilogy HD announced. THE PROPHECY MUST BE FULFILLED!!!

Sagat was as high as a kite on this pic. 🤣

The netcode is another villain Stand with time-messing abilities. 🤔

I was scrolling down and got fukkin MIXED by that second tweet. 🤣

Welp, here we go again!

This is the real Smash killer:

It's known that the mainstream JP FGs are designed with pad in mind now. Those who want a pure, enlightening experience should reject the old ways of holding sticks (pause) and the filthy, repulsive ways of cheatbox. Pad Gang shall rule by birthright with benevolence to all!!!

That's the power of Piccolo stans.

Now, I'm not going to act like I'm 100% sure on this, but the gap between DP and j.MS should've killed the guaranteed setups. Either way, not allowing her to have a DP that brings that kind of bullshit to the table is always a plus.

They literally nerfed the most busted things of both of these characters. Striker used to be able to run up with an invincible DP and straight up guard break you if you didn't have meter to GC. https://clips.twitch.tv/GleamingAltruisticSnakeKlappa-Tk6IR52cgNf-3RI2

ArcSys pulled up on Swift Master like: The changes were fairly reasonable and minimal besides those, which is more than fair enough, the game was working as intended besides Swift Bastard. Wait, Launcher got no buffs. LMAOOOOO @TWINBLADES But more importantly... all the heathens and haters can hold all of that, Crusader got no nerfs.

The good thing about maining Ryu is that my main is always in. Suck it losers!
