I got to play in an online 5 Special tournament yesterday, the first I think I've done since 2018 and went 2-2 which isn't bad considering I've only really been back playing the game for about a week now.
 
If anyone plays or wants to even learn the game, I say let's give it a go. I've decided to learn Ukyo, so I'm in noob territory again. I actually started out as an Ukyo "main" when I first started playing (and didn't know what I was doing lol) but gravitated to Amakusa for whatever reason. a
I came back deciding to play Kazuki since I play him in 2019 but he's different 5Sp and not as much fun as Ukyo is.
 
Either way, we should get another lobby going sometime soon.

He walked in for a new hairdoo...
and walked out with a lower credit score and a higher rate of traffic stops.
mission...accomplished.
 

Glad to see Ding competing again. I thought he was considering retirement at one point

Man, like 90 percent of them bitches got busted faces.  Mad fugly.  But most of them got nice bodies.

Speaking of which. Youngest ever to compete for world champion just won the candidates!!!

You're right, but the people writing these pieces are overwhelmingly English major/ perpetually online types whose heads have been filled by pseudo-feminist BS who are mining power for themselves by being able to dictate to everyone else, on their terms, the difference between the characters that are "problematic" and the one that are "safe."
 
Bayonetta is beloved by gays, therefore she's safe. Eve is a character that, at least at this point, straight (and particularly white) guys like, so she's "problematic." Anything straight men like is a problem to these types of people, although if the same design appeals to gays or women, then it's fine. The whole thing looks like a big journalistic power grab from where I'm sitting. They're all just saying "it's only a problem if we say it's a problem."

I recently found there's alternate "star moves" in Streets of Rage 4 that are unlocked in that brilliant Survival mode... I got Shiva's and someone else so far; usually Shiva is one of my regular picks so that is more fresh on my mind at the moment... his alternate is that cool move he does as a boss character, where he summons 1 or 2 ghost clones of himself as backup....and of course this gets extra crazy in Survival since there's a powerup you can get where your star move also summons missiles from the sky.
 
Yeah, randomized "Survival" mode in beatemups should just be a standard thing from now on.... it is one of the greatest new ideas anyone has added to the genre.  
Random vid I just searched that has some good info/commentary about the greatness (and features the legendary main man Shiva)
ohhh I didn't realize "Fly Kick" was THAT damn good.... oh yeah that's getting picked next time for sure...

I haven't played DS3, but I wouldn't say ER is worse than Sekiro. Two completely different games and I love them both,  but if I had to give one of them the edge it would probably be Sekiro.

He was. Also if you watch interviews for the show, Henry is in tons of them, WITH Anya and Freya. He's in a few with Joey as well so wtf is she talking about?

Oh wow...we trying to put propaganda on Henry Cavill now?  For real?  Dunno how that's gonna play out cause I feel like most believe he was the best part of the show.

I am on my first playthrough of Elden Ring. This game is worse than DS3 and Sekiro. AMA.
