X-Men 97 has no right being this damn good.

Which is basically what Kendrick told him to do....in a forthright manner 😉

So I listened to Kendricks diss track. As a song, I wasn't feeling it at all. As diss though, he methodically took Drake apart. Like Pusha T's diss, its the best kind of diss because speaks to facts. He basically called Drake a grifter, bad father, etc. and revoked the man's N-word pass which just made me laugh.

The character is Rachel Phelps. In Major League she becomes the owner of the Cleveland Indians after her husband dies. She hates Cleveland and wants to move the team, but can't unless the attendance bottoms out. So tries to lose on purpose by signing a bunch over the hill or never was players. Unlike Square Enix, her purposely bad decisions blows up in her face and the team ends up winning in spite of her. TLDR: Her character tries to lose on purpose. Which would be a better explanation for Square Enix's decisions than them trying to succeed and failing so badly.

If didn't know better, I'd swear she was running Square Enix. It seems like they are fucking up on purpose at this point. RIP Margaret Whitton, had no idea she passed away in 2016 until I looked up this photo.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Square Enix has made a series of easily foreseeable blunders. The entire board and CEO should have been "window seated" for their nonsense. They sold their western studios and all the IPs for a pittance. They invested NFTs. Invested in block chain. They've neglected Nintendo platforms for a couple of decades now despite it being the primary place Japanese players play games. Which has reduced their relevance to a generation of Japanese gamers.

Which is cool but in a beef, for me, I don't couldn't care less about what's the better song. The more popular artist in the beef typically leans on that to get them the "win." I'm not super up on music anymore. Has Drake won any beefs besides Meek Mill?

At work can't listen, is it better the Chris Brown diss to Quavo? Because that's the hardest diss I've heard all year. I'm from VA. I know Chris Brown started as a rapper and his label pushed him to singing for marketability. So I wasn't shocked by his diss like a lot of people seemed to be. Dude is immensely talented. He could have been a lot bigger than he is now, if he had controlled himself in the Rihanna incident.

@Jocelotit's time for you to take a trip fam 😉

Yeah I don't really agree with a lot of this. Zeku is a stance character. He's not covered by Kim. If anything Kim makes Guy less likely. Laura and Manon don't play anything a like. This reminds of the Abel and Alex nonsense from SFIV. Lucia was not a "fan service" pick. Most people didn't even know who she was. If they wanted a fanservice pick, they'd have used Maki. Falke was poorly executed but IF she came back she wouldn't be the same character. Like Ed she'd get an overhaul due to Modern Controls taking her gimmick. Kolin - Not going to stand Ice Queen slander. With the less restrictive juggle system of SF6 and not having all of her cool shit locked behind V-Trigger, it would be fun see Kawano and Nephew ice skate all over people, let alone play her myself.

Cammy's Dive Kick is QCB+K. So you'd have to use Akuma's base set to have an Air Tatsu and a dive kick.

In a sign of how little Tekken 7 I actually played, I didn't catch that Akuma's new move comes from Tekken. https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Shakunetsu_Messho Saw a comment in Evil Canadian's Akuma breakdown video.

Oh my Gouka is going to eat good with this update. That Zanku Hadoken, Palm Strike, and Palm Strike Level 2 are mine. Hell I'm probably going to just ape his base move set because that would give me the Dive Kick as a command normal. Hmm....wonder if I'd be able to make a Gouken now?

So am I , the only one waiting for the @EvilCanadianbreak down video of Akuma? There was so many things that dropped for a multitude of fighitng games at Evo Japan. I can't imagine what kind of workload that's created for him. Edit: Our boy came through withe breakdown. Hopefully getting some sleep now.

He let his anger goad him into a stupid decision. All he had to do was yell "Who you calling a n....." as loud as he could. Every black student would have known what he said, and the situation would have taken care of itself.

@AriesWarlockI appreciate the work you do in this thread fam.

The Akuma blog post is up https://blog.playstation.com/2024/04/29/akuma-rages-into-street-fighter-6-on-may-22/ For anyone that watched Street Fighter Assasin's Fist. Akuma's level two is essentially what Goutetsu hits him during their fight. A devastating palm strike that sends a surge of ki through his opponents torso. Basically an SnH verison of Gouken's Senkugoshoha (Palm Strike).

Mena is an exceptional player. I always felt he never got the respect he was due. Hopefuly that's changing now. Edit: Akuma Blog Post is up. https://blog.playstation.com/2024/04/29/akuma-rages-into-street-fighter-6-on-may-22/

This is random as hell but it made me laugh.

And no one will play it. Unless something has changed since I stopped playing FIghtcade. 3S is far more popular than 4th Strike.

I'm surprised by this. Sony are typically asshats about refunds on PSN. Check that, they are assholes about this type of thing in general. I still remember the PS2 laser debacle. They refused to admit fault, got hit with a class action lawsuit, settled with no admission of guilt, and wouldn't fix your PS2 for free if it had been opened up already. Like people just sat around for years saying "let me see how this plays out". I mean look, them censoring the game post launch is bullshit, but it damn good game and I'm not refunding it over it. And lets be honest here, there is little to play on my PS5 that isn't on PC already. Just this and Rebirth. I've already played my Switch more this year, than I did my PS5 all of last year. If Shift Up is going to drop polished single player content that only takes of 30GB of space your hard drive, then I'm going to want this game to be successful. Lord knows the stalwarts of the industry have been shoveling out bloated crap with $70 point of entry that often isn't the whole game and even if you buy that $100 plus deluxe addition, you still got micro-transactions to deal with. TLDR: It's not worth stifling a promising up and coming developer over Sony's puritan nonsense. The more successful they are, the more independent they'll be. It's nice to play a "AAA" release that isn't well over 100 gigs, optimized as hell, and not full of micro-transactions.

SNK was worried about getting sued by Ricco Rodriquez. A Brazilian Heavyweight MMA fighter. There wasn't a shared likeness like M.Bison/Balrog, so I don't understand whey they thought they'd be sued. Ricco Rodriguez

Yeah I guess they don't fear being sued by Ricco Rodriguez anymore. Which I never understood in the first place. Marco looks NOTHING like Ricco Rodriquez.
