I thought JWong was older than 40 tbh.
Justin’s a year or two younger than me for sure.
Dude has been on point a fuckton lately.
I’m definitely not typing out my Chinese exit story on phone, too much to type, but once I’m back on my laptop after I run some errands, pop some popcorn for it’s story time.

Looks like this guy has an update about the missing tennis star.
Yeah laowhy86 has been spiking it for a while on his exposés of the dirty side of Chinese politics.
His story about how he escaped the country with his wife and kid before they slapped an exit ban on him was insane too if you haven’t watched it.
And legit, I thought I was getting hit with one the last time I left China. Don’t know if I ever told that story on SRK. Pretty sure I did on JTM, but that’s lost to the ether now…

MBTL on launch was a wild ride. I haven't been able to play much of anything due to work but it seems stable. I get really laggy matches sometimes where it is clear that either the opponent is having connection issues or we are just really far away. I try to restrict my playing time with close friends who know how to play and live nearby.
A multi-platform beta would be really awesome since I don't really plan on getting a PS5 and just in general haven't paid for ps plus for almost 4 years now. Any plans for cross-platform or is that still a fever dream for most games?
Just thought of this, what do you think are the chances of the Orochi team making a comeback? They were my favs 🙂
One bright spot was that PS4 version was actually better than the PS5 version. The input lag tests were better by a long shot.
I definitely prefer having it on PC personally, especially if it runs on my laptop for portability. Plus performance has been across the board better on Linux with Proton than actual Windows natively (may also help that I have Linux on my nvme).
As far as Orochi, it's a reasonable shot at least as a quick DLC given that Chris/Yashiro/Shermie are all in. I don't remember them being in the same game since 02UM (which is AFAIK the last instance of the Orochi characters being in as well). It would seem like a bad situation if they had all three in and they didn't put their Orochi variations in.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do another beta before launch, maybe multi-platform.
I was happy with playing it on PS4, but I'm also curious to give it a go on PC. I have Windows on backup, but especially interested to see if it runs on default Proton settings in Linux.
MBTL didn't initially (needed a custom version to work), but Valve had it patched to work within week 1 of the release. But I know if it'll run on Windows for me, it won't take long for it to be working on Linux if it doesn't initially.

I love the pacing also of 2002, just feels a little clunky sometimes to play. If Nameless gets put into XV (which everyone is saying unlikely) I think I might have to get a pre-order in lol
I’m putting in a preorder regardless. The beta was the most fun I’ve had in a new title in years, and made me actually excited for the release.
Not to say I don’t enjoy others, MBTL is fun, but it wasn’t a game I was chomping at the bit to buy or play. KOFXV made me excited for the genre again.

Anybody else embracing Linux as their go to OS for gaming?
Been running all my games with Proton recently and the only hangups I’ve seen are some games not showing attract modes, but 99.9% of cases have worked perfectly for me.
Helped that there was no added optimization I had to do on my Linux distro of choice for it to be game ready. Probably also helped that my system is 100% AMD, which has better support than Intel/nvidia.
But I haven’t booted into Windows in months, and that was typically reserved for gaming.

That's great news cause I still can't max mode run in 2002 hahaha
Same. I love the pacing of 02 but hate the max mode. But the pace for XV feels kinda closer to 02 than 14 but it doesn’t feel like the execution is at all similar.

Does max mode do the autorun thing when activating from a normal still, similar to XIV?
Yes it does.
@delete_methe confirm system into specials tend to be from certain command normals if you don’t cancel from an actual normal. There’s a plethora of ways in this game between max mode cancelling, and using the offensive crumple. This is probably the easiest game to set up combos in the KOF franchise (minus maybe 98 where it was simpler).

I think it'd be nice to do it on occasion. I do think that for most of us, this is here to stay. Most people gained 2 hrs out of the day just from working at home.
I mean, I hypothetically can. I'm a developer, so basically anywhere that I have internet access I can do my shit. The caveat now is that I'm starting work with a bank, and they're saying sometime next year I'll be back in the office, they haven't said if it'll be full time or not.
I did hate commuting though. I was taking buses 40 minutes to/from work each day just before the pandemic hit. But I loved the office atmosphere.

Yeah, well last time I saw people I knew was for a funeral. So it'll be nice to just shoot the shit.

So fucking tired of being at home all the time.
Am I the only one in the world who misses going into the office and seeing human beings and not on Zoom?
Upside is I have a hangout with some of my college friends on Sunday.
Still would be happy to travel.

Someone who played the beta, what's the execution barrier like for this one? What would you compare it to?
Similar to KOFXIV. Combos can be as long but the input windows seem lenient enough for new players to jump in. Definitely not as crazy long as XIII/tight windows like '02. Much prefer this over KOFXIV.

Proton can depend though. And Linux performance can depend. Like my laptop is all AMD and AMD support is amazing for Linux. Intel and nvidia takes a little more finagling, nvidia has been doing better about make sure their devices are supported but they definitely have less likelihood of being supported out of the box by distros than AMD. I would suggest if you try Linux, start with Garuda as their distro is optimized for Linux gaming so it’s more likely to support nvidia out of the box.
