"Trendy" Akuma. Are they even trying to give decent names for these characters? -

Funny I literally just bought Strive last night for $20 on PSN. It is a pretty game on 4K screen. Looking forward to learning the game. The Tekken 8 demo is also graphically impressive. Crazy that I can see pores on the male characters. Figuring out the heat system is gonna be a treat for sure. -

Alright, I'm finally playing tonight. Anyone wanna throw down? Edit: Y'all. I used to be on a wired connection. Moved outta my apartment a month ago and the WIFI I use has to be worse than @TWINBLADESduring a thunderstorm. I haven't ever had so many stutters and disconnects ! I wanna play, but y'all deserve better playing conditions than what I can offer. So until I get my own place again (which likely won't happen for a while), I'mma be on the bad stuff. Back to playing Ghostbusters I guess... -

When I calculated it I was like "wait this is way more expensive than the costume packs in SF4." LOL -

Every time Justin tells someone they're gonna learn today, he'll have 37 people reminding him of Evo 2004. -

I miss playing the game y'all. Lots of stuff (i.e. foolishness) has been happening in my life, but I'll be back on soon, I hope. Life is so weird right now. -
I'mma nitpick lol. I was expecting Raiden to say "AHGEEBABALAYHIIEEEE!!!" Nope. No such thing in this game. Maybe MK1 is better for it? Since that's out the way, I am actually very impressed with the animations. I'm trippin cuz I feel like I'm cheating on SF6 now lol
-
Yes, I'll admit that I've been among the dissenters with the animations. Honestly when the games were digitized sprites the moves and animations looked solid and impressive for that time. I went back to watching the first three MK games and the martial artists who performed those moves knew what they were doing. Their technique was crisp and believable. But I'm not too sure what happened after MK3 up to MKA. I am glad that MK1 will be a treat to play though from a visual standpoint. I can definitely do without the fatalities - they don't offer anything gameplay wise anyway, but sign me up for playing on Thursday cuz I'm about to get it in!!!
-
Right. Kinda ironic that Johnny Cage is the splits guy and his rising kick that should be one of the most impactful and fluid moves looks weak and stiff...
-
Yes - I didn't think I was just seeing things. The one move that I've enjoyed the most is Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick replacement, Dragon Dance. It's so fluid and both versions are actually very impressive. I'm honestly kinda surprised at the quality of the move. I think it's a huge step in quality from his Bicycle Kick.

So I’ve been more interested in MK1 than any other NetherRealm release. I’m curious about your opinions on the animations for the Kombatants. Since MK4, the series has had a significant amount of jank. This new one though is not as crispy as SF6 (think Ken’s free flowing Jinrai Axe Kick vs Johnny Cage’s stiff rising kick) but as a martial arts guy, overall I’m impressed by the animation quality and transition between moves. So yeah, what y’all think??

Alright y'all, I have a theory about the Ninja Turtles crossover. So lately I've been spending more time reading and catching up on the TMNT comics than playing SF6 (great reading BTW!). And I just thought a little bit ago that a sequel to Tournament Fighters would be SICK. So maybe just maybe the prices are higher than normal because Nickelodeon is seriously looking at fighting games to potentially get a game developer like Capcom or Dotemu to make a new Turtles fighting game. Now back to reading. (I'll be back on SF6 in ranked next week y'all! Anniversary week has been pretty fun and she's enjoying all the quality time 😍) -

I'm in Reno celebrating that one year anniversary with my wife. Y'all play some great matches while I don't have access to the game and today's Manon's birthday, so I know the commentators will have something for the Manon mains! -

Thanks Volta! I'll start putting what you and Will said into practice! I'm excited to play with Blanka. Noticed that SA2 is much easier to use than in SFV - definitely been having fun using it in combos. I SHALL BE CARRIED! -

That's what's up! If I don't get Blanka to Master before SF7, I'll eat paper and write with food!! -

A.K.I. looks like a whole problem for Blankas everywhere. Speaking of Blanka! I was today years old when I realized that after the install super, cancelling normals into balls DOES NOT REQUIRE A CHARGE. Disgusting.
