Hopped on SFV again today. Usually it feels rough coming back after being away for a bit, but things felt pretty natural today. I just get on and go straight to ranked. I always enjoy doing that no matter what game I'm playing. That's what I did with SF6. 

 

Was also playing a lot of retro games this week.

 

Dragon Ball Z (Arcade)

The first DBZ game in the Arcade. It plays...really weird. There's no jumping or anything. Pressing up just allows you to float. Game feels hella stiff, but it's understandable given the time it was released.

 

Cool fact: Freeza will intentionally hold-back in the first round:

If he loses, then he starts to fight seriously, and gains access to all of his attacks.

Even though the mechanics weren't exactly my cup of tea, I thought that detail was nice.

 

No console port for this one.

 

 

Dragon Ball Z: Super Battle 2 (Arcade)

Significantly better than the previous game. It feels much more in line with other traditional fighting games. One of the more cool characters in this game is Dr. Gero. He can control 19 during the fight. If Gero were to ever return in a future DB fighting game, I'd like them to revisit this version.

 

This one also remained an Arcade exclusive.

 

 

Avengers in Galactic Storm

Marvel Super Heroes 2. Well, not really. Cap does have some of his moves from there tho. It actually felt a lot more solid than I thought it would. You can call assists in this game as well. This game never received a console port. It's included in the Arcade1Up X-Men cabinet. 

 

 

Eternal Champions (Sega Genesis)

 

UOrK2nE.png

 

Mortal Kombat's Great Cousin. I love the fact that it's a six-button fighter. 

 

Outside of that, I am still complete garbage at this game. I can barely pull off moves in this game. Justin was having trouble beating the AI as well.

 

 

Weaponlord (Super Nintendo)

A weapon-based fighting game. It has tons of content. I'm trash at this game as well.

 

 

House of the Dead 2 (Dreamcast)

Glorious voice acting and gunplay with grotesque monsters. I played the shyt out of this game in GameWorks back in the day. 

 

This game can gobble your credits with the quickness. Not much of a problem if you used the Time Card, which gave you unlimited play for a certain amount of time. It was necessary for these Lightgun games.

 

Great game.

 

 

Time Crisis (Playstation)

Another Lightgun game. This shyt is too hard. Not the enemies, but the clock. Time runs down way too fast. I wonder if it'd be easier if I had one of those classic Lightguns to use with the game. These controllers ain't it.

 

That's all for now. Definitely got many more classics on the list for the next few days.

I remember when I came across Twin in ranked some yrs back. 

 

Tried to scum him out with a meaty dive kick on wakeup. 

 

He blocked it.

 

Then when I tried it again a bit later thinking he wasn't going to block it:

 

ON YOUR KNEES

I always felt like he was on his A game when we played.

 

Which is why I was sad when the netcode update happened. 

 

I could still play DR players, Panama players, and Mexican players, but Oregon was out of the question.

 

I was randomly paired with a few Cali players since the update. I'm still not sure how that happened.

 

Either way, we won't be bound by such limitations in SF6.

I feel that Bison's physical flexibility and Olympic standard gymnastics are often overlooked. SF EX and then CvS tried to shine a light on it by showing the sprite move in ways previously unforeseen. I am hoping we get to see some of this action in SF6. Also that stance at the end needs to be absorbed into the mainline series. It debuted in the SF2 AM and then SF EX brought it to the games.

And that is my daily Bison rambling for ya'll. Thank you for your patience.

What's up with people trying to shit on SRK now?  Yeah nah, the wack shit is this bullshit ass twitter/discord/content creator horseshit that goes around. Its barely an actual cohesive community in any one place. Its always "hey do you know about this one chatrooom?"

 

No secret santa, no meeting up wtih groups of people that actually care when bad shit happens to you, no moments locked in time that you can dig up and reread to laugh at them...Goddamn do these mofos just don't get it.

 

The amount of life issues that SRK held it down for me with was kind of crazy. It ended unceremoniously but doesn't mean it wasn't a great place for a lot of people.

I do feel that the Forum medium is PEAK internet culture. Social Media is great for bite size information, but Forums are the gold standard for creating communities.

I feel Discord is probably the closest thing to capturing that feeling, but it's tough to get older users to migrate their community to Discord if they did not start there initially. Discord also has new forum channels that I think will further cement it as the new nexus for communities online. I hope they never get bought up by bigtech  monsters.

Discord already got bought up by sony IIRC. You can integrate your PSN account with your discord.

 

Honestly...I'd rather have forums over a lot of that stuff. Discord is neat for some stuff, but I rather people try to communicate properly. The amount of people who just flap their gums like a machine gun without taking time to read is hilariously on discord.

 

Like if you thought people were illiterate in SRK, lemme tell you about how people are worse in real time.

Discord is more of a close environment so it's not a potential ad revenue and content, that is not friendly for documentation and research. Search engines doesn't crawl and infinite scroll is a terrible way of back tracking previous info.

 

It's more like a private group or group chat that felt exclusive because channels are not search friendly so it's not easy to convert new organic fan outside without campaigning your channel.

 

So it's not really something that would exponential expand on it's own organically, unless promoted or mentioned by someone popular or known.

Yeah we talked about it in the SF5 lounge a few years back. The conversation went something like

 

"Discord sucks because the only way to find them is to get the app and then you need somebody to hook you up with an invite to the chatroom. It isn't public like a forum is where you only need the URL."

That's wrong because there's a excel spreadsheet of all the discords and if you wanna find this one I'm in there's an invite here so checkamte.
