I'm excited that Nightmare's 66B is buffed, and Dampierre got nothing but two buffs including one to his CE. Of my two mains, one banned would-be main, and four dabbling characters, the only things that got nerfed are things that I'm willing to admit were nasty. Lots of SC players, especially...

Tweets from Kayane today:

I recognize that CaS introduces quirks that many players find undesirable, so it's fine to ban it as long as it doesn't take a substantial bite out of the player's options in terms of winning and losing. When we were just talking about costume choices, that was an easy sacrifice to make. But we...

This isn't about Madison, me, you, or Oofmatic, but your opinion on Devil Jin has not existed since 2000 or even 2005 when CaS was introduced. This is a new situation that we should handle as a community with an open mind, not as the most legendarily ban-happy community in fighting games. It's...

Sorry. I missed any previous runs at this subject. I'm not much of a forum rat. Last I'd heard, what I'm describing was what we were doing. You've got to admit "banned by coincidence" would never fly if this situation had happened to Talim or Zasalamel. I recognize that this is a tangent for the...

Where do I go to bitch about Devil Jin being banned? "Banned by coincidence" has to be the stupidest excuse for a ban ever. It takes hours for tournament organizers to unlock all the other characters, and then it takes five minutes to slap together some kind of custom DJ character that conforms...

Wow, Eclair. Where were you keeping those?

The instructions are 47.5x6.5cm. The move list/character sheet is 39.5x8cm. I just noticed that you took the creases out of both pieces. It's all very impressive. Mitsurugi is the part I can't get over, though. I might have to print one of those out myself.

Of course, the original misspells "cloce," and has an odd spelling of "summersault." With your skills, I'd be tempted to fix that. ...But I probably wouldn't.

Wow! That is incredible work! I am in awe.

You should have told me there was other art you were looking for. I almost didn't see this thread. I think I might have some more art assets for you for a few of those exterior panels. I have to do some digging through my poster storage tubes to be sure. I'll update you before Friday.

I wasn't correcting you. When quoting people, it's a common editorial practice to modify minor conjunctive words to suit context, and use brackets to denote those changes, out of respect for the original quote. I hated it. All facts. That would be impossible. What a mean guy I am...

Says the guy who rambled for nine paragraphs about a movie that was dissected to death in early July. You're both right. Once the essay seemed to find the ancient, regurgitated point it was looking for, that point was spot-on, undeterred by all the facepalm-worthy stops along the way.

This post made me roll my eyes/sigh/groan so many times, I felt like highlighting them all. Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime is not new. Optimus Primal in Beast Wars was a different character. Tim Burton has never touched King Kong. The Shinning is the title of the Simpsons' spoof of The...

*eyebrow raise* So, uh... what kind of prices and compatibilities are we looking at here? That website doesn't seem to be finished.
