Dragon's Crown looks like ass. I'm glad Shadow over Mystara is coming out as an alternative. Who knows, now that the license is open we might get some sort of sequel.

Appreciated. It's a wonderful game. You can get a head start if you like: Shadow over Mystara is playable on ggpo.

Only the best beat 'em up of all time and one of the greatest arcade games ever. Also, Tower of Doom is being ported as well, but it's only quite good, not GOAT level. More info here. Also, obvious whoring, but I decided to write a bit about the game on that old blog I still have. ARCADE...

The point is that, in order for the game to be taken serious at a competitive level, there need to be way fewer instances where a player can hold out of a stun state. This was the major problem with doa4. This is exactly what the developers are trying to fix in doa5. This is really the...

You guess all the time because of counters. Guessing all the time is bad for competition. Therefore counters are broken if the game is to be played competitively. That's what I said and it addresses all of your "questions." This is how Dead or Alive has worked in the past and the biggest...

You just got one. You not liking it doesn't make it any less true.

I already said the changes in doa5 are a step in the right direction.

In doa you have to guess constantly all the time. It's a system where, in most cases, the least safe option for a player is to attack, and nothing is guaranteed. The attacker doesn't get properly rewarded for putting their opponent in a bad situation, because they're always at risk of taking as...

Reacting to everything is humanly impossible. The game is built around guessing, even competitive players have acknowledged that.

Just because it's a guess doesn't mean you have to be lucky to get it right. There are other factors involved. The bottom line, though, is that you're always guessing. That is bad design for a competitive game.

I wrote a thing mostly as a response to Dead or Alive 5's announcement. It seems outdated because I only got it finished last week. :<

I disagree. If it weren't for Tekken streams I'd still be an insomniac.

Hawkeye is my boy! I never doubted him for a second. Nerf Nightmare. ps. 80s style wrestling commentary is best. Biased as fuck and who gives a shit.

You are typing words and that's about it. Your points are nonsensical so it's difficult to give advice. Combos have the exact same rhythm in Soulcalibur as they do in every other fighting game. If you're getting hit by one and it's actually a combo you can't do anything. That's why it's a...

If you want to know what every attack looks like then seeing every attack for yourself is a pretty good way of doing that. One of the best, in fact. If you want to be able to block every attack in the game on reaction without having seen any of them before then I guess you could find a way to...
