    New Trailer from Playstation Experience...

    Look at the end -- PS4, XBox One, and -Steam-? Are they going to release it for PC?

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    I like Winter Wrap Up a lot, but I have to give the nod to the Galloping Gala song because of the massive Sondheim "Into the Woods" homage.

    8wayrun has a new IRC Channel!

    One non-obvious thing about synirc is that they require authenticated accounts to see some stuff (like the #8wayrun channel. Or maybe it didn't like my 5 character nick until I registered. So if you're having problems, try registering your nick on the site and then trying again. I don't quite...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    *blink* It's a -girl's- children show. Romance is totally on the table (and has happened in-canon, if in my experience with laughable effect).

    Getting into fighting games, buying a starter-stick, help please!

    The FS3 is ok, but I did have it crap out on me during matches occasionally, so... The Hori SCV stick is amazing, actually, and can be had for $100. No real difference with a HRAP in my experience (I should really sell off my HRAPs, as they're gathering dust), but cheaper, and has a cover you...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Wow. Haters gotta hate. A key point to the appeal of the show is that the main characters present as late teens/20somthing women (who, sure, happen to be ponies; whatever). Like a lot of the better "kids" shows (think the Muppet Show, or yes, anything else by Lauren Faust), it's designed with...

    Guild Wars 2

    Is anyone still playing this? I should really get back to SCV, but I've had fun exploring GW2 for the last few, um, months.

    When someone complains about ringouts/spamming in Colosseo, my first urge is to ring them out/spam them. Does this make me a bad person?

    Types of Scrubs

    Heh, heh, heh. Hmm. The list doesn't include the "Policeman" scrub type that isn't based on legit online concerns, eg "ringouts are cheap", "NM/Natsu is cheap", "spamming the same move over and over is cheap," etc. There's also the matchup excuse scrub -- who explains every loss as not...

    Interview Time! Episode 6: 8WayRunners

    One thing I'd like to ask first: 1 person = 1 post. No comments, only your own answers. [Aw -- but this could be a fun discussion starter! Maybe another thread for discussion of answers?] Now let's jump to the questions: 1. How did you start your SC journey? I attend a small...

    Hawkeye defeats Keev to win MLG Fighter's Arena!

    Watched things all the way through -- fantastic. Ramon's commentary was particularly insightful, but it was all fun to watch/listen to. I though the "America" stuff was tasteful and didn't detract from the commentary at all (if anything, the point where the technical commentary ceased was...

    Official Soulcalibur V 1.03 Patch Notes!

    I suppose they could have added "It was a bug" after each change.

    Basic Q&A Thread

    Actually, you can just tap low with the JG input. But yes, a low JG is different from a non-low JG. Natsu has like 3+ UBs, you know. But yeah, I think if it's a low UB (like Natsu's 2A+B) you have to JG it low (but you can jump it)

    Quick Steps (Meeting Frame Data!)

    Basically, if the advantage you get from the previous move is less than the impact of another move, you may be able to combo into that move. Longer combos take advantage of a sequence of moves, each of which lets you recover enough before the opponent does that you can perform the next move...

    Quick Steps (Meeting Frame Data!)

    The newbie silencer is very good, though it needs to be updated to the new game. @EGSouthSky, you're quite right that it means that Pyrrha Ω's AA is faster than Ralph's, and that Ralph cannot block-punish Pyrrha Ω's AA. Impact generally refers to the amount of startup animation before a hit...

    Hate Speech: Stop Playing (Mindgames) With Yourself

    Thanks, that's helpful--it's particularly useful for response training where a limited, but not predictable set of stimuli is exactly what you want. I've wanted that back to work on <s>Clean Hits</s> Just Guards, too. [no idea what made me type -that- error]

    Hate Speech: Stop Playing (Mindgames) With Yourself

    That's what I'm talking about, though. Drilling isn't just something you do in a woodshop, and training mode isn't just about execution. The easiest way you fix your muscle memory is to construct a drill that sets up the situation you want to improve in, then drill until you're doing a right...

    Hate Speech: Stop Playing (Mindgames) With Yourself

    Train? The way you get yourself able to do stuff in a real match is to set it up as a trained response by drilling until you do it without thinking (and ideally with varied inputs with different "correct" responses so you're responding to the actual input, not just repeating something...

    Hate Speech: Stop Playing (Mindgames) With Yourself

    It kinda doesn't, actually. You're better if you win, you're worse if you lose. So if the casual guy who doesn't know from moveset, frames, and combos is consistently beating you ragged with, say, nothing but Pyrra Omega's BB...and I certainly have beaten someone by picking up Pyrrha O, and...
