Transending history and the world,
a tale of dudes and souls,
which are truly full.
you
Yo, what's up dudes?
Sorry chat little late tonight. Got up and stuff, but I still wanted to stream.
Wanted to stream. Not a ton of announcements.
It's not a crazy amount of things that happened at the end.
Oh, damn, that did happen.
I saw that on Twitter, there's like new two x hail characters
and one of them's a ninja chick.
And I was like, shit.
One of them's a ninja chick
and one of them's like a giant, great sword chick.
Hmm.
Hmm.
I have to check that out.
I have to check that out.
I don't know anything about him.
I don't know if they were a part of my, what's it called?
I don't know if they're a part of any of my bullshit.
It's a cannon on a great sword.
She could change forms.
It looks like a great sword.
I want a giant great sword as character into XKO, dude.
But it's also a gun.
Wait a minute, are you telling me that it's a great sword,
but also a rail gun?
These are all good words.
These are all captivating good words.
Can I come apologize for the paper view and lower the price?
Ooh, do we need to make a follow up video?
But can you restream it?
That's the part that hit me the most.
Dude, I would pay to restream it,
but I don't know if you can.
No.
It's also still not free.
I mean, I don't think I give him a pass on that.
I still think that's ass.
We'll check it out.
I'll see what they say about it.
If it's still unrestremable, right at the video on it,
is he ever punchy video?
Is it less than like 10 minutes?
If it's still, we'll see,
it really depends on the resumability of it
and what's it called?
And how much it costs, you know?
You can stream it just on finals day.
What the?
What the fuck?
What the hell's the point?
That's like the one.
Anyway, finals is all that matters.
That's like literally what matters to me.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
I'm not even going to say that's a Capcom call.
That's a Capcom esports thing, which are very different
divisions historically.
Capcom esports is very different out here from traditional
Capcom as well as Capcom esports being connected to Capcom
as like fighting game developers.
They're very different.
um, Jesus man. I'll object that out. I'm curious. I'm curious what their solution was
because before they're kind of like, before they're like, yeah, we're really sorry
about this and not changing anything. You know, and it's like, blah, uh-huh.
Vote with your wallets. Yeah, don't buy it. Like that's, I mean, to be completely honest,
That's sort of the situation where it's not.
It's like the game is the game is doing fine,
but like this esports stuff,
the esports stuff needs to serve as,
this is a little bit of the issue
with the esportsification of fighting games, right?
Esports is there to serve as a conduit
to enable the purchase of more versions of a fighting game.
That's why, you know,
like you have gotten people invested and interested into players, so that eventually you
can be also captivated and interested to buy that game and play online.
It's a marketing tool.
It's always a marketing tool.
When we start treating like East, East sports, specifically as like a product, then we're
getting shit like this, where it's like if this is not in benefit of the game anymore,
like to be honest, the thing that I've always been the most interested about as much as I
I am like an FCC community guy at heart.
Like I'm always thinking about the game.
Maybe the game is what's most important to me.
The games have to be good.
They have to be supported.
They have to be enjoyable.
They have to be fun.
Then all this other shit will build around it, you know?
Yeah, it's not in benefits of the game or the community.
Anyway, we'll check it out.
They did this mistake with Overwatch as well.
Valve tried to do with TF2.
Make your match up then.
I'm on a wear with that.
I think it's a good idea.
Still.
That's weird.
That's very weird.
I'd like to check out what exactly is going on.
Patriot.
Thanks for the 112 months, man.
Thank you very much.
Chat, we need to go over and actually make a concise,
like recollection of all of the shit that's
changing in Tocon and why I feel the way I do.
But Max, think of the stockholders.
I'm sorry. I never will.
Got some trivia.
Thank you for the 50 bucks, dude.
I think Capcom would give up on DMC or
DMC, or will release some abomination without it to know.
I know they got coming back, but DMC one is very different with DMC three onwards, right.
But you got to admit, getting coming back as a director to remake DMC one with like, you
know, remake DMC one with modern DMC sort of appeal, that could be cool dude, that could
be really cool. And it is a lot different, don't get me wrong. But I think Capcom is going
to make DMC6. I think they will. I think they'll do it without eats to know. As a reminder,
like eats to know is, eats to know is one of the leaders of the franchise, but at the
same point, he's not the only one. That game is made by like hundreds of people do.
That game is made by like probably 10 to 15 other leaders that are also storytelling and
cutscene leaders and cinematic directors and gameplay people like eats and
knows the one that gets everyone together, don't get me wrong. But like, there's
definitely a path forward for that shit to exist. Now, Kamiya has said that he
wouldn't mind touching DMC at some point. Wait, if I call me as with his
own company, are they hiring the studio? No, dude, Clover's back at Capcom. This
happened about a year and a half ago. You know, no shit, Capcom hired several
people from old Clover, which is the guys that did like Dodd-Hand and Ocoming. Back in the
Game Awards 2024, it was sort of revealed that yeah, these guys are now working for Capcom again.
And their their first game is Ocoming. So Ocoming 2 is happening, which is great. That means we're
not getting a Devil May Cry HD, you know, remake anytime soon. That's honestly one of the
biggest remakes I want Capcom to make dude. I want DMC 1 vibes back. It's very
different don't get me wrong, but I think you could, I think you could definitely do it with a
current tenure ship at Capcom. DMC-1 remake would be fucking awesome. And I think it, it obviously
would not be able to play as much of the cheese of the old one because, you know, it is the way it is.
They're called Clovers this time around. Yeah, yeah, they have the same name, similar name.
Should I have fixed camera? No, it should play, it should functionally play like a DMC-5 or an
of all version of DMC5, right?
The thing that's my DMC interesting beyond the old games is that you got multiple characters.
Like you got virtual playable in DMC3, you got narrow Dante and eventually virtual as well on
DMC4, you got all of them, including V in DMC5, like that's where the series really evolved,
is that every single game you got an extra playable character in some way, even two, even in
in DMC2, you got Lucia.
So I'm just saying there's a functionality
of they have like a formula that worked really well
in DMC5 and DMC5's expansion, really well.
And I think that would be amazing in DMC1.
DMC1's a weird vibe game, dude.
It's that no other Devil May Cry game is like it.
It's sort of set the standard for that shit.
And I think it's kind of amazing to bring back
the original creator, like the person that started it.
It's no like, and as a heads up, like,
it's no is the legit, the Devil May Cry guy now,
because the franchise was under his belt,
and he made something special with it.
But at the same point, it's like, these are big teams.
There's a lot of people like Capcom doing this, shit, man.
Do I think that's happening anytime soon?
No, I don't.
I sadly don't.
And that's the issue.
Even, even dude, wait a minute.
Capcom admitted it.
They even admitted devil may cry and make a man specifically.
And then we got to make a man announcement.
That happened not that long ago.
And an investor's report where Capcom was even doubling down on the fact
that, hey, we need to bring back some of our older franchisers and stuff
like that.
They did not directly announce a DMC.
But they did say that this happened after the devil may cry show sort
of like blew up and became really big.
There was an announcement in their financial reports.
But pretty much happens every quarter saying that there's a commitment
to DMC as a franchise. So it was like, oh, okay. So it's not done. Something's happening
in the background, but this is after each and no left. What about DMC is back? What do you
mean? Oh DMC? No, that's not happening. We're saying we're saying devil make cry one. Yeah.
But that is not a continuation, you know?
Dude.
Yeah, thinking about a DMC2 remake.
I don't know if that makes anybody naturally very excited.
You know?
I don't know if that makes everyone that excited.
Don't make relaunch in 2001, 2002, 2006, it would be the 25th anniversary.
Well, right, but it's not happening any time soon, dude.
The comedy is working on O'Commie right now.
It's not happening.
Like, are they going to be celebrating the 25th anniversary
Devil May Cry in some way?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's a good question.
What's your favorite Devil May Cry game?
I think it goes to five.
Yeah, I think five's the best one.
I like three a lot, but I do have issues with it.
You know?
I like, I think it goes five and then one and then three
and then four and then two.
You know what, I would actually put DMC over to straight up DMC. Oh, yeah. I might at some
point, bro, I might put a don't-a-may cry over four. Four's got amazing combat dude and
some great characters, but fuck that game's a slog. It's a fucking slog. That's a hot
take. The problem with DMC is that if you call it anything but double-may cry, it's good.
It's like a legit good game.
Yeah, replaying, I've gone back and I've played for over and over again,
the combat's goaded.
It's amazing.
But dude, a lot of other shit in that game sucks.
Like a lot of enemies in that game, suck.
Some of the bosses are great, don't get me wrong.
But like, then then you have to retread the whole game over again.
DMC4 is an incomplete vision.
Shenzhen one, bloody palace.
I mean, I agree with you.
I agree with you.
Every time we've come back to it,
It's like this is so cool, and then you get to the point where you have to do it all again.
And you're like, I think it's made a lot better by this, hold up.
Most of my impressions, by the way, come from the original release of Diffelman Cry 4.
I don't have it on PC.
For do I?
Did I visit the update one?
The PC or the eventual re-release of it that happened in like the mid 2010s chat?
Did fix a lot?
It did help a lot, like active style switching,
yeah, special edition on PS4,
that was extremely helpful, dude.
There's not this special one, yeah,
this is just the old old one.
So, yeah, I mean, that's where my personal take is,
I think I want,
did they ever put style switching
in the other versions of Devil May Cry 3?
No, they didn't.
That's pretty much locked at the switch one.
Is it not?
They didn't. It's on switch only. That's crazy. That's the best version of the game by far.
Holy shit, dude. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy at the mod. Yeah, that's the thing.
It was it was modded into the game before. It was crimson mod for PC. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And that was one of the reasons why they did it. And they did it only on the switch version.
That was actually one of the things that one of the big devil
made cry guys that was on DMC5 talked about.
He petitioned for it before he left Capcom to make
style switching work.
Anyway, yeah, I mean, I did Matt Walker.
Thank you.
That's what was named was.
I did Devil Make cry, but I don't.
It's the issue of the franchise being tied down
to one person, this is the problem with it.
Resident Evil's not tied down to one person.
have multiple heroes, you know, which is why we're going to get a bunch of those games
as time goes on. I mean, hopefully the same thing applies to Capcom fighting games in the
future, where we don't have to be specifically tied down to one thing, you know?
Well, that's special edition three at style switching or not. Only the switch version. Only
the Nintendo switch in an official release, the switch version is the one.
If anyone else other than needs to know you'd be okay with doing it, yeah, I mean, it's just
to, yeah, I'm okay with getting a new game.
Um, yeah, I think what I want the most out of
Kamiya is really to go back to Devil May Cry 1.
And he said he wouldn't mind doing that.
He's been on record saying it.
I think in terms of new Devil May Cry,
I think keeping the Devil May Cry 5 team
and the people that were good at that game,
obviously, each of those not there anymore,
but keeping like a lot of that 10 year.
Yeah, let's let them do that, bro.
Hell yeah.
I'm down with that.
This cap comes internally, just like DMC.
I don't think we need coming for DMC.
For new ones, no, I agree.
I don't think we need him for new double-make-ry games.
I think we need him to remake double-make-ry one.
That game could do astronomically well.
That shit could pop off, dude.
And if your question is, does cap come internally,
dislike DMC?
Here's a crazy thing about this company chat.
This company does not follow the bag, they're very weird.
It's a part of the company that I respect
and also impressed rate it by at the same time,
where even in situations like I use Resident Evil
as the best example, RE6, Resident Evil 6
was a game that sold ridiculously well, right?
And in that game's effort,
did not get received very well, kind of pistol a lot of people off.
fans were not happy, but it's sold astronomically well.
They made a shit ton of money.
What was the focus after that to keep doing the same thing
and just collect the bag again?
No, guess what they did.
They re-evaluated the entire franchise.
And Rars and Evil 7, they re-made the whole thing.
They're like, all right, so we're changing everything now.
That was done directly in reaction
to the reception of the previous game.
And they said that.
They said that like after Resident Evil 6, like we had a hard evaluation, did they need
to do that?
No, not at all.
So, and as a reminder, Resident Evil 2 remake was the most obvious thing they could have
done for the longest time.
It was so blatantly obvious, and it took them forever to eventually do it.
It took them in a period of work, Capcom was not doing particularly great, which was the mid-2000s.
I'm sorry, the mid-2010s, to eventually like grow and figure out like you need to focus on your franchises, bro.
This is the issue with the company. Dude, we clearly should have gotten a Mega Man 12 after Mega Man 11.
We clearly should have gotten follow-ups to some of these other games that sold well, but we didn't. Why didn't we?
Mostly because the people that were in charge of them didn't want to just do the same thing again.
But they didn't, and in fact, like the dude that's making Ari
nine currently, I guess what his last game was, it was seven.
He has no affiliation with the other Resident Evil's outside of Ari
seven. He was the guy that reinvented that game. So now he's sort of like
reinventing it again by putting like multiple ways to play Resident Evil,
the newest establish like freaky first person, way with third person,
trying to merge a game that does those two different styles. It's a big risk,
You know, it isn't just them, hey, we're just going to do, and as a reminder,
RE78 sold ridiculously fucking well. We're guardless of what you feel about RE8.
And how I feel about it being a game that's sort of like,
when by the way, it's sad and I stopped thinking about it. No, dude, RE8,
village insane sales. Just it's at like top five best selling capcom games. It's made them a
shit ton of money. So, could they have just kept doing that? Yeah, they could have.
But they're not, they're like sort of reevaluating the franchise again and doing something different.
So it's like, oh, well, shit.
Interesting.
So here's, this is the part of the company that pisses me off, but also a deeply respect.
Where they could, they could do the obvious goddamn thing and bring franchises back and give them a shot.
They could do the obvious thing and make a sequel to something that sold 10 million units.
and then just give it to us, dude, but they don't.
And the reason they don't is because the creatives that are in charge of that
are not executively driven, they're driven by creatives.
The reason we didn't get a Devil May Cry follow-up chat is because Eatson
didn't want to make a Devil May Cry again.
He spent like four or five years doing DMC-5.
And then his focus and vision was around the game that he wanted to make the most,
which was Dragon's Dogma 2. Did that line up with everybody else? No, not so much.
Dragon's Dogma fans are obviously happy. But he wanted to execute what his vision was for
DD back in like, you know, 2012. He really wanted to. So that was his passion. And then what
happened eventually when it's like, well, now, can you go back to Devil May Cry? Because Devil
May Cry sold really well. And he leaves the company. He didn't want to spend another like
five or six years of his life.
He's now 60 plus years old making a new Devil May Cry.
So it's like, you know, respect for that reason.
They let him do what he wanted to do instead of forcing him
in order to keep doing the exact same thing over and over again.
So that's like, that's pretty cool.
You know, it's like, don't blame him.
But when soon as there was like a little bit of pressure
where it's like, hey, that Devil May Cry game
was doing really good, you know?
Ugh, now he wants to do something different.
like, creative's don't like doing the same shit
over and over again, man.
Like they really don't.
Having to come back and reevaluate
what made your old thing good
and just do that old thing again.
It's like, it's, it's, it's creatively bankrupt
most of the time.
Unless you like remake it, you know,
devil make, I'm sorry,
Resident Evil 2 style.
You got to re, you got to re-infission that bitch.
Make it a new game.
Do something that, do something that somehow
rides the fine line of being brand new
and nostalgic at the same time.
It's like, oh, yeah, there's a sweet spot right there
in this industry, you know?
So anyway, that's pretty much it.
That's why you're not getting a double-make-ry immediately.
That's why we don't get follow-up semegamangames.
How many God-game years of this take?
Didn't make any sense, dude.
The best selling Mega Man game came out in 2018.
The best selling one of the entire franchise.
And for some reason, it's going to take us 10 years
to get a sequel.
These games do not take that long to make.
straight up, they do not.
The reason is is because the people that were behind this
didn't want to do it again.
They wanted to do something different.
OK.
I mean, OK.
I think the Capgram is having the same sort of revitalization
with the Animusia series, which is incredibly exciting.
The O'Connor filled that void.
Yeah, I think that might be the only reason why
Animusia doesn't pop off from me personally
as much as others because Animusia and I've played it, right?
It's good, it's very good, it's incredibly polished.
But the reason on Emusa, the new one doesn't pop off from me so much is that, dude,
we have so many different franchises of games that kind of do what
Oni Mousha does in a variety of different ways, you know?
Like, they really do similar shit and new and weird.
I've always said that like Neo really feels like a modern Deoni Mousha in many ways.
Even though it's a soul's like.
But yeah, it's fascinating.
It's definitely fascinating.
And it's like, yeah, this is the opportunity for them
to go back and do something with Animusha.
Animusha is also not a remake.
It is sort of a reimagining of what that series can be.
Why are we getting a new Mega Man and I'm
making an X? Good question.
That's a good question.
It seems like Mega Man X could be a surefire banger.
How for established companies,
Capcom and Square, how risky is it for them to create new
appeasence instead of just milking old ones and franchises?
So the, in Capcom's case, I can tell you,
it's incredibly risky for Capcom to do new franchises.
You know, why?
Guess Capcom has so many dormant franchises
or existing franchises that kind of came back 10 years ago
and are now dormant again.
That's it.
The majority of Capcom fans are out here.
Pretty much like waiting for them to bring something back.
That has been gone.
That's what just what Capcom fans do straight up.
They're just waiting for something to show up that they like back then and waiting for
its time in the sun now.
So they've, and they've conditioned their audiences such because that is how almost every
single Capcom fan speaks of Capcom games.
Capcom did do a whole bunch of new IPs over the past few years, and two of them bombed.
The third one is looking to be somewhat successful, which is Pragmata.
But you all forgot that ExoPrimal happened and it exists and that Konitsugami happened
and it exists, like, two weird Ask Capcom games that were brand new IPs and were not
particularly bad, and they just didn't sell.
So it's not like they're not trying.
They are, they are trying shit.
They are.
So I mean, it just seems like Prag Mod is going to be the one that hits and you just
You can't, this is the issue, this is the issue when you have a company that has so many franchises that people are waiting for them to come back.
That's the way that almost every single Capcom fan exists to right now.
And even if you're a new era Capcom fan, which is like PS4 era, you've got introduced to like RE2 remake and Devil May Cry and like Monster Hunter and stuff like that.
Like even in those situations, you're sort of feeling that.
Even people that were introduced to them, they cry now, or like, where's the little surprise?
It's like, now you know what it's like to be a Capcom fan, you know?
Imagine if you were a beautiful Joe fan.
Shit. That would be crazy.
You're actually, if you're a beautiful Joe fan, you might be doing pretty good right now.
You might get a beautiful Joe compilation of the near future because
uh, Tommy is back. You actually might, okay.
the
hey
that you know what
they got a bit of a kingdom arts fans
that's the one thing we learn
the true the true the damage ones
not damage is in it's ear fault none of no you guys are
you guys have gone through it I feel bad for you
Anyway, I did find it very funny that people were talking at the end of that FS7 thing and it's like dude yeah Final Fantasy 7 fans chill we're starving out here. Oh god, I'm dying
It's like the extremely famished Kingdom Hearts fan. You could see the bones in their body, bro
a bro as they're holding up quiet just and they've learned patience at this point
somewhat. They're just like, maybe if we don't say anything, they're going through the
process that is like, they've already gone to the point where the desire sensor is like,
so we have to stop the desire sensor and we just have to sit here and pray, you know, like,
they're at that point. There wasn't even a reckoning at the end of that state of play.
The Kingdom Hearts 4 did not happen. I don't know. For some reason, there was a minor
reckoning that Final Fantasy 7 didn't show up. And even I, I wasn't like that was I super disappointed
no, because I'm like, dude, we're good. We're going to be getting so much FS7 bullshit this
year that it's totally fine. But King the Mart's fans. Oh boy, I feel bad for you. The truly
tortured fandom. Y'all are going to start putting on like black robes and hoods and shit and
just like me andering and walking around. I just waiting for some waiting for Nomura to say
something, so it's gonna happen.
It's the you see it half-light the defense at an actual rituals.
That's crazy. Trying to summon Gabean, you know,
blitz, thanks for the right dude. How's a new threat 2.0, 2026 edition? Is it good?
Do you see Pregma to being ahead?
The demo's good.
Like, I don't know how much longer it can keep that energy for the rest of the game,
but like, it's got a good hook.
It's fun.
I don't know if it can be a massive hit, but I can see it doing well.
You know, I can see it actually doing somewhat well.
Is there combat?
Oh, yeah.
No, no, play the demo.
There's definitely, everyone, it wasn't like,
I'm, I mind the most disconnected bitch ever because I was one of the first people to play it, right?
And in that experience, I was like, oh shit, it's good.
Wow, it's running like shit when I first played it.
But it was fun.
So I was like, this was very surprising that this is fun.
And then everyone else plays the demo even nowadays.
And they're like, oh shit, like everyone's pretty positive
on this.
So ultimately, it does have to evolve past that.
It does have to turn into something.
Word of mouth is what has done it for pragmatic period,
the entirety of its existence, especially post its reveal back in 2025. So word of mouth
will sell copies of it, man. But just well. And if the rest of the game is good, then it
will do fine. I'm going to play it on stream. Of course. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking chat just to let you know where my personal feelings are at the moment. I'm looking
for it to play in Prague mod a more than on Emusia.
Like, I found Prague mod it to be more fun than on Emusia.
On Emusia really hasn't found its place with me yet.
I need to play it different, and I've played that game, but I need to play like maybe
a different version, a later build, a later level, something.
The opening level for that game did not really do it for me very much.
It was a kind of boring to me.
A little bit.
Like, I kind of just need to see more.
And but the opening level of Prague mod kind of hooked me immediately.
So I was like, shit, okay.
This isn't interesting gimmick.
I like it.
I ended the upload too.
No, but that's amazing.
That old D2 or the D2 remake is getting an expansion.
That's really cool.
I'm not into the upload too that much.
But I think that is very cool.
The game's been around forever, you know?
We need to see more about on Emotion.
Pretty much.
a lot of the marketing for the game has died down a bit. And they're sort of waiting because
there's so many big Capcom games, you know, you guys are getting inundated with story three
in Pregmata and Resident Evil 9, like there's so many large-scale full-price Capcom games that
they're trying to get your attention with. And it almost seemed like Animusha was not nearly
getting that much attention in comparison to the rest. So it's a good thing that it's waiting.
It's actually a good call from their marketing side.
Monster and expansion later this year, just a reveal.
No, I think that's coming out this year.
I think that'll be out by, like, fall.
That lines up with previous expansions.
We'll see.
Yeah, so on Emotions was that like several events back
to back to back and they could just kind of stop,
which I think I understand that makes sense.
Too many games.
Their games are like eating each other, marketing boys.
And also, it's like, there's some samurai games out right now that are like doing kind of well and getting good reviews and shit.
Like, so it's sort of makes sense.
Why it's like, okay, let's not try to compete with those.
Yeah, pretty much Phantom Blade Zero, Yote, and like Neo3 are all games that are, that are competing.
eating almost in terms of game style.
The only difference is that
Phantom Blade is like a not-soul's like,
ish based on what I played.
And it's very good.
Hey Max, there's DMC4 on Steam, of course.
I mean, without it like 15 years ago.
Phantom Blade is gonna do what very well.
Like game is, you know, it's a game that's going to be massive overseas as well.
And it's genuinely fun.
It's genuinely like, this game's cool.
Do you know what it's shit?
Do you think on Emotions, one of the most expensive projects right now?
It would be interesting.
It would be interesting.
There's a reason why I think they've sort of put the brakes on the marketing.
But I believe in the height for Crimson Desert,
Crimson Desert, Exclamation Point, Crimson Desert.
Everything they're showing is real, dude.
Like, I've done most of that shit.
I'm gonna tell you guys right now.
Everything that you guys are seeing
in the Crimson Desert trailers, I watch them,
is legit.
You can do all that shit.
You can.
Oh, is that clip not working?
Hold on a second.
No, it still is.
The problem is, is that the game around it doesn't exist.
Like, it's weird.
I still know the story as I've played it.
I don't know why you're doing anything.
Like it definitely feels a game that it went from what I played
from the multiple scenarios that I played.
It's a game that has an absolute metric
shit ton of mechanics and things to do.
And I just, well, I'm like, why?
Why?
Like it seems to lack focus in that way, you know?
That's it.
I'll try it again.
No, I'm gonna try it when it comes out.
It looks too good not to try it again.
I'll definitely, and again, I had a moment where I sat down with the developers and
broke down the things that were like weird about it of like why this game looked so
impressive.
I was in the same boat all of you guys were before Summer Games.
Last year I was like, yeah, I have a booking for Crimson Desert, the fucking go.
I can't wait.
Did you see this shit?
It looks insane.
It's practically a WWE game when you start fighting dudes.
I played it and I was like, oh, okay, so this ain't it.
Oh, Jesus, I don't know what the heck the game is.
I still don't know.
I don't know if it's like a direct action game.
I don't know if it's an RPG, like I don't know if it has a story.
It just is a ton of mechanics on mechanics,
on many games on mechanics.
And what they were having me do, like, as far as crit path was deeply
uninteresting.
It was like, look, so, yeah, it plays like a single player early 2000s MMO.
It wasn't fun. No, that was my issue.
I wasn't having fun. And even the combat was like, very weird. The combat felt like I was playing with the controller upside down.
I don't know how to describe it, but it felt like I had to play like this.
And I was like, what the?
Huh? Why did we have to reinvent this?
What's going on?
That was weird. So
But I want to try it. Maybe that and that's part of the criticism that I gave them was that it all was rough
I want to try it. So I want to see if that stuff has changed because it looks like it could be a lot of fun if it has like a bit of focus
But this this all is vapid until you guys play it and see what you see them talking about
to do some people could be into it.
Like some people love dragons dogma too.
People were up that game's ass.
Like it just might not be a game for me.
And I'm completely open to that possibility.
I could not get into dragons dogma too.
I just could not.
Do despite people loving it,
it's so much of Crimson Desert
like feels like it's dragons dogma too.
And in that way.
So if you're looking for this sandboxy
choose your own adventure,
sort of like wild and shit,
Maybe it's like that, and might be.
You don't like getting a people's asses.
I want games to get up my ass.
Yeah, I want a game to get up my ass
and I can't stop thinking about him, you know?
I just want that shit to happen.
I want a game, I want to be impressed.
And that shit can happen.
Suddenly it's like shit, this is hitting dude.
It's cool ass shit here.
But I can be a catman in Dragon's Dog.
Yeah, there's no character creator.
There's three different character classes.
You like Dragon's Dog when mechanics with the story and quest for blend.
For some reason, I just never liked the combat very much.
In the 2012 game, it was fine.
But I just never vived with Dragon's Dog when combat, like at all.
And I'm like climbing on things is okay, I'm like, why can't a way, but something about like enemy engagements just never really did it for me.
I don't know.
I build, did you go for it?
Just like sort and shield shit, that was it.
And it's, it's fun to do a goofy shit.
I made like a video about it.
Yeah, it's chunky.
It's about making build.
Yeah, I mean, I get it.
I get it.
What combat did I like more Dragon's Dog where I found in the 16?
I like 16's combat a lot, the problem is it's enemies.
Problem is that the game doesn't give you any enemies that are interesting.
Combat's got like dude.
But any reason to actually use most of it, not really.
Which is unfortunate.
16 doesn't break out about it. Dude, when you have to do like cool things in 16 against
cool bosses and I don't mean the big epic fights. I don't mean that. I'm saying against
like, against like cool 1v1 bosses and shit and monsters and like big monsters and stuff like that.
Like fighting, um, uh, the hunts, you know, you know, one like the hunts later on get you give
if you really big monsters, the one that I did on stage
with the devs, that fights fun.
The last big dragon hunts you do, that shit's great.
When you don't have to do the big epic scale fight,
that shit's fun, dude.
And even when you have to fight a what's her name,
the guard at the chick, that fights fun.
Like there are, there are legit, really good fights.
The problem is, is that so much of the game
is deeply uninteresting fighting trash mobs.
and fighting people that barely even fight you.
It's like, yeah, the Barnabas fight was cool.
I don't think 16's like a bad game.
I legit like it's combat.
I just put most stuff that's around
that I really don't like.
Okay, most of it's boss time in Israel.
Yeah, so yeah, I will not really trash it's combat.
I think the problem is is that
here's an interesting observation.
16's combat is as cool as you want it to be, which I think is bullshit.
I think like you don't ever need to switch off the first three summons you get that
give you abilities.
You don't have to switch the never gives you a specific reason that you have to switch
to Leviathan or something like that that you have to switch to something else to really
get your new moves and expand those.
I did just because I wanted to see them and I'm a streamer, but I found the most fun
of the game, sitting there and like evaluating cool juggles and things that I can do.
The issue is that the game gives you absolutely zero reason to do it.
No reason to do it.
And I doesn't even feel like I can kill the guys faster.
It wasn't even that.
It was just like, you can just sit with the absolute most basic aspect of the game, the
first things you get.
And you will do just fine, like you'll kill things just as quick.
So it's like, ah, the game was like afraid to be like really challenging in some points
that felt like, oh, no, the first time this hour's gone like, yeah, I love it.
I love it.
Anyway, I don't want to talk about 16, the 16's so well, it did good at the start, but I
don't think it had great word of mouth.
So it's like, it's sort of stagnated.
Having good combat, that has depth,
what no need to use it was bad, exactly.
Dude, Jet straight up,
the most interesting action games
are the ones where the enemies are interesting.
Pretty much.
That's it.
Most fascinating games to play are the ones
where like the challenge that's being presented to you.
It did, Jet, the combat in your game
can be like subpar, can be like completely average.
But the things that you fight are insanely cool.
And it can do extremely well.
How do I know this is true?
Because Dark Souls fucking exists.
Souls games, not, and Sekiro actually
has a unique combat system.
But like, Souls games have basic Ascombat.
And I love it.
Look at me wrong.
I love it.
But they have basic Ascombat, bro.
Like, how do you engage almost every single,
every single interaction when you go through a soul's game
for the first or second time?
You press B to dodge his soul's role, the attack.
And then you press R1 or R2.
Like that's 99% of the combat.
And it's fine, you know why?
Because the enemies are fucking amazing.
R1 dodge repeat, R1 dodge repeat.
But the enemies are fucking amazing.
Like what you have to learn in that process
and figure out their weaknesses and stuff is actually cool.
Is the answer usually the same thing?
Well, yeah, but getting their feels great
because the enemies are fucking amazing, dude.
The thing that really, the thing in my opinion,
that really allows souls combat to thrive
and be genuinely interesting is that it isn't just one thing,
you know, a billion different weapons,
a billion different classes.
It's an RPG, you can step modify yourself
into whatever they want to do,
really change the way you engage with stuff.
You don't, you don't have to do this in that way.
You can find some busted ass build.
That's fun.
Like breaking soul schemes is genuinely fun.
That's what I like about from soft design.
They allow their games to be broken, bro.
And they're just like, cool, they'll patch it
every once in a while for multiplayer reasons,
but like they'll let you break the shit out of their games.
So it's like neat.
That's fun, you know?
It's enjoyable.
Then I like 15's combat.
I thought it was okay with it, but a lot of it was stupid.
Magic is stupid in that game.
The best combat balance for you is Kazan.
Hell yeah.
It's the only really good part of that game.
Hell yeah, brother.
I mean, it really is, dude.
I don't know what this, I can't.
If you want the best souls like combat out there,
I don't know, dude, like fucking Kazan.
I'm sorry, that game, man.
I just, I don't know what to say.
It's really good, it's just really good.
So, yeah, lies with piece great, you know,
I think lies with P actually has better,
actually has some of the best like souls come back out there
because it's, it's, it's souls all stars chat.
It's like, it's like a Bloodborne Securo
and Dark Souls open into one.
That's very intentional, you know?
the
lives a piece very good
it's really good
nine
nine
the dragon age games
one remaster fans did it man
Sony took two goddamn long fans did already
I haven't played Lies of Pea, you'll have a great dude.
If you like Souls games at all, if you're like Bloodborne, and all, you'll have a great
time with it.
And its story and characters are wonderful, holy shit, Lies of Pea's genuinely very good.
It also has like the closest to fromsoft level design, but not being as good.
The thing that a lot of Souls likes completely miss the mark on is that the hero of Souls
games is level design. That's what's actually the best aspect of those games.
And the one game that gets the closest is kind of like Liza P. It gets close.
That's not there yet. We're not they're yet, you know. And no other souls like gets anywhere close
to having the super high quality like me as a hockey level design ship.
I've played Expedition 33. Yeah, it was my game of the year last year.
That's a weakness of lies that we have already linear.
It's linear, but still engaging, you know?
I don't feel like I'm bored by the levels.
Like if it's linear and also boring, you know, that's not good.
Yeah, linear's not a problem.
That's a bit engaging though.
The problem with linear games chat
is that they have to be all killer no filler.
As long as they provide like a majority
of the experiences new and refreshing constantly,
then linear is amazing.
Like this should is awesome.
But if you start really starting to like pat out
linear games and make them longer than they need to be,
then they start drawing up, then it's like,
okay, you start really noticing it.
But that's why it's like certain games like
like Devil May Cry is a very linear game.
Action games are usually very linear
because they try to be an all-killer no filler.
And they're just like,
let's just gonna be fucking awesome.
This entire way through, you know?
But that comes at the cost of it being like a 30 to 40 hour,
you're probably not gonna get that,
unless you have to play through it multiple times.
Yeah, high-fair, I was a great example.
That's a great example.
Ari-4, Ari-4 is all-killer no filler.
Yeah, OG Ari-4, 100%.
Ari-2 is also the same way.
Ari-1, yeah!
Are we three?
I don't know if I feel the same.
It is FF-16 linear, yes, but it also takes way too long way too low.
Bloodborne?
No, I don't know if I would describe,
Bloodborne is wide linear.
No, like those games give you opportunities
to really deviate off the beaten path whenever you want to.
They don't really focus you hard.
They give you the chance to me, and I think Bloodborne,
you could definitely be pissing around
a whole bunch and if you're at where to go.
You say you put it, yeah.
Like for example, Final Fantasy VII remake
is extremely linear, and Final Fantasy VII rebirth
is not so much.
You gotta go the same way every single time
to matter what, but like the opportunity
for you to deviate from that path in a wide, you know,
let's do all this other shit.
Do you remember me to get rising aside from the boss fights?
Yeah, remember the fucking sewer, and that shit sucks.
Remember the building?
I remember, I remember jumping on the jet for, like, Afghanistan or some shit at the end of the game to go stop something.
Yeah, I remember several parts of the game that aren't bosses.
But I still think revensions is like a 9 out of 10. It's not a perfect game.
Because there's like a sewer at a water level and they suck.
They're not particularly interesting.
don't fight interesting bosses there either. So the Japanese garden room, yeah, yeah, in the building. Yeah.
180 even a word, bro. Next night's so, where's I? I mean, we had a bet chat because you
You go to a sewer fucking twice and remake.
You go to a sewer halfway through the game and remake.
And then at the latter quarter of the game,
you go back to the same fucking sewer.
And I'm like, oh, I'm fighting the same fucking rats.
Oh, it's easily the worst part of the game.
So we had a bet that the follow-up game that rebirth
on like no sewers, if this game manages to have zero sewers,
then we're good and it didn't.
I was like, oh, they got it. Okay.
Thank Christ. There was no sewers in FF7 River.
I thought it was like, thank fuck.
It's seven to remake part three. We'll have a revisit the sewer.
I hope so. Yeah.
It should just be one massive, like, extremely high level boss doom rat.
That's what I want. I want you to have to find the sewer again
and then find like the biggest fucking doom rat
with approximately 90 other doom rats that are around it and you have to kill them.
Like it is the doom rat army.
And then you have to kill Chadly.
Anyway, hi. We need an open world sewer.
or Kingdom Rad.
Let me find this news, this Tupacone news.
I legit feel like after that war went up date where I really got me into it.
I saw this news on Twitter and I was like, shit.
Dude, these characters, what's going on here?
So let me just read this news because this happened.
Right in right after the passing of potentially some of the roughest news of 2xKO, which is that they laid off after their staff, and they're just trying to keep things going, it seems like they also dropped this on us, which is apparently like a lot of what they were working on.
And this leads me to a little bit of concern, but also pretty excited because the thing that
me and many others have been talking about is just like we don't have characters to really
get attached to. Like I like Warwick that got me to play the game a lot more than I was even
expecting. So I saw a couple of these champs on Twitter and I was like shit dude they're
they are cool looking holy hell. So anyway, from the director of the game wanted to give you
a quick preview of what's coming to the game.
It made a video to talk about the face of face with the team
his hands, heads down, going to chat ASAP.
So this is kind of to give us this is absolutely
a response to the news that Riot dropped a couple days ago.
The focus fully committed to working hard on the game
and redoubling down on building for the FGC that loves the genre.
If you weeks ago, I mentioned that we're focused on three things.
So that's good, right?
Let everybody know and we were saying the same shit.
It's not great news, but it doesn't mean it's done.
Like, they're not saying we're packing up shops, see you later.
There is a possible, maybe worry that could be way down the line, but like,
this isn't immediate response that like, no, we got shit coming.
Chill.
Focus on three things, dual play, core gameplay and community improvement of programs.
And I think dual play is going to be talking about couch dual,
because that doesn't exist in the game, which really sucks.
If had Kenny and Steve over several times, we're like,
like dude, let's go online and play and we can't.
We would have to be online to play duos.
So, we'll just save the game.
I don't know.
I don't know if this saves the game,
but if things are good, then things are good, right?
Like, ultimately speaking, like,
do we want the game to be saved,
or do we just want cool shit to be in it?
That's a good question, right?
As consumers of video games,
Do you want the game to be saved and guaranteed a future
or do you just want them to do the cool shit that's in it?
Effectively, if you just have a game that does cool shit,
then people will get attached.
The natural process of things is that you don't,
you can't be here trying to save this shit.
You can't be here like, well,
I'm gonna act as the life raft, no.
No life raft is gonna save a game
that nobody gives a shit about.
So as long as a game has cool shit in it,
naturally the process will go in a direction that is good.
And to be real, like we made a video before to XKO had the bad stuff.
They were kind of doing everything right, man.
Then talking about how many champs they were going to have in a year, it's like,
oh, that's great. That's great news.
Then talking about how their community events are going to be funded and supported
from like DLC purchases and stuff like that, like, wow,
we've been saying that forever.
That's really cool. Like there were things that were going in a direction that was
relatively positive, but we don't have control of what Riot does.
I don't have control in like how that shit does.
So do I even if this game does manage to find an audience in a way that is moderately
sustainable, the issue is that it is riot and will they ever be okay with that?
Hey man, I don't play League of Valorant, you tell me.
Big priorities moving forward, dual play. It's been amazing to see players
to discover how fun to XKO is with a duo. We want to make sure that experience is
is more accessible. So we've been prototyping locals. Yay. That'll let you in a friend play
couch, go up together against the world. Well, still finalizing our plans for the future.
There's a top priority where we're working. Yay. That's great. That's going to be such a
small amount of people chat. Like this is this is going to appeal to not a huge audience,
but it is much, much, much, much preferred in my situation. Like I'm very much looking forward
that. That don't make me happy. That actually allows me, Kenny, and Steve, to play this
shirt online. Core game play. We've seen the conversation about what our core game play
could or should look like in the future. We want to clear things up. We like to the game
as fast-paced. Me too. Allowing your reactions and creativity to shine while providing
a ton of depth. Yeah, the skill ceiling of the game is high. That's where it's going to
stay good. We'll continue making balance changes that hit outliers in the meta while keeping
the sauce of it for character at the high level. We want every champion to have the fine strength
So weaknesses. Okay, right now. That's not clear enough across the cast. Yeah, I agree
Seems like there seems like they're lined up. I agree
Community and competitive
Here's the thing it's like I appreciate this
It's the nature of what 2xKO is as a product it's it has been designed as a competitive game
game from the very get-go, which I do think is a little backwards, personally speaking.
I think you just have to make a game that people that everyone likes.
And then if you have a game that builds an audience in everyone likes, then it can be competitive,
you know?
There obviously already is a competitive community.
Clearly, there's most high-level fighting game players are the ones that are really
viving with this game the most.
But in that same fashion, fighting games usually don't work that way.
the majority of them have to be bangers first,
and then focus on the community and competitive aspects,
and that just isn't the way Riot works, you know,
which is why this game might be a little odd,
and so much of the focus of 2xKL from its very first playables and
exceptions that we tried was that it's so hyper-focused on these
cool competitive aspects when it was maybe not as much focusing on the other
other stuff, you know?
Um, and yeah, the competitive community loves it for the most part.
They really do like it.
It's just, there's not a lot of ways to get people that aren't that really attached to it.
You know, we're looking to push out to XKO, tournament organizers and communities in
more ways.
The 2026 competitive schedule is going strong.
Next challenge early genesis, uh, we're working on a program that give local TOs, access
to exclusive mid game pricing.
This is great, which can't be earned anywhere else.
The goal is to get smaller TOs, new tools and expand.
Yeah, this is, this is very generous for local community stuff.
This is very grassroots, which is cool, which is very cool.
What we're hearing, okay?
Two of the conversations wanted to recognize
no major updates to share in these,
but just a quick recap of what we're hearing.
Right, we're keeping an eye on the edge cases,
that affect finding their matches,
fair matches in the rank system.
Unfortunately, this is only gonna get harder with time.
It'll get easier when you get new characters,
But this does not,
you just need new people, man.
Like you just need population.
You just need like a thousand people
that are searching ranked.
You need like 2000 worldwide.
If you have like a thousand people in one region
that are searching ranked,
dude, that's God, like everybody's finding matches, bro.
Like it does not take much to make a fighting game feel alive
when you jump online.
Your bitch asked him look at the steam charts
and be like, oh, this game's dead, but my dude,
If 500 to 1,000 people are playing the game,
and there's nothing else into do the game except ranked,
and you know that that many people are searching ranked
from 500 to 2,000, due to it's a one-ve won game.
Everybody's getting matches,
and you're very infrequently going to be getting the same person.
Like,
it doesn't take much to make a game feel alive,
especially a fighting game.
So, that just depends on how fast the rank
system works if it has that population. And it seems like they're trying to tackle that.
Screen tearing, yeah, that's an issue on consoles. We're working on an update to address it in the future.
Y'all so I never go. Still, then they get both touched up a whole bunch. These two characters
and some of the sausages in the roster, we also see that their weaknesses aren't apparent enough
at the highest level of play. I'll say for me personally as someone that, you know, put a bit
a bit of time into the game. I'd like 200 matches or something like that. Yosu was
ability to mix you naturally as fucked up. Like his ability to naturally pull off
like side switch, mix, shit, double jump, stall, cross-up, light kick, bullshit. Like at any
point, convert any fucking button nearly to full damage. Type sub was pretty stupid.
But it's like I also can never jump against the guy he has the best air to air in the
game, he has the best pull up on you buttons. Like he was a lot. He's a lot to deal with.
Echo is not at was not as much to deal with, but his projectiles were bullshit. Like he was the
natural mix guy, but his projectiles were just bullshit. I think that's a toned down. Like they
really is ability to throw out something that is no risk and tag off of it was insane. Like this
This is just nobody's playing the game.
Like most of these characters when they were playing the game,
did not have to engage.
The whole point was just to throw out bullshit,
wait for it to hit and go.
So it's like, oh, shit, man.
These are the two sausages characters in the roster.
We also see that their weaknesses
aren't apparent enough at the highest level of play.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Did you see it for honestly top-baked by chance?
I didn't watch a bit of it.
It was very entertaining.
Um, I can't recall if Yosu and Echo was all over the place, but I think they weren't.
I think it seemed like they were there quite a bit.
Uh, which, which they will be, they're going to be good.
They're going to be very good.
Uh, what is next?
Oh boy.
Let's take a look at the two upcoming champions.
Everything here is a work in progress.
So I don't remember who a cally is.
Sharps stylus Ninja who cuts opponents down with deadly precision.
All very good words that appeal to me specifically as a human being that enjoys fighting games with my personal tastes.
Oh, she's
I don't know what she's based off of, but you think this looks terrible?
I do not feel the same.
I don't know what she's, I don't know what the original design is.
Compared to League, okay.
As a person that is evaluating this for, like,
I don't remember what she looked like when we were going over the League roster stuff.
She's gonna have skins, yeah, so she's gonna have a skin that is a throwback.
I think she looks mad fucking cool.
We don't, unfortunately, we don't see her do much else outside of like teleport in this...
Damn, she is sassy as shit. We see her teleport.
That's like the most interesting thing. This is just like an air combo.
I wonder what her gimmicks are?
really really what what a gimmicks are. Um, anyway, I think she looks ridiculously
fucking cool. Like, really, ridiculously cool. Um, let me look up the League of Legends
version, a colleague. Oh, this is the chick that look like work it. So this is what she
looks like in the game, right? We're not taking artwork. Let's take in-game models,
in-game models, right?
This is what she looks like in league. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Right?
I think this is way better. I mean, maybe it's just me.
But this one looks way cooler.
I like the fact that they gave her howmaru hair.
I don't know.
I think the mask is, yeah, it could, I understand.
It could feel like a betrayal.
It could feel like a betrayal, because this does look a lot different than this.
I understand where League fans might be coming from.
But adding the red, you're blocking the image.
Oh, sorry.
Um, adding the red accents, different parts of the character, doesn't for me, dude, I'll be real.
It's the same picture.
Um, I think the new version looks much cooler.
They also made her a little bushy in Ryu, like she has like sneakers almost.
It feels just modernized, right?
I do see that.
She has an entire giant light ninja kit back here.
I think she looks cool, man.
People get the Abuki reference because she has the, you can see all of her hips, right?
That's the Abuki thing.
All of Abuki's hips are shown.
And also, Abuki has pretty big hair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't, I mean, riot.
I'm going to send a throw out there right now.
If you give this girl a purple and red outfit,
do you want to watch how fast I become two XKO's greatest champion?
I will take that shit from say, gentlemen.
It'll be quick. It'll be shocking.
It'll be striking how fast that happens.
that happens. I will become to XKO's greatest champion. If all of a sudden this chick has a strider outfit.
There already is guys with strider outfits and shit in legal legends. You're asking for talent.
I mean, yeah, but I don't know if that shit's going to happen. I don't know if that shit's going to happen.
I like her dude. I think this immediately is like max main character shit.
shit. It's either big dudes with great swords or like sick ninja chicks and
ninja dudes like.
Just give her a K-pop demon hunter's costume for some shit, man. Make a billion
dollars. It's all you have to do is make her have like a K-pop K-dove version
and make one billion dollars.
See what he has that?
A colleague, Kda.
Hold on.
Oh my fuck.
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
They literally are sitting on a gold mine
and they put in Caitlin.
Jesus Christ, bro.
They were sitting on a gold mine
and they put this chick with a goofy hat in the game.
What the hell?
Wow.
That's crazy.
Dude, this is crazy.
Is this the same character?
This is crazy.
That's what we've been saying.
Okay, I mean, I get it, right?
I get it.
I get it, that's crazy, dude.
Oh, my, is this the same shit?
This is, I see so many different things, right?
Is this also the same character?
Uh, wow.
This feels like the costume that should be on here.
100%.
Like, that's, that's the one because it has to be like,
like Ninja like, you know, and this feels like it's close to it.
Because of the mask.
Wow.
Watch the music video, no, but I have a question.
Is there any reason why they can't use that for like licensing reasons?
I get it.
It's all owned by Riot.
I understand.
But just because it is under the same umbrella, doesn't mean that it's all okay.
Like that happens in other companies too.
I get it.
DMCA is a thing.
But it has these characters ever had an opportunity to cross over into other things.
easily with no issues like what is it room Terra or anything like that?
No, I get it, chat. For example, I'm going to throw out a very specific example,
something that I understand how it works is I don't know how Riot works. Here's an example.
Monster Hunter showed up in MVCI, right? Make sense. It's a Capcom character.
It also deeply pissed off the Monster Hunter devs. They were not happy about it.
And apparently, they weren't told about it and it caused bad relationships between the two developers at Capcom.
So, just because they can, doesn't mean they should, it was what I'm saying, like, that happens in companies.
They, yes, we own everything, but like, were the guys that make this, why wouldn't you talk to us type shit?
So, that, that can happen.
Right, it's generally fine with it.
Okay, then yeah, this is like guaranteed home run. Like my only by only question is how is this not already happened?
How has it not already happened?
Maybe it's because K-pop demon hunters became like a thing recently.
You almost had to anticipate that that was going to become that big. Now it's just like
the biggest thing on earth. Yeah, and at the at the time when this game was in development,
Our cane was the biggest thing on earth.
Yeah.
Our cane is bigger.
Our cane is bigger than K-pop demon hunters.
K-YH say that.
Motherfucker, if you did.
It was him.
It was him.
I'm calling you out at every time.
I'm gonna make an emotory, you man.
Understand.
Moving on.
I love her. Why is it always him? Why do they? I predicted it. I love her. I love her I love her.
Sema, Sena, who wields the power of light and shadow, blast enemies with a massive cannon and then rushes them down in a raid form. That looks like a great sword. I see massive great sword. Are you talking to like rail cannon great sword?
the
ocean she's what's her name
who's
his daughter
right
what's her name got a unique a year reminds me hello unique
a
as ghost form.
Dude, this shit looks great.
Wow.
I mean, new stage too.
Yeah, yeah, it's a, it's a cool, you know?
The stages are cool.
I just said I'm not gonna get any references.
She seems pretty sick.
I mean, I mean, she seems pretty sick.
Meet Senna who wheels the power of light.
We have more to share about these two later, but in the meantime, we're looking forward
to your hot takes and theory crafting.
I spent a lot of time talking to the dev team and listening to players this week
and the messages of support and love.
I mean a lot.
Thanks for catching up with us and looking forward to the journey ahead.
It's funny that it's like this game was at its most, like,
dauer point from a person like a community perspective.
in the last week, and to me, personally, after seeing this thing and this thing, it kind of is in, like, I'm at the most anticipated to play it, you know, and it's just characters.
It is literally like, you just show new things and people go, wow, it's like, it's a, it's a constant roller coaster.
should exactly happen to Tocon where it's like everyone is just like, oh, that Tocon's just
dead to avatar, that's crazy because avatar was like showing new stuff and then all of a
sudden Wolverine's in the game of people are like, oh, God, God, God, you can play as the
danger room. We said this was going to happen. When things, when you don't get updates to things
and things don't change over time, people start getting like, they start freaking out now because
every single game that exists now that has you playing online with people is there to
engage and re-engage with you constantly, like all the goddamn time. So as soon as you get new
things, we're so back, we're so done, we're so back, we're so done, you know? So all I got to say is
that regardless of what happens with the future of this game, this shit's cool. Like, both of these
characters look really cool. This stuff that they're talking up here is all really good news.
And as it changed the fact that things could go south in the future, I'm slightly concerned
that they're showing this stuff now because they are concerned for the future, that
they need to get more people on their side and maybe it works.
Like, long story short, it's like, I never vibe with 2xKO, 100%, like it's always been
a game that has been interesting to me, but it's never grabbed me until certain points,
especially when Warwick came out.
And then I realized how much character's matter to me in this game specifically because I'm not a league guy, you know?
So, but as that ever led me to a point where I want to see the game do bad, that is not the way I operate, man.
Like, I want this shit to hit.
I want this shit to hit for league fans.
I want this shit to hit for me.
I wanted to hit for like the general audience, because just speaking like from a base level,
I want to see fighting games do well.
I want them to be like fun and engaging and to find out why did this do
bad, maybe that can be fixed, maybe maybe something can be done before it gets
released that that doesn't allow this to hit the community in a weird way.
You know what I mean? I want I want shit to hit.
Why do I want shit to hit? Even if it isn't going to be a thing that maybe I play forever,
because it allows me to come back and play it later and also to make content and find new ways
to enjoy it and that other people can jump in and play it.
Like, it's a natural working relationship that you can have with creators much less audiences
that just allows things to be fun.
It just makes it so that maybe we can have a game that everybody wins.
And we can have a game that finds success.
The developers can keep making shit.
We can keep making shit.
Everyone's sort of happy, you know?
So even in situations where I think games are like, oh, what are we doing here?
Like, for example, the Mortal Kombat Legacy collection that recently came out.
like there were clear things that were like,
you can make this better.
There is possibilities to make this better here.
I don't want it to just suck and then suck forever, man.
So yeah, I think that's the difference
between like what my mentality is,
compared to like a lot of people.
Some people just want to see shit crash and burn.
And I get it.
That's how the majority of the internet
is operating nowadays.
They just want to see shit crash and burn.
But I genuinely think a lot of this stuff
that they're showing here is mad cool.
And it looks really good.
And they have a couple of characters that immediately make me want to play the game.
I immediately want to play it more than almost ever before right now.
It's the majority of fighting games. It's like everything nowadays, man.
Like people just want to see shit crash and burn.
It's fun to dunk on something until eventually you play it and you like it. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
You want this game to be better, but it's not grabbing you.
I understand.
Because it doesn't have the things that normally allow you to engage with it and fall in
love with it.
It is specifically jump online.
I think I think I can see that more than ever now.
Why is it hard for casual fans to jump into it?
Because it is a game that wants you to, it has lead characters in it, but it almost has
nothing else that ties it to League of Legends.
It's like you could swap out the characters
for other franchises, and it would almost work.
There's really no, this is a love letter to League of Legends.
It doesn't really come across as that.
It comes across as League Sports, fighting League Sports.
That's what I'm saying.
Like modes are one thing.
It's not saying it needs a big story mode.
It needs, it needs you to
summarize this more broadly,
so that we don't keep it in the league fashion.
You need a reason to fall in love with a fighting game.
And that is not for the very, very large majority
of people that are not us, like we're talking,
like the 1%, 1%, we just like fighting games, okay?
It's not gonna take much for you to sell it on dude.
They sold me on this game inherently,
just by saying it was a tag game.
that's great. League is a team game. This is going to be great. Like I like that aspect of it.
I'm sold, but what will sell the majority of people? Like the large majority of people that
either play League or don't know about this or whatever, they have to download it and immediately
find the things that they like about it. Like, what do I like about it? And to be real,
what has been the biggest focus of 2xKO, disgusting mix? That's its strength. The strength
of the game from the very get-go was disgusting tag mix. We have one of the most creative
tag games ever. You're not wrong, like you're not wrong. So the grime of the game is easily
its most beneficial aspect. But still, is that something that will be easily accessible from
the majority, no. Like the audience will not be able to just jump and find the joy in that, you know?
Because most people don't play fighting games for disgusting mix. Most people don't engage with
fighting games like fighting game players. People will eventually discover that shit if they find
other things to fall in love with or characters that they love, right? Or it's just a great
game that provides all these different things that you can do that you have a great time with.
So, like, again, the disgusting mix should have been a thing that is, is enjoyed
eventually, Smash Bros. has disgusting mix, bro.
Like, it's, I think this is a thing that is missing from most games, but it's
seem to be like the focus of 2x scale from a very foundational level.
The aspect of it is to go online and do disgusting mix with your friends or find disgusting
mix with your friends.
And that's just not the way the majority of people engage with fighting games.
They just play them to do cool shit with characters and cool shit is not exactly disgusting mix. It's like pulse combos and stuff, man
What is mix exactly like exactly that it and that's exactly it's some random person in the chat just asks what the fuck is mix?
Exactly
How do you even know what I'm even fucking talking about if you're not
If you're a league fan, and you see a Colleen whoever,
you can do disgusting mix with these characters.
What does that mean?
How do I, I don't disgustingly mix people in League of Legends?
Like, do those be real?
Like, even if that person is trolling, like,
it's a legit criticism.
Like saying, I love mixing people in a game.
People don't know what the fuck you mean.
It's like a fighting game thing, dude.
It's like ganking, I don't know what that means, what is ganking is ganking a league thing?
I don't even know if what you're saying is legitimate.
I don't know.
Is that's a league thing or not?
I don't fucking know.
If the way it's a league thing, all right.
So in the same way it's like, Max, you love fighting games, dude.
Let's get on to league and gank with each other in mid.
I'm gonna call the cops.
The fuck are you talking about?
Anyway, ganking is just killing it's universal.
I thought it was having sex in the middle lane,
and I was shocked that League of Legends allowed this player base to do that.
That's crazy.
So that's how disconnected we are.
I thought it was mid lane sex.
How was I supposed to know, dude?
However, if fighting game fans, you know, want to get together and double DP in the corner,
it's really satisfying to hit the second one especially.
So, and there's no way you can misconstru that as meaning anything else than exactly what I'm saying.
So yeah, this is true.
I think the problem was marketing.
I think the issue from the very, from the foundation of, like, if we're talking about, like,
why is it hard for two X get to find its audience as marketing?
It's designed for finding game fans, dude.
And I think we're understanding how big that audience actually is.
We've always been poverty, my dude.
even if Evo seems huge and retro-spec it's not like the amount of people that are
engaging with fighting games at like that level and participating in those
tournaments much less or even going to that event is such a small minute of the amount
of people that do buy those games. It's insanely small. These games are if everyone
asks like this this game is dead. The only reason this game died is that it doesn't
have casuals. It doesn't have an ability to make the scene bigger. We have no way
to introduce new players to the shit.
You have to convince them that the gameplay is so cool that you should check this out,
which is where I sort of stand.
But that's the toughest part, is that the games themselves have to do that.
They have to give people a reason to fall in love with shit.
Did a league player to promote?
You don't, dude, Tyler won could jump online and play this game for a month.
a legit month he could also potentially fall in love with it.
I don't I don't know if that changes anything.
Or faker like who I'm I'm talking about some streamer you know.
I don't know if that changes anything.
Because as much as like.
Chat can we acknowledge something as somebody that is a uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh I hate this term as somebody that is an influencer.
Especially in a space where it's pretty obvious what the game is.
Like, I'll be real.
No matter how much you sit here and gas up something, regardless of your standpoint,
whether or not you're involved from a monetary standpoint,
you're working on the game, you know people that work on it.
No matter what, if a game isn't hitting,
hitting regardless of what somebody says about it.
It's just glazed the shit out of it.
Is that going to change public opinion?
Is that going to change the way people perceive shit?
No, I like City of the Wolves, man.
Like I enjoy that game.
It's had issues, but did that have an impact on it?
No, it didn't.
I always defended the gameplay and the characters and shit.
But did it have an impact on how much it's sold to know it did not?
I liked DNF dual.
did it help that shit? No, because it clearly had big fucking problems. Was I a defender of
Killer Instinct? Oh, yeah, I definitely was, but what did it help? Killer Instinct was like one
of the best fucking fighting games of the mid-2010s. It might have been, like, kind of, considered
too many now. One of the best fighting games there is, bro. Did anything I do for MVCI in that first,
just like a few months of the game being out despite my issues with it, save that game.
No, because clearly the fucking problems were face value, no matter, and this is where
my argument is, dude, influencers can only go so far, my dude, like, you're not,
no matter how much good public press, you can get from a couple of high quality names
in the scene that have a big enough audience, it shit doesn't matter if the game obviously
is not doing it for some people. It's not going to change.
Aren't V2 President Japan? His freefighter sex
will different their impact. Brother Street Fighter 6
is the best Capcom fighting game they have ever fucking made
from a true content standpoint. Why does Street Fighter 6 work? Because
Street Fighter 6 did everything right.
Literally everything right, chat. Just because like you might not
that enjoy with it, engage with it as much.
Dude, it literally has everything.
It is the new establishment of true content and a fighting game.
It gives you a shit ton of things you can do in the game without ever fighting actual
humans.
And you keep most people still engage with it in that way.
And it also has an easy bridge and gap to get you to go play online and the easiest
path towards that.
Because everything just fucking works.
And it has some of the best in class that play.
It also has easy controls, but are also compromised.
And I give you the true competitive advantage.
Like, it has fucking everything.
And it has great characters,
and it has incredible visuals.
And it's consistently getting new shit.
Like, well, maybe not as consistently.
It has freak, like, I don't buy this, man.
It's a good game.
It's a legit, it's one of the highest-reviewed games
of this entire generation.
It's a good fucking yay.
So like it just has more of a chance of bridging
the gap of people that are just like,
oh, the new Street Fighter's great.
I heard it's great.
It's getting great reviews.
I'll go buy it.
I'll go buy it on sale.
That person has no intention of ever being an online player.
They have no intention of ever going to a tournament.
But the fact that it's adopted people into get into that spot
to just invest a little bit a little bit of their time,
a little bit of this, a little bit of that,
There is a chance that you can bridge the gap.
Bridging the gap is literally where I exist, my dude.
I notice that at the high level to get you conditioned
to understand the high level,
this is literally my fucking job.
I've been doing the shit for 15 fucking years, okay?
Bridging the gap of where a new person jumps in
and getting them to becoming an FGC member
or a fighting game fan to not only play that game online
to enjoy that game or to buy other fighting games,
this is the spot that is the most valuable
Street Fighter VI does everything right. It's done everything. It's done all this shit I've been
bitching about for like 10 years. It's got it all. And guess what? Oh, it blows up. It's crazy.
So anyway, that it's the part that I am the most fascinated by. And yeah, it's always been clear
from like other games that are unable to capture audiences that like, why doesn't this hit in this
way? Why isn't this grabbing people from this perspective? Is it a cost barrier? Is it a character
barrier, is it a content barrier, is it an online bit? What the fuck is it, man?
So anyone? I'm not out here to get every fighting game to be a fighting game that I love.
My goal is always to get you to find the one that you can fall in love with. Because
as if you could feel that way about one game that gets you to buy more games that
that allows more fighting games to exist in the future.
So, yeah, Street Fighter VI did that.
Clearly, it's the best selling Street Fighter games
and Street Fighter fucking, too.
Even Tyler won like that and he hates a ton of shit.
Speaking of Tyler won again.
Like, what? Two XKO or Street Fighter?
Even more than Street Fighter IV? Yes!
Yes, Street Fighter, oh, Street Fighter, I'm sorry.
Street Fighter VI. Oh, wow.
So, yes, 3.6 is selling better than Street Fighter 4 in the same period of time, dude.
Like, the reason that Street Fighter 4 was as big an impact on the FGC as it was
is because so much of the fighting game community at the time was obviously Capcom Centric
and Capcom games were cooked. They were cooked for nearly a decade, especially mainline Street Fighter.
So, even better than third strike, my dude, third strike has never commercially sold very well.
Third strike was for hard-ass fighting game fans, literally hard-ass is the people that like
deeply like Street Fighter, this is the game for you. And it's grown with popularity over time
because it is a cult classic, but that game is for freaks. It's for people that love this shit dearly.
It's kind of hard to get other people to fall in love with it other than its presentation, you know,
because that's all it's really good.
And to be real, two XKO is sort of that same shit.
Two XKO is a game for hard-ass fighting game fans.
It's for freaks.
And I feel it, like, yeah, when shit hits in this game,
it feels good, man.
I love this shit.
But also, third strike was not like a commercially successful game.
It took years, man.
It took like 10 plus years
to be able to really realize this shit's goated.
It also took the most viral moment in fighting game history.
Yeah.
It's a big, people realize this game's kind of neat.
Like fucking A dude.
Anyway.
League is for Freaks to its wedding.
Yeah. I mean, I agree.
I agree.
League does have the aspect of like...
They tried to do the same thing where it's like my team sucks.
It wasn't my fault, you know?
That aspect of it.
the passing of responsibility.
Every game needs a depthjammership
at a six-level world tour for single-player content.
Clearly it doesn't, because moral combat
found a way to do it in other ways too, dude.
Like, moral combat found a way to become
the moral combat one gave its audience like nearly nothing
at launch, except a story mode. And it's still sold like six million units based
on like the fact that people like moral combat story modes. Was it was it a godlike
story mode? No, but bro, if you're curious, I'm most people engaged with MK, no, I'll
tell you. I'll tell you how the greater like very large percentage of mortal combat players
engage with MK, they play the story mode. The play a few characters online, maybe? That's
a big maybe in the first week or two of the game is out,
and they'll never turn it on again.
Cause guess what?
That's completely fine.
That's how most people engage with video games.
Most people get the game, they beat it.
They had a good time with it,
and then they just will maybe turn it on again,
somewhere down the line, like amazing to think that.
And guess what that literally allows developers to do,
It allows developers to make more games in the future.
Like, the crazy concept, dude.
MVCI was the biggest piece of shit fighting game
that has ever fucking existed from Capcom, dude.
It made more people upset than anything.
It had terrible visuals and had a horrible roster
and literally removed everything
that made you enjoy Marvel versus Capcom, okay?
Speaking as it's greatest champion, that's me.
sold like 2.5 million copies because it had a story mode that sucks but it had a
story mode.
Wild that single player content sells copies of the game.
Crazy but I fixed it.
I'm not going to say that that shit was a contributing factor, it's not.
It's a minor factor.
Story mode still no bueno but dude, I hear a lot of people say that they kind of like
the story mode. Like, I'm like, okay, because you don't get that in any Capcom game. Even
Street Fighter 5, that's very much sucks. Nothing made sense. Marvel versus Capcom
Infinite Story Mode makes sense. It just sucks. It isn't confusing and it's trash,
which is what Street Fighter 5's story mode is. No, NVCI Story Mode sucks, but at least
you can play through it and enjoy it. You could. A lot of people don't play online either.
The majority of people do not play online, man.
The majority.
We need to make, we actually need to make that video at some point.
The best story modes and fighting games.
I was, I mean, granted, finding that Twitter behavior
shocks me in some way is not really surprising.
Tekken was on sale for like 23 bucks,
and I was like, dude, that's worth it for the story mode alone.
Like, if you're an old Tekken head
from like the PlayStation days,
and you never jump into these ones
and like do this story mode with God like, it's amazing.
It's pretty much a love letter to Old Tekken.
And people are like, the story mode is trash.
It's terrible.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
No, it's great.
It's actually, I've played all these story modes
and fighting games, why, dude?
Like, legit, tech and eight might be one
of the better story modes in fighting games.
It might be like top three.
And for me personally, it hit hard.
By the time that shit concluded,
I was like, god damn, dude, this shit's amazing.
like, to me, it was actually genuinely cool.
It started a whole new conversation.
I think that story mode is worth 25 bucks.
You actually play it, too.
You can press buttons and enjoy it.
Anyway.
Yeah, if you hate tech and eight story mode,
you did not play tech and seven or six.
Holy shit.
You definitely didn't play Tekken 6, like...
Or Devil Within in Tekken 5.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
World Tour playthrough, I still haven't done it.
I still haven't done world tour play through and Street Fighter.
I mean, but that's the problem with me being a fighting game freak, you know,
is that every, I'm sure it's great.
And it looks good, but whenever I watch other people play, I'm like, this looks fun.
Literally every single time I have turned on Street Fighter 6 as a game.
I go into check out the new content or whatever, or was like grinding out early on.
Every single time, I would just go online or try something and want to try it online,
and that process is so easy.
There is zero barriers in between.
There's no fucking waiting either.
The amount of time that I spend in between doing that stuff is extremely minuscule to the
point where every single session I have ever fired up Street Fighter 6, I get caught up in
the game play.
I've been playing online. I say I'm going to play World Tour and I don't and I just
wow, I've been playing online for four and a half hours. Shit. Because every aspect of
the game makes it as easy as possible to join a play online.
Reuse is Rich's Ken and World Tour really.
You haven't done Freak Fight Watch Parties too, and not in a long time, not in a long time, dude.
My playing Alex, of course.
I tried Viper and like, I tried Viper and Alaina.
I didn't like him very much.
I thought they were fun, but not enough to like,
want to go jump online and play him.
I don't just put it online much then.
Definitely character crisis.
Yeah, I could probably play as like Terry.
No, you know what the reason is?
Straight up the reason that I,
that I stopped jumping online to as much street fighter,
because I played a fuckload of it
in when it came out in the first few months,
especially, a tech and eight came out.
And for the first time in tech and history,
it had enjoyable online.
And ever since then, it's like the fighting game
that I always default back to is tech and,
and it's regardless of the game's issues,
I just, I cannot believe I can play a tech and a game online
and not hate myself.
It just, it kind of was insane to me.
So, the net is prevented me from going back and checking out things in three-fighter or wanting to grind.
I've definitely felt it.
I definitely would do it.
I could definitely play Terry and jump in and play some Terry shit.
But for some reason, like, I think it's also the fact that, like,
tech ends a game that has a lot of different interpretation of how you play it.
Technique less than before, it took a bit wrong way less than before, but the way that you can engage with your opponent is very interesting to me, man.
Like even the most minor things in terms of like when you press attacks are really important in that game. So it's like, yeah, I like it. I think it's a genuine. I can watch any different person play a character that I play and they all play them differently. Cool. I love that shit.
It's a little hard in Street Fighter because Street Fighter is a game that is very mechanically bound.
So most characters are either using the mechanics very well or not as well.
And yeah, have I watched a lot of Street Fighter over the past?
I mean, I can be real. I can say over and over again.
I don't mind going back to play Street Fighter, but have I watched much Street Fighter over the past, like, year, not really?
There's been some cool moments, some cool characters, but not as much.
And that's because it hasn't changed, man.
It's, it's, it's, this, it's, it's, it's, it's this, it's changed a lot for the worse,
you know, for the better and the worse than the, in the, in the, in the very brief year,
two years that it's been out.
It's changed a lot.
But, three, four hasn't.
People playing that shit the same way.
They've just been playing that shit a dude.
Isn't that a 2D fighter problem? There's only, uh, you could do for character expression. No,
my dude, and older fighting games is not the case. In older fighting, in older 2D fighting
games, the opportunity for you to screw things up is so much bigger. So no, well, there's there's
crazy skill expression in older games. Yeah, it dude, even avatar, right, even in avatar legends.
It, it is, it's, it's a game that gives you the opportunity to screw things up. And that's the
the biggest difference is that your ability to not get this right, okay? How big is that?
In most modern games, even tech into a degree, like when you land hits, what's your chance
of screwing this up? Most people will get it. So in an older game, what's your opportunity
to screw this up? Kind of high. Unless you know what you're doing, you're not going to be able
to get the thing you want, dude.
So it's like,
that's the difference now between like timing and commos and shit.
Do you think Street Fighter VI
have to have a word about making changes for the worse?
Oh, yeah.
Since it's not necessarily in a bad state at the moment,
I mean, oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
They clearly have been working
on the Formula Street Fighter VI
as a game design for a hell of a long time.
A hell of a long time, even before it was out.
because that bitch was polished,
like anybody that's anybody knows,
if you played Street Fighter V beta,
compared to its eventual launch, it changed so much.
If you play any other fighting game beta,
you know that that shit is rough when you first play it,
and it goes through a lot of differences, okay?
By dude, Street Fighter VI,
even in its first playable beta,
is back in like 2022, when we were playing that shit,
like this shit is bad polish. Holy fuck dude.
Like these systems are very, very obviously complimenting each other.
The, the frame timing for this stuff is very good.
It's like, damn, they really thought this shit out.
So, I mean,
yeah, I can see their perspective of like,
well, so what if we change it what happens?
And they're probably looking at tech and going,
and who?
Jack on Leather does cook and they cook.
Yeah, because also Street Fighter 6 was like delayed, man.
It was supposed to come out near the early point
of the console generation.
And it didn't.
I think removal of the drive mechanics
would be a way to give a player expression.
No, that's like saying take away heat and tech
and that is the whole point of the game.
You remove Drive in Street Fighter VI,
and it's a significantly less interesting game.
You have, there has to drive needs to be,
needs to go through a design process
that does not change its identity.
Like, you don't, you can't just change,
you earn Drive over time, instead of like,
it's empty at the beginning and it builds in the end.
No, that doesn't make any sense.
Like, it has to function the way it does.
But yes, I do think that like,
allowing for the powerful things to be not as powerful
that makes sense.
But you also can't just nerf a game,
you know, like Street Fighter,
we're not in a tech and eight situation
where everyone's asking for nerfs, we're not there yet.
Like things don't need to be nerfed into the ground.
We just need a way to make drive gauge
allow characters to be more unique
instead of them just making system use more obvious, right?
And that's where Street Fighter's at right now.
What character can make the drive system better?
And you know what, dude.
You know what, you know what actually could happen
to Street Fighter VI that could be genuinely interesting.
They have a character that doesn't need to use the system
nearly as much as the other characters
for like to be really good, and they are really good.
Imagine that.
Imagine a character in the game shows up
at some point in the future.
And all of a sudden, they're actually bad good,
and they don't need to utilize the drive system that much.
Like, or it really engages with it the same way
that every other character does, like, drive rush pull up on you, you know?
JP kind of does that in many ways.
And it's like, he sort of hated because of it.
He does not need to engage the system nearly as much.
I think that's a path they could go where it's like, okay,
So make the system allow them to be more unique as characters,
instead of the characters having to utilize the system more.
I don't know, like that takes a lot of work dude.
That isn't just like two in this change that frame data here.
Like, no, that's a, those are big changes, you know?
The skill expression is in the resource management.
Exactly. No, street, no.
If you say Street Fighter VI has no skill expression,
it's because you're playing it at a middle-level or something, right?
Like you're playing it at a level that you really cannot see
the nuance in between all the crazy shit at high level
of how they manage drive gauge for every single defensive situation
and every single offensive situation.
No, dude, it's super fucking hard.
It's super fucking hard to play Street Fighter VI optimally.
Oh my God, dude.
All the combos are easy as shit, right?
Yeah, they are.
But to utilize your green shit in the right ways at the right time,
and to answer with it in the right moments,
like, totally shit, dude, it's fucking super hard.
Here's the issue with it.
It's not obvious.
And that's the problem.
To any general watcher, they just see people playing
that shit at a high level, and they just see like drive
Russian.
And that is an issue.
I do agree.
I think that is a, people do not see the mental stack.
They do not see the, the, the minor,
my news should differences and drive gauge management
on defense and offense.
They don't see it because it's like,
it's relatively invisible to most players.
They just kind of see the same shit happening
over and over again.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is why it's like, yeah, okay.
We're all loops are like that, 100%.
I mean, here's the thing.
I completely understand why throw loops are in the game.
Like, they are fundamental to how that system works.
Straight up, like, with the way of things currently are,
it kind of has to be that way.
Or else it gets really stagnant.
Like, there are clear and concise answers
to these like three situations, you know?
Like they really needs to be there.
So, but is it visually interesting
from like an outsider's perspective?
It's almost like a necessary, you know?
I don't like it either.
I do hope the game goes through a design philosophy
that allows that to shake up to happen.
I do.
Do I want it to be that way, I don't?
But like, no, no, no, the game,
and it's current design,
the way things have to wreck answers to things.
And there is a, there's a cause and effect to this.
And this beats that, that beats this, this beats this, you know, like it is designed that way.
My dude, there's a lead to a lot of unique, interesting situations.
No, you watch these few interactions happen over and over and over again.
So the point where it's like the character strengths don't become as obvious.
It's a lot of like system strengths.
But I think there's ways to evaluate that shit.
Which is why we all think it needs shake-ups,
which is why you've been Street Fighter,
the majority of Street Fighter 6 fans feels like it needs a shake-up.
I just think fighting games need shake-ups in general too, dude.
But a combo break or lock-up mechanic?
No, no, we don't need combo breakers and everything, man.
That is not to be, to make a blitz.
But I think it's not a combo break or lock-up.
Bumble breakers and everything then that is not to be to be completely honest unless the combo breaker is in direct benefits of the system of the game like a killer instinct or something
The whole point of killer instinct is that the game is bullshit. You're gonna get opened up because the characters are dummy thick powerful
The whole reason combo breakers exist is that you have a chance of breaking out of shit at any point, right?
or screwing that up, it's built into the system of the game.
You can't just put combo breakers into everything
and have that be the answer.
I generally do not like just games just having breakers,
but the sake of having breakers.
It feels like an easy fix instead of identifying like,
okay, so how do we have a game that sort of like,
works without needing to have breakers?
Or sometimes it can have long combos.
Sometimes it doesn't, how much resources do you spend
in this situation, y'all y'all y'all y'all.
Yeah, and again, burst is a thing that I think is also very cool because there's counters
to it.
That's fun, you know?
And then they got real smart with it at the end of like Xard, and also Strive, where,
oh, so let's make burst do a lot of shit.
Let's make this do a whole bunch of stuff, you know?
Now it's like, oh, okay, now it's this isn't just about saving this resource to break
out of stuff. Now it's, oh, I can use this resource to kill your ass. Oh, okay. I don't
love striverush as a mechanic, but there is some genuinely much more interesting shit going on
with that game after they added that.
Well, what a shake up for a fighting game look like. So listen, follow me here.
Street Fighter 6 gets its season four.
It gets a new trailer at somewhere games fest.
Okay.
They add Scorpion to the game and Scorpion's drive impact.
They add aerial drive impact, okay?
For every character and as Scorpion being the new character that's in the game,
his drive impact doesn't move forward.
It goes backwards and it cuts the screen.
He cuts on the other side of the screen and hits you behind the head.
Okay, so he acts like his teleport, but all characters have access to it now.
Every single character in the game has an aerial scorpion teleport armored drive impact. That's a shake-up.
Is it a good one? No. But it is a shake-up. Certainly, if what it is,
changes the way the whole game is played. Yeah, you know, it's also a shake-up that is also a bad idea
the A to Street Fighter 6 air-parry, being able to parry in the air, however, I do not
like the idea of animation parries in the air.
I don't like it.
I think it sucks.
No, sorry.
I don't like it.
Air just defense, completely fine with it.
Street Fighter 3, third strike parries, completely fine with it.
Because they don't have animations.
only trigger if you hit the button with the attack, right?
Perry and Street Fighter 6 is not a quote unquote,
Perry my dude.
It's a glorified mortal combat block button.
Which in hindsight was actually pretty smart.
Actually, it's more powerful than a mortal combat block button
because it covers everything.
Yeah, it's a smash shield.
Yeah, that's what it is.
the
the other some more combat you had to choose between the higher the low
the
as a more common effort for a walk yes
as a for the last two games yes it's had a perfect lock mechanic
Melty blood luminous shield. Yeah, good example. Yeah, it's still gone out. No, it doesn't come out to logist.
Oh, yeah, then they had it uplocked to MK, which feels so natural. It's insane. Dude, I can't
like whatever happens with the future of moral combat, I cannot see that franchise moving forward
without uplock again straight up. I'll be honest. I think it's one of the best additions to moral combat one.
because Mortal Kombat has always had a history of issues with jump kicks being either
too powerful or hard to deal with, like going back to the 2D games, right? Like jump kicks
are mad powerful. So what did they do? They added an upblock, meaning if you time an attack
and aim your block up for a jump or an overhead, it gives you mega plus frames. And you get to
respond to it. I go back to playing MKX and we are accidentally uplocking. It's a great mechanic.
There's one thing that I think and I hope continues forward. I hope that moves forward into other
games. I actually do. Whatever the future is of MK, I hope uplock is involved because it's I think it's
actually cool. You think it's a bad mechanic? Why? Because it doesn't mean free jumps.
games. You want do you want to incentivize a stand one antires?
Uplock had more counters against it, though. That's true because it had a recovery animation.
But that also makes sense, too, that like jump and throw beats up block, right?
That makes sense.
You don't like the mind game on throws me either. I don't like like strike throw fighting games in general.
Yeah, the risk reward was fair, is that you didn't like the risk?
Just have good anti-airs. Fair, I can see that.
Mortal Kombat's a series that just does not have good anti-airs.
Historically, anti-airs are almost a coin toss.
That's fair.
But it's almost a part of the identity, you know?
Like, that's the thing. That's like, you almost get into a Mortal Kombat.
Yeah, jab stand ones or stand ones stand two. Those are anti-airs of Mortal Kombat. Are they consistent anti-airs? No.
But you almost buy into the fact that if you're playing a Mortal Kombat game and you know you're playing a Mortal Kombat game
You know anti-airing is not going to be necessarily good
In fact down to became much more anti-air options later on
That's like, what if they look, for example, I think the example is this, dude, what
if they gave down to like upper body and vulnerability, that would change a lot.
That would be an extremely grounded as fuck and gay game, you know?
Hmm.
Now don't know if I like it. That would be insane.
That's an interesting observation. Why I like up block, but I can understand why it's a
solution to a problem that maybe didn't need to be there.
Down two should be unsafe on block. Yeah, I'd always push this shit away.
like Delta Gear 6B. Yes, 6B is usually a very low commitment button, but to be honest,
do 6P and guilty gear, I don't think has ever had the amount of consistency as it's
had in strife. Like, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not the most proficient guilty
gear player, bro. But 6P in strife is fuck balls crazy. That shit like eats what the fuck
is this shit, dude?
It beats like grounded normals.
Like what the hell?
It's nutty.
Has it always been crazy?
I don't remember it being that good in the older ones?
Not that good.
Maybe some characters had some good six piece,
but that shit is God-like and strive, dude.
All this talk about get the difference when a place drive.
I want to get back into it. I want to try 2.0.
So there's 6 p.m. through project.
That's cool. That's situational though.
Anyway.
I'll be real, I mean, this is a boomer-ass take.
I like they're being execution behind good antires.
I don't like two h's.
I do not like Dragon Ball two h's.
I don't like the fact that you can sit on down back
and press one button and have the entire upper part of your body
and vulnerable and kill somebody.
And it leads to full combo and shit.
I'm like, oh, like, you know what was the OG 2H chat?
It was a down heavy punch and street fighter.
And it would lose.
Like it would trade because down heavy punch in street fighter
did not have any invulnerability.
It was just fast.
So how did you circumvent that you had to learn to do a DP motion?
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of two XKOs 2H either.
I don't love that.
Yeah, the Mexican uppercut is like,
It's still good, but it's a give you the consistency
that you want of an actual anti-air?
No, like it doesn't give you a light DP.
So, that's a personal gripe of mine.
Like I kind of feel like, I feel like if you're gonna
knock somebody out of the air with a level of consistency,
I think there should be execution behind it, dude.
I think that's a normal relationship
between two characters.
And some characters might have better ones than others
going to be wrong, but like I do not like what Dragon Ball has done to a lot of fighting
games post Dragon Ball, which is that two Hs are just god like, they're so good, two Hs are
going to be in Tokyo, definitely. Oh, they are. Oh, they're they definitely are.
Max again, upper kind of ever heard of that before. Look up fighting game glossary.
the it's an old term for down heavy punch in Street Fighter 2 it's a classic that's true
two H makes more fun in 2 XK because of how much different jump arcs you can make yeah I can understand
that care just going to do a lot of like air stalling and shit however that also exists in all of the
the versus games man. Like we could acknowledge that aerial mobility is likely the most powerful
in games like Marvel vs Capcom, right? Like no other fighting game gives characters that type of
wild ass mobility and the ground in the air. Like NBC is the king. Guess what NBC also doesn't have.
Reliable anti-ears. It has none. Like characters have DPs and stuff and they're bad. Like they're
You usually never use them.
So what is that lead?
It leads to a lot more scrambly shit.
If you do, if you do down heavy punch in an NAMVC game,
that stuff is not consistent.
So it's like that kind of leads you to meeting,
you know what that does.
Instead of sitting on down back,
it makes you meet the person in the air, right?
Or avoid them completely, right?
because they're powerful up here so you get the fuck away.
Don't want to engage with that or you meet them at the sky.
That's why a lot of MVC games, it isn't like sitting down here and fighting.
It's beating them up here and fucking around in this area.
You know, MVC three is such a really good game.
It really felt because we live in a world where games are not fit and just never got it.
Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, let's be real.
Full acknowledgement, ultimate marble three,
is an amazing, likely one of the best fighting games ever made.
Yeah, completely unaccident.
As long as we can acknowledge that and learn from the happy accidents, then I think that's okay.
You don't want to design your games with happy accidents, but almost all of the most beloved
fighting games of all time, the coolest things in the game and the most fun shit in the game was
an accident. It was not designed that way on paper or programmed in the game to work that
way necessarily. They did something else to fix another issue and it led to this insane
thing. People need to appreciate happy accidents and games work. Yeah, absolutely. I think
I think it's a, it makes it, it makes it weird when people try to recreate games that
were pretty much happy accidents,
and they never can recreate the magic.
Because dude, this wasn't intentional.
Like, just as an example,
here's a wild thing,
just in terms of like art and interpretation,
games, movies, whatever.
The Expedition 33 devs thought the game was gonna bomb.
Before it came out, they were talking about that,
before the game was released,
like, is the game anything good?
And they like, we don't know.
Like, we were working on it for four years,
And they didn't even know if they were making a game that they liked.
They were just like, oh, it has a lot of stuff that we enjoyed, but like, is it really
good?
Ah, it's probably not going to do very well.
There's another movie I watched behind the scenes of that recently happened.
And they were working on it for so long.
They were working on the movie for five years.
And by the time it came out, they did not know if they actually did not like the movie.
The jet got to a point where they were like, do we even like this anymore?
Like, I don't know.
That's what they said to each other. Movie was Kpop Demon Hunters, like legit movies. I like happy accident dude
That it just like blew up the lead directors were like, do we even like this anymore? Like by the time they were finally finished with it
They'd watch it forever and they're like in that really
Like they were too close to it for too long. They didn't even know what they liked anymore
It's like wow and then it ends up being like the biggest fucking movie of all time type of shit. It's like wow. Dude. That's crazy
So yeah, like fighting games with the same way, like you can, and this is why I also personally think that, like,
I think fighting games are a little over-designed nowadays to be real, like too many interactions are accounted for.
That's what I used by the term, what is the freedom to screw this up?
Where's the freedom to get this wrong?
to actually use your mechanics and not the perfect way, you know?
Not in the way that's intentionally designed.
And a lot of games nowadays, because they're designed by fighting game,
mostly fighting game players, they're coming from an interpretation that is a background
of fighting games and how they work and what they enjoy about the games that they enjoy
in the past, you know, that inspiration goes directly into games.
So, in terms of old fighting games, they were not designed by like players, most of them
were not.
They were casual and joyers at best, but they were just designed to be fun, like most of
the older games not designed to be necessarily confedant competitive, just designed because
they had cool ideas for it could be in a fighting game, you know?
And it doesn't mean that fighting games can't be cool if they're designed by fighting game
players, like don't get me wrong, but chat, just as it heads up, there's a lot of fighting
game people on like Street Fighter VI as an example.
But there was one thing that I had a pretty good premonition of that Street Fighter VI was
going to be successful before it came out.
And it was like one of the lead combat designers of the game.
Guess what his, guess what the game was that he worked on before Street Fighter VI, the last
big game that he worked on.
That's what it was.
Yeah, some people know.
Some people know.
Last game he worked on was BAN at a two.
The BAN at a guy, yeah.
So he designed like the visual combat aesthetic of the game.
The BAN at a two combat guy.
So it's like, huh, interesting.
And at that point, you start like, see, that's the kind of energy you need.
You need people that don't jump into fighting game shit and understand how fighting games
work, man.
You need people that have a completely different perspective from other genres.
The jumping and be like, what can I take from my character action game shit in a relatively
uninvestigated field and be like, so how can I put that shit in there?
And yeah, dude, like, what does Street Fighter 6 have in the first like three months
of the game being out, it's like, now we've been watching the same God damn shit
happened for three years, you know, like the same thing happened for so many years, of
course.
But dude, the first three months of you being exposed to that shit, all this wild ass slow
moment shit, Perry timing slow, but wild witch time bullshit, like, whoa, visuals of this
shit are fucking wild man.
The final hit like crazy, like it makes moments out of everything.
It's so cool, moves the camera on counter hit, like there's all these little things all
over the place that is such a good goddamn idea.
So it's like, yeah, that helped, that really helped makes the game very visually striking,
you know?
So anyway, I think that's valuable.
I think it's valuable to get people that are like good at other things into a space where
they have to be creative.
You can't just rely on the stuff that you know works.
You got to try and get shit, you know?
I think that's when you get actually
generally really cool fighting games.
I mean, and to be completely honest,
I feel like we obviously saw that with Tekken to a degree,
because everything about Tekken 8
was the antithesis of what Tekken 7 was as a competitive game.
It was so hyper-focused around fixing the issues of Tekken 7's competitive nature,
which was that it was an extremely lame game.
It was very defensive, you know?
Pressing buttons was super dangerous,
And so much of tech and eight was just gorilla action, you know?
So, did it need to do that?
Not necessarily, but maybe it needed like a fresh pair of eyes.
Well, they honestly did that because they put the DOA guy in there too, and that has crazy
stage interaction all over the place, which isn't like the worst thing, that's not that bad.
The stage interaction stuff can be really aggressive and nuts, but when you compound
in same DOA stage bullshit with crazy heat shit, with all this other stuff, yeah, it
gets to be a bit much.
When you have to put these systems on systems, on systems.
Michael, thanks, man.
They're using X-Men 90s cartoon anime voice actors, the original voice actors, I'm super excited.
for Tocon? Interesting. Well Steve, Steve Bloom is Wolverine and that's not the OG Wolverine.
OG Wolverines in the X-Men 97. Yeah, technique combos are two goddamn long, I agree. I agree.
But two goddamn long. What's the latest fighting game that didn't feel overly designed?
I mean, if we're going to talk about the ones that are like already out or coming out,
Avatar has a lot of freedom of interpretation.
Two XKO, definitely, gives a lot of freedom of interpretation a lot.
Grand Blue feels pretty designed, at least to me.
The city of the wolves can't, to a degree, to a degree.
If we're talking about the ones that are on the horizon,
invincible reminds me a lot of K.I.
Where they put systems in the game, it's supposed to cover first stuff,
but you're going to find some wild shit.
Like, that is just the game where you're going to be able to find,
like, absolutely insane shit.
Avatar, I mean, at least what we played so far a little bit, you know.
Power Rangers battle for the grid was very much.
It was not over-designed, but it was also, it was also intentionally designed to be very
Marvel-like, you know.
I mean, it always is, it always is, two X games with a wall, two X games with a wild game.
I don't, and again, it's a game that I have fun with, but if it will be real, I always felt like two X
is a game that was designed backwards, and it's not even a bad thing.
It makes sense considering the nature of its development being like fighting game fans.
I feel like two XCO was designed backwards, where the game was initially designed with
insane mix that was the goal.
And then they move backwards to things like character traits and game feel and all that
kind of stuff.
Like that came later, usually all that shit has to be figured out first, you have to kind
like find a game that feels okay and does all this shit and massage that out to get to a
point where you start to figure out the high level. It feels like the high level of 2xKO was
the first thing they did. And then they had to like start going in the other direction and figuring
out the rest of the stuff of the game. And I think they found their way, I really do. I think
I think it's still very fun.
And the biggest tell-tale sign of that was the fuses.
Game did not need to have like 10 fuses, dude.
Not five fuses.
It didn't.
And the fuses were there to solve the issues of that,
like, okay, so our systems are not complimenting each other
necessarily super well.
Like we have to figure this out.
The fuses were immediately like,
okay, what is going on here, dude?
Just like, damn, thank you.
But franchises make the best fighting game that has ever been made a fighting game before.
Try and ball.
Why did you just say that?
Why did you just say that?
What franchise would make the best fighting game that has never been made a fighting
Okay, before.
You know, I think the person that finds the answer to that will make a lot of money.
Right?
I think the person that finds a way to turn that into something.
I mean, invincible is like right there, and they're doing it.
Dark souls.
Imagine chat.
Imagine if the next Soul Caliber was like,
fuck it, from Sawfighter.
Could you even imagine it if like somehow by the graces of Bandai Namco,
like Miyazaki's cool with it. The Soul Caliber guys just make a from soft fighting game.
And it's pretty much just like night reign, use whatever you got. You can just have all these characters
just fight each other like a Soul Caliber and a 3D arena.
I think it would only do so well. But damn imagine that, holy shit. Could you imagine that shit, dude?
Wow. And there you could like make it with customization and shit. You can like give characters abilities and stuff like magic and stuff.
Make them be able to like, and view weapons and shit. You can really lean into it.
But make it all completely focused around like 3D fighting arena. Like, like a soul caliber, make it 1v1.
That would be if you really, if you really hammered home the things that made Dark Souls and Elden Ring cool.
A role. Yeah. Yeah. Why couldn't it have like a role dodge in some way?
Artoria's jumping and shit. Yeah. Why not?
That's, it would pretty much have to have stamina unless you really designed around it, you know?
I think I would love that.
I think I would personally love that. I think it'd be really cool. That's a good question.
The other one I think is Final Fantasy, because the city I was a fighting game to get me wrong.
But I think just give Arc System works the fucking Final Fantasy characters, man.
Like give Arc System works access to the Final Fantasy, like,
compendium of characters, like the way they did with Grand Blue, but then have it and
create a captivating ass art style, even different looking than Grand Blue, because Grand Blue's
was to look like that one guy's art style, they have to make a new art style, dude.
Did you even imagine if ArcSystem works got like Final Fantasy characters across the board,
and then make a fighting game out of it?
that's just me you know
bro they made a fighting a man persona
went pretty well
I'm going to give it to the nod to the developer that I mentioned the supers.
Yeah, but I would not want it to be an arena fighter.
I don't want another arena fighter.
I'm just not the arena guy.
It's a good question.
Logitech good question. Thank you for the donation as well.
Do not only shit, Slabwak.
Don't forget thanks for the five dudes. Nailad Drew.
Michael Colin, thanks for the five.
Deeman Lord, Lemmy Slams, Kurokagi Ray, the unorthodox, I'm glad it's hard to stream in the night.
It was like sitting with my kid, she was falling asleep and I was like, I think I can, I think I should go stream.
I'm glad it's hard to stream in the night. We have some good chats.
Rich, thanks for the five, dude. I think Indie Devs need to relax on three-footer clones and smash clones that give so caliber like a shot.
I, again, like indie devs mostly, yeah, like most games that were came in from Indies
or like Street Fighter 4 clones for a very long time and melee clones.
So I agree with you.
I really like the idea of, I something that is not a dev directly for games, of let
that indie devs cook. And I don't mean let just just then the same way that if you're
an indie dev, right, for a fighting game, there's a good chance that you were a fighting
game player and you just loved this shit. So a lot of your inspiration is going to
be worn on your sleeve and it's going to be felt in the games themselves. That happens
in even modern releases of fighting games like, you know, that we play now it is. You can
see the inspiration on its sleeve. I really like the idea of an indie fighting game dev
like approaching shit from a unique perspective and not having like a shit on a budget.
Where it's just make like a one-ve-one game with two characters, and just let's get something
mechanically different.
Let's get something that like, let's think about this shit differently.
And it doesn't need to be big and crazy and overbudget in this stuff.
No, just like do something that kind of breaks the boundaries a little bit.
Yeah, to be honest, dive kick as sort of like simplistic of a game as it is.
Yes, it was a very, it like that doesn't play like other fighting games, man.
Is it going to be a thing that was going to last forever that completely depends, right?
But still, it was an idea that was like genuinely different.
And it's like, yeah, you're not going to get much games that are like this, you know?
So I want to see more shit like that where it's like, instead of games just being very,
Like this feels like this, but just less, you know?
That's what a lot of like indie fighting games can kind of boil down to.
If feels like I'm playing this game, but less, you know?
If feels like I'm sort of playing a melee, but it also just isn't melee.
Like, I think that's kind of rough.
It's, it's why like, to be real, I vibe with killer instinct so much.
is that, KII 2013 got me to think about fighting games differently, dude, like the way
that you engage with people was not what I normally do in anything.
And that like, whoa, like this is making me, my brain is being activated in ways that it
normally doesn't.
The game plan has changed, like what is good, like what you do and what is good is now
fundamentally change from a design perspective.
So, yeah, it's like, I like the idea of indie devs like doing that kind of stuff.
But it's a much taller ask than it is just to make a request like a streamer on a stream
talking about this shit.
Hey, make the new best fucking thing ever like, oh, well, that everyone would have done
that shit, you know?
Everyone would have done that shit.
Make a fighting game that specifically sells
by crazy as mechanics alone,
and is that like enjoyable?
Fuck, everybody would have done that shit.
Just be just be the great.
Just be great.
It's not, it's almost like it's not easy.
This is why I was so freaking fascinated
like the future of 4v4 fighting games, when it seemed like the future could be Marvel vs. Capcom 4,
and then it ended up being token, like Tocca and Tocca and Tocca, the mantle, but their approach to
what 4v4 was, at least at the time, was kind of way less than we thought that was going to be.
It was almost like 4v4 was a detriment to the game itself, because it didn't want to scare you.
Instead of it seem like 4v4 could be mega fun, right? It felt like the game
was just terrified of being 4v4, and it didn't want to scare you. We want to do everything
we can to protect you from this being 4v4. Yeah, so it had an identity problem. That might
be changing now. But in that same way, it's like, well, imagine the game that actually
embraces the shit out of it. Imagine the next game that manages to take, like a 4v4
tag formula and make it not balls. Make it not confusing. Make it not something that doesn't
make any sense on a controller with six buttons. You know, like that seems very difficult.
Until you do it, 3v3 was also the dumbest fucking thing ever. Why would anybody do that?
Until somebody did it well, this was what we made the video on back and like March or some
shit, where it's like the future of what a 4v4 fighting game could be crazy if you actually like
embrace it and go nuts with it. And well, that didn't necessarily like work out in the way we did.
But that's the thing, is that like I just want to think about a fighting game in different ways,
you know? That's all I'm trying to say. I want to think about how I engage my imponent in ways
that I've never done before, instead of everything that's feeling familiar, but less.
If there's one thing to it's detriment, but also to its benefit, that was like frustrating,
but also made it feel very unique. Superdash and Dragon Ball definitely did that, dude.
Like, Dragon Ball having a homing-fucking-air dash at any point that can
jump scare you like it's Jason Voorhees was definitely like oh this shit is horrifying
and also insane like it got you thinking about how you engage with people in like fighting
games like a little bit differently you know.
How far can you take this before it's not a fighting game anymore dude? Dragon Ball has an inherent
neutral skip on every single character in the game. You could have argued 10 years ago
that this isn't even a fighting game. Killer Instinct had a combo breaker on almost every hit
interaction. When that game came out, people criticized that it's not a fighting game because
it's like I landed the hit. That's the entire point. That's the point of fighting games. I landed
the hit. I should be rewarded. Through this shit, you know? Like, yeah, people blew it off.
Now, they're celebrated as being some of the best fucking games ever.
Like, it's going to be impossible to ever emulate the magic that was Dragon Ball Fighters in the first year.
And it's going to be impossible to get a game as like unique as fucking killer instinct.
Like everything else is kind of kind of kind of similar.
Yo, Ruth Roth, thank you.
When we get news for VF, ah, then there's where that goes.
So where is the virtual fighter news?
Yeah.
I hope, man, like considering the weirdness that's been going down at RGG that I had to
learn about.
I hope that game is going okay.
I really do.
I didn't know that should existed.
And I was like, oh, okay.
I hope that isn't having to be honest, like when I found out about weird
asked RGG stuff happening at that studio, um, with all the, the latest
of the two in with Yakuza, I wasn't concerned about Yakuza, or like the
future Yakuza games and stuff. I was more confused about like virtual
fighter. I was like, oh, I wonder if that affects the F in any way?
There's been some weird RGG is a real good talk of studios. The guys that make the
The Arkas of Games that are also making virtual flider, there's been some weird shit
happening over the past year with like leadership, I guess, and game quality, and some
choices.
Like there's been some funky, I had to learn about this, I thought the Arkas of Games
were all just accepted, but there's been some weird shit ever since what's his name left.
So, they are very different studios, mind you, but yes, it's negotiate left.
Yeah, slightly concerned, as I'll say, is slightly concerned that hopefully, hopefully
that doesn't affect the biggest yakuza games came out after Negoti left?
No, no, dude, he was making those games.
You had to understand that, right?
Like they didn't make a game in that short period of time after he left, you know, like
games take like years to make. He wasn't though. What could they have made in such a short
period of time? Like he was involved. Infinite wealth. Then this guy leave like two to three years ago.
Well, that's Brenty, I also be with a follow this shit.
Didn't he leave like in 2023?
They do a Yakuza game almost every year, basically. Right, they don't take one year to make.
They take a long time to make.
So you're saying infinite wealth was the first one that had no involvement from Negotiate.
Okay, he left in 2021.
Oh, it was a lot longer than I thought. Okay.
Makes sense.
He went to netty's ways making his new yocca's a game.
That's where he's at right now. Now he's like making his own shit.
Yeah, that's definitely enough time to ship stuff.
Like they would have made the entirety of pirate yocca's without him.
Interesting. That was a lot longer ago than I thought. Interesting. Time sucks. Bitch, that
was when virtual fighter five re-release came out. That was when Sega hit me up to like
like promote that game early on.
Not even paid, it was just like,
dude, we're doing virtual fighter again.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Excuse me?
Yeah, we re-re-made virtual fighter.
You want to show it?
I'm like, what the fuck are you like losing my shit?
I'm like, what do you mean you re-made virtual fighter?
They're like, yeah, it's just a,
they don't realize like how big of a thing they're doing.
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm like, trying to explain it to this guy.
Maybe it doesn't work there anymore.
But like, yeah, you want to make a video on it,
we're announcing it in a few days.
I'm like, what the fuck? Holy shit.
Yeah, I do.
It's insane.
Goes on to do very well.
Convinces Frig and Sega to make a new VF.
Holy shit.
DOA6 won't have crossplay and possibly
we won't have rollback or will.
That's wild, that old 3D fighting games are back, but still caliber.
I, maybe that means, maybe that means that it can show up in the future.
I hope so.
GGB, thank you.
Hearing that fighting game since I'll end gameplay from you last year, it was a gut punch,
but it's fair.
I wonder how that could be discussed with that sounding negative, like how fighting games
should have spoken on other things to grab people first.
I mean, it's always been that way, dude.
It's always been that way.
That's not just your presentation or otherwise.
Like, just into fighting game is amazing to play it, does that mean it's going to sell well?
No, it'll be received extremely well by audiences.
I have a good example, right? Here's a good example.
Ultimate Marvel 3 debuted in its first month, the 50,000 units.
It bombed, like hard. It would eventually make that up because, as time went on,
people saw characters they liked or were exposed to things in the game that they enjoyed.
So, it would like have legs as time went on, but initially, where people were people looking
at like the game play of Ultimate Marvel 3 is being the thing that will get them on board.
No, that was actually characters, dude.
Characters ended up being the thing that sold that game the most over time.
Street Fighter 6, so more than Marvel versus Capcom 3.
Street Fighter 6 has told three times the amount of Marvel versus Capcom 3 and a much
shorter period of time.
Yes, by a lot, by like a lot.
Oh yeah.
the
team in the last three was probably
the launch and I'm saying is
that the game selling on its game
play enhancements alone
was not enough to convince people
within a short period of time
ten months after that this is
worth spending to 40 bucks on
you know
if if that was the case then the
entire audience would have been
like hell yeah game play so
good list is by this shit it wasn't
This is what people were looking for, even if it had characters in shit.
The entirety of the Tekken series, it's an entire history, has never been sold specifically
by its gameplay.
It's been sold by visuals and single-player content.
to see what was the next thing I wanted to check out
tell them to go we need urban rain to a man
i don't have a rata as a contact anymore so i mean i don't know what to tell you
that's all me and her auto would do he just talk about old ship
whenever i ran into him
I would sit there and,
gab with harada and Mike Murray for like an hour
about like cool old shit.
You know, we need to go over the token changes
and the Capcom Pro Tour stuff, thank you.
It's crazy, me that harada's retired.
That's, it's crazy.
We talked about the avatar beta.
I think it was,
is the Avatar beta happening when Resident Evil comes out?
Wait.
The elevator beta go down,
February 27th of March 1st.
When does the rain not come out?
I ain't dying.
For least 8.
Oh, my God!
It's the 27th, it's the same day.
Always pick your favorite child, always pick between Monster Hunter or Dragon Ball.
Just choose Skip R9.
Tocon 2.
No, Tocon isn't doesn't have a beta in this time.
Not in this time frame.
I'll just have to find ways to do them both.
I'll have to just stream a shit ton.
Can you beat it in two days?
I don't know.
It's not out.
It ain't out yet.
I don't know.
Ari 9 can be 160 hours sprawling adventure like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Crem, so many mini games up Leon's ass where I have no idea.
Fortunately, we don't know.
Wait a minute, just announced Final Fantasy 7 presentation happening on February 27th.
No direct timeframe listed. They just say it's when Resident Evil and Avatar comes out.
Yeah, look at this tweet right here. Check it out. It's right here. It says it'll debut right when
Avatar and Resident Evil come out. That's crazy. Look at that. Check it out, Chad. It's right there.
Do you see it? It doesn't even give it time frame. It just says whenever Mac starts streaming
and he's streaming Resident Evil and Avatar. The just announced it. That's wild.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
Oh, look, dude, they addressed it.
By the way, this is the other thing I want to talk about.
Look, they straight up address it.
At least the full power of your team with the telecon assembly.
A four-care to super-attack that decimates the opponent.
Hell yeah, dude.
Hell yeah, this is what I was fucking complaining about.
Please.
Hello, clown. The part three reveal trailer does not yet exist.
There reveal trailer will be coming out this year, but the cop will not end.
Now I'm February 12th and when the May State of Pleasure,
let me go and hope you.
Let us continue coping together.
This is official, yes. This was from the Final Fantasy Twitter.
Never!
Say, fan.
Two more months to the end.
People in the house have been...
Oh, worse.
They'll make his way till summer game fast.
Let's see.
I love it out of the anticipation of when Part 3 comes up.
It's almost as big as Part 3.
Like, I love it.
I love it that this scene is also perfect for this shit dude.
I'm not yet, like, everything about this seed is like, so perfect.
Like, like, I even, somebody at the chat said it to me, where it was like, what is
the line of dialogue that Sephiroth has with cloud?
That which lies ahead does not yet exist, like I shit, like, every time there's an event
that we're waiting for.
which lies ahead, does not yet exist, bro, chill.
It's like damn.
Now the anticipation of this shit,
which is not even like, since the last game,
this is like the big anticipation, bro.
Okay. This is the 30-year cook.
So these characters are now reflective of that.
Now we're like, oh, Jesus Christ, man.
Now that wasn't voiced by Jorge. He sounds way too good.
It sounds too cool. Jorge doesn't sound that cool.
that cool.
Okay, Docs.
Thank you.
Tech to grab.
Thanks for the 127 months.
Appreciate it.
Anyway.
I will find you.
I will find you.
Chat.
Yeah.
So the avatar closed beta test is a sign upable.
I retweeted it.
The links right there is the direct link.
I will link it in here too.
Okay.
Link.
There we go.
You guys want to follow this stuff to sign up for avatar beta.
I've got no's how long that's going to last because you guys are probably going
to crash that shit.
Don't let me tell you that it's fun.
Play it yourself.
Don't let me try to convince you that this shit is good-goated.
The only opinions I want to be ones with committed jumps like Street Fighter and double
non-junctive committals like Smash with NBC and aerial drifting.
I like games that give me more freedom in the air for sure.
Um, it's the reason I like third strike straight up.
I like third strike because you can punish somebody's
anti-air.
I've always liked that about it.
So I enjoy those more.
I enjoy those more than like grounded footsie games.
To be real dude, if like I really get into the grounded footsie
games that I like the most, I just play Tekken.
I actually like Tekken for that with punishing and stuff like that.
really enjoy Tekken for Whiff Punishing.
It's like, honestly, I think I like whiff punishing
and Tekken more than I do in Street Fighter.
But that's fun in any game.
Whiff Punishing is just a natural, enjoyable thing.
Yeah, side stepping, walking around a dumb bitch.
Just feels too good.
So yeah, I kind of like it when two new games
give you a bit more freedom in the air.
A little bit, they don't need to be crazy air dashers
with Dragon Ball games.
I like it and it's why I like fatal fury.
That's why I like fatal fury.
So, yeah, let's, I want to get into this because this is now the new big mechanical
thing in the game.
Marvel Tocan is officially admitted it.
We did witness a new assemble mechanic.
It was pretty obvious from the trailer, but it also seemed like the trailer was hinting
at several other things that I really want to talk about.
For some perspective, there were multiple surveys that went out after the first talk
on beta and the second.
And the second was very specific in what it was asking.
And it seemed like, OK, so the dev seemed to be aware of what people are saying about
the game's gameplay.
And that was a somewhat relieving sign that like,
okay, maybe things can change for the better,
but they didn't in the second beta.
The second beta was really similar to the first.
There wasn't enough that change in the game
to make this feel like it's a different experience.
It was like such an incremental difference.
I was like, yeah, this is more polished,
but we're not changing how the game is being played.
So that was like the issue that a lot of us had.
The reason that so many fighting game players
just did not play the second beta of Tocon,
or played very little of it was because everyone's decision
was kind of made from the one before.
And when it didn't seem like a lot changed,
it was like, okay, well, what was the way for the game
to come out?
It was weird.
It's weird that people aren't jumping on to play a beta.
Maybe they saw that sort of data on the backend.
Because that second survey man was asked
in very specific questions.
Like, is this game boring to play?
And I was like, whoa, okay, so they're aware.
And I'm making assumptions here
that I think based on what we saw with this latest
to a controller, that straight up, there was enough feedback
in the survey where they were able to convince higher-ups
or people that are designing certain aspects of the game.
Okay, check this out. We have data now.
This was exactly the reason we were mentioning to people.
Don't take my word for it when we're talking about the survey, my dude.
Just tell them what you think.
I'm not going to say you should be saying the things that I'm saying.
I'm saying that if enough people feel the way that you feel about it, even if this game's
goaded, it's the best, I love this.
If a billion people say the same thing, then guess what, it ain't changing, it's gonna stay.
But if everyone says the same things that, you know, I'm sort of saying too, and a lot of other
people are also saying, then there's a chance that that could change, potentially in my opinion,
makes a much more enjoyable game to play in the long run.
And straight up, one of the biggest things of the game that was an issue to me is that
it did not feel like building the team was substantial.
And then really feel like from the beginning of the match, at the end of the match, if I'm
only using one character, then there's really not much mechanically happening that incentivizes
to me to build the team other than getting a few more assists.
So it's like, oh, this is rough.
This straight up fixes that straight up dude.
And now there is a substantial difference, I don't know how this is going to work, or if it requires
you to use an X-Men team, that would tie in a suck.
But this new mechanic that's in the game is something that only is going to work if you build
your team.
And yeah, okay, cool, we're doing a team super sick.
This is moving into direction that is legitimately cool.
Something is now going to be way different at the end of a match compared to the beginning
of a match.
Okay, that addresses a big complaint that I had from from the very first builds of the game now if we go back
I'm gonna pull up the SOP really quick
That wasn't it though. That was not the only thing that was really being changed in the game
We made several other observations of direct gameplay changes that are going down and other people have made the same
observation too
Let's go to the trailer directly
and I'll pull a few examples just to show what was different from when you are
I played the beta.
You cannot stand against the storm.
The storm's in the game.
She's doing storm stuff.
It's pretty normal.
So immediately, that's a difference.
You would not notice it if you had not played potentially the rest of the
Let's wait a minute, let's check this out.
When magic comes in, right after this super,
let's be at them soon.
The tags a little bit faster.
So bringing in characters and transferring the soul happens a little bit quicker.
And I think it happens even faster in some other situations.
you're good
you're good
this is all relatively normal stuff no big changes here
so here is a this is a hidden change and is also a big concern from a lot of people that
just played fighting games.
It was very hard to like, call assists in Tocon.
It was very hard for a sister to do the thing
that you wanted them to do.
There was a lot of like layers to it that weren't fun.
And it just led to you pressing buttons
and not getting the response you wanted,
which was like, ooh, the feedback loop
of the game had a problem.
So check this out.
That issue was that when you jumped in the air in Tocon,
you got a different assist than your ground that assists.
You got an aerial assist
that was sort of like generic and was like a beam.
Every character did like a similar sort of beam aerosist.
Was it that good?
Not really.
It felt like dude, I just want the grounded assist.
Like can I just get the thing that I normally get if I'm jumping in the air, I don't
need this, I want to do me the other one.
So what do they show very briefly in this trailer?
Right here, Storm comes in as an assist right after danger knocks down and she is no longer
doing her grounded generic assist. She's not out there doing the air assist, either. If we go back like a tiny bit.
You can see when she calls the assist, it's actually in the air. I'm going to go back
frame by frame here, hold on. Come on you. So you see the little green sparkle. Green sparkle means
that's when the assistant is called. So it's being called in the air. Storm does not do her
aerial assist, dude. She comes in and does something else. Even more importantly, she's not only
doing something else. She's not doing her generic beat. Remember, if you're hitting people in this
game, if you're actually like hitting people on block or hit, the assist became universal. They
They became just the, everyone does a generic like, like, be a cyst where they just hit
you once and they send you into a spin state and they juggle it pretty much made like
every single characters combos look the exact same.
But what does Storm do?
It's, it's extremely brief, but check this out.
It's extremely brief.
They almost like don't want to show us everything.
Storm is doing, I think her unique assist.
She's doing the not generic assist.
huge, right?
This is huge.
This makes every interaction no longer the same
across the board for every character.
If you're seemingly able to call grounded assist in the air
and also different kind of assist on the ground.
If we can make the choice of which one we want to do,
that is so big, dude.
That means that we're not going to be seeing
the exact same thing happen.
Over and over and over and over and over again, dude.
And this makes the game immediately way better.
Again, from a perspective of me playing it very early on, it was an obvious limitation.
Why are we so limited on what we can do when and where?
This feels weird.
It's a game that is so scared to be a team game.
It's so scared for you to use everything that we're going to very specifically make it
that you can only use this here and there.
It's straight up, storm using this assist on the ground here, and the fact that that danger
called the assist will in the air, huge.
It's huge!
Um, and it's a direct answer to this up we've been waiting about.
I'm super happy.
So, I'm here to avoid further danger.
Again, it isn't a confirmation that it's go to everything's fixed, mind you, playing
the game is the most important thing in the world.
We have to, we have to eventually get our hands on and play it.
we were reading the changes back in the December beta, but was it, but was this beta 2?
We read those changes like the game, oh my god, they're really fixing shit. And then we played
it and it wasn't that different. So I am hopeful by seeing a couple of these changes, but still,
I am not going to pull an opinion about Tocan, like a true heart opinion, like
like, game is just not for me straight up.
Until it comes out, until it ships its version one,
and then it comes out, and it's a game that you can buy,
then we can start, like, actually saying,
yeah, I just don't like this about it,
because until then, anything can change dude.
And it seems like things are changing.
Including giant team up mechanic,
because that makes sense.
And I really hope this isn't just for X-Men,
or just for one team.
I hope it's like any team can do this.
Who the fuck?
Maybe the deaths are worried about the games
would be too much that they helped things back,
but now more people are playing
and they're really, people can handle it,
so they took the limiter's off.
I mean, yeah, because this is a symbol thing
that they showed at the end.
This was shown in the very first trailer,
like this cinematic was shown in the very first trailer.
trailer, but we didn't have access to use it in the beta. So it's like it was there. And it
always felt like the game was holding something back. So yeah, yeah, they were. It felt that way
and they were. So let's get through the field a little bit more at the end of this trailer
is even is even cooler in the post conversation with the Marvel dude and the Arxis dude.
They give a little bit more game play stuff and we can actually break down several more things that are changing about the game.
Magic looks cool.
Here is a big one.
Check this out. This could be a Wolverine specific thing, but based on this little bit of footage,
it seems like they opened up combos a lot.
So he's literally going to be able to check this out. As Wolverine picks them up at in this
hit, this is the combo stun gauge, right? And this is the combo gauge itself. This allowed
for about 10 hits before. And now it might have been bumped up to something close to 15.
Again, it is a nature of confirmation because Wolverine just might have a thing that allows him
to hit more. So the combos just are naturally bigger on him. It might not apply to everybody else,
but if we start slowing this shit down, the back speed 0.25. Look how many hits this guy gets in.
Then the combo gauge is barely moving.
It's like every other hit is actually building it.
And then now when he calls the generic assist on the bottom, dude, it brings it down
a shit ton.
Like the combo gauge is almost back at the beginning.
That is way different.
It almost like took down four pips instead of two.
So maybe, right?
There's a chance that they might have opened up combos, possibly a little bit more than
what was that before.
Again, I didn't think combos were really going to be an issue.
Combos, in my opinion, were boring because they all were the same thing because of the
generic assist.
There was no confirms in the game, like everything was knocked down into generic assist.
There was no reason to be saucy.
I think that was a problem.
People were going to find cool combos stuff.
You will.
It's, I think it was other things.
I think there was a lot of other things that were the issues with the token bay that's outside
of just like I just want cool combos it's like everybody's combos look the same man.
Then there's another one in here I want to highlight.
She's trained the X-Men over a year to battle simulation. So as a zoner in this game she's gonna
set up so many tracks that her opponents are gonna feel like they're running an obstacle course.
to
what
where was there was one that highlights a very fast tag
i think i missed it
there's one that highlights a a tag in
think of wall reen as an unstoppable savage terror some of his claw swipes
like on-run and he's literally gonna be able to shred through that was the generic as this
and
it was on the Wolverine video when he tags in danger
I think you're right that didn't happen yet I'm on a second. Let me try to find it
Think of low lean as an unstoppable savage tank some of his claw swipes that armor on them
and so he's literally going to be able to shred through a comment.
No, it's not.
It's it before the dev talk.
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Oh, there it is. Thank you. This is it.
So again, the game also had an issue with stopping things, right?
Most of my problems with the stage transitions were alleviated because the X-Men stage,
cool screenshot, the X-Men stage had no stage transitions.
And I thought the game was actually way better, you know, without characters flying constantly
and moving left or right, like through a multitude of stages, it felt normal to not have that happen.
And this, the wall impact allowed the character to come in.
So, yeah, X-Men stage straight up alleviated a lot of my issues.
But there was still a problem.
The game stops constantly.
Like the action stops.
And whether or not it's a wall break or a tag,
the entire game will just freeze in all agencies kind of gone
and you're waiting for you to get control again.
This is a direct fix to that because again,
the tag was so slow before.
It was like, you look and you watch the sold transfer to the character
and you're like, okay, so the ability for you to mix somebody up
up or have some interesting interaction happen was just not a there because the game
took so long to transfer the playability of a character. But check this out.
That was quick. I think we counted these frames before chat. In a previous trailer,
in previous gameplay, I think we counted the amount of frames that were here. And I think we
We countered it as the screen freeze, as no shit 30 frames.
It was either 29 or 30 frames depending on the video.
Yeah, it was about 30 frames before, which is a shit to the time.
So now we can directly compare.
Let's go back and take a look.
We can see how long the screen freeze happens on a tag now.
I think it's going to be half.
I legit think it's going to be either 15 to 20, which is good.
That means that's like on the cusp of reaction, which is what it should be.
It should be like right around reactable.
Let's find out.
From the tag to the screen freeze.
Here we go.
I'm gonna keep going.
I keep going.
All right.
Keep going, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
Okay.
Should we count it on?
I'm trying to remember how we counted it before.
It's on the green thing.
Okay, so character appearance, all right, so character appearance.
Let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
I think it was on the tag itself.
We can't count the assist.
This isn't right.
We're not doing it right.
We have to wait for the screen freeze to happen.
Screen freeze is not happened yet.
Cause it has to hit and then they go.
She has blades on her arms.
Okay, there it is.
There's the soul transfer.
All right, here we go.
Here's the soul transfer on the screen,
the screen freeze, checking out.
Why we're counting this to start up, not good.
There we go.
This was 30 frames before, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and she's already moving.
Interesting.
to. Interesting, do you get control quicker? Wow. Okay. It almost is like you get control
way before the soul even hits are now. I think it's at 22. Yeah, because now the screen
free's there's no more screen freeze they're moving. So it got eight frames faster
which is a lot quicker and we would almost have to go back. Sure it wasn't like 60 frames before
we got to check it out but it is significantly quicker.
here.
Jesus, dude. Bam, it's done. You know?
It's so much faster.
So again, that's barely any screen freeze at all.
Here. Let's find out.
That's no more puts in a round.
Token, trailer.
No more puts in a round.
Fighting souls announced trailer.
There we go.
All right.
So here's the old soul transfer.
All right, there's the old one.
And here is the new one.
Okay, looks just as fast, let's, let's find out, let's find out the difference.
So on screen freeze to actual transfer, I think this is the one we counted before.
there's sole, okay one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen, fifteen, eighteen, eighteen,
One, two, three, four, 25, 26, 27, 28, still not moving, 29, 30, 31, 32, and
we're moving.
It went from 32 frames to 22 to finally get movement.
That is a, what is this?
33% increase?
It's a big difference dude.
10 frame difference in a fighting game is massive.
That'll make something field substantially different.
So yeah, straight up, tagging got faster.
And what does that mean?
The game will not feel like it's stopping nearly as much.
And just by doing the math of it from this one to the previous one, the very basic.
It's quick.
It just feels so much more fluid.
Like the game just lacked fluidity.
So that's a big one for me.
And I think on top of all these things, these are some pretty significant changes.
This is not, it's just, it's going to make the game feel quicker.
It's going to make things feel snappier.
The combo freedom looks like it's opening up quite a bit.
There's a reason for you to build up a team like there are legit conclusions now.
So a lot of it could say is I am very excited.
I was at a point where my ass was coping so hard where I'm like dude, you can take the
X-Men from me.
You can make the entirety of the DLC, fantastic forecarotors.
All I want is to play a game that I really enjoy playing.
And I can enjoy playing and coming back to, like I said, I want, I just want to
game that I really like playing.
And I just did not get those vibes from it from the few times that I played.
It was always hope that it's going to be fun and it's never really clicks for me.
So I'm very happy, right?
At this point, I'm very happy.
Does it mean that I'm going to be happy after I play it?
I don't know.
It's a video game.
We still have to play this thing to find out.
But what I really want is another beta, right?
I really want an event or another beta for us to come back and be able to check out this stuff
and the different things that are happening.
I very much want to see what's going to happen with the way the current game is playing.
Because yes, it feels like some of the feedback that was taken from the previous beta
in the survey has directly gone in and in impact on the game, which is cool, dude.
What were people saying that there is, what is back like the fantastic force, much
I fucking love the fantastic force.
I can't believe that people are gaslighting me into thinking that I don't like them.
People were saying that there's a breakdown video or they're making a video of mechanics.
What are you talking about?
Is that on their Twitter?
Let me hear it to a roster.
They only have a team sink to make tags faster.
They kind of hinted all of the XMENT team because they all have synchronizations.
That's for the big super.
It was like a big final super.
Someone said, why don't they make a breakdown video?
Oh, and that's what I'm doing.
That's what I just did.
broke down like all the things we can tell from the trailer. If you mean, what about them?
I don't know if they need to be completely honest. I mean, that'd be nice because of feedback
from the beta. But you start to get into some weird 2xKo stuff where it's like, why do you feel
like you're patching the game before it's out? You know, just change it and then let us play it.
I don't know if we, I don't know if we need that yet, you know?
That was, that was a problem that two XKO had, is that like they were changing things in the game,
and it's like, so you're changing a whole bunch of the way the game plays, and it's not even out yet.
And you're talking to us like we know what you're talking about.
But it didn't make any sense.
Yeah, we casual players will not care about that.
If they directly talk about like feedback and things like that,
like that. Like, it would be nice to have a video on this.
This is a big deal, dude. This is like the game plays differently, you know?
This is a big deal. Like, I want to see what the heck is going on here.
Does this, you say, decimate the opponent? Is this an insta kill?
This is like an arc system works insta kill, I wonder.
the
whole ass new mechanic yeah exactly
are the next trailer is going to have new mechanics added in there too
all
You know what, I wouldn't be against it.
QXKO is pretty mechanically dry, right?
I'm sorry, token, not to XKO.
Tocons a little mechanically dry.
It almost was intentionally mechanically dry,
so that you can have four characters.
Like they were sort of doing that.
It felt like dude, like, can we get cool things to do with our teams?
Like why are we so locked out of this?
Why can't I not even choose to go into a level 3 DHC?
What is happening?
Like weird shit like that, you know?
You have no control over your DHC pattern.
Like that was like, what?
This makes no sense, dude.
Like weird shit like that.
So, to XK, why fuck me though?
Why fuck me bro?
It does start to make sense
If they're saving it, if mechanics are literally being saved, most fighting games don't
do that, most fighting games sort of present the game to you as the game.
And then, you know, you just get more characters over time.
It's a unique marketing aspect for sure.
That's very bizarre.
It is.
It's weird.
But still.
MVCI did that where it's like all the stones had different abilities and you had to learn
what each stone did in each new trailer.
It was okay because they were directly tied to like stone mechanics, you know?
It might not have been ready.
It's true.
It might not have been ready yet.
And that's okay.
It's weird that core game mechanics would not have been ready to show off when you're
first showing off the game.
I think this is a normal gameplay mechanic, right?
And it was there.
That was literally in the first trailer, my dude.
It was literally here.
You can watch it happen in the end.
Yeah, check it out.
This is it.
We thought this was cinematic bullshit.
We literally thought this was cinematic bullshit right here.
And in fact, look at this, Chad, I think we just got direct confirmation.
to look
bro they're on
the crazy stage
i just realized did they're literally doing it on the crazy stage
yeah
so there you go this is
we can almost add this to confirmation
um... they're on the grid area which means they're doing their big Avengers assemble team up attack
yeah
yeah okay and it's not xman exclusive
There's the reason why they shouldn't show them clash because you're pretty much beating up one character, right?
You're pretty much like decimating one character.
It's used as a trailer moment. We thought it was there just for a trailer. It's actually a mechanic.
And then this is the intro of the characters on the actual battle intro of the champion stage, right?
This is different.
Ah ha! Now we're starting to see through. So anyway, it's not like they didn't have this mechanic in the game already. It was there.
It was present in the first trailer. It's just that we didn't have access to it in the game.
Fascinating.
Did you do this for K-I trailers? No, no, the K-I trailers were cut like a few weeks before the character was out.
So
We had access to everything. Everything was already polished, mostly. It was like little things.
Big mechanical shit did not change in that time frame.
Same thing with early Dragon Ball Fighters.
In early DBZ trailers, really.
Starting to think that the play test was a way earlier build than we thought. I mean, it is. It was.
straight up.
So I made a farm combos before lunch. Well, dude, there's no farming combos in this game
because the combos the same on every goddamn character. Like, outside of some unique just-case
scenarios, but like, the good damage combo and every single character was the exact same thing.
L. M. H. Launcher. M. H. Spike down. M. H. Launcher. M. H. Spike down. Like it was the same for everybody.
That's the stuff we want to see change.
I'm not really worried about games surviving.
I just want them to be fun.
You know, I'm under a weird mentality that if a game is just good, it'll do fine.
You know, and even if it doesn't do fine, at least you have a good game.
Like the financial viability, there's only few things that I'm like, I want financially to be viable.
Um, yeah, sure. Like if they just don't get enough attention or stuff like that, like maybe some games that I deeply that attached to. But like for the most part, I kind of under the impression that if a game just hits man and everyone's super into this shit and it plays fun and it's really enjoyable then
Yeah, it'll find its success. It'll find a way to be like supported, you know?
Yeah, if it's free to play, that's a different, like, if it's a game that's specifically
free to play, it has to become immediately financially viable, you know, immediately.
Yeah, that's a good example, revelator, because nobody was buying guilty or XR, and I thought
that was blasphemy.
It pissed me off.
Big, big publishers, I'm sorry, big publishers, but big new sites were barely covering
it. You'll see your ex-harders, one of those games where I was like not even good at it, man,
but it bugged me. It bugged me that like no one's paying attention to this. What the fuck?
I don't get it. Didn't get any coverage. They didn't even get reviewed by some sites, dude.
I'm like, what the fuck is going on? So yeah, that was kind of like, go buy this shit. Please,
please go buy this shit. It's amazing. And the nice part is that as time has gone on,
A lot of people have come up to me and they're like I started playing guilt to gear because of you
And I'm like oh, it's strive or something like that they're like no, Xard. I'm like fucking real what like
Like what
Go buy this game
I still even have this video
Jesus YouTube search I'll have to look it up
This is exactly what I'm looking for.
That was the title of the video.
Toxic positivity.
There it is, play this game.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was like bugging people to go play this shit, dude.
I felt that the game was being unjustly marketed, man, like, come on.
Yo, strip it next to the 58 months, man.
Barry Harvey, thanks for the YouTube dude.
Rich, thanks for the five.
Do you have any opinions on 1v1s with committed,
Jones, like, Street Fighter?
Oh, we talked about that one earlier.
Can I do you curb me thanks to the 98 months?
Was there anything else that wanted to what about the goddamn street fighter news kill your friends kill for a
Street fighter
Kill your friends
feel free.
Or was it not on?
Okay.
So I think we have to check this out because this is a follow-up as a reminder, the whole point
of this conversation was that Capcom Cup this year is likely something that I won't
able to enjoy with you guys or watch because it was going paper view at the choice of a
Capcom Japan esports division, which was always a weird decision and it was also a decision
that sort of confused the Capcom 3 fighter developers and they didn't seem to necessarily
like it very much either. So Capcom Cup this year is or was gatecapped by like a price point,
Like a Japanese price point, paper view, and we would not be able to re-stream it.
Which sucks because we've been re-streaming Capcom cup and enjoying this event with people
for like God knows how long, like 10 to 14 years or some wild shit since 2014.
So anyway, that's a bummer. It looks like there's a statement from the Capcom cup folks
and like the esports side, so I don't know what the heck they're going to say about this. Apparently
it is good news. So yeah, before they apologized, there was an apology before about this
and then they didn't change anything. And it was like, dude, what the hell? They're apologizing
that we're doing this and it's like, sorry, we're still doing it. What the what? So I didn't,
there was no need to make a follow up video about it because nothing was changing. So maybe this
means something actually is changing.
And that day to regarding the revised pricing,
in the past.
Is there any apologies or taking the time to make this announcement?
Okay.
All right.
I guess they even got, I'm assuming that they even got pushed back from Capcom from
like Japan, or the majority of this audience is going to be watching from.
I'm assuming there was already a push back over there.
Like I know, live show you.
That live viewing for this event would be taken to be carefully reviewed the many
options and feedback you receive from the community.
in thorough discussion across various departments within Capcom. Oh, wow. There was a
wow
the devs got involved. Capcom in, so again, as a reminder, Capcom eSports from
the U.S. side to the Japanese side is different, right?
That they do not operate on the same like wavelength, much less,
So they communicate that much like the eSports divisions of this stuff do not work directly with the people that are like making the games, you know?
So it sounds like there was like an all-hands-on-deck meeting.
This is now affecting like eSports is a marketing tool to sell more copies of the game.
This could be having an effect on the game in some way, which is not good.
provides the pricing of live viewing tickets.
Special collaborative incentives within Street Fighter.
Oh, okay.
Oh, so now they're making it.
There's actual in-game involvement.
Okay.
Regarding the new pricing for live viewing tickets.
But the time of the initial announcement,
announcement, pricing was set based on the domestic Japanese benchmark of Street Fighter
League, single day viewing ticket, which was 4,000 yen, after reviewing the price
structure and cost of living set is across a wide range of global content, oh, so they're
not talking about just themselves anymore. This is outside the bubble. This has reached
outside the normal Japanese bubble, okay? We re-evaluate the pricing to ensure that fans
around the world can really enjoy the event. The result, yes, unified prices for both
Japanese thing that's like us. So you tell me I went from 4,000 yen to 1500. So it's about
10 bucks. I mean, my dude, that's better. But I mean, that's a huge discount based on what it was
before, but the vast majority of people are not going to be spending money. Like casual
players will not be spending money to watch competitive fighting games. People that
are into this shit well, but still the Capcom Cup Finals rebroadcasts will be available
on YouTube in Twitch as follows.
Let me watch more.
Take it to be available for purchase studies today.
For the three days of the Capcom Cup 12 group stage matches from March 11 to March 13,
Coach streaming is allowed, okay.
No application needed, okay.
That's what it says behind my face.
Wednesday to Friday.
Originally planned as a free broadcast on Kakar's
official YouTube and Twitch channel,
Zulaz Day, one of the street fighter league World Championships of 2025
qualifiers, making a special change.
of all the global street traffic community to enjoy the tournament in as many ways as possible.
We will permit unrestricted coast streaming for anyone during this period.
Okay.
Furthermore, the season will once again collaborate with our regional partners in China.
Wait a minute, that doesn't include finals.
Yes, what I said that earlier.
So it's the lead-up days and not the actual big event.
I mean, I hate to break through them, but historically most people don't tune in to the days before.
People are there for top eight, right?
Maybe top 16? People are there for the finals day.
Like, I get it a lot of people watch football and the season and the championships
that lead up to the Super Bowl, but a very large majority watch just the Super Bowl.
This is the first official last one.
Nice to introduce the collaboration.
Though this is neat that they're actually working with the developers now to do stuff
that's in-game.
What about?
In the background, the one you can see is the first one.
This is the main feature of the game.
This is the first one.
This is the first one.
There's an example of the second one.
What is the first one?
The second one is the first one.
This is the first one.
This is the first one.
This is the first one.
This is the first one.
This is the first one.
the battle hub. Oh, oh shit, okay. Wow. So shout out to Matsamoto and the developers
had to be for Street Fighter, like they got involved and they're like, all right, so we're
doing shit now. Deb stepped in. That is different. Currently, our development team and
and Esports team are working closely together.
Okay, this is probably, this is probably all,
if we don't get the changes that we're sort of looking for now
because plans are already set in place,
this means that the future could get better, right?
This means that next year we might not be in a
such a similar situation where this kind of sucks,
it seems like things aren't changing that much right now.
Like you're still gonna have to pay 10 bucks to watch this shit,
you know, and you can't restrain it.
So, but behind the scenes, now it's like,
oh, this had an impact on the game.
Okay, this is not good.
We have to change this.
This is probably a necessary growing pain,
but the game is going through right now.
Yeah, I almost feel bad for the devs
that Street Fighter is getting thrown under the bus
for making these decisions.
And it wasn't the Street Fighter team
that did this dude, like they admitted it on Twitter.
They're like, ah, we didn't do this.
We didn't have meetings and they did.
Hering features that a lot of players enjoy watching the tournament
from within the game, so that's all that's just they're doing.
That's why they're testing Twitch streaming in the battle hub right now.
Okay, that makes sense.
That's why they're going through an entire like Twitch streaming beta in the battle hub.
Dude, I thought they were going to put streamers on that ship.
There is just randomly somebody's stream was going to show up.
I thought that's what they were doing.
Where it's like accepted content creators are going to be put into the battle hub,
but I'm like, that's really risky.
Dude, what if like, you just drop some nasty F bomb?
Hmm.
I'm March 14th at the Capcom Cup finals.
The March 15th, the Street Fighter League World Champion should 2025 finals, but you just
knew the implemented Battle Hub lies from the future down.
Jesus, are we saying that in like the last few months they had to design an implement,
a battle hub stream viewing feature into the game, because the ship was so weird, that's
pretty nuts. They designed and changed the way the battle hub works. Instead of it
just playing video, it was just playing video before, like MP4's. Now it's actually
playing stream like live stream footage. They've always had ads and shit, but that's
not a live broadcast implementation, man. That's a big difference.
There are some limitations regarding the viewing content, and points of attention by using
the Battle Home Blistering Future Uh-Oh.
Quality of the stream may drop, trial, rewind and archive.
Rewind during live broadcast replay after the broadcast archive viewing features are not
supported no commentary. No no commentary from analysts and MCs will not be streamed.
Due to server capacity limits, you may be unable to enter the battle hub and view tournament footage.
Wow. Wow, okay.
I'm sorry, but the game is not going to be a little bit too long. This is really cool, by the way.
Like straight up, if streams provided, like I get it,
you don't want whatever some commentators
are saying in the moment of streaming a game
to be representative of the game.
Like if somebody says some shit,
like somebody can be like,
somebody can say something wild and uncontrollable.
Somebody can also jump in and say shit on a mic
and if that shit is being presented in the game,
It's like the game approved that shit to be said.
So I can understand why they want zero commentary.
There is no microphone up anything.
It is just the game.
The game is being shown.
It's just being played.
You know what I mean?
So that's extremely risky.
The switch to version does not support it.
And co-streaming is not possible.
I mean, that makes sense.
Right?
That makes sense.
The code streaming is not possible.
Here's the thing.
All this is cool.
It doesn't fix the problem.
It makes me hopeful that this can actually lead to a cooler,
much more efficient relationship with Capcom eSports stuff
as well as game functionality for the future.
Like, I think the biggest telling sign is that
that if they do this again next year,
then we're truly cooked.
Like there's no fixing this shit.
It's already cooked this year, man.
Like if there's trailers or cool stuff
that we're going to have to wait for,
we're going to have to wait.
I'm just going to have to do this like not be there in the moment.
That sucks.
That's still genuinely sucks, but it's like
this functionality and relationship with esports shit
is very cool.
You know, this is actually very cool.
It's just...
So if the charge you to watch it man, unless you get into a battle hug, and they're
giving in-game rewards.
Okay, so they're actually trying to make it worth it.
That's it.
I mean, it's a Rashid costume, you're either into it or you're not.
But this comes across as like, all right, so if we have the ability to add something
to the game of actual value for you spending money, then what do we do? Can we add a color?
Yeah, it's a color. It's about as like, it's something, but it isn't necessarily like
massive. It's a color. It's something. It's literally better than nothing, right?
There, pretty much what Capcom developers seem like is happening is that we can't get around
this shit costing money. That seems like what the negotiations came to. We can't get around
it costing a premium. So how do we make the premium worth it? Well, it's make it so that people
can get into the game and actually watch it without paying the premium. And if they do pay the
premium, they do get actual legit in-game rewards. That was not happening before. You weren't
getting shit. You got to watch it. That was it. So it's like, okay. All right. Is it worth it? No.
You know, it's gonna be worth it for the majority of us.
Like, maybe the foam of folks are gonna be like,
I want that color, but like, dude, I just wanna watch it.
I just wanna watch it without there being issues.
Like, let's get the whole new state,
send it to the North, that's their goal.
In a little bit, I think it's actually very cool
to be in the game with your lobby freaks,
like cheering on players and stuff from like a game feed in the game.
I think that's actually awesome.
If we can just have that where it doesn't cost everybody money, you know, and like re-streaming it is impossible, like what are they going to be doing, they're going to be policing streams because not everyone's paying attention to this shit, right?
People are just going to be logging in and like streaming their shit. I mean, there's a tournament on cool.
And then they're going to stream it into some cap-cop is going to strike them down.
Like this feels very weird. You might have to like accept some sort of agreement before going into the lobbies that are streaming it.
It's all of it. This feels like they're making this work by like the edge of the seat. They're trying to make it work.
Hey, wow, damn. This is a big change, Chad.
Granted, this news that's happening here right now isn't the best news. Like, it got
cheaper and they're trying to make the $10 premium of value in some way. You know, okay,
the effort is appreciated, but we're still unable to watch it with each other.
We're still unable to like rebroadcast it, which we've always been able to do.
But this is actual reform. This is actual like, okay, we cannot be operating
on different wavelengths. Like this doesn't work anymore. It's Street Fighter VI is too big.
The esports side is too big. We cannot just be doing our own things and not communicating.
So going forward, Capcom, he sports will continue to work as one company.
There you go.
This is the thing I was trying to tell people the longest time.
These dudes don't talk to each other, man.
Like, they do not communicate.
So this is good.
This means that, like, potentially the future, this shit could change.
Capcom, he sports was a story to fight on your,
the Taipei, Shino, Seicho, Dukakudai,
no Tamei.
Hey, you know what that means?
The actual best thing that could happen as a result of this,
eSports packages. Straight up, like design shit in game, design new stuff that you can put into the game,
the same way the Street Fighter V did, where you can make a bunch of content and bullshit that you can add to the game colors and little things,
and it will help fund the eSports side of it. So we do not have to no longer pay for this shit.
Hey, the thing that is historically worked, hey, you know, and we can actually restream it, and it's on a problem.
Hey, maybe that's the thing that can actually move forward and have these dudes communicate and it could work out, you know
I can contribute to the development of the eSports ecosystem as a whole. Sure
Why did that stop because Street Fighter 5 eSports didn't really exist like it was a round
to a certain degree, but then when Street Fighter 6 started happening, Street Fighter 6 was like much bigger.
And there's a much more sizable e-sports and competitive aspect to Street Fighter 6, like way more.
There was some at the end of Street Fighter 5, but like this got so big, so fast, that completely different people were like operating
creating the shit, especially in Japan, where like the esports side of Street Fighter is way big of them, Street Fighter 5 dude.
So, again, there was a disconnect because things got too big too quick and now they're reconnecting them.
Now it's like, all right, so in what way can we actually have this work out of the future? Again, I'm bummed, I think this sucks,
moving for Capcom Cup because I'm just not going to be able to watch with anybody. And I'm not,
Well, I'm not really interested in watching Capcom Cup without watching it with people, dude.
So I hope it means for the future that that is the number one thing.
The number one most important thing is that the next Capcom Cup can we actually enjoy this
with each other without it being a huge problem.
Even if we have to log into the game and watch it from then game, I'm fine with that, man.
Just let us restream it.
And yeah, okay. So also, also, ending on this note, they know they fucked up. Like, from from the development side not communicating with this side, it's almost like a direct acknowledgement that we really fucked up. Like, that is our bad. So again, this is this is the thing. We're not getting exactly what we want right now because that much change happening in me.
is going to be nearly impossible.
But there needs to be healing.
There needs to be a way that we can move forward,
and this can actually help both sides,
like maybe we can help both sides,
and they can work together in a way that
we don't get screwed over as fans from a global perspective.
And we also can contribute and help support
this stuff that we can still enjoy this the way we did before.
So again, this is somewhat,
somewhat it was it was very uncharacteristic of Capcom to do something like this straight up
because once again it was the esports side that was doing this thing and the fact that like
the Capcom devs themselves jumped in and were like, oh shit okay maybe we should actually do
something about this. Maybe this has gotten a bit too big. I appreciate that. We're not getting
what we want right now. We're not going to be able to see the levels of that appreciation
potentially until the next Capcom cup, but the fact that they're listening and they're trying
to do shit, it's a start, okay?
To be real, if this leads to sick ass tournament integration
in Street Fighter 6 as a game where people are hanging out
to watch like a raw feed of evil matches,
like big Street Fighter League events in shit,
from in-game, that is cool, dude.
Like that is legit, that is legit, awesome.
That kids from people buying weird, weird costume bullshit,
as well.
Like this is neat, fighting games don't have this, man.
Like the closest we got was virtual fighter
where like, you know, the lobby has the ability to play replays and stuff, that's the
future. That could be where this could actually, this could be a growth process that
makes the game even better moving forward. And then also makes other Capcom fighting games,
maybe support the same thing in the future. Hey, how about that? Could be good, you know?
Anyway, PS home all over again, dude Street Fighter practically already has that, like Street
Fighter 6 practically is PlayStation home in its lobbies. Instead, you don't have a little house
And I wouldn't be surprised if that happens later.
Here's your little house.
Yeah, it's better news, but it's not the best news.
It's all the boils down to it's better, but it's not like fixed.
and
if she sees poverty for a reason. Oh yeah, you ain't wrong.
We all agree right now watching in this format, right? I would encourage you probably not to.
Like, yeah, I do not. I would encourage you probably not to invest into this shit, man.
Like, who is? Like, seriously, how many people outside of like,
extremely hardcore, extremely hardcore competitive dudes are really going to be
invested into this. Not many. Ten bucks for a paper view event like, like, dude, it
was $40 before. It was like 30 to 40 bucks before. And still, like, dude, even if it was
five bucks, it doesn't matter. It's like,
able to watch tournaments, bro, like,
like, it isn't even the fact that even if it is a dollar,
it doesn't even matter.
It's more like, dude, like,
it's the moreality of it.
It's the fucking principle.
Like, it's a tournament.
We're so, we are watching your tournament
to have eyes watch the ads that are at the tournament.
and the products that you're showing us, you know?
Like we are giving you the viewership so that you can tell us to put crazy
visey in our eyes that burns everybody's eyes and shit.
Rotosy man exists because we're watching.
So, I don't get it.
Like we are watching these advertisements helping pay for shit.
That it doesn't make any sense. It's axe backwards.
And now we're having to pay the entry fee to watch the ads.
What?
It's mental for my fucking eyes, dude.
Anyway, please think of the corporate overlords.
I usually don't.
Anyway, fun stuff, play this SpongeBob eyes clip, oh well, feel a little bit of taken.
It's already 220 in the morning.
Well, fuck, I started late.
Big Yappen.
Pop on DMC for a bro.
The price of the app and you'll launch in a photo, thank you, 100, appreciate it,
for a blurred strip and next again, man.
You'll attack and doesn't go paper view on attorneys, I don't think tech and eSports division
is big enough.
Street Fighter eSports got too big, in Japan, it just got too big too fast, and they
I started like, we could charge for this.
The charge for it.
The, the viewership on, on tech and esports stuff
just isn't high enough, but the viewership in Japan,
on Street Fighter Esports ship,
will make your fucking head spin, dude.
the
best of a year ahead
what is this season three pass down available
the
2nd 8, 5 fast round 8, well this is good, what the hell are there's glasses, get the
This is Sephiroth here before it's done.

Okay.

So no part two to the R6 stream with with Tiff when we're both available to
Stream it. Yeah, there's been a lot of shit happening this week. I haven't been able to play Resident Evil 6 yet
It's like five in the morning where Tiff's at right now. I can't just like tell it a jump on stream
When both our schedule will skylight in a way that allows to fire it up again. I'll fire it up again and hope I don't throw up
I remind you last time I played that game. I almost threw up
up, so I'm not exactly the most excited to jump back into it, but I'll try, I want
to do actually vomit, camera that game is actually that bad, yeah I got the mod, I'm
going to install it, I'm going to install the mod, we'll see how it is.

9th, that's right, just when you punch berries in the chair.
Take it.
Just three subockeys, flies. Never touch her. Don't touch her.
That's the way to the plan. Don't touch her. She's not touchable.
Flouchable.
This is a problem with like Brian and Oscar. Don't talk to me.
They're not never allowed to punch.

whoo
oh it tracks to the right
he's quite
Okay.
Next.
My opportunity.
Ah ha! Straight up.
I don't think I might wake up options.
Um, I don't know how to get off the ground and roll without attacking.
Right?
Science.
Yeah.
There.
Right?
Oh my god, the sights have picked my ass.
The practice I won is press one or down one.
Hold one for you to roll, okay.
Hold one for you.
Dammit.
Yeah, delay will wake up.
Yeah.
One or three.
No delay will.
It's not it.
One or three.
You guys not it.
It's a long one, Joe.
Like if I don't want to stay on the ground,
want to stay on the ground and then move into camera away from camera and then you can
remain on the ground. It's hold one or three. Okay, I'm gonna get knocked down so I can try it.
As you always can mash it, right? The natural reaction is to mash one or three for like left
roll, right roll. I want to stay down and just move my body.
I'm gonna wait to be down, don't mash down state, yeah.
ship
ship
ship
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, my God, I need to slide something.
It's a bit of sale in the grass, and it's exactly what I mean, is that like pressing the button was getting me up. I don't want to get up
People are like
The most usual get-up options is one in three right mash one in three and people are just anticipating it
So I know the toe tap. I know the flip kick. I know the wake-up kick. I just like how the point where you stay on the ground
And I have it now
Add some
Interesting arsenal
Shush.
I didn't know Dan is real.
I'm gonna be in this.

Oh god, I'm just running in the launchers.
Isn't that a, isn't that a, isn't that an unpunished of a launcher?
For one close to, unpunished of a launcher?
1st is safe holy shit
of
Wow, Oscar.
Fucking nightmare.
I thought it was a counterhead, but I thought it was a counterhead, but I thought it was a
counterhead only launcher. It's not.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Oh, coins. Nice.
Yeah, she does one plus two. It's pretty much the exact same move that Lars has.
But it's an unpunishable launcher. That's crazy
She just has a oh, oh shit. She just has a
Launching mid close range that doesn't encounter it
I'd like to have that
I can't see it.
I can't see it.
R's.
Okay.
Okay.
Fee.
Plus range arc blast.
Doesn't need counter hit is safe.
She has this.
And people have been dealing with that.
It's way slower, isn't it?
So like we've punishing seems to be the goal.
Let's run my brain as going.
It's like the ideal situation is to whip on a shirt,
it's to wait for her to commit and then hit her.
Oh my god.
Oh, I didn't pack that to avoid it.
Oh, oh, she's got a second one.
Sweet, okay.
Fine. Oh my god.
Jesus.
Oh my god.
the
only nipples
and the nipples
the best way to talk about the largest of the power crush sucks
it's got his one plus two's got shitty start up and it's okay
It's okay.
But I'm like I played a couple characters that had really, I mean, it's not as bad as like jins.
I guess.
Yeah, I guess it's okay.
It's fine.
Yeah, I did a power crush.
Power crush should all be like minus 13 at least, right?
At the very least, and if they're really fast, it should be minus 14.
On some characters.
and
I should all be unsafe and I love I think even better than 10 frame punishes
Especially if they're dead. Yeah, that's shit holy shit
Now, I learned a lot about Oscar in that fight
you pretty much have to just wait for wait for her to do do something commit to something and then just go ham
let her hang herself a little bit
Great power crushes are genuine on the start team.
Round the down.
Something won't shared.
Ah!
Yeah!
Ah!
Ah!
Shit!

I'm letting you get a load of it.
I've been at one one one.
FIGHT!
Fine, fight!
to be a good addition to the game she was a bad
was bad I just want a different skin I just want an actual true over skin right
Trying to get a true ogre like costume?
Round one.
I'm sorry.
Oh wow.
Isn't it one plus two, bro?
the same thing three times in a row.
Round two, fight.
Lish, that sweep is actually that unsafe.
Haha, this is so goofy.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Fine.
Well, how?
I'm not even back in.
This is a little low, man.
the
target against it
You're not getting what they say redraw bun and petty a practice that you just have to play the game for like a thousand hours
That's it.
That's it.
That'll take just as long for you to figure out how not just to know what you're opponent
in doing, but then what you should be doing, just takes a long time.
Just need about a thousand hours of playtime.
My experiment has been in the entirety of me playing this game in a ranked experience.
Can you play this shit based on field?
Right?
Can I actually rank up in tech and without no life in it?
Can I get to a point where I don't practice any, God damn, matchups or anything?
Or know anything about anyone?
And see how far it gets me.
I legit think my conclusion so far is that you kind of fucking can.
You're not going to be able to beat the best in the game with it.
But dude, you can that shit in this game.
I think I feel like the game is designed.
Or it can take you very far.
Really far.
Like legit. I think it's bi-design.
He's gonna die.
He's gonna die.

So that's a launcher as if that's like her hot dick.

Yeah, such a track of my whole playlist I like my whole play this more
This thing the music is better
If I write, no, I don't, I'm just remembering the buttons.
Is there the honest, large, gambling, no-one love?
Bitch, I still get told that by several people, that my fucking large is too honest.
And I'm like, I'm getting pissed.
We're getting pissed that I'm not taking advantage
of obvious advantages.
Back and make my opponents frustrated and or mad.
And I'm like, I don't want to be that way.
Yeah, watch just this solitude.
I'm going to go back and watch how Fee grinded his way to G-O-D
by just doing then one, one, one, one for some shit.
Like...
I didn't know...
Then was on back for it, then one.
What was that? Is that it?
Was that what I'm just dumping else with that?
Yeah, if I'm being the honest Lars, then Jesus Christ,
what does dishonesty look like?
Yeah, we got up to God one like that's what any character is that
God
I don't need stuff
I'm about to eat stuff
Oh Jesus I got wrong sighted
and
the
yeah, grapplers in this game really fuck the people because the throws are so weird to break on
there's so many uh so much knowledge checking after due
or so much knowledge checking that's available with throws in this one more than ever before it feels like
it's hard
Wow, two, one.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Our love's low, it's this one of his best traits.
Hey!

Well, he's chat talking about pain.
What else is there?
Can't ready for the next battle.
Yeah, she means combo damage with the same super high.
That's the combo of a that shit.
fighting games are something pain. It's from Tukito.
Oh, I don't think it's in here. The matchmaking settings only show up for
are uh... a lobby matches
as long as what's as fast as lunch of this

they only get the normal cue
they play this piece of shit as character
against me
He's got it for me!
I understand one chance.
Oh fuck me.
So scared.
No, no. I'm only blocking low. Forever. Forever. I refuse to ever block eyes.
What is this?
Bitch.
Bitch.
Oh my god.
No
Holy shit
Nice
Man, why is he playing some dishonest lars on what's going on here? Why does he look like me? He's playing dishonest lars at the sign
It's just fine.

I don't know if I can do that.
I don't know if I can do that.
I tried to attack it.
you can't do it
yeah
Oh my god, that was the weirdest pod damage interaction.
to the
the weirdest interaction all he's
should
time is it
turned a lunge
that grab is neat
because it's a
wallship to get guaranteed wall can you actually search from here and know you can

Especially because it's like regionally based and also like ranked based.
Hey, I got lucky.
It's a little thick. It takes a little while to find matches.
I don't know if you like the rank but the rank reset coming up like I got to play more.
That's insane.
That's insane.
I'm completely caught aside, so I gotta be happy we have a ducker.
The professional duck is...
I'm gonna duck her.
Oh my god, what the shit?
There was unexpected thing in the world.
Oh, we have a professional ducker.
Okay.
Mother ducker.

she does but it's always a roll at its own so it's telegraphed
okay yeah it was inductive mid I was like oh full shit

As I answered, AOP is down to with the right timing, I don't even know what it looks like.
Also decides to have all running 3 but scary.
Mesh.
You don't know what I hope you'll work out.
I don't know what I hope he stands for.
Okay. Same guy.
I got you in punishments, uh, zero.
Yeah, same guy.
Oh, that was f**k it.
Give it up.
Oh, wow, I jumped over shit.
Yeah, it's super every time here in the low-health.
Well, I gotta remember, I can't do any other entry-movics up one in the end there.
I can't believe that beat running the one, but beat running one, only shit.
and
only shed
holy shed
she's either doing launchers or eat smashes, right?
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
That's insane that it's reaching that high up.
Oh my god, that sidetrack looks broken, and me brother.
Oh, wow. Okay, she was like, I'm dead.
Thanks, we call it.
It's price.
Jesus Christ, I didn't realize you also had like a raw snake edge, you know?
She just has like a big slow, low launcher.
but you also have to really keep an eye out for it.

Got damn.
We have to move and then when we're right into Super, how's it going to go?
Sucks.
That sucks.
We're going to risk everything, you know?
That's the thing that I need to be able to do your willing to do.
I'm playing a way to save like looking for moves and shit.
I think it back into rank mentality, which is so much different.
That's what they're willing to like do shit.
It's not looking for shit.
That's the thing I forget about playing Rank in this game.
this game, you got to be willing to full send. Very little time to learn.

I can't talk this guy as the smartest person ever.
Oh, I probably do a jumping kick.
I can't tell.
Is this person the smartest person ever or the smartest person ever?
I cannot get an idea of how the hell people play.
Possibly to get a read, which is why you just have to run your fucking offense, right?
Why you just literally run your goddamn offense?
We literally don't think about shit.
Sure, man.
Like, think about that hop. Think about what he's doing, not just running with the fucking offense.
Oh my god.
Don't jump.
I don't know, man. I don't know how to sort it out. What are people doing?
Sorry.
Oh my god.

Jesus

start
Great punish got damn what a punish that was the game winning hit do think I would have a it might have killed what a great punish
I thought he was really good
the
jump it never seen that yeah, I don't really
put against his area because so much as you as he doesn't really need because he doesn't feel like he needs to know punishes as much because one one two is such a good fucking punish
like that's what seems great about caz and
Um, hey, I actually have like a mid low level. Dude, they don't have to worry about
What the optimal punishes are in those situations just one-one-two twin-piston
So they're gonna work or not, you know, and
One-one-two just leads to like the ideal situation
He just wanted one-one-two and friends started
the
kept ready for the next battle this guy again
what

fight
don't want to get to me
here we go again
That was insane cat. I
Didn't even do this

This is such a
A completely dynamic difficulty compared to what I was just doing
the
the
oh my god out of this beat shoot
I'm dead.
Chase is surprised, I'm dead.
Oh my god.
Oh, is this object literally 15 frames?
Okay.
That makes sense.
Try to walk in, though.
I'm trying to learn, which is not smart.
What?
What do you say?
Oh my god.
of
the
Oh, I'm facing no aggression.
It's like
My god dude out of that whip
Damn brother got on it one two wasn't working there
This is the problem that is that I should be winning these sets without like losing a
Okay.
5-2.
Okay.
Who's in a way?
Oh my god, nice dog.
the
one
no, what punish him?
punish up kick and get put on block, right, unblocked.
I'm going to try to get in a mine space where I'm going to try to punish it.
Yeah, it's trying to...
I'm like, the issue is, I try to, like, get in a mine space
where I'm going to try to punish it. I always lose.
Every single fucking time.
In these ranks, dude, if I get into a mental space,
where I'm going to wait and punish, I end up losing.
the
which makes it tough when it's like I like playing tech in that way
like against the cause of your player that felt good as I was like playing back and forth
and
Hey, here we go.
Let's meet just these two guys
Let's go
I stopped.
Oh, no. I'm boring.
Oh my god, no way.
That's still okay. Someone cazz has really good with you back to the wall, because

Thank you feels bad for me
Is he apologizing for the connection?
Okay, I think he gave me the round on the connection
I think that's what it was.
I think he felt bad. That's pretty honorable. That's very honorable.
Oh my god, I beat my back one.
The tough part is determining when do I have to play like a stupid idiot and when do I have to play Tekken?
Yeah, I'm mad respect.
I don't want to attack him while all the crazy bullshit was happening, and even want to do it to me either.
There comes the weirdos!

Oh, wow, okay.
Goddamn it, game!
Still right, plan.
Uh, I'm sitting in the tube.

And season three they'll give it a lars in the install.
Yeah, if you give them some bullshit, like it's like his hair, right?
Like, give me some little logo.
I have to fill up six hairs to go supersaner some shit, right?
Like, six little hair symbols.
And when you get six, you get blue hair.
I don't fucking know man, come on.

god damn it reached
I'm crazy to sidestep on two one. That's really smart.
I think he's just doing it and not going to punch for it though.
Yeah, he went for Super. Okay, that's what I got to remind myself.
If these dudes are doing supers at low health,
that entry into one beats it.
It beats wake-up super.
But if I do the low or anything else it loses.
So it's actually like a bait.
It's a bait, like do the super.
You see me in stance?
Do super.
I have to do this into one.
Right here.
That beats super.
Okay.
All right.
Needle is hate frame sack of a brave Jar. Yeah, okay

I'm sorry.
Oh my god.
That's insane man, what a call.
Do that beat the crowd.
What a call.
to
is like a thing to know this guy is a
meeting me with the character is out playing the shit out of me he knows everything I want to do
is that teaching anything new as wars
he's a super familiar with the game
is this got more time than
his buttons are incredible
Windows window press
There's really no time to press
Clock dude, that's crazy
What happens now?
the
very good
thank you
Oh, I thought I had the counter for that.
It's very tough man. It's tough and people not timing a second man. It's hard to deal with it.
Dude, you just could.
They just see shit and they know exactly what happens next, you know?
They're super familiar with the game.
Okay, thanks for the Prime.
It's got to be about that just like wait for you to do shit, you know?
Because they're familiar enough, they're just comfortable.
that's what I like about tech and I do this experience actually shows, you know,
like legit experience shows. That's what I think about this game. You can really tell
like if people are good, dude, I can tell when people are good in this game just by life
when they are pressing buttons. It's like, well fuck, here we go.
the
this level against one to watch it is not
the
the high level of tech and it is very fun to watch
the character knowledge is massive this game
like if you thought knowledge checking was a bad thing in previous tech and games this
committed to it 150% like it's a huge part of the game.
That's a part of the game though.

As far as the stand character,
it's pretty much the stands character.
It's the premier Tekken 8 stands character.
and
I think the toughest thing when you run into like higher ranks against people and they're good dude
um... they don't take anything. It's it's crazy dude
like so much of it is just like setting up and taking bait
and nobody takes any bait. No no spacing bait. They don't get whipped on it. It's like fuck

the
this was watching your ass like a hot
