I 13 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.879 know I'm doing all right. So just ready to talk about some some video 14 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:48.040 games this week? Yeah, yeah, I am ready to talk about some 15 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.640 games. I haven't had too much time to put some time into a lot, 16 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.719 but I got some stuff to talk about, all right. But I 17 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:04.400 think we'll let our special guest Tats you know, Lee the Softcats lately honestly, 18 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.960 not a lot. But I've been on like this weird retro fighting game 19 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.960 bingch as of last month. Okay, I've been playing a lot of rand 20 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:23.520 random old fighters in fight King, mostly like roos. Uh nice that that 21 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:32.840 dad was well man? Uh I was so managed to emulate Bassara X on 22 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.840 my phone of all things. Oh really think that game? Yeah, of 23 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:45.800 course, yeah game game that was um yeah, it was a catcom title 24 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:51.840 that was made by artsis Yeah, which is really surprising, surprising for me 25 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.159 my first launch. He said, Hey, they did collect one time, 26 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.800 and I can see why I never did it ever again. Access so broken. 27 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.680 But the game feel really nice to play, funny enough, like it 28 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.280 feels good to do something's very familiar as well as if you're like a fan 29 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.000 of Blaze Blue Guilty Year game, it feels familiar to to to me at 30 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.439 least. But god damn that game does not have bricks. It just goes 31 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.080 Yeah, I don't I don't have much found in itself. Yep, Like 32 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:35.000 if you can find a way to get it, it might be funny everybody 33 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.639 to play with you. I don't, so I just kind of lap stuff 34 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.360 and yeah, like get it gets broken really quickly, I have to use 35 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.000 Yeah, And the funny thing that I found out is that why we don't 36 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.759 get a bigger but Sarah like Niche Communige going was the game is not emulator 37 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.919 possible in a way because the game only existed on the case and there's a 38 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:10.000 somewhat revised version for the PS two and the hoghway they were running on is 39 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.800 impossible to emitate on PC. That's why we don't get it on fight K. 40 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:20.160 So class sucks. I can't play. Other people didn't Hope till didn't 41 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.720 Hope till No. Ken run into a similar issue as well, Like I 42 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.600 know there was a PS two port way back when, um, but it 43 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.439 was also arcade and everything, and I think they finally got it to where 44 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.199 it plays on fight K, but it was more the Dreamcast version or something 45 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.920 like that. Yeah, something like that, because he's still running off the 46 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.800 flight Cast simulator for hookin. Yeah, and he run a pretty well like 47 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.480 it works randomly bricks here and it's kind of like CBS two on non Fight 48 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.519 Kid sometimes where he just randomly bricks. Yeah. Speaking of busted fighting games, 49 00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:00.120 hoped on oken Oh we have a guy and telas see stands that game 50 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:08.040 like I stand Malcolm games as wild. Yeah, well like, oh, 51 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.759 I don't know Kansas like twice this guy's age. Hey look and I was 52 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.600 like why, like what what part of your like short life? You decided, 53 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.360 Yeah, this is the game I need to get behind. Yeah, 54 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.720 Toki in Finish my Gem stuff right, Oh, like no, I can. 55 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.240 I can see the appeal and the white people still play despite being so 56 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:41.519 comically broken. But it's also like after getting into like like the meme stuff, 57 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.639 so the infinish and stuff like that, right, like Ryan Toky, 58 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.959 good, lord, how do you how do the players do we mend everything? 59 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.199 A links? That all links, there's no cancels, all links. 60 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.800 It's really tight. Yeah, like every jet, that jet, it's a 61 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.120 link. And they almost wanted from more of the time. Yeah, I 62 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.800 don't know how player's doing. It is hot. It's actually a really hot 63 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.040 game, guys. Yeah, it's there's actually a pretty good like execution like 64 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.879 Barrier. That's what that game is. Actually mad. I'm legitimately mad about 65 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:21.000 that and people that game is people spend time trying to get good at this 66 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:31.120 game. Yeah yeah, and like rey, uh what are the dribble in 67 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.480 Finnis? Those are links. Yeah, those are not easy. And to 68 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.720 get to a point where you can start dribbling, you have to break break 69 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.120 the combo floor with here by just doing a really long combo at first, 70 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.319 then your transition into it. So now how are you guys doing all this? 71 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.040 And it's funny too, because like the way it works is like the 72 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.959 higher the combo count is, the higher like the character will bounce off the 73 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.720 ground and everything, so like that like some funny stuff that they just have 74 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:06.720 in that game. This is like it's just hysterically comically just like bad, 75 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:14.000 but like it's just so funny and like so fun to watch these long ass 76 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.959 infinite combos. And the way they do him is like this is like how 77 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.000 does this even? The thing? Like this is definitely before like Q and 78 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:28.000 A and balancing change changes were like well before then oh let's speaking of balance. 79 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.279 This is reading significant by his worth mentioning there's a character name missed the 80 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:39.360 Hart in the game. He's like this pretty giant fat OBEs guy. Yeah, 81 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:45.639 he's the worst character playing the game, but him on player two side 82 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.120 is slightly worse than him on him on player one side. Yeah, there's 83 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:55.600 sometimes there for some reason. So so so it's kind of cute he had. 84 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.800 Yeah, And sometimes it's like that, Like sometimes there's like weird things 85 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.480 where um, a certain character on player two side is like worse or better 86 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.600 and stuff like that. I don't like, it's I don't know how that 87 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.519 happens. There's something like that recently Multi Blood type Lumina Mario Mario was the 88 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.560 same way. Mario was better on player one side than it was player two 89 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.439 side. I thought this would be like a legacy thing. But what Yeah, 90 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.680 certain games where that happens, I think, I want to say the 91 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.120 same thing. But was also some of the like Marvel three, but I 92 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:37.399 can't remember. In Strive, Bikon has a mix up where on player one 93 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.919 side it'll cross up in the corner, but on player two side it will 94 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:48.519 not. Yeah, yeah, it's true, all right, don't I don't 95 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.440 know how that funding games are weird, man, Like they're just a name 96 00:08:52.480 --> 00:09:00.320 morphous blob of like mechanics that don't make sense. Uh, that's a sad 97 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.320 way to JoJo's home. All you've been playing Jojo as well. So here's 98 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.159 the thing. I don't know what is a Jojo before this. It's like 99 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.240 I just know the memes, the deos, the time stuffs, the deos 100 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.799 mostly the deals. So I no, no, I have no context on 101 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.840 what's everything. But I have two friends who are like JoJo's dance, and 102 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.480 I randomly told them. One the guys like five kid has like heritage for 103 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.720 the futures like that old that old Jojo game has like really broken like contract 104 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:35.600 and Jojo let's go. So that's the right. Yep, you all picked 105 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:43.000 up the game and it got it went south pretty quickly because now comin matter 106 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.879 friends like an Abdomain and my other friends are the normal diomin so we're all 107 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.879 like trying to get good for some reason. H And after like a week, 108 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.159 I just casually beating up each other. But like I just went like, 109 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.919 hey, why why does this character does this thing? Then it's like 110 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.840 do you really want to know? Usually watch the show, so I did. 111 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:16.440 So now also gotcha okay, like like okay things because in the game, 112 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.960 like the caameters were doing like really odd shit. I'm like why why 113 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.720 really, like why why does this character turn turn people into a kid or 114 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.960 some some stuff like that. And I just kept asking questions, why why 115 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.360 why why jo Jo? And They're like, just watch the show, and 116 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.240 after like a week of repeating the same phrase of just watch the show and 117 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.000 I pull up Netflix and I am now everything in the finding game makes sense 118 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:50.000 to me. Now pretty funny. So once again I have no idea why, 119 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.440 but leg I say games tends to be railing kV and Toyo is no 120 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.799 different except you have to add negative ating into the game. M Like, 121 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.080 it's almost as if everyone is at all from guilty here. But it makes 122 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:11.120 sense. Yeah, but not everyone has like a stand stand like some of 123 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.720 them has like weapons for stand, so they're more like stands change characters, 124 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.200 like like one guy named Chaka, he has a sword like he starts with 125 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.960 the sword seef like, then you can press the stand button to take the 126 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.240 sword out and now he's like a record based character. Before they're just like 127 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:37.120 a poking zony sony guy. It's different like per character. But if you 128 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:43.600 do have like a stand stand, you can do like coralso go back as 129 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.120 and during the super flash you can input like a like a diesel amount buttons 130 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.039 and then the stand will do whatever you press out the words, so you 131 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.320 can't like program like programming the stand to do something, and then you have 132 00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.360 free for movement after that do whatever you want. People use this to stand 133 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.120 with you, and it's really annoying, but it seems to be like the 134 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.360 metal of the game, like if you ever stand, you're probably at least 135 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:16.919 above average. And as for combos, again that the pretty link hevy as 136 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.240 well as like standing like goes into standing heavy is like cut tree frame link 137 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.039 something like that. Thinking is special, They're going to stand and then yeah, 138 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:33.440 combo. Sometimes it is infinite. Sometimes it doesn't, however, because 139 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.360 like whenever I think of links, I think of Street four and the Street 140 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.360 the four links are fairly easy, yeah, whereas I didn't think links used 141 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.799 to exist in order legacy games until I realized, oh they do. They're 142 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.720 just really really hard yep. But like links and Shie Fight the Fall, 143 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.480 despite being one frame, you you can still kind of because there's plinking right 144 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.159 play like yeah back, yeah, so it's kind of easier. But these 145 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.759 old games are all rolling, so you just and the worst part you just 146 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.679 need to know. Nothing in the game tells you that these links into this. 147 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.039 You just had to know, and which back to the question, how 148 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:20.720 do people back then found all these out? Yeah? Finding stuff out for 149 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.679 older games a lot harder. Yeah, and how just how how do people 150 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.080 know and how are these games so optimized today? Easy? Because like it's 151 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.120 already been so long that people have played the shit out there. I mean 152 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.679 yeah, I mean you get people that's played these games forever and stuff like 153 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.440 that and anything, and you know it's just like anything like Super Stupid or 154 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.919 two Turbo or like yeah, like they just played the games forever and like 155 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.159 they just got Obviously they've kept playing over time, so that's why you know 156 00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:00.000 they have stayed as good as they had and stuff I got anything. Yeah. 157 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.600 I also want to mention that her this was the future. It's comparable 158 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.759 to King or Fighter of all things, because you have stuff like role you 159 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:15.559 have stuff like hops hyper hops. It's very kiofe when it comes to offense. 160 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.320 So if you have a hot button that's really oppressive, you're probably gonna 161 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:28.200 be be mixing people out of him, right. Uh. It is a 162 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.240 hard game. I still think JoJo's a game like it's hard to pick up, 163 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.080 but once once you get into like oh I actually have two characters, 164 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.759 then then it's pretty easy. I guess, like if you're used to playing 165 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.759 Zato, you're used to playing characters like Ghost played in DNF. I guess 166 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.320 that's why Jojo clicked with me so much, because I like these style characters 167 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.960 and I have a whole game that's like this. So he appealed to me 168 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.039 really quickly. And Shadow Deo plays a lot like Ghost played. Like she 169 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.919 he does like summon the stand to do like one thing and one thing only 170 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.559 like like his uniqueness sense. He doesn't have, like the recording super he 171 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.919 doesn't have like I can put my stand here and then like remote control him 172 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.840 from like a distance. He doesn't. He just iss closer to coast, 173 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.000 playing the air where you press as the goal, the stand comes out, 174 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.440 does like one punch and that's it all right. There's there's there's running normals 175 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:30.559 in his game, which is cool to me because the only game that I 176 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:37.759 played with running normals Will had a Knight. So yeah, yeah, that's 177 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.200 that's like the three games, three retro games. I've been really putting a 178 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.759 lot of time. I mean, like I did try to pick up if 179 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.960 he has two game brook so much that I can't really play it too much. 180 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.960 That's unfortunate. CBS two like is definitely like my favorite fighting game of 181 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.320 all time. I do manage to play enough to form a team though, 182 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.960 So I guess that's good. Which is is a p groove yun Chune and 183 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.960 my Okay, I thought I see that to play Chunne and Mine the same 184 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.720 team, true, yes, yes, so it's been day all alone, 185 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.559 so that's cool. I'd play mine CBS two, so I respect that. 186 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:25.960 I see My team was K Groove, Cammi, Bison, sagat it though. 187 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.679 I think those are top tiers, right, I don't know. My 188 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:40.440 CBS is really really low un is Um really qu my cherry. I'm a 189 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.840 very skavy team. Okay, yeah, you're basically okay. I guess I 190 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.720 mixed in a little bit of rock too. I played a little Rock Howard 191 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.159 in that game too, So I wish Dance and K characters were better in 192 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.240 that game. Yeah, yeah, there's yeah, I'm trying to think of 193 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.159 like really any S and K characters stood out, but to be honest, 194 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.640 it was more um yeah, yeah, it was either Segott, um Sigott, 195 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:17.759 Segott yeah, forgot Blanca, Sakara, uh, Bison in a groove. 196 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:27.279 Um yeah, I think I think Vega as well, Klaw ve Vegas 197 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.960 pretty good? Yeah, was all right, yeah, trying to think who 198 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.200 is maybe the best SINK character, like tiar wise is the best K character? 199 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.920 Followed by like the sword check from Hibiki? Yeah yeah Hibiki. Yeah, 200 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.880 I tried to pick up Hibiki, but after looking at comodities, I'm 201 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:55.079 like, why is it weird? All right? Like I see so I 202 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:04.200 just did it? Like why why is running like almost or Pretzel? Why? 203 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:11.160 Why? Back then Glad actually doesn't have that anymore? Yeah, So 204 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:18.359 like the best SNK characters um According to like some community tartly some sn our 205 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:26.599 Eori, Geese, uh, Hibeki, Rock, and Kio were often regarded 206 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.000 as like the best like SNK characters. Geese is cool, Yeah, yeah, 207 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.799 Geese is really cool. He's probably like one of my favorite fighting villains. 208 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.680 Yeah, Geese is yeah. Geese is like yeah, probably one of 209 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:53.640 the more iconic ones for sure, Like he and Rugal addictable Man's rule even 210 00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.960 legal to play, I mean regular regular regular regal when a Kuma war, 211 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.880 but they were definitely mid tier. The Omega Rugle and Shinni Kuma though they 212 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.559 were definitely they were banned because they had like infidence and stuff, right, 213 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.880 especially Shinnikuma. He had like a he had like an instant air fireball like 214 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:25.039 infinite It's cute. All right, Yeah, let's there's my venture into all 215 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.640 games because I grew up like playing fighting games, but I had no one 216 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.839 to teach me all learned. So you know what I thought. Told I 217 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.359 was like, huh, now, fight kids of it. But it's basically 218 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.759 a kidd at my own home. It so these legacy titles, and he 219 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.200 does say I'm pretty impressed involved them, Like, I'm also impressed at how 220 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.599 hot they were back then. There's no internet bedding, So how how are 221 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:56.400 people learning these games? Yeah, aside from fighting games, honestly haven't been 222 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:03.039 playing much. I did pick up HC. League of Leging story. It's 223 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.559 one of those new spin off the Right trying to do for the League of 224 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.920 Legend universe, and this one tells the tale of Silence and that and his 225 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:19.319 battle against the people who don't like majors in his city. It's kind of 226 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.680 like a like a like an X Men story where if you if you grew 227 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:29.240 up having magic powers, you're probably jailed because magic bad. And it's kind 228 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.279 of like criticism in a way, except peaceful magic people and non magic people. 229 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.640 I'm not gone too much into his own. Maybe I'll talk about this 230 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.440 next month. But also hers a fairly short game, so I'll be quick 231 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:49.359 and appart from mag Seeker. Honestly, I've only been really grinding Omega Strikers 232 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:56.440 or locals. The game just came out, No magat four days ago. 233 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.319 I would he came out of the twenty seven. Yeah, that was like 234 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:06.920 Thursday, Thursday, yeah, yeah, And I've been playing the ship because 235 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.720 I've been winning six months for where to come back. I love the game. 236 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.279 It's really unique. It's say for those who don't know Omega Strikers, 237 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:18.839 it's say what the developers call it a footbawler. So you get a football 238 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.680 part which is closer to air hockey, and then you get the brawler part 239 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.759 which been which they mean is that you get to point the shit out of 240 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.759 your opponents and just knock them out the field. They will respond, but 241 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.200 you get the days an option to just just beat them up because they're probably 242 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:40.000 beating you up as well. The game is simple to learn, is really 243 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.240 addictive to to play one. Once you get it getting going, can play 244 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:48.079 solo. It's a tree v three game, so of course it's more funny. 245 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.839 We have like two buddies to help play with you, because sometimes playing 246 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.200 solo in the staff like sports games are like hell honestly like and this game 247 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:03.359 has almost non communication in an attempt to reduce toxicity, so your communication is 248 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.240 limited to emotes and things, which is a little unfortunate for me, but 249 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.799 I think it's enough in a grand scheme of things. And the best pace 250 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.799 is free to play, so go check it out. It's really not much 251 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.200 to talk about right now because I'm still like trying to gain the groups of 252 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.960 the meta and everything. The game has completely changed from from the better I 253 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:30.799 played six months ago. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much on my end, 254 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:37.759 like the last month. Yeah, it's nice. I mean for someone 255 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.200 who says they didn't play a whole lot, sounds like I played a whole 256 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.960 lot. Fight K. I just lu fight Kid into like like one one 257 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.240 whole thing because there's so many things, so many games, and the one 258 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:57.200 one little program. So yeah, nice, nice, Well I guess that 259 00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.559 means Ryan. I think it's you. It is, and I think I 260 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.279 want to pig you off, piggyback off of what Cats was talking about with 261 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:11.279 Omega Strikers, because that is exactly what I have been playing has been Omega 262 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.400 Strikers up for that game, and it looks so good. Yeah. Yeah, 263 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.319 So I mainly been playing Juliet. I mean that's the character I played 264 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:26.519 in the beta as well. With that game and everything. Um but um, 265 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.240 you know, like a cats say, it's a three v three like 266 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.720 you know, basically like field hockey uh style game. Um, it was 267 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.599 very bare bones during the beta. Um, and like it was, it 268 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.799 was fun, um, but people did get kind of bored of it a 269 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.880 little bit pretty quick because it was kind of the same thing over and over, 270 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.799 Like he played this hockey game three v three, first to five you 271 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:55.200 know, wins or ordered to KCB games were really really quick things like that. 272 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.319 Like, I personally enjoyed how quick the games were and everything, but 273 00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.599 I also understood the argument. It's just like, man, there's not really 274 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.359 a lot to it, you know outside of just the the you know, 275 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.319 field hockey style of game and things like that and everything. Right, so 276 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.599 kind of some of the things that they did that have changed up the game 277 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:22.400 drastically. They now treat it as um as basically like a fighting game set 278 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.440 in a sense, right, so instead of being the first to five, 279 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.440 it's first to three and instead of the game just ending there, it's just 280 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:37.720 that's the end of the first period, right, So it's basically the deal 281 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.359 where is like the first to you know, score three goals wins that set, 282 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:48.039 and the team that's the first to win three sets is what decides the 283 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.400 game. So it could be a very quick game that could just goes three 284 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.359 sets of three or whatever, or it can go to distance and go all 285 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.039 the way to the full five sets, depending on like, you know, 286 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.880 how the team's playing everything. And they've added like different things where like you 287 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:14.680 can pick your own buffs that are available, and it's based off of performance 288 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.200 in the set, right, So if you were like the best player that 289 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.880 set, you'll get the first pick of which buff do you want? Of 290 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.720 eight particular buffs that you get to choose from, and it could be anything 291 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:33.559 from like enhancing your skills to you know, creating more damage off attacks, 292 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.279 to other players getting more knocked down like like stats or knockout stats, things 293 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:42.960 like that. And then you also get like buffs at the beginning that you 294 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.119 get to choose from. You know, if you want to make your character 295 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.079 faster, if you want to make your character a little bigger, things like 296 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:53.680 that and everything. So they really change that aspect to where like as Cattle 297 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.960 was mentioned with the meta sott and everything, where they just throwing a bunch 298 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.599 of different things to like customize at that point of like how you want to 299 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.400 play the game basically, and also based off like what character you're playing as 300 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:12.240 well and everything. And they have a pretty unique mix of characters that you 301 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:17.519 get to choose from in the game stuff like at everything. Also, like 302 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.480 the maps or like the fields that you play on are different as well. 303 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.599 There's actually now like different fields that you get to play on, and they 304 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.039 all have their like own like unique attributes and sometimes like the goal won't be 305 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:36.079 accessed immediately you have to like hit these like bumpers or stuff like that, 306 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:38.000 like pinball in a sense, right where like you have to hit these certain 307 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.599 bumpers or certain obstacles that would eventually open up the goal that you're trying to 308 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:48.160 score in and everything as well. So like they've added like a bunch of 309 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.279 different things to kind of add some more I guess, add some more like 310 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:59.000 game element to explore and have fun with while still playing you know, the 311 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:04.440 field hockey aspect of the game and stuff. Um so I've definitely been enjoying 312 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.240 the new changes stuff. I guy, I didn't realize I know, like 313 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:10.559 when Katson told me, like all the changes stuff I got, I was 314 00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.000 like I was kind of wondering, like how drastic it was actually changed in 315 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.119 Yeah, I mean it added a lot of different things. Like I was 316 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:22.319 actually kind of impressed with how much they added. Yeah. Basically, Um, 317 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.480 there's two new characters they added as well. One character is like a 318 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.200 like a short like Samurai like ninja character. Um, I forget what his 319 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.400 name was though, like sorts of this zentaro Yeah. And then another dude 320 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.720 named Rasmus who has liked this like hook thing that he uses in uh in 321 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.759 the field hockey stuff and everything. Um. And then there's a couple of 322 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.960 other characters they added, like Run. I don't I don't see anybody really 323 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.880 playing Run though, Um, so I don't know what he does. Um 324 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:02.799 that maybe why then? Really? Yeah? So uh so, yeah, 325 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.799 they've added some new characters, new maps, like new ways to play the 326 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.000 game with like choosing your buffs and choosing like what things you want to use 327 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.039 to kind of level up and stuff like that, and then just kind of 328 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.359 go from there. So I've been playing a lot of that. Mega Strikers 329 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.400 has been very fun. Definitely recommend you know, everyone to give it a 330 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.119 shot, give it a try. It is free to play, so you 331 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:29.440 know you can't beat that. Uh yeah, it is free to play, 332 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.640 so definitely, you know, give the shot. Tried out, you know, 333 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.359 give it, you know, find out for yourself. I personally like 334 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.119 the game. I think it's a lot of fun, but definitely find out 335 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.599 for yourself too. And and then it made the controller functionality, um better 336 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.640 to use as well, um because I know, like Debata, sometimes the 337 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.799 controller was acting wonky, but now there is like full controller support so you 338 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.119 don't have to play on a keyboard amounts if you want, you can play 339 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.319 on controller. Um, I want to. Uh. Is it cross play 340 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:03.160 as well? Yeah? Everyway? Yeah. Yeah, So that's the other 341 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.200 thing too. It's it's it's act, it's accessible for everything, like you 342 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.720 can think. There's even a multiple version too, so like it's very much 343 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.960 cross play. So definitely give it a shot. It's definitely put a lot 344 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.160 into it. Let's say Trigger made the opening video for it. You know 345 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:25.000 that's saying something too. Trigger only does quality work. So um, another 346 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.680 game, Yeah, exactly. Another game that I messed around with a little 347 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.559 bit last night. And it's a game I keep saying. I kept seeing 348 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.400 them I recommended, and I had a little bit of money that's been and 349 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.200 it was kind of on sale, but and like, oh, you know 350 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:41.880 what, I'll give it a shot. You see what it's, what it's 351 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:47.720 about and everything. Um, but it's a it's a rhythm game called Melatonin. 352 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:56.240 Yeah, so yeah, so I bought I bought that last night and 353 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:02.000 was playing it. It's a very different rhythm game because it's not like your 354 00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.960 traditional ryth of games where you like see the inputs and stuff like that and 355 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:08.039 everything and then you, you know, you try to hit the you know, 356 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:14.079 inputs on the rhythm and things like that everything, although it does contain 357 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.119 that aspect, but it's done differently. So like I just started the game 358 00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:25.319 last night, and everything's hand drawn in the game too, so like all 359 00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.519 the animation stuff and everything that's done and stuff like that, it's all hand 360 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:33.920 drawn and you have to complete like certain stages and stuff like that. Of 361 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.680 like this character, this dude that's like having these dreams when he falls asleep, 362 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.799 and like it give me, there's a random dream where like he's eating 363 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.079 a bunch of food, or like he's doing a bunch of shopping, or 364 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:47.640 he's playing, you know, a bunch of video games things like whatever, 365 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.319 and like the stages are like when the music's going everything you have to listen 366 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.960 into like actual actual like audio cues for when you hit the input, and 367 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.799 you'll see based off the animation if you get the input right, if you 368 00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:06.000 get it perfect or not. Like for example, there's the one where like 369 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.000 you're going through the food dream right and you have those like box of donuts 370 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.480 it's launching donuts at you and everything stuff like that. You have to time. 371 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.640 You have to time your inputs based off when the donut is approaching for 372 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.480 you to eat the donut. If you if you hidden perfect, you eat 373 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.119 the donut. If you miss time it, you miss the donut. So 374 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.640 like that's kind of like the way the Rhythm game is done. It's like 375 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.759 you got to time your audio cues with the rhythm of the track also being 376 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.400 based off the animation and looking at that too and everything, so you can 377 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.599 time things you know to be able to get like the perfect like animation sequences 378 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.079 and stuff like that. Otherwise, like you said, if you miss it, 379 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.119 you miss the donut, and you see like him, like the character 380 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.920 just float out like try to take a chomp, like catch the donut and 381 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.960 just completely miss it and stuff like that and everything. So like it's it's 382 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:04.559 unique in that regard where like there's like different little things that you're doing in 383 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.640 this rhythm game while trying to complete like certain tasks and then be able to 384 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:13.720 unlock other parts of like other dreams stuff like that. There's another one UM 385 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:17.920 Order dream where like it's like a shopping thing or whatever, and your your 386 00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.640 inputs are like swiping the credit card on the like certain beats of when the 387 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:28.279 items are available to purchase and stuff like that. So it's very it's a 388 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:34.359 very unique rhythm game, um when it comes to like how they do actually 389 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:42.759 yeah, very much. So um yeah. So like I'm like I said, 390 00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.079 I dabbled with it a little bit. I probably plaid like maybe an 391 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:46.839 hour of it and stuff like that. But it's definitely probably one of the 392 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:53.000 more unique like rhythm games I have played, um because of that, so 393 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:57.920 um, And it was really toubly cheap. It was like fifteen bucks on 394 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.599 on Steam, so I was like, yeah, you know, I keep 395 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.200 seeing this on here, I've seen other people like play it a little bit 396 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.440 and it's been reviewed pretty well, so it's like, I'll give it a 397 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.359 shot and see what I think of it. And it's just like I definitely 398 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.720 want to play more of it, like more of it. But it is 399 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:17.119 definitely a very much a different experience from what I'm used to as far as 400 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:21.119 like the rhythm games go and everything, and that's a good thing, so, 401 00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:24.039 you know, something just something that's a little different. So um, 402 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:30.759 outside of that, that's pretty much it as far as what I've played. 403 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:37.559 I do want to eventually start up Hankai Starrail. I do have it downloaded, 404 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.480 but I have not had a chance to boot it up yet, so 405 00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.519 like that's probably gonna be something on my agenda for this week to start up 406 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:51.519 and play and maybe I'll have a review on that. That's basically the Hoyovers 407 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:58.599 turn based RPG game yep, So so I definitely want to check that out 408 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.160 and see what it's like everything, but I'll probably do that sometime this week. 409 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:07.680 So that's pretty much it for me though. Okay, okay, well 410 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.599 I guess that moves on to me, which I'll be honest, I haven't 411 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:17.159 really had too much time to put into games this week. I've mainly just 412 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.599 been continuing my journey through Octopath two. I still really like that game. 413 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.280 I finally hit the point where, like you start having the crossover chapters in 414 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:34.800 that game, which I think a really neat. It's like, I like 415 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:43.079 to see what they're doing, and like it's not perfect. I see what 416 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:49.599 they're going for, and I think it's really cool. I don't know if, 417 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.480 like if the payoff will entirely be there, but like, I like 418 00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:05.360 what I am seeing, and I am a bit disappointed in the in the 419 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.400 fact that, like it looks like they're just pairing off, so like they're 420 00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:15.280 pairing off the eight Travelers in just pairs, and it looks like those crossover 421 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.360 chapters are just going to be between those pairs. So for example, only 422 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:31.199 Hikari and Agnea, which is the Dancer and the the Dancer and the Warrior, 423 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:36.840 are gonna have like their crossover chapters are going to be its own tail. 424 00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:42.159 But you're not gonna see like those characters crossover with anybody else. At 425 00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.480 least that is the impression I've gotten so far. I couldn't be wrong, 426 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:52.159 but again Entrepat two really improves upon that sort of issue with the first game, 427 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:57.199 where like you have these eight characters, these eight protagonists, but they 428 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:01.400 feel like complete strangers to each other. So the game, excuse me, 429 00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:07.519 the game doesn't feel like super authentic, you know. Um, so I'm 430 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:14.559 really happy to see like Octopath too, like really put the steps in to 431 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:21.239 fix that. And you know, maybe by Octopath four, will u we'll 432 00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:27.159 have like the perfect Octopath game, you know. Um at least that's my 433 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:35.639 hope. I've not gotten into yet. I need to maybe one day once 434 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:37.760 I get caught up with some other stuff, maybe to play through the first 435 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.920 one or something. It's it's a really fun time, I think. Uh, 436 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:52.679 those games really bring h a feel of like retro RPG back that is 437 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:57.559 something that I miss. Um And like the h G two d is gorgeous. 438 00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:05.320 I love looking at it, uh yas or Nishiki's uh soundtracks are fantastic, 439 00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:12.039 Like I love the soundtracks, like the second boss theme in this game, 440 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:15.760 like I did live rent free in my head, I'm doing like the 441 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:21.639 whole cat like Bob and its head type vibe, like every time it pops 442 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.119 on and like I get so white every time I hear it, I'm just 443 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.840 like, oh, the song is so good. So like just the package 444 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:32.280 of Octropath is just it's it's really good. Like I definitely recommend it. 445 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.719 I think I see the first one on sale on scheme all the time, 446 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.920 So when you get a chance, Ryan, I definitely recommend it. Yeah. 447 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.920 I just have like a bunch of other games I need to catch up 448 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:49.159 on sure, but yeah, I definitely get it. Unfortunately, we live 449 00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.679 in a time where like there's so many games out. I mean it's not 450 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:58.920 unfortunate that we have so many games, but it's really hard to have every 451 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:06.719 time. Yes, I think are so long that I want the same time 452 00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:12.679 into them, but I just can. Sometimes. It's like right now, 453 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.599 I just put it up Rise Eye Tree and I played only five minutes of 454 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.199 it. I'm like, there's gonna be a long rise in it, and 455 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:24.280 I just I just stopped after realizing that time things man suck. Yeah, 456 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.920 like between going through like Trails and like other RPGs. It's just like these 457 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:35.440 games are so long, and I wish they were. I love, I 458 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.880 love them, I love to connect to the love the story, I love 459 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:44.239 the gameplay, just don't have the time mm hmm. Yeah, lyescially considering 460 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.440 like all the other stuff I'm doing and stuff I got too. Mm hmm. 461 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:58.719 It's just hard. Yeah, Well being an adult sucks. Um Like 462 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:04.679 I I wish I just had time to play all the like video games and 463 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:08.840 RPGs I want too, and like they never slowed down. Uh, Like 464 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:14.119 every time you turn around, a new game's coming out, and I'm just 465 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.079 like, frick man, I haven't even beaten like the last five.

Yeah. 498 00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:20.159 Yeah, that's that's kind of my thing, is like whenever I get 499 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:23.559 the chance to actually sit down and play it and so I get I am 500 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:30.800 definitely gonna be all for it for sure. Once again, it's just it's 501 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:35.039 just it's a it's a matter of time. You know. You do what 502 00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.519 you can and you try to find in the games that you want and pray 503 00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:45.320 for the best. But uh, I don't video games are cool, I 504 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:51.079 think, is the point I'm trying to make, uh, while also complaining 505 00:42:51.239 --> 00:43:00.199 that I have no freaking time and it sucks. Yep. But that being 506 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.039 said, in terms of I am on top of optopath. I have been 507 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:10.119 grinding some strives. I finally made Celestial with my biking, which isn't like 508 00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:15.760 a huge deal like Celestial these days, Like it's not a huge deal, 509 00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:21.079 but it's kind of nice to hit that milestone that I'm making solid progress with 510 00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.280 this character that I picked up. And I don't know why I decided to 511 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:37.800 grind strive now of all times, but here we are. I wish the 512 00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:45.960 play like on and off. It's not really again I can see because they 513 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:50.599 can just feels really stiff, like combo wise, it feels really stiff. 514 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.960 I kind of selvage or combo so to say, like I can do an 515 00:43:55.039 --> 00:44:04.639 exit plus R. And also because the I don't have like a character I 516 00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.280 really really really like in strife like Ada Nizzato. By even then, I'm 517 00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:13.760 getting read both of him Batman, wasn't it he? Batman looked cool in 518 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:19.119 the trailer, but after playing him that, I have no idea for you. 519 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:23.159 Yeah, just just kind of just feels kimped. Not everything he does 520 00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.239 feels kipped. I have no no idea how how to properly explain. It 521 00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:34.519 just feels mechanic. I think it's really neat, uh a mechanic that Arcis 522 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:39.760 is going to have to tweak very carefully because it's like borderline busted, like 523 00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:49.239 almost like nell felt pineberry grenade busted um that like, I don't know, 524 00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.400 it's weird, but maybe I haven't played against good batman, but right now 525 00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:58.280 the ones that I have played is like Flow nineteen, and they have that 526 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.039 that they're still like struggling to do what they want to do. I have 527 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.000 no idea what they want to do, so I just kind of like oppose 528 00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:07.599 and just lose that those things on them. I don't know. I mean, 529 00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:12.320 I oppose is a difficult thing to deal with to begin with. I'll 530 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:16.400 be honest, like I have opinions of maybe that move shouldn't exist, but 531 00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:24.000 I'll save that for another day. I see some some very competent bead man 532 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:30.639 players, and they are quite good. I mean they are quite scary. 533 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.920 And XAR, we had one of the best bed players in the US in 534 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:42.599 our group, um Jeff like and like, I haven't had a chance to 535 00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.639 like ever talk to him later things so I can. But there's part of 536 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:49.639 me that wonders, like if he's played Strive and if he's been if he 537 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:54.280 has had a chance to play um bed man, because he used to be 538 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:59.920 a bad man player. So um, but I remember like in Exar, 539 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.159 like, oh my gosh, fighting his bad Man was a nightmare because of 540 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:08.199 how like efficient he was with that character. Oh he was insane. He 541 00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:15.239 was one of the hardest players to play against in that game because Jeff was 542 00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:23.840 just naturally good and beg Nan was a very uncommon character. And I honestly 543 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:28.920 want to say, Jeff lating you know, old school Marble two player um 544 00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:31.920 as well, But I honestly want to say, like, as far as 545 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.400 bead Man players in the US, I want to say, he was like 546 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:40.679 top three, behind GC Yoshi and um the other one that scapes my name, 547 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:46.920 but definitely behind GC Yoshi for sure. Um yeah, I definitely agree. 548 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:52.039 Yeah, he like he was my gosh, he was just incredibly good. 549 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:59.480 Um Like, I would love to play him in fighting games again. 550 00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.400 I don't no, I don't think he really puts any time in this drove. 551 00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:06.400 Maybe he'll come back for Street Fighter six, I don't know. I 552 00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.920 keep putting my faith in Street Fighter six going to be the game that saves 553 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:14.960 fighting games. I think everybody is right now, Like I think you're not 554 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:21.039 the only one in that camp. I agree. I'm looking forward to project 555 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.480 it'll be more. Yeah, but that game seems like that's like that game 556 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:29.639 still feels like it's like three years away. What the way you're doing stuff 557 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:34.320 like they like, like you think by now like you would get more than 558 00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:37.440 what we're getting, but that that game still feels like it's so far away. 559 00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:49.119 True does it's only because it's Mark is free to play fighting game days, 560 00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.280 like he spots radio so does say so this one. I'm like, 561 00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:57.400 yeah, maybe Project Else the one to save the fec. I'm not saying, 562 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.920 but she fighting six with even Lee I show you in the new the 563 00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:09.119 new generation at least, Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with modern 564 00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:15.360 controls are viable. Yeah, I'm I'm more or less curious to see how 565 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:21.960 that's all gonna play out. Um as far as like how that's gonna work 566 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.239 and stuff. I think I'm still gonna stay with the traditional controls because like 567 00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.039 that's how I played Street Fighter all my life. Um, So like I 568 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:35.760 but I am curious to see what the like how the implication of the modern 569 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:40.599 controls are gonna are gonna work, um and things like that. So because 570 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.840 I even with the modern controls, like, I still think at the end 571 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:46.960 of the day, the play the better player is gonna win. Um. 572 00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:51.400 But you know, I mean we'll this, we'll just kind of see how 573 00:48:51.440 --> 00:49:01.599 that all kind of you know how that evolves when it does release. Did 574 00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:09.440 you is hope for the best? Yep? But again I have high hopes. 575 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:16.840 I think we're gonna return to like two thousand and nine, uh, 576 00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:24.000 like Street Fighter four Fighting Game Resurgence, and it's going to be ranned. 577 00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:29.800 Yeah, definitely feels that way. At least at least that's what I tell 578 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:34.119 myself how it feels that way. We'll see if that's we'll see if that's 579 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:42.199 actually how it works. Um, but I have high, high, high, 580 00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:50.760 high high hopes, and they can't tell me otherwise. Nothing wrong. 581 00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:54.719 But but with that, I think that that's all I've been playing. Does 582 00:49:54.760 --> 00:50:00.639 anybody have anything else they'd like to add? Or we reached the end of 583 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.039 our short little show. I think I think that's a good stopping point. 584 00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.639 I think we I mean, I know, for me, like that's all 585 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:15.159 I really hit on and everything. Yeah, gotcha, gotcha? Well, 586 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:19.400 I guess we can start the sign off? So cats, where can people 587 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:24.880 find John Line? Y'all can find me on Twitter at Kaylin Cat's spelled with 588 00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:29.400 case with for Kalin, nine Cats and two zees. At the end, 589 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:32.840 play Omega Rights. It's free, It's fun. I really wanted to give 590 00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:37.159 to succeed. I don't want it to slowly die of like don't return. 591 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.679 Still play a game, but both games are amazing. Just just check them 592 00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.719 out.

And uh, for me, you 617 00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:53.679 can find me on Twitter at JSB totally drew, I don't know. You 618 00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:58.679 can just see me tweeting out video game opinions. Uh. My latest were 619 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:02.159 my takes on the I do have to bring this up because this is worthwhile 620 00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:07.239 video game news. The new hot take was to complain about how Rematching is 621 00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:09.960 two fasts and tree Fighter six and that has to be the dumbest fighting game 622 00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:17.039 take I've ever heard of in my life. You can't be serious. People 623 00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:31.679 were complaining it's great, it's great. I'm unable to even are you I 624 00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:37.440 mean if okay, I say, I couldn't believe it. But like after 625 00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:39.639 I freed, I was like, yeah, I can't believe it. I 626 00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:47.079 mean, you're not wrong, I mean, but still, like I thought 627 00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:51.159 we were ending this podcast on on a on a high note, you know, 628 00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:57.119 and then you have to go because I can't believe people are that stupid. 629 00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:02.719 Here we are, yeah, here, we are good. But that's 630 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:07.480 fine. So you can see my takes on making fun of the fighting game 631 00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:12.119 community on Twitter edging speech totally Drew, that's definitely the worst thing about the 632 00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:20.719 about the fighting game community Twitter anymore. It's so bad. Uh. And 633 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:23.760 with that, I think that's an episode. So thank you all for joining 634 00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:28.360 us, Thank for both of you for joining me. We miss Rob but 635 00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:32.119 he'll be back next week. But for now we will leave you all with 636 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:37.599 the rest of your week. Y'all.
