Woooow, I assure you I've played this game and other games without just 'pushing the buttons'. The point is that shoto analogs have been different in various games. Now in BB Ragna and Jin are more Sol/Ky analogs (Mostly meaning Ragna is more divorced from shotoism), but whatever. The article...

Also wait, why is Blazblue getting so much credit? For what? Being a worse Guilty Gear? The crazy, comborific Fighter is an old concept at this point. Considering the game has less gameplay diversity then Guilty Gear. I don't care what people play. You gotta be really into this shit to...

Not to defend SF4s shitty netplay and lobby system but they couldn't really just drop HDRs right in. Besides SF4 not being able to support GGPO, both games were being developers concurrently by Capcom US and Capcom Japan. That said, it still sucked -- more then just about every other fighting...

/h/ on 4chan?

Besides the fact I disagree with Wolfram's choice of words (lol ape like), it is pretty true. You can now get combat with a plethora of moves and have cool effects go off and the likes without things being linked to a "1 vs 1" fighting game base. Fighting games are a very exact thing. If you...

I Wanna Be The Guy is an indie PC game about NES gaming thats proven to be surprisingly popular. There was an Escapist article about it (Games that Done me Wrong I believe?). But yeah I think the important wording here is 'no longer'. Code is the file arbiter of a game. Just because a nerf...

What a load of nonsense. Competitive FPS gameplay requires a vast amount of skills. Incredible amounts of situational awareness is required, as well. Subtle details compound the advantages and disadvantages of a situation... and lets forget how open ended aiming is as a skill. Comparing this to...

This is true, but those players aren't going to be playing clan matches. If you're getting into clan matches, it's to create a comparison of skill. This seems like such an unnecessary and silly jab that doesn't seem to have a purpose in this discussion and probably isn't even true if you're...

Hello, I'm Michael "Kayin" O'Reilly, creator of I Wanna Be the Guy, and I am here to disagree! Actually to be fair I think the article was actually okay and pretty non-bias. Some of the examples were pretty weak (Sequence breaking in L4D2 and boomers using the kill command are the only things...
