yams i'll play you 3s. So i can get a wongfactor again /kappa
You're into Prison School.
The Splatoon Character Design thread a bit back was a wonderful read.
iirc, someone complained about some of the fanart and posted one with the character in a school uniform by the guy of Ika Musume. It wasn't even a suggestive one at all. It's just GAF being GAF by jumping the gun.
no i suck at 3s
dude, prison school is a work of art! plus, what's wrong with prison school?
LOL yeah they have/will and they will do so without having seen a second of it. Don't underestimate people
Yeah I've gotten that sense too. There is truth in the "where there's smoke there is fire" saying but show some people a picture of some sticks (and nothing more) and they will yell there is a blazing, out of control inferno in front of them LOL
There was one guy going on and on how the Inklings looked like serial killers. It was surreal O_O
Also what Rhapsody said too

prison school is awesome. That made me realize a new one hasnt been posted in a while
I have no issue with it, but you said this...
...when Prison School's like super lewd.
High School of the Dead
Nah I'm going to back up Yams here (and Shouta will agree when he's done yelling at us for being off topic) but Prison School is legit good.
So um........Fighting Games! Anyone expecting anything out of E3? Some real SFV info perhaps? Is it too soon to be thinking about Tekken 7 console release plans?

A lot of people will see the Japanese young girl archetype and jump the gun, but this is Blazblue. The game has every female character sexualized in some way(sprite, splash art, gallery mode, etc), Relius Astral, Amane is the gay man chasing little boys archetype, Kagura is all super not okay, and so on. Every time they cut a promo you have to go wow at all the sexy fanservice that happens. Plat has fallen victim to this, the hug pillow was /bad/, and she still gets off better than the old Rachel promos.
I remember the first time I watched a Blazblue CS stream in NA, they went into the gallery mode during stream down time and put up an image of Plat and Rachel almost naked on top of each other that was in the game. The community doesn't help the problem.
Again I don't like any of these things and I don't touch story mode or any of that bullshit, I just think the game is awesome in the fighting game department and I love other stuff about it so I still play it. I'd rather at least say "that's not okay" and power through it than try to justify it lol

I mentioned that with the whole trinity platinum shit for blazblue and how people were specifically talking about sexualization of characters in the young age range.

I expect SFV to be at E3 with a new character, probably not Bison since its on a Monday.
I kinda want to be surprised with something new in the Vs. fighter mold. I have Smash and Guilty is on deck, but I guess I'm starting to have pangs for some more Capcom characters, specifically more Dante/Strider teams.

I find the all of the incest in Blazblu what is really creepy not platnium. I love her inversion of the trope. But BB does have ratchet Kokonoe and Makoto however.
She's there to mock the stereotype and its fans. Heck the first thing she says when woken up by Kokonoe in her bad ending is "What the fuck" and then she proceeds to threaten Kokonoe's life, call her retarded and then claim that she's a pervert out to do crazy H-game stuff to her. She does that a lot...yelled it at Ragna too.
Like I said. She's a tongue in cheek jab at the genre, it's tropes and especially its fans. I will give you this...the game has a lot of fanservice through out it. I just don't see Platinum the Trinity as one of the examples of "pervy" things in the game. She was a bait and switch to mock those wanting a true magical girl to fawn over.

Where in the back?

Nintendo vs Capcom or just Capcom vs Capcom needs to happen. The later seems so safe and a no brainier for Capcom but I don't have them numbers in front of me so its hard for me to say as just a consumer. The know fact that Capcom suits are idiots doesn't help things either though.
Kagura's entire character is the overbearing pervert/molestor thing, and in Blazblue fashion they take it to ridiculous degrees with him throwing women around and catching them (or dropping them when he loses).
The archetype is really annoying as is, but he analyzes the girls before every fight for their bodies, and when he knocks out certain ones he says things like "now's my chance" and etc. His character in the universe outside of it doesn't get any more appealing.
anyone watching mix up night? Lets talk about fighting games pls.
Waiting on Blazblue to start back up and cleaning some. I'm having people come to my place to play which is super rare since I live a tiny bit out of the way of Nashville.

Kagura is a playboy in his free time, though in story mode he drops that.
He has the hots for Noel BAD
Ya'll better take a group photo after all this is done.

This sounds amazing until i thought about seeing the DoA/Musou ladies in modern Capcom's graphical style. Ew.
This is a link to the stream. Right now they're showing USF IV.

I wish fighting games were just about the better players winning and not just the better player making the other person miserable and then winning.
That seems to be a north america thing. Make your opponent look bad, even in casuals. Even when the other person is just trying new stuff out.
In every single online game, the better player/team makes it a point to make it miserable for the other player/team. Even in Hearthstone the winner trolls you with overkill, unnecessary plays or ropes you in order to make you concede.
People have a need to cement their superiority by whatever means necessary. And it's a culture that is in a vicious cycle because when that shit happens to you, you want to do it to someone else just so someone else can feel what you felt.
No this is a human being thing. Shit happens in Europe, South America, Russia, South Asia, Middle East, Southeast Asia etc.

I dunno, in casuals it's kind of easier to deal with the emotional impact of losing because you can just keep playing. But holding that L and dwelling on it without any distractions is extremely bad for ones wellbeing.
If you're playing mostly optimally or are safely winning this is usually the best mind game.
That's competitive and serious play with people expecting no holds btw, don't do this against weaker people in friendly casuals to get your rocks off.

Lu Bu would be so broken with armor and damage lol. The ones that'd scare me would be Nemea, Hundun, and Xu Shu. Resets for daaaaaaays.
Heck the amount of amazing tier characters Koei has in their Warriors games to put in a vs fighter is mind boggling. Top ones I can think of.
- Jia Chong- thrown axes could be far scarier than Ouroboros IMO
- Zhao Yun-Pressure character with the range of a spear...Vergil 2.0
- Fa Zheng- he throws a magic carpet out for his attacks and has stun states. Basically HUGE hitbox traps and insane meter build with stuns. Guy would be crazy for damage and finishing big.
- Kunoichi-Wolverine meets ...every thing lol.
- Yoshitsune Minamoto- laser sword that gets bigger and does more damage every time he lands a command grab that dashes forward? Plus he has Zero's buster. Oh hell yes, why isn't he already a character?
- Nezha- placing large multihit waves of energy on the screen that draw folks in while possessing the highest speed and dash range plus thrown ring weapons and multiple launchers. All around crazy fun.
