funny thing about guilty gear collabing with everyone and everything during the XRD days is that there is some mobile MOBA called NND compass where 1: ky kiske is there and 2: he inexplicably has fuckin dr. mundo's passive

the doorman from deadlock would probably be the most fucked up and insufferable smash bros character ever made if he got into one ngl that's lowkey the main reason why I wanna see him in a new smash entry

what if jerma was a cosmic being disguised as a bellboy

in deadlock the doorman has smash ultimate steve's minecart and also portals

this cutscene became kinda hilarious when general raam showed up in killer instinct and his playstyle there is just poisionous SF4 zangief, mans should've jumped out of the command th- oh wait

to escape a command grab in a fighting game you have to jump out

well

biggest change from og beatmania to iidx (aside from 2 more keys) has gotta be how in the OG's P1 side the turntable are on the right/keys are on the left but in iidx it's viceversa since ppl usually tend to be righthanded this shows intent of iidx focusing on keyboard gameplay more than scratching

og beatmania cab, notice P1 side and how turntable is on the right while keys are on left

SMT fans will always go "the combat system is so indepth compared to other games" and then you play it only to realize that it's literally just this stretched out to 50 or more hours

press turn/one more combat system is p much all about putting a square hole in a square peg

completed resistance 2 on difficult mode, pretty funny bit to unlock an "arcade mode" (looked it up, it's just the base campaign but you can only die 3 times) after completing a checkpoint crawler FPS where death can come quickly and unexpectedly

oh yea since everyone was copying COD there was EXP points for unlocking tools in multiplayer, but not like it really matters since servers are down
