Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
There is better news for the XCOMers.  They've now delayed the shooter, to prioritise the strategy game.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
*Makes a fighting game*

*Releases new version to appease tourney nerds who refuse to play a game for fun*

*Releases new new version to tweak the characters the tourney nerds whined about too much, making a really boring homogenous roster*

*Makes infinite money from all the idiot whiny tourney nerds who keep giving me money despite complaining about how bad my game is*

*Is Capcom*

This is what I don't get. Surely the man-on-the-street fighting game player doesn't care if Ken's fireball goes 1/2 a second slower than Ryu's? How can they financially sustain all the rereleases when only the leet tournament players give a shit?
Indie Lover
no, the leet tournament players... and the leet wannabes... which possibly amount to millions of retards trying to woe ppl with their 5 hit combo...
Indie Lover
and when they can't finish their measly 5 hit combo, they blame the ken fireball, the should go 1/2 second faster...

and so on, and on, and on, ad infinitum.
Who gives a shit. Play Tekken 3 and stfu.

fighting games are just so lost on me. The only fighting game I think I've ever found to be "fun" is the super smash bros series, since you can dick around with friends in it and have fun doing whatever.

With all those Tekkens and Street Fighters and mortal kombats and other stuff it's always just 1 vs 1, standing really close together, mashing shit like crazy.
Tekken is the kind of game where, after a few hours, a load of drunk guys can figure out what patterns in the mashing works to beat their fellow drunk guys. That is why Tekken is amazing.

You can do this with more traditional fighting games too, just don't tell the internet you are or you'll be called a babby little funhaver and shamed forever.

Alternatively just don't talk to fighting game fans ever because they are insufferable. They are like the stereotypical high school jock except they don't realize that they are actually sad nerds like everyone else and have no possible reason hold any sense of superiority. Jocks can at least shove a skinny nerd in a locker.

don't forget shmups fans!
I like the idea of shmups but they are so boring.

i like playing a good shmup on occasion - good shmups are fun because of their challenge, unlike most challenging games. they're almost like puzzle games in that you have to figure out a way to navigate through the bullets.

i just don't get how people can play dozens of them, obsessing over each new release. they're all pretty much the same thing.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Cause they want to look at all those barely clothed eight year old animes, duh doy.
Shmups are pretty much all spaceships, aren't they? Why the anime hate?
Except, like, Contra.

An alarming number are about magical anime girls you see.

I mean look at this shit:

that's a run and gun. what tbob posted is what "shmup" commonly refers to. and yep, many of them have anime chicks for no reason other than fan appeal.
