This is fantastic. I love this Mika just because of how much enthusiasm she brings to the fight. Not a lot of characters look like they’re having this much fun in a fight, and she’s just so fully confident in her identity that it’s hard to dislike her, rainbows and butts and muscles and all. And goddamn if she doesn’t…

I think what we really want is transferable saves. A way to store a savefile so you can back it up, or give it to a friend. That way we solve the broken system problem, don’t limit the developers to figure out how to put level-select in a sandbox game, and the game devs have the assurance that SOMEONE experienced each…

I have nothing against the idea, but implementation will be rough for any progression based gameplay. I don’t mean just open world, I mean any RPG, where your equipment and stat choices carry over between chapters. You can’t drop a player into a random stage because he won’t be equipt with his personal customizations…

As someone who prefers the anime style, western fighters look awful to me. Like Mortal Kombat, I can’t deal with it.

Well Cammy’s had large anime eyes for all of sf4, small angular eyes look really odd on her. Seems like the dev didn’t want to increase her eye size, and so compromised by making them a bit rounder for that Anime aesthetic. For the older aesthetic we used to have viper and rose. Cammy’s always felt pretty young, since…

Can people not like a certain aesthetic without fapping? Cute doesn’t have to mean something sexual, sometimes it just means cute.

I wouldn’t automatically assume that Americans hate new Cammy though. Until enough Americans speak up, the developers would probably assume that Americans are 50/50 and Japanese fans are all in. You can’t appeal to a market that’s 50/50, might as well appeal to the one that cares more.

Kill la kill was good, but let’s be real. It was pander-tastic.

It’s really her fighting style that makes her feel young. She feels ridiculously fast and acrobatic, spry if you will, which is reminiscent of younger gymnasts. For butch, we somehow got R Mika. Dat muscle definition, goddamn.

I’m more excited about the Cammy costume personally. She looks geared up for once, like she had a real equipment budget and wasn’t running around in a leotard because she couldn’t afford two pieces of clothing. Plus I’m a sucker for military accents.

So like every layton game.

Not having the game, I wonder if he gets it wrong on purpose to either mess with you or spark debate. It’s standard problem solving procedure to start with a trivial angle, then refine it with new facts. It would actually be more reasonable for the classic Holmes deductions to be ridiculous long shots that then get…

It’s not ignorance, China has the Internet too. They’re relying on consumer apathy.

Don’t underestimate chinese sales reps, man. If you try to haggle a jade salesman he can say, completely straight faced, that every item in the entire store is a family heirloom.

Designing a smartphone is pretty hard, it’s not creative like writing a book, but you need a lot of innovative people to figure out how to put all the right features into a phone.

Which is weird because Mao was a decent poet, but yeah those did happen.

“Alfred, this is my mess-with-superman kryptonite that i keep in my drawer. There’s a larger chunk in a vault that you’ll want to use if you actually want to fight him, but this. This is for waving around in his face if he starts getting smart with me”

Wait, why does Jim think that’s a good look? He didn’t look in the mirror and think “wait, this looks too much like a Mohawk maybe I should just go bald”?

I’d be pretty upset at the news, too. He’s spent years as the primary reporter on himself, so from a journalistic integrity perspective, that’s a massive conflict of interest. He’s lied to a lot more people than just the newsroom. I can see his boss being pretty pissed about that.
