Playing #MarvelvsCapcominfinite or #MVCI's story mode. Posting thoughts here for a full review later

Firstly, the Deluxe is 2000 yen. A bargain.

Won't let you take screenshots on the PS5.

Dialogue is bad.

Gameplay ... Yeah? Alright? Working on it.

It's C. Viper Day!!

Hope I can stay awake long enough to play a few matches with her tonight.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 1d

Still waiting for ChatGPT or any "A.I." thing to solve global warming and world hunger like they promised these machines would do.

Tomorrow: C. Viper! And I only have to teach three classes on Thursday, too.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 2d

That's unfortunate, but understandable. Ah well, I'll have to get it for the PS5 even if it means I will play it less

He's definitely one of the growing number of "Professional Opinion Havers"TM regardless of what they are talking about

Accidentally bought most of our kids Chrissie presents earlier in the year, so my wife and I can relax going into November.

The history of the game dev is interesting in that it has been taken over by a group that attempts to revive killed projects (usually from ethically awful pubs). This makes the moral equation of supporting Avatar easy.

Support more weird FGs.

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game officially announced with new gameplay trailer

Late last year, we heard word that the Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game being developed by Maximum Entertainment (the developers behind Them's Fightin' Herds) had been canceled. Seemingly out ...

Ah. I hope it doesn't impact their output. They've got a lot of good writers on staff.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 3d

Pls be $30 and on the Switch so I can buy it and review it for my site.

But Avatar The Fighting Game looks good! Just wish it wasn't releasing the same year as Tokon and Invincible Vs

I guess it doesn't matter if I mention their name as I don't follow them anymore, so Luke Plunket at Aftermath.

Aftermath looked so good as an alternative gaming site, until I kept following him b/c he's a founder.

Just seems to hate the medium r/n 🤷‍♂️

Almost subbed, too

"Alternative gaming publication" should NOT equal "people who hate the fandom, popular media in the medium and the main companies that make it"

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 3d

It's probably not true, but it feels like only in video games could a person running a "video game news site" as their FT job be so annoyed more people are not subscribing to their site, but also publicly proud they hate video games and spend as little time on them as possible.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 4d

Invincible Vs is winning me over with every new character reveal.

It feels like a 3 v 3 should, and if they have a story mode, I'm in.

Please and thank you.

Autumn is here.

Big stages, dancing, speaker drones...
This is quite the festival, huh?

Avail (in Japan) has released several bags worth of Hunter x Hunter merch.

The collab sneakers especially look cool.

This is one of my all time favourite videos, essential viewing for system designers.

The amount of information in this video is incredible and most people have no idea how bad they are at using Excel.

I'm going to buy C. Viper for $7 next week, and play her to finish a few levels of the Battle Pass.

I'll probably pay $6 for Manon's costume as well. You enjoy that $100 2XKO starter pack, which was supposed to be free.

"This game with no FGC pedigree is selling its content at prices historically reserved for legacy franchises. But I'm sure the parent company will decrease prices if it becomes popular."

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 8d

It's going to be a long twelve months of watching YouTubers defend 2XKO for similar DLC pricing they screeched at Street Fighter 6 for.

And that's before we get to the $50 premium cosmetics that will eventually roll out.

Brian_F takes a deep dive into the $40 Capcom Cup controversy and Nakayama-san's Twitter replies.

TLDW: Different divisions run separate sections of SF6 and don't talk to each other. Even the devs are at breaking point now.
