The 2nd one sure, but the 1st one has more in common with western RPGs. If you think that one's weeb you haven't played it.


Admittedly I havent, but my God the 2nd one is almost parody level weeb so I just figured that was the series.

Also this means no Civil War, so I wonder how that affects the make-up of America.

Also does modern day racism/race relations still happen the same way? How many black people are even in America?

It would be assumed that any black person in America is an immigrant like anyone that comes from India, China etc. for their career and/or to build a life for their family.

It's important to remember that gay and especially trans people make up an extremely small part of the world's population so the odds of encountering this situation are fairly slim to none.


To me this mentality only encourages not giving a shit about getting it right or abiding by peoples preferred pronouns or labels.

As someone who's been active within gay communities for years, I saw both arrangements as valid despite what some critics would say. Both couples functioned in their own ways as happy pairings. To me that's primarily what matters.


I agree with this, however dont these kinds of grey areas become problematic in instances when people are trying to get others to label them as or describe them correctly in other instances?

Or do sexual orientation labels matter less than gender labels? I wouldve thought the opposite with all the new -sexual labels that have popped up in the last 10-15 years.

I would assume that having concrete rules and explanations would only help educate people outside the community, rather than having hard rules in some areas and being whatever about other areas.

Thats the ONE insane thing is that this game NEVER goes on sale, even on Black Friday it isnt. The base game is still $60 and itd cost over $100 to get all the DLC released so far.

Im limiting myself to 1 new character every month to at least make the expenses feel more negligible.

It has the block button (AND back to block if you want) and universal button + directional special moves of Smash Bros, and universal inputs that apply to all characters (AND traditional directional inputs if you want). Both choices have little pros and cons to balance it all out. Also combos are all the same simple 3 button press and its just about stringing together special moves however you think will work.

Like Smash Bros, you can learn how to play in 5 seconds and its all about using the right moves at the right times.

As much as I love fighting games, ive always hated the usually very high barrier of entry because it often requires memorizing a shitload of inputs and combos and/or annoying d-pad rotations that you have to time right so ill fuck up doing the move I wanted to do in that moment.

Also as a game it has an absolutely gorgeous artstyle, awesome and diverse characters and a really cool story mode that applies the actual fighting game mechanics to a 2D beat em up/RPG.

So yeah, if youre anything like me and are looking for a proper fighting game (as opposed to the platforming type fighter Smash Bros is) with all the accessibility and simplicity of Smash Bros, I strongly recommend this game.

I always liked Sublime but assumed they were just an intro band to other better bands like them.
