Was watching the newest AVGN video and was completely caught off guard by him mentioning "Jackie Chan: Fists of Fire" as one of the few good FMV games in it.
As the person who first applied to TO it at a major fighting game tournament, crazy to see how its notoriety has grown.

Everyone says TvC Ryu is the best and like I'm just not seeing it, this seems very tame

Haven't been playing fighting games online much recently (just some occasional VF5), but I still like to do the obscure FG thing at Pittsburgh FGC locals from time to time.
Cool games we have played recently:
- Wild Disorder
- Secret Meeting 2
- Kizuna Encounter 4 player mode

Crazy to release crossplay and not even notify players it needs to be turned on. (Also push up your delay to 3-4 instead of 1-2)
Important PSA for Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage players:
Crossplay for netplay is not enabled by default!
It needs to be turned on in the GAME SETTINGS menu!
Turn this on if you want to play against players using different consoles online. Not sure why it's off by default.

Been playing & enjoying Absolum, a recently released roguelite beat em up. Combat feels great, simple to pick up but has lots of intricacies. Has good rollback netcode with adjustable delay.
Here is a crazy sequence where my online co-op partner and I landed 500+ hit combos.

The Skeletons are Fighting (Steam Next Fest demo October 2025):
Yor 50% combo using full meter.
This game seems to scale longer combos with lots of L attacks very hard, so it seems better to go for shorter combos with more M and H attacks in order to get big damage.

So sad as a local FGC TO seeing Tekken 8 crash and burn in terms of popularity, mainly cuz of season 2. We had a Tekken 7 and T8 bracket at our bi-weekly today. More people came out for the T7 bracket than T8 lol. We often don't have the minimum 4 entrants to run T8 each event.
