Fuck yes I would download a car. Then I'd seed that shit for like a year so everyone could have a fucking car. I'd be like the pirate Oprah.
I'm pretty surprised that wakeup Demon 1) doesn't trigger a cutscene, and b) doesn't put Akuma in a punish counter state. The privilege of being Akuma, I suppose.

That's so interesting. This guy did a wakeup Raging Demon around the 00:17 mark and I didn't even realize it. When I saw the cloud of smoke I assumed he was trying to teleport or something. I didn't notice until near the end of the match that it used up all his super meter, then I did a double take.

I don't know what it is about shimmying people as Elena that makes me feel like a special type of asshole. It's a normal shimmy but it feels weirdly dirty.

Been looking for this for a minute. A way to combo into level 2 from midscreen.

I think part of the reason for my impatience is that on some level I'm just kinda desperate for Kal-El to have someone, anyone, who loves him. This version of him leads such a wretched, miserable existence, it's really hard not to feel for him.

Other than Brainiac, that is (and I liked what they did with Brainiac, mind you).

I'm also hoping that Aaron will start delving some more into Superman and Lois' relationship at this point. You can sort of see him planting seeds there, especially in the last issue, but it's been soooo slow-going.

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention. Another way to set up a meaty overhead. After a +39 situation, whiff sLK as a frame kill.

Probably only situationally useful, it doesn't seem like she can roll under if the MP target combo doesn't hit point blank, but still might be good to keep in the back pocket sometimes.

Finally, she can roll under opponents by doing the MKxxHK target combo and canceling into QCB+KK, then canceling that into an empty roll. The roll can be continued in the opposite direction to meaty the opponent with F+LK, or it can be followed by a DR MP (which will also hit meaty).

Second, any sequence that leaves her +42 (e.g., QCB+PP > F+P, QCB+MK near the corner) can be followed up with QCF+HP and it will leave her +4. She is left in throw range even midscreen, in the case of QCB+PP > F+P.
November 29, 2025 at 5:10 AM
A couple things to keep track of. First, any sequence that leaves her +39 (e.g., QCB+P > F+P, QCF+K, etc.) can be followed up with QCF+MP and she'll be +3. Near the corner that puts her in throw range.

And I don't know if it's just my imagination or what, but I could swear that the last few years has seen a significant uptick in fan fiction written in first person compared to what there used to be before. I find that very curious and I wonder what may be the reason behind it.

Turns out I still think about them.

She is voiced by someone who I get the sense is not American, and seems to struggle holding an American accent for extended periods of time. It doesn't bother or anything because, well, I'm the same. But it is a bit curious to hear when the character is supposed to be a true blue FBI agent.

Oh, the main character is a black woman, which I find notable because I can probably count the number of games I've played with black female protagonists in ond hand. And I've played a *lot* of games in my life. I guess it's some kind of progress. Though I'm sure Alan will take over at some point.

Gameplay is still basic and mostly the same as it was in the first game (so far, at least), although there's a new mechanic involving clues and mystery-solving that is...a little more clunky and less imaginative than I had hoped. I'm hoping it'll grow on me as the game goes on.
