This looks cool now but is it cool after the 100th time? Or is it just annoying.

And if we must, can we adopt the Granblue method of “if this is killing then the animation is cut short” ?

It’s also stupidly unbalanced in SF4 cause Metsu Hadoken was short and tolerable and Space Opera Symphony was about the length of a KoF combo super but then you had some REALLY long ultras all in the same game.

We’re stuck with them now but I humbly request devs to ask the question…

The subscription part is what is driving me insane here like what do you mean?

The funny thing is that the old demo looked less HK in visuals even though you could feel the inspiration.

The Next Fest I played the demo of this in was SO FILLED with Hollow Knight copies it was insane

Following the development of this is lowkey very funny, in terms of trying to be Silksong before Silksong released while already in a sea of Hollow Knight mimics.

But then Silksong released.

It’s ridiculous to think anything positive will come from it. Hell the whole mindset behind “GTA 6 will cost $100” is a brace for the iceberg the AAA titanic is gonna hit.

I think the modern ninja girl is an original

This comes with the incorrect idea that all team games satisfy the same niche. mvc2’s flavor is very different from mvc3, but you could play mvc3 over dbfz, however mvc1 is drastically different but mvc: i is a mix of that and its own thing, then you have bbtag which probably closest to 2XKO.

that's kind of the rub isn't it? the christo facism is in your face, neoliberal facism is more subtle and tries to build itself up slowly and quietly and by the time you notice, it's a bit too late.

A survey of 1,012 adults in a country of over 300 million people what an EXCELLENT sample size 😒

I’m down to give Zelda 2 its flowers

Great article but I have to maintain my position of standing up in the audience just to say

Boss this, 2 damage that. I think White Palace/Path of Pain platforming should be an exception and not the soft rule Silksong makes it to be, that is all.

Doable? Yes. But so not what I play the genre for.

different opinions whether I agree with them or not

yeah dang they might start resorting to violence against people of color, or start posting up troops in cities, or start working on removing people's rights, or straight up start snatching people off the street and stuffing them in vans to carry them off into camps

we gotta be real careful here!

Wait describing Metroidvanias this way goes kinda hard
