It's in the name; FAN-art. What's so hard to understand about that?

Then again, Harada can also lie out of his ass given Heihachi's resurrection, so make of that what you will.

People are sooooo desperate to have Tifa in Tekken (for good reason, I understand), but it's easy to forget that Harada said something about FF7 characters being expensive to license.

What with Sakurai just *barely* being able to bring Cloud for Smash Ultimate.

The fact that Astro Bot not only released after the monumental fuck-up that was Concord but also swept the Game Awards AND walked away with the GOTY award just adds insult to injury.

I mean… T8 isn't exactly a perfect game (very, VERY far from it), but compared to the other options (MVCC aside), at least it's a more conventional fighting game that we're familiar with when we think of the genre.

I find it fucking hysterical for the simple fact that Clive looks more out of place in Tekken than NOCTIS AND NEGAN ever did.

And that is saying a hell of a lot.

They're certainly full of surprises, I'll give them that.

On one hand, for folks that love Clive and FFXVI (a fine game in its own right), I'm happy for 'em. I really am.

On the other hand, though…? I thought Noctis was out of place in T7? Clive manages to be even worse about it to the point it's fucking *hilarious!*

The salt from it all is a bonus!

I genuinely don't understand people that treat fighting games like a job.
This is a hobby where you get to have conversations through play with friends and acquaintances. Trying to monetize that is poison.

IMO, a good fix to Homing moves is simply limiting their abundance - every character has like 4-5 Homing moves to use *minimum*, as opposed to like 2-3 at most.

Some moves like Steve's df+2 simply shouldn't even *be* homing moves to begin with lmao

You say that as if Low Parries weren't a problem in T7.

Imagine trying to poke your opponent with a perfectly safe ~-12 oB low only for them to low parry you into a combo that carries you to the wall aaaaand the round's over.

It says something even Capcom themselves referenced the movie in SF6 with M. Bison riding a horse, like Raul Julia's Bison did in the movie, in a painting.
