My excuse for being so bad is that my brain refuses to accept such terms for fear I’ll cringe myself inside out

Super gem fighter is the best street fighter

Have you watched much pro fighting game coverage? I’m used to my mild-mannered Netrunner nerds, but these presenters clearly have absolutely no shame whatsoever about their choice of hobby and go unashamedly Full Nerd on everything. The setup for the CEO tournament this weekend was a wrestling ring. One of the lads was having the absolute time of his life as a wrestling announcer.

Have you seen Xross Dreams? It’s on my Steam wishlist. It’s like Super Gem Fighter, except every character is playing a different puzzle game.

Not a lot tbh. I can’t listen to anyone announce that someone whiffed their meaty with a straight face. I just can’t. I had to hand in my nerd badge and gun in protest.

Very nearly got back into Skullgirls but I cannot live with being that level of technical obsessive again. Used to spend hours gitting gud on that

Think that’s the game that made me buy SF6 after giving up on the tutorials (had it sitting around from a Humble Bundle)

It was unnecessarily serious for a cutesy aesthetic but if you took the many hours necessary you felt like a god

I think it got review bombed last year after an update took out some of the loli stuff or something. GAMERS.

fighters of street - what’s your control setup? I know SF is viable these days using a controller, but are you dpadding or using the stick?

for xbox i’m using an elite controller mk 2 and using Dpad. Stick can feel more fluid but I find I have a tendency to trigger accidental jumps when i’m eg trying to fireball
