Man, McLeodGaming sure has been letting some of their biggest contributors/fans show off the upcoming SSF2 Beta to the public.

Ya know what would be better? Releasing it to the general public.
Yeah I wanna know all the unlockable characters!

Damn it, why do I always miss the big stuff. :p Though I'll be honest, the teaser kind of sucked compared to the MvC3 one, but whatever, I could care less about that, I just look forward to the gameplay.
Yeah, MvC3's trailer was better, but this one showed Mega "My *****" Man X. There's so much more I'm excited for, even if I'm worried about the likely lack of X-Men.

Is Central Highway gonna be a stage? What kind of songs will the new characters get as themes? What are Mega Man X's and Captain Marvel's moves? Will Web Swing be QCB again?

Oh, whoops, turns out I didn't watch last week's episode of Izetta after all, I thought I had already watched ep9 lol
So I finally caught up with it and damn, things really have gone to hell
I still dislike how Germania is depicted as completely evil and no characters from there have any sympathetic characteristics at all
Izetta is not going to survive to the end of the series

"I intended to break that non-aggresion pact when I signed it"
I love how this is the one thing they kept completely accurate to its real world counterpart lol
It'd be cool if it turned out Sophie can't withstand the cold and loses because she attacked Russia during winter

I already know that it's unlikely, but can Strider Hien have his chance to fight Hiryu again for old times sake?

It's raining catfish and dogfish!

Alternatively, someone just electrified the Asian Carp again. They jump pretty high sometimes.



Fishing will hopefully be fun. Those are some really, really pretty fish. I like watching them flop around.

. . .Maybe the couple of them that look like they're dead in that GIF were hit by the chest when it dropped, LOL.

Oh yeah, that reminded me to look up whether or not he was avaible in M.U.G.E.N.

Which turns out he is, so that'll be a nice addition.

Not going to happen for a couple reasons.

1) Strider is not big enough to warrant multiple characters
2) Hien arguably missed his boat for the 2014 reboot while the Kuniang sisters returned.
3) People would accuse him of being a Strider clone despite having different weapons and character
4) Hien is popular, but Ton Pooh's popularity is much bigger (mostly due to being in the series since the first game).

Sorry, but this pretty boy is completely unlike for Mahvel.

If they ever make another Strider game though, I hope he's in it. Heck, even as an alternate costume I'd be happy.

(Actually now that I think about it I wouldn't mind him as a Strider alternate in MvC either.)

I can already imagine the complaints about overrepresentation if both Hiryu and Hien get in.

Also, one could argue that Darkstalkers isn't big enough to have 3-4 characters like in MvC2 and 3.

Darkstalkers was considered lucky at the time since they ported a ton of stuff from other fighting games (notably Street Fighter and Darkstalkers) for MvC2's roster. If that didn't happen, Anarkaris and Baby Bonnie Hood wouldn't be there. We know for sure Demitri didn't happen since Midnight Blissing a roster of 50 would have been a nightmare for the spriting team.

Not sure what to say for Marvel vs Capcom 3, maybe it's because people want more Darkstalkers over any other more obscure series at the time. We know that Jon was heavily wanted, but he couldn't make it for unknown reasons. Having a male Darkstalker in the game easily would have balanced out that hot dog bun fest (Not the whole roster, but the overall Darkstalkers representation there).

Still kind of salty they left him out of the reboot. I guess it was to fulfill that Strider 1 nostalgia.

And how would he be a clone? Ton Pooh looks almost like Chun Li (if not, she possibly inspired her) and casuals would call her a clone at first glance.

Don't know if it was posted, but here is some B-Roll footage of the Crash N.Sane Trilogy.

Jolly Nature
Brave Bird, Roost, U-Turn, Wild Charge
--
Kartana@Focus Sash

--
Greninja@Life Orb

EVs: 252 SpA, 4 Def, 252 Spe
Modest Nature
Water Shiruken/Ice Beam/U-Turn/Dark Pulse

I am still working on my Doubles team but it'll have Tapu Koko, A-Raichu, Pelipper and Kartana.

I'm late for all the Sony news.

Am I the only one that thinks Crash looks a bit... off? It's definitely the most accurate model to the originals we ever got, but something about him just looks wrong to me. Glad to see they're sticking close to the originals while pulling the best from each, though. As someone who never grew up with the series and only recently played through all three games, I'm really hoping they lean more towards Warped since that's the only one I actually enjoyed. Doubt I'll dig out the PS4 to get the games though.

Now what would make me throw all my money and go into debt would be a MediEvil 1 and 2 remake, Sony please.
Or at least Spyro remakes?

True, but then again it wasn't too unwelcome considering that Darkstalkers is a fighting game franchise after all.(Meaning you don't even have to come up with an entire new moveset.) I mean, Morrigan was even in CvS2 after all where she was the only character out of place.

Not to mention I find representation to be overrated anyway, especially when it comes to characters outside of the big juggernauts(But even this rule has its exceptions, such as Megaman and Zelda. Metroid so much so that I just edited it in right now.), once you're out of that tier it seems to be more so based on character potential in a franchise. Or most importantly, whatever the developers themselves see as a good choice, really, that's all it comes down to for whatever reason.

Would anyone who has Sun be up for trading some version exclusives? Pretty much everyone I know got Moon, haha.
Sure thing if no one else wants to, I'll wait since then I've already promised quite a bit of people that I'm going to trade exclusives with them.(Man I'm a bit too generous sometimes.)

Which is why he has pretty much no chance of ever being added unless Midnight Bliss is taken out. Sorry, Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen .
That's one of the things I miss about sprites, I mean, it's pretty simple to just make one sprite (or a few depending on the game) out of hundred of already existing sprites that each character has.(Well, usually anyway.) But in a modern 3D game you'd have to make a completely new model.

I kinda noticed the thing about Crash too. I think the problem is that his belly fur blends in too much with the rest of him, and I think the fur in general is a tad too realistic. And in general, the colours in the game look a bit washed out, they should bump up the colour saturation a bit.

Other than that, it looks amazing, as does Crash himself. And regarding making it more like Warped, I think that is what they are doing. All of the footage so far is of Crash 1, but he doesn't seem as slow or heavy as I remember in that game, he seems more like Warped. Also, they are adding the Time Trials from Warped to the first two games, so that's awesome. This will be a huge game with a lot to do.

Also I would die for Spyro remakes.

Don't look at me, think about how the fandom would react. I loved Strider 2 and know that he can be different. It's the problem of both characters sharing the same rank and having similar outfits (even though the colors are different) that might trigger the clone response. Here's a shot from M.U.G.E.N. that capitalizes this.


And yes, while it may be true Ton Pooh is the "predecessor" of the more famous Chun Li, both characters at least look different enough with their outfits. Even even their martial arts are heavily different.



I don't think Li can pull of Pooh's Back Kick technique and the former can do a Kikoshou. The differences between these two are drastic enough visually compared to Hien vs Hire.

First of all, the amount of work needed isn't THAT much, and second, PXZ2 had Dimitri able to use it on anything, though instead of doing the...Traditional thing, it was essentially Ganondorf's Flame Choke
