Highlight for Evo fo me was KoFXV, character variety with Wero, MadKOF, lacid etc. Close games with MadKOF v Wero, ET almost with the bracket reset. Might still have preferred Combo Breaker for more variety and Chino but still great. KoFXV wasn't full mirror finals with Xiao Hai rocking Kyo whilst ET had B Jenet. For the Kombat Kast Sindel looks sick being a lot of her MK11 and even some 9 with the crazy buffing her kameo, stunning or stealing opponents Kameos whilst taking their kameo bar, and burst baiting. General Shao too having a stance, some safe launchers and armoured launcher plus overhead low with hammer stomp looks amazing. Some of these characters feel like they're playing a different game like Johnny and Li Mei compared to say what we've seen with Scorpion or even Liu Kang.
I think the Darkstalkers ports from the Capcom Fighting Collection are actually perfect, but the same cannot be said for Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, that's why it's a real shame to lose access to 3rd Strike Online Edition, with the port being so perfect and the having so much charm. Great podcast doods!
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny had this weird mode called The Gauntlet where you made an OC and they traveled along with Hilde, Dampierre and Cassandra and fighting every single other character among other original characters and it taught you the game's mechanics. It was... interesting, but yeah other than that I think it was just an arcade mode with no endings and something along the lines of Tekken's ghost battle mode and that's it.
Speaking of the dozens of fans for obscure MK characters people totally definitely love un-ironically, I look forward to a bunch of “Don’t give a fuck bar guy” mains popping up and campaigning to Ed Boon to add said “Don’t give a fuck bar Guy” to future MK rosters and Boom in turn shitposting about them on occasional for the next decade. Hilarious and original content!
I know that the situation with TH-cam is a whole other beast, but just in general I think that Mk games should have a no blood mode, the option to change the color of blood, and a blur option for fatal blows and cutscenes. This would allow people who the gore has gotten to much for to play and likely help with TH-cam.
I really wish people would stop choosing sides and either blaming the MK content creators who rightfully want to monetize their hard work and get paid for their time and efforts as they should or blaming NRS for not finding a censorship solution that completely waters down the presentation of almost everything in their game to avoid the content being censored on TH-cam and people are pointing the fingers at TH-cam itself for their ridiculous censorship of the game! Literally nobody is doing this unfortunately. Nobody is blaming TH-cam and outraged at them for this issue but instead either shitting on the developers for not changing and censoring their own game to avoid TH-cam censorship or shitting on content creators just trying to make a living and not get there accounts flagged for uploading MK videos. Why shouldn’t we blame TH-cam instead and demand that they either change their policy when it’s obviously wrong or we will find a different platform whether it’s rumble or another competitor but actually do it and not be all talk! Of course they’re not going to change their policy when all the outrage is directed at everyone but them who are causing the issue but watch how quickly they will change their mind when millions of people leave their platform due to draconian censorship and millions of others follow in our foot step. Chances are that MK1 will probably sell nearly 20,000,000 copies and probably tens of millions of others will be watching MK content on TH-cam so do we really think we can’t get the ball rolling by just 1 million of us making a statement and leaving the platform to somewhere else who will not censor us? Sure, TH-cam is not going to be hurting from just 1 million people leaving the platform but it takes a very small minority to start a much bigger movement and they absolutely will change policy when they see those numbers and realize that it’s hurting their business 🤷🏽♂️ Great podcast btw 👌🏽
The SF6 finals at EVO were great, but the top 8s of KOF15 and Soul Calibur 6 were the most enjoyable to me in my opinion. Maybe because I'm an SNK fanboy 😂 sucks that the finals for KOF15 was mirror match though. Looking forward to Tekken 8!
It's probably because the entire roster leaked that they showed off a bunch of characters so unceremoniously (most of thise particular ones are fucking boring too so it made sense lol) Harada must be fuming because things have been leaking left and right since Bryan.
i think in Tekken tag 2 when you beat arcade as Heihachi his ending was him turning into Kuma because of this faulty potion he made to try to get devil powers
Maybe I’m out of touch but I thought the mk11 final was hype as hell. There was an entire story there with the twins from Chile and NinjaKilla’s big return to the stage.
I was bored at first thinking the twins were going to take it yet again, but then Ninja Killa went into top 3... definitely the best top 8 that I watched.
Regarding prolific fighting game guest stars, how about Spawn? Shows up in Soul Calibur 2 and MK 11. I mean, making an appearance in more than one game is enough to put you in the upper echelon, so I guess it's pretty much just Kratos, Link, and Spawn until Rash from Battletoads steps up his guesting game. Maybe TMNT if you include the SF6 avatar costume and Injustice, unless having their own fighting game disqualifies them from the conversation
I remember them saying that T6 and Broken Destiny were just gonna be released on PS Premium and that was it so those games getting re-release would be pretty insane
For Mortal Kombat 11 end credits, they showed fatalities and X-rays that had blood as gold colored. Couldn’t they technically allow players to switch the color on the fly? This wouldn’t affect gameplay and wouldn’t require much change at all.
I was mostly into Tekken (Tekken 7) during the previous generation, but right now SF6 is so good that I don't know if I have it in me to play Tekken 8 when it drops
Hopefully they change up that leaked roster... because... I hate to tell you Matt... Lidia wasn't on there. I really want her in there too. Especially since SF6 didn't give me Makoto.
I think Sindel's kameo manipulation moves would have been more according to Quan Chi. It will be interesting to see what he can do. And I also believe that I would like to have complete control over when I have or don't have the axe as Shao instead of it being on a timer, but we'll see how that goes when the game releases. I am still somewhat sceptical about the MK1 after how disappointed I endid up with MK11 and how boring the game is most of the time, for me anyways. But from what I played on the stress test I already had more fun and we just had 4 characters.
If Resident Evil/Biohazard is able to make a heavily censored versions for Japan and other regulated countries, I have no doubt NRS can do that as well for MK with WB Games' money. It all comes down to if they even want to put the effort to do that. It's not easy work. It's less about the copious amount of blood and more about the amount of mutilations in MK games that Japan and a lot of these countries have a problem with, as evident with how RE/Biohazard is in its home country. Blood and bodily fluids? Fine. Decapitations? Nope.
Honestly I'd like to see them have a discussion of top tier characters....when its valid to call a player good vs the character. All those mirror matches were hella corny
I remember when MK11 1st came out. And that's when everybody started changing their content. There are a handful of people who show it all. But then you don't make no money so sad face
Someone needs to rise up and actually compete with TH-cam. They treat viewers and content creators alike, like shit for no good reason. The whole adverisers argument is stupid as fuck. It's not cable, TH-cam isn't idly playing in a dentists office waiting room. No one is offended by the YT content they chose to watch so advertisers should learn to live with their ads being on the content their potential customers want to be watching.
Honestly, I genuinely find the SF6 games a bit boring (not totally) at almost all levels beyond folks that don't know what combos and all the complex modern systems that get introduced in these games. I genuinely think that it's a GREAT game for people who don't spend hours trying to learn what button to press after another for the best things. SF6 should get friends just having fun games against each other again. All of that said ... the million dollar tournament was great because there was a lot at stake. It wasn't necessarily making the actual gameplay more interesting, but the human drama, and watching Punk get Menat ... FINALLY ... that was amazing.
I felt the same way. At first when I was watching the finals, it was all hype to me, until I watched the KOF15 top 8. That and Soul Calibur 6 top 8 was probably the most hype and enjoyable to me.
I mean, NRS has notoriously bad animations that they straight up refuse to improve on since... forever, so I'll be very pleasantly surprised if Motaro is the ONLY character with busted animations 😂😂😅
@@dec2567 Mortal Kombat will continue to sell millions because of "FatALitIeS ANd BlooD ANd TetMinAtOr" there's no denying that, thing is, with all the money it makes and keeps on making, you'd expect that progress and the will to actually evolve and make the franchise better would be a bigger priority but it seems like it absolutely is not and it's kinda sad

The way max is blaming his recent uploads like sf6 getting flagged on mk1 is kinda dumb to me, that sounds like a TH-cam issue of not being able to decipher 1 type of content from another... which is the the same issue TH-cam had been having for YEARS now, maybe its the sexualization of the women in sf6, like stop this

Bro, Bloody Roar 2: The New Breed is such an incredible game. Definitely hype to see what MvsC3 / BR mix feels like. I hope they nail it!

I'm grateful to hear there aren't as many mirror matches as there used to be
If Kuma were to be possesed by Heihachi, Panda needs to be posessed by Kazumi
It's probably because the entire roster leaked that they showed off a bunch of characters so unceremoniously (most of thise particular ones are fucking boring too so it made sense lol) Harada must be fuming because things have been leaking left and right since Bryan.
As one of the world's few ganryu mains, I fear he won't make the cut in the upcoming game
tekken 8 waiting room
HD Remix DID get a physical release on Xbox 360 in the Capcom Digital collection along with a few titles like Final Fight Double Impact.
i think in Tekken tag 2 when you beat arcade as Heihachi his ending was him turning into Kuma because of this faulty potion he made to try to get devil powers
max pretending to not have seen the tekken leaks killed me lol
The closet thing to HD Remix having a physical release, is bwing included in the "Capcom Digital Collection" disc.
Hoping and praying that a rerelease of an old Soul Calibur game will include good modern netcode.
Oh shit I forgot about Hornbuckle😂, made me remember Nimbus, that secret bullshit character EGM made up for Mortal Kombat.

The reason Shujinko looks so much like Shang Tsung, is because it's Cary Takagawa. Aka, 90's Mortal Kombat movie Shang Tsung, aka, MK11's Shang Tsung.
For Mortal Kombat 11 end credits, they showed fatalities and X-rays that had blood as gold colored. Couldn’t they technically allow players to switch the color on the fly? This wouldn’t affect gameplay and wouldn’t require much change at all.
