https://youtu.be/Zk6G1S2fCjU Dissidia Final Fantasy's "How To Play" video http://cerberusblack.tumblr.com/post/116552130714/observations-from-the-dissidia-final-fantasy-how And a list of stuff that I noticed/thought was cool from the video, only linking to my blog because I don't feel like throwing a huge bullet pointed list at you and I have no ulterior motives of increasing my blog traffic :U

I wonder if this means they'll release a new Dissidia controller for the PS4 based on the arcade layout. And yeah, I certainly didn't expect Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja to be handling development. That fact alone has made a few people upset already. I couldn't care less about whether Tifa's boobs jiggle more than usual, I just hope they can make the game competent.

So who's hype for Final Fantasy Extreme Virtual On? I know I sure am.

I haven't seen any characters crapping out EX Force in the trailers, so I'm thinking EX might work a bit more like a traditional super meter system. Hard to say at this point, but any development that removes EX Cores is a good one.

I'm definitely keeping my eye on this, and I have some hope. The 3v3 format almost definitely means the removal of assists, which were stupid in Duodecim. They basically made the game all about whiffing moves/air dash cancels to build meter so you could punish dodges with Kuja/Sephiroth/Jecht. Made EX a shadow of its former self, too (RIP Gabranth). Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this game.

Pretty much any of the fighting games on the Nintendo DS that weren't Bleach Blade of Fate/Dark Souls and Jump Ultimate Stars. Special mention goes to the Naruto Shinobi Retsuden series. The teleporting system was busted as fuck. The game was also generally ass, but you get the idea. Runners-up would probably be KOF XII and Samurai Spirits Sen.

I made a video that may help people wanting to play Shadow Narukami. There didn't seem to be an obvious explanation of what's actually happening in S.Narukami's SR combos, so I took it upon myself to make that explanation. Not really sure how useful or necessary this video is, though. It may already be common knowledge, or maybe people just think that playing a Shadow that isn't Chie is likely not worth it. But I thought I'd put something out there.
