I'm not quite sure how that's relevant, but it's what came up when I googled "zong is a gigantic faggot".

And here we are again. Thought into post, bullshit in return. His creative license, me being opinionated, boo hoo fucking hoo. Stop defending Overture and Daisuke like a baby, when I wasn't trying to attack them. Panda asked why people don't play it. I gave him part of the answer from the perspective of someone who was a big Guilty Gear fan at the time - ie, part of the main group who would make or break the game - and I gave him my reasons for breaking it. Argue about Daisuke's ttly osum business and artistic decisions with someone who cares, because I certainly don't. He was largely responsible for its bombing and that's that.

oh god what have you done

Stay free indeed.

Yes.

Dunno why you'd even have tournaments for a game that's so broken that every character has an attack that just kills you in one hit that you can use from the start of the fight.

Dizzy has too many projectiles, why are people allowed to play as a boss character in tournaments anyway?

I called fuzzy guard in general a bug - which even most users of it admit it is, for example the guide for ABA using it on this very site - and I said the dust loop was, in my opinion, either a development oversight, or a bad move. WHY DOES ROBO KY'S COMMAND GRAB HAVE SUCH SHORT RANGE FFS THE DEVS MUST HATE HIM

Why? Doesn't change what people post. I just get retards like BBQ taking me out of context and somehow getting "mixup is cheating" from "Slayer's mixup is bullshit". If nobody's going to put effort into their replies why should I put effort into mine? Wait, I mean, JOHNNY DID A 100% COMBO HE'S S TIER MAN

And yet he dies faster. WUTS UP WIT DAT

Eddie is D-Tier because everything about him sucks, he's so slow, low damage, low health. And what the hell's with that down-to-forward move that just does nothing? What a useless character.

May's broken because she has a super that hits the entire screen, nobody else has that.

Wow, even when I'm blatantly, effortlessly trolling, I get the same replies as when I'm being genuine? That's cool. Guess I should just stop putting any thought into my posts since it'll just get the same replies. Alright let's see, oh I know, Sol's j.HS is overpowered because it's a normal that hits two times.

Tiger Knee-ing Badlands allows you to combo it into itself. Also you can thank Klaige here for asking me to post more often.

Well, I'm pretty much over Guilty Gear so the fanboyism is gone, and I own a 360, so I might actually be able to give a unique perspective into this question. I hated Overture when it came out, so, here's a few reasons. 1: Daisuke's handling of it. The way he said 'it's the game GG was meant to be in the first place' and the way he struck X onwards off the canon, was basically a complete "fuck you" to the actual current GG fanbase. 2: The characters. The only decent one (imo of course) was Sol, who really isn't that decent. Other choices? Generic sentient-weapon loli, two furries, two crossdressers, and I think they added Raven later right? GG's always had very eccentric characters but there wasn't enough for many people to find the kind of eccentricity they liked... Also in a cast of 7-8, 2 furries and 2 crossdressers is 2 too many in both cases. 3: The two genres (3rd person fighting and RTS) really don't mix. The RTS players generally want to have a big war, and the fighter players generally want to have a one on one fight. There are only a handful of people who are happy to play one of the fighter type characters and take on hordes of buffed enemies while the opponent plays keep-away, or happy to play the RTS characters and be mauled if the single player unit manages to get close to their own player unit. You COULD just play for the chance to fight people 'playing the same genre,' so to speak, but there were too few characters for there to be any diversity this way. 4: The fact that most GG players thought (and were right) that the creation of a 'proper sequel' in this style would mean the end of the fighting games. Boycotting it added a chance that Daisuke would drop the spinoff project and go back to fighters. I've said this before and I'll say it again; I'm sure Overture is a fantastic game if you're in the right niche, the same way GG was a fantastic game if you're in the right niche. The only problem is that it wasn't the same niche as the old games, thus erasing the entire 'guaranteed' fanbase, and the stigma around it made it too unattractive to a new fanbase to find its footing. The game would've had a much, much, much higher chance of succeeding, if it had absolutely nothing to do with Guilty Gear. Daisuke's insults and insistance that he have his baby and that his Mary Sue lived on had a huge role in its inability to succeed.
