Original interview quote from 4gamer: 小野氏： 　スパIVのコンソール版って，僕は悪くないバランスだと思ってるんですが，その中でちょっと未練があったのは，全体的に丸くしすぎたんじゃないか，という部分です。あれが強いとかこれが強いとかって，微妙にはあるんですけど，明確なヒール役が居なくなってしまった。 Yes, he very much used the word "heel". Ironically, Raiden in KOF13 fit this perfectly, in gameplay and in story.

"haha why do people in team games send all their scvs to your base when they die. who am i oskar schindler get the fuck out of here. "

Some observations from Fight Club Chicago: " - Doom/Dante's missles are overheads. And they are assists. So overhead assists. Hooray unblockables. - I have yet to see an unsafe special move that isn't Shoryuken. - Push blocking pushes them anywhere from half to full screen depending on if they were grounded or not." MvC3 new age of hype

Ono: "I think the balance of SSF4 on the home console wasn't too bad, but if there was one thing that I regret, the game was a bit too well-rounded. There were some moves that were relatively strong, but in the end, there weren't any strikingly heel characters because of that." 4Gamer: "Like Sagat in vanilla SF4?" Ono: Right. So we're touching the game, and adding more of that kind of inbalance. We want to purposely add in things that are like, 'Huh? This's been weakened, what am I supposed to do?', and, 'If I use this character, people might think that I'm just picking it for its tier'. ONO IS AWESOME

bioshock infinite traded water for airrrrrrrrrrrrr i'm still waiting for them to take the respawn chamber mechanic from bioshock 1 and make it the core plot and gameplay element

If you have a stopwatch lying around, all you have to do is push the button on it twice... considering all the junk that most people already have laying around their computers, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch. Besides, all the timer says is the time; if people are reading so far into it that delaying an attack by 2 min can ruin them, then that's their fault for chaining all their thinking to the clock. Actually, that sounds hilarious. For beginners practicing build orders, it's definitely a good thing; think about how the only other way to see if their starting fast enough is to run a practice game, do whatever it is, exit the game, and then load the replay... or keep a stopwatch nearby. But then again this is coming from the Quake days where quad damage and rune respawn timers eventually became standard features in competition play.

So when you play with a clock on the table, it's OMGHAX?

Valken-whatever's Beast gauge should be measured in Sapp Time.

So this would involve being in either Phoenix or Toronto, Mike? (i'm sure i could just look up which team is the home team but i'm too lazy)

http://shoryuken.com/content/yun-yang-s-ultra-attacks-high-quality-video-1868/ SF4 themes: - Fei Long introduced in console version of vanilla SF4, has abortion punch ultra - SSF4 revision gives dic an abortion punch ultra - Yun's SA1 in SSF4AE looks like an abortion punch ultra

LURE IT INTO THE OVENS

That thing looks like it could've been a stand in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Meanwhile, Genosect is here to kill you all.

So the mad stacked Shounen/RF/Ogawa team won GGAC... with RF anchoring the final game! So as long as Faust is paired with top tiers played by top players, Faust can win tournaments!...... T_T MB's winning team contained Akiha. BB's winning team was not a Bang/Litchi team! Instead it was Taokaka/Litchi team. Guess a cat is fine, too. Dio nowhere in sight in top 4.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E-SjxQpHYI Raiden wins SBO KOF13. One of the things about KOF that I always thought was funny was how AA CH j.CD puts opponent into juggleable state. It seems in KOF13, ANY AA CH puts opponent into juggle state, whether it's j.D or standing A. Has that always been true in KOF? Raiden's seemingly safe meaty/throw wakeup trick seems awesome good; how come nobody else is doing that? Then again, when I think about how much damage Ein Trigger frame traps can score, I guess it makes sense to go for that instead.

That's because they're INFIDELS

Hey, McDonald's proved to use over a decade ago that frying things in animal fat leads to tasty results. Never forget the uber controversial beef tallow fries!

Church's fried chicken is good in that it's fried chicken, which is one of those things that just tends to be good unless something horrible has happened, e.g. burned. Popeyes chicken is supposed to be actually good... or as good as fast food fried chicken can be.

Popeye's chicken is totally ethnic! If you tried to feed that to some mainlanders they'd probably go "wtf is this shi*"

So K' in KOF13, doing an Iron (Ein?) Trigger is like a frame trap to do another one of the same. I don't know if that's awesome or terrible.

Real heroes: RF - Occupation: convenience store worker Kindebu - Occupation: service industry (so anything from a waiter to an administrator) Momochi - Occupation: ... Momochi also says that he likes reading and playing slot machines. I'm going to bet he's a NEET.

I'd wager it's either a Monster Hunter or Lost Planet iteration.

Devil Mary-Sue Cry Shadows of the Damned looks largely uninspiring except for the vending machine that says ASSASSIN on it. Grasshopper has one of the most creative audio teams around, but the trailer didn't give off any of that. I'm not holding out much hope. A thing about the first Red Dead Revolver is that the game was pretty much canned by Capcom. Rockstar picked it up and finished it off and published it, and then went on to make RDD some years later. Maybe after Capcom finds competence in BCG in making an openish world game, that they'd be happy to have a Western studio provide the development expertise on it?

Speaking of dreidels: "Dreidel is now a competitive sport being played in North America. Major League Dreidel (MLD), founded in New York City in 2007, hosts dreidel tournaments during the holiday of Hanukkah. In MLD tournaments the player with the longest Time of Spin (TOS) is the winner. MLD is played on a Spinagogue, the official spinning stadium of Major League Dreidel. Pamskee is the 2007 MLD Champion. Virtual Dreidel is the 2008 MLD Champion [5]. In 2009, Major League Dreidel launched a game version of the Spinagogue and MLD tournaments and original games are now being played around the country during Hanukkah[6]. In December, 2009, Good Morning America published a story on Dreidel Renaissance due to the popularity of dreidel on the rise.[7] Several new dreidel games have come out on the market since 2007 including No Limit Texas Dreidel[8], a cross between traditional dreidel and Texas Hold'em poker, invented by a new Judaica company called ModernTribe.[9]" "Spinagogue" is the most deliciously funny word I have heard in quite a while. It sounds like a place where DJs would compete while ecstatic onlookers ghost ride their whips.

When the stick transformed, I was totally watching it frame by frame to see if it really did turn into a dreidel or if I was just imagining things.
