Let’s learn Japanese Fighting Game Terms! #JapaneseFGCTerm #JPFGCTerm #43 taku [noun] 択 Options/choices. This word is used to describe mix-ups. For example, a two-way mix-up would be defined by adding the number two (ni) before the word. So “nitaku.”

I don't know why people are so hung up on player numbers. If I had a couple people to play who shared a similar passion, I'd be able to play that game for years. I spent the majority of UNIST/CLR playing one single person and it was enjoyable.

Sad to hear about CAG Osaka. I'm curious on why they suddenly ceased their fighting game division. Regardless, I hope Fenritti, Uryo and Eita find new homes.

Today I learned that YouTube allows up to 250GB videos. How did I come across this? I certainly didn't make a mistake in render settings, that's for sure.

These are probably one of my favorite things to watch during Only Mids. If you enjoy Xrd or good ol' fashioned highlight/combo videos, I recommend checking them out.

I finally got around to uploading the past Onlymids CMVs onto youtube. Telefu's "Sleep Is For The Peak" unfortunately got kneecapped so i threw it into a drive folder. Enjoy yall!

With the new EVO announcements, I am seeing a sea of comments like "But your government is as bad!" My gut reaction is that the people who are unhappy with the changes will also boycott an event if their govt ran it. It's not really a "gotcha" moment. Go support your locals!

It's so stupid that it worked. Creeping Edge is at times a funny move. #UNI2

Never thought I'd be hurt so much reading a reddit comment.

Manon

Funny cross-up anti-air bait punish. #UNI2_Nanase #UNI2

It's funny when you can guess the age group of the artist by the memes they use. This is quite and old one. I got a good chuckle.

I find these type of questions pointless. Worth is different for every person. It's free buddy, go try it out. If anything, the right question would be, "I want to try out the game. Can one of you play with me/teach me?"

Let’s learn Japanese Fighting Game Terms! #JapaneseFGCTerm #JPFGCTerm #36 haseiwaza [noun] 派生技(はせいわざ) Follow up moves. Some moves can have additional inputs to add attacks/movement options as a follow up. hasei = derivation/follow up waza = technique

I want to make a trailer comparison video for Alex but I don't have him for SFV T.T

Local-cord was talking about cool combos and missing TKs in the same thread, so it made me turn the game on at home.

Let’s learn Japanese Fighting Game Terms! #JapaneseFGCTerm #JPFGCTerm #35 takai [adj] 高い High/expensive. yasui [adj] 安い Cheap/inexpensive. In FG terms, this is often used to describe combo or punish damage. Ex: That reversal punish was "takai/yasui."

Seems like some people are upset that certain players got to try out Caitlyn. From the sounds of it, it seemed a like a few hour sneak peak type of thing. I don't understand the anger. I certainly won't be upset at people trying out a demo in an FG major that I couldn't attend. Envious? Sure.

happy National Milk Day <3

Yakuza 4 just crashed and I lost 30-45 min of progress. How does this game not have auto save? My will to play has been dwindling quite a lot for this series.

Much hype! The dopamine rush on doing combos you've never practiced feels so good in this game. The decision to go jPs was really nice. Also, never thought of going needle for the ender. I wonder if glide also works. Lots of cool ideas in this clip.

“Mugger!” Alex Heel

Got a good chuckle. As a side note, the community calls one of her lunging moves, "hair car" so the layering on this one is excellent.

Random thought after all these years: Katamari Damacy should have been spelled Katamari Damashii

tonight!

Fascinating. Jank, sure, but I'm more amazed at how people find these things.

Watching Tachikawa's SFV tournament and it feels weird when players are so close together after breaking a throw (got used to SF6). This got me thinking... would talking about different types of throw mechanics be interesting? I feel like it could be a good video.

During this time of year, I am reminded of that tweet where a Guilty Gear player talks about losing to a couple at the arcades on Christmas and feeling very sad about it. I cannot find it though. My fellow players, do you know what I'm talking about? I think it was from one of the JP Jam players....

Why is the SF6 update 55 gigs...

I was playing against someone in a lobby. After a few matches, they got up, typed "I'll be back" and then lined up on another cabinet. What the actual heck. Am I supposed to wait?

Let’s learn Japanese Fighting Game Terms! #JapaneseFGCTerm #JPFGCTerm #34 sukashi gedan [noun] スカシ下段 Empty jump low. Player jumps to threat an overhead but instead, lands without attacking to do a low. sukashi (スカシ) = whiff/empty gedan (下段) = low attack

Azami on okizeme is quite satisfying. (The last part isn't a bait. It's just Burst safe.) #GGXrd #GuiltyGear

Seeing people upset about lack of changes in the SF6 balance patch and calling the game stale is a bit weird to me. As a person playing a game that will never be updated and still enjoying it after years, is the game truly fun for you if it bores you within an year?

In case you missed it, here’s the Resshoumania V Opening video I edited. I’ve always had fun mixing guilty gear characters with real world settings, and felt it would work with the city funk vibes from the song. This was a lot of work to put together, but I’m super proud with how it turned out!
