@mightymothra.bsky.social posed this template to me, so I did my best. ❤ #メタルギア #MetalGear #MGS3

I don't think I've ever got a full combo before. Not only in RE4, but across all games to feature The Mercenaries, this is my best performance to date. Sustaining your combo when you're just frames away from losing it is really the greatest tension. ❤ youtu.be/mpVN0i5sYkk #バイオハザード #ResidentEvil

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

been doing a blind playthrough of ff3. i find the game's 'forced' class change mechanics annoying, so i decided to outplay them, sticking with classes that suit my characters instead here we see geomancer's earthen bell para'ing targets preventing the use of "divide"~ also a knight's protect set up

(Photosensitivity warning) In FFII, if a spell fails, the game just says "Ineffective" and moves on. But if it's blocked by Wall, the spell's entire animation plays, followed by "Magic blocked." For Toad, this means showing the enemy turning into a little toad, and removing it from the battle. . .

A birthday present for @fayeokay.bsky.social.❤

I think you got him~ I learned alt text works differently for videos, so I'll explain in the next post. Final Fantasy II is a funny game sometimes. ❤ #ファイナルファンタジー #FinalFantasy

i did the funny thing~ i'm in my white mage era fyi party is uniformly level 26, no save states were used.

Now that I've played Prodigal, my new favourite character is Revulan, the feared leader of an anti-royalist shadow government who lounges on a throne and kills you with lightning if you talk to her three times whilst infiltrating her evil lair. She's just like me, for real, I feel. ❤

Did the hardest thing the game will specifically acknowledge in a really fun game: Prodigal by @colorgrave.bsky.social ❤ All the details you could want in the video description. ❤ youtu.be/a4cFSLUYzjI

Very excited for this one. ❤ Colorgrave games are rock-solid, with the free-wheeling creative spirit of Treasure-esque "situation rush" games, lovingly written characters and world-building, exquisite music and pixel art... You name it. Probably my fave indie developer making things these days.

Never seen this character before, but Nebulon for Tōkon.

I've only played Curse Crackers (For Whom the Belle Toils), but I'm eager to start Prodigal as well. I love all the little OCs who only have an idle animation and two lines, but you can sense there's more to them in the creator's mind. Endlessly fascinated by Shroomella, the mushroom witch. 🍄

I agonised over the visual a bit, so I'll share it here, too. ❤

Comparing three ways to clown Galamoth, super boss of #Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Dual-wielding Crissaegrims: 271 frames Maxed-out (+999 ATT) Muramasa: 383 frames Shield Rod + Alucard Shield: 335 frames Measured from first hit to last. The bug demonstration at the end is just for fun. ❤

I thought the win pose in Sagat's trailer looked interesting, and then I realised it looked familiar... In fact, it's referencing this illustration from the first version of Street Fighter II. ❤ #Capcom #StreetFighter #StreetFighter6

A joint ad for TMNT TF and Vampire Killer, from the 1993/12 issue of Beep! Mega Drive. 「カメば、噛むほど」 "Kameba, kamuhodo" is a common expression meaning "The more you chew, the better it tastes." "Kame" can also mean "turtle," and "kamu" also means "bite," like a vampire bites. That Konami wordplay. ❤

I saw some people doing this: "Top Games of the Century So Far." Here are mine—in chronological order, since that's what makes my brain happiest. There are many eligible games that I want to play but have yet to get to, but this is what I have for now. I'd love to see more people's lists, too. ❤

Watch The Vision of Escaflowne. ❤

Less than a day left for #SteamSummerSale, but I saw someone asking for recommendations~ Listed prices are USD. I've played all these games and vouch for them. ❤

Alternatively: Running bulldog.

The combination of karate and basketball.

Suddenly recalled I drew this for a game of telephone four years ago. Just a normal horse.

Finally, an announcement worth getting excited about. youtu.be/Xy_ruUqa7fc

Parrying is the best thing in video games.

They should add Galaxy Quest and James Cameron Avatar so I can get all Sigourney Weaver characters.

I made this last June, when people were popping off about getting Harada to remark on a Waffle House stage in Tekken, and I couldn't let it go~ The question still comes up now and then, and Cohost is dead, so I'm posting it here as a public service. ❤ #WaffleHouse #FGC

I like this fight in particular, so I recorded myself doing it. Enjoy. ❤ #Bloodstained #Castlevania youtu.be/NPbS8vy0c10

I've never got to make one of these before. ❤

I'm playing through 1989 PC88 action RPG "Xak" and was awestruck by the music for the second boss. It doesn't seem to be on YouTube, so I laid the MP3 over an animation I captured of the boss's room. The credited composers are Tadahiro Nitta (新田 忠弘) and Ryūji Sasai (笹井 隆司). #chiptune #FMsynth

"Jack-O' pose" but I'm talking about this.

I made this to demonstrate the meaningful layout of the Character Select in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Maybe the most carefully arranged one ever. Cammy joined in a revision of Alpha 2, but she's placed where the groups for 2 and 3 meet. Even this feels intentional. #Capcom #ストリートファイター #StreetFighter

How I feel about it (CW: sexual abuse). I've also included some posts Oda made just before the reveal of City of the Wolves in August of 2022. They're bittersweet to read now. #FGC #SNK #餓狼伝説 #餓狼COW #FatalFury #FFCOTW

Izumi, the next character to be added to Under Night In-Birth II, was revealed today during the Arc World Tour finals. I can't wait to learn more about this character and her ability. #UNI2 #AWT2024 (This might be too subtle, so I'll just say it's a joke I spent too much time on to leave in DMs.)

Joe's new shorts in City of the Wolves. 嵐を呼ぶ男 ("the man who calls the storm") quotes his entrance in Fatal Fury 2. And when he beats Terry or Andy in Fatal Fury Special, he declares Garou Densetsu is now Joe Densetsu—"The Legend of Joe." Some deep cuts. ❤ #SNK #餓狼伝説 #餓狼COW #FatalFury #FFCOTW

Gamest #83 (January 1993) features a pre-final Player Select screen for Fatal Fury 2. Several small changes were made between here and the release build, and Mai in particular was redrawn completely. #SNK #餓狼伝説 #FatalFury #不知火舞 #MaiShiranui

Preecha's line for her Screw Archimedes Spiral (Level 2) evokes Joe's Bakuretsu Screw Premium in KOF XV. J: "Kurae! Ore no... Hurricaaaaaane!" P: "Kore ga watashi no... Hurricaaaaaane!" Already, the link between teacher and student can be felt. ❤🌀 #SNK #KOF #餓狼伝説 #餓狼COW #FatalFury #FFCOTW

There isn't much that needs to be said about a level three super, so City of the Wolves gets creative with the descriptions for these. I nearly cried when I read Terry and Rock's. ❤ #SNK #餓狼伝説 #餓狼COW #FatalFury #FFCOTW

Per the new trailer for Capcom Fighting Collection 2, it seems the collection will not feature Hiroaki Asai, the inimitable original announcer voice for Capcom Vs. SNK 2. That's disappointing. #Capcom #CVS2 #FGC

Not for any reason, thinking about the gag in the Brawl reveal trailer where the characters get their thrilling next-gen makeovers, but for Kirby there's no difference from before.

I made this last June, when people were popping off about getting Harada to remark on a Waffle House stage in Tekken, and I couldn't let it go~ The question still comes up now and then, and Cohost is dead, so I'm posting it here as a public service. ❤ #WaffleHouse #FGC

I've made a tier list of potential future DLC characters for Guilty Gear Strive, based on likelihood. Let me know what you think. ❤ #ArcSystemWorks #ArcSys #GuiltyGear #GGST #FGC

Thanks to Dream Cancel wiki, I learned the guard point on King's far light kick can be applied to Haō Shōkōken, like so. 🤭 #SNK #KOF #KOFXV

I'm glad they remembered Vice has to do that when she walks. ❤ #SNK #KOF #KOFXV

Elster can spot one a mile away. #Signalis

Someone asked for #SteamAutumnSale recommendations, so here~ I've played all these games and vouch for them. This is for the U.S. region, but the selection may translate elsewhere, too. There are about 23 hours left in the sale, but remember the Winter Sale will be here in just two weeks, as well.

Concept art of American Sports Team for The King of Fighters '98, from Neo Geo Freak #41 (October 1998). The only note on their footwear states Lucky's shoes should look like Air Jordan 9s. AJ9s were not the latest at the time, so the designer must have preferred them specifically. ❤ #SNK #KOF
