Dead Horse Interchange

Ugh, 3 new Livestreams the day before. But I'm too tired. Maybe next week, or once the month is complete.

In other news, THE LORD HATH RISEN!
As has his Sancho Panza riding his coat tails

Oh boy, we're getting @TheSpoonyOne's hot take on a game from 7 years ago. I can't wait on his 2 cents about the robot chainsaw waifu!

>can I skip the story mode?

Has there ever been a fighting game with a mandatory story? I'm not even sure you even unlock anything with the Tekken 7 one.

>Mortal Wokebat, Smash Troons, Peggen, Soy Calibur

Impeccable taste. Has she ever touched a game with anything more complex than a hadoken input?

Spoony ignores the Hog as much as MarzCunt ignores him.
If he wants to chain a pasty white landwhale to a pipe in his Miles' basement and love her his way so bad, is a disgusting wart growing on her mug instead of her arm really that much of a difference?
Just make Rachel wear a peach colored wig and Lupa's clown makeup.

Whoah! Hadouken is way too hard. I always main Guile for the Sonic boom :3

The amount of (((work))) it takes to learn the most basic moves with a Tekken character is already more than Rachel has done in her entire life.

She'd just button-mash and hope for the best.

This explains why she loves Bing Bing wahoo brawler Bros.

I see cuckson's Tekken copy finally got redeemed by boss. Also I ironically just bought Tekken because it was $6 and a friend wants to teach me to play. I can see why people play on pad because KBD on stick seems impossible right now.

I've also recently reverted back to using a pad for 2D fighters. My new gamepad's analogue stick just isn't really doing it for inputs. Especially diagonals can be a bitch to register.

I went for a hitbox instead. No, electrics aren't trivial with that either, you'll just immediately realize why they are so fucking difficult on stick.
The timing is so ultra precise and not at all DP + punch. It's DP and immediately after punch. A small distinction but a fucked up one, because the punch input is so very close but not exactly on the forward input, which is infuriatingly difficult to learn on buttons.

How close is it? It's not simultanious but yet so close after it that you need to hit punch before the sound of the forward button arrives. So, faster than the speed of sound, yet delayed. That fucked with me so much.

On the other hand, 720s become almost trivial. Like typing a word you've typed thousands of times and could do asleep. Way faster than churning the butter.

Anyway, learning a character doesn't mean shit in Tekken. If you don't know the matchup, you'll get juggled like you've never touched a game before.
