Everyone who plays video games knows what a hit box is. It literally has nothing to do with the story. Read more
I know what a hitbox is. My point was that hit box controllers are called hit boxes because the first company to get big with them is named Hit Box, even if they aren’t actually made by Hit Box. Kinda like how Kleenex has become a catch-all term for tissues. Read more
No, only two. Caba and Crossover, both from the Dominican Republic, qualified but the latter’s spot went to Pikoro from Peru due to visa issues. Read more
He’s very popular in the fighting game community. Read more
My apologies, got the character order mixed up. Read more
SNK has been pretty open to their characters appearing in other games, so slightly more possible now than ever before, but it’s hard to put any trust in Capcom’s fighting game division at the moment. Read more
It takes a ridiculously long time to definitively figure out who is “the best” and “the worst.” The tier lists we’re seeing have come after a relatively minuscule time with the game and are painted entirely by personal opinion, the region(s) in which players compete, and about a million other factors.

counterpoint: oh yes Read more
I almost went with that but was worried most folks wouldn’t understand. Lots of great fighting game players in the DMV, though! Read more
I can’t speak too in-depth on this but there were still issues. Many thought Bayonetta was a huge problem, for example. Some took to booing Bayonetta players and a bunch even walked out of the Evo grand finals because it was a mirror match (or a “ditto” in Smash terminology). Read more

This new game is a little too young to be having those kinds of discussions but it’s definitely something to… Read more
The scariest thing about SonicFox is that, yes, he’s naturally gifted, but he also grinds shit out. He has that incredible awareness in every game he plays that only comes from a ton of practice. That’s what makes him unstoppable. Read more
He’s living his best life and making crazy amounts of money playing fighting games. Hating on that seems a lot more “cringe” to me. Read more
The situation is complicated a bit by the divide between Panda Global being in the United States and Korean sources. You’re right in that it’s been a long time for a statement but I understand that there is a buttload of stuff to work through and the global barriers don’t make things easier. Read more
Fortunately, Toon Link is far from the worst choice in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He’s at least in the top 30 according to the community rankings! You could be stuck with someone like Ganondorf or Jigglypuff lol Read more
You understand these displays are for show, right? Like, they know how to shake hands. Look at some of the videos I posted. It’s just another facet of their rivalry. Read more
