Also, SO to Feng.

Props. Xiaoyu is >

Yeah, Beatdown was flawed as hell. The frequent and obscenely long loading times kicked my ass more often than the bad guys.

Joking aside, now that I think about it, it was actually pretty damn ambitious for it's time. Lots of content and interesting risks. Not many beat-em-ups had multiple characters with unique stories and so many customization options, an open world to roam in, dozens of characters to recruit to your gang, a faction and infamy system, side missions, hidden characters/weapons depending on how you progressed through the story, etc. I mean, it wasn't as ambitious as something like Steambot Chronicles (which I still don't know how Atlas managed to fit all that **** on just one PS2 disc), but still pretty cool.

I've gotta ask, though. What was your experience with God Hand like?

Ugh yes. The long load times and the small areas... just pure evil. I had a lot of tolerance for that kind of thing back then. Not at all now

A lot of interesting ideas, but sadly not carried out very well. Plus I always suspected it was supposed to have a much bigger city. Also kind of odd how there was functionally two figthing systems, since one-on-one fights played very differently (and really much better).

Terrible, sadly. I hated it. But I also had high fever at the time, so I probably wasn't in a mood to be fair to anything new. Generally, I haven't been a fan of games from neither Grasshopper og Clover studio.

Timetable of my experience with God Hand...

First contact:

Twenty minutes in:

An hour in:

After finally figuring out what the **** is going on, and learning the controls:

If you change the color of the lady's face on the first image to a sickly green, you've got my only experience with the game. Sadly never got to the Kate-phase.

I sometimes resort to lazy cheese tactics when playing Street Fighter 5 against a friend. It makes him so angry

My attitude about it is that if you can't overcome my cheese tactics in a well made, well balanced game - then you need to practice your game.

just whiff punishing with float drift back fair constantly

It really is a different beast. Brawl is still a very fun party game, though.

Jigglypuff, Donkey Kong, and Captain Falcon are my three amigos.

There's nothing like perfectly timing a Falcon Punch, or Jigglypuff's rest attack.

Everybody always laughs at me when I pick Jigglypuff

And then the massacre begins

People who play either Jigglypuff or Yoshi professionally are amazing to watch.
