psst what's y'alls insignia tags?
i've not been on super often since XEMU performance is kinda spotty on my PC but i still sometimes check it out

tbh i actually quite like Hyperkin's remake of the Controller S, since it has brand new Hall Effect analog sticks but still feels like a Sidewinder era Microsoft controller

Puyo makes me feel like the dumbest motherfucker on the planet, IDK how good or bad Tetris is in the PPT games that's the one my simple brain can comprehend

yeah the weapon damage spreads in Mega Man 2 are kinda silly, shoutout to Metal Blade being just kinda the objectively best weapon in 99% of that game

glad to know that literally assaulting babies isn't enough for you to actually do something

Ironically what ArcSys for Guilty Gear Xrd basically was the same thing as KOF14 where they opted to just clean up and use the models they'd make as the base for sprites but ArcSys's models just look way nicer than SNK's and SNK no longer had the pixelation to hide the flaws and wack anatomy

TBH I think they could have taken the route ArcSys did for BlazBlue where they traced 3D models just like KOF12 and 13, but instead of placing every single pixel by hand which is insane they did vector art that they could scale to any resolution cleanly.

(I also have the hot take that 14's models look more like 13's characters than people like to admit but of course that just invites people to post the gif of the pants that sunk a company)

i have very mixed feelings about the KOF12/13 sprites because in a vacuum they're gorgeous but also there's a very good reason why people don't do pixel art at 720p they had to gut so much from the games to make it happen and I wish that they had stuck to their guns with the Neo Geo res sprites
