Just saw the announcement, another new Mega Man game babyyyyy, complete with a Robot Master Design Contest, that's some awesome news

A picture of the Scarlet Witch from the cover of The Uncanny X-Men, Issue 4, released March 1964. Art by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman. Despite having "Scarlet" in her name, in her first appearance, she is inexplicably wearing green.

A picture of the Scarlet Witch in her first appearance in the same issue, on page 4. Here, she is wearing red, as her name would suggest. Art by Jack Kirby, inked by Paul Reinman.

Anyone who knows more about coloring want to explain why on the cover of X-Men #4 (March 1964) the Scarlet Witch is inexplicably wearing green, while in the issue itself, she's wearing, well, scarlet? Was it just a miscommunication? Or is there some other coloring-related reason?

And increasing the fighting game comparisons, this issue also uses the word "zoning" in its pages

As a side note, this panel is from the same issue where Sue gets those barrier powers in addition to the usual invisibility, which surprised me because I thought that was still a few years off

An image of the Marvel Comics superhero The Thing, real name Ben Grimm, taken from Fantastic Four Issue #22, Page 1, released January 1964. Art by Jack Kirby, with inking by G. Bell. In the image, The Thing is saying "Nuts! I'm bored! Why do we have to hang around just 'cause our little ol' mad scientist wants to play footsies with Sue?" The joke is that "footsies" is a term in fighting games, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a Marvel fighting game planned to release sometime in 2026.

Also if Sue gets into Tokon but Ben is inexplicably left out, remind me to post this image

Today in my Marvel Comics binge, I read The Avengers Issue #3 (01/1964), so here's a fun fact about it: in the issue, every currently active Marvel super hero at the time makes an appearance, with the sole exception of Doctor Strange.

You get it

This is how I learn that Ghost Game is finally getting a dub, that's awesome!

Genuinely inspiring. Now I want to talk about all the fighting games I love too, especially indie ones like ROBO OH, Duels of Fortune, Wonderful World, Schwarzerblitz, MerFight, Sakura X Clash, Battle Craze, Kyanta 2, Uchu Mega Fight, E's Laf, and I guess Shadow Prisoner can be included too

Big fighting game fan who grew up with the original P4A, and yeah, P4AU is a great time.

As for Sonic Superstars, I clipped through the floor and softlocked the game once, then never bothered finishing it.

This is just the BitF gag with Kingsonnn Dededoo (also didn't notice until I was typing this up that I recognized you from your YTPs)

I love talking about obscure fighting games, so here's one move that has changed the chemistry of my brain! Every time this move is used, your next command grab is powered up, and it stacks infinitely until you land a command grab. (also shown: the command grab in question, more details in alt text)

Maybe one day God Mars will be in Iron Saga VS, but that assumes the devs have the money to make more characters than what they've announced (they just announced that Story Mode is getting delayed but to compensate the planned boss character will be added as a regular character in a free update)

Tell me about it, I got the HG Unicorn about half a decade ago, ended up putting a part in wrong and never bothered fixing it

The way I see it, Kyogre is surrounded by great designs

I got an SD Stargazer at a local hobby shop once (not quite retro but still 15+ years old), the backpack (and thus the giant ring attached to it) didn't fit so I haven't tried getting an SD kit since, hoping there are some better ones out there

I've been having a lot of fun with this massive game but it took me a while to muster up the willpower to get to that point because I'm too stubborn to do much else before finishing the story

No idea, but I've watched up until the time skip and thought it was pretty great

You've got me interested! Normally I have no faith in anime I've seen while they're airing because they always trip after the halfway point but I might check this one out.

Took Tom in to the vet today, looks like he's doing a lot better than I thought, so that's got me feeling better!

I remember when I brought my HG Z’gok to work one day just because I could

This game is so good guys please be there for one of the most fluid fighting games I’ve ever played when it launches on Steam

Well, two of them have “Tri” in them so yeah, I say you seem like a pretty three-oriented person.

My oldest dog Tom, who has been with me for over 14 years, probably doesn't have long left, so I'm going to spend time with him while I still can and take a break from the rest of the world.

New thing to put in my ever-expanding idea docs that I never do anything with spotted

I got through a few of the new Ode secrets, the new base game stuff, and Ante Chamber today but I’m tired now so I’ll do the rest tomorrow

The JMA0530(Model U) Wodom, a Mobile Suit twice the size of the average model nicknamed "Scarecrow" for its intimidation factor.

The G-M1F Bandit, a mobile suit excavated on the moon that could be remotely operated by the pilot of another Bandit.

The FLAT-L06D Flat, a mobile suit designed for the purpose of atmospheric re-entry.

The MRC-F20 Strike Unit for Maneuver Operations "SUMO", a lightweight yet powerful mobile suit. This particular color scheme was used by the SUMO piloted by royal guard captain Harry Ord, as the standard production model is more silver in color. All four of these mobile suits had their principal design done by Syd Mead, with cleanup by Atsushi Shigeta.

Syd Mead you say? I'm not the most familiar with his work, but his work on Turn A Gundam was very unique, so consider me interested.

I understand why the script is different, but it just feels too literal for my taste in places. Like, I get having an accurate translation is important and all, but having something that reads well to the audience the game is targeted at is just as important to me.

It’s nice to have this, because the new localization is my biggest complaint with the remake, not because it’s less accurate, if anything it seems more accurate, but just because it doesn’t read as good in English if that makes any sense.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me
