Might actually have this done by tonight. We'll see.

Always a pretty hilarious time when you look at system mechanic changes between fighting games and can instantly tell which ones were meant to put certain characters and moves into the dirt

Up way too late getting editing done. Just finished out the Tatstunoko Vs. Capcom section of Morrigan's video and so far we're up to 55 minutes, with Marvel 3 and Marvel Infinite still to go.

This is easily going to top Dante as the longest video I've ever worked on, damn

I hate how much I relate to this lmao

lmao have a good time out there man

Unironically one of the best to ever do it

Yeah, I don't know if it's the pacing or the game taking long to really ramp up, but Galaxy 1 always struggled to keep my attention. 2 on the other hand, has more complex level design from the jump and feels more engaging.

Both are great, but 2 is becoming one of my favorite 3D platformers period

Yeah, that definitely tracks. It really is interesting seeing this dev team kind of evolve from Galaxy onwards, I can even see the makings in Galaxy 1 & 2 of design sensibilities that persist in Bananza

And as someone who's Mario Top 10 includes 3D Land and 3D World, it's so interesting seeing Galaxy 2 particularly as the genesis of those games' approach to 3D Mario level design

Mario Galaxy 1 was always a weird game for me because it's objectively good, but parts of it kind of bored me and I'd always bounce off of it after a while

Galaxy 2 though? Playing it for the first time and this is clicking with me WAY more. I know it started as an expansion but this shit is FIRE.

Asking the real questions

Mario Galaxy 2 is so good man wtf

Oh damn, these were INCREDIBLE

Got the standard ending for Galaxy. Always respected Galaxy even though I'm more of a 3D World & Odyssey guy, but this time something finally clicked for me. Looking forward to getting the other stars, not looking forward to doing it again as Luigi

Galaxy 2's gonna be new for me so that'll be fun!

I bought Galaxy 1 & 2 on Switch primarily to be able to play them on a standard controller, but I think this might actually be the first Switch release ever where I prefer playing with split joy cons instead

Just a small reminder that the first 30 minutes of the Morrigan video is available for Patreon subscribers! Full video should be out by the middle of the month.

Only just finished editing the MvC1 portion of Morrigan's video and already at 25 minutes and counting on video length

...this is definitely gonna be one of the longer ones

Really glad to see Metroid NES as the centerpiece of this discussion. Zero Mission is really, *really* good, but I think NES Metroid being a much lonelier game with a bit more openness (even compared to sequence breaking in ZM) still lets it stand out postively today, dead end rooms and all.

Wait, there's a separate one from the one you get for 1000 points? Diabolical work

Congrats!

Got Crossworlds today and I'm gonna keep it a buck with y'all

That Morrigan video might be pushed back a few weeks, I am LOCKED IN on this game holy hell

This is maybe going to sound weird, but I'm kind of okay with views on YouTube being down as a whole lately because it helped me finally internalize that I'm not making entirely too long videos about fighting games for the ad revenue or the exposure

I do this shit for the love of the game, baby

I LOVE that Sega finally lent Smash some composers. Jun Senoue doing a Mega Man 4 arrangement and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi doing a Daytona USA styled F-Zero medley seem like the kind of thing that should've happened ages ago, particularly the latter

Smash Ultimate secretly being an officially sanctioned Mega Man, Castlevania and SNK arrange album is one of the best things about it

Everyone talks about how wild the Smash Ultimate roster is for good reason, but I don't think it gets enough credit for how fucking wild its lineup of composers/arrangers are

Like wdym the person that remixed Bramble Blast and Let's Go to Seoul is the goddamn Wild Arms composer? Holy shit

🤞

They've gotta bring Rick back one of these days man

Thought this was going to be a SiIvagunner style shitpost but this is so much better lmao

Yeah, I honestly think that's a big part of it. Don't get me wrong, there's *very* valid reasons to poke fun at the sprite's tenure, I just think it's funny that people zero in on the one part that's factually incorrect lol

Yeah, this is pretty much my stance as well.

That said, I do think the jump to 480p hurt a lot of the CPS2 era sprites in CvS2; I personally think Morrigan came out the other end of that better than some of the Alpha characters
