Show notes

Did Street Fighter 6 Have A Perfect Launch? Apr 06, 2024

Show notes

WITH THE WAY SO MANY FIGHTERS HAVE LAUNCHED, SF6'S LAUNCH SHOULD BE PRAISED! So many games have launched recently and not launched very well. People are complaining about Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8, and Under Night 2's PC Launch is being largely blamed for losing its PC audience in only a week! We should give credit to SF6 where credit is due! == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:03:09 First Impressions SO Important 0:04:35 City Of The Wolves TAKE NOTE 0:06:01 Microtransactions Are Inescapable 0:08:16 Credit Where Credit Is Due 0:11:48 Closing Thoughts Find the YouTube version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPvQmeGfRQ Get the audio version of this episode here: https://soundcloud.com/ultrachentv/guessing Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/ultrachentv Itunes - http://UltraChenTV.com/iTunes Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4nOFXvdcuJng3Y14qK3CVF Join the UltraChen Discord! https://discord.gg/VAmkUdp Please consider supporting our Patreon! http://patreon.com/ultrachentv Twitch - http://twitch.tv/ultrachentv Twitter - http://twitter.com/ultrachentv James Chen http://twitter.com/jchensor https://www.twitch.tv/jchensor #FGC #Esports #Podcast

Would Old School Players Stand A Chance In Today's FGC? Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

WOULD A PLAYER LIKE TOMO BE ABLE TO FIGHT A PLAYER LIKE MENARD? Ah the age old discussion. Are the greats from yesteryear significantly weaker than the greats from today?

Is There Too Much Guessing In Modern Fighting Games? Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

IS THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY GUESSING, OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? In the Modern Vs. Old Fighting Game discussion that's been permeating social media of late, one topic in particular keeps cropping up: guessing in Fighting Games. Many claim older games didn't have as much guessing involved, but is that really true? Is there something more to it than that? James explores this in detail. == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:01:46 FGs Have Always Had Guessing 0:06:19 Risk Vs.

Did Guilty Gear Strive Destroy Everything We Love About Guilty Gear? Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

ARE DEVELOPERS BEHOLDEN TO LEGACY PLAYERS?!? There is a lot of hate for Strive from legacy Guilty Gear fans. A recent article on Dexerto (https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/guilty-gear-strives-creators-had-to-destroy-past-games-to-keep-series-alive-2607380/) stated that Devs had to view Xrd as a failure that they had to "destroy" to make Strive.
