Who's putting up the most pro footage atm? SRK seems completely void of feedback so far.

Is it that technical to warrant pro play? Wasn't aware.

I guess best starting point is the invitational from E3 treehouse last week

Used their website contact page and sent them a tweet, of course met with silence. What is it with companies just doing fuck all? I'd be ok if they just said "yeah sorry, it'll be dispatched on x". Saying hee haw in return just annoys further.

Edit: @andy

I hit 'send' on a tweet to Very, and a Yodel girl pushed it through my letter box. That's service.

This is a lot of fun, not down with having to click left stick to block though.

You not worried about that bitch overheating?

That's no way to talk about his wife.

Wow, thoroughly unpleasant. Please don't joke about my wife that way again.

 

It's not even on me, but gee, Reg... What the fuck?

Yeah.... they're not fans, but Valles' on the Ninty payroll, so that will change.
He's planning to put it on his regular WNF event next to the SF5 stuff.

For now, there's a fair amount of good stuff on Youtube.

Oh... You're incensed at something. 

But when you realise I was clearly talking about Reg taking the Switch outside in this heat, and that Dante's merely working an opportune gag, Reg's response just seemed a little disproportional to me.

I won't sweat* it in this weather.

*Ahem...

I'm not incensed either I just don't like my wife being referred to as a"bitch" in a jokey context or not. It might surprise you but I married her because I like her quite a lot.

Don't think there's anything outrageous in my response - I even put a "please" in there.

There was no joke about your wife, there was a convenient joke which just suited those words. Taking it in any way as offensive is just silly. I made a joke about Dino's mother but who's offended? He came out of an egg probably so doesn't even have a real mother.

The Switch's only been out 3 months... You can't have made that commitment already, Reg ...No matter how much you like Ninty...

Ach, some people are just too sensitive. Anyway, Arms is ok.

Played this again last night.  Still enjoying it, still a bit shit.  I tried doing the training stuff, but was hopeless at both the throw blocking (I fear my reactions aren't what they used to be) and at blocking in Twintelle.  

Meanwhile, the ongoing battle between myself and my daughter to see who is best/least rubbish rages on.  She had an early, and uncharacteristic controller throwing moment having spent ages refining her skills whilst I was at work, only to lose to me spam jumping with Ribbon Girl.  But by the end normal service was resumed and she destroyed me with her standard Ninjara warping nonsense.   (Shakes fist)

Yes.

Maybe?

There's not a lot of content at the moment (though supposedly more to come).  The suggestion that it is to fighters as Mario Kart is to racing games is overly generous, but does give you an idea of what it's like.

I haven't played that much yet (haven't taken it online at all so far), but in my household it's the local multiplayer that has taken off.  Pretty much anyone can understand the basics of it (my wife has never played a fighting game in her life, but got it straight away), but there's definitely a lot of scope for becoming more skillful.

The motion control seems to have put a few people off, but for me is pretty much the selling point.  Unlike, say, Wii Sports, I absolutely feel like it's responding to my actions (sometimes I wish it wasn't). The fact that you're actively punching, means local multiplayer feels a lot more involving and engaged.  (I mentioned before that my daughter has started adopting all sorts of poses when she pulls off certain moves, without apparently even being aware she does them..)  For others, I suspect the buy or don't buy question will be all about the subtleties of the game as a fighter - but for people like me who are never going to be a high ranker, the question is whether or not it's fun.  And when there's two of us punching the air, and shouting at the screen, yes it is.

But.  That particular experience requires an extra Joy-Con which is a lot to spend on a single game, particularly when it is fundamentally so slight.  There's no story here, nothing to explore or consider.  Just you, your reflexes, and a bunch of brightly coloured people to punch in the face.  If that's enough for you, then it's great.  If not, it might be worth at least waiting to see what the DLC brings.

I genuinely don't understand how that comes off as offensive, it's a boilerplate forum joke. I'm sorry that it's caused offense, but am confused as to why it did.

I bought a pro controller for it but the motion controls are way better.
