Cheers chaps.

That was great to watch. Although I hope getting into fighting games dosn't turn me into the guy playing Dudley.

Got up to challenge 16 with him. Stuck for half an hour getting the timing right on the link from crouching medium punch to jet upper then did it. Time for bed.

If you fancy sticking with fighting games for a while, you could look into getting an arcade stick. You can pick up some reasonable sticks fairly cheaply these days.

If you've never used one before, it won't have immediate effects, outside of alleviating thumb pain.

They take a period of time to get used to, but most people find them to be beneficial in the long run.

As far as Aris goes, he said some dumb shit, apologized for it, went away.

Did he really apologise, though? Last time I checked he'd done the old politician trick of "I'm sorry if anyone was offended", which isn't really an apology when you think about it.

Aris situation, I need to rewatch the video, but I watched the first half at lunch and there was nothing in there, Miranda appears to be laughing along with it?

She's clearly really uncomfortable, though. It's the kind of laughing someone does when they don't know what else to do.

MY SECRET SHAME!

I confess, I confess, I hate women! I hate them, I was traumatised as a teenager when I asked the hottest girl in school out on a date in front of everyone at lunchtime and she laughed in my face and then everyone started pointing and laughing and they shouted 'AHAHAHA LOOK AT ROUJIN HES GOING TO CRY LOOK WHAT A GAY! AAAAAAAAH GAYLORD! GAAAAAAAAAYLOOOOOOORD!' 

Ever since that day I vowed that I would live out my days as a petty mysonginist. My prejudice runs so deep I never use female characters in videogames ever. In fact I wont even buy a game if the lead character has boobs. 

The only reason I have a picture of me and Kayo Police is because she is a dude.

Yeah he put out a written apology afterwards,

"I understand that I said some controversial statements on the Cross Assault show, and a lot of people are deeply offended with what was said. When I made these statements, I was very heated as I felt that the culture of a scene I have been a part of for over 15 years was being threatened. I unfortunately used extreme examples in the heat of the moment and feel that my statements don’t actually communicate how I feel. This is similar to what people say when they get into an argument with their girlfriend, and they say things that they deeply regret. I sincerely apologise if I have offended anyone. My statements do not reflect those of Capcom or myself. The last thing I want to do is get them in trouble for giving me and the fighting game community the opportunity to have an amazing show like this.

What I was trying to communicate is that mild hostility has always been a defining characteristic of the fighting game scene. Back when arcades were more prevalent, people didn’t like newcomers, and players needed to fight and pay their dues to get respect. The debate I was in was with a person who supported professional leagues, who have intent to censor the community to make it more accessible. I think the sink or swim mentality is something that defined our culture, and if that succeeds it removes something which has been important to help create some of the best fighting game players of our time. I was unfortunately unable to make this point clearly. Again, I am deeply sorry for offending anyone. This was a combination of the people taking things out of context and my own inability in the heat of the moment to defend myself and the community I have loved for over 15 years."

Anyway, old news, one more sleep to go till TTT2, sadly Amazon were speaking out of their behinds with P4A's release date so the wait goes on...

Trufax.

Lovely offer tar mate but i've already got a Ryu one from when I impulse bought the collectors SF IV when it came out. I'm not using it because I don't want to keep buying batteries.

Never used them. I'll venture fourth and trial some.

So is Persona 4 Arena not being released today then? Saw a post by Pez somewhere regarding Amazon lying. I WANTZ IT NOW!!!

Nah it was Amazon's guesstimate bullshit dressed up as an official email. So who knows, had a look on Persona Europe's FB and still no official word. What a colossal fuck up. Anyway, TTT2 day, no reason to feel bummed at all!

Rejoice

Fuck that noise, show us the new installment Cappo.

DARKSTALKERS
