@ThanosReXXX (I grew up with SuperSFII so I always thought that opening looked cool blushes) But yeah its so the sprite looks dynamic instead of just standing there. (granted that one is from Turbo and I think Hyper has the same opening...but the original Ryu in darkness was Super SF II)
It is funny though as a I've always dismissed that as a gamer even though I train in several martial arts myself. In aikdo we are pretty static (looking) until we dont need to be. However that doesn't look good on a video game. lol.

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh, I agree, that intro definitely was cool, back in the day, and because of the memories connected to it, it's still cool in some ways. But logically, it's still wrong, or at least "off". In video games it may not look good to have opponents just standing still, so hence the bobbing to and fro, and most people probably wouldn't give it a second thought, but for people that DO know martial arts, it's weird.
Just imagine doing that in real life: the moment I would start hopping from one foot to the other, my opponent would probably immediately do a foot swipe, landing me on the floor in next to no time at all...

@NEStalgia Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, in my opinion. It's not like she's impersonating a chameleon...
To me, it's just an image of a still relatively young teen, being rebellious and sticking her tongue out.
It was the only option left, after they had ruled out her sticking up her middle finger...
@ThanosReXXX Also to point out my complaint isn't ommiyamoto these women are big breasted (even though the proportions/figures are not realistic at all but we all know it's the most common superpower in comics and video games) as I got hit with the top heavy stick myself, but it's ...what is in your shirt?...Jello? Flan maybe? Water balloons?
(I'm worried about size so much as I am sensitivity, personally. Butts should be firm...it's a muscle group for cryin outloud...) What? You mentioned what you liked...
It would be like if the guys looked like somebody put a squirrel in their pants or I guess had a flat butt like Snake since that is apparently cause for concern.
Makoto from SF is one of my favorite female fighting game character designs (and Nakoruru from SamSho but she has a hawk...that is awesome).
@ThanosReXXX You mean the Dictator clone? Not really a young teenager. So much as an empty souless doll that broke free of her conditioning.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well, them being realistic isn't necessary, since it's a game, and even though they try to give it a somewhat realistic look, in the end, it's still a bit cartoony/3D anime-like.
Funny, though, that you think that the male equivalent of the female jiggle should be in the nether regions:
there are plenty of well-muscled men that can roll their pecs almost as if they were also made of jello, so I'd say give the male in-game characters the same treatment as the female ones: a jiggly chest, or at least a rolling one. No need for squirrels in pants. The though alone... ouch...
We men are VERY sympathetic to accidents happening to other men in their nether regions, as is easily shown by how so many men cringe in absolute horror and sympathetic pain when we see another guy getting hit in the bells and whistle, even if we see it happening on the TV...
Erm... and what I like? Sure, butts should be firm, but I wouldn't want a woman's to be too muscular: a bit to be able to hold on to, is always nice, but nothing out of proportion, though.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX LOL I don't look below a man's eyes really (I tend to make constant eye contact in general though but I don't really retain information about things that don't interest me. I literally use eyes and eyebrow shape and voice to remember most men... it's a running joke with my brother because after about 2 months I won't know who the person is...not kidding. To be honest in general most people "blend" together for me, but men are the most unremembered when I meet someone later. Example. My boss cut his hair recently and didn't say anything for an hour and it took about 30 minutes for it to click that it was the same person. I thought a manager was using his desk. ) and all my hetero friends mention the pants location (as do male comedians) so shrugs misinformation I guess?
LOL I was referencing a Ron White joke (who also only talks about pants region). So that's what American culture has taught me that men care about and consider their pride point. lol.
I wasn't asking what you liked, I was following up on what you said and putting a disclaimer so I wouldn't get asked why I said it. lol.
I feel like this spiraled somehow...which was not my intention.

Man, all this off-topic talk of jigglies and wrigglies has got to stop, so back onto the Xbox track again...
Microsoft is currently making their own bid for cheap subscriptions: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/xbox-live-gold/cfq7ttc0k5dj...
Wouldn't surprise me at all, if this is instigated by more and more sites offering subscriptions for far lower prices than Microsoft has ever done...
@ThanosReXXX If they can slash it that much why not set that as the price and undercut sony?

@Ryu_Niiyama No idea. And it still isn't cheaper as the other sites' offers, so they have some ways to go, far as I'm concerned. 12 months Xbox Live is still cheaper on cdkeys.com...
@Ryu_Niiyama The water balloons in doa move like everyone at Doatec gets implants at Dollar General. It's unsettling.
"I tend to make constant eye contact in general"
I have to admit, this made me laugh more than i should be willing to admit. . I know... I'm evil...
Cool about the price slashing. Ms is the one that started this whole subscription nonsense to begin with. If they want to show up Sony, kill the pricing and show everyone what a copy cat they are. Don't already cut psnow in response to gamepass. (Either that or because they have no subscribers)
Aside, mk x it's really cool. Best impulse buy on a game in ages. Didn't think appealed. The trailers undersell it. Mvc, dbz, and doa still top it though. And still hoping to like bb better with ctb instead of chronophan. Also, where is new sc?? Tried the old one in gamepass and it's great.... It's a lot of doa actually, but faster.
(I can hear thanos head pressurizing from all the acronyms already)
Even if you are currently subscribed to Gold you can top it up on Xbox.com for £26.50 for another year. This gives you free Games with Gold, discounts (Deals with Gold) and online multiplayer:
Oops, I forgot a game in my top fighting game list:
1) Smash Wii U
2) Brawl
3) Smash 3DS
4) Mario Tennis Aces
5) Pokken DX
6) ARMS
7) Melee
8) Killer Instinct (XB1)
9) Smash 64
(I can hear thanos head pressurizing from all the acronyms already)
Nah, I'm good. Trying to keep calm in this climate, so not going to bother myself too much with all these fighter game names. Besides, I actually think I got most of them:
mk x = Mortal Kombat X
Mvc = Marvel vs Capcom
dbz = Dragon Ball Z
doa = Dead or Alive
bb = BlazBlue
ctb = ...?? okay, you got me there...
chronophan = is that even an acronym?
sc = SoulCalibur
Not too shabby for someone my age, huh?
@BlueOcean Hope you don't take offense, because I feel like I'm repeating myself, but look a couple of comments back before yours (five comments before, to be exact), because I already beat you to it (again).
I had both the Microsoft discount, and the ACTUAL summer deals from other sites, because cdkeys.com is STILL far cheaper than the official prices.
I actually bought another 12 months from cdkeys yesterday...
@Grumblevolcano Wii U? Mario? Pokken? ARMS? Smash Bros? Are we still in the Xbox thread?
And since when is Mario Tennis Aces a fighting game?
@ThanosReXXX I haven't read all your comments but I don't understand why you call me out for trying to help people in my own way so I will keep posting what I find interesting, no offense! This is not a competition for me and I just checked your comments and they aren't the same anyways.
@BlueOcean Not calling you out, just notifying you, which is also why I hoped you weren't offended. And although I didn't mention Game Pass and the game discount page, I most certainly DID mention Microsoft's own discount on Xbox Live Gold, and that page in itself leads to the other discounts, so it actually is more or less the same.
But regardless, the other offers from third party sites are still cheaper, so why limit the choice to Microsoft's offers alone?
@ThanosReXXX Well, you'll just have to deal with this, I'm afraid. Besides, I found your explanations more confusing than mine, especially the one about Xbox updates.
Yes, you added a third-party site, congratulations. I haven't said that that is wrong and I have never called you out for anything at all. I remember thanking you for letting me know about cdkeys.com, so it's not like I am against any independent seller, although I might be more cautious if I don't know them yet.
If not you, I am sure that someone will find my posts useful.

@BlueOcean Confusing? I explained the EXACT steps you need to take, and I did that as clearly as possible.
If that's confusing, then that's not on me, no offense.
As for getting Xbox Live codes from other places: I can imagine people being cautious about sites like that,
but cdkeys has literally been around for more than a decade, and seeing as I and several other people I know frequently make use of their Xbox Live codes, I feel pretty confident in recommending them to others.
The codes are sent to you within minutes of having ordered them, so it's near instant delivery.
And I also don't feel like it should be a contest, and I don't consider it one, but I simply can't help when people double-post stuff or notify people of things, whether partially different or not, that has already been posted, and not just by me. I usually keep track of article or forum threads I'm in, so I'll notice what's already been posted.
But again: It's not an accusation or anything, it's just how I see things and how I work, so I can't help but notice. Nature of the beast, so to speak. Sorry if that offends.
In the forums it isn't as bad, but in the comments sections of articles, it's really bad sometimes; at least 3 or 4 people posting the exact same thing, because they haven't browsed through the comments, but instead were (too) quick to post their own after either only having read the title of an article or having only read the article itself, so to me, that sticks out like a sore thumb.
