Guys, watch this. It's cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpISwQIR35M

Yeah... I really enjoy it, and having skilled Bomberman opponents, but it takes a lot of time and I want to focus on other things this year (job, speedrunning, dating). Actually, those are the same things I was trying to focus on last year and they worked out pretty well, except that my girlfriend broke up with me and I got fired. Still speedrunning some though. lol
(Nah, but seriously, the break up and leaving that job were for the best too.)

Maybe I'll check in when people are scheduling matches and pop in early to join practice rounds sometimes or something.


OH! Also, totally unrelated! I'm in contact with a couple people who are making a legit Itadaki Street 2 English romhack. It's a heck of an undertaking and there's no way I would've been able to do it myself. I'm planning on helping with some of the translation (since there's character dialogue/bios/other stuff that wasn't necessary for the guide).

I've gotten even busier this year, so I'm gonna have to decline... But I'd definitely like to join in for a casual game here and there (and in Super Bomberman R on Switch if anyone has it).

Davideo7 : So did I get those prize tickets? I guess I'd prefer the tickets over viz, assuming that's what the $-worth of steam games is.

July 12th at 7:30pm central time works for me.

And for me:
Thursday: 7:15 PM CT onward
Friday: 7:15 PM CT onward
Saturday: any time
Sunday: All day after noon
Monday: 4:45 PM CT onward
Tuesday: All day
Wednesday: 7:15 PM CT onward
Next Thursday: 7:15 PM CT onward
Next Friday: 7:15 PM CT onward
Next Saturday: All day
Next Sunday: All day after noon

Future weeks are 7:15 PM CT onward on weekdays and free on weekends.

If it takes this long, I will be busy July 15th.

That'd work for me!

I just now realized that next week has a holiday! So I'm actually free as early as 5:45pm ET on Monday, and free all day on Tuesday.

Alright, that'll work for me. Sorry about the event though. :/ Unless you wanted to do the event beforehand or something... though I'm not sure I want you warming up that much.

Hopefully you'll be willing to compromise, because the earliest I can be home from work and ready to go on a weekday is 8:15pm ET. I can make time on the weekend, but I imagine that more other people would be busy then.

My results:

vs Barathemos - I win 5-2
vs Davideo7 - I lose 1-5
vs foxyman - I lose 4-5
vs DavidMC - I win 5-0
vs gamerforlifeforever - I win 5-3
vs Sonicolmstead - I win 5-0
vs fyredove - I win 5-0

Fyredove : Yep, that'll work.

Well... I'm busy all this week from being in LA for e3 with a crappy laptop and airbnb internet. I can probably start scheduling matches on Saturday. During next week, I'll be free in the evenings starting at 8:15 ET, or in the mornings at 9:15 ET (yeah, just 9:15).

It's hard to say, but probably (don't remember names) ninja, mummy, and min-min. And I liked both main control setups after trying both, but I may actually like motion controls better since it's easier to control punches individually. I definitely want the game now though.

My guess is that for the not moving with motion controls, you were maybe holding the controllers facing the wrong way. You have to hold them vertically and sideways, so the insides (tiny L and R buttons) are pointing forward to the TV.

Anyway, I had a quite a bit of fun and I'd love to be able to read the little details about the variations in each characters, arm type, and the less obvious gameplay mechanics. I was learning that different characters could jump and dash differently (like jump multiple times, jump and hover, etc.) and the loading screens kept giving little bits of advice that I wouldn't have known otherwise, so I imagine there's still more that I don't know about the gameplay that'll add complexity.

Since I started with motion controls, when I briefly tried switching to the regular controller, I didn't know how to do anything that way and so I switched back after a match. I want to try that next time though. I also tried every character a bit and surprisingly enjoyed both the fast characters and the heavy characters.

It's hard to say how long the full game would keep my attention, since I rarely bother to actually practice and get good at fighting games, but if there's a decent amount of offline content and unlockable stuff and other modes, then I could see myself enjoying it quite a bit.

You can do that with AdBlock Plus (though more people use uBlock these days and I'm not sure the method of doing it with that).

So, add AdBlock Plus, click the icon in the top right of your browser window, select Block Element, then right click the embedded Twitch stream(s) to block them from loading on this site.

Sweet. Sounds like a plan then. Thanks!

If you all agree, can we start our match at around 8:15 tomorrow instead of 8:00? I wanna do the ARMS Global Testpunch on Switch from 7 to 8. If I don't get a reply from each of you in this thread, I'll just be on time for 8:00 as planned.
