Are Fighting Games Improving? EVO 2023 Extensive Discussion with Quash (Guilty Gear XX Player)

jeudi 7 septembre 2023 • Durée 05:44:28

Are Fighting Games Improving? EVO 2023 Extensive Discussion with Quash (Guilty Gear XX Player). In today's epic video, Quash and I discuss the past, present, and future of fighting games, leading up to our thoughts on EVO 2023. And for the first time in a long time, I'm actually interested and excited to watch it this year. As of late I have been playing a lot more Tekken and Virtua Fighter, but I'm also interested in a lot of games being played. We go over our thoughts an avalanche of topics, such as: The decline and future of 3D fighting games, Sales vs Tournament entries, Steam Charts vs Tournament entries, the homogenization of game mechanics, the importance of netcode for upcoming pro players, sluggish UI Design, the issues with online Matchmaking, the function of rank modes and why they need fixed, Differences in perception in JP and NA scenes, is the EVO gladiator format still the best, or should they start to look more into leagues? The Final Year of Tekken 7, should Marvel happen every year, the sleeping giant that is the Street Fighter IP, the uncertain fate of Project L, the importance of graphical presentation, my love and concern for Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive, and so much more. The games and tournaments we discussed are: Street Fighter 6 - 7k entrants Guilty Gear -Strive- 2.4k entrants Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate - 449 entrants Tekken 7 - 1.5k entrants The King of Fighters XV - 666 entrants Melty Blood: Type Lumina - 554 entrants Dragon Ball FighterZ - 838 entrants Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - 1.3k entrants

Shmups VS Speedrunning, Natural Vs. Fan-Made Meta | Ft. @neoxaquas

jeudi 7 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:08:02

Shmups VS Speedrunning, Natural Vs. Fan-Made Meta | Ft. @neoxaquas . Today's topic has been a subject that has fascinated me for a long time, the difference between shmup scoreplay meta and speedrunning time meta. What's interesting is that for a long time, I've heard speedrunners talk about scoreplay in the tone of an outdated style of competitive design. Like if you watch the history of speedrunning video by Karl Jobst, he describes score play as essentially the ooze from which the glory of speedrunning was born. This makes some sense if you only look at speedrunning from their community perspective. However, over the years I have become more skeptical of community / fan made meta (see my discussion of the subject with the Crimson Blur about Melee) and in today's video I am joined by Aquas who is the perfect guest on the topic as he has world records in both speedrunning and shmup score play (a rare accomplishment!). We cover a variety of fun topics, including his world record progression in Pink Sweets, and the heart of the conversation for me is what are the strengths and weaknesses of fan-made meta, like speedrunning, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of natural built in meta like scoreplay. In the end, I find that I greatly prefer the natural meta of scoreplay (and fighting game tournament play) because it is less arbitrary and prone to manipulation from fellow players and outside forces (besides the developer). However, this doesn't mean that I don't think speedrunning in itself isn't a cool idea, and I even offer what I think is the best solution for the issue in the form of what M2 Shottriggers have been doing with their shmup ports. Imagine if Nintendo actually put some care into their wave of ports and re-releases, and included speedrunning modes and leader boards in their ports. Also I love that Aquas brought up how heavily nostalgia plays into a speedrun game's popularity, because there are tons of speedruns that I think could be fascinating (Dead to Rights Super Cop), but sadly the non-nostalgic games tend to be extremely under-explored. That being said, there are also issues that can rise up from relying solely on the natural meta of a game, like Battle Garegga and its infinite milk, so again I think this is where having robust ports with patches really smooths out a lot of issues, other wise competitive score play is going to rely very heavily on replay analysis and community leader boards and we've seen enough "I GOT A CHEATED RUN PAST THE MODS!" vids for a lifetime.

Psikyo Shoot Em' Up Tier List Ranking! Ft. Super Player @Meriscan

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:00:44

Psikyo Shoot Em' Up Tier List Ranking! Ft. Super Player @Meriscan It's time to discuss which Psikyo Shoot Em' Up (shmup) games are the best with a ranking! And today I am joined by one of the best Psikyo players in the western world, @Meriscan ! For those not in the know, Psikyo is one of the most underrated shmup developers and their games are like a cross between CAVE style bullet hell (danmaku) and Raiden style high speed bullets of death. The games that we cover are: Sengoku Ace, Gunbird, Strikers 1945, Sengoku Blade(Tengai), Strikers 1945 II, Zero Gunner, Gunbird 2, Space Bomber, Strikers 1945 III (1999), Strikers 1945 Plus, Cannon Spike(Gunspike), Dragon Blaze, and Zero Gunner 2! A lot of these games are available on Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Though I would highly advise staying away from the Nintendo Switch Collections, Bravo and Alpha, as they are both very laggy and bad.

What is a Shoot Em' Up? Defining the Genre with Shmup Junkie

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:07:27

What is a Shoot Em' Up? Defining the Genre with Shmup Junkie. This video has literally been years in the making. As much as we all the love Shoot Em' Up (shmup, STG) genre, what's embarrassing is that, up to this point, over all these decades, there has never been a solid criteria or definition of what a shmup even is. For a genre that is so fundamental you'd think this would have been established by now, but due to the nature of online discourse, this question has never been resolved. Over the years, I have worked on what I think are the 3 criteria of what I believe consitute a shmup, and in today's video I explain these criteria and run them by fellow youtuber, Shmup Junkie, to hear his reaction and thoughts. We not only talk about shmups, but also related genres like run n' gun, rail shooter, gallery shooter, first person shooter (fps), third person shooter, single screen games, metal slug, contra, platformers, twin stick shooters, Star Fox, Doom, and many more! I think we have a fantastic discussion and I do think this is one of the most important episode of The Electric Underground :-) I am now going to list off some algorthym tags: Nintendo Switch, Steam, Bullet Hell, PS4. PS5, Xbox, PC, Indie, Hidden Gem, Sega, CAVE, Touhou, Battle Garegga, Longplay, 1cc, Podcast.

Fight N' Rage Developer Interview! The Creation of the Best Modern Beat Em' Up!

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:15:39

Fight N' Rage Developer Interview! The Creation of the Best Modern Beat Em' Up! I'm very excited for today's guest, Sebagames, the developer of Fight N' Rage, my favorite Beat Em' Up of all time! In today's episode we discuss the history of the game, his story and motivation to get such a massive undertaking completed as a solo developer, and of course the possibility of a sequel and what the developers thoughts are on his "creative crisis" in regards to making a follow up. We also discuss classic arcade based design, such as Fight N' Rage, Alien Versus Predator, Final Fight verus the modern simon says style design of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, River City Girls, Scott Pilgram, and these types of games. Another aspect of the episode is talking about how insperational the story of Fight N' Rage can be for other indie developers, but how often the stories of indie devs are overlooked in favor of older studios like Square and their tale of creating Final Fantasy. Fight N' Rage at the time of this recording is on massive sale and I strongly strongly recommend picking it up on Steam, Good Old Games, Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox and wherever else the game pops up.

True Last Boss - Amazing or Awful? A Shoot Em' Up (Shmup) Debate

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:50:19

True Last Boss - Amazing or Awful? A Shoot Em' Up (Shmup) Debate. True Last Boss, the TLB, they are a signature aspect of shoot em' up, shmup, design. Are they fair? Are they outdated and stealing your money? should they be mandatory? Should they be optional? What about TLB's appearing in other genres? Should Super Mario have a true last boss (giga Bowser). What about secret super bosses in RPGs? Today the crew gets back together and Aktane, Boghog, and myself debate this idea. It was a really fun conversation and definitely subscribe to Aktane's channel and check out Boghog's upcoming shmup, Gunvein! It's going to be great 😃

Are Fighting Games Decaying into Drama, Twitch Highlights, And Hype Reaction Videos?

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:09:30

Are Fighting Games Decaying into Drama, Twitch Highlights, And Hype Reaction Videos? A discussion with @RedLineFGC . I have been actively involved with the fighting game scene (attending locals, watching majors, etc) since 2012 and over the past ten years it feels like there has definitely been a big shift in tone where the passion for the games have cooled, despite there being more fighting games being produced than ever, and the passion for the internet sub culture, especially drama, has grown. I'm not an arcade purist or anything like that, but I do think there is a balancing point in terms of the type of content being made and the tone of the content. I would argue that since the esports shift, the tone of the content has become more generic, bland, and more geared towards filler and there also now exists a thriving subculture of pure drama. Also the rate of turnover between games has become so fast that it's essentially impossible to keep up with as a fan, as a player, and as a video maker / youtuber. On top of this, it is a bit of a shame the so many channels that I have enjoyed over the years like Avoiding the Puddle and The Main Man SWE are more on the side of stream highlights than making dedicated videos and podcasts (especially ATP), but I also do understand why this shift has occured. This all being said, keep in mind that I am much less invested in what goes on with fighting games and am perfectly willing to now retire to playing locals and less popular fighting games online :-) I am interested to see what happens with Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter, and many other upcoming fighting games, but I'm not holding my breath for a healthy shift in quality and engagement around the games. You never know though! Thanks so much to @RedLineFGC for being a guest on the episode and be sure to check out his "Tekken 7 - A Five Year Critique" video and subscribe to his channel!

The Nostalgia Economy - We're Addicted! 💉

jeudi 26 janvier 2023 • Durée 27:39

The discussion of how massive and omnipresent the tactic of nostalgia in today's video games and film is a common topic. Very few would deny how potent nostalgia is and how companies will not hesitate to use it. In today's video though, I want to go beyond the usual conversation of the behavior of the studios and companies (the suppliers) and instead focus my attention on the consumers of nostalgia. Why is it so compelling to us? How has it become so pervasive in all of our media? And analyze why I believe the millenial mind (I am one myself) is espcially supseptible to the powr of nostalgia and how we can bend ourselves into logic pretzles to both justify nostalgic pandering and deny it at the same time. I also go over how I think this addiction to nostalgia has altered our current artsist practices and why everything these days seems to be a copy of a copy.
