Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

tweaking balance stuff
It's not particularly balanced but it's fun.
they're actually committing to character balance and variety pretty hard
plus I bet they're fighting hard to get those controllers out
ridiculous hype and expectations
Also more characters
This is the one all others should be judged against
Also my petition for them to use Ronnie in place of Mr N
I want to kiss you
On the lips
Right now
I see
the kicking

really hope this game is actually well written and doesn't just rely on its subject matter to get it story street cred
And get it greenlit on steam, c'mon people.
Considering how Capcom talked about AA5, this was the only way they felt safe releasing it. So...waiting for an iOS port would be pointless.
Because there wouldn't be one.
MK9 and Injustice than are more balanced than nearly every iteration of SF4 and SF3. Almost every character is viable in the former two games. Whereas in every game that's not SSF4, there are at least a few 8-2 matchups. Fucking Third Strike, man. Fantastic game with awesome systems and characters, but it was just not viable to play certain characters past a certain point of expertise.
They're also infinitely more entertaining than unblockable fighter 4: vortex edition 2012. Street Fighter might be king, but it's fucking boring right now.
Which is pretty dumb, since Ace Attorney sells pretty decently worldwide. The numbers I found said that as of December 2011 the series had sold almost 4.5 million copies worldwide.
how much of that gets eaten by localizers/distribution costs though
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
if it was worth it to give AA5 a proper retail release then they'd be doing it

The worst matchup in the game is Kabal/Sheeva and it is at worst 8-2. Hawk/Blanka is 8-2 and so is Hakan/Sim (possibly even 9-1).
You say this, and usually i'd agree.
But then i think about what they've done with Resident Evil and Mega Man and i'm not so sure how much faith i put in Capcom's administration teams because wow that is a bad way to leverage your brands.
sure but that's kind of a horse of a different color

Stuff like this
This is why Divekick exists
You're a crook, Captain Hook, Judge, won't you throw the book at the pirate!
Probably none so bad as Hakan / Dhalsim which is like...
That is one of the best hakan versus one of the best dhalsim
But bad matchups will exist in Divekick
I'm not really sure if it is! Most of Capcom's bad decisions lately seem to come from this weird place of having no confidence that people still like their own brands despite having no evidence of this until they make big sweeping changes. They seem to have lost all faith in the people who actually make the games and it's super fucking weird. I know Ace Attorney has never been a huge seller and all, but Mega Man sure as hell was and they've all but written him off even as a quick cash in. It seems like a pattern, though i'm fully aware i could be just making it all up in my head.
I understand not taking unnecessary risks, but they seem to not even want to put out games anymore unless they already know how they could sell, and then they try so hard to make sure that everyone likes it that no one does. It all just seems sort of baffling from the outside.
When you lose you get to change your character while the winner has to stay with the exact same one.
But most people only play one character, whereas Infiltration-the Hakan player in that video-plays three or four characters so he can play based on who he thinks you're gonna pick first round and if he loses a game go to his main character
but you do not choose after you see what the other guy has, right, you go in blind
the reason i'm saying it's different is that AA5 has already been made
they know how much it would cost to localize it and publish hard copies, and they can project how well it will sell based on the sales of the previous games, and evidently they feel that they can bear the cost of the localization but not the distribution
i guess it's possible that they're needlessly underestimating how well it would perform
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
You're both picking off the same character select screen usually so the other player can see who you pick (blind picks exist if you want them, though), and Infiltration does LOTS of research into top players, watches their matches and studies them etc so he knows who to pick versus people usually
edit: i thought it was a thing where you write down who you are going to pick beforehand
You know what was better than Soul Calibur II?
Soul Calibur
No Talim sorry
You're a crook, Captain Hook, Judge, won't you throw the book at the pirate!
no, but that is how a lot of tournaments in japan are run
you pick the character you choose to play at the beginning of the tournament and you can only play that character
a lot of them are also single-elimination; you lose one best of 3 set and you're out
