"This is known as the hardest boss of all fighting games (and possibly every game) as he is almost undefeatable"

The General is the hardest, but I've beaten him with Kazuya. After a knockdown, a well timed jump kick can stop whatever he tries on wakeup.

Just thinking about him gives me a migraine
 
The Sean example slayed me. I'll never forget the feeling of going from 2nd Impact Sean to 3rd Strike Sean. Pretty sure that's when I learn about tiers in fighting games.


"Sean is what we call a compatibility character. He's a character that people could use when they wanted to give themselves a handicap. So for example, if friends wanted to fight but one was stronger, the strong one could say "I'll use Sean, so let's play!" In that way, friends could play together."

What a stupid reason to nerf a character that bad.

Anyway, more Daigo + Gief from a couple of days ago.

So ready for T8. Happiest outcome from this preview is that everyone gets Jukebox mode and they fixed all it's issues:

 
How long do I need to wait for Tekken 8 to get its first discount? Really want it but two big jrpgs just around the corner so the timing couldn’t be any worse
 
I picked up SF6 on sale. I tried the online as the other modes downloaded, and it had me go through a tutorial first. Played a few matches just to try it out, then went into World Tour. More tutorials. And I realized, the game never showed me how to do Drive Rush. I'm sure they will get to that eventually in World Tour, but it's odd that the basic tutorial before playing online didn't even mention it.
 
i started playing modern zangief yesterday. Must have remapped the controls about 10x before I found I layout that makes sense to me. Going from classic to modern is tricky
