How does the saying
go…? Ah, yes -- get HYPE.
I should probably start
by saying that I’m not very good at fighting games. I’m no Flowchart Ken, but I’m in this weird
purgatory where I’m several steps above a “scrub”, but several steps below
someone who actually practices with the game on a regular basis -- so yeah, you
won’t hear about me taking any tournaments anytime soon. But I still enjoy the concept of them, and the
potential each one holds. The end result
may always be the same, but how they go about it varies wildly. Not to mention the
joy (and despair) that results from playing as your favorite character. Truefax: the only reason I’ve played Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is because
I get to lose with play as Phoenix Wright.
So in honor of the
battles destined to rage at this year’s big battlefield, let’s talk about a
whole mess of fighters -- old ones, new-ish ones, and more. So oil up your arcade sticks; it’s time to DP
our way into some tatsunical combos!
