So if the Switch gets bigger than Wii then we can expect a lot more shovelware on the shelves? Zelda and shovelware. Shovelware and Zelda.

Just over 6 weeks left until Candy Arse's annihilation at Street Fighter! Don't worry y'all, I will be sure to record & upload footage of the aftermath of me thrashing him...with Candy crying his bitter tears whilst in a fetal position inside a Southern Cross Station toilet cubical. 8)

Cletus and lestat, once Jasper confirms date/time/location for our money match can you change the thread title to suit?

Also can we put in a stipulation where if either of us doesn't show, that person is banned from GR?

I've accepted the challenge :)

he wont

But rather than ban him, how about we don't, so you can always remind him of his cowardice.

But if he had the actual guts there'd be a few of us happy to spectate.

It would make for a great social event. Once he confirms date/time/location we'll pop it in our calendars.

No doubt the frame data will be the same as SSF2T HDR so I'll practice with a few of my characters in the leadup.

I'll give you a leg-up here Jasper - prepare for Balrog and O.Sagat. Akuma too unless you want him banned ;)

What I want banned from our fight to the death is traditional controls! :down:

Get with the program, babes. It's the 21st century, and the only way to now play Street Fighter is with motion controls. :keke:

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on Nintendo Switch includes a motion control mode called "Hadouken Mode", where you fight one another in first person view and with waggle controls... 8)

Have a look below. Doesn't it just look oh so fun? :wink:

Waggle is a complete joke, but let's meet in the middle.

First to 10 on "traditional" controls of our choosing
First to 10 on waggle controls

$500 money match for each control method so we each put up $1000.

Challenge accepted.

His next demand will be that you're only allowed to use waggle controls with your feet. Them it'll be under the terms of the "loser has to suck the winners dick". Rocco is never going to front.

Here's the full Nintendo Switch presentation...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPLATOON 2...
Image

ImageImage

* Splatoon 2 has a brand new mode called Salmon Run, in which you fight off Chum enemies in waves. Bigger enemies are called Steelheads, and are tougher to defeat.

* You also collect power eggs from defeated enemies. Eggs can be transported to a containment unit, which is the ultimate objective. You can get special rewards for completing this mode.

* Deploy a lifesaver when you die, which means partners can come in and help you.

* Splatoon 2 will be released in July.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARMS...
ImageImage
ImageImage

* A brand new Nintendo IP and developed by the Mario Kart team. It's a super fast-paced fighting game, in which you battle using a variety of extendable arms (arms that you can mix and match - with each arm having it's own unique strength). Note though that characters can also kick (not just use their arms).

Image

* Different arms come in different categories (Fire / Electric / Ice / Explosion / Stun / Blind / Wind)...

Image

* You can also compete in two on two battle modes.

Image

* The game can be played using either motion or conventional controls.

* New character revealed (Minmin). Minmin's left arm can transform into a dragon...

Image

* There is an absolute shit-ton of arms that are customisable, and can be mixed and matched...

Image

* ARMS will be released in June.

* New neon yellow Joy-Cons will be released in conjunction with ARMS....

I saw that, apparently both neon and Grey packs were up briefly. I'll wait for Splatoon 2 given MK8 Deluxe doesn't offer too much new for someone with MK8 + DLC.

I'm still thinking about the terms of our match. 8)

Because i'm such a pro and you're an utter novice, i'm thinking of allowing you to compete against me with touchscreen super/special moves activated. :lol:

With this mode - instead of a Street Fighter rookie like you having to learn the complex controller input of SF, you can just tap your chubby cheezels crumbs covered thumb on the touchscreen to instantly activate super/special moves. :redface:
