Follow games. Not systems. If its on X1 buy it. If its on PS4 buy it. If its on PC buy it. Point is that if the game is good enough that you'd be dedicated to it then its worth the price of admission. PS4 was bought for me because I wanted KOF 14, Injustice 2, Atelier, musou, and Genso Rondo. I'll likely get a Scorpio to finally dip in on KI.

I play any and all. I have to save for the big moves but its worth it for the experiences that matter to me.

Why deny what you enjoy because there are bad fans of something as well as good fans? That'd be like someone hating everything that becomes popular simply because they can't stand annoying fans clamoring around it. That'd mean no Star Trek, no Dr. Who, no Game of Thrones, no Comic books of any kind, no MK, no music by anyone ever...no fun of much any kind and never any popular things even if they are popular for a good reason. Forget that. Enjoy what you enjoy and go where it leads. Screw trying to keep up appearances for anyone else's sake.

Good thing you've not played PC games then. Wouldn't want you to suddenly start feeling in anyway superior to others or be turned into one of those people, because the platform is different. I'm sure playing on console makes people immune to being a stereotyping generalist, or at least any that are probably are on that other console.

OMG, I think I just came off like a PC gamer.
Wait, maybe I am. Part time? I'm not sure anymore. Could be.

I do lack an Xbox so maybe I'm not impartial....but Xboxes are turning into PCs kind of. It's all confusing really.

Not smug at all - good for you. :p

I can follow them, only if they're exclusive. Not if they come in PC as multiplatform. If they get multiplatform with PC included, then I follow them in PC firsthand.

The problem here is that the consoles are mini PCs with all the tech stuff in them that are similar to a PC's only in minor. I like playing them in PC, because the PC can offer you what the consoles do not have.

Ayy lol i dont blame you. If you feel like gettong free wins. My psn is bdizzle2700
Feeling wiped out ATM, but I will send you a friend request tomorrow-ish and we can give it a go next time you got time.

I'm really bad, so you may get bored quick. That's genuine "Why does this button have a triangle on it" bad and not "I'm trash because I dropped a 90% that one time" joking kind of bad. I also don't tend to quit if I'm losing - unless I have to pee. Disclaimers and all of that.

I do need to try and play people. The CPU isn't worth playing, and it's been hard to get connections, so if you'll put up with my fumbling around then I'm in.

Geez Xanadu just feels worthless out there. Is there anything he's good for?
Spend more time with him, his normals are all pretty good, he can consistently set up safejumps & DP baits off his normal combo enders & using St. D, his yell is great oki & pressure & leads to CMD grab mindgames. He's solid at least, not King of Dinosaurs good but good.

What hilarious is that Combofiend tweeted he wants to rock a team of Xanadu/Meitenkun/Hein. Dude...you're a Capcom public rep.

Quoting for no other reason than Hein is in it, and I want to know what is being thought of Hein at this point?

I'm kind of a sucker for a supernatural butler type, and I've been putting him on point because it seems like he does ok low meter damage and doesn't gain as much from meter as some others. But his normals seem a bit on the slow side even though the reach is fairly good.

His aerial kick seem to be lacking in comparison to Robert's and really only seems to start anything in the corner. He has an overhead kick, that also doesn't appear to go much of anywhere unless you are in the corner. He doesn't have a projectile to zone, but doesn't feel like he is much for pressure or rushdown. He also doesn't have a DP for defense or wake up.

The only thing I have been able to think to do with him is to treat him as a come hither character. Poke with DF punch, and try to sucker them into a DB punch that will pull them in for a combo. Anyway, I think he is cool, but I don't feel like I have much of a game plan with him. I also wouldn't mind if someone could explain a reason anyone would ever want to use "Castling" when you could just go into a full combo instead.

Yeah, I didn't find much of a reason to use Max Mode with him. My other characters seem to benefit more from having enough meter to both use max mode and supers chains. You can chain supers with him (obviously) but it doesn't seem to amp the damage up the same way it does with a lot of other characters. I've just been sticking to level 1 supers for him.

Of course I'm the worst west of the Mississippi so whatever thoughts I have are pretty suspect.
