Not interested.

Oh boy.

It's a reality show. This is what they want.

Idiocy abound.

"For Aris and a lot of other people (mostly guys, but it can include women, too), the fighting game scene is a chance for them to relax and be themselves, away from an insane, politically correct culture,” a member of the Shoryuken forum wrote. “For some guys, being themselves means making mildly lecherous comments or racial jokes. Now, a bunch of idiots are conflating and exaggerating this with actually being racist or sexist. That’s supremely f*****g stupid, because they’re not even close to the same.”

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I've got two sides to this Cross Assault issue:

Miranda was sexually harassed, that much is without question. Miranda had a line, Aris crossed it, she asked him to stop, he didn't, rest explains itself.

But I get what Aris is trying to say when he says it's a part of the community. People say all sorts of BS to put an opponent off; I'm a Puerto Rican man in Louisiana, BS-talking is a national pastime here, hell some of our best BS-talkers are national icons. That said, I can't see how Aris can compare what's happened in the past week to trash-talk. Problem is it's too easily misinterpreted; now Penny Arcade and Giant Bomb and all the others are talking about how misogynist we as a community are, and it's mostly bull.

This is only in the internet. I doubt you can find guys making comments like that at the arcades in my country. Most of them don't even know what Melty Blood or Mugen is.

Never been a fan of the series. I did play it on the Segasaturn years ago at a friends house cause we can't get Xmen vs Street Fighter or Marvel Super Heroes to work.

I didn't bother reading it coz its too stupid and doesn't represent the entire fighting game community.

tl;dr: Basically, he claims it was a "heat of the moment" thing, not his actual thoughts.

Was playing Galaxy Fight. This game is tough as Real Bout or Fatal Fury 3.

His an insignificant nobody not worthy of international headlines.

But the situation itself is.

Pretty much what they wanted in the first place.

I will because knowing Capcom, the re-release version will have some certain stuff dropped like the Shadow Battle mode (MvC3) and Time Attack & Survival modes (SFIV).

Or they'll drop all the Tekken characters.

It hasn't made any headlines here. Only people who are into fighting games and use the internet would know about it. I didn't even know about it until you posted here.

Doesn't make it any less awful, man. Treating someone like that isn't cool.

Don't blame me for its lack of exposure. Blame those vultures who call themselves journalists.

I'm not blaming you for anything.

Anyone beat the boss in Kabuki Klash?

mamo · **Joined:** Nov 17, 2010 **Posts:** 1128

I haven't actually had a chance to play that one. Looks pretty fun, though.

Also, I went back and reread the previous posts about the harassment issue, and feel that I need to clarify myself. What I was trying to say is that I'm glad Aris caught heat for his actions, not the community. Sorry for any confusion.

Today is a day many of us have been waiting for: P4A's final build is playable in Japanese arcades! Expect lots of videos and even more character information to be on the way!

Here's a small taste of what can be seen so far:
