The first Crackdown is one of my favorite games of all time!

You mean pedantic.

Cause innocent people are sometimes wrongly convicted, and sentenced to death. Life behind bars without the possibility of parole achieves pretty much the same effect for public safety, while still giving the wrongly accused a chance to live. There are also rare cases in which new evidence overturns their conviction decades into their sentence. If they're put to death, they never get that chance.

In regards to flossing, I used to never do it, until a new dentist told I oughta or my teeth would fall out in my 20s. I was 16 when that happened, and I have flossed every single day since. Now I can't brush my teeth without flossing. The process just feels incomplete without it.

Soooo... it generated a 4chan meetup?

"...they just assume that media includes consuming, producing and sharing."

That explains the shift in younger audiences from Facebook/YouTube to Twitter/TikTok.

I lived in Bangkok back in 2007. Being made to stand at the movie theater made me feel like I was at church lol.

Reminds me of that webcomic strip where the scientist proudly announces he made a robot that screams, and his colleague asks him why.

A boy can dream...

I don't get what you mean by "you must be this tall to play this character". Equating height to skill is a false equivalency. You can't get taller by practicing. Either way, it sounds like the devs just messed up the initial balance. It ain't the fault of the players who were serious about learning the character. That's the modern conundrum of games in the post SFIV era; constant balance patches before the full meta has been explored. Personally, I'm often dissuaded from trying to learn top tier characters in new games because of the fear that all the muscle memory I build will be useless when the game gets patched. It's gonna be interesting when Street Fighter 6 gets its first big balance patch a year in, and all the Ken and JP players take to their keyboards to complain.

There is a difference between balance and ignorance. Handicaps don't work very well if one player has stronger fundamentals than the other. It'll just be a slippery slope of stacking handicaps until one player ragequits. Instead of trying to Harrison Bergeron the situation, your best bet is to just play a different game or find a way to motivate the other player to learn as you did.

Tekken 8 just released a free demo on PS5 (comes out on other platforms in a week). Try it out. You might end up liking the game.

You just said yourself that doing them frame perfect yields a better version of the move. The input is difficult because of the potential reward. It's like doing perfect EWGFs in Tekken. I played Ivy in SoulCalibur II, and could do the Summon Suffering input pretty consistently if I buffered it during another attack. It led to a fun mixup since the other player would hear my joystick switches actuating as I did the motion, and crouch to avoid the throw. Instead of finishing the input, I'd hit them with her 2 A+B overhead instead. God, I love SCII. It's a shame the sequels kept trying to reinvent the wheel with the gameplay.

This is exactly what I meant.
