  The biggest fighting game disappointment is always when you first found out the biggest character wasn’t immediately the strongest.

  A depressing part about Joker here is that narratively Shotaro struggles with feeling like he&apos;s dead weight: he&apos;s not the ideal partner for Phillip as W and he&apos;s not as good of a detective as his mentor, so a lot of his arc comes down to confronting these feelings of inadequacy. Joker is him facing those fears head on, fighting on his own even as he struggles with maybe not being enough and accepting nobody is perfect.<br><br>Makes it fucked up that the game&apos;&apos;s balance essentially says &quot;yeah, he wasn&apos;t enough at all&quot; lmao 💀

  Weirdly Dracula’s playstyle sounds really accurate to how bosses in games actually fight.

  It&apos;s funny because Dracula almost always has a monster form he can transform into, and it would be a very interesting thing to make him alternate between his ranged humanoid form and a melee monster form. In fairness, the whole projectile thing makes it feel like you&apos;re playing a boss character, but at the same time, the playstyle was not well put together for that game specifically.

  I&apos;m pretty sure Big Zam was literally defeated in the anime by air dashing over him and hitting him in the head

  No Kinnikuman entry can only mean either the propaganda is working or that we just couldn’t rail on Planetman for several more minutes

  So in the Gundam anime, Big Zam was an experimental prototype that went into battle at a point in the war when Zeon, the antagonist faction, was officially on the back foot and would lose the war not long after. However, its pilot, Dozle Zabi, throws out a boast when he takes to the field, in an intended suicide run, that once Zeon can mass-produce Big Zam, they can turn the war around. This has sparked a lot of jokey questions of what would happen if Zeon had pulled it off (a lot of people question the plausibility of mass-producing a battleship-sized monster in a matter of weeks), and some Gundam games give you the option to do so.

  Hi Jack! I&apos;m the bastard you said you hated because I got my friend to &quot;do my dirty work for me&quot; at PAX! You made my day! Hopefully one day I can catch you in the flesh.
