Chapters5
Discussion of a Dragon Ball Fighters DLC announcement and the confusion around its attribution, including mis- translations and PR handling.
Maximilian Dood breaks down the Dragon Ball Fighters update, Ingrid’s wild Street Fighter 6 reveal, and the chaotic thrill of revisiting DBFZ online.
Summary
Maximilian Dood dives into the latest Dragon Ball Fighters update, digging into Daima’s combo potential and the online scene after the patch. He teases the Arc System Works/Bandai Namco uncertainty around the developer credit, leaning into the Vega-leak saga and the drama of leakers in fighting games. Throughout, Max mirrors his own history with leaks, sharing why he stopped covering rumors and how credibility matters when big characters might actually show up. He projects Vega as the linchpin in Street Fighter 6’s next DLC drop, insisting that if Vega isn’t in, expectations—and accountability—will shift for leakers and fans alike. Ingrid in Street Fighter 6 is front-and-center, with Max marveling at her extreme animation and “code holder” lore, while speculating on how she fits into the game’s balance and meta. Between lengthy training-room lab sessions and on-the-fly online matches, he paints a vivid picture of how high-skill zoning and intricate combos reshape the modern fighter’s learning curve. The stream also pivots to a broader talk about game development, crossplay, and the future of long-running titles like Dragon Ball Fighters, all wrapped in Max’s signature, humor-filled, opinionated style. By the end, he’s mixing hype with skepticism, acknowledging the game’s depth while staying cautious about leaks, polish, and the industry’s evolving dev ecosystems.
Key Takeaways
- Arc System Works’ role in DBFZ’s latest DLC caused confusion; the English/Japanese Twitter translation suggested different credits than the Japanese account’s wording.
- Daima’s Dragon Ball Fighters run shows off-screen potential: high-damage, multi-bar TOD routes exist with smart assist wiring and precise timing.
- Vega is a central talking point for Street Fighter 6 DLC, with Max demanding that any trailer confirm every leak’s roster before headlines can be trusted.
- Ingrid’s Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer reveals extreme mobility and loop potential, with Max praising the character’s wild, high-effort design and new teachable moments for zoning.
- Max argues leaks need accountability: if a leaked roster turns out real, all leakers should be credited or called out for credibility, or face diminished trust.
- Online play in DBFZ and other fighting games remains volatile; rollback and crossplay are still critical to long-term health and player retention.
- Max emphasizes the potential future of Dragon Ball Fighters as a platform, not a one-off title, contingent on ongoing support and community interest.
Who Is This For?
Essential viewing for hardcore fighting game fans who care about leak culture, ARS/BN collaborations, and the live-streams where combo theory, online play, and new DLC are debated in real time.

Transcending history and the world. A tale of dudes and souls eternally retold. We all need to shine to see how far we come on our journey. me to go searching for our star deep in the night. I pray in my heart for that special life to show me with love. showing me with power. Got to get to the edge of car. car leaving behind. Yo, what's up, dudes? Sorry, chat. Uh, couldn't make it yesterday. Was doing stuff, but we're back, you know, with appropriate timing, too. Nothing happened yesterday. Nothing of uh cultural significance. Took place in a yesterday time frame.
That didn't happen, you know. Not at all. Nope. Nothing happened at all. Nothing happened at all. So, uh, yeah, we got a lot of things, man. We got to finish up Pragmata. We got the Dragon Ball update. Dude, you know what was the craziest information reveal of all of them? Let me pull this up. Hold on a second. Arxis. Was it on their English account or I think it was on the Arxis Japanese account. It was Arc System Works. You No, that's not it. Anyway, I can find the tweet. Um, Ark System Works confirmed that they're the ones that did the latest character.
It was not, it was not done by Bandai Namco. It was actually that one, you know, it was that one. Um, so anyway, yeah, I'm like, "Holy shit." Okay. So, it's just interesting at that point. It's just interesting. They must be like very busy because there were definitely things that are like a little off about the dude. He doesn't have like the usual uh glitz and glam that a DLC character would. It's just odd, you know, fake controversy. Um, so A plus B does not equal C. Uh, the character's weird. It he definitely doesn't have like the level of polish that would be expected.
So, there was a presumption that maybe, you know, just maybe if anybody has the link to the tweet, let me know. Unless that [ __ ] was fabricated. I went to their the English Twitter and it wasn't there. Um, and I can't find the Japanese Twitter. I don't know why the heck it's not showing up. Um, is Arxis PR? Okay, well that makes sense that it's PR doing it. Arside PREA. There it is. Check this out. as of today on the 22nd has been added to Dragon Ball Fighters developed by Arc System Works. The DLC SSJ4 Daimo uh joins the fight.
Character incorporates plenty of performance elements from the anime. Yeah, we saw that. Um, as well as features that previous fighter characters didn't have. So, I hope you enjoy playing with it. Published by Bandit Namco. Yeah, all of that lines up, you know. All of that lines up. Anyway, that was that was definitely like that was definitely like interesting, you know. Uh I was not expecting that. So either way, things are just a little odd. Maybe they haven't worked on it in a long time. Maybe the people that have been working on the game are not the same team.
Um it isn't a confirmation they didn't. It is. It's an endorsement. Wait a minute. Did I just read that incorrectly? Wait, wait, wait. I I I closed it out. Did I read it completely wrong? Literally developed by Arc System Works. Maybe it's uh maybe we're relying on Grock for a bad translation. The new DLC diamond pack has been added System Works. The game, right? But why would they be the ones saying anything if they were No, it would. You understand, right? Like why would that be weird? Why would that be weird? Seems odd. Um yeah, DBFC is developed by Arcis.
No, I get you. Is there a reply? The translation's highly misleading. The accurate translation is to DBFC was created by Arc System. The new Diamond DLC was added. I can even say this is implying they didn't make the DLC. Ah, okay. Damn. You really can't trust Grock for anything. Damn, that's crazy. Even their uh even the translation's bad on Twitter. [ __ ] It's literally a misinformation machine. That's insane. speaking of wild crazy misinformation being treated as factual truth, turns out uh we know the entirety of the Street Fighter 6 next DLC season. We just know it now.
uh if we're talking about things that are just being treated as complete truth without any uh verification. Um yeah, so I think we got to I got to reestablish myself um on some of the things that we have been saying in the past and I have luckily experience because I am that old. I am 67 years old. So I'm trying to give you guys a little bit of perspective. Um, so here's the thing. Yeah, I'm calling [ __ ] on all of it, right? Um, I'm calling I'm calling [ __ ] on at least a chunk of it. I think if things do end up happening, I think it's going to end up being conveniently true if something does end up happening.
I'm just calling I'm just calling [ __ ] on it. So that number one came from a source that was that was right once but then came back later and did not have any information and then suddenly comes back again and they're like oh I got information again like I need attention. Um which is always a little weird to me. um also doesn't line up with the other stuff, right? There was a complete other amount of info that has been circulating for like just over like 6 months of what the next characters are and none I don't think any of them are the same.
So, here's what's fascinating about this, and I'm just going to offer my personal experience as someone that absolutely covered leaks uh of fighting game stuff in the past, whether it was like rumor or leak. Um, and there's a reason why I stopped, and I'm going to dive into that a little bit. So, the number one reason why I don't cover leaks anymore is that number one, you're setting up an audience and it's like your responsibility to give your audience somewhat factual information and you just don't know if it is. The problem with leaks as well is that yeah, I'm not doubting what either I heard or somebody heard about things being real.
what I'm presenting is that [ __ ] changes and until actual information is actual information. Um that does not mean that it will become an actual reality at some point. Um, I have heard fighting games that I am ridiculously excited about, you know, being in development. For them to just vanish off the face of the [ __ ] earth and been like, well, that's just not even happening anymore. Like, it would have been really cool to be vocally excited about cool things that are happening over the past like 10 to 15 years of me covering [ __ ] and then they just stop existing, bro.
So yeah, it it sort of sucks to build people up to be excited about something that is not confirmed to be actually happening because [ __ ] changes in the in behind the scenes. You know, [ __ ] changes on a dime behind the scenes. So um anyway, that's why I just don't care generally talk about leaks very much. The other issue is um which is something that matters to me is credibility. And if people are looking towards you about like leaks of things and it's sort of like this wishy-washy heard this from this so yeah I can cooperate that and then that does not eventually happen then people start asking later on dude what was all that stuff that you were talking about that this was going to happen like what why didn't that happen?
um when it's like when you're actually cooperating things, it's like [ __ ] Okay, this is uh this is this is not good. This is not a good thing. The I and I've personally had in the 10 years ago um I called them bait leaks, which is why what's happening right now is especially relevant. I have had bait leaks where people are out there spreading information that specifically feels like it is to get me to talk about something. Um, and these feel like plants and it's like, bro, okay, uh, this [ __ ] feels like a plant. And I have found out later that through literal inside sources at certain places, yeah, that it was completely not true.
and found out, you know, through a a few routes, oh, who the actual like leaker of real information is. So, I stopped taking that bait. Does anybody remember Uncanny Marvel versus Capcom 3? From what I recall, it was a complete bait leak and it was the whole point was to get me to talk about it in video, which we did, and some other content creators to talk about it. And some other content creators at the time had said that, "Yeah, I've been hearing about this, bro. like this is what's happening to validate themselves in some way.
Um, and even in other situations where I had heard around the block, you know, you talk to a lot of people about something potentially being true. Here's the part that got me. This is where this is where I was like, uhoh. Um, it was like it was I think it was around either Mortal Kombat X or MVCI. So, this is like nearly 10 years ago. when information got out from some rando or something that nobody was this what this person is saying might not actually be true all of a sudden somebody with a following is like yeah man I and I said this myself I was like I also heard the same thing so that [ __ ] might be true at that point I started reading articles about said information and it was like some rando said something about something being true and then it went to me in the article quoted, "Hey, this [ __ ] who also loves Capcom stuff by the name Maxmillion dude also heard the same thing." At that point, I was like, "Uhoh, wait a minute.
Now I'm the leaker. Oh [ __ ] this was some random [ __ ] that was just on the internet saying [ __ ] and all of a sudden now I'm the one that is leaking [ __ ] Now I'm the one where all the eyes are on, oh, this [ __ ] is cooperating this. It's like, uhoh. So that's a lesson I learned really hard. I became the leaker all of a sudden. So that at that point it was like ah [ __ ] Did even that stuff end up coming true? No, it [ __ ] didn't. Things changed. In fact, that stuff got pushed even further down the DLC cycle for some of those games.
Um, and in NBC's case got pushed out of the [ __ ] DLC cycle because the game got cancelled. So anyway, um yeah, I just stopped doing that. I just was like, "This doesn't make any [ __ ] sense." I I will talk about rumors and things that I will absolutely not cooperate because I until something is officially announced in my personal opinion, I will not be talking about it, you know? I just won't until it's until it's a real thing. I also think it also sucks the excitement like straight out of the air. It just sucks the excitement straight out out of whatever could have been a cool moment.
I appreciate us being in the moment with each other, all on the same equal footing. I don't like being a person that is like that is feeling like I am getting specifically privileged like out of what everybody else is cuz it it feels like I am disconnected from a lot of what you guys are experiencing, which is the whole goddamn point to be connected to your audience in some way. I don't specifically like that, right? I don't I don't like being in that like that situation because I want to experience this stuff at the same point where everybody else does.
Anyway, um, so over the past like 24 hours with all this [ __ ] I do not I'm I'm not entirely on board with it, you know? I'm just not super on board with everything that's being said. There's literal two there's multiple different leaks now with images and stuff which are like potentially fake of what the characters are. And I I think it is I think there is something in here that is like, hey, there's a lot of this [ __ ] happening here, right? But there's also this character and this character is the one THAT IS LIKE, OH, THIS is the one that is now getting this is the thing that's going to make front page and clicks and all this [ __ ] And I'm just not [ __ ] buying it, dude.
I'm not. So, I think it's just fair to say that we can I I can talk about this with with some because this is very related to me, right? I think we can gather up a bit of like gusto here because this feels like it's almost like calling me out specifically and I'll just I'll just say it straight up. Um I cannot believe that they would utilize this character to like effectively bait all of us into into making front page. No, everyone has this expectation and I think it's [ __ ] that I have been more excited about this character being in anything ever.
We've wanted this character to show up in other things. We wanted this character to be a reality like for so damn long. And we all know who that character is and I'm I'm not afraid to talk about it. It's Vega. Vega is like the most iconic Street Fighter character we have ever seen that has not been in Street Fighter 6. And it's insane that if we go all the way back to like Championship Edition, this character is not around. It's crazy. And now we got all this cooperation that Vega is like the big character. And I'm like, dude, we've wanted Vega in Tekken.
We've wanted Vega in in six. Vega was [ __ ] in five. He was boring as hell. So, we've been waiting for Vega to come back in some way. So, all I'm going to say is a lot of you guys are seeing all this [ __ ] all over the place. And the character is on not on one leak list, could be on another. And all I have to say is that like this is an all-in kind of situation. We can't be picky and choosy. Oh, if just Vega makes it in, then that's cool, right? It's like, no, no, no.
There's a whole bunch of other characters on this stuff that who gives a [ __ ] All I have to say is this is a put up or shut up. Like, if we're if we're out here accounting that some rando on the [ __ ] internet is saying that this [ __ ] is real, then it all better be real. You know what I mean? So, whenever this trailer happens, whenever something happens to show us what's happening, every single character, including Vega, the most requested character in Street Fighter history, is on that list. It better be real because this is then we just then maybe we could learn something here that this we should not just be listening to randos that have no accountability just saying [ __ ] and being like, "Oh yeah, that could be real." Just because it has something extremely appealing like Vega, you know, the number one character from the Street Fighter 2 animated movie.
So anyway, that's my take on the situation and that's what I'm waiting for. Like I am waiting for whenever this trailer shows up, Vega is the first goddamn character that's there. He's the first goddamn character. He better be because it's the most popular one. There's a couple other characters in there, don't get me wrong. There's a couple other ones, but unless every single character is lining up with what this stuff is saying, I would be pissed off and immediately accounting to all the people that say this stuff is real. You have to like we can't be wishy-washy.
Oh, this kind of came true. This kind of didn't. It's like, no, you said it. It better come true. Everyone's now excited for this stuff. If Vega isn't in it, if he doesn't throw his goddamn mask, I am pissed. I want this [ __ ] This is what I've been waiting for the whole time. And it's clear because it's like the front page of everything. So anyway, unless it's Vega and all the other [ __ ] like it has to be. They It has to be there. How about and and if it's not, how about we just do not take the credibility of leakers anymore because the majority of them are just saying [ __ ] They are just saying [ __ ] Who the hell's Vega?
I mean, don't worry about it. You can look it up. I don't want to talk about the leaks too much. I don't want to talk about Vega because he's the number one most requested character in Street Fighter history. I don't want to talk about that. So, anyway, Sony Sony Vegas, stop spoiling. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just it his face is all over the place. We can't get around it. All I'm saying is that if it's not Vega and those other three characters, the most popular character in those three randos, then there needs to be some accountability.
Like, what the hell? You better be in it. [ __ ] dude. Can't have us not talking about Vega, the most popular Street Fighter character. Anyway, mods, put Max in sub only mode. Um, that's my issue with leaks chat is that uh this stuff is this this [ __ ] just immediately was like this feels like bait. This literally feels like bait and it's doing one thing because it promotes like a fascinating story. People have been wanting Vega in Tekken for so long that now we're just going to put Vega in Street Fighter and it's like really really I feel seen.
Anyway, yeah, this is why and this is why I don't follow leagues because until that day happens, whether it's at Summer Games Fest or whatever, until we get the actual confirmation of this stuff happening, people need to be held accountable for like the random [ __ ] they're saying. And if they're coming out and just saying stuff and it's not right, like random dudes on forums and [ __ ] [ __ ] what the hell? Let's never listen to you ever again because all you're providing is [ __ ] If something just randomly lines up, you know, just for the sake of like darts at a dart board.
Oh, you randomly were right about Vega, the most popular Street Fighter character, [ __ ] Come on. So, anyway, I don't I don't like and I I don't like building up the sensationalism of the whole thing. I don't like it. I don't like it. I feel like we're all just hyping each other up for something that is privy to a limited few people. Like I don't like it until we're all a part of this stuff together. How about we get excited then? You know, cuz until we watch that trailer and literally Vega, Sakura and Manat, and Jury 2, welcome back to the stage of history, Bandit from Bluey.
Until these characters finally show up, the ones that are in the leak lists, then then we can start talking about it. And damn, they were right. Legit [ __ ] were right. And they were 100% right. You know, YoungSheldon, they were 100% right. How the hell did Max call Young Sheldon in Tekken 8? Who's his insider? How does he know? He said that [ __ ] years ago and somehow it happened in 2026. Let's go back. Let's go back and see what he what he's been saying. Jesus Christ, man. So, anyway, that's my take on the whole league thing.
I think it's just hilarious that we'll just listen to anybody any anybody that's some rando with 600, you know, followers or some [ __ ] on Twitter is now Oh, look what this person's saying. It's just all [ __ ] with 30,000 likes. With uh 30,000 likes anyway. yeah. Are you interested in Xenoverse? No. What? No. Remember the first leak? Well, the first leak was The first leak wasn't he said, she said [ __ ] No, no, no, no, no, no. That was e everybody, right? That was that was available to everyone. That's a bit different. That is a bit different.
It was literally official Capcom art that was accidentally put out. Maybe a marketing stunt. Who knows? The first leak was was crazy. We didn't even know if Akuma was going to be DLC at that point. At that point, everybody's privy to the thing, you know, and it was very obviously Yeah, it wasn't [ __ ] It was real. My question is, how could they be using Vega, the most desirable character in Street Fighter history, as bait to get you on board, to make it clickbait, to make it, you know, on the front of all the websites and [ __ ] If Vega isn't in that [ __ ] trailer, people need to be held accountable straight up.
You can't we can't just be getting people excited. The next thing the leakers can do is start start saying [ __ ] like Strider hear you. Okay. And then I'll start reporting on it. I'll start making my my thumbnail accountable. How? This [ __ ] wasn't real. We can't be It's not real. We can't be reporting things that are just [ __ ] I I can make it I can make a trailer right now or a video about Marvel vs. Capcom 5 and start saying some [ __ ] Does it mean it's real? No. We're missing four. What the [ __ ] Like this shit's crazy to me.
that feels like we're living in a fantasy world. I don't [ __ ] get it. So anyway, it's not real. Like also you have to assume after how many leaks have been happening at how many companies in the past like especially at Capcom over the past few years. This is not without any insider information but you have to assume that these dudes know about this [ __ ] And why is there multiple different leaks from credible sources that have completely different rosters? Why is one way more sensational than the other? Well, because it features Vega, you know, getting a little weird.
This the same people that called this stuff before 6 months ago saying there was a leak is now also saying that it's four completely different characters. So, it seems to me that there might be legit effort going on behind the scenes to put fake [ __ ] in there from sources that are credible, right? The people that initially put this [ __ ] out on forums and [ __ ] that were right people like to connect the dots and [ __ ] and they were right in the past like to to get some advant advantageous information, but now there's like multiple different ones, you know?
There's multiple different ones. There's there isn't just one leak DLC season. There's like two or three from people that are apparently they were right before and it's like well Jesus Christ dude. So I don't know man. I'm just like is this all [ __ ] I mean could it is it all is it all just I don't know. You baited us with the FF super super with Alex? Wait, do you mean Alex's level one or his Final Fantasy 7 level two super? What do you mean the the one where he has he literally does the Kenny Omega one-winged angel reference?
What are we talking about? The one that's actually in the game. What are we talking about? Late to the stream. Would you like the leaks to be real or not? I think if Vega isn't in the game, uh, we need to we need to take to the goddamn streets. If here's the thing, if Vega is legit in the game and he is an actual part of this roster moving forward, which is a huge deal, then yes, you should be looking to those people as credible sources of leaks 100%. If it's Vega, cuz he's the most requested character and it's like, okay, this is obviously a big deal.
If if that is true, then yes, all these people that have been saying whatever and reporting and whatever and cooperating whatever and whatever, that is what we should be doing. That's absolutely what we should be doing. Why are we avoiding saying the name? What's the point of it? I'm curious. No, no, I'm not. We're not avoiding the name. We're saying the most requested character in this DLC is literally Vega. It's what everybody wants. It's what everyone's been requesting. And if Vega is not like the final character of that trailer, like, oh, it's a big teaser, all of a sudden, big backflip, the claws come in.
Oh [ __ ] Damn, the leaks were right. That's crazy. The leaks were right. Where are my vegans at, bro? I litered character for me to be in Street Fighter, like ever. Like, I would I would just hands down be super in. I would probably play nothing but Street Fighter 6 for quite a while if Vega was in there. Vegan water. Why do you think I made that joke, dude? I love Vega. Anyway, I still want to see Makoto and Dudley. I still be pretty upset if it's been like that long and we don't have Makoto and Dudley.
So, until that happens, I'm The rest of it is just [ __ ] right? the rest of it. Any other character that's in that trailer, I think it'd be total [ __ ] Anyway, and Shawn, it'd be nice to see Shawn. Abel. I don't give a [ __ ] about Abel. What the hell? I don't give a [ __ ] about Abel, dude. I'm going to be looking at that trailer, dude. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. We got to check out the Ingred trailer as well. Yeah, new trailer from SNK. Really? Damn, a whole bunch of stuff's happening. Why are people saying Roffmonger? What the hell?
What? Why are people saying back to the stage of history? Well, what what did what did Ruf do? He talked about the leaks, but he always does. He always talks about leak stuff. Oh, he cooperated it. Oh, he might he might know something. He might have heard something from similar people that the same guy did. Do I believe it? No, I don't believe [ __ ] until it's officially announced. Dude, I'm not saying he I'm not saying what he's saying is wrong, but it better be Vega. He better be in the goddamn game of history, Chad. It's me.
Okay, I'm just going to break it down to you. It's me. I'm the fourth character. I asked him and I was like, "What about Dudley? What about Violent Ken?" And they're like, "We really just want to put Maximillion Dude in the game." And I'm like, "Me? You want me to voice it?" They're like, "No, no, we're going to get Owen Wilson to voice and be your face." I'm like, "Oh, I don't really agree with that." He's like, "The you don't get to say." And I'm like, "Shit." And then we're going to get Ben Star to do the British version.
I'm like, what? Why do you need a British version? They're said they said, "Shut up." And I'm like, "God damn. So I have no say in this. I'm portrayed by Owen Wilson with the voice of Ben Star." And they're like, "Yes." So I'm here to break that breaking news. I'm the fourth character next to Bandit from Blueie ADTR. Thank you. It was me all along. It's Ganachi again. That's what it is. It is Ganachi again. That's what's crazy. It's Ganachi 2. Where's this Ingred trailer? Fa Wait a minute. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves major update trailer.

Yes, game is very fun. Is is fun game. Um, there's price change news. Have to wait until Evo Japan. Oh man. God damn it. God damn it. There was an hour live stream to say that or was there a bunch of information during the hour live stream? Give me the details, chat. Yo, Jockey Sumo, thank you. That's it.
Oh, this game is so bad. It's really not. It's actually like one of the more fun fighting games out there right now. The The problem is is that it's like for people over the age of 40, which is why I'm almost into it. Like, I'm almost old enough to be into it. game is actually mad good. It's legit my favorite SNK game they have put out in a long time. Like I And I really like KOF 14 and I really like KOF 15. This one is the best one. Like it's just the most fun to play in my opinion.
And it also has actual good net code. That helps, dude. Jesus. You can actually go online and even play it. Um Max K14, [ __ ] Uh Google it. Like literally Google my name in KOF14 and look how much [ __ ] we did for that. That game sucked ass online. But KOF 14 was the game that that introduced me to KOF like mechanics instead of just like hitting buttons. And I played the hell out of it, man. [ __ ] it looked bad. Yeah, don't get me wrong, but it was [ __ ] fun. It was very fun. What's your thought on 13?
It's fun. It's good. I don't like the roster a ton. Didn't love it. Wish the game's net code and matchmaking was in a Sam show game. Did they not retroactively put that in a Sam show game? What the hell? Uh, next. All right. Ingrid got an official gameplay trailer trying to distract us from the Vega leak. Man, son of a [ __ ] Or was it the maybe it's the Rento leak or the Manat leak or can't remember. It's one of those one of the 15 characters that has been leaked. Uh moving on. Let's see how crazy she is.
Are they going to make her just I want her to turn into a space alien. I want at some point in this trailer for her to grab the zipper above her head like it's Men in Black one and it just reveals the most craziest like cosmic horror creature. I want that. That should be her wind pose or some [ __ ] OF THE CHARACTERS. OH, what the hell am I looking at? She should we we should see her for how she actually is this cosmic entity. What am I? I am many things. An extradimensional being, a peacekeeper, a guardian angel, a code holder.
Bro, a code holder. I'll talk later. A code holder. Jesus, dude. Greetings. Wow. Wow. She is maximum effort. She has her own anime music. Oh my god, bro. Dude, why is she so high effort? That's insane. What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] Full teleport projectile combos from full screen. There is a lot of throwback moves. Want to play Ingrid in Fighting Jam. She's also in Cross Tekken. Weird [ __ ] You're a millennial to You're a millennial. Right on time. Guilty. Oh, she's outzoning the zoner. Okay, I see it. She's totally She's mega zoner, dude. There's a depiction in this trailer.
She's outzoning the zoner. Her classic outfit looks very good. I hated this character so much for so long, but this is so much effort, dude. Huh? What in the hell? She has like a hammer of dawn. [ __ ] did you just grow wings? This looks very fun. Some of this stuff looks mad annoying. I power onto you. You need an example here. Oh. I can't say no to this. Off I go. That is the wildest. So they did it. They they menoded Ingred, right? Where like Menot was crazy in terms of like what a character could be in Street Fighter, but she was still pretty grounded.
Now this character is crazy and not grounded. Oh, keep going. Oh, it's not. I'm sorry. I forgot I have an urgent matter. You babysit this one for a while. Come on, bro. Could you set that up after a stun combo? Could you set that up after a wall stun? Maybe you'd have enough time. Too long. Even after a wall stun, is it just for goofs or Huh? Huh? You can't set up bisons. Yeah, you couldn't set up bisons or akumas. They just took too that goddamn long. That's actually really funny. Reminds me of um [ __ ] who did that?
MK11. Uh, Bug Chick. What was her name? What was her name? D'vorah. Thank you. Yeah, that's cute. I like I like funny ass cute gameplay things. You'll be able to do that against the computer, you know? I wanted that to actually happen. I want I want somebody at the highest level of competition to lose to that little piece of [ __ ] Like, that's what I want. I want at the highest level of competition. Somebody's going to lose to this thing a little bit. Just drop it like a few frames one for a while. We need to allow for things like this to happen.
Okay, let's loosen it up. It should die in one hit. It should die in one hit. Make it bad. um I will say there is a reason why people feel the way they do about Ingrid and it was because she was directly attached to like trashy games, right? She was either a reused asset put into specific versions of games like Alpha 3 Max or she was in a trashy game which was Street Fighter uh or Capcom Fighting Jam, right? And her association by and large, which is why there was so so much animosity towards her, is because she was like the hero character of what was one of the most socially unacceptable Capcom fighting games there was because yeah, it sucked.
It was like there was an expectation that Capcom fighting games should be good and she was the hero character in a game that sucked. So, it's really weird to me to see maximum effort because she looked fine in the old game. She looked fine, but she was she felt extremely uninspired, you know? She felt like she's just trying to be an SNK character. Um, and now she is going all over the place, dude. She's What the hell is this? They fully leaned into the weirdness of the character. And let me tell you guys one crazy thing.
Call me what you wish. It's me, Ingrid. Wait for it. Oh, wait. Tell me what you wish. An extra dimensional being, a peacecaper, a guardian angel, a cold holder. Chad, do you know what a code holder is? I don't blame you, you stupid bastards. Cuz it was a game that never existed. It's for a game that literally never existed called Street Fighter Allstars. And it was a 3D Capcom fighting game that happened a long time ago that was in arcades, but it was arcade location tested. Never came out. Never. It eventually got cancelled. So, um, if I just Google Capcom cold Holder, what the what are what are the other weird [ __ ] Uh, the the two main weirdo, the cowboy guy and some [ __ ] in in the front of the code holder.
Uh, Dee and Rook. Thank you. Freaking Dee and Rook. Oh my god, man. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Let me in. Wow. Uh, where is the code holders? See, she is the code holder with these two guys, DD and Rook. Characters that have just been previously a part of a Capcom fighting game. They they just look like SNK characters, but you know, have not historically been because their game never existed. So, her and the other two [ __ ] in here are the code holders. And there was just a bunch of Capcom fighting game characters all over the place.
They're canon. They are actually canon. Yes, they are in the Street Fighter website. They're actually canon, but they never came out. They never were actually revealed. There's footage of YouTube of CFAS, right? there is from the location test in the first trailer. I know I was looking forward to it. I was on SRK when the location test footage was posted and people were playing it. We were all very excited for it until it never happened. Till it never happened. So yeah, that's what Cold Holder is. she this she was technically the main character of a once canceled Capcom fighting game and then they put her into the next Capcom Fighting Allstars which was Bunk which was Capcom Fighting Jam.
Uh anyway, that's her that's her history but not like this like this version of the character this [ __ ] her being this wild inter interdimensional being and stuff. She's She's kind of been a weird godly character before, but she just looked like a school girl who didn't give a [ __ ] Now, now she's a lot more. She's so well animated, dude. Holy [ __ ] This is crazy. Here's the thing I really appreciate about Street Fighter is that for as much as you don't like maybe jive with the game because the game just has not changed that much over the past four years.
Um, three years. Four years. Three years. No, it has been four years. We were playing betas in 2022. Four years. Um, when they release a DLC character, holy [ __ ] It's like you see the effort, right? You actually see how much effort they're putting into their characters, man. There's not a lot there's not a lot of crazy like rehash and all that kind of stuff. No, no, no, dude. They are they are going ham on some of these characters, dude. Like, I would not expect them to put this much effort into Ingrid. In fact, I'd argue of all the characters we saw throughout this season, the one that didn't hit the most for me in terms of visual presentation, it was really cool.
But this is like arguing 10 out of 10 to a nine out of 10 was Viper. Yeah, Sagot. No, dude. Sagot is literally the best he's ever been. Sagot is actually the best he's ever looked. He's incredible. I think Viper was a little off. Just a little. I I think Sagot arguably has the best depiction he's ever had in a Street Fighter game. Um, Alex looks great in visuals. And if you don't play World Tour, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. Just don't play the world tour mode. Just delete world tour. Be like me. Never play it.
You don't need to play it. Just delete it. You'll be fine. Uh, let's do um damn 0.25 playback. Let me see. Let's do The wonderful thing about Street Fighter trailers. always do this is that they don't break apart when you slow them down. They actually get better. They actually get better. Oh yeah, the the green stuff. Much better. Much better, bro. Holy mother of God. Holy mother of God. How does it actually get better? Thought Viper was I think Viper was fun, but I think visually she wasn't as good as the other two or the other three now.
Is that a physical counter? Holy mother of God, man. How much she also looks a lot more polished than obviously the world tour stuff. This always happens, dude. I need I have to remind you chat to stop being upset about the world tour stuff because I'm always going to be more polished. I'm never upset. I never criticize the world tour stuff ever. Never. Ever. Ever. She's definitely making this game look crazy. What the hell, man? You got effectively the most grounded, rooted, Street Fightery ass Street Fighter character with Alex and now you got the most insane space [ __ ] Wow.
Without h without the other costume. Jesus, dude. This is going to be a She's going to be a nightmare. She's going to be a nightmare, dude. The fact that they're depicting her out zoning the premium zoner of the game. She's going to be a nightmare. What the hell is that? Does she have some She has some wild ass install, dude. No, that is that why her drive rush looks so slow? Wow. Zap. Where are you going? What is this? Oh, she's on a pole. She's on a space pole. Bro, these animations are insane. These animations are insane.
How they all still hold up and every frame, even with green [ __ ] What is happening? Wow, she looks low damage but no health. I don't think we see any life bars anywhere. Holy [ __ ] dude. Yeah. I mean, it's funny to me that her classic outfit looks so good now. I was saying it a long time ago. The only way you're going to get people on board with Ingrid is if she goes through like big changes and I think they have done a pretty good job. She she adds a layer to the game that the game doesn't look like this, right?
The game visually does not look like this until you put her on the screen, which I think is valuable. That's kind of cool. Yeah, maybe her installs are the beam. There's no way to tell, man. Wow, dude. She literally has a goddamn hype beam that you can combo after. This is so effed. This is so effed. Jesus, This is so effed. Oh my god. I'm going to have to read the blog. So funny seeing JP trying to sweep somebody. Am I going to play her? She drops. I definitely want to try her. Yeah, definitely want to try her.
Is she a character that would ever be for me? Dude, look at this crazy chick. No, but I'm mad curious. I'll be honest, the character that vied with me the most of this entire season, I loved playing Sagot. He was just so much fun. I think they finally got Sagot like in a really good spot and interesting and fun. And in cuz in Street Fighter 5, dude, I remember trying Sagot in Street Fighter 5 and I played like what like like 10 minutes of training mode and I'm like, I'm good. Straight checked the [ __ ] out and I was like, nope, I'm good, man.
I'm good. Uh, impressive. Yeah, that's very impressive. How bad was he? It's not that he was bad. I just found him brutally uninteresting. And that was the issue with a lot of characters at the time in Street Fighter 5 is that characters were just uninteresting. But what happened right when Sagot came out, dude, G happened. And G was super interesting. Like, what the hell? And he was mad fun. So yeah, I just played G instead. I wasn't expecting that. The nice part is that Sagot was legit fun to play. Like I liked his new wreck overhead stuff, all that weird [ __ ] He was legit fun to play.
We got him a master and everything. I had a good time. The president of Earth. Last Ingred was an evil Ingrid. Who is this? Uh, was she evil? Was she evil? Somebody said, uh, somebody said to giving Ingred a shot. Yes, I plan on winning Evo. Watch. I plan on winning EVO. That's it. We're We're getting back into it. I'm I'm straight ditching this family thing. This family [ __ ] I'm ditching it. Full commitment, dude. We're leaning into that [ __ ] Tough. Or I can play it like a normal person. Check it out and play some Third Strike after.
Uh hold on a second. Dude, going back to Third Strike has been after three years of not playing 3S. That [ __ ] has been transformative, chat. Three years of not playing Third Strike and coming back to it, I'm like, "This is just the greatest [ __ ] fighting game ever made. It's just the best." And I had not touched that game in that long. I could not believe how good it felt. Just raw feel. Like immediately, just feel. I was garbage at it. I was bad. But [ __ ] dude. I don't get it. It's just some games just click, man.
They're just immediately like this my [ __ ] I'm like that guy with the golden eye cartridge. somebody said to check out the Japanese trailer. Third Strike was still great on RPCS3. It was actually mad good. Uh, hold on a second. Ingrid Street Fighter JP. What's different in this one? Is there anything different? It's the same. Bro, why does she have this voice? And if if you don't know who this character is, you're not a real weeb. You're a fake ass weeb. You're a You're a huge fake ass weeb, bro. Why does she have this voice? Why does she sound like Wu?
Like she sounds she sounds like an old lady in a younger body, right? Oh, he knows how to ball. See, that's the Come on, dude. Oh my god. I actually think I like the Japanese voice a lot too because she sounds old. It's an anime archetype actually. No, I just discovered it. This is not an an No, I just discovered this. Okay, I'm taking the credit. Put it in the wiki. I'm going to say, Capcom, the last two trailers and your choice of music, if not getting these new completely original vocal tracks for these characters, has been very good.
This has been very good. Jesus, they did they literally do the jaws shut like she was a horrible monster. They do. What? What's it called? The dolly zoom. Like she's some terrifying creature. She's uncanny. Yeah. Yeah. That's the intention of that shot. It's meant to be extremely uncomfortable, right? This psychotic space [ __ ] is about to ruin this game. Zap. Zap. Zap. Zap. Zap. Damn, dude. I think it's impressive. I just think it's impressive. Wow. They did not have to go this hard. I don't envy the ranked grinders though, right? The people that grind this game, I don't envy you.
You know, me jumping in and having fun and zapping people going to be a good time. But having to deal with this [ __ ] oh boy, I'm so scared. If you've committed your life to Street Fighter 6 and you see this character, you probably don't feel the excitement that I feel, which is like, "Wow, this is a really high quality, cool looking character." You're probably like, "Jesus Christ, I'm going to lose so much, you know, battle points, master point, whatever the hell I'm going to drop so many goddamn points." This is why rank grinding will cause brain damage.
Um, cool. Cool. Seeing a character outzone JP is pretty nuts. That is pretty nuts. She looks mad complicated, which I think is cool. I think she should be mad complicated. You know what I like? I like that she looks like a mad complicated zoner, which is usually the dichconomy I appreciate about zoning characters, you know, where if you make a zoner like way too easy to use, it just is degenerate and not that much fun. Uh JP as an example, JP is a character that historically has not been super easy to use in like the first little bit, even though you figure out how to play Street Fighter 6 a little easy, bro.
But eventually people get the hang of it. So imagine if it was just super easy to do across the board. Happy Chaos. Yeah, Happy Chaos was that. Imagine if Happy Chaos was that easy to use across the board where every single person knew how to use it, you know? Bro, bro, it would be a nightmare. So, it's like I think it's kind of neat that you get these characters that are very good zoners. Morgan's also another good example where no, you got to work your ass off for this [ __ ] dude. It's a high skill ceiling that's going to have to get mitigated, but I think that is good.
I think high skill ceiling zoners is cool. I think that is something that should be generally supported. You know, we don't need any more dead shots. We don't We don't need any more dead shots or Jackies. Don't need that. Where's her blog? You know, Ang's Lauren Street Fighter crossing. She's in the endings in Street Fighter cross second, right? and grid guests vlog. Oh, pin comment. Thank you. Ingred breakdown. How many godlike characters are there in the Street Fighter series? Onie technically, how many characters are actually gods? Gil Gil's trying to become Gil's trying to become a god.
That's like his whole thing. He's getting his congregation, right? Like that's like his his ordeal. G is literally a god. I think it's kind of Chad. Anybody notice that G and uh Ingrid have similar effects? Does anybody notice? They have like relatively similar hit sparks about their [ __ ] I I I'm going to make a prediction. Here's my prediction. Um, Ingred's ending, her arcade mode ending, uh, features G. He'll just be in it. I think he'll he'll have a he'll have a part in it. I think he'll be there, which is kind of neat. G's got to be an alien.
The G has to be a weirdass alien, Hello there, Terren. Ingred here to talk to you directly about how wonderful I'm going to be when I join Street Fighter 6 roster on May 28th. We're already in the sixth installment. Feels like just a few seconds ago when I graced you with my presence, albeit not a mainline series. How do you tear and say it? It's been a long time coming. And some obsession with the number 67. You all started saying, "Chat, you're making a fool of yourself. You're making a fool of yourself in front of the demigod space alien crazy character.
You're making an absolute fool of yourself. You understand that? You need to stop this 67 [ __ ] or Ingrid is going to torment the roster. She's going to make this she's going to make this game so hard to get into for so many people. You have to stop. Okay? You make making you all look like morons. Uh Terran Civilization has a long long road ahead of it, bro. She's here. I mean, she should say she's here to take over Tik Tok. Yeah, that's a good call. I, Ingred, the extradimensional woman of mystery, first appeared in Capcom Fighting A.
We don't need to talk about this. Uh, and then tore another fabric of reality to Street Fighter Alpha 3. All right. An asset dump. Back then, you weren't using any of these leverless controller. Damn, I like her already. She should have called them weirdass leverless controllers. I've been seeing in your dimension, but it makes me giddy to see more ways to play. Oh man, come on. After all these years, I sensed a worrying singularity. So, I decided to see where it led. And poof, I'm in Street Fighter 6. Oho ho ho ho ho. Now, I know I love the way this is written, by the way.
Now, I know you're busy with your 9to-fives or your homework or running little errands. But if you're curious about my cosmic powers manifest, I'll indulge you. Meet me in world tour. No, you're asking too much. I I've I've been traumatized. Okay. Where you and I can increase our bond. Preferably not. I just I'm a little concerned after what's happened over the past month or so. We're good though. It'll be fun just going into training mode. Don't worry. I'm going to be easy on you, Terrans. I use the full extent of my powers. You won't exist to read this blog on something called Steam.
Damn. Somebody at Capcom USA had a lot of fun with this [ __ ] Someone at Capcom USA had a lot of fun with this [ __ ] They patched Alex's story. Shut the hell up. They did not patch Alex's story. They didn't. And I'm the president of the United States or something. Let's start with the sunshot where I shoot a dazzling ball of light in front of me that briefly stops before launching away like your hopes and dreams. I like her. Depending on the button you press, how long you hold it, I can charge at speed and angle.
The overdrive, what does that even mean? Version of sunshot adds more hits and more force. She's fourth wall breaking. I just realized that is that she's actually she's actually fourth wall breaking in Street Fighter 6. Huh. She's almost like like Street Fighter Deadpool. Yeah. Cool. I like it. You just noticed I just made this observation way faster than any of you did. Okay. Uh the best thing about OD sunshots is that you can fire them with regular shots and are lingering to create a stunning display of lights across the screen. And that's your cue to ooh and ah.
If a ball of light seems fleeting at you, then behold sunflare where you shoot a beam of light towards. Before I explain, I want you to let you know a little power mine called sun crests. Oh my god. I infuse myself with the power of the sun and can have up to four of them at the same time or at a time. Use the light version of sunflare to see me do a cute cosmic girl pose and one to store and to store one sun crest. Hold the power down to store them faster. Dude, she's a chores character.
Sunrests increase the number of hits, range, and follow-up potential for heavy and OD versions of Sunflare. Up to two Sunrests are used at once. What in the hell? Little like Jury. Yeah. Um, in your dimension, the sun comes from above. So, I have an ability called Solar Burst where I shoot a beam of light across or downward while in the air like a sunflower, the light version in the air and the sour sunrest. And this is turning into mush in my head. Bro, you're funny. Terran making a big deal out of sun appearing every day.
So, I named this next move Sunrise. A spinning attack akin to my past move set. The light version is a great anti-air. Uh, the medium version useful for combos and can be cancelceled from light attacks. How much money do we have that she's going to have a completely invulnerable wake up? are we going to assume that she's just going to get an invincible DP of some kind? Or is she going to be like JP where JP has to use a big old meter? She doesn't. Do they confirm it? Uh, the heavy version requires a bit of finesse, but if it connects, you can follow up the moves like Solar Burst.
The OD version is safe on block, and the third attack of the move can cancel into a super art. You'll have trouble landing a hit on my glorious form with Sunvil, a counterattack where I nullify an attack and drop your tush back where it belongs, away from me. While it can absorb projectiles, it won't stop super arts or any attack that hits multiple times. The OD version comes out much quicker and is a great option after getting knocked down. In case you're wondering, I'm letting you knock me down. Funny. One last special. Dude, there are so many.
Uh, the dramatic vanishing sun. I can teleport with three options to really keep you guessing. So, can you do it any direction? Press forward teleports me forward with a kick and is safe on block. Pressing down teleports me above you where I unleash a downward attack. It's not really that fast coming out. But the flip side is it's plus on block. What? Pressing back teleports me away so I can observe. She doesn't need like anks or anything to teleport to them. She can just go to it. Huh. Yeah. So, she technically has like neutral skips.
Huh. Cool. Okay. onto my super art. Level one, shining sun is where I set a series of magical kicks. It's invincible and startup of course as many level ones are. Best part uh is I'll expend one sun crest to power up the attack, but I have multiple stacked up only button down. So, it seems like yeah, if she's talking about this one being invincible, which is obvious that this might be the one thing. It might be the one thing means more damage if you end at the other side of the screen. And it's a screen carry super.
Okay. Order of the sun. Uh the hammer of dawn into the sky depending on the button pressed. A shower of solar power rains. The sunrest stock. Holding down the button will result in increased amount of shooting stars. After firing this move, stage is set. The audience is seated. It's time to see how well you dance. See if you can block all my hits. Wow. Level three cosmic ray. Very fancy. She looks like a demon. My outfit too is inspired by my first appearance. Completely stylish purple school gore uniform. Let me get the script out really fast and read it out loud.
Owners. Oh, about to verbatim this. Um, Bionara. Well, okay. You know, that definitely wasn't the most exciting character of the entire season, but for me personally, she's even surpassed like Sea Viper. And Se Viper was pretty neat. She was kind of cool. I knew I wouldn't be like super jing with her, but I think I'm more curious about how this chick plays than anything. Alt outfit three. No, no, that is something you made up and then I just made it show up here. All four characters from the past will have their outfit threes out at the same time.
You guys want outfits so bad. Holy [ __ ] You guys want skins so bad. I was thinking it was going to talk about her outfit three. [ __ ] you guys want skins so bad. It's crazy. It's insane, dude. They don't Skins don't do that much for me. They can be cool if they I think I'm only into skins if I'm super invested into a character and I like love playing the character to death, you know? I just love playing the character to death and yeah, I'll be into the skin. So, I guess it makes sense. Ken, no.
Oh, dude. I haven't played Ken since 202 [ __ ] three, brother. You love Ken? I I the way the way the community acted around Ken made me not like that character back in 2023. So, no, I have not played Ken at all since then. I have not literally touched the character like maybe at all ever since that came out. 2023 was like last year, right? Yeah. Right. [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] A [ __ ] Why the community influence you? Because I because every you don't remember how godamn bad it was because Ken was considered one of the better characters in the game.
[ __ ] you don't not remember how bad it was to play this [ __ ] character, right? It was terrible, dude. Ken's not a problem now. Yeah, but I'm already soured. Um, which is why, you know, I would prefer to play Terry. I just prefer to play Terry. [ __ ] acted. Yeah, people were, dude, the way people were acting this, which sucks to be in my situation. If I was sitting alone playing a game, it would have no influence on me. I wouldn't give a [ __ ] But the problem is is that I'm [ __ ] streaming. And I want my audience to be into this [ __ ] as much as I do.
And so many of so many people just [ __ ] sucked about it where it's like, well, I'm just don't want to play anymore. I just don't want to play anymore. which is usually why I vibe the most and play the a lot of games that um that a ton of people aren't playing because people just enjoy you playing it which is yeah I get into it easier. It's much easier being influenced by [ __ ] Why are you picking OP meta character? Exactly. It's so much easier just to sit and play [ __ ] But I think I actually like the way Terry plays better than Ken and no kidding [ __ ] Uh, I like actually play Lars despite he's hated.
Mother, dude, you brain damage Tekken fans realize that you that people complain about Lars. Okay, but the problem is is that Tekken fans complain about [ __ ] everything. So you're what you guys say means nothing. That's the problem. And as somebody that has been a part of the Tekken community for a couple years and interested where the game's going and has been playing it a bit, you know, the problem is is that you guys have ruined any conversation that is going to be had about that [ __ ] Hate Bears, you hate King fans, you hate this. And it was like every time I thought about switching characters, it was like, "Oh, but that character's this.
Oh, but that charact's always there's no conversation to be had." Like, so I'm like, "I don't give a [ __ ] I'm just going to play what I what I care about. The problem is with Street Fighter is that no, like clearly some characters were better than others, you know? Clearly some characters were just playing the game better. And I thought I thought Ken was was in the same way that Ken played Third Strike better, Ken was also playing Street Fighter 5 better at the time. Yeah, he was playing SF5 very hard and it was working out.
People [ __ ] when you were playing Noctis and seven was top tier and busted. Yeah, but he wasn't like we knew like he [ __ ] wasn't. And again, Tekken players, you know, Tekken players, you got a ton of Steam friends. I do. Um, anyway, yeah, I think she looks cool. I think she looks cool. You know what Tekken fans deserve? Akuma. No, Shin Akuma with jumping double fireballs. That's what you guys should get. Need Akuma with jumping double fireballs. It's time. It's time to really It's time to really put up or shut up. It's time to weed out this community.
We're going to see who's really going to stay, you know? And we're going back to delaybased net code. I really want to play that [ __ ] Tekken update, dude. God damn it. Ever since that second update, I really want to try it. [ __ ] Ever watch the update for Sparking Zero? No, because I don't really want to play Sparking Zero. We can check out supers later on, but no. Yo, Hackbase, thank you, dude. Ian Moisuki, uh, Vani Very, Cold Brew Coffee, Soul Alistister, Olly, Andrew, thank you, dudes. Uh, Shadow Mape, thanks for the 20. Ingrid sensed Alex's BS and said the Taran needs to have history changed and erased.
Yeah, they could have literally tied it into her story. We talked about that. We talked You going to play any MK game movies uh NK games in a few weeks with the movie coming out? Uh, I mean, are you trying to give me a reason to play Mortal Kombat X? You trying to give us a reason to jump in and play more MKX? I mean, bro, MK1, MKX, though. MKX though. Any other trailers, chat? Any other uh crazy news? Any other crazy info? A second. Let me check. Coyote versus Acme trailer was kind of cute.
Yeah, the Clayface uh teaser was amazing. I thought that was really cool. But movie stuff, you know. Shuhei news. Shuhei Yosha just out here confirming the things that we've always known. That's it. That's it. Shuhei Yosha just once again confirming even more how much Jim Ryan sank this entire era of PlayStation. That guy was running a generational [ __ ] show. What did he say? He pretty much said that he was forced out. Welcome back to that he was he was fired for potentially telling them that their ideas about where they're taking PlayStation were not good and not wanting to do it.
So he like moved them out. He like pretty much pushed him out. The one of the founding fathers of PlayStation. Jesus Christ, it's messed up. It's all whack. Yo, Sver one, thank you. Almighty ham sandwich. Appreciate it, guys. Game Pass news. Yeah, I mean, that's okay. Game Pass is like getting cheaper, but they're taking out Call of Duty. Will you watch the Xbox showcase tomorrow? I didn't even know that [ __ ] was happening. There's an Xbox showcase tomorrow around what did they say? What? Is it indie games? Could be cool. Did you beat Pragmata? No, we're um we're going to beat it tonight most likely.
Yeah, we have to fire up uh we have to sack out Dragon Ball. Um I want to see that how that character plays. And then probably have to beat Pragmata tonight. Dad Mada Diamond Goku is moving around like a modded character. What is that? A combo for us to try. What? This is great. Holy [ __ ] the damage, bro. Are you doing that much solo? Was that 8,500 damage for a solo level one? Was he like, was there a sparking happening or some [ __ ] There isn't. Jesus Christ. Is there any Is there any conditions or is that just his solo standing?
Well, it is like a heavy starter. It's a heavy starter. When's the last time I played Dragon Ball Fighters? A little while ago. Um, we can find out. we go. Um, we can we can literally find out. I think it was like uh it was back when Diamond was announced. We went back and just did training mode stuff and I just I literally sat in this [ __ ] training mode for like six hours again. I had a great time. No, I don't think that was it. Hold on. The Yu-Gi-Oh mod. Yeah, it was like six months ago.
Jesus, that was Jesus. Jesus. But we found some [ __ ] dude. That I that I've completely forgotten, fortunately. There we go. Oh no, it's working out now, dude. Boom. That's so much damage off of a couple of crouching light attacks. SSJ Goku got nerfed again. Did anything happen to Baby Goku Black or Super Broly? Did anything happen to Super Broly? Did they give him anything? I saw that, dude. They gave um there was actually balance changes that they didn't talk about. They legit had balance changes. I was like, "What the hell?" Goku Black lost his EX dive kick loops.
Okay. Yeah, these routes were fun. These routes were Jesus, bro. And I did every character throughout the whole night. This [ __ ] is very fun. I forgot all of it. But you got to check out Daima. That's the problem, dude. Is that Dragon Ball's so like fascinating from a combo optimization standpoint that it's really addictive to discover one thing and then discover another and then discover another that you get vortexed mad [ __ ] hard. Do I watch Dragon Ball? No, not really. Tequila Sunrise. Thank you, Sab One. Amy ham sandwich. Did I download the update? The fun part is relearning.
Yeah, it is. Did I go through every character combo trials? Hell no. Oh, that's right. I have to buy this [ __ ] I actually have to buy him. Oh fudge. Oh no. What is your current favorite fighting games? Um Pragmata. Second. Let me go down to this one. That does not have a lot of positive reviews. Interesting. Eight bucks. Ah, whatever. Let me have it. Let me have it. Do it. Install it. Yeah, that's kind of expensive, right? Or is it their DLC packs or what what was the compendium before? Like how much did Android 21 cost because she was a solo, right?
It went up. It was $5.99. Oh, okay. Yeah, that did seem like a bit much. All right, I got to get the [ __ ] configured. Hold on. Lar, thank you. YOU KNOW WHAT'S CRAZY TO ME IS THAT DRAGON Ball Fighters still feels like it is a new game. It still feels like it's it was not been out that long. Is that weird? Not that it gets brand new, but not not not that it like is nearly a 10-year-old game. Doesn't feel like it's been around that long. It looks like it came out a few goes. You're not wrong.
You're not wrong. Oh god, no. We're back. Oh god, no. This game's online would give me a conipion fit, dude. Those were rough days, man. This [ __ ] would send me into a [ __ ] depression. fighter. Unfortunate for how much fun I would have with it. Let's go even further beyond. This is the dude, brother. This game is the perfect example of people completely willing to put up with trash [ __ ] if they love it. This game's online and lobby system [ __ ] was insanely bad. It was [ __ ] awful. But people didn't care. There were plenty of other games that had great online and functioned awesome.
People didn't give a [ __ ] dude. Look at this. Look at this game. Look at it. It's [ __ ] amazing. People didn't give a [ __ ] We beat him. Just hurry it up, dummy. It's Dragon Ball. It's fine. Exactly. That was I mean that's proving my point. Remember the first time I played it through Parseek? It was a transcending experience after so many years of literally being tortured by playing this game online. I could not believe. I could not believe it, dude. Oh my god. Wait. Oh Jesus. Okay. Oh, I do everything manually in this game. Really dumb.
What is restart again? Over there. Um, YOU BE GOOD. HE'S DRAGON BALLING. THAT'S CRAZY. Famous is still so sick. It really is. Which is why I was somewhat disappointed by um them not adding in crossplay. Dude, I do hope that if uh you know that if there is a future for this game and Bandai Namco is trying to continue it in some way that this character is essentially a test for that. Um because we did find out it that that tweet was not confirming that Arc System Works worked on it. It mostly seemed like they weren't.
The translation was weird. So if Mandco is trying to do this [ __ ] wow. Um then I hope they do. I hope I hope the characters just get better and better and better and their resources just get higher and higher and higher where they can keep supporting this, you know, even without Arc System Works being at the helm. I hope so. I really do. They should hire some modders, bro. I mean, honestly, they should just give them all the access to all the tools. Okay, so what do we got? How does this kid work? Okay, so you can wreck out of this fireball forward.
gotcha. Okay, then you can do that. Gotcha. So, it's like, can I do anything weird out of it? I can just not commit. Ooh, and there's where that is. That seems pretty good. Seems pretty good. I GOT MORE. OH, THIS IS where the grab also comes from. I got more for you. Interesting. Can I get this from like anything? I have to manually dash. Oh, wow. That is hella fast. Okay, so it's a super baby grab. It's not a fireball back, but fireball up grab. Too bad for you. Actually, I'm getting bored. Too bad for you.
Wow, it is a real grab. Why you guys saying it doesn't develop by Arc? This looks okay to you? He looks mostly okay. Um, but he has like like a large percentage of recycled moves where he doesn't actually have a ton of original assets all over him. Um, so it's mostly them pulling things from like the rest of the game to make it happen, which is fine. Nothing wrong with that. Uh, it's just that it is showing it. It he feels a bit closer to what like modders have been doing for a while. He's an official mod to a degree, but there's a little bit more polish in here than that.
Oh, that's his auto combo. Okay. There's a video showing all his animations, their original. Show me. The stuff that we were looking at was lining up with the skeletons of all the rest of the cast. This is very much the super baby throw. this very much looked like Nappa's Air Dash. Uh, if you mean like the one from the anime. We're not talking about the anime. Talking about the stuff that came from other characters in the game. Wait, what is your what is your S move? Whoa, your S attack is mad weird. Hold up. This is odd.
Oh, in the air it's something else. can I press a button afterward? Dude, this is so weird that he doesn't have a traditional key blast. He literally has a rushing punch. No way. Huh? weird. Let's fireball forward, fireball back. That's why this game doesn't have BP inputs. So, can I flip forward? Oh, carry, right? Yeah, it was. It beats all other key blasts but beams. Okay. So, you're telling me that this goes has like a travel through. Okay. It's still a key blast, but it can be dashed on block. Weird. That's weird. So, how do we Nice try, right?
Fireball back, fireball forward. IS THAT IT? GOD DAMN IT. OH, I'm not able to dash out of that. Yeah, this looks like the Trunks or Roshi flip. Um, you can charge down heavy. You can charge heavy. This is what we saw people doing. Yeah, there's a normal one and there's a big fat slam. Okay. Fireball back S is beam. I don't think so. Unless my beam is the wrong [ __ ] button. It doesn't seem like it. Ah. Oh, flipping and then dipping. Damn it. Can I like Can I like stall? Okay. Can I do air action?
Air action. Air action. Nice. Wait a minute. Damn. That's a little crazy. Yeah, this is some tricky [ __ ] Ex flip is broken. Unironically, you can get full control from mixups like Trunks. And you can also cancel it into the other one. Damn. Wow. Uh, that seems like a lot. Seems like a lot. What is this assist? What is this assist? Let's get basic. Check out the other ones. Almost. This guy thinks he's Sonic the Hedgehog. Oh, wow. ALMOST. Too bad for you. Cool. Does he have like Whoa. Oh, that did not set up for that.
Maybe bad. Son of a [ __ ] NOT TOO BAD FOR YOU. OH, that's not giving me wall bounce for some reason. I don't know why. Why? Why? There it does. There. I got more. Maybe I do the medium one. No, that [ __ ] don't work. That [ __ ] don't work. Weird. Yeah, I didn't even check out supers yet. So, is that it? It's pretty much um fireball forward this stuff. Uh fireball back into How many options do I get here? I get the fireball forward, fireball back. Anything else? I can do double flip. That's cool. That's cool. There's a lot of there's a lot of crazy ass mobility on here.
Um, fireball back and then that I like his air key blast. This is neat. this this looks mad cool. I heard this was insane. He might be up there having one of the better two L's in the game. Oh, but it can't be rapid fired. Oh, can't be rapid fired. That might be a little too crazy. Yeah. Fireball back to beam. Am I missing anything? He actually seems pretty simple outside of the crazy interpretation of all of his like mobility. He doesn't have a lot of moving around and type of [ __ ] Ah, that's that's one I missed.
So, nice try. Is that jump cancel? Not almost. it Oh, you can air dash at her. Cool. Um, interesting. Then how about I do like this projectile a lot. This one's kind of sick. where is quick move? Damn it. Is that the right A? Oh, no. That's from hurts. Oh no, this is the crazy ass [ __ ] You're pretty good. That seems [ __ ] right? Too slow. Give me a break. Then how about a break? Like, and then you ex flip. Call another assist from that side. Dude, that seems super good. Ex flip is even worse. Holy Second shot.
We go. Um H too slow. Just wow. Give me a break. Okay, that seems like a lot. Yeah, that seems like a lot. It seems like from even a very early mediocre understanding of the game. That shit's going to be crazy. Like, he just gets to naturally flip both sides with an assist like no problem. Can Do I have like a really good crossover? Not bad. What he does? Wow. They weren't even afraid to give it to him. They're like, "Yeah, YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD. I'M getting bored." Uh, okay. I'm getting bored. Okay. Wow. Um, any other things I'm missing on specials?
Special move list. Super back jump. Kamehameha. No, that's it, dude. I'm getting What was this one? Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. Not chill. And you can't cancel this into the other level one without being the final character, right? You need like the limiter off. What? No, it just lets me. Does that completely nerf the damage though? Because when you do level one to level one historically, like you destroy the damage. So, does that make it scale like really hard? It's just a level two. Oh my god. Oh my god. Really? It's just a level two.
Um, wait a minute. Yeah. Is this what people were talking about? You can TOD with him with seven bars. Who can't TOD in this game? Um, hold on. This is pretty hype ass super. The JPEG is funny. It is funny. Watch out. Dude, you can like get it to not what is that? No way. Almost So you do not have to get the full confirmation. It acts like a Ken Shinriukin. Yeah, you're pretty good. And I Oh, no. It still worked. It actually still worked. People have found ways to combo after that. I'd imagine. Is that a full Yeah, he's teching at the bottom, brother.
He's actually teching out at the bottom. So what I wonder. Oh my god. You just mash. You just You just can mash. What? Not this one. Not this one. Hold up. Not that one either. Ll down. M. No hit. What the [ __ ] Uh, okay. I mean, I guess I could also just raw tag it. That's really cool. You good? No, I can't. I can't raw tag that. This is going to give me super no matter what. I just want to see. Yeah, maybe I can jump. What the [ __ ] Oh my god, I forgot everything. Okay, maybe not quite.
Maybe not absolutely everything. I got to get off of baby. Got to get off of baby. I have to get off of this [ __ ] Um anyway, Amazing. And you probably don't get a level three there. So, how does this I think his level three actually looks really cool. Damn it. Some things on the character look a little funky, don't get me wrong, but I think his level three looks really cool. And then the expansion. That was great. That was great. See, this is where I'm at where it's like if this is if this is the the first Bandai Namco character that they are trying, I think it's a pretty decent idea that they could make their own.
You know, them emulating the Arcs style to move forward. It feels a little BME, you know, not to add drama to it. It feels like a little bit of bad manners where it's like we're we're just going to take your style, you know, bad mannersy. We're going to take your style and your animation look and we're going to try to emulate it for ourselves and we'll do it ourselves now instead of you. It's like that feels a bit that feels a bit weird if that is the case, you know? So anyway, I still think it's a decent effort.
I still think it's like I would be down as a consumer of just more characters like this because what does that mean? That means that the game has a future. It has a functional monetizable future where we can actually get things like maybe new stages, actually get things like crossplay, like those kind of things. The actual expansionary elements that we've sort of been asking for for a long time. I think I think that's where I'm down with it because it means that there there could be a future of Dragon Ball Fighters as it continues on and we don't get a DBFC 2, but they just continue making more of this game and refining this game.
I'm down with that, bro. I'm completely down with that. In fact, I think that's maybe one of the better options if you don't have Arcus as a developer anymore cuz that's the way it seems. Just seems like ASW is too busy. You're not really convinced it wasn't Arcumatum. Uh, Arabus, apparently on Twitter there was a there was a a tweet mistransation that clo that sort of locks it in that Arxus wasn't the developer. That was coming from um that was coming from like Arxis PR that Bandai Namco is the dev. So, we don't know if it's if it's B&E internal, but they would say if it wasn't.
They have to say it. They have to tell us if it is. But on Twitter, there's a pretty interesting tweet in Japanese that was translated that made it seem like they're not the developer anymore. So, I don't know. It's just that some things don't line up. Some things are a little odd. It is weird. Now, don't get me wrong, it is weird, which is why it's like a little BME if it if it is true. It's odd. It's just it's odd is all I'll say. Um, give me that. Uh, give me that. Here, I'll pull up the tweet again.
Hold on a second. Show you. Uh, here is what was said. So, Arxis PR, right? Um, it says in translation that they've been added to Dragon Ball Fighters, developed by Arc System Works. Okay. So, it's like, oh, so Arc System is the developer. But if you read the first response, the person that's from Japan says the translation is misleading. The accurate translation is that to Dragon Ball Fighters, which was created by Ark System Works, new Da DLC was added. So, it's not saying Arxys was the developer of the DA pack, the new DLC. It's more saying that they were the developer of the core game itself.
Could be one guy. I mean, sure, could be, but still, it's it's a mystery. Even if it isn't a thing that is like cut and dry, Arxis did it, then there's some weird things. If Arcus did it, there's some weird things. Um, if Bandai Namco get it, I think it's actually pretty high quality. That's where that's where my conclusion is. If B&E is the one that were able to do this and they were trying to emulate the style, then yeah, to me it feels like B&E has done a pretty good job. If that is the case, I give it I give it more effort if it's Bandai Namco.
I give it I give it less…
