After I realized that I had nothing of value to contribute to this thread, I retreated back to my usual hangout in the Roleplay subforum.

Don't know why I decided to start posting here again, seeing as how I still have nothing interesting to say.

[up]TBH, I don't really have high hopes for that game. Just as well, since I likely won't be able to play it.

Why not? Everything I've seen implies that the dev team is dedicated to making a legitimately balanced fighting game. They've got some issues to deal with, but for pre-alpha build it's looking good.

Anyway, I never have anything interesting to say either, but nobodies kicked me out yet.

@Wryte

Hey, I write fanfiction. I just try really, really hard to never deviate from canon characterization without prior development given to establish the difference. In that context, shipping is fine if you spend the whole story developing the relationship to the point that it would be believable, like what JT is currently doing.

For me, fanfiction is, and should be, about creating new stories with the given characters and/or setting, not rewriting canon to suit the writer's views or desires.

Thank you Bindle. <3

And since it was not only the final post, but an edit to the final post on the last page:

What Steve said. Fics that just throw characters together without building up to it naturally from the canon version of their relationship bug me, too.

[up][up][up]Because I never have high hopes for anything, especially not fan projects like this one.

Still, that may just be me being a negative a-hole.

Ah. I was wondering if you had any specific problems with the game.

#256208 from Jawson Bog
Well, the premise is a little nonsensical for my tastes, but you don't really expect fighting games to be elaborate mandalas of solidly-built continuity.

90% of fighting games run on an Excuse Plot. It's practically a genre standard at this point.

And the few games of the genre that do have an actual story are usually goofy as shit.

The more recent Mortal Kombat games, especially. Though that series has never been a paragon of realism.

I always imagined main six vs main six in Fighting is Magic could be handwaved as them practicing for the next (insert evil villain)'s invasion. >.>

I only know the last 5 pages or so. Nothing but normal idle talk.

I thought "Harmogy" was pretty good, actually.

Yes, that.

Odd, it's not nearly late enough for me to be making typos...

Harmorgy.

Taken out of context, that sounds really unpleasant.

It's also unpleasant in-context, but still.

In fact, a Harm Orgy sounds like a very Slaanesh type of thing.
