https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1554534288/cerebrawl-2v2-4-player-tag-team-fighting I like barely heard about Cerebrawl and didn't pay any attention to it until now, and I regret that because actually looking at it it's got such a unique aesthetic http://www.cerebrawl.in/roster

The game is extremely unfinished, so that explains the character models and hits not having any weight to them (remember early Skullgirls?). That stuff will improve over time, honestly I'm shocked at the sheer number of characters they already have implemented when it's this early. Also you...

I've played it (pledged to the patreon at $5 level), it's got big potential. Super extremely low-execution (think Rising Thunder with short combos?), has an ST-feel but also kind of Divekick-y. There is a surprising amount of juice packed into each of the characters, considering the number of...

Indivisible I wont let nobody break me down Indivisible nothings gonna stop me now Indivisible gonna gonna make it gonna keep on going Indivisible the last one standing

The game has developed a lot in the past year. For those who aren't familiar, it's a super accessible fighter in the style of NGPC SNK fighters. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cardboardrobotgames/pocket-rumble-new-2d-fighting-game-for-pc-and-hand

yeah i can enjoy and critique things at the same time though

that match was really cool

essentially our positions are only different because of the way we treat the status quo. you fervently defend it because you're invested in the game that already exists. so you set the bar really really high for anything that should even be considered as a change to the game. but i don't give...

no. if you believe the claim really is outlandish, then you can let its outlandishness speak for itself, you don't have to address it or care. mike z gets tons of bad complaints about his game that he safely ignores for this exact reason. so you can do that here if you want. you didn't do...

my point is: 'i think midline rule would improve chess a lot' is a valid statement to make. of course it may or may not be true. but your response has not been 'that may or may not be true,' it's been 'kristoph you must now prove to me that your hypothesis is actually true.' which is just...

obvs it's subjective

and it is easily possible to make a game better for (a)spectators, (b)new players, and (c)top players all at the same time. it happens all the time, probably constantly, in the development periods of all kinds of games. maybe an easy example is the removal of items from smash. spectators and...

just to reiterate i'm on a really awful compy right now so my interest in engaging in hostile/time-consuming discussions about trivial stuff is pretty low so just a heads-up there, i'm generally going to be shorter with you than normal i'm afraid. as for 'things kristoph thinks are wrong with...

yeah that's no problem. no this is incorrect. it's easily possible to make a game better for everybody (as in, not every individual human, but each 'demographic' that you listed) yeah this has been done many times already yeah this also has already been done by lots of people in different ways...

okay cool. this is basically where we disagree; i'm basically totally opposite from you on this. not only do i think that it's likely that someone can come up with a rule change that improves chess, but i think it's probably way way easy to do, and actually even beyond that, it's probably...

vulpes, do you think chess is a perfect/perfectly-designed game as it is?

I called it FIDE Chess just to make it easier to distinguish, since I also mentioned Chess 2 in my post. It's also somewhat common to refer to it that way in variant-enthusiast circles, I think, for similar reasons. Your basketball example is bad since people do distinguish between...

I play/stream Chess 2 (not atm because i don't have a proper computer for it). It's super fun but it can be really tough for traditional chess players to stomach all the differences, it's better classified as a 'turn based strategy' than a 'chess variant' i think. I think the midline rule...

hahaha nahhhh, that's just a ridiculous matchup, by faaaar the worst matchup in the game (generally stuff seems pretty balanced though). Even then, there are peeps who've been grinding it out on the Reaper end. it's getting interesting. I posted that vid mostly just because it's short and...
