id say its really uh, promising? like theyve definitely got me interested with this alpha. like, the visuals seem nice, the characters have nice designs, some have some interesting mechanics, the general systems are done really well and also the netcode seems really good since its ggpo
the only stuff i’m a bit ???? on is some of its more experimental ideas, like the single button specials and cooldowns. a lot of the concern i have is kind of on a meta level, like whether those things are really going to bring anything to the table for the better or if they’re just super arbitrary etc etc so its hard to think about very much right now
my two biggest actual gripes with the alpha as is are
shoryukening a jump-happy opponent gives them 6 seconds to keep jumping at you afterwards because your DP is sitting in cooldown and you dont have good AA normals
as of right now, you don’t get to see the opponent’s special cooldowns or their kinetic (rc/fadc) gauge, only their health and super meter. i dont know if that’s a design choice they want to stick with but right now it means you can’t know for sure offhand which specials they can or cant use, or whether or not they can fadc out of them, etc etc which is really dumb
again though, really promising! my attention is grabbed
So I watched the first two episodes of Harvey Beaks and its really lovely. Especially the music and background art.
Now I can spend the next 24 hours of my life listening to the opening theme.

I haven’t slept in two days, and everytime I get close someone busts into my room to bother me about something
Do not allow We Bare Bears be contaminated by the Steven Universe fandom, please.
This is the exact sort of statement that resulted in that happening in the SU fandom in the first place. They were all “oh no don’t let the bronies in”
then people started trying to police things and bein really mean to anyone they thought was a threat to their perfect fandom.
The easiest (but also not actually possible)way to let a fandom be aight for everyone to just chill and not worry so much about what everyone else does or who else is in it.

the only thing stopping me from starting my webcomic now is that I can’t think of a title. I could just name the comic after the name of their world, but I don’t have that either. Naming everything else is easy, characters,countries,cities, but the world as a whole and a title? I got nothing.
