I also unashamedly drop games before completing them, too. If it stops being fun, and I'm not doing a group play where I'll need to have finished it to give my opinion, then I'll just stop playing that game. The point is to have fun, right? We only get so much time, and I'd rather spend it enjoying myself.

Namely the need to bind an A+B macro to consistently get heavy attacks, and the goofiness of the throws in this game. The hoption select just felt too "stupid," for lack of better word, to me. I thought the State of Nothingness vs Rage mechanics were really fun and thematic, though.

I've only every played 5sp and 7, so those are my only (and very different from each other) frames of reference. I'm going to guess 4 is a lot like 5sp; what makes it the best?

Kirisame Link ParentI wanted to insert a joke about how you could play 2XKO since it was built upon that game's bones, but then it's kinda just sad to think about.I wanted to insert a joke about how you could play 2XKO since it was built upon that game's bones, but then it's kinda just sad to think about.

As for GG, I first played #Reload, but got into fighting games and the FGC starting with Xrd.
I played AC+R for about a month when it got rollback netcode retrofitted and enjoyed it, but Xrd hits the sweet spot of mechanical complexity for me. I might feel differently if I had picked, say, Order Sol, but playing Dizzy and having to internalise several different FRC timings for ice spike was just so annoying in an unsatisfying (to me) way.

It's been years and a Japanese layout keyboard still has not been produced for the fw16. Basically unusable for me without an external keyboard, which is... annoying, to say the least.

Chrono Trigger I never got around to playing, somehow... Despite having played FF games from its time.
Fighters Megamix -- I don't really like 3d fighting games that much, but exploring one casually in the context of this event sounds pretty fun. Would love to see something like a Samurai Shodown game show up in a future poll -- those games in particular don't demand execution, so I think they're pretty nice for something like CGA.
Kaeru no tame ni Kane wa Naru sounds cute; I like its premise!
Scroll Lock-On I voted for just because it's where Ikaruga lives.

The player base is primarily fighting game players (is there interest here for retro fighters?), but it also has multiplayer shmups, beat em ups, and puzzle games. Simpsons, Raiden, etc.
Wow, that's an interesting one. I have the opposite issue, in that I have so much trouble tracking non-scrolling rhythm games, and especially hate games with touchscreen components like Maimai or Crossbeats where your own arms and hands can end up blocking my vision of the field.
