What I also discovered during my retro-gaming quest is that some of my
favourite publications have/had *terrible *taste in video games. Gamest
Magazine once published of the 10 best games per year since 1986.
This was their 1986 list:
1943
Afterburner
Darius
Dragon Spirit
Genpei Toumaden
Ninja Kid 2
Outrun
R-Type
Shadow Land
Street Fighter
Has anyone ever played Genpei Toumaden? I encourage you to load up Mame
and try it out. It's one of the worst games I've ever played.

It was always terrible. The first time I heard it I thought the machine's
speakers were busted. Then I just realized it just sounds bad in general.
The sampled effects are overdriven and of low quality. The x68k version
sounds much better.

In other news, in my quest to play all interesting arcades games since
the year 1984, I've finally reached 1994. Alien vs Predator.
I've also came up with a theory that music production also has a sort-of
Uncanny Valley. There's a period where there's a big advancement in audio
technology, but the hardware advancement isn't really enough to deliver the
producer's vision. You can hear it clearly in arcade games that came out
say after 1988. Everyone was switching to synthesized and resampled audio
just because they could, but in reality the end product sounded terrible.
It seemed like they were more concerned with demoing the hardware features
than producing good audio (the arcade version of Final Fight is a good
example - it sounds terrible). Whereas during the previous generation it
seemed the producers just tried to produce get music and effects.

If you accept my assessment that there's no way you can believe that
it's 50/50.
Damn SARS employees...

who can TP through fireballs has a hard time throwing out of a tick throw.
methinks that situation is 50/50 and u r basically done when in that
situation.

1. Not ended up in that situation in the first place.
2. Timed his throw properly.

The player in blockstun can throw immediately while the person
performing the tick throw has to wait a few frames. There are situations
where it's a complete 50/50, or where it's impossible to escape using a
throw because the aggressor has a better throw range, but that isn't one of
them.

Reversal throws cannot be thrown because you cannot throw someone for
something like 10f after wake up.

when u throw at the same time and the game selects a winner at random
