[@Bukkarooo]

The thing that fucks up Shun'ei for me is that one rolled up pant leg. I think the rest of him is fine! I like the over jacket, gloves, and belt beads chain thing. It is a few too many "cool protag" cliches in one, but he's alright. The pant leg just annoys the hell outta me lol

[@thegoodoldays911]

@@Bukkarooo I think the rolled up pant leg is kinda neat in that it shows that shun'ei the character is putting in the effort to be extra instead of him just being designed to have a bunch of stuff on him but yeah I get it lol. I'm probably reading too much into it.

[@Kdawg995]

@@thegoodoldays911 the one pant leg might be the only thing I like. He just has waaaaay too many accessories between the headphones, random tie, cool guy jacket draped over his shoulders and the belt that he’s not wearing?? It just comes off a little too try hard

I feel like the worst part of shunei is his color scheme. If his canon color scheme was better I would like his design much more.

You can record locally in OBS while you are also streaming, thus getting a video without any hiccups. You also get a better-looking video without bitrate issues.

Hey guys, this one was really hard to watch due to the bitrate. Is there any way to proof this in the future? Not sure if you capture directly from OBS while streaming, but just figured I'd mention it (I figure you don't to save on performance in most cases, however).

Glad there was a beta so we can find all these problems, now I don't have to blame bad netcode when I'm going 0-2 with Whip when the full game is out. Get to work SNK I'm trying to make this my GOTY in 22.

Personally i think Ash is terrible as a KOF protagonist, unpopular opinion but i actually think Alba Meira is cooler than him. But BOTH are way cooler than Shun'Ei, he's such a trash character design man, just awful all the way around. I honestly hate that he's the new protagonist, just looking at him actually makes me mad lol.

Dude, do you really have to paint people as shrieking idiots, when it's Woolie, himself, that posed the moral question in the first place? Nobody else has said anything about it, so of course his viewers will have questions. And then you point to a notoriously 4+ hour podcast and say "the answer is somewhere in there, dummies. Go find it". Idk, coulda gone a little less hard

[@bertrandkane9678]

I never understood why people got so triggered over the whole "ethical consumtion" thing. People can choose what companies they want or don't want support for whatever reason they want, you don't need some wholistic moral standard in order to justify why you do or don't feel comfortable buying something. The whole "You must choose between living off the grid as a frugal monk in the wilderness and mindlessly consuming all products as a nihilistic corporate apologist" schtick is just fucking dumb. It just comes across people being incredibly insecure and getting butthurt when other people's moral decisions make them feel guilty about themselves. This is coming from someone who was never planning on skipping out on the game in the first place by the way.

[@DragoonBoom]

I dont get it, why does it upset you so much that people don't like it when corporations or rich people do evil things? big baby needs his bottle energy by you lol

[@merk2364]

It does sort of come off as people fishing for reasons to call someone out and make them feel bad for nothing. Especially in a case like this where it's people going "uh oh looks like a studio you love is now owned partially or completely by shady entities guess you support murder if you purchase kof :)". It's completely ridiculous.

[@Neogears1312]

@BertrandKane it’s depressing and almost sickening how everyone feels the need to be caricatures and archetypes instead of individuals you know? Maybe it’s just how the Internet forms people, which isn’t a far off guess considering how many comments are year old memes that lost any humor to them ages ago, but it feels like every day you see more and more people vomiting a mobs opinion and don’t give any explanation or elaboration on why they think that. People just seem to want to be a societal trope and nothing more so these hot tales like dragoon boom shit out just get plastered with no thought whatsoever.

[@Kdawg995]

Rollback was so iffy in the beta. Had a match against Kizzie that blew up half way thru with -982 frames..

[@thegoodoldays911]

I honestly just don't know how people feel about shunei because nobody ever talks about him other than to comment on how he looks like a parody of a the world ends with you character. Like woolie is comparing him to SRW OGs but he's even more extra than that. Like meitenkun is fine but ehhhhhh.

[@stjimmerz]

He's very much a "chuuni" archetype from the bandages to the devil hands. But he has the problem of not being as cool as K' or divisive/different as Ash. He's just sort of there and he's got magic hands. Needs to pull down his pant leg too that shit annoys me lol

[@thegoodoldays911]

@@stjimmerz Yeah I guess that's kind of my problem with shunei in that in spite of being the new protagonist he's overshadowed by basically everyone else on the cast at least for me.

[@Zenotron]

I don't think Shun'Ei is bad, but I wish Woolie didn't compare him to SRW OG characters in such a negative way. SRW OG characters are just as awesome as actual mecha anime protagonists, with some of them even being way cooler. Don't tell me that Sanger fucking Zonvolt is a bad design/character!

This demo is free. Admittedly, a much more detailed discussion about how the ownership deal didn't go through was had on the podcast and not here in the video directly, where it would have been helpful, but here's what I tweeted about it: My understanding is nothing is going on. They didn't buy 51% of SNK in the end. Ledo Millennium, the majority shareholder directly sold 33% to EGDC & there's nothing SNK can do about it. That's all we know. Worth talking about either way, and I've said what my comfort levels are.

You'd need to live in a log cabin in the hills to avoid spending money on anything the Saudi Prince is invested in. The very device you're using to view this video may use technology from one of the numerous companies in his portfolio. Your parents' house may be funded with a mortgage from one of his companies. I think at a bare minimum you've got to move the line back to companies that voluntarily partner with him. Publicly traded companies have no say in who owns them, and subsidiaries like SNK have no control over who their parent companies sell their shares to. At that point you're not so much protesting the prince as you are the concept of a free market economy.
