, posted Tue 25 Nov 12:13:
OK, so I want cha to give some examples (and comment and whatnot) of this kind of incoherences that appear because fighting game makers want to be creative but they forget that reality has some rules that should be applied:
- How the hell does Chin's liquor do so much damage? And the effects only last a few seconds! Even more, it gives no hangover!
- How come even the weakest KOF charas (even Shingo! who's still supposed to be a relatively "normal" person) are able to stand some DIRECT Desert Eagle shots? Has this become Dragon Ball?
- Aren't Mary's attacks supposed to break arms and so? Why are the others able to use their limbs after? And Gato's super, isn't it supposed to break your neck, that is, kill you?
Original Idea is Copyrighted by Iggy, 2003.
EDIT: BTW, this should be about fighting games (or videogames in general, who cares) that are supposed to be more or less realistic, like KOF, not whacky, like DS. Ok?
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...
How do you say "sushi" in Japanese? :D

Vanessa's bone breaks from VF4 and VFE. You can pretend the arm and leg stuff is somehow popping bones at the joint, but she's got that brutal neck break...
There is a game with extremely unrealistic bone breaks, but they kind of go with the game... remember Mortal Kombat 4? They'd get their arms bend inside-out in the middle of a match and they'd just pop it right back into place... kneecaps, necks, elbows... it didn't matter. Not that that game was trying to be realistic, but you get my point.

Hmm. :changes into generic wiseman stereotype:

Perhaps the question that you should be asking, little grasshopper, is whether or not any liquor is actually consumed.

Consider. Would the makers of a televised tournament allow actual bullets in the gun, or perhaps non-lethal rubber ones?

You would be surprised as to what neck injuries can be survived. Link here.

Hmm.
Yes, that is quite stupid. You are correct.
Aren't cysts neato?

A game where people throw fireballs and generate energy with their bare hands is realistic?? Well.. okay, I'll take your word for it... Yuga's soul eater; s/he pulls your soul out and eats it, but you can get up and fight moments later. Anything Hanzo does in Asura Zanmaden... Shermie's breast counter (actually, that would probably hurt, considering the size of her knockers)

Fighting games are like the Matrix game programmers create to upset all laws that are supposed to govern rationality. You can't have everyone doing only doing punching, kicking and slamming moves - that's going to kill the game. What gamers want is to be able to excute cool "seemingly possible" moves that we would want to do, but couldn't in reality, that would put gamers up in the high ranks of martial arts. (Don't deny it, folks. Everyone must have secretly tried doing the spinning piledriver before... Oh, and has anyone perfected the art of doing a hurricane kick or spinning bird kick yet?)

Ok, Ok, you all know what I meant... I'm picky enough to find flaws & criticise to that point and further, but it's not the case. I just meant (fighting) games that are supposed to be, say verosimile (hope I didn't make up that word from Spanish), better than realistic. Games that pretend to present normal fighters with more or less normal styles, who, because of their so much training (or special genetics or whatever), got to break the human limits and generate energy with their bare hands, jump one man's height with no effort, etc. OK.
But once given that, they get to reach quite high incoherence levels in some points, like Tabasa's cat and other attacks pointed by Iggy (you help me here), Chin's liquor...
That's why I decided to discard, for example, Darkstalkers, the same way I'd discard Dr. Slump from an anime coherence discussion, because Dr. Slump is purposefully absurd. Right the same here with those games, they're purposefully whacky and surreal... while KOF or SF presents normal humans who one way or another got beyond their limits, etc. but the creators still pretend they're in...euh... our real world, can't explain myself better, me sorry. u_u
And Beast, of course I know they do this for the sake of entertainment, I like all these bizarre attacks, I was just proposing a li'l game here, after all.

Yeah, yeah, I remember that one... eugh

Aaah... That be good possible answer, me hadn't thought about.

By the way, anyone still remembered the real life Kyo vs Iori movie clip?
Still got'em

Samurai Shodown and last blade series with those big swords and sharp weapons just chop the character in the end of the battle... lag?
Thassa very good one.

And thassa better one, right the kind of incoherence I meant.
