It's not just that the computer cheats in a "that seemed a little too fast to not be input reading" sort of way. It fucking BLATANTLY cheats in a "it does shit that the human player literally cannot do and isn't shy about it at all" sort of way.

It can be cheesed of course, but jump kick and sweep spam gets old fast and trying to beat the computer "fairly" is a exercise in frustration because at no point is it actually fair.

>>12430314
You can see the difference no matter how far away you are
>>
>>12430237
Do the mods yourself, start out with easier ones like n64, and work your way to hard ones like NES. It's a good time, and soldering is a good skill to have when you like retro games.
>>12429850
Depending on your set up there's a pretty clear difference, like people have said, using a large modern tv and an upscaler will show it off the most. I've RGB modded all my consoles and love it. For what it's worth I have an analog Morph4k and an OLED tv. Ultimately it's preference, but it's also a rabbit hole, which is likely a big reason people don't actually go for it.
>>
>>12430163
I think what he's saying is RGB is too clinical, I get what you're saying with "how it really looks like" because that's how the image exists inside the console. But it's also valid to argue it isn't how the games were "meant to look" because nobody developing or playing the games ever saw them like that.

Post real retro hoaxes and mockups, stuff from printed magazines.
Pic related was published in a magazine I had as a kid, in 1995. The magazine stated that it was a hoax but I remember wanting it to be real. They also said "you can do this with a computer" and I remember thinking they actually got all these characters playable on MKII on a computer, I didn't realize they were talking about image editing.
Well, of course later on with romhacking and mugen and stuff something like this would be possible, but I don't think romhacking a game like MK to add playable characters would have been possible in 1995, or at least I imagine it would have been too difficult

>How do you start with Medabots?
Not with AX that's for sure. I own the cart, tried playing it on GBA and couldn't make sense of the combat.
The main games are strategy RPGs with a sort of ATB instead of back and forth turns. You can build a team for speed and attack a bunch of times before your enemy has a chance to do anything, you could also build 1 tank and 2 guard bots to keep the tank alive, there's a lot of freedom in that sense.
Just don't start with spinoffs.

Speaking of input timings, what's the proper way to do the kick, kick, flash kick combo (k,k,f+k)? That's the one move in Oni I can't pull off no matter how hard I try. Either input buffering refuses to work for this one move, or I just can't time right.

you're most likely doing inputs too fast, try doing the second and third kicks only after your leg is going back down from the previous kick

My brain says that middle is more accurate, but in reality, it probably was closer to left. I had a game boy travel bag that had a super mario land screenshot on the screen and a trippy patterened shiny plastic screen. It resembled the left most. Wish I could find an image, it had a small belt with a buckle and two extra pockets on the belt for cartridges.

iirc the son of 1 of the 3 founders of umbrella alex ashfords lifetime achievement was being able to revive egg and sperm from bodies long since dead. he then took his own sperm and the egg of his genius ancestor veronica to make a smart daughter and restore the high intelligence genetics of his own family. but some metal gear situation occurs and they need a second child to take the bad genes which became alfred. when alfred got older he found this out and got pissed hes the weak one and killed the dad alex. as a child alexia created and tested the tveronica virus on herself but needed to be put into a coma for the virus to work correctly otherwise she mutates like what happens to steve. alfred and alexia are fucked up because they were kept in their own house their entire life and are literally inbred of their father and great great etc grandmom.

oh and retarded super villain wesker comes looking for his arch nemesis. claire, the NON TRAINED CIVILIAN from re2 MAGICALLY became a TOP SECRET NINJA PSY OPS MILITARY WARRIOR >>12430098

the game was originally ww2 german themed which is why the starting area looks like a concentration camp, why theres lugers and alexia/alfred were hilda/hilde schnitzelnazi or some shit. also explains alfreds getup
