Now that Baiken is in Samurai Shodown, what SamSho Character would you want in Guilty Gear?
My vote is for Genjuro. Just pure personal taste. I just think he's awesome.
However if we go by best fit, Asura from Samurai Shodown 64, already looks like an awesome Guilty Gear character!

Oh my God I forgot Asura was in Neo Geo Battle Colosseum! Look at this awesome sprite!

Gandara would also be awesome! If you haven't noticed already, I *really* like the new characters they made for Samurai Shodown 64!

I think Samurai Shodown has one of the finest casts in all of videogames. Up there with Street Fighter! I love all the classic characters! But aesthetically I think the Samuri Shodown 64 characters would be a particularly good fit for Guilty Gear 👍✨

Mr Wink is a foil to Hellboy himself. They have a lot in common! They're both scary monsters with super strength and giant right hands who are self conscious about their appearance. Hellboy kills Mr Wink without a second thought because he's so indoctrinated into the human world.
Mr Wink is Prince Nuada's subordinate, but also his friend. Nuada is horrified when he finds out Mr Wink is dead and swears revenge. Meanwhile in the first film, Hellboy's Boss tells him he's a subhuman monster just like the ones they hunt.
Mr Wink lost his arm in the fight against humans. It was replaced with his current mechanical arm. Hellboy was born with the "right hand of doom" that will one day act as a key to the apocalypse.

For your viewing pleasure, here is every single frame of Akuma/Gouki's special intro from the Capcom vs SNK games, presented frame by frame at 8x size.

First, the animation in full!

(A thread...)
#PixelArt #SpriteArt #Akuma #豪鬼 #CVS2
Right off the bat, Frame 1/18 is quite unusual! Akuma/Gouki is dropping from the sky so he's drawn much smaller in this first frame, to convey distance. I can't recall any other instances of an in-game Capcom Fighting Game sprite playing with size/distance like this!
In Frame 2/18 he's at regular in-game size. Such an amazing anticipation pose! Arm rearing back ready to unleash hell. Front arm adding to the torque covering half the face. One glowing eye exposed. And those perfectly flat side view legs! Those feet! Love it!

Underrated character!
#源柳斉真紀
Maki Genryusai (源柳斉 真紀) debuted in Final Fight 2 for the Super Famicom in 1993. She is a 38th generation practioner of Bushin-Ryū ninjitsu (also mastered by her good friend Guy). Her father is the current leader of the Bushin ninja clan and her older sister is Guy's fiance.
Maki used to lead a motorcycle gang when she was a student, but stays out of trouble these days. Her rough, charming personality shines through beautifully in her sprite animations in Capcom vs SNK 2. I think her CVS2 sprite is one of the apexes of the medium!

This art is really neat! It strikes me as a very Japanese take on Western Tumblr/Adventure Time style art that was hugely inspired by anime and Japanese games and mascots to begin with. It's deliciously full circle.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is there a name for that late Aughts wave of Millennial driven art that was very Cartoon Network-ey, but also obviously made by people who love Chrono Trigger? Largely posted to Tumblr and DeviantArt?
The first generation of American artists who widely grew up completely immersed in Japanese cartoons and games alongside American stuff. Anime wasn't something they integrated into their style post childhood.

SO YOU SEE HIDEAKI ANNO WAS NEVER A "TROLL." IT'S JUST THAT ANGLOPHONE FANS ARE NOT USED TO SUCH INTENSE SINCERITY FROM A WORK OR A CREATOR. EVANGELION IS NOT A "SUBVERSION" OF "ANIME TROPES" RATHER IT'S A WORK AWARE OF AND CELEBRATING ITS FOREBEARS WHILE CARVING ITS OWN PATH.
I don't understand the fan theories about how "Anno is just trolling everyone!" This dude's only mode is complete honesty all the time.

There's a very particular kind of edgy Western anime fan. Typically one weaned on 90s romanticization of nihilism. To them, anime isn't great until "no you see the creator HATES anime. That's why this one is good!" It's a very strange phenomena. Lots to unpack there!

Combatants for Peace (@cfpeace ) is an organization made up of people who used to devote their lives to killing each other, but who have laid down their arms and seek lasting peace and reconciliation.

If you feel that after decades of war and inhumanity that peace isn't possible between Israel and Palestine, I urge you to listen to this story.

I happened to catch this story years ago while driving home from work. It was so powerful that I had to park my car and weep for these people who lost so much, but still seek peace instead of revenge. And for how difficult it is for them to simply TALK.
