Hi! I post hilariously obscure video game trivia and have a silly little youtube channel about things I find cool in fighting games: https://linktr.ee/SeventhForce

Inclined to believe this considering the SNES Final Fight Trilogy (or any FF game outside of CPS1 FF1, really) weirdly isn't available on any modern platforms when Capcom has historically put them on whatever the current Nintendo platform was. Even Wii U had FF1-3, Mighty FF, and FF One on VC!

Been playing Mario Kart Super Circuit with patches that - Pushes the game to 60fps (the game already did this under the hood, kinda) - Uses uncompressed instruments - Restores all of the stage hazards that were ommited from the SNES tracks Unironically enjoying this more than Mario Kart World tbh

The lens I originally ordered for this GBC build came in scratched up, so I called an audible and installed the lens for the Pokemon Yellow Edition GBC shell until the replacement lens comes in (hopefully) this week. Not proud of the final result, but it is what it is.

Bought a few GBC reproduction shells because I'm going to be modding a few the next few weeks. Tried playing without the backlight for a bit and I have no idea how the hell I completed games on this thing I'm backlight modding the fuck out of this lmao

That said, holy shit I forgot how good Golbez' leitmotif is. Up there with Kuja and Sephiroth in terms of incredible FF villain themes

Final Fantasy IV might have a Looney Tunes ass story with a revolving door of character deaths and gameplay that's arguably less flexibly designed than the entry just prior to it ...but damn if it's not a Final Fantasy ass Final Fantasy game. First time replaying it in over 10 years.

- Farmed Cubone in Rock Tunnel w/ Thief until Thick Club dropped - Had to take my Charizard in Yellow, trade it to Gen 2 and breed w/ Larvitar for a Charmander w/ Rock Slide - Had to trade that back to Yellow, teach it Swords Dance then trade back to Gen 2 - Finally bred it w/ Marowak. Holy shit.

I'm using the GB Operator here because it now has a fast forward function which is nice for expediting egg hatching. I don't feel like I'm really cheating by using this or anything, especially since this is still running off my Crystal cartridge currently plugged into the GB Operator.

Hawkeye video should be dropping this week That said, I have an idea for a video that might be even more niche (and exponentially more expensive) than the interconnectivity vid. Might have to consult several homebrew communities for it too, but It'll be fun exploring this topic on original hardware

Kinda cool to have it officially confirmed that K' was indeed the mystery guest character that was going to be in Capcom Fighting All-Stars before the whole project got shitcanned.

Finally got to see her. She went in for a biopsy for a mass near her kidney and something went wrong and she lost a lot of blood. Surgeons caught it and got it under control, but they're keeping her overnight for observation. Doctor suspects the mass is cancerous, but we'll cross that road, I guess

Was told I'd only have to wait a couple of minutes in the ICU waiting area to see my mom. It's been two hours now I'm starting to get worried

Looked up pre-release discussion on Aria of Sorrow since I didn't remember offhand what people's reactions to its premise was and I'm reminded of how much more reasonable internet discourse used to be

I've been trying to figure out what it is about the first form Dracula fight in Belmont's Curse that makes it so great and I came to the realization that it's basically what would happen if MvC3 Dormammu was a Castlevania boss fight

You know, I didn't even consider some of my Street Fighter related character videos getting a bump in views because of the movie but it makes sense Cammy being the character to get the biggest bump by far is kind of hilarious though, considering she's my biggest issue with the movie

27 years ago, 9 year old me dreamed of making my own homemade Pokedex for Pokemon Yellow... but didn't own a Game Boy Printer. Tonight, after approximately 39 days... it's done. A physically handmade and printed Pokedex with all 151 Gen 1 Pokemon. Kid me would be over the moon.

Anyhow, got plans later tonight so I'll be doing an early Pokemon Yellow stream this afternoon from 3pm-8pm EST, Gonna tackle the Pokemon league, get some of the postgame exclusive stuff, and perhaps actually finish this crazy physical Pokedex journey today (Or at least, come close to it)

Locked in and did my grinding for the Elite 4 in Yellow. Every Pokemon except Pikachu in this playthrough is named after someone that's been in a fighting game: Kazuki (SamSho) - Charizard Sougetsu (SamSho) - Blastoise Yamazaki (Fatal Fury) - Venusaur Angel (KoF) - Golem Star-Lord (Tokon) - Starmie

Beat Belmont's Curse today and I'm relieved to say the Dracula fight is somewhere between solid and really good. Doesn't overstay it's welcome and punishing, without being completely bullshit. Wish I could say the same about Death, but whatever.

SeventhForce@seventhforce.bsky.social

Castlevania Dracula fight tier list. I'm counting Graham for Aria and the Julius Mode finale for Dawn Honestly, there's way more decent Drac fights in the series than bad ones, even the N64 duo have neat ones. I wonder where Belmont's Curse will fall

Just came up on a boss with FOUR phases Still kind of enjoying the boss design in this game mostly, but this is starting to get exhausting

SeventhForce@seventhforce.bsky.social

Ah, I appear to have hit the "what the literal FUCK were these developers thinking" boss fight of Belmont's Curse.

If you're finding yourself not having enough mobility during a certain mid/late game boss fight's full screen slash attacks, equip the relic that gives you a 5 second boost to general mobility after doing a whip grapple Thank me later

Belmont's Curse's difficulty kinda feels like a logical extension of Order of Ecclesia's in the same way Metroid Dread's difficulty was a logical progression of Metroid Fusion's and I can't say how much I appreciate that enough

Even though I know I'm only setting myself up for disappointment, I'm gonna see if the Konami code does anything, lmao

SeventhForce@seventhforce.bsky.social

I've been legitimately waiting 18 years for this day. See y'all later.

I thought about including quick recipes for each drink (I will be talking about each one) in the video as a fun little thing, but decided against it on the off chance that someone watching that might be in recovery from an addiction might find it to be a trigger Or maybe I'm too sensitive. I dunno.

Anyway, back to posting dumbass trivia: All of Hawkeye's arrow related special moves in the Marvel Vs. Capcom games are named after alcoholic cocktails (Jack Rose, Violet Fizz, etc.) Hawkeye isn't an alcoholic in the comics, but another notable fictional TV/movie character is: Hawkeye from M*A*S*H*

This even extends to MvC Infinite: Even though he only got one additional new arrow there (the laser arrow), the move name itself keeps the naming theme, this time after the Scorpion cocktail.

Man. All I do is wake up, go to work, go home, maybe play a video game or two, work on a stupid ass video perhaps, and go to sleep. There's got to be more to this life shit, man. Not really seeing the point of things anymore

And before anyone gets worried or whatever, *no* this isn't a cry for help preceding a mental health episode/suicide attempt/etc. I'm just frustrated with how empty my life feels as a 30-something and don't know how to or if it's even possible to course correct at this juncture

Tried giving Hollow Knight another try yesterday and yeah, that game isn't for me. Hand drawn artstyle is neat, but the environments don't really grab me visually, and I'm constantly asking myself when an area is going to fucking end instead of the usual joy I get from exploring in a Metroidvania.

Jane Foster Thor is an inspired pick, and it's nice to see Jubilee finally get in a fighting game after the MvC1 situation. Venom seems kinda boring next to the other wild swings in the pass (especially since Carnage is already here), but he's an understandably safe bet, makes sense.

Actually now that I think about it, kinda funny both Venom and Jubilee are here considering the former is literally the main reason the latter never made it to MvC. Funny how things worked out in the end!

Still the coolest final boss fight in the entire series for my money I remember getting to this as a kid expecting Egg Robo to be in the Big Arm machine from the Sonic 3 half of the game and nearly pissing myself when the Doomsday Zone music kicked in Sonic 3 & Knuckles is so fucking cool man
