I'd totally kick his ass! :P

You know, I was just thinking about this the other day, only with 2d sprites.

It was an idea I had in my head and I took it upon myself to snap screenshots all over Eorzea during Phase 3 to create what you see now, out of 45 screenshots I chose 5 to use for this and created the overlays in Illustrastor.

square square forward X right bumper... I win!

I believe they already made Dissidia, and Dissidia 012.

If they make another installment i'd like to see XIV appear in it besides just the character model images. Also the mechanics for Dissidia are by far the best in any fighting game I have ever played.

Nice image editing btw.

Oh wow. I'm sorry but you must have not played many fighting games then. (Let me put on record that I actually enjoy Dissidia)

Other fighting games are awful sidescrollers.

The craziest thing would be to make the xiv Character a CaS character you can create...but that's just my opinion.

That is so cool~!!!

Will you release the template? Will ya? Huh huh?! ~(-u-)~

Here is the template overlay i created in illustrator, should be easy to change the colors since everything is solid with no gradients.

Here are all the assets I used to create the finished screenshot.

That is probably one of the most ignorant things I've ever read about any videogame.

They are, though. Most fighting games follow the same formula - things like MK, Streetfighter, and anything to do with anything - are boring button-mashing side-scroller games. Dissidia is the only one I've liked, alongside UNS2, because of 360 degrees of movement. Ninja Storm 2 is easy to pick up and play, but fairly difficult to master entirely, and the large stages offer incentive to move around. The same goes for Dissidia, offering battle in the air as well as on the ground.

Any other kind of fighting game or brawler is boredom incarnate.

I don't want to derail the thread to much, but again calling something like SF a button masher is sheer ignorance. There are tournaments world wide with thousands of entrants each, there's people who make a living playing fighting games. I can assure the the amount of skill required to play games like SF4 at the top level is astounding and on par with anything you see in Starcraft or "e-sports" in general. There's a reason Dissidia is not played in any of these tournaments (as good of a game I think it is).

Specifically I was imagining an Ifrit combo video like what I imagined on Twitter, linking combos together with Sear, launching with s.mp->c.FK ->EX Volcanic Plume>W!>Eruption>W!> air throw.

Though that may be a bit OP. It'll get fixed with the patch that put Nique back in mid tier and fixes Gath's "Gil toss" infinite. Glad it didn't touch Llen's clothespole links.

Just drop the conversation here and keep it to SRK forums... they'll only understand those games as much as this comic implies.

I have the registered version of FRAPS, the free one will place a watermark on your screenshots, but i've had the paid version for so long that i can't recall the limitations of the free version.

They shouldn't have to, all we have to do is *import our character from 14 to D012 with the help of SE!!! yeah!

We get to fight other players including Shanttoto and Lighting! (if your so eager to die that is) LOL

That would actually be pretty interesting, but it would basically require an entire moveset for each job which is a bit much. It's more likely they add Thancred or something.
