I'll be damned if Finch didn't just describe every chromosomal reject that's ever bought Rumble Roses, Leisure Suit Larry, Dead or Alive Xtreme, and They Guy Game from me.

You never get the joy of sitting down at the mall toddler area and saying that all these things are related.

Hm, was kind of interested in AH2. Might play this one.

I haven't had Spaghettios in 15 years. Actually, probably more than that. Anyone remember this:

There really is some bizarre crossover between people who like this kind of anime bullshit and people who play fighting games in Japan.

I played this at Evolution this year (someone was crazy enough to import the arcade hardware and brought it out to Vegas), and it's actually a fun game! Yes, here I was in Vegas playing a fighting game full of little girls -- stay sad! Not like playing SSF4 there was much better.... The arcana and homing systems allow for a lot of flexibility in how you play and what bullshit you can pull off, and there are enough fetishes used here to satisfy pretty much every otaku in existence.

It's going to be a hell of a reach for people on this forum (beyond the dedicated F-chans) to get past this game's aesthetic, considering that even most hardcore fighting game players can't get past it (even the ones that swear that they would play Hitbox Fighter 2000). Hell, they're adding anime cutscenes (complete with HD resolution and panty shots) whenever someone does a super in the home port.
