Month: October 2017

After ending his 11-month hiatus with a pair of recent videos covering Huitzil and Rikuo, The Nostalgic Gamer has continued with another episode of his “Meet the Darkstalkers” series. This time he looks at one of the series’ original — and arguably the most powerful character in Darkstalkers 3 — Sasquatch.

Devised as an homage to the yetis, bigfoots (bigfeet?), and abominable snowmen of folklore, Sasquatch is a fun-loving creature “who just loves being his absurd self.” With his tribe’s initial plans for world domination literally thrown off by their taste for delicious bananas (and object designer Mizue Morimoto’s attempts to base his move animations off of some of the ludicrous feats seen in Disney cartoons), Sasquatch went from originally being a violent, cyclops-type creature to the free-spirited, adorable, friendly and fun-loving yeti that we know today. And don’t forget the variety of aquatic companions that he can summon from the world of Makai to aid him in battle: ranging from flying penguins to seals, whales, and snowmen.

Any competitive Darkstalkers player is certainly familiar with the “village protector” due to his powerful short hop shenanigans and terrifying pressure, but now you can get to know a bit more about his tribe and their history.

Be sure to head over to the comments section of the video to let The Nostalgic Gamer know which remaining Darkstalker you’d like to meet next.

Getting nearly-simultaneous Super Combos in Super Street Fighter II Turbo is very difficult, given the fact that the Super freeze can eat your opponent’s inputs. When they do happen, we can see some really interesting interactions.

In this match-up from Japan featuring Blanka and Fei Long, both are nearing a sliver of health, when Fei scores a knockdown to bring Blanka down to chip damage to win. With both having Super stocked, Fei launches his as a meaty to chip out. In an attempt to escape, Blanka executes a Super just in time to miss the meaty hit. Between two Supers with an insane amount of invincibility, which one wins?
