I need help, i seriously do.
There's this really long series of videos on youtube called "homo-genius: a history of gay inventors", It has nothing to do with homosexuality, but... i wouldn't really know how to explain wtf it is either, and that's my problem.
A lot of these videos are 4 secs long, and usually show "something" in a fighting game (other kinds of games too though). but, i can't tell for the life of me what it's supposed to be 90% of the time.
I've been a fighting game gamer for 20+ years, i'm very very familiar with a lot of the games they show off, and i get the feeling these videos are made by someone who never played a fighting game and shows extremely common occurrences thinking they're amazing?
These videos fall into a few categories though.
finishing off an enemy that is behind you:
here's an example:
It's quite common in fighting games that attacks don't only hit straight forward, some attacks start behind u, some go overhead, etc. i don't get what's so noteworthy about that particular case.
i think these fall into the same category: #44, #71.
Also similar is when your opponent jumps over you, and walks into your attack from behind you: #50, #70.
Bugs and glitches:
granted, these are more noteworthy:
What i don't get, is why make several videos detailing the same bug, over, and over again.
And then there's the ones i just don't get at all:
really, why?
Why?
Player 2 had low life, he got hit first, and lost. Am i missing the point? This is a VERY NORMAL situation.
also under this are: #55, #56, #58, #59, #67, #68, # 69, #72, #73, #74, #75, #76, #79.
"Ring out":
They have this strange fascination with ring out losses:
Again, it's something very common in fighting games, i don't get it.
yet, they feel compelled to show it to us again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
Failing?
what is this i don't even...
I can't imagine what's the appeal to those videos or even the reason for them to b uploaded. i really need someone to explain this to me.
I feel that randomly recording 10 secs of anyone playing a fighting game would b equally interesting and obtain the same result.
