spent a lot of time in arcades when I was younger

now all this flashy stuff serve no purpose to me and you end up looking at a cutscene in the middle of a fight 😦

good luck doing cancels and all those kind of stuff in the middle of your cutscenes

Morning

Making cel shaders is fun.

I personally enjoy shaders that look kinda like this. Toon, but also 3D looking.

Or sometimes games try to make it look a lot more toony and try to cut out the 3D look.

(Same shader, btw, just with different values / colors applied. Same lights, I think I just tweaked the camera angle a bit.)

ayy lmao

They're here

They're watching

towelie didn't Mortal Kombat have these "flashy animations" which you complain about

the last ones yeah

I didn't like them though

for me mortal kombat, it's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6hQic0o_Mc

I mean the SNES one

or genesis

same gen, right

nah the snes / genesis one was okay

no camera changes, etc

doesn't it have super moves or whatever

fatality ?

that's post game

yes

like, after the fight is over

ohh

I must be confusing it with something else

and there was no such thing as camera's changing angle etc for those

I remember a fighting game in which you can get gored mid fight from a super attack and then your character just stands back up

nah there wasn't such thing, you could send people through the ceiling or stuff like that at most

but this is it

oh yeah

ceilings and holes, don't those count as cutscenes?

well hardly, I didn't like it that much though

I only saw those in DoA so maybe it's diferent

oh yeah it's a lot different than DoA ^^"

that's basically a 3sec animation that makes you change the stage

so how does it work in MK?

basically, you can just uppercut somebody through the celling and your character jump there too, it's fast, doesn't have a lot of flashy animation and it serves just one purpose
