Player Profile: Retrofraction

cinematographer and top 12 of at Heat Wave 3 (artwork by @daveydboi)

What names do you go by?

I go by Retrofraction, but after playing in a clan in Warframe I go by "Ret" for short. It's source was a Mega Man fan site in the early era of the internet. They called the classic Mega Man section at the Retrofraction and it stuck with me.

How did you get into Lethal League?

I was searching on itunes for Hideki Naganuma music. I am a huge fan of Jet Set Radio and the music behind it. I ran into Ain't Nothin' Like a Funcky Beat and freaked out when I saw Lethal League and Jet. When it came to tournaments, I was lucky that one of the first major meetups was at the local game lounge SAK Gaming.

What’s your current Lethal League experience?

Um... so I am a filthy casual that knows just enough to beat new players. I think I took out 3-4 (one was DQ for no show) at Heat Wave 3. I mean I have beaten the game and unlocked all of the content on my Switch, but yeah the next few months I am going to put in a lot of time online and in the lab.

Who are your main/side/counter character picks?

I roll with Jet. Much like some Street Fighter player, I stick with a single character for every match up. That probably puts me at a disadvantage because I stick with a single character but I really like how Jet can fly through the air with a jet pack and create some really unique mix ups.

What are your favourite character outfits?

I like all of them, though I do like the Neon Pink Jet costume and the dark navy one.

What are your stage preferences?

My favorite stage is the Sewer. It looks just like the Poison Jam's hide out, which is where the players in JSR meet Garam. Stages I want to avoid? None

What input method do you use?

So, I use the Pokken Controller. I was sold on Pokken back on the Wii U and I bought multiple controllers in hope of playing with other people. I didn't end up playing that game a ton but I loved the shoulder buttons on the Pokken pad as they are large and very satisfying to press. I guess I have always been a pad player though.

Who do you hope to meet at Michigan Masters?

I think right now I just want to meet up with the SoCal group, especially CoffeeGrounds as I played casuals with him at Heat Wave 3 and had a great time.

What other games do you play?

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and Dead or Alive 6. BBTag is my other main game right now. I really love that game because of the cool characters and the tag mechanics are really good. So I am going to try to take Chie Hazama to the next level :3

As an indie film maker, is there a chance you might record some footage of the tournament?

I’m totally down for bringing my camera gear with me, I have a pretty decent small backpack set up that probably will fit on the airplane.

Tripods there might be a little bit more difficult but I’ll see what I can get done.

Is there anything else you’d like to say to the community?

Don't count Arizona out! I am going to try my best to place top 8 to keep my state on the board. But keep playing I wanna learn more and have a great time.

What’s on your Black Friday hitlist?

Cheap Bastard Day

I have no problem admitting this: I am a cheap bastard. A very cheap bastard indeed, as it were. For about 90% of the things I buy, I’d rather wait until there’s a decent sale or discount and go without them than pay full price and have it now. This goes for literally everything — food, clothes, toiletries, games. You name it, and I’m waiting to buy it until it’s much cheaper than it is right now.

Which is why Black Friday kicks so much ass. Retailers are desperate to pull money out of my wallet and into their cold clutches, and will stop at nothing to lure me into their web of consumerism. For the most part, I withhold my affection to the Retail Gods like a distant stepmother; but come Black Friday, I wiggle these fingers and grab indiscriminately like Uncle Terry after four too many glasses of wine over Thanksgiving dinner.

There are always a few items I specifically hold out on until they hit those sweet, sweet Black Friday prices. I think pretty much everyone holds out for TVs and other electronics, and Amazon usually has some good deals on their brands of various consumer goods. Hell, my mom used to wait to buy candles until Black Friday. Uh, I guess there are good BF deals on candles? Who knew?

But for me, gaming is where this capitalist spending orgy of a “holiday” really shines. Consoles get huge discounts and special bundles, and games hit those magical sweet spot prices that I kept saying I’d bite on back when those suckers were sitting at full MSRP. You just know you’re going to get some hot deals on those games that have been sitting on the shelves since February, anxiously waiting for those perfect price points to finally find their home.

So our question to you is: What specific games or gaming items have you been holding out on until Black Friday?

We asked our C-Blogs readers what was on their Black Friday hitlist, and here’s what they had to say.

Retrofraction knows all about paying too much for something too early:

There is DBZ Fighters for $25 at Walmart…I paid $60.

Boxman214 is in the holiday spirHEY WAIT:

I’m saving all my money to buy your mom some lingerie.

Confused as he may be to the locations of the deals, at least Shoggoth2588 knows what he wants:

Kirby: Star Allies! It’s going to be….I think between $30 – $35 and I think it’s Wal*Mart with the cheaper price. I’m probably going to grab Monster Hunter World too which is $20 at…I think Best Buy.

ThisIsAName and I have many similar problems:

Looking at my bank account…not a whole lot. Instant gratification is a hell of a drug. Though I should probably invest in a new non-gaming laptop. My 2008 alienware I stole from my partner is finally giving up the ghost.

I’m glad I don’t have kids to entertain. Pour one out for Vesalius:

I don’t know yet. Birthday is coming up and I normally don’t get myself much of anything. Kinda feeling impulsive this year.

Kids really want a Switch, but I’m probably gonna hold out. I want to get the XCOM 2 season pass and finish off my Total War: Warhammer DLC. I need to find a game on steam with local coop the kids can play and won’t lose interest of after five minutes. They’re really into Genesis and Atari ports.

What’s this restraint you speak of, Voodoome?

I’m waiting till Black Friday to grab my wife a new headset. As far as myself is concerned I don’t usually buy for myself around this time of the year. My wife has plans for Christmas I’m sure and I don’t want to ruin them.

I just finished Spider-Man and DQXI though and I’m really resisting the temptation to buy RDR. I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Unity instead, and just waiting to see what Christmas brings.

Good luck, FakePlasticTree…

Dragon Quest, assuming it goes on sale.

That’s our Adzuken, always looking for new games to play:

Oh, you know. Whatever becomes affordable. Wouldn’t mind picking up WWE 2K19, EDF 4.1 for the hubby and I, Mutant Football League, and any number of odds and ends. I don’t discriminate, I just want something new to play.

I’ll probably also obsessively look at Calico Critter prices, trying desperately not to buy any. Will I cave? Probably.

Occams goes for the essentials:

A Playstation Pro.

Toilet Paper.

House4Lyfe sounds like a man with a plan:

God of War ($29.99) and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy ($9.99). I’m a patient gamer and with a huge backlog I have no rush to buy anything at full price.

Oh, M Randy, you had me at “also cocks:”

Xbox One X Shadow of War Spider-Man Maaayyybe God of War Oh and your love

Hey sp testure, you should change your name to sp posture:

Well I already ordered a new gaming chair. They were having one of those pre Black Friday deals on Amazon. So I took the plunge…

So, what about you? What’s on your Black Friday hitlist?

Check out the blogs of 10/7 to 10/13/2018 and ponder the worth of Waluigi

WAAAH an exquisite world

When Tremendous Smash Bros. Final was introduced, and Masahiro Sakurai promised that it’ll each bit value that “Final” moniker, followers of various fringe characters have been thrilled. Every hoped that their beforehand ignored favorites could be included on this most final of online game celebrations.

Waluigi followers have been the loudest. In any case, Waluigi was the king of fringe.

And so, in a fated E3 2018 Nintendo Direct, Waluigi was revealed… as an Help Trophy, confirming his absence as a playable character. That’s the purpose during which one thing unusual occurred. For some motive, Waluigi followers sprang via the online, converging collectively in a important mass of “WAAAAH”s and “WALUIGI TIME!” cries.

It was the explosion of a little-known web meme into full-blown mainstream recognition and outrage tradition. Predictably, the tireless Sakurai was harassed and harangued repeatedly, the sport was dismissed by a vocal minority and followers of different characters have been flamed in on-line boards for not agreeing with the WAAAAH brigade.

For some motive, the king of fringe was anticipated by some to participate within the sport, as if his place in it was solely pure. This outrage, if nothing, assumed that it makes primary sense to incorporate Waluigi within the sport.

This ignores one primary reality.

The truth that, as a personality, Waluigi simply plain sucks.

Let’s assessment the character historical past. Needing a doubles associate for Wario within the Nintendo 64’s Mario Tennis sport, Camelot Software program (who have been creating the sport for Nintendo) simply threw collectively this character. He was a spin-off of a spin-off character, who can be a rival of a spin-off character. Every thing in his design is thrown collectively, together with the identify. The Wa, in Wario, was a pun for evil in Japanese. It was meant to roll off the tongue and be a corruption of the well-known plumber’s identify. Waluigi is simply an extension to Luigi’s identify; “Evil Luigi” mainly. All signs of inventive chapter, as if he was created by some Sonic fandom web site moderately than Nintendo themselves.

From that time ahead, featured solely in Mario spin-off titles. Leaping hoops in a single sport, driving maniacally in one other, and to the riotous pleasure of his followers, signaling his crotch at one time. Within the sum of those video games, he’s simply one other additional character, somebody to spherical out the numbers.

Whereas the characters who impressed him, Wario and Luigi, each went on to have their separate solo video games that showcased their character. Waluigi simply “WAAAAH”-ed his manner into extra spin-off video games. One motive is that, like Daisy, the character merely had little character to showcase.

Within the newest Mario Celebration sport, the place you’ve entry to lots of Bowser’s minions as playable characters, Waluigi’s faults are laid naked. Even probably the most harmless of Goombas have extra attraction and character than this web celeb.

For some motive, the web mistook their created meme, one thing fully unbiased of the character as Nintendo have utilized him, and took that as his canon character. Perhaps, simply possibly, the internet-created Waluigi is value contemplating for Final.

Nonetheless, not like the true Waluigi…

A Goomba could be a greater and extra iconic match.

“WAAAAH!”

*- Agent 9 has showcased seven completely different online game tracks within the final week (as you’ll be able to see under), and the highest one, in my view, is the spooky “Unusual Home” theme from Pokemon, which rivals the legendary “Lavender City” theme with its model and creepiness.

S- Like final 12 months, Agent 9 is again along with his October themed weblog collection the place he discusses one horror-themed tune every single day and sometimes provides out prizes. This is a wonderful collection that goes into respectable depth on the background and impact of every tune. Listed here are the blogs he wrote this week:

The Pokemon collection has its fair proportion of spooky tunes and spooky ranges, and the “Unusual Home” theme provides “Lavender City” a run for its cash.

Sonic just isn’t a collection you normally affiliate with horror tunes, and “Mystic Mansion” from Sonic Heroes is unquestionably a extra playful tackle a haunted mansion theme.

This tune is a extra unsettling monitor than typical, and might be a bit extra unsettling than a sport known as Leap Scare Mansion warrants.

The unique Rayman had a superb atmospheric soundtrack, and I see that the sequel continued in that model, if this creepy tune is any indication.

Ghosts will be scarier than monsters, and this creepy however hauntingly stunning theme from Oxenfree simply pulls me into taking part in a spooky sport. It has a tragic and melancholic pull to it that’s tough to let go of.

It isn’t an unusual opinion that there’s an eerie and disturbing background to many Nintendo video games, like Pikmin, for those who cease and give it some thought. As such, it’s no shock that Agent 9 selected a boss theme from the sport, “Waterwraith Assault,” as a tense reminder of the numerous Pikmin cries of agony you expertise all through.

Even horrible video games can have good music, as this monitor from Steel Gear Survive can verify. Would not change anybody’s opinion concerning the sport although.

S- This can be an enormous enterprise by depheonix, who’s writing a horror story the place the Dtoid group can select what occurs subsequent. Give this story a learn and assist the characters survive (or ensure that they die you sadistic monsters).

S- Becoming the theme of this month, Xeo shares this story of his expertise rising up in a haunted home. I do know that not everybody believes on this type of metaphysical factor, however the story is value it only for the immersive writing.

R- If I needed to guess, I might say that every one the video games Kerrik52 will assessment this month might be horror themed, and we begin off with this assessment of Koudelka, a little-known title that’s impressed by JRPGs and the primary Resident Evil sport in equal measures.

R- There might be every kind of arguments for the genius of Shenmue, however Spazzzh20 is having none of that on this assessment of the newly launched assortment of the 2 Shenmue video games.

R- Like along with his final assessment, Spazzzh20 does a fantastic job within the textual content. This time they’re reviewing the DS model of The World Ends With You, however I really feel the assessment desperately wants a number of footage to showcase the sport.

A- Now we have many gifted individuals at Dtoid, and triggerpigking will take artwork commissions from the group at demand. Go over and take a look at samples of the work and see if you’re .

F- Now we have an enormous Dr. Who fan in our midst, and that needs to be nice for any followers of the physician who need to focus on the most recent episodes in a wonderfully spoiler-rich setting. Boxoftreatsman214 will focus on every new episode of Dr. Who as they arrive out, so learn on if you’re .

F- If the above dialogue does not curiosity you in any respect, with Dr. Who being utterly alien to you (HAH), then it is best to learn Boxoftreatsman214’s weblog right here that particulars precisely what there’s to like concerning the present.

F- The discharge of Venom was extra profitable than most critics thought, however not everybody who loved the film, regardless of its failings, is happy with its extra campy facets, as Ryu2388 reveals on this assessment of the movie.

T- With the ever rising graphical constancy of TV screens, this tech-focused weblog by Retrofraction is a stable argument towards being pulled by the most recent in 4K tendencies. It is a nice learn for anybody considering shopping for a brand new shiny 4K TV.

Final week, we managed to get 29 blogs, which is up from the earlier week and appears prefer it’s selecting up in the course of the month. We’re certain to get extra horror themed tunes from Agent 9 as nicely, and we are going to in all probability get some extra horror themed blogs too. We nonetheless want some contemporary blood on the recaps group, so give us a shout out if you’re keen to affix.

Subsequent week, you’re going to get one other Weekly Recap, protecting the times from 10/14 to 10/20. So preserve studying and writing blogs!

Be Fortunate
