bag1 has a system where you'll automatically miss if you attempt a Freeze (the high scoring combo ender move) on the last beat before a solo or the end of the song. the only way around this is to memorize how many beats there are in every song and the intentionally skip one of your moves so that you hit the freeze 4 beats before you're locked out (the easiest way is to hit Right+Circle instead of just Circle on the first move). this was annoying when i was learning about it 20 years ago but now it's kind of a cool thing to juggle when maximizing score.

i like to think they got the idea of forcing you to memorize every stage so that you can intentionally skip shit to get an even higher score later from games like battle garegga, which i also hated 20 years ago and still do lol fuck that game. invisible ass bullets.

this is a load bearing soundtrack of the early internet. you could not visit any sonic fansite in '96 or '97 without hearing an autoplaying midi of Midnight Greenhouse.

would have been less of a bummer if it wasn't for those Strider boss fights that remind you that this game could've been fun if it was a Bayonetta game instead of Kamiya's Shitty Minigame & Scalebound Leftovers Collection.

had a five star review and a one star review in the drafts based on whether or not they nerfed rashid in season 2. we got another year of cyclone mixups let's go <3

saw a big window in a hallway and thought "i've played resident evil, you're not going to get me with that shit."
still got me.

the most i've loved a game's story since Heaven Will Be Mine.

i will never forgive 3rd strike for removing the kinu nishimura art from 2nd impact and new generation.

it's so fucked up that we're never going to see C Viper again man

every patch that "nerfed" anti-air crouch jab made anti-air crouch jab stronger. six straight years of that shit, just a stunning accomplishment.

would have been cool if instead of having half the game be demons that don't even have stealth kill animations they just let me punish more evil merchants

i put this game above wrath of heaven for a lot of reasons but chief among them is because rin's aerial stealth kill is a swinging tornado DDT

tied with bayonetta as my favorite game to not have a single good boss fight in it.

the wind is pushing me into another cave with some goblins and a roborant in it

finished this a month ago and i'm still saying shit like "me not like crops crops die."
