My Top 20 Favorite Video Games

(Listed in the order in which I played them)

Pokémon Red Version - Along with my matching red Game Boy Pocket, this was the first video game I owned that was purely mine and not handed down from an older kid. I still go back and replay this every couple of years on that very same Game Boy Pocket or on the 3DS Virtual Console. I know there’s FireRed and a whole series of more modern Pokémon games at my disposal but the original Red Version easily gets the most nostalgia points. Sometimes that’s what it’s all about, no? Banjo-Kazooie - Similarly, the N64 became my first home console that wasn’t a hand-me-down and it came equipped with both bear and bird (complete with “screaming about it on Christmas morning”). After going back and replaying this almost twenty years later I gained new appreciation for how goofy and colorful it is. Treasure Trove Cove is so fucking catchy. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - From its kickin’ soundtrack to its satisfying controls to its random-ass virtual pet simulator this game has it all. Multiplayer was always pretty exciting too, I remember many an afternoon trying to one-up a friend during a grind race. No 3D Sonic game compares to this if you ask me, although Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed come sort of close in their own ways. What I wouldn’t give for a proper Sonic Adventure 3... Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes - I remember playing this at my local arcade in my youth before eventually getting a port of it for the Xbox 360. The look of its 2D sprites are phenomenal and - if it will help you understand why I love this game - I’m singing “I Wanna Take You For a Ride” to myself as I type this. Metroid: Zero Mission - This was the first Metroid game I ever actually beat, and it was the game that made me fall in love with the series. I love Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Samus Returns as well but I like Zero Mission’s visual style the most. I was so thrown for a loop when Samus lost her Power Suit towards the end of the game but it only made getting it back that much sweeter.  Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - I started playing this one in 2004 but didn’t officially beat it until way later in 2017. For a while I had a pattern I’d go through every few years of “start playing, enjoy it for a while, get lost, and start over for some reason.” Took me thirteen years to get serious about it but it earned its place as my favorite of the 3D Metroid games. I felt so fulfilled once it was complete, like I was achieving a childhood dream. Kingdom Hearts II - I don’t think I would’ve gotten into this game if not for my friend’s suggestion but I couldn’t thank him enough for it. This is another one of those games you only vaguely understand when you’re a kid only to realize how complex and intuitively designed it is in your adulthood. After the long wait, Kingdom Hearts III proved to be pretty satisfying but I just have too much history with its predecessor for it not to win a spot on this list. Jak 3 - Though my interest in this series burned fast and bright, this game still sticks out to me as one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I played the third installment before Jak and Daxter or Jak 2 but that’s fine because it’s the best goddamn one. Driving around in the desert, swapping out gun modules, and taking flight on some janky wings made of light were definitely the highlights for me. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - I got into this game during the latter period of Wrath of the Lich King but I didn’t feel like an official WoW player until this fiery, grim expansion. It was the first real online game I’d ever played (if you don’t count Neopets and Adventure Quest) that I started as a Night Elf Warrior in a PVP server and ended as a Worgen Hunter in a non-PVP server. Because fuck the Horde, that’s why. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - I got Skyrim on a whim because I literally couldn’t think of anything else I wanted for Christmas in 2011. There was no hype for me, I knew nothing ‘bout no Dragonborns, but I thought “heck it” and dove in anyway. After originally playing it on Xbox 360 and replaying it more recently on PS4 (with a slew of mods) I can say with confidence this game continues to blow me away. I always seem to find something new even though I feel like I know it like the back of my hand. I did get involved in The Elder Scrolls Online later on but Skyrim is still where it’s at. Soul Calibur V - I was first introduced to the tale of souls and swords (eternally retold, of course) through Soul Calibur II and only because you could play as Link on the Gamecube version. Fast-forward to 2012 and I was still on board with its story and cast of characters but its character creation was really what kept me hooked. Soul Calibur VI turned out to be a little disappointing but I definitely got the most out of its fifth installment and I’m guilty of having played for hours and hours on end. Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward - What began as a free trial because I was bored turned into a years-long interest in yet another MMO. While the base game was okay it really picked up speed with Heavensward and I was hooked from that point onwards. After a certain point I caught myself not skipping cutscenes and discovered - oh hey - the story’s actually really good. Star Wars Battlefront - I loved this game when it came out on PS4 and used it often to get my insatiable Star Wars fix. Aerial combat was my downright favorite part of the game and I loved smoking some TIE Fighters in an X-Wing or in the Millennium Falcon. Its sequel Star Wars Battlefront II could’ve made this list but EA was being a real dirtbag about it and now I find it hard to look back on happy memories of it the same way. The 2015 game is thankfully unsullied by those sour elements, however, so I’d say its gotta be my favorite Star Wars game ever. Overwatch - This game came to me at a time when I only wanted to play games that had character creation. I was hesitant to get to know all the characters and lore but I’m overjoyed I did since they’re so rich in personality and fun details. Once I got the hang of characters like McCree, Soldier, Reinhardt, and Widowmaker I was absolutely sold and I still play it two years later. Sonic Mania - The delightful trailer for this game got me all riled up but I wouldn’t know just how great it was until I was playing it myself. I don’t think I could ever truly enjoy my previous favorite 2D Sonic games (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD) ever again because this game just feels better than all of them combined.  The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - I didn’t really grow up with the Legend of Zelda, only ever playing A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess, but I immediately knew I was going to enjoy this open world take on the series. Just the sheer freedom of what you could do and where you could go was enough to reel me in and its aesthetic still amazes me with how great of a mood it generates. Final Fantasy VII - I still remember going into a GameStop when I was in high school and naively attempting to buy a used copy of this game for the PS1. It was an “epic fail,” as I would’ve said at the time. But over a decade later I downloaded it on the PS4 and went to town, getting my full FF7 experience at long last and loving every minute of it. Very stoked for the remake; it’s probably my most anticipated game right now. Marvel’s Spider-Man - What a surefire hit this was. From the moment the first gameplay footage was out I knew this was going to be the must-have web-swinging, wall-crawling good time. I love that there are so many ways to play the same character and everyone can really embody their own version of Peter Parker. I’m also from New York City so seeing a digital rendition of Manhattan was a real treat (even though they changed uptown a lot and my old apartment doesn’t exist in the game). Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Nine of the other nineteen entries in this list feature a character who’s playable in this latest Smash game. I get that people like Melee for reasons and whatever but how can you not like SSBU, the game that has it all? I’m still riding the high of Banjo and Kazooie entering the fray and I absolutely cannot wait to see where things go from here. Never had more fun playing local multiplayer in my life. Red Dead Redemption II - Never cared for Grand Theft Auto and the first Red Dead Redemption was fun but damn, there’s nothing quite like its sequel. I’m still working my way through the story just because I’ve spent so much time out in the wide open world, taking my time and seeing the sights. I might be a city boy but I have a deep appreciation for the American West and if this game ain’t just the prettiest damn thing I ever did see... hoo-WEE! Top shelf.

Player Spotlight: IAmSimba

Current City and State: Charlotte, NC

Games You Play: Under Night In Birth: Late EXE.st, Dragonball FighterZ, Tekken 7, Street Fighter V

Match Highlight:

Tell us about yourself. How did you get your start into fighting games?

I am a very passionate fan of the genre, and I am someone that can get emotional overall. I love fighting games because I can put my heart and emotions into something I enjoy in a good way. I started as a casual player growing up. I played a lot of Soul Calibur 2 and a little bit of SF II Champion Edition on the Sega Genesis. I later found a fighting game group here in Charlotte and started playing a lot of SFIV. I then decided to start playing competitively and acquired my own arcade stick, and the rest was history.

In your game of choice, which character(s) do you play and why specifically those characters?

Everyone that knows me in the community pretty much knows that Sakura is my all-time favorite character in all of fighting games. Along with Sakura, I played D’vorah in MK X, and I currently play Yuzuriha in Under Night as well. The big reason why I play those characters is space control. I enjoy watching high level neutral and the ability to limit a character’s options in neutral. Sakura in SF IV was a very frame trap heavy character, and she was very potent. In SF V, she is more footsie orientated and neutral heavy. On top of that, I always go for the aesthetics of a character, in terms of their appearance and design, and these characters instantly caught my eye, and that’s why I enjoy them the most.

 What is your approach to the way you play your game? What do you tend to go for and what do you tend to look for in your opponents?

I always try to make the opponents make decisions that they didn’t want to make, and I want to punish them heavily for doing so. It’s like the hit and not get hit mentality, where you make them play your game, and when they step out of line, you bring down the hammer. For example, whiff punishing is something I take great pride in practicing because it forces the opponent to be more careful when sticking out buttons. Once you establish that, you slowly limit their options and they become more cautious. What are some things that you like the most about being a part of your fighting game scene? What are some things you wish could change?

I believe that the multiple personalities and how they all interact is probably the thing I love the most about the scene. Of course, there is always some good and bad that can come with it, but for the most part, it's what I love the most. The energy is also something I enjoy seeing as well.

If there’s one thing I wish we could change, that would be getting players to open their eyes to other games. Variety is never a bad thing, and with all the fighting games currently out, why not test the waters and learn other games as well? I believe learning other games can also improve your overall fundamentals in other aspects as well.

 What is the match you remember the most and what made it so memorable?

I believe the money match I had with That_Masher is probably the most memorable for a couple of reasons. It was my first money match, and it was also the first time I was directly called for it. At the time, we were both learning the game online, and I was doing rather well against him. He then wanted to do a money match offline at the next possible tournament, and as we were about to start, He started talking trash. I simply stated that I would let my abilities talk for me, and the rest was history. It was a dominant performance, and it was also the 1st time I have ever taunted someone in a match.

 Finally, any advice for any of the newer players looking to join their local scene?

The most important thing I can honestly tell you is to go into the scene playing the game/character that you love and have fun with it. I also believe that asking for advice and questions is also a great way to gain traction within the scene. It shows that you are serious about making strides and people are more than willing to do so.

Hints

A Killing Combo With Nightmare

First, choose Nightmare then get the Soul Edge Complete. When the battle starts do a soul charge(Z button). Now press A and X together then press A twice, then press Y(hold), Y(hold), Y(hold). Now for him to do the whole combo correctly, you must slur (press all buttons fast) the buttons. Your opponent should die, now. Hope it works for you, it did for me!!!

One Hit Kill With Nightmare

First pick Nightmare and the Soul Edge Complete. Next, when you have Nightmare and the Soul Edge Complete, do a soul charge(z button). Then, very rapidly, ROLL the control stick over the down, downright,and right notches and then press the Y button. Remember you must do all of this very fast.

Easy First Level Weapon Master Win

Equip a weapon that penetrates defenses. When Mitsirugi tells you to run around, start attacking him.

Easy Ringouts

To get easy ring outs, select link. When the fight starts run to the edge of the arena and wait for your enemy to get close and use his A B throw and your enemy will fly off the edge. It works great in the labyrinth or the tomb in weapon master mode.:)

Beat Inferno Easly

To beat Inferno quicker on arcade mode is to do those grab moves (A and B at same time) and some how it does extra damage!!

Slow Motion Replay

Hold L or R during replays in any VS mode.

Alioth

To find the subchapter of Alioth can be found if you are an edge master or higher. Play the third level of Mizar. Then you should find Alioth.

One Hit Kill Combo With Voldo

This combo’s tricky, but it works. But, for it to work, you need Voldo’s weapon: Cat Claws. Now, once you’ve selected Voldo, and Cat Claws, you’re ready for the combo. First, do a Soul Charge, (the “Z” button), than, press the control stick between the down and right position. While you have it there, press the “A” and “Y” buttons together. You should crouch down, charge the attack, and lunge out at the enemy. Now, sometimes, he won’t perform the entire combo. But, for when he does, after he jumps out at the other guy, he should roll up into a ball, fall on the ground, and stretch out his arms and legs. Also, for him to do ALL of this, you have to keep holding “A” and “Y”. Anyway, that’s how you do it.Note: As I stated above, if Voldo doesn’t do the whole combo, it sure does do one heck of a lot of damage.

To save money, play through the entire game with Charade in Weapon Master Mode and any other part of the game.
