Lets make this nice and quick, I'll update as needed.


2026 FIGHTING GAME OVERVIEW PART 1 -


STREET FIGHTER 6 - THE GENRE LEADER

[Image: INGRID.jpg]
Image Description: Ingrid, a youthul looking alien magical girl in aesthetics invoking mediterianian and reinnisance imagery through its flowy patterns and materials, she wears a hat that has two large muff like elements. She holds a book in one hand, with magic wisps around her.



Three years in it's still by far the best entry point right now for a number of key reasons:

It does everything possible to teach you the game and break down most of the main barriers people have getting into it. Its onboarding its smooth, its learning process is intuitive, it is rich in content and strong in terms of presentation. It's not necissarily going to be everyone's game with it's slower grounded gameplay contrasted against high damage and a few oddities akin to the VS series leading to it being less "pure" by some oldhead standards but it does the job pretty damn well. Character is put on the forefront more than the series has since I'd argue Alpha which is great. 

As far as DLC has gone, Year 3 feels like it wanted to cleanse the palette by having every new character bring something fresh and different in contrast to how homogonized Year 2 felt with Terry and Mai as two more all-rounders and Bison being a strike/throw machine in a game full of them. Sagat is a heavy brawler with big buttons made fresh and fun with hits new focus on Muay Thai strikes as if they took the comparisons to Fahkuram of Tekken personally. C.Viper is pure fun if you're someone who loves having plenty of options and room for personal expression. Alex... well, that I'll save for its own post. Ingrid is the main one I'm waiting for personally, I was praying she'd be something straight out of Darkstalkers and instead she's a full on anime fighter character. 

Tournament entry numbers are massively skewed toward this game, and while I'm not too fond of the marketing side of this game handling Capcom Cup the way they did the core gameplay is still fun if needing a bit more tuning of the top cast. 


DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ - IT'S BACK AGAIN

[Image: Daima%20goku.png]
[Image Description: Super Saiyan 4 Goku from Dragon Ball Daima, a large muscular man with ape-like body hair and big spikey anime hair all a distinctive wine red. He has sharp outlines around his scowlinng eyes and cartoonishly large hands.]



Bandai Namco seemingly has taken the wheel fully from Arc Sys, Daima Goku is fun but he looks and plays like a fan mod. I think the game still maintains the power of being a fun casual fighter and incredible presentation but it's clear the days of it being one of the big hitters are long gone after too many gameplay overhauls in the wrong direction. Still, it's a palette cleanser to come back to after a certain other Tag Fighter this year we'll talk about. 

I have to note he's 8 USD unlike the other characters who at full price are 5 USD so you're paying more for less, emblematic of 2026 really.

GUILTY GEAR STRIVE 2.0 - BACK TO BASICS


[Image: jam.png]
[Image Description: Jam, a chinese chef and martial artist wearing a outfit reflecting both of those elements with the chef's coat on top and large arcing hair knots holding a bunny wearing a collar in one hand.]



Strive has always been a game I've had a massive love hate relationship. When it launched it was fun but matches took ten minutes to find due to a awful lobby system via the Tower and outside of a handful of characters everyone feeling very undertuned and unfinished. Still, this entire game runs off the power and presence of its cast and despite ultimately finding it hard to stomach as this weird mishmash of SFV-isms and a toned down streamlined air dasher loosely playing into the legacy of its old games I keep coming back every once in awhile. 

Season 4 was a big push with a guest, a anime miniseries (a pretty bad one honestly), a normal quickplay ranked system, and the most taboo thing of all:
Adding a conventional shoto ala Ryu/Ken/Akuma through Unika. It did good for the game but ultimately if you weren't sold on the current massively powercrept and messy state of it.. it wasn't going to be for you.

2.0 is a massive overhaul of the game and systems, one that is genuinely great for the most part albeit with a few key points of pain to bring up. 

Jam is finally here, she has a bunny, all is pretty good right now in the world. She's very fun to play with her big flashy moves and speed in a game where half the cast is weirdly heavy for a Arc Sys fighter and while she's undeniably overtuned right now she's a welcome addition. Her Arcade mode having multiple chapters ala Blazblue's acts is also nice, something introduced for Lucy that seems to now be the standard going forward. 

There will be alt costumes, weapon skins, a progression system, and battle passes ala Granblue Versus which are not fully implemented but if they're similarly priced and they continue the model of bringing back items later, that'll be nice. 

Across the board offense and damage have mostly been nerfed with a few outliers (Millia, Leo, Nagoryuki, May, Jam and Happy Chaos are a whole conversation) allowing a more back and forth and interactive game. Wild Assault, a mechanic meant to add a universal neutral skip (increasingly the standard with SF6's Drive Rush, Granblue's 66L, Tekken's Heat, etc) was removed and replaced with something low power after being dominant and contributing to Season 3/4 feeling absurdly aggressive and snowbally. Movesets are reworked, everyone got patched and..

It puts me at a odd spot. At a core its a mechanically more thought out, smarter game that asks more from the player. It also further homogonized the individual characters by removing unique stregnths and making a lot of them... boring. Many of the attempts to revamp kits (Happy Chaos, Testament, Asuka) feel like they don't really work, legacy attributes of characters were removed just for the sake of being different ranging from Millia no longer having a anti-air standing Slash like previous games to.. making Sol a proper fireball shoto and gutting his Heavy Volcanic Viper, a move that was the core of his plan since the 2D games. 

It's healthy for the long run, it has a lot of promise and it's made me play the game a ton more but it went from a mechanically shit game with a incredibly fun cast to a mechanically solid game with a significantly less interesting cast. The quickplay play being weirdly slow compared to Granblue or FighterZ is also a factor that hurts (sometimes wiaitng ten minutes during heavily populated hours) but every issue I have feels like something that can be fixed.

TEKKEN 8 - BIGGER THAN EVER

You'll get to hear my thoughts on this proper when Bob comes out, I haven't bothered with this one. I already miss Harada not gonna lie.

[Image: BOB.jpg]
[Image Description: Bob, a incredibly large blonde American man with light facial hair. He holds a onigiri and wears a red hoodie and a black baseball cap both marked by a sponsor. The had reads "BIGGER THAN EVER"]

I like Bob, he'll save Tekken



MULTIVERSUS - THEY COULD'VE HAD SINNERS DLC



[b][u][Image: Smoke%20and%20Stack.jpg][/u][/b]

[Image Description: Stack and Smoke side by side, two twins from the movie Sinners played by Michael B. Jordon. They are two black men in stylish 1930s suits, red and blue as their individual color highlights and differences meant to put emphasis on their individual tastes and preferences.]


It was a bad game but if they lasted a few more months Smoke and Stack could've gotten in. This deserves its own full conversation though.


[Image: Lola%20Bunny.jpg]


Also why did this game have to be the one to have a rabbit spacie first.


2XKO - THE GAME THAT WILL SAVE THE FGC...?




[Image: 2xko%20leverless.jpg]
[Image Description: A 320 USD Razor Kitsune with a stock render of Ahri from League of Legends slapped on, she is a kitsune inspired by the Korean interpretation with a red dress and disconnected sleeves, dark black/blue hair, facial markings resembling whiskers, and a long massive braid]


Look I respect that the dev team is full of super notable FGC pioneers and all but man this game really does embody that the whole "Fighting Game Characters are Functions" doesn't actually work? I'm gonna have to admit here deep down I really wanted this one to be good but it had all the red flags from early on that screamed "Yeah this one's fucked." and.. yeah this one's fucked. I won't say I hate it, I just think every decision was a mistake?

 The big wave of people coming in through Dragon Ball Fighterz, through Strive, through SF6 is not going to be down to play a old school tag fighter where you die if you fuck up and you learn 30 second long TODs. The League fans aren't down to jump in on a game that turns their favorite characters into generic action figures that prioritize being a homage Yuzuhira from Under-Night in Birth over the characters they're invested in. It launched barebones, broken, only marketed to the hardcore FGC, and only appeals to people with a tolerance for bullshit developed by eating decades of Iron Man infinites. 

The worst part is.. it's probably the most fun game mechanically here in a lot of ways, it is the most rewarding of a variety of skillsets. Too bad everything else about it feels like it barely made it out of Alpha. 30 USD skins aren't helping, Valorant rotating store and prices are probably a bigger reason launch flopped than just being too hard and unpolished. 



Gato is good at it though so that's fun.

GRANBLUE FANTASY VERSUS RISING - SLEEPER HIT STILL KICKING

[Image: fox.png]
[Image Description: Two anime fox girls in incredibly decorative outfits, Societte and Yuel, in a very intimate winscreen were the former looms over the latter looking relaxed whild holding the ribbons of her outfit.]


This game still continues to be the best entry point if you're looking outside of DBFZ. It's very vibrant and lively with the same love and attention Arc Sys puts into games like Guilty Gear and DBFZ and even though I'm not the most familiar with the IP it's based on I'm always excited to see new characters. It is loaded with content and plenty of unlocks, a lobby with a lovely vibe, and a large cast that caters to every playstyle possible. It's my favorite being both a grounded weapons fighter and having some of that Blazblue sauce despite how drastically different the gameplay is and if you're looking at Marvel Tokon this is the closest game to it in a lot of ways. I'm hoping we get a Season 3 but for now a major update coming ith a new character is plenty.






This is also the gayest game in the genre outside of niche super indie stuff.


I'll get to the pile of Tokon, Avatar Legends, Them's Fightin Herds, Invincible vs, Hunter x Hunter, etc at some point. 

Comments and questions welcome.

rn i'm thinking about two of my faves, only one of which is. uh. actually easy to be fair. would not suggest attempting the ufos unless you have an excess of energy and/or help so i don't actually get these often, would recommend tho!

ez mode: chicken pastina / og recipe called it italian penicillin which is a way more fun name. no mold involved!/j

Show Content

..take any 'takes this long' markers with a grain of salt, i sure do. this one's pretty fast, tho, and easy on the stomach. chicken broth w/ tiny pasta, olive oil, lemon juice, n parmesan. nice n warm!

second one's considerably more of a pain in the ass between kneading/mixing the dough and using boiling oil but i'm pretty sure it'd work with gnocchi if you wanted to make your life easier? i call em ufos but, chewy garlic potatoes!

Show Content

prob'ly one of my favorite meals on the occasions i can get help to make it. they aren't too spicy but have a little kick, the sauce is soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and chili powder + green onions.]]>

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SPOILER NEW ANIME SHIT THE WEEK IT COMES OUT THOUGH


ouuuuu dorohedoro. season 2 is coming out soon. como and i are starting to read the manga irl together (i have read it, he has not) and the time to make people aware of this one is now. settle in.

if you are unfamiliar with Dorohedoro, here's a fun summary off of wikipedia:
Quote:
Dorohedoro (ドロヘドロ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Q Hayashida. It was serialized in Shogakukan's manga magazines Monthly Ikki (November 2000 to September 2014), Hibana (March 2015 to August 2017), and Monthly Shōnen Sunday (November 2017 to September 2018); its chapters were collected in 23 tankōbon volumes. Dorohedoro tells the story of the amnesiac reptilian-headed Caiman, working together with his friend Nikaido to recover his memories and survive in a strange and violent world. 


it is also largely about love and friendship and finding it in a hyper-grimy hellscape where any given moment has the chance to be covered in guts. as you can imagine we are highly fond of it.

if you are down with extreme violence and gore, and surreal writing styles/narratives, i can't recommend it enough. it is cool as hell, funny as fuck, and has some of the most lovable characters i have in my "media i love" roster. 

with that: opening 2 is out.

Cat Plushes Specifically]]> <![CDATA[cool things i found]]> https://homebrewdeviants.com/forum/thread-982.html Mon, 09 Mar 2026 01:00:25 +0000 skinstealer]]> https://homebrewdeviants.com/forum/thread-982.html -TAFFY WRAP-

sometimes we will go on mini deep dives over things we find online/irl, usually toys, objects, and ephemera. this is where we will put said findings, though others are more than welcome to share their own. expect these dives to be rambly and off the cuff, because that's the most fun thing for us.

today i started making a new mewgenics plush (i really need to post the ones i've made...) and decided, today is the day i finally use my pink elephant fabric. the pink elephant fabric has haunted us for some time because we got it in a deadstock shipment from Sew by Sew (we will get into this in a moment) and it is so beautiful, and so perfect, that we got caught in the Crafter's Struggle of trying to find the absolute _perfect_ project to use it on.

the problem, of course, is that you will struggle to find the perfect project and never fucking use the awesome fabric. i forced myself to go hunting through the many fabric bins i've accumulated in the past year and a half since starting the sewing adventure, and pulled out things that could work for the reference images i assembled last night.

one of these, of course, being the pink elephant fabric. i still fucking hesitated because god, is this the right project? it's so beautiful. it's one of the best things i've ever gotten in one of these deadstock shipments. what if this is the wrong decision?

aaaand then i realized i was considering it for one of my absolute Favorite mewgenics cats so far and went ah fuck it why not.

[alt: the same fabric in an actual photograph, cut into pieces for a cat shaped plush pattern.]


the fabric for Gizzy Girl, as the game so generously named her (in Mewgenics you cannot change the name of a cat from their pool of largely user-suggested names iirc so whatever you get Congrats that's the name. i like this mechanic a lot! anyway, gizzy!) has been drawn out and cut.

the nice thing about the mewgenics plushes is theyre a fantastic way for us to learn freehand pattern drafting, and gizzy's plush looks to be an ideal, optimized one...probably. our two past plushes, ms mac and mimsie, were a bit..............................not what we expected. still adorable! but neither of them were proportioned quite as planned. things to learn from. but while drafting and cutting, we noticed that we were extremely lucky and the fabric had an actual URL printed on it! we haven't seen this with any of our other secondhand fabric so far, but recognize it as a good way for people to see what manufacturer/designer fabric is from. and thus- the deep dive began. 


[Image: 1-3.png]

the URL provided was for a wholesale manufacturer called Henry Glass Fabrics, which is one we haven't heard of yet. looks to be a manufacturer with a decent pile of designers, which i'd like to dig into later and see what's up there. they say that they're specifically a wholesaler for independent fabric stores, which is very neat!

i didn't really think about the fact that there are probably wholesale manufacturers that prefer to work with indies, but it makes sense to me...i've never been to a proper indie store on account of my inability to leave the house frequently and the scarcity of said stores where i've lived over the course of my near-30 years of being alive, but now i feel even more spurred to go figure that out. 

it does look like the fabric is mainly quilting cotton, with some minky available. i have Opinions on minky that could be gotten into another day, because right now i'd rather focus on my findings. quilting cotton, conversely, is my favorite fabric to buy and work with outside of sock material, and i am delighted to find a manufacturer i can hunt for. you can't exactly buy these things directly from the site, seeing as they are wholesalers, but the great news is- the fabric i got ALSO had the proper line listed!

this pink elephant fabric is part of a **set!** 

some terminology- quilting fabric is often sold in specifically sized precut bundles when you're buying a set. one particularly common sizing for these called Fat Quarters, which is a 1/4 yard of fabric. i don't know where the fat part comes from. these sets are meant to work together in order to create a cohesively designed quilt, with patterns generally matching a theme and palette. i've had a great experience buying smaller fat quarter bundles, and the larger ones tempt me dangerously.

i knew that looking up whatever set this was for the elephant was going to be a problem. 


[Image: 1-4.png]
[alt: a set of fabric featuring beautiful spring patterns, all in a tantalizing ring shape.]


investigating the set had instant results, making my job as fabric detective very very easy. the design in question was from the Nana Mae 6 set, which appears to be a cute, vibrant collection featuring flowers and playful animals. i want it desperately. it is so good. it is a reproduction of 1930's fabric. it is also sold out and on the site i found the set, costs 96 USD when not on sale. individual yards cost anywhere from 8-12 USD. i will not be getting the Nana Mae 6 collection. 

however, that price raised the question- if you have 24 fat quarters in a bundle, and they cost 96 dollars, and i have what appears to be half a yard versus a quarter...

how much did i save, by getting this in a deadstock bundle for either 15 or 30 USD with a shitload of other fabric? (...i do not remember which bundle i got.)


[Image: 1-5.png]
[alt: the sew by sew logo]


the deadstock seller Sew by Sew is an amazing resource for fabric on the cheap. along with Swanson's Fabrics they are my retailer of choice by far, and both specialize in giving fabric that would have been thrown into a landfill a new home. while i don't see myself as someone saving the environment or anything, it feels good to not contribute to that- and frankly, old shit is just better. like, sorry to say it but the old fabric industry had a lot more good shit in the works. i just prefer to work with older stuff, and to get those goods, you have to go to the people willing to salvage it and sell it to crafters at a good price.

their mystery fabric bundles tempt me every time i get an email from them. genuinely diabolical- they get the leftovers from things like the fashion industry and sell it in a pack by the pound. i forget if we got the 1 lb or 3 lb bundle for our first order, but the pink elephant fabric was in whatever that was....and i mean, by god. look at it. it was the clear winner of the huge pile and we thus never fucking touched it out of aforementioned Fear. 


[Image: 1-6.png]
[alt: taffy wrap's TCP model sitting at a laptop, up to some calculations.]

so, let's do some math. i can't do numbers for shit so shoutout to google calculator. 

this is going to be an extremely rough range, mainly because due to being a wholesaler situation with different sizings of the fabric leading to different pricings, along with whether things are in a set....there's no real way to know how much whoever had this fabric originally paid for it. add in the fact that i either got this in a 15 USD or 30 USD bundle, we're just going to ignore that part of the equation and go "wow, what a good price for such a large bundle of fabric!" and leave it at that. 

there are 24 fabric designs in the Nana Mae 6 set. if you get the 96 USD set of all of them in fat quarter sizing, you're looking at 4 USD per quarter. a half yard would be 8 USD, by that price.

if you were to go by the individual yard, you're looking at 8 to 12 USD, by the guesstimates i made by a quick google search. ebay also says that a yard of it secondhand goes for 10 USD, so yeah, that's pretty good for a range. buying things NOT precut will get you a better price, like, literally every time. however, for those who want just a smaller amount...yeah, you want to go with the quarters. such is life.

halving that is anywhere from 4 to 6 USD, with the middle of that being 5 USD. a whole ass 200% from the fat quarter price! jesus. pretty expensive difference, especially when you consider a fat quarter being not all that much fabric in the long run. my plushes generally take up a yard of fabric or less, and even though these ones have taken eghhhh around a fat quarter or so each, they're pretty damn small. think around beanie baby range, for comparison.


[Image: 1-7.png]
[alt: taffy's TCP sitting nonchalantly, feeling pleased with himself.]


comparing anywhere from 5 to 10 USD to either a 15 or 30 USD bundle...wow, damn. that's a really good deal. even if i were to buy the individual yard on ebay, it still wouldn't compare to how good this deal is when you consider i distinctly remember the elephants being in a proper pile of fabric goodies.

the moral of the story? buy deadstock. if you want to take a lil gamble and see what interesting fabrics are out there, and are cool with not getting exact patterns or sizes for your projects...why not? you're helping keep things out of landfills and getting The Good Shit- including fabrics no longer produced. while this one does seem to be circulating just fine, i've gotten some really old stuff that will never see the light of day again in a mainstream shop.

and it still holds up great.


DISCLAIMER LITERALLY AFTER I FINISHED WRITING THIS i found out that Henry Glass Fabrics is a part of a larger brand amalgam named Jaftex. more to investigate...]]> -TAFFY WRAP-

anyway i'll start. i am going to IKEA with knux when he visits and i am utterly fucking obsessed with the new GREJSIMOJS collection. they decided to make a playroom inspired set that could be put in any room of the house and i think if i dont get at least some of these things in my home i will actively explode into gibs.

[alt: three distinctly creature-like furniture pieces, all in striking simple shapes and looking very cute. there's a sitting blue dog lamp, a capsule-shaped cat storage container, and a long necked giraffe lamp. they don't have facial features to speak of, but have plenty of personality.]

like jesus fucking christ. how am i supposed to cope with these things. where do i apply them to my brain inspos. i hope to god i can have at least one of them in my home because what the fuck


as for music, The End of Nothing by Pluginpsyche came up in my recommendeds and it will always be welcome in my brain. 


[alt: an instrumental track featuring heavy synths and an action-heavy pace, broken up by haunting, quieter sections.]

this is a track that featured in an unfinished 2ch cats animation as a sequel to Savior Cat- those who know how much of an inspiration they are for TCP, know. 



[CW for extreme cartoon violence/gore, as well as flashing. simply put, this is a beautiful unfinished animation where a bunch of cartoon cats kill each other.]

it's hard to really state just how much the Nightmare City, Savior Cat, and Saint Elmo's Bullet animations had on our psyche. i genuinely believe this is where the urge to be shaped like this came from, in that sort of weird TCP-esque way that was also distinctly, like. these are Adults. they are blatantly cartoon, Cute cats, but they have a maturity and gravity to us that was very much inspiring as a kid. yeah, warrior cats had the guts and fighting etc and i really don't know how much i could really say of that is simply bias (and i was a HUGE warrior cats) and more the development of refined taste as a 13 year old. who knows!!!!

anyhow, chuck stuff in here. it is not guaranteed by any stretch that we'll use anything here for anything at all, but we would love to hear what something means to yall in general. share things you love!]]>
