Jeff, Man Dog, you look ten times better in ball-caps. Kinda hot.

But do not rock a retro Expos unless you are prepared to add to the legacy.

I see there is no Montreal Expos entry in the Giant Bomb database, probably for because there is no video game as such. Rectify this and/or check yoself befoe you wreck yoself.

This game was awesome - for being a dumb fighting game joke, it really controlled well. I'm not a huge fighting game guy, but my buddy who is tried it out and came back a true believer.

While I was at the booth, I joked with one of the Iron Galaxy guys that Dave Lang needs to be a playable character - and he 100% agreed. We need to get the groundswell support going to put the Lang Zone in Divekick!

I still can't believe they're making this into a REAL game. It sounds like it's designed for folks too lazy or too stupid to learn to play a fighting game.

Also the part where every attack is a one hit kill sounds crazy.

Dave said on the Giant Bomb panel that every hit is worth a million damage and each player starts with 1000 hit points.

This game looks incredible and Dave Lang is awesome. The true master of dive kicks is Seth from King of Fighters 2000. He has got 4 variations and one of them is like a straight down Bison stomp.

This game looks like a lot of fun. It also looks like the crazy two button controller adds to that fun but I don't know if I can justify buying a separate controller that I can only use for one, downloadable game.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Mike "stand up dude" Ross at the Madcatz booth.

Love the Sox and Expos throwbacks, and Divekick looks surprisingly fun.

Saw them going to film this from the line for Transistor, I kind of regret not following them.

Also, "To win your next battle, use the element which brings life" is possibly the greatest joke in a game made of great jokes.

I was watching them film this from the same line and went "is that Mike Ross?"

Yes, yes it was.

They could make a brick sized controller with two buttons. Probably cheaper then those ones at PAX.

@metalgearstl:Dive = jump up high. Kick = divekick from the air or hop backwards if you are on the ground.

Mix and match combos for variations on that, like double kick to alter divekick angle mid divekick for one character. Auto facing direction switching too when you go past them.

So you can dive and you can kick...how do you control your character? I see jumping straight up or forward or backward. Is that randomly decided which direction you jump? Is it dependent on how long 'dive' is pushed or held?
