Thursday Night Throwdown: 03/28/2013

I'm going to have to buy this now.

Scrub league!

Goddammit Ryan, Alexis wasn't even in the shot. Dick! XD

Stop gazing into my soul, Dave Lang.

I loved this TNT, but it made the game look way better than it actually is. I doubt it'll be even half as fun when ridiculously-awesome people aren't playing it.

I don't really care for fighting games, Persona 4 Arena being the one exception, but I'm definitely in for Dive Kick. It had me at "I don't hug white girls".

Though I must say, it's more complex than I originally thought.

Not going to lie one of the best TNTs ever not as good as 'Fortune Street' but still really good :D

I don't know, I enjoyed Patrick vs. Brad quite a bit haha

Or Taiko drums!

TNT's should just become Giant Bomb Cash Games

Oh, so salty, Keits.

I have to say, group hype surrounding weird/awesome flavour of the year titles rarely affect me much.

But this, it's got something actually good! Simplified input, which, in my gaming pride book, often translates to dumbed down, actually adds something to the gameplay.

Colour me intrigued.

@metalliccookies: But almost as good? Oh man, this is need to watch then.

@drumpsycho89: glad im not the only one can't believe a publisher is going to waste money on this

Was Dave Lang singing Freedom from Bebe's Kids?

My god Dave Lang is awesome.

I like that Redacted's win quote is just "wrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy." That's a really funny reference. I can't tell if it's a wolverine-human or a badger-human. This game continues to blow my mind the more I see of it. Great TNT for the week.

Fully support this.

I like it!

this games deserves an xbox version!

Davekick?

Dive Lang?

This game looks like it'd make an amazing party game.

Regarding the announcer getting past ESRB, has Ryan played Blazblue? Because that sounds much more racist than this, "REBER RUN, ACTSHUN"

WHERE ARE DAVE LANG'S EYEBROWS?

I was half-paying attention, but I assumed it was George Michael. I would not be surprised either way coming from him.

I can picture it now...

No gems, Kick only, The Lang Zone!!

I've seen every TNT since its inception.

It is not hyperbole when I say that this is by far the best one they've ever made. This game looks AMAZING.

I don't get the love for Dave Lang.

The goatee is looking good on Scoops. (No homo...)

So did this game have a Dive Kickstarter, or a Kick Divestarter?

This could actually be a good game if they, you know... added and combat system to it!

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but Patrick has been replaced by his evil doppelganger...

I love Dave Lang.

I was a little unsure of this game at first, but this looks like a total blast with friends for a 10 dollar or so game.

They should play this on a DDR dance pad.

Divekick that guy!

This really does look like a game you'd see on Sealab.

Never Bet On Brad

Also, if you can't tell how deep and tense and excellent Dive Kick is, then you fundamentally do not understand fighting games.

You need to get Udon to make art assets for this.

Mr. N = Jeff, right?

I'd love me some GB Dive Kick scrub league

That was my thought too.

@demazin: It's marn.

This is waaaaay more FGC in-joke than giantbomb in-joke.

DK bongos = DiveKick bongos

I love everything about this TNT.

Dave Lang is priceless!

Can see why they were loving Divekick, looks insanely fun yet simple.

"Ya best to press on before you get straight molly-whopped up in here!"

As soon as I saw Kick use this as a victory quote, my purchase was confirmed. The Fresh Prince references are hilarious.

That would be fantastic. But also might be a little too inside-joke-y. I am more than OK with that though. :p

on a scale of 1 to Filipino Champ, how salty is Marn about how he is being represented in this game?

Dave Lang is the Pete Holmes of the video game world.
