Coolest girl in FGC is? You can only choose one

I had to confirm Monique didn't actually ask me this question herself so I could answer it. It's Monique! She's a total badass and down as fuck.
Hope this is way too early in the morning for her to actually see this though

You have been cryogenically frozen until such time as the world needs your skills again. What is the first thing anyone says to you when you wake up?

"You're taller than we expected."

On a scale of awesome to mind blowingly fantastic, how would you rate LBC dwelling Colombians with purple hair?

depends on how often she showers

So, tell me why Five Guys fries are vastly superior to In N'Out's

monique why do you do this to me

You wake up tomorrow to learn that an ex of yours has written some false and very unfavorable things about you on a site devoted to griping about exes. What do you do?

Probably track down the ex and ask what's up, I guess. I have a hard time imagining this because I tend to date people who are straightforward enough to tell me what they don't like about me rather than talk shit behind my back, and I'm typically not attracted to people who would be prone to this kind of garbage.

In alpha3, you can airblock any projectyle, and even any dp (if it isn't a deep hit). While guard bar add other uses to projectyles, their damange prorates proportionaly to how long it travelled in the screen before connecting. So why you hate 3s so much but like alpha3? :<

Airblocking projectiles doesn't open up offensive options, and jumping gets you killed in A3 for different reasons (helloooo AA VCs). Also, the air tech system actually makes DPs pretty useful, and learning how to land grounded DPs is a worthwhile skill anyway.
In Street Fighter, fireballs don't really have to do damage to control space; they just have to get in the way. Damage makes them more useful, certainly, but even if ST O. Sagat's FBs did chip damage on hit they'd still be immensely useful. In 3s, they don't even get in the way.

you've committed a horrible crime in this lifetime, what lesser being would you be reincarnated as?

Was gonna suggest a cat of some sort but I'm not 100% sure they'd be a "lesser being". So I'll say a praying mantis. Looks cool, real dangerous, and the male of the species gets eaten by the female after mating.

If you could make a CVS2 style team with 3 League champions, who would you pick and with what groove?

I've been sitting on this question for a week and a half trying to figure it out. I think it's K-Groove Vi, Thresh, Kayle.

any new fgs you're thinking of picking up?

Planning on learning Xrd for sure. (I dropped off from GG after Reload.) Other than that, think my dance card is full with Marvel/SF4/League.

Reading your book right now (like page 30ish) I'm like an intermediate sf player but no where near tournament level yet. Anyways, dumb question but is footsies just being outin sweep range and sweeping them? Or is it more like dancing in your opponents and your range and whiff punishing, sweeps, etc

Not a dumb question -- "footsies" is actually kind of poorly defined in general. But it's the second one -- dancing in and out of range, timing and reading your opponent with your normals, etc.

If your kitchen could only smell like one food for the rest of your life, what smell would you prefer?

My Lola's adobo.

In Skullgirls should I play Leprechaun/Reptile(MK)/Battletoad or Hellsing Alucard/Shadow the Hedgehog/Hot Rod Cars? Same characters, different palettes combos.

I like team It's Not Easy Being Green.

Do you think we should start referring to who you play in Skullgirls by palette choice? Saying I main She-Hulk and Lucky the Leprechaun sounds way better than Ms. Fortune and Peacock.

yes

Suppose a genie offers you a bargain. You gain the ability to create the most beautiful, thought-provoking art that ever was or will be. But in exchange, you go permanently, irrevocably, completely blind. You will never know the miracle of your own art. Do you accept?

Seems like being blind would be a small price to pay for what that art could give the world, so, sure. I wouldn't know the "miracle of my own art", but I'd know the world that changed because of it.

What's with you and @geeklil?

Who?
Oh, her. We were both interns at a magazine once, a long long time ago; remained good friends. We're both nerds and journalists so we frequently find ourselves in the same place doing nerdy shit (E3, GDC, EVO etc.) together. She probably secretly pines for me but is forced to drown the sorrows of her unrequited affection in the incredibly ripped, tanned arms of her (really cool) husband.

If the Ninja Turtles played fighting games, what games and characters would each probably play?

Leonardo would play SF4, Donatello would play VF, Raphael would play Marvel, and Michaelangelo would get high and just play random poverty games from romsets.

What's the easiest fighting game to get started with?

Few different answers:
Super Turbo (with my book),
The one you want to learn how to play,
The one that has local comp to learn from and play against,
and Divekick.
Any of those are a good starting point IMO.

Why don't you just admit that the correct answer to the last question is Jay Snyder. We all know it.

Honestly the entire BT lineup is pretty dashing. I don't know how Koogy finds models that know how to play fighting games.

hottest girl you've ever met in person? hottest guy?

I don't think there's a single person I can identify as the hottest girl I've ever met, but my friend Sarah (@geeklil) is so conventionally attractive that I basically get to see how weird people are around pretty girls whenever I hang out with her and that's kind of a pain in the ass.
Hottest guy...I'll have to think about that one.

Best chips?

i feel self-conscious about this, but: SunChips. they're fuckin godlike. i don't know why i like them so much.
