Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Joe's Seques. We got a couple of things that happened including the one situation that happened right in the palm of my hand, so let's get right in to it.
First off, an update regarding wanting a Them's Fightin' Herds character for BBTAG. In the previous post, I have announced that I am gonna be adding a Them's Fightin' Herds character to my BBTAG 3.0 Character Pack wish list in honor of Them's Fightin' Herds coming to consoles, thanks to the help of MANE6's new partners at Modus. Either Velvet or Tianhuo will be added to my wish list and the winner is determined by writing their BBTAG format moveset behind the scenes. The one with the completed moveset will be on Wave 6 of my wish list of characters for the BBTAG 3.0 Character Pack to join Annie, who is on Wave 5 of my wish list to even the waves out.
Behind the scenes, I written Velvet a moveset first, but it remained incomplete because some of her moves are tricky to be performed in BBTAG. Then I gave writing Tianhuo a moveset a go and all of her moves are written on there. So it's unanimous, guys. I am announcing that I'll be adding Tianhuo to my BBTAG 3.0 Character Pack wish list and her stage will come with her debut.
But before I write their BBTAG moveset, I want to mention that seeing Annie making her playable debut to Skullgirls has driven me to add her to my wish list of characters I want for the BBTAG 3.0 Character Pack.

- BBB
- AAAA

Here are the insights on how Annie performs in BBTAG.
- Meteor Strike and Photo Bop aren't listed due to BBTAG's four-button control scheme and the Distortion Skill department can use an input of QCF/QCB + B+C.
- Her moves are taken directly from Skullgirls.
- Gravity Slingshot is performed with P during the main character's Distortion Skill. Effective in situations when Distortion Skills are performed in mid-air.
- Resonance Blaze is used as her Star Power.
- She has her Smart Combos like other characters. All three of her Smart Combos are directly taken from Skullgirls 2nd Encore using LP, MK, MK, MP and c.HP for Smart Combo 1, MP, HP and HP for Smart Combo 2 and j.LP, j.MP, j.HP and j.HK for Smart Combo 3.
- Galactic Judgment is her Astral Heat must be implemented to 2nd Encore as her cinematic lv. 5 Blockbuster Finale.
Tianhuo:
Smart Combos:

Smart Combo 3 (Only in mid-air)

Astral Heat (Requires lv. 4 Resonance Blaze, 9 bars of your Skill Gauge and your opponent must be down to one character):
Flames of Huoshan (Only hits opponent in mid-air) (Air OK)
- ↓↓↓ + B+C
Insights on how Tianhuo performs in BBTAG is clear below.
- Since Them's Fightin' Herds has a four-button control scheme, it has all of her moves taken directly from it.
- Like other characters, she has Smart Combos.
- Each Them's Fightin' Herds character has a follow up super, so in BBTAG, Resonance Blaze is required to perform Ran Shao Feng. But it can drain Skill Gauge until Resonance Blaze wears off.
- Flames of Huoshan is her Astral Heat that is her lv. 3.
These are the movesets for these two characters from fighting games that use Otter UI and the insights on how will they perform in BBTAG. I plan to do a little showcasing on their Smart Combos to show you how will they perform well in BBTAG.
Here's the short version. Annie making her playable debut to Skullgirls and Them's Fightin' Herds coming to consoles, thanks to Modus Games have driven me to add the two characters in my BBTAG 3.0 Character Pack wish list.
And now, this brings us to the next topic. The all-new PlayStation Plus is out in North and South America. I subscribed to the Premium tier to have access to playing classic games. Again, if you're willing to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, you must subscribe to the Premium tier.
The classic catalog has a fantastic library of PS3 games. Even the original Skullgirls Encore is on there at launch, but Hidden Variable confirmed that they have no plans to release the Season 1 Pass and the update that matches with other platforms on the PS3 version. Same with the PS Vita and Xbox 360 versions. But they did confirm that they are actively developing the game as an update for the Switch and a new release for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S following the online refactors development.
My Skullgirls X BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Palette Pack is intended to have both current and future characters. It has Annie's Izayoi palette, Umbrella's Platinum the Trinity palette and Black Dahlia's Nine the Phantom palette if it didn't make it to the game. Because of this, my palette pack won't be released on the legacy platforms. This means they are likely to be left in the dust forever and that's no different than Indivisible staying unfinished forever.
But that's not the issue I'm having with. My issue is that since it's a PS3 game, it is only available through cloud streaming like others since the PS3 is the only Sony console hard to emulate because of that unique structure it bears and an internet connection is required to stream games. But it's fair. PS3 games bear a less charming environment anyway. I gave streaming games a go and it wasn't that bad. After all, streaming games doesn't use space. But you can't take screenshots and record video clips while you're streaming a game.
The PS2, PS1 and PSP games are available to both stream and download I downloaded one of the PS2 games there, which is Jak X: Combat Racing. I found it fun as Team Sonic Racing since Diddy Kong Racing. Maybe I should think about streaming both racing games I had fun with.
Not to mention that my experience with playing 2nd generation console games can be weird sometimes. Some of them have parts where the copyright screens and logos are shown in a charming way and they are more charming than with the other generations. Especially the video games based on movies by Dreamworks. I seem to have a few games based off of Dreamworks movies in my wish list. When I boot up Jak X: Combat Racing, the Dolby Surround Pro Logic II logo appears and the dramatic sound plays as the Science of Sensation and the THX logo appears. That hit me real hard that I can experience it again thanks to PS Plus Premium.
For the PS1 games, they use a polygon model. The PS1 is the only system that the Tekken franchise has started. What I like about the Tekken games on the PS1 is that they have an arcade take on the UI. The second installment of the franchise is the only one listed on the catalog.
It feels good to be reunited with my favorite PS2 games because of what charming thing I mentioned earlier. And the PS1 games because of the polygon model. Except the downloadable classics catalog is small. Thankfully, Sony has confirmed that more PS1, PS2 and PSP games will be added monthly and that's good because for years, we've been begging Sony to add more classics to PS Now, which is now retired in favor of the new PS Plus and they are. I'm not sure if they are also gonna add more PS3 games. In the meantime, I'll make a mini wish list of them taken from my main wish list, including the ones that were released by defunct video game companies.
PS1:
Gex: Enter the Gecko
Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko
Tekken 3
Batman & Robin
Bloody Roar 1 and 2
Crash Bash
Rayman Rush and M
Jersey Devil
PS2:
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
MX Superfly
Sonic Heroes
Sly Cooper 1, 2 and 3
Aggressive Inline
Frequency
Now we're down to the third and final topic that talks about... Oh my freaking god. The court has confirmed that Bill Cosby has been exposed from sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl back in 1975 at the Playboy Museum and that happened right in the palm of my hand. I can't believe that happened. First, Joey Cuellar got exposed from grooming young boys, including the accuser, who was 17 years old and now Bill Cosby got exposed for sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl? That is not good. For such a comedian, what an absolute pedophile and a pervert. Wow. Just wow. Everyone was shocked and I feel sorry about her being abused by one vile man.
As I said before, pedophiles will never be given a second chance or be forgiven under any circumstances because they are a big deal and they deserve punishment and condemnation. In fact, they are a danger to the community. As always, never target children for sexual intercourses and treat them safely with respect so that you won't be dissed on. You don't want to go all Bill Cosby and look for an underage girl to molest. That's the moral of the story to all adults.
Alright, this concludes another episode of Joe's Segues. As always, never molest children. If you're willing to feel the nostalgia, PS Plus Premium is where it at. And with Them's Fightin' Herds coming to consoles, I plan to do a little showcase on how will Annie and Tianhuo perform well on BBTAG, by showcasing their Smart Combos and their BBTAG-style combos.
