Description
Modular origami is a paper craft where individual sheets of paper are folded into identical shapes and fitted together to create a larger shape.For #LeftHandedArtists’s 2012 Opposites Contest [link]
Yes, I am a member of the left-handed artists community even if the fact that I am left-handed has probably no influence on my works (or perhaps I can fold faster with my left hand
). So the theme is “opposites”. At first, I wanted to do two dragons fighting each other, but on second thought I said to myself “Do I really have to do two creatures?” (No, it’s not because I was too lazy…) As it is said in the journal “There are two sides to every coin: good and evil, day and night, law and chaos, left and right.” So I think that opposites can be reunited in one and only creature. It is the case of gender for example, we tend to oppose femininity to masculinity but we all have some attributes of masculinity and femininity despite our anatomy… Hmm, all that to say that the theme made me think of a lot of things.
I did a work some times ago that could have been submitted to this contest. My two swans of fire and ice. [link]
That is why I have decided to do another creature this time.
So here is my little dragon, you can think that one half is fire the other is ice, one is male the other is female, one is evil the other is good or you can simply think that one is made with hot colors and the other with cold colors… (that’s a prosaic interpretation but it does not really matter).

I never played that one...fighting games are awesome, but you just can't justify them without friends to play with.

Haha, I can't play Street Fighter, because I can't do the "quarter-circles". I'm way better at Tekken as I pressing the buttons at random... You're right but beating the computer is fun too. ^^

Really? The Haddoken roll is easy enough, but it took me years to reliably do Shoryuken.
Well, that IS how one plays Eddie Gordo. Most Tekken characters require an idea of what you're doing, though.
The computer gets old because you can't feel its anguish and also it cheats really badly.

I can only do a very few techniques in SF. I know almost all the techniques of Hwoarang and Yoshimitsu, in fact I can't bear the fact of losing with these characters, so "I botch myself". I'm such a bad loser that I even pick Mokujin most of the time and press the buttons at random. ><
You're right, Jinpachi and Azazel cheated badly and they are almost as bad losers as me.

Maybe you're better suited to a charge character, like Guile or Blanka. I know I'm mostly Shotoclone chars, myself, though.
Oh, Hwoarang. He took skill in Tekken 3, and then I played 5 and he was just combo-whoring Jinpachi to death. I got a perfect.
Yoshimitsu's awesome, though. And if you can use him, you can probably handle SoulCalibur, as well.
Awww, Jinpachi was the WORST, though. His stomp attack, the fastest move in the game, stunned Yoshimitsu while he was 6 feet off the ground. If his AI wasn't so random, he could literally get a perfect every time because he has that move.
Guilty Gear Accent Core was bad, too. The final boss is just a copout jacked up version of I-No with a bunch of instakill supers.

Oh, maybe, I should try play SF again. xD And, it has been a long time since I played Soulcalibur too. xD
Yes, Jinpachi was probably the worst; I hate his fireballs... He would throw a second one if you sidestep the first one. But you can't sidestep the second one if you were not already prepared to sidestep it... hmm Am I understandable? xD
Oh, I never really played Guilty Gear...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but it wasn't so much that as "the fireballs are just straight-up undodgable." They were three sidesteps wide, hit you when you were down, he could teleport in or out while doing them, and moved extremely fast. If a game's based entirely around melee combat, you probably shouldn't give anyone a projectile.
Guilty Gear seems to be dickishly hard and kind of punk themed. I don't really like it that much, especially since it's way more elaborate than a fighting game should be (block is fine, I do not care to learn to superblock), but it is kind of fun speeding around as the American ninja character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I forgot that teleporting thing...only Yoshimitsu shoud be allowed to do that. ><
I see! I should try it again too. I really loved playing fighting games when I was at high-school especially when I was angry against some of my schoolmates. xD
I'm going to bed now, haha, have a nice day!
