[Darkside Hazuki]

It actually has a listing at IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391126/)!

Eternal Champions = lose.

Thread title is pretty legit though. Using Roman Numerals makes the thread sound that much cooler.

[musha666]

Eternal Champions was the best. The only reason to own a Sega CD was for the version they had on it. Great stuff.

[Javery]

Well, last night I loaded a shitload of fighting games onto my arcade machine... I really only ever played Street Fighter II in the arcade so I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. I actually wish these games had practice modes so I could learn the moves. I've got all the Street Fighters (II and Alphas - no III), versus games (like X-Men vs. Street Fighter), Samuari Shodowns, Art of Fightings, Killer Instincts, Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior, Fatla Furys, etc... I don't even know where to start although Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the most appealing for some reason.

I'd start with Street Fighter Alpha 2 or X-men vs. Street Fighter. Alpha 2 is like SFA3 but a little simpler (and much better, IMO) and X-men vs. Street Fighter is the simplest of the Vs series (although it has a TON of high level gameplay, such as infinites/glitches etc...)

If you want some help w/ either game let me know.

[Chacrana]

I just got finished watching last week's 1up Show and a couple of the editors were going on and on about how Virtua Fighter 5 looks arcade perfect if not better... god damn... I can't wait for next March. Between VF5 and Hokuto no Ken, I'm going to have no reason to ever do school-related stuff.

[Rodimus]

New thread, consider yourself tagged.

I'm surprised in myelf. I haven't ran out to buy KOF 2K6 yet.

[Chacrana]

I forgot about buying KOF 2006 already... I'm so ridiculously on the fence though since it seems like most people here are saying that there's no depth to it at all. Not having a wealth of depth is fine, but I don't want something that's just a "meh" game to kill a couple hours with.

[gigan54]

new thread!

KOF 2006 has eaten up my time. I"m being real anal about getting all fo the alternate costumes. I've already beaten the easy, hard and extra missions, as well as passing the game with every character. all I need to do is finish time attack mode with about 9 characters and to finish up sirvival mode.

armor ralf is the cheapest thing to ever step foot in a video game. that's all I have to say about that.

edit: nice pic Gunm! that certainly surprised me.

[MarkMan]

Yay new thread.

And about VF5.

That game was arcade perfect playable at E3! (Playable in a private room but no one was allowed to talk about it) lol.

And yeah it does look so amazing in motion.

How much of an improvement is it over 4?

I never played 4 seriously, but I can definitely see myself devoting a ton of time when the fifth iteration comes out.

[MarkMan]

From what I'm hearing it's more like 3. It's suprisingly not as popular in Japanese arcades because of this. People liked VF4 Final Tuned better it seems.

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection still holds the fighting game crown in Japan based on Arcadia monthly charts.

[MadFlava]

Wow, Eternal Champions... Sega's answer to SF II on SNES. God I haven't thought of this game in years or own a copy of it myself. The characters were kind of silly.

[Rodimus]

Really?! I'm surprised VF5 hasn't knocked it out.

[kainzero]

shaq fu is really hard

[MarkMan]

T5: DR is REALLY popular in Japan. There are always crowds on the machine.

[Darkside Hazuki]

Changed the title slightly...it has a better ring to it now.

Added the attract mode movie to the OP if you're EC deprived.

And here's a casting call (http://www.defunctgames.com/projects/fakegame003.htm) for EC: The Movie!

Who said that? Game is a pretty good amount of depth, it's still broken, but not to the terrible degree that MI 1 is. KoF 2006 is an awesome game.. there's been posts in the fighting threads reflecting that from people who actually own it.

It's not like Tekken amount of depth but it's not incredibly shallow, either... in alot of ways its exactly like Project Justice minus the team aspects.

I'm guessing the same goes for Korean games as well... isn't Tekken even bigger in Korea?

[Rodimus]

I have a friend from Korea and he hates Tekken. But I'm sure it's very popular over there. And most likley the most used character is either Baek or Hwarong. Ya gotta have the one Tae Kwon Do guy in every game.

[MarkMan]

Tekken and VF are both big in Korea as well. Korea and Japan have something we don't have the luxury of... lots of arcades and 24 hour arcades. Arcades are the big reason why VF is so popular there and meh over here as far as competition goes.

In Korea though you can play arcade games for DIRT cheap.

time for me to relocate...

[halu102]

Sigh, it seems like the arcades these days are dying because of the luxury of playing someone online whilst sitting on your lazyboy. I really favor the arcade environment or at least the head to head tourny scene. Only thing I would gripe about are smelly kids. Don't get me wrong though, I love how convenient the internet has become. I like online play as much as the next guy, but how do I know the other person on the other end isn't a 10 year old boy using game genie? *shakes fist* "Damn you game genie! Damn you!"

[RelentlessRolento]

I still say the arcade scene will make a huge comback with the original feel once internet speeds don't become such an issue. Playing SFII:HF on XBLA launch really brought back the same exact feelings I got when going to the arcade... i beleive it's a taste of what's to come.

[MarkMan]

The popular characters in Korea, suprisingly aren't the Koreans... there are tons of Mishima players there... (Devil Jin/Kazuya/Heihachi)...

KOF is really big over there too. And for some reason Street Fighter II: Champion Edition... T.T

I still dream of a land where Project Justice is the most played game...

[Apossum]

24 hour arcades :drool: I would take that any day over firing up my systems in between study sessions. Playing at the arcade just clears your mind of everything :)


speaking of which, found an arcade on campus....it has Tekken 3. and DDR and that dumb Police Trainer game. and the Simpsons. what a let down.

there's another one that has DDR, pinball, and Area 51.

and I think there are some more machines in a room that's not open right now on account of water damage. from what I hear, there's another DDR machine.


prognosis: sucks ass.

The Mishimas are probably the favorites no matter were you go. But Playmore was, or still is, Korean based. So it's no surprise KOF is popular there. I wonder if they sell Kim-Chee in the arcades?

I remember in KOF 2K2 after SNK's death and Playmore started making the KOF games, Kim gets several new animations. I wonder why?

I sorta have an arcade on campus. It's got KOF XI, Melty Blood, Guilty Gear XX, Soul Calibur, MVC2, and Project Justice. Oh wait, it's my room. In an ironic twist, nobody plays fighting games here save for maybe 2 people (who are terrible.)

[RelentlessRolento]

my old college still has a huge fighting crowed that surprisingly never dies out. I swung by a week ago and some of my old freinds were playing some very seriouse KoFXI. It's nice that that's there... too bad most of the people playing (including my friends) are total assholes.

[halu102]

Yeah, my university is pretty much an antithesis to video games in general. No what the hell do they do there all the time then? Study?!

...

Oh...

Yeah, unfortunately no arcades in my neck of the woods, and no more real 2d fighter fans either. 'Tis a sad sad thing.

It just blows my mind how there's not anyone here that's even heard of anything more advanced than Soul Calibur. And everyone sucks at Guitar Hero. It's truly sad. I feel like I'm becoming a wastrel... I gotta hop on Live sometime and have Apossum kick my ass at SFII.

I can pretend I kick ass if apossum dosn't lend his foot for kicking thy ass.

[Sleepkyng]

i could probably destroy each and every one of you at SFII Turbo for Snes, but i don't gots an xbox - just a snes :D

even though you don't have an x-box, it's still very possible to test your bold claim..

[Chacrana]

Apossum makes fun of me though and I sometimes need to have my ego taken down a notch. I'm making fun of too many tone-deaf retards that try to play guitar hero over here, so I think it's probably for the best. Nothing can replace those scathing insults regarding my Kasumi addiction.

what's up with people sucking so badly at guitar hero? these kids having playing it for months, I waltz in and get used to it, then I start beating them so much that it's just not fun anymore :lol:

true. I should look in to how shit like that works here. probably meet some serious fighter fans in the process.

RR + Chacrana-- you guys are never on live anymore....but neither am I. lets get some laggy doa going!

[Chacrana]

true. I should look in to how shit like that works here. probably meet some serious fighter fans in the process.


At my school, nobody would care about something like that... they would literally go back to playing Goldeneye and Madden 2001. One kid even has an NES. I'm not making fun of poor people, but come on. This school is expensive to go to so you'd think the parents would at least mandate that these kids have some damn sense about what they bring to school.

[DomLando]

Talking about arcades I just found one located near me that's been there for a while but I never knew. Only fighter they got it MvC2 though.

[Sleepkyng]

do you have zsnes?

even though you don't have an x-box, it's still very possible to test your bold claim..

all i've got is the original snes.

zsnes is a rom right? i'd need a controller for that - no keyboards for me 8-)

[RelentlessRolento]

RR + Chacrana-- you guys are never on live anymore....but neither am I. lets get some laggy doa going!


I'm on, but usually after 3pm every weekday. we should also schedule some games for the week. I'm up for a beatdown since I still haven't found a main character in DoA4. Plus, I love commenting on how I don't understand anything I say, it helps me understand things....?

[kristianator]

all i've got is the original snes.

yeah, it's an emulator but you don't need to use the keyboard. i use a joystick when i play on it.

but yeah, i have a tv hooked up in the dining room with an snes, and the only i've kept in it for the past 6 months is street fighter 2 turbo. i don't make assumptions about people who statements like "i can kick everyone's ass in such and such fighting game" because they could be true or false, but i'm most definitely interested in playing people who find themselves to be really good.

PM if you ever decide to play online?

[Javery]

OK, long shot here but I figure that more than a few of you have home arcades running MAME to get your fighter fix.... anyway, I posted this in a separate thread but I don't think it would hurt to ask again here...

I have a Happs Vision Pro VGA/SVGA monitor (http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/491337vp2lg.htm (http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/491337vp2lg.htm)) and when I try to run certain games I get an "out of range" error message. Examples are Tapper (tapper), Popeye (popeye) and Mortal Kombat II (mk2). Is there any way to get these games playable on my monitor? Is there a setting I can input for each game that is doing this so it will run in the proper range of my monitor?

I'm going to try and walk through an example... I am running "mspacman" perfectly with no modifications or special configurations other than specifying the "-ror" command so it rotates 90 degrees. According to MAWS, mspacman runs at a resolution of 224x288 and at a frequency of 60.606060Hz. Everything works perfectly for this game.

However, when I try to run "popeye" I get an "out of range" error message on the monitor. According to MAWS, popeye runs at a resolution of 512x448 and a frequency of 60.000000Hz. How can I instruct my monitor to display this?

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. THANKS!!

can you reccomend a good gamepad for a pc?

for something like 10 years i beat sfII every morning and played my friends pretty habitually - then in college i would play my roommate 50 times a day (shit you not) so i feel pretty confident now - though i know i'm not one of those gods of 2d fighters.

i was just talkin trash :D but yeah, if i can score up a gamepad, i'd be down

cheers

here's my personal favorite... I have used about 3 of them (2 for art shows and 1 for personal use) and they work fantastic...

you can always put a PS2 arcade stick to use on the device as well.

i use something similar to this, but in the past i've used a usb controller shaped like an snes controller..

the microsoft sidewinder is a pretty decent pc controller too

it says you're from chula vista. there are a number of 3s fans in the area that are really trying to create a scene in sd. there's also a top 8 evo finisher in cvs2 who lives in rancho bernardo, and a bunch of GG heads in oceanside and mira mesa. plaza hosts some good mvc2 players as well.

and markman is the shit for promoting the hell out of tekken in the SD region.

Oh crap, I forgot to update my location, well, now I go to UCSD and am living in an apartment nearby. But Mira Mesa you say? hmmm, sounds good, I should get the exact location of any GG machines around here, but it's sure to be at least a 15 min drive, or 30 rather, I'm pretty bad at directions.

I was trying to find the guys in san diego, specifically the ones in Oceanside, but I can barely find them, and Oceanside is kinda far away -_-;. But Mira Mesa sounds promising.

I just wish they still had an arcade over at UTC, that was the shizniet back in the day.

[MarkMan]

There are a ton of 3S/CVS2 players up North. Well not a ton, but there are ppl that play. I suggest you visit shoryuken.com and post in the SD thread there. I'm sure you'll find competition.

[RelentlessRolento]

supposedly it got changed from october 2nd, to early febuary... I'm guessing it's so that more cards can be added since the original announcement was 200 cards and it has changed to 400 cards.

For 200 more cards I can wait.

[RelentlessRolento]

For 200 more cards I can wait.


totally agreed. I also am wishing but highly doubt it, but Wifi play may be a possability.

so far the Falcoon art is turing out pretty good. I like that the cards are bigger now as well. Let's just hope new gameplay elements don't ruin the game.

[kristianator]

i used to catch flicks at the chula vista mall and hit up tilt there for some mvc1, though it was just usually scrubs.. is that place still there?

[TheUnsane1]

Many a time I have lent out my neogeo pocket to allow friends to experience the greatness that is card fighter. If they mess it up for the ds I will be very upset.

[Apossum]

looks like I'm gonna be a DS owner for a little bit...getting one in a trade that I planned to sell right away, but I gotta try out Card Fighters :)

[MarkMan]

It's still there, but sadly no one plays there anymore. There's a lil MVC2 but that's about it.

Most people play at Plaza Bonita Tilt down the way now... they have:

2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 machines
Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection
Capcom vs SNK 2
Tekken Tag Tournament

Among other fighting games... all they need is 3S and ST O_O.

[opportunity777]

Does SF 3S work on XBOX360 yet?

I've been playing a ton of T5:DR the last few weeks. I had to stop though because I was getting behind in my work.

[kristianator]

are there any 3s machines in san diego? when i was down there for comic con, i couldn't find anything.

And that's the truth.

I'm amazed at how many ppl have come through San Diego! :)

There's quite a few of us lol.

But yea there are three 3S machines. One at Nickel City off Carmel Mountain Rd. off the 15 FWY. The other at SDSU. And the final one at a movie theater in Chula Vista. lol.

Well, I was born and raised in San Diego until about a year or two ago, things got too expensive, so we had to move to Arizona.

I still visit often though, to visit family and what not. :D

[Rodimus]

You know, the MUGEN "community" is really retarded at times.

http://xgargoyle.mgbr.net/



Is it just me or is it damn hypocritical to say that when they take sprites from other companies games without authorization?

I saw this post in the previous thread, I guess Guile didn't see the new thread yet. Anyways I agree, this is very hypocritical. Plus if they aren't making money off of it I see no problem. I thought MUGEN was a community were people shared sprites, BGs and ideas.

Famitsu review of Guilty Gear DS:
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers (NDS, Arc System Works): 8, 6, 6, 7 - (27/40)

Did they get a better version than us? Cause it's wasn't that good.

[halu102]

Haha, I don't think so. I also admit that GG DS was not very good at all. Maybe it's the Guilty Gear fanbase over there, I suppose.

[Rodimus]

Well since 90% of the population owns a DS, there must be a lot of multiplayer going on.

Aren't most mugen character rips copyrighted characters from SNK, Capcom, and etc.? Hmmmmmmm......

[crystalklear64]

Dunno if you guys speak about this in your thread... what about some Kaillera action with some of these games?

[Rodimus]

Aren't most mugen character rips copyrighted characters from SNK, Capcom, and etc.? Hmmmmmmm......

Exactly, that's what was so hypocritical about his request of not wanting people to host his creations he did.

However the people that actually convert characters to Mugen and edit the ripped sprites think it's not hypocritical. They seem to justify it by saying they put many hours of work in creating this character and it's considered fan art. They believe they own the code to the edited character sprite. And while I agree and belive credit is due to them, they have to realize MUGEN's base principle is to "create your own fighter by borrowing other people's work." There's always gonna be a-holes that want to steal your work and pass it as thier own, but if you're an active part of the MUGEN community people will know who you are and give you the credit you "think" you deserve. It's better to just shurg it off instead of crying about it.

[RelentlessRolento]

I got my review copy of GG Judgement for PSP today and played the beat-em-up for about 20 min today and say it's pretty fun. It definitly feels like what a GG beat-em-up should.

and yes, that Mugen guy needs to get out of high school...

I still want news on that KoF DS game...

[kainzero]

And that's the truth.

I'm amazed at how many ppl have come through San Diego! :)

There's quite a few of us lol.

But yea there are three 3S machines. One at Nickel City off Carmel Mountain Rd. off the 15 FWY. The other at SDSU. And the final one at a movie theater in Chula Vista. lol.

there's another one up north, i think. boomers in vista, but it's far.

i heard the damage was all messed up... like you can do 8 gj combos. har

[RelentlessRolento]

I still am desperatly in wait for UMK3 on XBLA... it'll give me a good exuse to finally try and be good at a 2D MK game.

A little off topic, but if anyone actually cared about the New Fist of the North Star show, Righstuf has the DVDs for $5 each (3 discs total.) Awesome deal... show's badass. And it's really angry too.

On a side note, I finished Yakuza yesterday and it really was a great game. Go git' it.

thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll order those....still need to get GITS: 2nd gig vol 6 and 7 (the end of vol 5 is rough!), as well as EVA platinum.


on topic: Rolento revealed last night that he actually is Rolento. it's not just a handle!

[halu102]

Ahhh, Fist of the North Star, I watched the old one and it was pretty badass. Heads exploding and what not. Kenshiro is the man. How does the new one fare to the old one? I heard the older one was a little better.

Oh yeah, I hope Fist of the North Star comes out for PS2 soon, it looks like an awesome game.

:lol: you're definitely not emo. I was just kidding with you. I forget what exactly it was you said.

I'm probably not dressing up...If I dressed up as a game character, I would surely end up on the butt end of a bad cosplay thread.

The old FOTNS was pretty shitty... sorta like a GI Joe with people exploding for no reason. New Fist of the North Star is awesome... though it's kinda a love it or hate it show. There's still a ton of violence, but the storyline is actually legitimate this time around. The sheer testosterone in the show is just disgusting and some of Kenshiro's lines are among the greatest ever spoken.

And the FOTNS game is scheduled to come out on the PS2 in March 2007.

On a side note, Rightstuf also had Chrono Crusade in the bargain bin. Which is great because I've been meaning to pick up that show... it's really damn good.

Actually, oddly enough, I'm already being Wario. Me and my friends are doing a Mushroom Kingdom thing and me and one of my lanky buddies decided to be Wario and Waluigi. We also have The Princess, Mario&Luigi, Bowser and Toad I think. It's sweet because the costumes are like semi-professional, because my brothers GF graduated from the Philadelphia Art Institute and is ridicilously good with fabrics.

[MarkMan]

I dressed up for Halloween last year... my friend and I were Mario and Luigi lol. This year we might go as Ghostbusters. I want me a proton pack, a real one, but those shits are expensive! haha.

[halu102]

hehe, apossum, ty. I was planning on putting the full picture in my sig, but it might be too hentai-ish for you guys.

Hehe, I never really think about dressing up for halloween. Maybe this year, maybe. Oh and cosplaying... the horror, the horror.... not that it's bad or anything, but I've seen a fair share of bad cosplaying. I would like to post some scary pics I saw, but i fear it would deviate too far OT.

Oh yeah, just watched some NFOTNS on youtube, looks tite, even tighter than the old one, but the story seems a bit bland...but then again, the FOTNS never had an in depth story, it was just badass action throughout. But yeah, damn, that game is a long ways off...

[Chacrana]

NFOTNS' story actually did end up being good though despite the premise sounding kinda bland. As for dressing up for Halloween, I've always wanted to dress up as Alucard from Hellsing... never gotten around to it though.

Oh, and PM me the whole pic please. It ain't too hentai-ish.. whatever it is. :lol:

[halu102]

Wow, Alucard, that's gonna be difficult. But I'm sure they have a big red leather coat and a wide brim leather hat around somewhere.

Man, I need more wa-tatatatatatatatata action. Unfortunately i gotta go real soon.

[Jimbo Slice]

Forgot to mention, when I was camping this weekend I stopped in the EB games near the local grocery store, and they happened to (still) have a Street Fighter Anniversary Stick. I picked it up for 30 dollars. They also had 2 T5 Collector's sets that I wanted to pick up, but when I went back they were closed. At least I got the SF stick.

So how easy is the mod? Anyone have the link? Help would be appreciated.

[halu102]

Haha, those guys are genuine. Nice mod guide. Now I need to swap out my t5 hori stick with Sanwa parts. Markman, know any decent place that sells them for a relatively lower price? I checked akihabarashop but was wondering if there are any other good sites for Sanwa stuff.

Oh yeah, here's a nice desktop wallpaper where i got my sig from as suggested by Chacrana.

[GuilewasNK]

It doesn't surprise me. Hentai/Ecchi artists are just as talented as those who do more traditional art. Ryu's Form site (IIRC) is one that comes to mind. Slightly hentai/ecchi art and traditional art at the same time.

BTW, did anyone see the new EGM yet? In the rumors section they say Capcom is working on Street Fighter IV. First time I have seen that in a mag, even if it is only a rumor.

[MarkMan]

I saw that in the last EGM(about SF4), let's keep hoping!

[Jimbo Slice]

Amen. Sf4 Ftw!!

[RelentlessRolento]

Capcom sure fucked up with almost all of its fighters ever since the Dreamcast died... seems like alot of other companies have fell into the same trap (Rare, Ed Boon, Arc Systems, SNK though they are finally making a comeback)....

[halu102]

Here's to a new SF4.

I understand that art/drawings by hentai artists can look better than official ones sometimes, I mean, they're trying to capture some kind of audience. I'm sure stick figures wouldn't sell.... well, there might be exceptions... And, haha, too many times have I used that line "looking for material to use", too many times.

Oh yeah, I got my Guilty Gear Slash today and my component cables. Unfortunately I couldn't play it just yet, my swap didn't come in yet, hopefully tomorrow. I immediately tested the cables out though with GG Isuka, [yes, I know bad choice]. But damn, Component makes a world of a difference and virtually no lag on my HDTV as opposed to 480i. I can't wait until I can actually play Slash. Now, I was wondering, what other 2d fighters can go into progressive scan? [I looked at the Wikipedia list, but it seems like that list is a bit outdated and doesn't really apply to imports]

This question is clearly directed at me.

King of Fighters XI and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum are progressive scan for sure. I know that most SNK fighters are. I can't remember if Garou was PS or not... hmm...

[halu102]

Tiiiiiiiight. I'm definitely going to get those. Do you by any chance know if Melty Blood Act Cadenza can render 480p? I've looked everywhere, but it seems like a no show.

*struggles*Need more pixels.... Melty Blood sprites.... too... blocky! .... ughhhh...

Oh and super thanks Chacrana.:)

Unfortunately, Melty Blood AC doesn't support 480p. It looks pretty blocky, but thankfully the gameplay is legendary no matter what the graphics look like.

[halu102]

I see, oh wells. yeah, the gameplay is excellent on that game. Though Im sick of playing it on my computer, lags to death for me [specs aren't strong enough]. Though I'm still feeling noob at it, it's kinda hard to do a transition from Guilty Gear to MB.

I know, I'll sit further back and the sprites would look awesome. Haha.

[GuilewasNK]

That short clip is beter than the whole SF movie with Van Damme.

My only guess to Bridget not being on the list is because he may like girls despite actually dressing and acting like one. So technically he wouldn't be gay even though he might think he is.

My head hurts.

[halu102]

What?! Bridget is a guy?! Don't tell me the Hanson Sisters are guys too, then that would just be silly.

Man, my friend likes playing all the girl characters from Guilty Gear and I've always noticed that. But when I tell him Bridget is a guy, I have a feeling I'll be seeing less of Bridget.

Haha, Zangief seems like he should be on that list because he's probably the most ridiculed on Street Fighter. I remember my friend's coined phrase whenever he would do SFAlpha 3 Zangief's spinning pile driver, "Smell it!".

But I'm sure Zangief really isn't gay either. I doubt they had that in mind when he was created, unlike other characters. Being big and buff might seem a little gay, but I think Zangief counters that sterotype by fighting bears in the wilderness and having a beard with a mohawk. Working in Miami in know a lot of guys that play for the other team. And Zangief doesn't fit the bill to me. He's not "clean-cut" enough to be gay.

Benimaru is perhaps the gayest thing ever. If you've seen his smile in his KOF XI portrait, you don't even have to question whether or not he's gay. You just know.

[gigan54]

Benimaru is perhaps the gayest thing ever. If you've seen his smile in his KOF XI portrait, you don't even have to question whether or not he's gay. You just know.

i whole heartedly disagree. Benimaru, to me, is like the ultimate ladies man. check out the capcom vs snk series. he tries to hit on every girl he faces. sure he may look like a fruit, but maybe he's just metro. I used ot feel the same way towards him, but now I have more respect for Beni.

now as for Zangief, going by his ending in Capcom fighting Jam/Evolution/ whatever, he's seen daydreaming about being in what appears to be Miami and hanging around at least 2 women and relaxing in a spa. now being a straight man, I find nothing gay about that. that's jsut my two cents on the subject.


now as for the videos MarkMan posted, i think they sf one shows lots of potential. I can't wait to see the second part of this.

Usually hold both triangle and x as the game boots. Might be different, but this is usually how it is activated. Question, once you put a game in prog scan does it save it in that mode or do you have to do it everytime?

Yes, you hold triangle and x when the game starts up. IIRC, you have to do that every time though because I don't recall seeing the option in the menus anywhere. Hopefully the PS3 will allow you to set PS2 games to always run in PS mode...

I'm using Swap Magic 3.6, also.

[gigan54]

I'm playing KoF 94 Rebout right now, it's pretty awesome, for some reason the graphics get a bit jaggy when someone gets hit but that's probably because I forgot to turn on progressive scan.

[Roufuss]

Damn, KoF 94 Rebout looks amazing in progressive scan.

This game is awesome, I'm glad I picked it up during Play Asia's sale. It's got the redone version and the Neo Geo version. The gameplay is a bit old but it's still a hell of alot of fun.

If KoF Neowave has graphics on par to this I'll pick it up when it hits $30 in November.

[RelentlessRolento]

actually the whole benimaru gay thing... I think it would help if he would let his hair down as he looks alot better like that, but it would mess up his storyline if he did so.

[depascal22]

Zangief's the manly gay man. Kind of like R. Lee Ermey's role in Saving Silverman. Here you go thinking he's playing the same character he's played since Full Metal Jacket and then you find out he's gay about two thirds of the way through the movie. On the other hand, Zangief looks no gayer than any wrestler in the WWF.

[ratzombie]

Here we go from Wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay%2C_lesbian%2C_bisexual%2C_and_transgender_char acters_in_video_and_computer_games#Gay_characters_ in_fighting_games

Many fighting games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_game) have characters who are either confirmed or suspected to be gay. Having gay male characters in these fighting games can challenge the traditional perception of homosexuals as weak sissies. Nevertheless, hints about a particular character's sexual orientation in a fighting game often take the form of effeminate or otherwise sissifed features, in an otherwise tough and stereotypically masculine character.

The Street Fighter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter) character Zangief (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zangief) has long been thought of as being gay, although this was disputed in Capcom Fighting Evolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom_Fighting_Evolution), where it was stated that he had a girlfriend (however, this may only indicate that he's bisexual, although the game isn't canon). The Street Fighter character Eagle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_%28Street_Fighter%29), who appears in the original Street Fighter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_%28video_game%29) as well as in Capcom vs. SNK 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNK_vs._series), has however been confirmed to be gay (as a tribute to Queen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%28band%29) singer Freddie Mercury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury)), although several of Eagle's quotes obviously displaying his orientation were censored in the US version of the game.

In the Guilty Gear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilty_Gear) series, the main character Sol Badguy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Badguy), who is also heavily based on Freddie Mercury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury), is often rumored to be gay; this has been neither disputed nor confirmed, but questioned with his rival Ky Kiske (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky_Kiske) who he is shown to continue to rescue despite their rival status. The character Venom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom), however, is most clearly in love with his deceased leader, Zato-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zato-1), although his feelings do not seem to have been returned.

Being succubi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus), Lilith Aensland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith_Aensland) and Morrigan Aensland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrigan_Aensland) in Capcom's Darkstalkers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkstalkers) series have been long portrayed as being rather openly bisexual.

An obscure game known as Groove on Fight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Instinct) is currently the only known fighting game featuring an openly gay couple, the somewhat stereotypical characters Rudolph Gartheimer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Gartheimer) and Damian Shade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Shade).

On a smaller note, after checking the Groove on Fight link, I had no idea Matrimelee was a part of the Power Instinct games.

*EDIT*

Also, from Wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benimaru

Benimaru is constantly being accused of being gay by the series' fans despite SNK's assurance that Benimaru is in fact, not. The way Benimaru poses and blows kisses may hint at it, but what fans cite the most is his voicing, despite him shouting his special move names with dedication, it's a winpose where Benimaru can be heard to say "Thank you." with an unmistakable lisp. This was especially apparent in early installments.

[Rodimus]

That's a great article Guile. A very educational read. Except the part about Zangief, that's bull.

BTW the Groove on Fight character "Rudolph Gartheimer" has very disturbing ending with his lover "Damian Shade." Only the strong at heart should investigate.

But look - it gives Wolf the win for the round, even though he clearly went out before Jeffrey did. THAT is the glitch.

What systems has Groove on Fight appeared on? Is it playable through MAME? I've always been interested in Power Instict/Matrimelee/Groove-On Fight but unfortunately have not played a single one of them.

It's came out for Saturn. I'm not sure if you can play it on Mame, but it did come out in Japan for arcades. BTW, nice find on those soundtracks.

after reading what Guile posted, what the hell is up with Japan's obsession with Feddy Murcury? I love the guy and his band, but jeeze...

[sarausagi]

I started playing King of Fighters 01 again...

Can anyone help me with the last boss? I have the difficulty set at 5 [MVS] and am using Vanessa, Mai, Yuri, and Athena but I just can't beat the last boss unless I lose and pick the "1/3 health gauge" option

It just irritates me that the stage before the last boss is like 100x easier than the next stage...there must be a trick or something I'm not remembering..I hate to go through the game flawlessly only to be totally raped on the last stage.

It's SNK boss syndrome, the last bosses are usually hard as shit to begin with.

I don't remember who the last boss was for KoF 2001 because I hated that game... IIRC, that was one of the ones SNK sourced out while they were recovering from bankruptcy. I'm just glad SNK came back to do 2003 on up. 2002 was ok, but Eolith really crapped on the series imo.



For a while, it was believed that Eolith (developer of KOF 2001 and 2002) held the copyright for K9999. As it turns out, this is not the case. SNK, however, has expressed public disfavor for K9999, presumably due to the explicitness of his tribute to Tetsuo. It is unlikely he will appear in the future.

It is highly likely that K9999 has been retconned out of KOF canon, as the NESTS plot summary found in KOF 94 Re-Bout completely skips over K9999.



:rofl: That was one of the stupidest characters introduced into the world of KoF.

I guess it's cool to base characters off rock groups or even popular mangas. Alot of games have done that. Can you guess who Axl from GG was based off of? You probably only need one guess.

Benimaru was based off Polneriff from JoJo's? Now that you look at it, I see an amazing simalarity.

[Chacrana]

This is completely off topic but...

On the news, everyone's talking about Foley. My problem is that every time somebody asks me "hey, you know that Foley guy?" my response is "yeah, what was his name.. uhm... Jim, jimfoley." Then I get a blank stare. Too much time in the fighting game thread I guess.

Well, as long as jimfoley's not a Florida representative, I'm okay.

Okay, carry on.

good point... now that I think about it, there's alot of spandex rock obsessions that show up in fighters... Lee from Tekken, Raxl from Fighting Vipers, and a few other characters come to mind. Plus, Megamans japanese name Rockman is tied to rock music...

I think the whole Rock Man series is based off of music; Roll (adds to Rock for Rock and Roll), Bass, Blues (Protoman), Gospel (Treble). There are a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment. :D

Haha, I'm proud and sad to say I watched that anime. It was really funny, but it made no sense at all. FUREDDIIIIII!

I finally got my swap disc running and I've been playing Melty Blood AC nonstop. I've gotten used to the sprites, they're actually not that bad. The presentation in the game is so nice. Definitely a great import fighter. It might be giving my copy of GG Slash a run for its money.

It's just like when that wrestler Mankind was really popular (at the time I was in middle school I think) and everyone was like "Is he your uncle/cousin/dad/brother etc...?" It was fucking annoying as hell. At least he wasn't a fucking child molester(sp? I don't write the word much) though.

your welcome, and I belive it was arcade only. only playable with one of those neo geo 64s. all I really know about it is that it controls very differently. you attack with the joystick and you move with the buttons.

I would still want to play it to see how it plays... though I'll need a mirror and have to stand on the game screen facing backwards in order to play properly. Still sounds awsome though... just badly executed.

Can I replace the bat style stick on the SF:AC joystick with a lollipop? My brother is modding my stick for me (he's good with that kind of stuff) as my birthday gift, and I wanna order the parts tonight (my b-day is on the 16th). Any help would be appreciated!

Most people on this site tend to gravitate towards whatever the most popular most recent RPG is.

Right now, it's Valkyrie Profile 2, but next week it will be Tales of the Abyss, and in two weeks, Final Fantasy XII, so basacially it would be serving as a kind of side thread to whatever the main RPG thread is for the flavor of the week.

Also, since RPG games are spoiler heavy, the thread would mostly be filled with spoiler tags, and plot points... it would be alot harder to follow than a fighting game thread since they (fighting games) all have a common theme, RPG's don't.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it would be well received but I can't imagine it getting a ton of replies, either that or it'll basacially turn into "Hey guys, XXXX RPG came out this week, let's talk all about it until the newest RPG hits!".

Give it a try, though... the other thing is it might also devolve into a flame war because people are more fanboyish in their love for RPG's than they are for fighting games.

Most important question Markman

If it is the Collector's version, is UMK3 a true perfect port, or at least damn close? Also, could you look at my post from before(first post on page 10) and give me some advice when you get the time?? I know you'll know the answer.

[RelentlessRolento]

[MarkMan]

jimfoley16: Yes the actual joystick can be replaced, I've seen a few SFAC sticks with either Sanwa or Seimitsu sticks. Mounting the stick inside may be a bit tricky though because the mounting holes for a HAPP stick and a Japanese stick are different. There are HAPP lollipop sticks but I wouldn't recommend them for fighting games. I'll try to do some more research for you to see if anyone actually posted pictures of the mounting process.

About MK: A. It just came in the mail today, I haven't had a chance to try it. I still have to pick it up from the head honcho. :) But for sure I'll answer any/all questions to my fellow fighting game freaks.

I do remember though at E3 when playing it, the game had some of the same broken stuff from MK: D. While I didn't test a lot of things, BRC's f+3 in weapon stance still granted a free throw and Scorpion still had his weapon f+1 into spear.

Well after realising whats comming out over the weeks, I realize I'm going to have to hold off on some titles but maybe none if I can get some trade-ins to work out well... I know I can get Godhand for about $10 through some deals, so MK may not be so big of a blow to my wallet. Factor in Lumines Live and UMK3 and that's about $25 more... after that I'll have to wait for a price drop on Killzone on PSP and Contact... I needs mys Wii money >_<

Speaking of Street Fighter comics, anyone know if they sell the Trade paperback in non-manga size? I don't want it small...

Also, again (sort-of) speaking of Street Fighter and comics, I won a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournament at my local shop tonight. I got a grab bag of promo schwag from Gamestop (a bunch of good stuff actually) and a 25 dollar gift certificate to the comic store. I used the Gift Certificate to get 2 of the Udon studios Street Fighter posters ("World Warrior" and the Sakura door poster). I also picked up the Udon studios Ryu door poster for 12 dollars. Good times!

Best part was in the finals, after the first match of the series (best out of 3), the kid put his controller down and just left. He was so pissed hahaha. I was playing Blackheart and using Sentinel's Ground Type assist. Not a particularly good trap by any means (Blackhearts jump strong kick, air dash, strong kick, land & assist, repeat) but it worked out and apparently really ticked him off. Fun times.

Unfortunately, now I have to wake up for work in 4 hours. And I still haven't freakin ordered my Happ stick/buttons yet!

Perhaps he would've been too similar to a character like Zangief? I'm not really sure, but he did make it into backgrounds in the SFA series. There was some shitty Final Fight fighting game on the Saturn (Revenge I believe) and that might've had Haggar as a playable character... but yeah, he's the one character that constantly gets omitted.

Hmm? I'd say if Haggar was in Street Fighter he'd be more like Balrog mixed with Zangief but a slightly bit faster

Charge moves like Balrog, with some throws like Zangief, but able to pull of more combos due to speed and smaller size.

What consoles is Final Fight 3 available on?

Hmm? I'd say if Haggar was in Street Fighter he'd be more like Balrog mixed with Zangief but a slightly bit faster

Haggar did make it into Saturday Night Slammasters. In Zangief's story it said his Spinning Clothesline was inspired by Haggar. They pretty much have the same style.

Also, wasn't Haggar suposed to be in that 3D Capcom All-stars game that got canceled a while ago? And thanks for reminding me about Final Fight 3. I'm gonna put that on my want list right now.

Thanks for the praise, guys. It was pretty fun.

and yeesh, I wish that I didn't have to spend 70 dollars in order to get the non-manga sized Street Fighter TPB's. I think I'll pass for now - we'll see.

jimfoley -- Congrats on the win, brother. Who did you use for the win?

Black Heart (Anti-Air), Sentinel (Ground), Cable (Anti-Air)

Do you remember who he used?

And you guys know so much about fighters, I'm the biggest newbie here. :cry:

[RelentlessRolento]

Yeah, he's pretty relentless... one might say.

unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), it's a lot more cost effective to just bring the manga sized versions over rather than do a regular sized trade nowadays. comics aren't hot sellers as it is, so everybody is doing what they can to minimize costs on niche TPB's.

Nah I don't really remember

I remember that he didn't pick Cable, Magneto or Sentinel.

Yeah man it sucks. Aren't the Manga sized ones black and white as well? ARGH! Man I really want to read the comic. Hmm....

How did he even get to the final by not using the big 3? Did he at least have Storm?

sounds like it was a local comic shop tourney.. i tried running stuff like that in the comic shop i used to work for since we had a mvc2 machine, but it was mostly just me beasting on casual and mediocre players with cammy/sentinel/commando. i think one time it was me vs some dude in the finals and he was using doom/thanos/magneto.

[depascal22]

yeah, unless it's a EVO or one of the other big tournies, you're just not going to get much competition to play against.
