Fighting Thread Turns XXI and Celebrates By Getting Wasted - Drunken Bout Never Ends!

[Chacrana]

The thread title can be changed if somebody is deeply offended. Maybe (No.)

Anyway, the waiting game continues. I can't wait for Christmas break since I'll finally be able to play against some fairly legitimate people again in games like Melty Blood. That will be very nice. In terms of actual games, my official "Must Have Right Away" list is looking like: Virtua Fighter 5, Hokuto no Ken, Samurai Shodown Collection, and Fatal Fury Collection 2.

[Apossum]

is this really the 21st one? whoa.

continued from the other thread:

Regarding Tekken 5: DR on PS3.

I definately don't think there will be endings at all. 800 MB? From 3.59 GB arcade size to 800 MB. I'm guessing that will be a nope.

Maybe they compressed it.

they did that with Small Arms and Robo Blitz on XBL.

[depascal22]

That SamSho collection is going to be HOT! I can't wait. I'll hold off on VF5 until I get a PS3 sometime in 2008. But then again, every few weeks I get an itch to play some Virtua Fighter. Maybe I'll just buy a copy of VF5 and bogart my buddy's PS3.

[RelentlessRolento]

I will make it a point to own a PS3 next year... because originally I had 2 huge wants for it... now namco made me make it 3 >_<

[sarausagi]

I'm very happy with my 360 right now but Virtua Fighter 5 is enough reason to buy myself a PS3.

I'm feeling like there's little to no future for fighting games on the next gen. All I can think of is Soul Calibur 4 and Virtua Fighter 5. I have no hopes for anything from Capcom and feel like Sony and Microsoft would never allow SNK pushing 2d games on their power house consoles...

Looks like there'll be more on handhelds and PS2 than the new consoles.

[evanft]

Got SC2 for the Xbox today. It feels way better than SC3. It's like a tighter, faster version of SC1. The Xbox controller also feels a lot like the DC pad.

[Roufuss]

I watched the first minute of that VF 5 video and wow, does Sega not have any original ideas left?

El Blaze is like a male version of La Mariposa almost EXACTLY... the dude is even black too!!!

Then there is that little kid who looks like Eliot with black hair.

I remember in VF 4 we got the two Tekken ripoff's, and now this.

Wow, Jacky almost looks like Paul Phoenix now, nice hair there.

VF is a fun series but wow, their character design, when it's not rip-off's, is completely bland.

[crystalklear64]

Needs more sprite fighters.

I agree 100%

I always say the worst thing about VF is the character design.

ps: change the thread title! UMK is a fantastic game that people don't give enough of a competitive chance. I used to think it was terrible and lame, but one of my buddies convinced me to try it and it got me hooked. <3333 UMK

I was originally not going to change the thread title, but I had my fun by taking a potshot at UMK 3 which... still isn't a good game. You also had a great Regalsin quote in your sig, so I was compelled by law to change it.

Haha it's cool you can change it back, i wasn't trying to sound like a little bitch or anything. Also fight the power.

[asianxcore]

I agree with everyone else. The character design in VF, was my least favorite part of the entire series.

I hope after Christmas, I'll be buying up a lot of the 2-D fighters that I didn't get earlier this year. I've been thinking about Melty Blood and KOF XI a lot as of late. I want to pick up GGXX Slash, but with Accent Core sometime down the line, I may hold off.

So when exactly is Tekken 6 for PS3 coming out? As much as I enjoy VF, I can't justify dropping $500-600 to play it.

Tekken 6 is why I plan to get a PS3... other than that, I don't really care. Tekken 6 to me is worth the $600 price tag. VF5 is secondary and MGS4 is a nice icing to the cake.

Does the 360 even have any more fighting games on the way at this point? Or has the PS3 stolen everything away already? Tekken 6 and VF5 are huge, but maybe there's something other than DOA I'm forgetting on the 360... (XBLA games don't count.)

It dosen't matter if the PS3 stole it away already... I'd rather have one online fighter where I can at least get some (good) compeition than 5 fighters that are only playable offline.

I don't care how good Tekken 6 or VF 5 are, when there is no one to play them against except my sucky ass friends they lose their appeal really quickly.

Not my fault developers are retarded and don't adapt their games to work online... I think if fighters went online the whole genre would be revitalized.

I dunno... I'd rather play the hell out of VF5 offline than DOA 4 online with lag and a lot of annoying people. I'm convinced that online play is overrated simply because it's wildly inconsistant.

if Microsoft ever decides to do it, backwards compat with all the xbox 2d fighters would solve 75% of the problem.

I'll never get tired of Zack's ending from DOA4.

They won't do it. Know why? Because I'm sick of that fucking Xbox being so goddamned huge. Why would Microsoft help consumers by giving them back half the living room? It'd be stupid.

[Apossum]

I want a fighter with a huge offline mode like VF4, SC and Tekken AND online play :bouncy:

Does the 360 even have any more fighting games on the way at this point?


no. sucks too, because my 360 is now a WMV player. pretty much done with DoA4, SF2 and UMK3 and I've beaten the few must-play 360 games. I need some games that I can play forever...probably won't happen till Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out.



on the topic of VF, what characters do you guys use? I use Aoi only. I used to use Kage only.

I've got Gears of War and COD 3 to go through, but my 360 has literally been a paper weight for the entire semester. Completely worthless.

For VF, I played as Akira and Liu Bei (or whatever the Shaolin Kung-Fu guy's name was.) The Shaolin guy reminded me a lot of Nightmare from Soul Calibur (my prime character for that game) because he has all those different stances... Akira is a lot more natural to play as though.

Finished gears, still play online occasionally, but FPS (or 3rd person that is similar to an FPS...) just isn't in my blood. I considered getting Splinter Cell, until I tried the demo. That game is a slideshow.

Bonus rant: I don't freaking get it...all these people are hot about HD graphics, go on and on about their extravagant 1080p set ups and all that, rave about how good the graphics are in games like SC, but then I try them out for myself and they all run at a very unstable 30fps with bad dips when you adjust the camera!


anyway, Akira, eh? I could never figure that guy out. Aoi is about as technical of a character that I can handle. I've played with her for a couple years (not intensely) and still feel like I don't know half of what's going on in VF.

[evanft]

Me too.

I want a Tekken 5 style or SC3 story mode for individual character stories, an arcade crawl/item collect mode fro, VF4:Evo, create-a-fighter with a tales of souls type mode just for that character type (Ninja, monk, etc. get different stories, with branching paths and what not, natch), and the other normal modes. I also would love to be able to use the special conditions found in the weapon master mode in SC2 in regular fights.

Plus online play, of course.

Basically, take SC2, add in the CAS from SC3, add the arcade crawl from VF4:evo (with items), add special conditions in fights, and put it online.

Aoi, Sarah, and strangely enough Akira.

Back before Aoi I used to play with Lion as well.

Looking quite forward to Eileen and El Blaze, looks like they'll be very fun characters. I just hope they get "lucha libre" right, it's a lot more about acrobatics, speed, and evasive action, with hard hits and grapples for the offense...so hopefully they won't make him the typical slow slow slow clumsy wrestler type.

[MarkMan]

I use Lion... He's not the best, but I was really inspired watching Chibita play him at EVO 2003.

[evanft]

Man, Chapter 9-2 in Weapon Master mode in SC2 is really exploitable.

[crystalklear64]

Cervantes and Ivy in SC:2 are awesome.

[Circa2113]

I'm currently playing last blade 2, real bout special, and garou: mark of the wolves on MVS. :) All three kick ass!

Hmm, all this SC2 discussion is making want to break out my copy for PS2. I still have a bunch of missions to do and weapons to buy. It's been too long since I've played some of that.

This reminds me of one of my worst fighting game memories... my birthday, 2002... I was all hyped up to play some Soul Calibur on DC with by brother and sister. I fired up the DC, but then low and behold - the save file was corrupted! I was so mad, I pretty much had all the stuff unlocked. The silver lining of this was that it was fun to unlock everything again.

Anyway we ended up playing tons of Worms World Party instead... not a bad thing at all. :D

Splinter Cell runs fine for me. And the graphics to look amazing in HD not as good as Gears though. Maybe it was just the demo that had the inconsistent frame rate. Anyway I'm happy I held off on a PS3. I was going to get one at launch and did but sold it off. The profit was to tempting. I will pick one up as soon as Tekken and Virtua Fighter come out though.

[Apossum]

Ah, I want the Hitomi one. wait...this is one of those things that sounds like a good idea now, but I'll regret later (like my old leopard skin credit card)

no. sucks too, because my 360 is now a WMV player. pretty much done with DoA4, SF2 and UMK3 and I've beaten the few must-play 360 games.

I feel lucky that I didn't overload on DOA4 when it was released. I played it a lot at first, since it was one of the few 360 games I had, but stopped shortly after. I still enjoy the single player, the online CAN be fun, but overall its filled with lag and the players that don't lag are all ranked A and higher. Most people I notice online are outside the U.S with crazy rankings.

I didn't play SF online as much as I thought I would, probably because everyone uses the same characters. I just got UMK3 last night, so I'm always up for embarassing myself if anyone is interested. I suck at MK.

Just curious, to unlock all the costumes in Time Attack (also to unlock Tengu), I have to beat the game with a full 2 rounds per character?

Also to answer the VF question.....Kage.

[RelentlessRolento]

oh yeah, never answered the VF question...

nobody... I've had the hardest time finding out who I like to play... its a toss up between Lau, Jacky, and Brad... nobody plays how I like so I am hoping El Blaze will change that for me.

I forget if you could do 1 round for costumes...gamefaqs says you need default settings for them. I unlocked most of them through story mode (which I played on VH.) I'm pretty sure you can do 1 round for Tengu, but not 100%. in other words, I'm of no help, sorry ;)

speaking of DoA, I threw in DoA4 for the first time in months yesterday and almost beat an S rank hayabusa player who had well over 50 wins in a row. I played him twice and both times I got 2 rounds (out of 3), got him down to one hit, then lost.

It was ridiculous and it really brought the feeling back to the game for me. I broke my headset with the controller on accident after losing the second time. :lol:

[Jimbo Slice]

Not a huge VF fan, can't really take it seriously (although I'm looking forward to 5).

On the off-chance that I do play it, I roll with Wolf mostly, a little Jeffrey, with a dash of Lion, Kage, Lau and Akira thrown in.

[asianxcore]

I think you are right, I may have to keep the default settings for the "Time Attack" characters. Not looking forward to doing all that nonsense with Spartan though :). I completely forgot that I can buy a lot of the costumes through "Zack's Shop" online, making the achivement a little less painful.

Nice work on almost beating that S-Rank player. What rank are you out of curiosity? I love watching high ranked players go at it on XBL (no lag of course)

I gotta add you on my XBL friends list sometime. Though I know you'd destroy me at DOA4.

actually, I'm proud of it due to me being able to minimize my collection every 3 months getting rid of stuff I know I don't need or won't touch for the rest of my life. Some things are exceptions due to how attached I am to the games.

I'd accept your friend invite, but oh joy! I'm back in school! Can't wait till I'm back.

Laaaame. Well add me up once you get back. I want to add as many of the CAG fighting thread regulars as humanly possible.

[asianxcore]

MARKMAN, when is that particular Hori stick going to be released? I already have a custom stick, but I've been in the market for a 2nd stick for people who come over to play.

Also since I've been on a DOA 4 binge as of late, I'm going to ramble a little.

Playing online is fun but really annoying. When people lose, they get all hurt and voice their opinions over their headsets. I chose not to wear mine when I played two other people, but as their rankings dropped and the losses kept ringing up, they kept making excuses. I am not amazing at this game by any means, but I am very happy that I was able to rank up to a B- this morning.

Excuses that were heard:

"He plays as the same character, that's stupid"
"He does the same thing over and over again"
"I used to be an S ranked, but I haven't played in a month (now ranked B-)"

If I find that I am good with one character at the moment, why not stick with that person. I am slowly learning how to play as both Hitomi and Helena on the offline play, but I am not confident enough yet to play as both on a consistant basis. As for doing the same thing over and over again, most if not all high ranked players would counter me to death once they figure out my patterns/combos. Keep in mind both people I played against this morning were B ranked.

Also how do you drop from a S rank to a B- rank without playing? I would think that you might be a little rusty after not playing DOA4 for a month, but if you achieved a S rank at one time, well you don't really forget how to play right?

Rant over. :)

[Apossum]

"I used to be an S ranked, but I haven't played in a month (now ranked B-)"

wait, did I play you? :lol:


I am much worse from not playing. It takes time to remember all the moves, tactics, other characters moves, traps and all that.

[asianxcore]

I do realize it's a little harder to get back into things if you haven't played in a while, but part of me just felt like it was an excuse. I agree with what you are saying about remembering tactics and so on. I hadn't played in a really long time and I was getting rusty with Christie. I was forgetting a couple of her launchers and was playing in an impatient way sometimes. Didn't take my time to confuse my opponent with staggering/slow combos.

So it is possible to to drop in rankings from not playing for a while, but during the entire time I played this one player, they didn't counter me. Is that normal?

no counters isn't that weird...I didn't use them very often in Ultimate and did very well online. As my skill went down, my counter attempts went up :lol:

but if you were mixing it up well enough then it's good that he didn't try to counter.

Saturday Night Slammasters was the shit. If you have MAME, download Slammasters 2: Ring of Fire. It never made it stateside but it's really awesome. Even better than the original!

They probably have the hardest engines to get emulated.

I could care less if they go BC at this point since I own all the fighters on PS2 and I doubt enough people play on Live to make it worthwhile to switch... plus I've got a stick and a pad for ps2.

Yeah, I'm just glad I've still got my original Xbox. That shit ain't goin anywhere.

Aaaanyway, I'm gonna be home tomorrow at 11:00 AM CST... but I gotta finish up a paper for a final (it's a joke, really) so yeah. Assuming nothing goes wrong, I'll be ready to play shit like DOA 4 tomorrow afternoon/night. Don't be afraid to interrupt my Gears of War playing (starting that tomorrow.)

It was kinda cool logging onto XBL last week since I hadn't been able to do so since August... my most recent match was like... 119 days ago.

Hey guys, wazzup. Well, after what seemed like a month hiatus, I got to play summore Guilty Gear Slash. Feels damn good pulling off combos and what not, though my timing requires much more practice. Anyways, i was wondering how the online multiplayer for Guilty Gear Reload is these days? I was remotely thinking of getting Xbox and Reload, but then doesn't seem worth it to get a box, an older version of GG, and Xbox live just to play online. But having absolutely no one to play with sucks hardcore.

Are there any new fighters coming up? specifically 2d fighters.

Sounds like BS, although I have my fingers crossed that it isn't.

[Roufuss]

I'm calling BS... SNK hates K9999 and he was retconned out of the storyline completely, last I heard.



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.





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.



No way SNK will pull a 180 and throw him back in the game.

And Metal Slug team? Cmon... no freaking way this is true. Last I heard, the MI universe was completely seperate from KoF canon, it was its own self contained world - this would be blurring everything together.

See:



The Maximum Impact series has been confirmed to be set in an alternate universe by Falcoon. This does mean that they can take liberties and bring back dead characters from the main 2D series, but these changes will not be reflected back on to the 2D series (Alba and co will not appear in the next 2D KoF for example). Falcoon has mentioned that his intentions with MI are purely to create a fun game.

No online play for VF5. VF Team and Tekken team don't want any of their fighters going online at all.

VF5 will not have any online aspects at all, not even online ranking or anything like that. But good news is, it will be based off VF5 revision B. The latest one.

can't you just use a USB adaptor with a PS2 controller? would be cheaper than a new sixaxis.

Thanks guys about the Reload online status, sounds horrible.

One question out of boredom, what peripherals do you guys use these days for fighting games? Controller/Pad, Arcade Stick, or even keyboard? And what model/brand you guys use?

I've been trying to transfer from nothing to a T5 stick when playing GGXXSlash, and I'm starting to get it down, but I still have some insecurities to get rid of. Also once tried using keyboard when all I had was Reload on the computer, I just couldn't use it at all.

I know I'll hear people call me a scrub but I'm actually more comfortable with a pad. I like to be able to move around a little when I'm playing. The only games I like to use a stick with are Tekken 5 and Virtua Fighter 4.

[MarkMan]

Nothing scrubby about a pad at all. Use whatever you can "own up" best with.

With me I prefer pad for certain characters while playing Tekken(such as Paul/Feng), and I need stick for other characters(King/Mishimas)...

At $30 - yes. In my mind it would be worth it at $50 - but alot of graphics whores would say no - because of it's simple anime inspired style.
I like that it has no meters. - As someone who has done some "real life" sparring - I can say I never noticed a glowing bar over my opponent's head that let me know how much stamina he had left.

Hell, I'd take 5.0 over DR, but that doesn't mean that I'm not licking my lips in anticipation for DR to be released on the PS3 network. It just means that I really like 5.0 for it's time, and that I don't really think DR added much except for a few rad stages. I don't like Lili or Drag, and I think they kinda ruined Armor King. He feels goofy.

I do like the new moves they gave to most characters though. DJ having the Devil Twister is the shittttt.

And I don't hate DR, I just much prefer 5.1

Hell, I'd take 5.0 over DR, but that doesn't mean that I'm not licking my lips in anticipation for DR to be released on the PS3 network. It just means that I really like 5.0 for it's time, and that I don't really think DR added much except for a few rad stages. I don't like Lili or Drag, and I think they kinda ruined Armor King. He feels goofy.

I do like the new moves they gave to most characters though. DJ having the Devil Twister is the shittttt.


bryan fury is a hard as fuck guy to get in real life... at least they did the costumes pretty good and that's the best Jin Kazama in real life i've seen i a while.

as for DR:

Lili = power whore

Dragunov = needs to be more developed

A. King = see Dragunov

it's a good start and definitly shows where Tekken 6 can go... and by then the new characters will be fully fleshed out... There almost on the same level (oddly a bit higher level) of development as the SCIII characters... SCIII characters like Tira and others seemed like they needed a bit more development before the game shipped.


oh, and this is worth a giggle:

lol that story is pretty funny

[MarkMan]

I welcome the change that is DR... after seeing too many boring/cheap matches I have finally put 5.0 to rest in my mind...

The game has TOO much crazy cheap stuff. At leastin DR it's more balanced to the point that every character has somewhat of a chance. Just my .02 though :)

SEGA ANNOUNCES VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 FOR XBOX 360

Premiere Fighting Game Franchise Makes First Appearance on Microsoft’s Next Generation Videogame Console

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (December 21, 2006) – SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that the highly anticipated arcade fighting game, Virtua Fighter™ 5, will make its way onto the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system. Virtua Fighter™ 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360™ in North America and in Europe during late summer 2007. The game will also be available for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system on February 20th, 2007 in North America and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the system’s launch in March 2007.

“Those people lucky enough to have already played Virtua Fighter™ 5 will know that it’s laid the foundations to become the clear benchmark for fighting games on all next generation consoles”, said Matt Woodley, Creative Director, SEGA Publishing Europe Ltd. “Bringing Virtua Fighter™ 5 to the Xbox 360™ offers us a platform with power to handle the astonishing visuals, the complex and varied fighting styles of all the customisable characters and will undoubtedly put Virtua Fighter™ 5 into the hands of a gaming audience craving for a highly polished and credible fighting game.”

Virtua Fighter™ 5 features beautifully detailed stages from around the world where players face off in fast-moving martial arts battles against one of 17 characters. Two lively new characters join the elite group of fighters, adding two new unique fighting styles for players to try and master. With more skill and strategy than ever before, players are also given the opportunity to learn and employ the new “Offensive Move” technique to take down their opponents from different angles, adding a new dimension to the game and something for both new and old fans to master. Virtua Fighter™ 5 also includes the ability to customise characters by selecting from four base costumes and a wide range of unlockable accessories and earnable items. As players win more tournaments they will not only earn costumes and accessories, but also prizes and in-game money that will allow them to buy items from the in-game shop.

“The Virtua Fighter™ series from SEGA has one of the most prestigious histories in video games,” said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “It’s a franchise that has grown an army of loyal fans both in arcades and on consoles worldwide, and is consistently rated extremely high by the media. Fighting game fans have been hungry for Virtua Fighter™ 5 and we can now proudly deliver this game with SEGA to Xbox 360 gamers around the world.”

Developed by the highly renowned Tokyo based development team, AM R&D Development No.2, Virtua Fighter™ 5 for the Xbox 360™ will be available across Europe and North America during late summer 2007.''


Fucking awesome. this makes it much easier to hold off on a Ps3, which is a great thing.

[Chacrana]

I'm weird in that I only want to have the best version of the games that I have... so I'm still picking up the PS3 version of Virtua Fighter 5. And it's not like this is gonna convince me to wait for a price drop.

[SilverPaw750]

Yeesh...VF5 was the one reason I was going to pick up a PS3 after it hit $300-$400 (not a MGS or FF fan)...now I'm down to pretty much zero reasons to get one...

Well, we'll see how good of a port it is.

[MarkMan]

CONFIRMED!

MarkMan bought a PS3 for DR now.

:X

hahaha.

GO 360!

[depascal22]

Excuse me while I go clean myself up. After hearing that Virtua Fighter is coming to the 360, I made a little mess.....

[asianxcore]

Great news on VF5 going 360 as well. One of the reasons why I wanted to pick up a PS3.

In other news, I finally hit 100 wins in DOA4 online. Go team.

[RelentlessRolento]

just out of odd request:

been looking for tira drawn pictures and cant seem to find too many new things... if anyone can post some good ones, even if fanart, please do. the best i've seen was of a hentai Tira... >_<

[MarkMan]

Also mentioned.

Virtua Fighter 5 for 360 will be based on revision C. No word yet on what the updated version differences are as revision C is not yet out.

Damn... so it looks like the 360 version may actually turn out better if that's the case (well, assuming the PS3 version isn't using revision C.) I really didn't see that coming.

[Apossum]

They might need to make some concessions to get it perfect. I don't know enough about any of the hardware to make an educated guess on that though.

[Chacrana]

I really hope this isn't one of those cases where it's difficult to choose a best version of the game.... like with Resident Evil 4. Unfortunately, I'm not enough of a dumbass to decide that the 360 version is better because it's on the 360 like most people on the board... so this might be kinda difficult.

[Apossum]

well, I think the team is pretty dedicated to get the game perfect as far as the fighting engine goes. On the other hand, they may slack on it since 1) nobody in Japan will buy it on the 360, so they don't really need to live up to the expectation of an arcade perfect version and 2) VF isn't heavy in the competitive scene in the U.S. and the 360 demographic isn't expecting frame-by-frame perfection either.

I hope that the differences would be in the graphics department only. or that there are no differences and that both are perfect, Revision C ports. That way it doesn't become the fodder for the system flame wars, cited by people who couldn't really care less about VF to begin with. :lol:

This is a pretty important game though. Dead or Alive has the entire Xbox 3D fighter market to its self. They need some fire under their asses so DoA5 won't be a joke.

[Chacrana]

Yeah, and if VF5 does well, maybe we'll get some more fighting games on the 360... either way, I need more reasons to turn the system on since I have very few right now. It's the only system I've ever owned where people seem to celebrate a warranty extention more than a new game.

[Roufuss]

.

I don't think it's coming out in Japan on the 360... it was only announced for the US and Europe.

Which is good, because you're right, Japan won't buy it over there on the 360 so why even waste time on them.

But you're also right in that the 360 only has DoA 4, and if VF 5 is marketed right it should do pretty damn good in sales, just by being the only new 3-D fighter in over a year for it.

what, talking about MegaMan over Xbox live isn't good enough for you? :lol:

oh yeah. I wonder how this will play out. it'll be easy to make the game good enough for the U.S. (I mean, c'mon, Mortal Kombat sells well here.) Hopefully they care enough to make it perfect :)

Do you guys really think VF5 will sell well for the 360? VF4: Evo was the best fighting game (IMO) on the PS2 and it was budget priced when it released but it didn't sell at all. It was cool that I could buy copies for $5 after GCC but that doesn't bode well for a VF on a system with one tenth of the user base. Maybe they'll put Live functionality in the US and European versions and just say screw arcade perfection. I used to be a bastard about arcade perfection but now I just want a fun game I can play with my friends.

Playstation 2 also has many many many many other choices for fighting game fans... if you pass on VF, you have Tekken, Soul Calibur, DBZ, Mortal Kombat, tons of fighting games to choose from.

360 fans have Dead or Alive 4 and....well....and.... nothing. Even casual fans who liked DoA 4 and casual fighting fans will buy VF 5 simply because it's something new after a year and a half.

The fact that so many people bought the fighters over XBLA means that there is an audience for fighting games on the system.

The 360 has 1/10 of the user base but also 1/10 of the selection PS2 did... I just have a strong feeling if MS / Sega push this the right way, VF could regain alot of its popularity in the US. It basacially has no competition whatsoever when it releases.

[MarkMan]

VF doesn't sell well over here compared to Japan and Europe.

Also to clarify, PS3 is getting version B, 360 is version C.

Nice point. I just hope they don't release some broken garbage because of that fact. Again, I don't care if it's arcade perfect but I don't want the Virtua Fighter series to go the way of the Soul Calibur series just so everyone can make a quick buck. I hope they use the six extra months to optimize the game for the 360 and make it run smoothly.

Honestly, I don't think it'll sell that well on the 360. Yeah, it's the first new fighting game in a looong time, but you have to keep in mind what an Xbox 360 owner looks for in a game. VF is slow paced, bloodless, and doesn't have guns. Therefore, it will not do that well on the 360. I just can't see the typical 360 owner caring about a game like this.

SF Later years part 3

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1732680

vega is awesome is all I'll say.

[depascal22]

I'll give VF5 as a Christmas present next year. It's what I did two years ago with Evo. I gave 3 copies to my old Air Force buddies that played VF2 with me back in the day and I gave 7 to my wife's family in Indiana. All ten people called me on Christmas day or the day after thanking me for giving them such a great game. It was even sweeter that I bought them all for $5 a pop. I've loaned Evo out three different times knowing it would never be returned and I haven't gotten a copy back. I equate it to when I let some of my white friends listen to Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" for the first time. I had to make six copies of that tape and it still got stolen at least six times. Most people don't give Virtua Fighter a chance but pop it in and hand them a controller and they'll love it more than Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, or Tekken.

right now it doesn't have any competition (fighters or otherwise) for the time it's coming out (August/September.) If they promote the shit out of it, it'll sell well initially. I don't think it'll crack a million copies or anything though.

[depascal22]

When does Halo 3 come out? As long as it's at least a month or two before that, it'll do well. If it's anywhere near it, fuggettaboutit.

[RelentlessRolento]

so there's about 4 fighters now for the 360 (not including BC)... SFII, UMK3, DOA4, and VF5... and if we are lucky: Fatal Fury Special...

[depascal22]

It's not like there's a whole hell of alot that are BC either. DOA 3 and Ultimate, Soul Calibur II, and.......

...no 2d fighters...

That would be nice but I'd only need Guilty Gear and 3rd Strike. I was never able to track down a copy of Capcom v SNK 2. I could survive without the SNK offerings. I almost feel burned that I paid full price for Neowave and Sam Sho. KOF 02 is cool but I won't get my knickers all twisted up if it's never BC.

Though people don't like the unbalanced stuff, I want SNK vs. Capcom Chaos on there and SFA would be great.

[depascal22]

I've actually never played SVC Chaos or Capcom Evolution. I've heard such bad things about them, I didn't want to risk wasting the 15 bucks.

[Chacrana]

When does Halo 3 come out? As long as it's at least a month or two before that, it'll do well. If it's anywhere near it, fuggettaboutit.

November makes the most sense. It's the month that nearly all the big games of the year come out and MS always releases their important game for the year in November... late summer would almost definitely mean August for VF5, so it won't get trampled by bigger games like Halo 3. I'm still convinced that there's not many 360 owners who'd be into the game though.

[Apossum]

I found SvC Chaos to be pretty fun. I like the weird, dark style. I guess it's broken, but it's still worth trying out. Not so much for Capcom Evolution...I rented it and got 0 enjoyment out of it.

I just don't know when I'd get the time for SvC. If I'm gonna hook up the ole Xbox, I'm probably gonna be playing Guilty Gear, KOF 02, or 3rd Strike. I wouldn't mind finding a copy of CvS2 however.

Merry holiday stuff!

I hope everyone got some good loot.

material-wise, I got some clothes and some misc crap. Tomorrow, I'm getting a wii point card and probably a BB gift certificate (which will go towards Wario Ware or Lost planet.)

but my real gift was a plane ticket to Buenos Aires, where I'm going for the next 2 weeks starting Wednesday! Woo!

[asianxcore]

Happy holidays to all my CAG fighting game brethren

My family is gone for Xmas, so I got a lot of my gifts early (from both friends and family). Nothing but good stuff. :)

Great gift Apossum! I hope you have a good time!! Also I'm jealous Chacrana, I've been wanting an Oppo for quite some time.

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: I know this may sound sad, but I aint got crap this christmas... no joke. not even one gift. I'm fine with that though since I got some cash to use on some upcoming sales and some valuable time with my family. To be totally honest, this is the weirdest Christmas I've ever had >_<

enjoy the holidays!

Also I'm jealous Chacrana, I've been wanting an Oppo for quite some time.

It's Godly. Best DVD player I've ever used. Holy shit.

Thanks man. Unfortunately, I didn't bring home my 360 since I only have a few days here. I barely have time to play Gunstar Heroes. but I get back on the 11th and will probably be back at my apartment on the 12th. hopefully we can play then.

So, I remember Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit was brought up a week or two ago... I played through that game and I loved it. I am a big fan of the series and I enjoyed the first game, VB1 as well...

For Christmas I got a copy of the JPN version of Hajime No Ippo 2: Victorious Road for the PS2... it's freakin' AWESOME. It's so much more in depth/difficult than VB1 or VB2(which is really Hajime No Ippo: All-Stars)... and the best part of it all it features some real life boxers and some boxers we all know and love. Obviously they're not named after their real personas due to licensing.... but in the game you see some big name boxers such as Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, among others.... the best part of it all, most of the boxers from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!! are in it as well!

Add the fact that there is the "Boxer's Road" career mode, and you have the most in depth boxing game/simulation ever made. I am so happy with it.

Just wanted to vouch for the awesome game, in this awesome thread.

And again, Merry Christmas!

This is where the Christmas gamin' is goin down during my freetime the rest of this week before new years:

Why's there a word processor on the screen? somebody workin over the holiday break?

[Chacrana]

What a failure of a TV. Only losers go with the XBR3

/Insane amounts of jealousy.

Anyway, that's a hell of a collection you've got there and stepping up from an XBR1 CRT to an XBR3 LCD is definitely going to be a nice improvement for... anything, really. It is the best LCD on the market IMO.

I'll probably take collection pics today... and I'll most likely post them in the collection pic thread and just link to it from here.

[MarkMan]

It looks as if Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is now available for download on the PlayStation Network in Asian territories(Japan and Hong Kong confirmed).

So looks like it will be releasing here earlier than expected!

Yay.

The bad news, no practice mode. Boo.

RR: I forgot what I was doing. Hahaha. I don't remember why I had that up.

[halu102]

Ha, I liked how talk of VB went straight to collection pics...

Anyways, these days, I've been consumed in VB2. Playing with my friends and brother has never been this much fun. I'd say VB2 is paced just right for anyone. I would also like to import VictRoad, but in the end I'd rather not. I'm satisified with VB2 and wouldn't want to spend even more money just for a simulation mode.

I should really get back into the Guilty Gear playing I said I would do, but VB2 is just too fun.

[MarkMan]

Yea, overall the engine is more balanced in VB2... but if you want a challenge try out Victorious Road... it's killer.

Anyone looking forward to Lunar Knights? The game is better than I thought it'd be.

Hey guys Merry Christmas to everyone. Sorry I hadn't posted that on actual Christmas day, but my Xmas break has been crazy between work/gifts/booze/drama. It's been both good and bad, but it is what it is, and (un)fortunately, it's over.

Anyway DR looks freaking sweet! Hopefully we get it by the end of the year. :fingers crossed:

I never tried VB or VB2. I'll try them when my ridicilously massive backlog gets trimmed down a bit.

[RelentlessRolento]

Now excuse me while I light myself on fire for not being able to get a PS3 for a while and missing out on DR in the mean time.

Downloaded DR, it looks amazing in 1080P...

YOWZAS.... had to make a Hong Kong acct. to DL it.

Could you elaborate on how to do this? I'm interested in downloading it tonight.

[MarkMan]

Note: Before doing this make sure you have a Visa or Mastercard Credit Card/Debit Card(In some cases you may need 2 cards).

1) Create a new log in on your PS3 system.(Far left of the XMB menu).

2) Sign up for the PS Network(Far right). Make a master account.

3) Fill in all information accordingly, choose Hong Kong as your country.

4) Under street address put in a random number and street name. For region just pick a random one, for example I picked Kowloon/Kowloon Bay.

5) Enter in your billing information, make sure you're accurate!

6) Once you finish setting up your account, go back to the Account Management and add funds to your wallet. What you're going to do now is add 40HKD twice. This will give you a total of 80 HKD. (Why are we doing this? Because for some reason when authorizing the credit/debit cards it will not complete the transaction when authorizing 80 or more HKD at a time;Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is 125HKD). So now that you have 80 HKD. Exit the account management and go into the PlayStation Store.

7) Choose the DL for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Once doing so it will ask you to confirm and once you do it will show that there is a remaining balance owed of 45HKD. Authorize the transaction and you should be good to go! If it does not work on the PS Store screen you will have to use another card(Edit billing information on the account management screen of the PS Network(Far right on XMB).

Have fun!

Lunar Knights did look interesting, but I know next to nothing about it. I know that the release date keeps getting pushed back for the US.
Lunar Knights is like Boktai...except well...not. :-#

The cover art is done by Hector Sevilla, artist for a great comic I like called Lullaby, so I'm hyped to pick it up. 8-)

When it comes out. :hot:


Mark, your collection is soo well organized. How do you do it!? *looks at the stacks of games lying around his place* >_>
(shelves are already occupied by anime...I better pick up more shelves. )


Tekken DR is looking HOT...but not hot enough for me to pick up a PS3. I wonder who in the Los Angeles area has it set up...hmm... *checks out TZ*

[MarkMan]

B:L sup man Happy Holidays!

Let me tell you man, it's a BITCH to put a GANG of games in ABC order... shit.

I hear you. And it's always the long named games that throw me for the loop. Should I put the Shin Megami games together or do I alphabetize them according to their individual name? Does Suikoden Tactics go before Suikoden III, IV, and V or after? Do I put all my Silent Hills together even though 2 and 4 are for Xbox and 3 is for the PS2? Life was much easier when I had five or six Saturn games and five or six PS1 games.

Yeah, I hear ya on the sorting. I'm still recovering from organizing my dvd/anime collection :-#

SoCal thread at TZ is as spammy as always [kuma]

[Chacrana]

Having your collection perfectly organized is somehow ultra-rewarding for OCD people like me. I'll have my new collection pics up tomorrow so ya'll can see what I did then.

[RelentlessRolento]

fuck... after watching a video of Tekken DR HD I am getting too pumped to play the game again...

[asianxcore]

Tekken: DR looks great on PS3.

Damn you Namco. I'm trying to hold off on buying a PS3 for a while :)

[Chacrana]

So I finally got those collection pics up:

dang... where have I been in the last month? anyways, so I just played a couple of rounds of sfa3 online today. it was the first time I'd touched the game in 2-3 months. I still haven't tried out t5:dr and feel ashamed to report it. I think it's about time I hit up the local arcade to see what the competition's like around here.

Great collection pics!! Still jealous of that Oppo. Reminds me that I need to:

A) Clean up the frikkin' wires flying out of my TV. Too much stuff hooked up to it
B) I still need to buy Melty Blood, KOF XI, NGBC and Mark of the Wolves

b00biez.

I know Namco and Konami are going to be announcing some big titles for 360 in 2007. I'm hoping there will be a fighting game or two from Namco.

I hope that KI rumor is true. I been waiting on a sequel for so long. The 360 can to the game justice in the graphics department.

:crosses fingers:

Konami: Metal Gear Solid 4

Namco: Tekken 6, Soul Calibur 4

Call me crazy, but I think those are 3 of them right there.

I hope that KI rumor turns out to be true.

KI > Banjo Kazooie

On a sidenote, I was able to find a non-Best edition copy of SVC Chaos (PS2) at my local import store for $20. I know it's not the best 2-D fighter out there, but it's enjoyable from time to time. Also picked up a Japanese copy of KOF 99' for DC, same price.

Also I noticed this store had a boxed Tekken 4 Hori Japanese arcade stick. Does anyone know how good this stick is without modding? It was $22, but I passed on it because I didn't know if it was any good.

[MarkMan]

asianxcore: The Tekken 4 is a good stick, for $22 it's a hell of a deal. I own one myself and it's a good/small Japanese style stick.

Thanks!! I'll have to go back today and see if it's still there.

Anyone know if the Japanese Saturn version of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter is the only (good) version? I really want to get the game, but I don't want to shell out money for a Japanese Saturn solely for that.

Hello from Argentina fighter thread!

Hit up an arcade last night. They had a ton of those Sega Astro-something cabinets, all chock full of counterfeit gaming goodness. There were more KOF games than anything, but they also had a deserted MvC2 machine, Tekken 3, SC1, DoA2 Millenium (had never played that version before), and one machine that had like 100 games in 1 that had all the 2-D capcom fighters. Unfortunately, nobody was playing any of them so I stuck to percussion freaks.

Tried hitting up a few game stores to find Brain Age and Phoenix Wright for the plane ride home, but they only seem to sell burnt PS1 games here :lol: maybe I'll find them when I get to downtown Buenos Aires in a few days. Everything is so cheap here, I hope the games are too!

I hope everyone has a good new year :) Tonight, the drunken bout will never end!

Yep, only good version... you don't need a Japanese Saturn, just get a 4 in 1 action replay thingy and you're set.

If you're getting X-Men vs SF, might as well also get Marvel Super Heroes vs SF too.

I wish Capcom, somehow, got the rights to port them... those games + Guardian Heroes is the only reason I keep my Saturn. They could make some kind of Marvel Collection, and include:

X-Men Children of the Atom
Marvel Super Heroes
X-Men Vs Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter

That would be AWESOME... too bad we'll never see it.

[Jimbo Slice]

IMO XvSF is much better played on MAME.

I just prefer it for the infinites and general brokeness I guess.

Is that what you are talking about?

I agree with you about all the Capcom/Marvel games in one package. I still sort of hate having to get different systems to get all the fighting games I want. Oh well, it's the nature of the beast :)

I'll probably pick up a Saturn sometime soon. I do have to keep my head on straight and buy KOF XI and Melty Blood before anything. I've put those off for far too long.

Yep, that's it... it should plug into the slot in the back of the US Saturn, it lets you play Japanese games, and it also has a 1mb and a 4mb chip to let you play the Capcom / SNK games that need it.

The PS2 is really really close to having every fighting game I care about... all it needs is Capcom's old fighters and I'd be set. It almost has every SNK fighter at this point.

Will it also allow Japanese Saturn's to play U.S games?

Since it's makeover....I <3 my PS2

Yea, I'm 99% certain it can't, I never used it backwards like that, but I don't see why it couldn't.

Plus, I was looking for some filler to bump my Play-Asia order past $60, and found this:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-71-d-49-en.html

Don't forget today is the LAST DAY to use the Play Asia holiday coupons!! I ended up grabbing:

Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves - $39.90
Darkstalkers Collection - $9.90
DoA 4 figure - $3.90 (needed to push me over $60)

My total was a little but under $60 shipped, so it's like I got a free figure. Actually, it came to $60.20, which still isn't bad at all, and I got two games I had been putting off for awhile.
