Fighting Thread XXXII - How, Exactly, Can Blood Melt?

[Chacrana]

New fighting thread since we'z over the limit.

Current fighting game of interest: Melty Blood Ver. B. Well... actually, I suppose it doesn't matter to anyone other than like... me and maybe two other people.

Sigh...

Uhm.

so here's the question: Will you play a shitty fighting game because you like the characters or something other than the actual gameplay?

[asianxcore]

To answer your question, no. I'm that picky about my fighting games. If a fighting games mechanics are shit, it's hard for me to go back and actually enjoy it a second time. Then again I sound like a total hypocrite because I actually think CFJ isn't THAT bad of a game.

Also (OT), this is a good place to mention that tomorrow (the 25th) is my birthday. Yes, I will be spending the weekend celebrating with my friends, booze, and lots of MVC2, 3S and CVS2 at Milpitas Golfland.

I love arcades that close at midnight.

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

I did play star wars: masters of tera kasi once... and only once. ;O

[Chacrana]

So it's your birthday in CST time? Then happy... sorta birthday since... you're still 24. Go git drunk.

[Mr. Beef]

I have no excuses for some of the fighting games I have played. But typically, if I don't like the mechanics, I won't be back.

[Jimbo Slice]

I also don't think that CFJ was that bad. It got a particularly bad rap because of the anticipation for it, but it seriously wasn't that bad.

It was a mediocre game that came out at a bad time.

edit: I just saw a commercial while watching Family Guy for King of Fighters 96 (via Gametap). Pretty cool but pretty strange.

[gunm]

I'll try it if the characters look cool. But yeah, if the mechanics suck, then repeat play goes out the window.

And sorry, but here's a really stupid question: will you be able to import T5DR Online from PS3 to PSP and play it on PSP?

[SmallWind]

Sengoku Basara X location test vids:

The game seems to play like HnK with samurais and also each character has an assistant that can come out kinda like KoF's striker system.

[Jimbo Slice]

And sorry, but here's a really stupid question: will you be able to import T5DR Online from PS3 to PSP and play it on PSP?

Nope, unfortunately.

[akilshohen]

Yes I do, Rumble Roses. It's not really shitty, but overly simplistic. It's mostly all the unlockables in the damn game

Power Instinct Matrimelee. I played that horrid game just because Jimmy from Rage of Dragons was a Secret Character. Groove on Fight is much better than that game, but thats not saying much either.

DEVIL KINGS LIVES!!!!!!


In truth it looks hella slow HnK is much faster and man do the characters in the videos walk funny. Of course that might be because of the screen filling weapons.

[Rodimus]

Will you play a shitty fighting game because you like the characters or something other than the actual gameplay?

Yes, one game clearly comes to mind: the Battle Arena Toshinden series. I love the characters (Kayin, Vermillion, Gaia, Sho, Rungo, etc...) and the story isn't half bad either. I never tought the gameplay was awful but it's definatly not top notch. Plus the anime was directed by Masami Obari.

I give you Eiji Shinjo, the Ryu of BAT:

And Kayin Amoh, the Ken of BAT:

[Apossum]

Blood can melt if you freeze it in an ice cube tray, then put it in a microwave.



Shitty fighters I have been into:
--Toshinden
--Heavy Nova (Genesis)
--Slaughter Sport (Genesis)
--FX Fighter (PC)
--Pray for Death (PC)


i can't think of any others right this moment. there are plenty that I played a good bit though. I'm particularly ashamed of FX Fighter-- I really played it a lot.

[asianxcore]

Thanks for the vids SmallWind. I like what I see so far.

[guido_anchovy_9]

Everything felt off when I was playing KoF EX on GBA but I still played it daily for months. I also have to admit that I enjoyed Rumble Roses XX even though I didn't fully understand that game.

As far as Sengoku Basara X, it's not what I was hoping for but a lot of what I was expecting.

[RelentlessRolento]

fighters that I love though they play like crap are under par:

Waku Waku 7
Eighrez


and that's all I can think of for now...

[JEKKI]

Yes, I will be spending the weekend celebrating with my friends, booze, and lots of MVC2, 3S and CVS2 at Milpitas Golfland.

I love arcades that close at midnight.yo it's gonna be hella empty with Evo west, even if they are like 500 miles apart.

sheeyit I wonder if ppl will be at the cade tonite, getting last minute practice in.

mine closes at 4am btw O_o summer hours

[Mr. Beef]

I remember trying out the PS2 Naruto fighting game at an anime convention, and getting humiliated by somebody. That's when I decided to try and practice the game.

If it's tough to even explain the mechanics of the game to somebody else, then it seems like they have some problems. Or I suck at explaining things.

[2poor]

I don't like to play shitty games. I don't even like to play some good games. (guilty gear)

I do love MvC2, CvS2, and SFIII:TS though.

[asianxcore]

yo it's gonna be hella empty with Evo west, even if they are like 500 miles apart.


Man, I hope not.

I'm hoping for an MVC2/CVS2 all-nighter to celebrate my birthday. Or at least part of it.

Oh well. If I head out there Saturday with my friends and it's dead, I won't stay too long.

[furyk]

If you like Melty Blood you're a straight up queer in my book! !!1

Are there some "homo-erotic" elements within Melty Blood? Haven't gotten to the Dirty Sanchez mini-game yet.

[Apossum]

it's all about a guy with a harem of women. the cast is mostly women and girls.

[Oswald9599]

it's all about a guy with a harem of women. the cast is mostly women and girls.

indeed!!

and in no way is Melty blood Homo Erotic. If anything its the exact opposite. I have noticed alot of people hating on the Blood though. The game is a damn solid fighter with a deep combo system which rewards creativity. Plus its pretty much crack for people who love tsukihime.

[furyk]

It has implied lesbian twincest. Maid lesbian twincest! Back in the original H-game, do the twins ever (potentially) get it on with knife kid?

[Oswald9599]

your mixing up Tsukihime the PC Hgame with the fighting game. The Characters and origins are the same but the storylines from the H game that include all the sexuality are not within MB. Anyway I think that Hisui and kohaku werent lesbians persay, though they didnt get with shiki, Hisui has a crush on him.

[Apossum]

All I remember from the bleach-drinkingly boring anime is Akiha drinking blood from one of the maid's tits.

[Chacrana]

Tohno Shiki rapes a bunch of people I think. I don't remember. Cause I never played it. But.. I love me some Melty Blood.

[Oswald9599]

All I remember from the bleach-drinkingly boring anime is Akiha drinking blood from one of the maid's tits.

That is correct. Supposedly magic blood that heals the trauma of being a halfling same thing happens in the H game I believe. But they dont les out.

[SmallWind]

Tohno Shiki rapes a bunch of people I think. I don't remember. Cause I never played it. But.. I love me some Melty Blood.
Yeah, Tohno Shiki was the best back when Melty Blood was still a doujin game because he had the best sweep in the game.

[Chacrana]

Damn... Play-Asia shipped the regular edition of MBAC Ver. B today, but the LE folks like me hafta wait until Friday. Oh well.

[drone8888]

I played Melty Blood down in Tokyo for about an hour back in December. It's actually a balanced game, with great characters, awesome moves, and tight gameplay.
They have some statues for sale at my local hobby shop as well.

I'd definitely buy it if it arrived on a region 1 disc.

What I was more excited about was the Hakuto No Ken fighting game. I love Fist,... and this was everything I had always imagined a game based off of the series to feel like.
I played Fist for about 3 hours, and conquered every single Japanese contender in the arcade. I was suprised, because I figured the guys that lived at the arcade were good players.
One after one, I picked them off, and finally, when it was time to go, I gave my sticks to my last losing opponent, who was confused as to why I was giving him my continuing game.

He fired up a cigarette and kept playing as me and my friend left for lunch.

I pray that Fist comes to America,.. but I fear it won't, as it's been out for quite some time here in Japan. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.

[Old Rasputin]

It was only a matter of time before rape penetrated this thread.

[gunm]

drone: I imported Hokuto no Ken for PS2. It's worth it, IMO.

Smallwind: you're really on top of it (er, in a non-gay way?)--thanks.

Basara is looking a bit Last Blade-ish with some HnK elements. I would definitely like to import this if/when it comes to PS2 or 3...

[drone8888]

Is it the newer fighting game, or the side scroller?
I think there were 3 different games made, and wasn't sure if the fighter was the arcade port, or an original fighting title for the console. Let me know, as I would buy a Japanese PS2 for that game,... although, I may end up buying the arcade machine if one comes up cheap enough.

:)

[Apossum]

Chac-- what all is in the LE? Is it just the OST and game?


and whoa, I just noticed there's a tag team mode :drool:

The newest PS2 release is the arcade fighting game. I keep being tempted but the 64.90 pricetag drives me away. Plus I have no one here to play with and from what I've read, it doesn't offer a whole lot of stuff to do in single player mode.

Yeah, there's a semi-interesting mission mode that I tried a bit of... mostly played the arcade mode for single player though. It's still a lot of fun even without people because the AI is surprisingly good at the game even on the default difficulty setting. And from what I hear, it won't come out in the US. The licensing issues alone would probably make this impossible to bring over.

[Oswald9599]

I know it comes with the OST, but I'm not sure what else.

Yup just the OST

[Rodimus]

I haven't played enough of my Hokuto No Ken. I really have no motivation to play it. It really sucks to have no one to play with :cry:

Now some real fighting news: Sega announced the US version of Virtua Fighter 5 will be released on Xbox 360 on October 30, 2007. It' gonna be a very happy Halloween

OMG That newz is like so old wow ur n00b lol banned


Anyone wanna take bets on whether Sega will release a patch or "Evolution" version of VF5 for the PS3 that has all this stuff? Maybe they'll release an even later revision...to give us incentive to buy the game for the 3rd time.

I would rather have a PS3 version-- I like the sharp look over smoothed and muddled textures...but if they could make the models a tad smoother, that would be nice. no FSAA though...

[Rodimus]

^ Really, the release date was already confirmed? I heard sometime in October but haven't seen a confirmed realease date until now. But to answer your question, what's the point in Sega doing anything with the PS2 version if VF5? Nobody bought the game when it sold brand new for $40. BTW guys, don't be surprised when I beat the crap outta all you in VF5. You will all know fear, & it's name is Rodimus Donut :evil:

Answered already, but yes it's the Sega arcade fighter:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-40-49-en-70-1s1p.html

It's steep @ $65, but you could always wait for a PA 20% off sale or use strikebang or those $5 off $50 coupons to lessen the damage (to your wallet).

And shit, PA charged me shipping for KoF Reg A. Damn, it was part of a larger order which they shipped out to me...earlier in the week! Wha? I'm wondering why they didn't just save me $2.10 and just ship the whole kitandkaboodle together. #-o

For one thing, the Japanese fans who bought PS3s just for VF are going to be pissed that there's a better version on the Gaijin 360. Sure they make their money in the arcades, but their console fanbase is all on one system right now. This makes me think they have plans for more VF on the PS3, one way or another.

More importantly, it would take less time, money, and effort to build on what's already there, making the profit margin higher. Since the PS3 fanbase will only grow and people know VF, a budget (or just cheaper) version would probably do pretty well.

[Chacrana]

If we got VF5 Evo on the PS3, I guarantee that it would sell much, much, much better than the original version... I mean, it'd be the only game at that price point and much easier to swallow for people weary of spending $60 on a fighter.

[Jimbo Slice]

What's the best against the wall combo with Armor King? I've just been doing 1,2 and then after they drop a little F+4. I figure there has gotta be something better though.

d/f+2,1,3 hits... so does f+2,1...

You can do 1,2, hop over... if they stay there do BT 3, if it hits them while getting up you can get an u+2 if the stun happens....

You can also do hop over land 1+4 for the moonsault...

like today, this dood was dudley, blocked first hit of Ken SAIII, red parried the next, and kept parrying until the last hit, when he did EX Cross Counter.

I was like O_o !!!

it's no wonder this place pulls like 50+ ppl for biweekly 3S ranbatos.

seriously tho, u guys gotta come sometime

[Logg]

So how is this, I have been seeing this chick, she comes over. We play some Bomberman, then says, you have any games fighting like Tekken. So I put in DAO 4, I tell I have played this before. She says you can't let me win, 35 times in a row I beat her. She is not mad at all and wants to play again, some other time.

So this chick kicks ass, I did not know there were chicks I could just keep beating in DOA 4.

[Chacrana]

So did you wake up like 5 minutes later?

Sounds too good to be true. Last girl I played a fighting game with eventually revealed that she was on her period or some shit because she started acting all pissy. So I swore off the combination of fighting games and bitches for the time being.

[Oswald9599]

What type of date rape drug do you use logg, I havent found the one that makes girls want to keep playing games, just the ones that makes them puke and pass out, usually mid coitus.

[Logg]

Oh know she loves it I don't know how, plus I just kept beating her ass, perfects and shit.

I haven't meet one girl that's good in a fighting game. Then again I haven't meet one girl that's good at games period.

My wife is good at certain kinds of games. I met a few who are good whom I've found "in the wild" (i.e. online), but that was a while ago. I guess I'm too old now and most girls my age have moved on from games.

I have a friend that models and is always saying she needs to learn how to play a game.
Then I have some female friends from work that come over to play Karaoke Revolution every once in a while. They bought Liquor I had XBOX. I got my ass handed to me in karaoke because one of them is from a family of musicians.

I guess I'm lucky that my girlfriend is a gamer who enjoys both VF5 and T5DR.

Yeah, I don't know alot of "geek" girls that are into games, anime and all that jazz. When I invite people over for a party most the time the girls like to play DDR, Guitar Hero or Mario Party.

EA has one more chance to give me a good fighting game. Marvel Nemesis and Def Jam Icon weren't all that hot, and to think I almost bought both.

So now you don't have any excuse not to pick that shit up, stat!

[asianxcore]

Totally unrelated to anything, I only have 1 costume left to unlock in MVC2.

This is the 2nd time I've had to do this over the years. It's rewarding but extremely annoying at the same time.

Also Tron's projectile assist makes playing cruddy low-tier characters pretty fun.

[Halo05]

I think my DC version is maxed out. I should delete the save and start over. I don't think I have the patience to get all the costumes again though. Maybe just the hordes of hidden characters.

Earning the characters was a nice bonus to the game. I love MVC2 so I don't really need an extra push to play more.

Earning the costumes as I mentioned before is always annoying.

[Rodimus]

I was flipping through some of my old comics and look what I found. Anyone remember these?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c396/Zangeif123/StreetFighterComic.jpg


- If you don't already know, these were Malibu Comics adaptation to a Street Fighter comic book. It didn't go so well, infact it was so crappy that Capcom stepped in after issue #3 and said, "This is terrible, stop making it." The series only lasted 3 issues. Apparently I'm missing issue #2, I guess my brother has it. But anyways, out of intrest & boredom I read these two comics. I must say, as a fan of both Street Fighter & comic books I applaud Capcom for stoping this before it got worse. :applause:

Here's the synopsis: Ken won the first Street Fighter Championship, however it's Ryu that Bison has his eye on, why? I don't know, maybe cause he's Japanese. Anyways Bision orders Balrog & Sagat to beat up Ken. They succeed, scalp him, then mail his scalp to Ryu with his bloody clothes. Word breaks out, everyone thinks Ken's dead (he's not) and all the other Street Fighters are outraged (Guile, Zangief, Blanka, etc.) I guess eventually they are supposed to organize and stop Bision from what ever the hell he's doing, just like the dumb SF Movie. In a shameful attempt to sell some of their other crappy comics, Malibu includes one of it's own heroes in the mix, simply named "The Ferret." E. Honda sits on his toes and wins, pretty much telling the reader "This Hero Sucks!!!" It ends with some unknown chick punching a dummy with Ryu's picture on it, signifying she hate Ryu. Who this girl is, nobody knows cause it never got past issue #3. Also Ryu & Chun Li have a thing for each other.

- One more note, they spell Chun Li = Chan Li & Blanka = Blanca. :error:

[Jimbo Slice]

Haha I have those Street Fighter comics. I remember the 3rd issue came with a poster of E. Honda vs. The Ferret

[Halo05]

Good god those look like the worst comics ever. I can't believe that Capcom hasn't hired ninjas to go out and erase all evidence of their existance.

Wha-? The comicon? ~ Envy ~ ~ ~

[JEKKI]

hay Markman do u kno if I can show up at comic con tomorrow and be able to get in?!?!

the website says membership sold out... I donno if that exactly means doors are now closed...

I really wanna go too... I was only gonna go if I went with my friend and she only called me a few minutes ago saying yes. Now I prolly can't even take her :(

[Chacrana]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3mpbx0wFks

I recognized where all the sounds and graphics from fighters were from, so that's a little sad.

[JEKKI]

hey foolz~!! let's talk about Guilty Gear!

I dont mean like "oh yeay guilty gear what a nice game, I like the story, I'm gonna buy it from play asia, blah blah blah blah"

naw mang fukk dat. Let's talk about like, u know, playing this game!!

Ranbatos start next saturday for accent core, I gotta lot to relearn!

so here's my shyt, I play Axl as my main dood (especially since I aint lpayed in years)

I jux got back from the arcade and was playin sum dood, I'd go for my typical combos and shyt only to realize they replaced Axl Bomber!

that shit goes at a downward angle instead of up!! wtf mang?!?!

apparently, there's a new bomber loop to go with it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjcJ4fvskls

apparently his old bomber is now a force break attack as I noticed by watching match vids jux now.

furthermore, I also noticed u can air dash after doing his FB, I not sure if it requires jump install or not...

but with this new move means all the theory fighter I thought of (as well as successfully tested) is now moot...

i.e. anti air launch, jump cancel, mini air combo (k,h or something like dat), new 63214S move, frc, land, 2S, SJC, H, D, 623H

shyt wont work anymore...

for non corner game, 63214S seems to be the air ender, and that's it, no more after that.

so now I am wondering how useful the blue cancel in that move now becomes...???

there's a bit more on my mind rite now... but I'ma leave it at that for now...

so..... who do u guys use?

Chacrama, u said GG is your favorite game and u're good at it, spit sum knowledge yo. I'm hungry to learn.

[MarkMan]

Yo, sorry for the late reply JEKKI... the con is completely sold out already :(

It is a CRAZY SEA OF FUCKIN PPL....

B:L... the Phoenix Wright lady will still be at Capcom's booth walking around/doing interviews etc... if you walk by at the right time you might get lucky...

No gaming room on Sunday either, we closed/packed up all our gaming equipment today :( EVO WEST finals tomorrow(Sunday!)

[Chacrana]

Mayng, I don' know shiii about Axl. All I play really is Sol, Ky, and Baiken... sometimes Faust. And I was happy with the changes that those guys got for the most part. Except for Sol's Ground Viper coz that shit used to fly up in the air so it was a lot more useful, but now that bitch ain't got no hopz. But it's still easy as heeeyyylll to bounce people into the wall and then smack dat bitch up with Sol's super so that's nice. And Ky's got an additional attack that he can do after his shoryuken-attack (whatever it's called) that hits people into the wall and if you'z quick, you can fly over there and smack dat bitch up some more. Baiken's pretty much the same tho... crouch and HS is still really powerful, though you don't get no blood in AC. Gay.

Still, I haven't played much AC, but I've had to revise a lotta my tactics. Which is too bad.

[JEKKI]

flying high into the air makes u vulnerable tho...

it's really been a long time since I played, but I remember doods would use ground viper only for rushdown tactics and to push you to the corner.

you can do like ground viper, RC, command grab into combo... I think. I dont use Sol but I'm playin theory fighter again, everything I kno about GG is too outdated... dat's why I wanna play again

Yo, sorry for the late reply JEKKI... the con is completely sold out already :(

yeay :( I wonder what I'm gonna do tomorrow now. prolly go out and eat snacks!! diamond plaza!

EDIT:

also if u havent heard, Accent Core is now the official game for Evo Worlds.

of course I aint gonna be there, but I hope to see the vids at least!!

When Tekken DR hits online if anyone wants to play send me a friend request.

[SmallWind]

for non corner game, 63214S seems to be the air ender, and that's it, no more after that.

so now I am wondering how useful the blue cancel in that move now becomes...???
Yeah 63214S for Axl is mainly an ender move, but sometimes you can use it as throwbait when you TK the move.

You can do this combo with the 63214S move:
63214S[FRC], land, 5P, 2S, SJC, j.H, j.D, 63214S
or

this combo for the corner:
63214S[FRC], land, S(c), 2S, JC, j.D, bomber, 2S, JC, bomber, rensen, tap 2

If you land the first 63214S as a counter hit you won't need to do the FRC(blue cancel).

[RelentlessRolento]

Post results MM for EVO...

Been busy the past few days with cousins in town. always nice to see family. my uncle "The Ferret" got his toes squashed by a sumo guy.

If you land the first 63214S as a counter hit you won't need to do the FRC(blue cancel).I've been noticing in all the vids I am watching now, everybody does the 5P, 2S shyt... whatever happened to 6K??

I remember one of the things about #R was they made 6K jump cancellable, but I never played #R so I never got to try it out for myself.

and what's throwbait?? like u bait them into throwing you, or you set it up so you throw them?? and it would require an FRC rite? coz if u TK the move you'd be rite above the ground allowing you to land instantly...

check it, Axl OCV... no bomber loop!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQAO_xQDBFQ

Anji OCV too!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjHZNasTg-4

1st video Anji plays similar tricks to what I used in XX sans all the new moves... 2nd vid dood plays totally different! like, I really wanna relearn Anji too, he looks dangerous!!

[asianxcore]

I wish I could get better at GG. For some reason it's not a really heavily played fighting game around my group of friends.

Celebrating a part of my birthday at the arcade on Saturday was sweet. I managed to get lucky in MVC2, beating an MSP team with my Jill/Tron/Iceman team.

haha when I took out the guys' Mags, one of my friends whispers in my ear..."Dude....you can do this...". Completely zoned everything out.

This was all in front my friends and girlfriend which made me pretty happy :)

I haven't been on XBL much since I'm just waiting for Blue Dragon to drop.

6K is used as an anti-air then gatling into 2S or after an Rashousen P cancel. It's also used for comboing after a throw but it only works on some characters.

I dont think there are many Axl players in Socal... then again I dont pay much attention to the scene at all... I see like Mays and Potemkins and Slayers and a lot of Johnnys.

and maaaaaan... eff comic con! all freakin sold out and shyt... I did this today instead:

[JEKKI]

there's a lot of good Potemkin players, he had quite a significant user base back in my orange county cgl apex days.

but yeay, when I showed up to prevo-west there was a dood playing Pot in the tourney

[Chacrana]

Huh, well that's a bit unexpected, but interesting.

I'm lookin' forward to the Evo qualifiers next year. Yeah, I realize they're a year away. But I'm guessing the competition at Evo North is pretty weak, so if it's not another retarded team tourney next year, I'd probably be able to qualify if I get my shit together...

speaking of which, are the vids for Evo North up yet?

i sure hope they weren't using the machines at nickel city....them's be broken, unless they were playing GGXX (not reload, slash, or w/e.

Evo's using Slash, but wouldn't they be playing the console versions? I thought I heard they did a team tourney coz they had to import all the copies of Slash.Evo Worlds is using Accent Core, regionals are slash.

but the reason they use teams is becoz there seems to be a definitive skill difference between japanese and US GG players.

they think if they allowed it to be a single, the results would be the japanese takeover

Merruty Brutto - Acto Cadenuzah!

MANIA!!! Uhm... so lik, there isn't a whole lot changed from Act Cadenza. The core gameplay is still pretty much the same, and that's to be expected. First, there's the addition of White Len. I think there's maybe another new character, but I don't know. Second, there's a few new stages, all of which are pretty cool. You can see one of them in the last screenshot. There's some tweaks done to the gameplay to make it more balanced... can't say what those changes are since I never really played the original that in-depth. The tag team mode is pretty damn cool though. Fits in completely naturally with MB's gameplay. The graphics still look rough... which I suppose is to be expected. Luckily, if you have a good video card, there's some stuff you can mess around with in your video card settings that'll make it look a little better. The game does run at 60FPS though and it looks really, really smooth. Smoother than the PS2 version.

So yeah, it's worth picking up if you're a hardcore MB fan or if you haven't bought any version of MB yet. I definitely like it better than the PS2 version... speaking of which, my copy's up for sale if anyone wants it.

I'm playing it on Vista. Maybe try the 1.1 patch that came out?

[hankmecrankme]

OK now it works.

I only tried it with the patch. Without the patch, it works great. I guess my Vista doesn't like the patch.

What does the 1.1 patch fix?

[Chacrana]

no idea. I know it was minor stuff though.

[Chacrana]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention -- the AI has gotten a massive upgrade. On the default difficulty, the AI's pretty vicious and dishes out some surprisingly nice combos. I was happy to see that, since before, the default difficulty gave you braindead enemies for the first half of the matches you play and then ramps the difficulty up a ton.

I love this game.

[gunm]

Rec'd NGBC today.

Also Dondonpachi DOJ and Mushihime Futari OST.

Chac's review on MB has peaked my interest for the PC version. May grab that with Arcana Heart in my next PA order...

Nice to hear. The PS2 MB is a cakewalk unless you have White Len as your final boss.

I wonder if that will be the final look or not. It seems odd they would add those two little images to the top like that. I sold off my DOA 4 stick when the prices got insane, so as long as this one works like that one did I'll pick this up. I can use the 360's D-Pad pretty well with SFIIHF but with the upcoming games like VF5 and SSFIITHD I think I'm going to be happy to have a stick again.

[asianxcore]

the two little images (whether they end up on the final version or not) make the entire stick look terrible.

I'm thinking they might delay it, unless they want to try to get it to sell with SFIIHD or something.

hmmm most of you guys may be getting your wishes:

http://arcadeheroes.com/2007/07/30/street-fighter-4-may-still-be-on-the-way/

Thanks to a tip from the Stinger Report, it appears that Capcom may be soon revealing a new Street Fighter arcade title. It is unknown if this would be Street Fighter 4 something else but at the recent Anniversary celebration for Street Fighter at a number of Capcom arcade venues, displays have appeared with copy that alludes to a new Street Fighter arcade title. Both us and The Stinger Report are going to be wary about this until anything official is announced as rumors back in 2005 turned up with nothing once Capcom began scaling back on their arcade operations (you might recall another game which seems to have been lost in limbo, War of The Grail). So please remember that is solely a rumor until we actually see a system for it. Photos courtesy of The Stinger Report via Gamewatch.


when is the JAMMA show anyway? Tekken 6 news is a strong possability :)


anyone see the gameplay videos of harvey birdman yet? Guile makes a cameo since Capcom is making it.

How long till a U.S release? :)

[RelentlessRolento]

well, here's hoping it drops this thursday.

[MarkMan]

It'll be mid August for US...

Also! The lag between US players is really picky... when I'm playing vs someone from Japan or Korea the lag is so-so... but vs a US player they MUST have a good connection or else it will be a shit fest.

I've played vs ppl that live about 5 minutes away from me and it was ALMOST perfect at times...

I won't be back til late tonight if anyone wants to play...

Thanks for the impression MarkMan

As long as the lag isn't as bad as DOA4 or 3S, I should be fine. Hopefully my internet connection won't be as selective to who it lets me play against :)

[Chacrana]

Man, the radioshack converter I'm using to play Melty Blood on my PC is a piece of shit. Sooo laggy. As in, I can't shoryuken or dash consistently. So yeah, I'm picking up the Pelican converter... thank God it's lag-free. And, of course, it's the Pelican converter for the PS3, so it'll do double duty for me.

[Apossum]

guess I'll get my Xiaoyu in shape for DR:Online :)

Anyone down for some Guilty Gear tomorrow? I'm off all day and I really want to just kick back with a couple spliffs, beers, and beatdowns.


I'll give it a try. The lag is mostly bad in the game, but sometimes it's fine. I won't be able to play until around 10pm though.

[Chacrana]

Phew, got back from Gamestop after turning down a warranty, a GameInformer subscription, and a $10 preorder on the $100 Guitar Hero 3. The guy started another sentence, but then looked at me and said "$16.15" and I paid him and left promptly. Because he was annoying me.

So I get home, thinking to myself, "Y'know, this better be an improvement, because I really hope that the PC version isn't just really strict or something gay like that." Because I can't even dash without encountering some sort of issue and that's a red flag. A really red fuckin' flag. So I take the Radioshack piece of shit and plug in the Pelican adapter which I'll be using for Tekken on the PS3 in a few short weeks. I plug in the Tekken stick. I proceed to play a match of Melty Blood. Instant improvement. As in, now, I can do absolutely everything effortlessly. So I guess that input lag is actually a far bigger issue than I originally thought, because it was crippling Melty Blood. So yeah, I was thinking of holding onto the Radioshack adapter in case I have a friend over who wants to play Melty Blood, but it's such a piece of shit that I think I'll just throw it away and get another Pelican adapter. So anyway, I'm happy. I recommend the fuck out of the Pelican adapter as it is lag free and works flawlessly on the PC.

[asianxcore]

Somewhere in that giant paragraph, I think you are saying you love the Pelican adapter Chac :)

Have you downloaded T5DR for PS3 yet or are you waiting for the online update first?

[Chacrana]

Waiting for the online patch. I know I'm going to get gang raped the second I play a match online, but... screw it.

love how this happens in every interview. the top 5 worst games of all time was the best though.

[gunm]

ha ha ha, I think now he just says stuff about Tekken for the same reason he never takes his shades off.

That aside, it's nice to know Japanese developers like 360, even narcissistic nutjobs like Itagaki. Hm, is he actually getting acne on top of his acne? Anyway, that's got to help Microsoft some (that he likes 360, not the acne--yuck). And yeah Nintendo, too. Wii is just too unstoppable a force not to at least "research".

Wonder what Project Progressive is about?

Hi Logg... do you have T5DR online? :D

[Rodimus]

Don't have a PS3, don't have Tekken DR, don't have Melty Blood. But I'm all over Itagaki news. It's kinda scary to know he has kids.

BTW, am I the only dork that doesn't have a PS3? Kinda hard for me to drop half a grand when I only want to play Tekken DR. Besides Tekken Advance, is thier any reason why Tekken has always been a Playstation exclusive?

[SmallWind]

Probably something to do with Namco's arcade hardware based on the Playstations.

best thing to do is keep an eye on craigslist... I didn't want to pay too much as well, but found it for $200 cheaper than retail and didn't have to pay tax at all, thus saving me roughly $250. I bet you can get them cheaper now as well since the price drop thingy.

[Halo05]

Someone on CAG sold me their minty fresh 20 gig for $375 a week ago. Thing didn't even look like it had ever been out of the box.

That being said, all I ever play on it at the moment is T5DR and MK2. I'm waiting for Ninja Gaiden Sigma to drop down to about $40 because I'm not going to buy it at full price again (got the Xbox one on release day).

[Azumangaman]

Ok, so basically, I love fighting games. However, I want to start being a hardcore fighter, starting off with sticks for my PS3 and 360. Also, reccomendations for some fighting games are greatly appreciated (US region only, my PS2 is broken so US is all I can get).
I have some DOA's, Tekkens, Soul Calibur's, but I want to get into stuff like Guilty Gear.
Any reccomendations for sticks/games?
EDIT: And yeah I have the SF collections for PS2, so I'm covered there

if you like GG gameplay, get melty blood. I'm not the type to like those speedy type of 2d fighters, but it seems good for ya.

Just play what you like and practice.

[Azumangaman]

Melty Blood...PC? because I couldn't get the PS2 version...
And are PC's region free? If not how can I get them to work and are there a lot of PC fighters to make it worth a (potential) investment?

[Rodimus]

Thanks for recomending Craigslist, I'll keep checking. I'd love to play you guys in some Tekken. I used to be very good back in my Tekken Tag days. I even had a chance to go to Orlando for the state championships but I declined cause it was on the same day as my senior prom. Now that I think about it I should've went, FOR ETERNAL GLORY!!! :boxing:

Any reccomendations for sticks/games?

Stick wise for the PS3 I think it's the HORI Fighting Stick 3? But the 360 your limited to only the DOA Hori stick. In a few months you can get the VF4 stick, but I asume it'll be the same exact thing, just diffrent art.

For games you gotta find a way to play import games for your PS2. It's actually easier & cheaper than most people think. Games like Hokuto no Ken, KOF XI, Melty Blood, SamSho Tenka, Neo Geo BC, etc... Most will never find their way over here.
EDIT - Also watch out for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD which will be on XBLA soon. I'm sure this entire thread will be playing.

[Azumangaman]

The only problem is that my PS2 is broken. Its a fat one, so I'm thinking I should just get a Japanese PS2 (crap, nevermind, those are almost $200 here). I'm thinking I'll just spend a load of cash to get the PS2 I have fixed to buy those games...I'm not really sure.
But right now I'll follow the reccomendation to practice the games I have.
Anybody know the best way to practice for Tekken 5, DOA4 and SF: Third Strike?

[asianxcore]

Not to be a dick but you should rule on the Xbox/X360 if you want to be a hardcore fighting fan. Most of the fighting games released for them are on other systems and run better. That is unless you want to get yourself really good at DOA.

Rodimus is right is saying that you should find a way to play imports on your PS2. Many fighters (a lot actually) do not make it over here to the states for one reason or another. Most hardcore fighting game fans I know have a way to play imports on their PS2.

Those who do not import, well it's sort of mandatory you own a PS2 (or Dreamcast depending on who you ask) for fighting games. The U.S has a pretty solid list of fighters available here in the U.S to get you started.

As for sticks, get a PS2 stick. That was later on you can use it for your PS2 and pick up the PS2/PS3 Pelican converter to work on your PS3. But if you know for a FACT you will never use your PS2 for any importing, a PS3 stick would be a good choice.

360 stick? If you can get one cheap, why not get one. Then again if you are like me, most of your fighting game collection is on other systems. Maybe 1% of my fighting game collection is on Xbox 360/Xbox

More importantly, as Rolento said PLAY WHAT YOU LIKE. I would hate to start playing fighting games simply because I want to tell people who "hardcore" I am.

EDIT: As far as practice, do you have any friends that are hardcore fighting game players? Do you have an arcade where you can find competition at. If not, there isn't too much you can practice on when playing against the computer (as it can get predictable). Just practice your bread-and-butter combos, countering, your good/bad matchups, punishing whiffs (missed moves), etc. etc. Pretty much keep it in your mind how to take advantage of a situation but also how to get out of a bad one (or make it so it doesn't sting much).

[Azumangaman]

Thanks, asianxcore, the reason I don't import is because my PS2 is broken. Not sure if I should just go with a slim PS2 or fix the one I have (which I screwed around with the front to get the swap-magic thing (which I also have, but I don't know where the DVD one is.

EDIT: Nope, all of my friends are stupid and don't play video games.

don't buy a japanese system... just do the tape thingy and buy a slim PS2. PS2 slim consoles seem roughly only slightly above a single 360/PS3 game in price, so go with that.

Seconded, those things are so easy to mod it's retarded.

[MadFlava]

I was thinking of importing the PS2 Fist of Northstar game by Arc system. Anyone recommend this game?

[MarkMan]

^^ Highly recc that game, even though it has tons of cheapness, it is also tons of fun.

[gunm]

I'd recommend HnK FoNS. It's just over-the-top fun. There's some balance problems and bugs, but they're easy to overlook if you don't take it seriously.

[Rodimus]

If you like Guilty Gear you'll enjoy Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) I'm not 100% sure if the same people made it, (I know it's Arc Systems) but the way it plays & looks it sure seems like it. The instant death moves are awsome to pull off. Unlike GG they require more skill.

[Apossum]

Hey, Senko no Ronde is awesome! That's about as much of a review as I can give after 20 minutes of playing it...

Hey, Senko no Ronde is awesome! That's about as much of a review as I can give after 20 minutes of playing it...


I thought you were going to wait for it to hit $20? the $29.99 price was enough for you?

well the devil kings game is made by arc systems as well, so that'll be good. Neato things like assist moves or whatever they are called make the game interesting (summon a hawk or army guys to help... the longer you wait to use it the stronger it gets).

[JEKKI]

if you like GG gameplay, get melty blood. I'm not the type to like those speedy type of 2d fighters, but it seems good for ya.A better suggestion,

if u like GG gameplay, then play GG.

oooooohh~~~

and do u wanna be a hardcore fighting gamer in the sense that u wanna play every fighting game out there, or u wanna get real good at the games worth playing competitively??

if it's the latter, then do not bother with getting imports becoz all the games played in US tournaments are available domestically.

if u wanna play fighters for the sake of consumption, then go ahead and learn how to import.

[asianxcore]

Hey, Senko no Ronde is awesome! That's about as much of a review as I can give after 20 minutes of playing it...

Didn't know you bought the game. Gotta get in some online matches sometime.

Are you having trouble with the end bosses in Story Mode? Maybe I suck at shmups but that shit is way hard.

[gunm]

Yeah, I have the hardest time with Senko no Ronde. I really should read up on strategies so I can figure out why the battles take me so long to play through...

And Rodimus, HnK was developed for Sega by Arc.

[Azumangaman]

I want to be hardcore (I'm not really sure why I used that word- should've used GOOD) meaning I want to buy a good arcade stick (which I guess isn't very hardcore) and I want to actually be good at fighting games.

[akilshohen]

Does anyone have pics of the new costumes for Rumble Roses DLC? I don't know any sites that have pics of the newer ones.

[Mr. Beef]

I really should be taking notes on all of this fighting game advice. Azumangaman asked before I had a chance.

[gunm]

Picked up a Pelican PS2/3 adapter today. No reason not to have one now...

[Chacrana]

Azu, you'll never be better than me at DOA 4, so stop trying. :lol: But -- the best stick you'll get on the 360 is probably the upcoming VF5 stick, so get that if you're planning to play VF online (which you should.) If you've got a PS2 or PS3 (actually, I know you have a PS3), pick up a HRAP or a Tekken stick. The Tekken stick is cheaper, but uses a stick and buttons that are slightly less awesome, though still very good (from my understanding.) With the Pelican converter, you can use the Tekken stick on your PS3 and PC as well.

As for getting good at fighters, honestly, I'd recommend playing GG until you get at least decent at it. The reason being that it's a really complex fighter and really fast paced, so if you can handle that and get good at developing your own strategies (IMO, the most important skill you need for being good at fighters in general), then you can apply that to pretty much anything since there's little else that requires you to act as fast as GG. And no, before the wolves attack me, I'm not saying that VF, Tekken, etc. are slow.

[Apossum]

I thought you were going to wait for it to hit $20? the $29.99 price was enough for you?




yeah, I traded in some of the scum of my collection and knocked it down to $14. I've been scoping out this game pretty much since it came out...couldn't hold out any longer :)

Didn't know you bought the game. Gotta get in some online matches sometime.

Are you having trouble with the end bosses in Story Mode? Maybe I suck at shmups but that shit is way hard.

Just bought it about 6 hours ago :)

I played for only a few minutes but I've noticed that some of the boss forms have seemingly impossible to dodge curtain fire. I'm going to play the hell out of this game over the weekend and try to figure out how it all works...

[RelentlessRolento]

And no, before the wolves attack me, I'm not saying that VF, Tekken, etc. are slow.lol!..... no.

Guilty gear is definitely not a complex fighter whatsoever, tho I am not saying that it is simple, but it's very accessible.

offensively you have an incredible amount of options:

*every character has high priority anti-air moves,
*every character has a safe meaty hit that doesnt leave you in dangerous recovery,
*every character has an overhead attack that launches the opponent.
*every character has a blue cancel for rush down

defensively;

*your character can perform a guard that reduces blockstun, eliminates chip damage, and pushes your opponent farther decreasing pressure
*bursting acts as a combo breaker of sorts
*a universal alpha-counter type move

so it's becoz of all this safety put into the game that you do not have to act fast at all!

GG is nothing more than a game of variety of crazy ass combos which makes it fun. damn near every aspect in the game revolves around this issue.

every time a new revision to the game comes out, the combos change.

tech recovery and counter hit properties all encourage and inhibit different combo opportunities making you pick and choose a new one for each situation, as does the guard block meter.

the only complexity really is the variety as each characters plays so differently, but once u get comfortable with that character you're set.

CVS2 and 3S are games that make you think fast, faster games like GG and MVC2 require less thinking and more raw ability to perform shyt.

finally, the only real skill necessary to kno in playing games is to understand why you are losing. period.

with youtube and all this shyt, anybody can get good at pulling shit off, but that doesnt mean you're gonna kick ass against ppl. Just play, recognize your mistakes and weaknesses, and then do something about it.

i dunno Jekki, GG appears really fast and easy to mash, but a lot of characters aren't all that intuitive. I feel like the only really intuitive character with easy combos is Jam (keep in mind I've never even tried using Sol or Ky, so I imagine they're easier to use since they're the ken and ryu of gg.)

[RelentlessRolento]

I feel like the only really intuitive character with easy combos is Jam (keep in mind I've never even tried using Sol or Ky, so I imagine they're easier to use since they're the ken and ryu of gg.)well becoz of the gattling system, all characters are intuitive, similar to the magic series in marvel games.

but in regards to Jam, she actually takes a lot more work to play as, comparable to Chipp I would say.

I can understand if you're talking about how you can cancel her kick command attacks into other ones,

but ultimately that is not how you play her effectively.

Do not judge a game on how it appears. Figure out how to play, then make a statement.

I can make a statement without being top ranked, ya know. ;) there are a lot of weird specials and supers that are difficult to use effectively. it's not all gatling combos. it is very fast paced and accessible, but there's a lot of precision involved in the game. anyone who has some experience with fighters can see that.

and granted yeay, there quite a bit of precision in the game as when I try to do shyt I'm seeing in videos, the opponent always tech escapes me, so I gotta keep on doing these moves until I figure out how to do them right.

I cant even connect an air follow up from a rensen blue cancel yet -_-, but I think I kno what I am doing wrong. Cant do bomber loop yet either, altho I think I'm almost there.

so in the end, with enough practice it begins to come more natural, and I've only been practicing for 2 days with $1 - $1.50 each day.

in XX the opponents ability to tech out was not as lenient, something that got fixed (or changed) with each new installment I guess. There was less need for precision outside of FRC and just more ability of being good with the buttons.
