CAG Fighter Thread XXXIX - Fighters Reborn 08 Ultimate Match

[hankmecrankme]

I played some VF5 and SF2HF online earlier. I had some good matches in VF5, and faced Rodimus's Zangief in SF2HF. He beat me pretty soundly, but I did beat him once with Blanka. 8-)

I'm going to build my 360 stick very soon. I'm tired of the broke ass 360 pad. I'll just have to figure out how I'm going to connect a headset to it. I could desolder the connector and run some wires to it. The stick is going to be wireless and smaller than my big monster custom, so it will fit in my lap.

GG on Street Fighter. I think you also beat me with Sagat but I was using Guile. Sorry, all I use is Zangief, hope that didn't annoy you too much.

But about Bulletwitch I picked it up at CC's clearance sale a few months ago for $8. My first time playing it was last night. It's okay, I was so bored last night I decided to give it a shot. I'm not a big fan of the genre but if you could find one for $15 I'd say go for it. It seems very short.

I didn't mind you playing as The 'Gief, because you don't cheat like the AI. It does some dirty cheating shit like if you jump in, it starts blocking before you even attack, which isn't possible, and instant SPDs from sweep range. I had some fun matches, and yeah, I beat your Guile with Sagat, but it was extremely close.

I asked you about BW because you're the only friend I have that has played it, I think. I know Play magazine liked it, but a game has to be a borderline hate crime for Play to not like it.

I'm going to build my 360 stick next week for sure. I'm about to order the parts from Lizard Lick. I'll have some pics of it, so you guys can see my ghetto construction. ;)

[simplygriff]

I'll be interested to see your progress. :)

So.. I just heard King of Fighters XII is 100% completely hand drawn and that there is zero cell shading in it.
"We knew it was going to be hard going in," says Kukino. "But we wanted to make the ultimate 2D fighting game." Up close, that meticulous attention to detail becomes apparent, and you're always noticing a flourish here or a nice touch there. Every inch of the screen has something interesting going on. "We wanted the look of the game to have more in common with manga or anime,"
Just wow is all I can say. Got this from Kotaku.

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah, that its crazy shit. reminds me of the old disney movies.

[asianxcore]

I'm just happy we are getting new sprites.

New Leona sprite in XII? Excitement

[heavyd853]

God, KOF XII sounds better and better every day. Now just give me a screenshot of K' and let me flip out for a while.

[Chacrana]

So does anyone know if XII's gameplay is supposed to be much different from XI's?

[heavyd853]

It seemed slower in the trailer, but it's probably far too early to say anything concrete about it.

[Rodimus]

The trailer did look very 2D. I couldn't sense any 3Dish animation going on. Awsome

[RelentlessRolento]

I better see ralf in KoFXII... fuck yeah!

[Chacrana]

Man, I can't even imagine how awesome KOF XII would be online. Seriously... who wouldn't want to play that like all damn day.

[heavyd853]

A person with no hands, but even that's stretching it.

[Chacrana]

A person with no hands, but even that's stretching it.

You ever seen people with no hands using a stick to type on a keyboard? Well, they actually do that.

And they will do that to play KOF XII. MAXIMAL AUDIENCE.

[Mr. Beef]

I'm still mad that they phased out Joe. Although, after seeing the trailer...I think I'll end my complaining.

[Apossum]

Love the way it looks, but I've never been hooked to KoF. Will this be the one? Will Apossum finally fall in love with SNK? probably not.

[Jimbo Slice]

KoF XII is gonna be tits, but my hype wagon still goes to Street Fighter because well... it's Street Fighter 4. I really hope it stops looking like a reskinned SF2 though.

Also, I just finished watching King of Kong. That movie was badass. Ever go to a Rickey's, Rodimus?

[depascal22]

Evening bitches. Got Street Fighter Anniversary Collection from Goozex and it reminded me how great fighting games are.......Disgaea nearly had me sucked in forever.

[RelentlessRolento]

are there any good NES fighters? I hear of a robot fighting game with the word "joy" in it?

[MarkMan]

TMNT Tournament Fighters

[Mr. Beef]

I remember TMNT:TF being kinda fun on the SNES, but I didn't really hear anything about it for the NES. I can only assume that there were no really "positive" responses, though.

[RelentlessRolento]

tournament fightes was so good. I remember my friends and I sinking too man hours into that thing.

[BustaUppa]

[Mr. Beef]

Ah, good ol' Street Blaster. I love me some Guile and his Sonic Bangs.

[SL4IN]

I don't know of any straight fighters on the NES. And from what I remember about TMNT tournament fighters, is that it was terrible.

[asianxcore]

TMNT Tournament Fighters

I wasn't into the NES version of that game, but the SNES one....that's another story.

Recently I almost dropped the dough on a SNES so that I could play TMNT and Ranma 1/2 again :)

[Mr. Beef]

Aska = butt = win.

[SL4IN]

I wasn't into the NES version of that game, but the SNES one....that's another story.

I did that a few weeks ago (to get TMNT IV and Megaman X) and I haven't regretted it. Though, I got the games for pretty cheap and the SNES was paid for in store credit. I'm still hunting down a copy of SFA2 on the system though.

[SL4IN]

Srsly? Man I want it pretty badly. Alpha is my favorite SF series.

Ah well. I have Alpha 3 on psp, which is what I play most on the thing and it'll hold me over.

[hankmecrankme]

I ordered the parts for my 360 stick from Lizard Lick. I even got a friendly email in which Chad, owner of Lizard Lick, refunded $2.30 because the shipping was cheaper than estimated. That has earned some repeat business from me in the future. It may be only $2.30, but most businesses would pocket the difference. Thumbs up.

Hardcore Tekken fans all over the USA are all wondering one thing, WHEN. When will Tekken 6 be playable for us? While Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Great Britain, Hong Kong, China and other countries are all enjoying the latest installment of our favorite series… Tekken supporters in the United States(Except Houston, TX) are crying inside for a chance to finally play Tekken 6. For the full story on Tekken 6 coming to the US, click below…

Why Houston?

[SmallWind]

To prep up for the 2008 Showdown Championships thats gonna be held soon.

[hankmecrankme]

Thanks for the article, MarkMan. I want to play Tekken 6 so bad. I'll just have to be patient and wait. . .

[SL4IN]

Hmm... interesting that there's a Tekken 6 Arcade machine in Houston, which is only about a 30-40 minute drive for me. Spring Break trip to houston next week!

Third EVO title announced...

www.sdtekken.com
www.evo2k.com

So far we have...

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Another game being announced tomorrow at 12 noon.

Only six games total this year.

I think the remaining three will be:

Super Turbo HD
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Mr. Beef]

If Brawl is going to be at Evo, then I might finally have chance at playing at Evo. Which is saddening, since I'm such poop at all the other games there. Although I have a feeling that I could get....somewhat good at 3rd Strike if I buckled down.

[hankmecrankme]

I'm hoping for War Gods, Dual Heroes, and Fight For Life for EVO 2008. ;)

The only game I'd even have a slim chance at for EVO is VF5, maybe Tekken if I played it like a madman.

[heavyd853]

November at the earliest for Tekken? Ouch.

[asianxcore]

Wow *possibly* no CVS2 for EVO 2K8?

I can understand that the games take a little longer because of the format of the game. Dang, I'm always a fan of (any) CVS2 play, including high-level matches.

[Mr. Beef]

I heard that they were phasing out CvS2 for Evo, but I still refuse to believe it.

Speaking of Super Turbo HD, what happened to that game? vaporware lol?

That's retarded. CvS2 belongs at EVO.

[RelentlessRolento]

I would love to be at EVO this year, but I don't have people to practice on...

[Jimbo Slice]

Super Turbo HD gonna be done by the time Evo happens?

[RelentlessRolento]

A large blame on why HD is taking so damn long to finish is because of MS's XBLA size limits... ghey.

[Jimbo Slice]

Yeah it is. Seriously like everyone that owns a 360 these days has a hard drive, it's so lame to limit us because a very small portion of people that probably wouldn't buy the game anyway.

[RelentlessRolento]

Agreed on the stupidity...

My guess is that the PSN version will be less gimped while the 360 version has the better online features... much like Bionic Commando Rearmed.

oh, and for those with TekkenDR on PS3:

This. and exactly how gimped of a version will 360 owners get?

[RelentlessRolento]

Most likely the graphical detail will be a bit worse and/or missing assets (background animation mainly) in the 360 version while PS3 version has it all.

:D

[SL4IN]

well, turns out I'm taking a trip to houston on monday to play some Tekken 6 at planet zero. excited.

[SL4IN]

hm. I just noticed this after some extensive playing, but why in SFA 3 does Sagat's tiger uppercut chain as a 4/5 hit combo, but in SVC2, it only accounts as 1 hit?

[MarkMan]

Different games have different properties. :)

[Mr. Beef]

They made another SNK vs. Capcom? I thought SvC Chaos was the only one?

[SL4IN]

Different games have different properties. :)

Then I guess it's just me being niave and thinking since they're both done by capcom, they'll have the same combo/chain properties. :D

EDIT: Mr. Beef, there's 3 SNK vs Capcom's.

[MarkMan]

There's 1 SVC and 2 CVS games :)

Capcom made CVS1/2 and SVC was handled by SNK.

[Mr. Beef]

MM got what I was saying. CvS2 had $$$at and his multi-hit Tiger Uppercut. I didn't know that SvC only gave it one hit.

[SL4IN]

oh well then I'm completely messed up. I meant, the difference between the tiger uppercut in CVS2 and SFA3.

my mistake XD

[Mr. Beef]

How is T. Hawk in SFA3? I assume he has to be better than he is in Super Turbo, mirite? Seeing as I'm part native-american, I have to know. ;)

[SL4IN]

How is T. Hawk in SFA3? I assume he has to be better than he is in Super Turbo, mirite? Seeing as I'm part native-american, I have to know. ;)

He's good, but I really like SFA 3 for how the combo mechanics work, they just feel different than other street fighters, but the Alpha series is also my favorite SF series.

He plays similar to Zangief, but with more finess/agility with his moves. and not grapple heavy at all compared to zangief. His supre moves however...... are almost exactly like zangief's with the whole 360 turn on the d-pad with a combination of 1 or 2 buttons.

I play T. Hawk well (atleast I think so) but Sagat is really my meat and potatoes.

[Mr. Beef]

Good to know.

[apokalipze2]

That's retarded. CvS2 belongs at EVO.I'd disagree. the game is pretty boring-no one ever picks any character beyond blanka, sagat. it takes too long to run at evo and I'm sure the staff at srk would love to boot the game. I personally would like to see sf4 replace it but seeing as the game constantly receives the most entrants, second only to 3rd strike, I highly doubt that's going to happen

[Mr. Beef]

I dunno...at this point, it would take CvS2 being announced at EVO to make me start training in it again. Which is sad, because I was finally starting to get good with Joe. :cry:

[BustaUppa]

MM got what I was saying. CvS2 had $$$at and his multi-hit Tiger Uppercut. I didn't know that SvC only gave it one hit.Also, I could be remembering wrong, but Alpha 3 technically had both versions of the Tiger Uppercut. I believe it reverted back to the single-hit version if you chose X-ism.

[SL4IN]

Also, I could be remembering wrong, but Alpha 3 technically had both versions of the Tiger Uppercut. I believe it reverted back to the single-hit version if you chose X-ism.

This. I usually play in A-ism, so the tiger uppercut was a multi-hit.

And in CVS2, it's a single hit.

[Mr. Beef]

No way Tiger Uppercut was single-hit in CvS2. That much I remember.

[apokalipze2]

It's not. I think it's single hit with light punch

[Mr. Beef]

If it was one hit with light punch, that would make sense. I always went all-out with my uppercuts. ;)

Then I learned how to play, and I stopped using him.

[SL4IN]

I must be using light punch then. is it multi hit with medium or heavy punch?

[Mr. Beef]

Four hits with medium, 5 with hard.

[BustaUppa]

Is the tiger uppercut affected by any of the -isms in CvS2? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it like:

C-ism: basically plays like Alpha 3's A-ism
A-ism: plays like Alpha 3's V-ism / Alpha 2 (damn, they made this confusing)
P-ism: plays like Street Fighter III with parries and stuff

aaaand since none of those really equate to a "Super Turbo" mode, you get multi-hitting Tiger Uppercuts no matter what you choose. Is that the right idea?

I've never played CvS2 very seriously, but are any of the -isms shunned / hated / banned in higher-level fighting circles? I was under the impression that V-ism was somewhat broken in Alpha 3, so I was wondering.

[Mr. Beef]

Tiger Uppercut is the same in all grooves in CvS2. From what I've seen, A-groove and K-groove are pretty popular, but a lot could've changed from a couple of months ago, when I was paying attention to it.

[Jimbo Slice]

Brawl is the 4th game for Evo

http://www.evo2k.com/

[SL4IN]

I'm playing the 'cube version of CVS2, so there's only GC-ism (everything is mapped to the c-stick) and AC-ism. so, I always play AC-ism. and I believe I'm playing C-groove.

In SFA3, I play A-ism.

[Mr. Beef]

So we have 3rd Strike (which I've been meaning to play for the longest time), and Brawl (which I've been playing for a while). Seems good to me.

SL41N, get a DC or a PS2, and play CvS2 the way it was meant to be played, please. GC version is just...ugh, with a side of UGH.

PS2

guess that decides what version I'm going to practice on.

[BustaUppa]

I traded in my PS2 copies of Guilty Gear XX and CvS2 when I got an Xbox... I regret it though, simply because the PS2 is such a readily accessible platform (before you even consider the tourney acceptance).

[Mr. Beef]

guess that decides what version I should've been practicing on.
Fixed. ;)

Oh, but can't you go online with the Box version? Or are the servers dead for that one?

[SL4IN]

I never got into 3rd strike, mostly because of the completely new characters and I never spent much time with it.

[BustaUppa]

Fixed. ;)

Oh, but can't you go online with the Box version? Or are the servers dead for that one?Oh it was worth it for online. I'm glad I have the Xbox versions, I just wish I didn't get rid of the PS2 versions.

[H-Town Info]

Hopefully this weekend, I'm going to head to Planet Zero and check out Tekken 6. Also I will get pics from Iphone and place here on CAG.

[asianxcore]

:lol:

cuz everyone knows that that takes a few megs of memory ;)

....not at the rate they are going

I'm waiting for the journal entry stating that random scrub Shoryu's are safe on....well anything. Randomly throw it out and be safe from any sort of whiff punishment.

As JimFoley knows, Groove selection in CVS2 depends on what character is being played. Each groove has properties, which all characters gain advantages/disadvantages from. You can't play a low-tier character and hope to win against an A-Groove team that is made up of either a PTF Bison or a "Sho-Sho" Sakura.

To answer Busta's question about CVS2, there aren't any Grooves in CVS2 that are shunned or hated by fighting game circles. The only ones that are banned at console tourneys, are the random ass "EX" Grooves (or "Custom Groove") present on the console versions of the game.

Also no offense to anyone here but play fighting games on the platforms with their best conversions.

...and Mr. Beef....Daly City? We gotta play CVS2 sometime :)

[Mr. Beef]

Probably not this weekend, Core, but get back to me around monday or something, and we'll talk. :)

It'd be better if the GC controller was...you know...made for 2-d fighters.

[Chacrana]

Well let's see... what games have had multiple console releases. I think on this, and offer my answers:

Capcom Vs. SNK 2 - DC (PS2 version played in tourneys, though)
Darkstalkers (series) - PS2
Fatal Fury (Including Real Bout) - PS2 compilations
Garou: Mark of the Wolves - PS2
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - PS2 (US version)
King of Fighters Series (prior to XI) - PS2 compilations
King of Fighters XI - Japanese PS2 release (for progressive scan)
Last Blade 2 - Dreamcast
Marvel Vs. Capcom - Dreamcast
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - Dreamcast
Melty Blood: Act Cadenza - PC (Ver. B)
Neo Geo Battle Coliseum - US PS2 release (for greatly reduced load times)
Power Stone - PSP (Collection... maybe?)
Samurai Shodown Series - Saturn
Soul Calibur II - Xbox
Street Fighter Alpha 1/2/3 - PS2 (Anthology)
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection - PS2
Super Street Fighter II Turbo - XBox (CCC Vol. 2)
Tekken 5 - PS3 (DR, obviously)
Virtua Fighter 5 - Xbox 360
Vs. Series (prior to MVC) - Saturn

I did try to research that shit a while back and buy the best versions.

Okay, this was largely useless.

What about the version on Capcom Classics 2? That's close, isn't it?

I don't play much Super Turbo.

And to whomever was talking about CvS2, I probably wouldn't start with A-Groove. I'd try C or K. If you need help post up, me and Asian and everyone else could probably help you out.

[Chacrana]

I heard that some of the sound effects were a little off even on the CCC Vol. 2 version of ST.

[Mr. Beef]

I actually started with N-groove in CvS2. What else did people start with here?

[Jimbo Slice]

I heard that some of the sound effects were a little off even on the CCC Vol. 2 version of ST.

ehh I can live with that.

I think I started with C-Groove. Now I play pretty much whatever (except for P)

I pick certain characters with certain grooves (A-Bison, A-Ken, C-Sagat, K-Haohmaru etc....)

Yeah, a couple off-sound effects is incredibly minor... which makes me wonder if there was something else... like Rainbow Edition style nonsense...

With Sagat, I play C-groove. with others... I'm still experimenting...

I'm not a blanka fan... so I've never played with him.

I use Yun, and foolishly thought he plays the same in 3rd Strike like I was used to in CvS2. That...was a car wreck.

[asianxcore]

What about the version on Capcom Classics 2? That's close, isn't it?

I don't play much Super Turbo.


From what I read in various threads on SRK, the CCC2 version of ST has serious input lag. I shortly let my copy go after hearing about that. MarkMan any comments on that?

Tisk tisk, my Asian friend, but shouldn't you be playin' dat Dreamcast version of CVS2 then?

Pish, whatevaaaaaaa

From what I've read there are very minor differences between the DC and PS2 versions.

****From CVS2 FAQ on SRK boards (Answered by Campbell "Buktooth" Tran)****

Q: There's like 5 different platforms for CvS2. Are there any differences?
A: For obvious reasons, everything will be compared to the arcade version of the game.

Dreamcast: For all intents and purposes, arcade perfect. There have been some complaints about speed differences between the arcade and DC versions, but it's an established fact that there IS no standard arcade speed. Different arcade cabinets all set on the default speed of 3 will have slight (sometimes major) speed differences for no apparent reason.

PlayStation 2: Pretty much identical to the DC version (and therefore, identical to the arcade), the PS2 version does sport slightly higher resolution. Nothing game-affecting, though.

Mr. Beef, I'll try to hit you up for some games of CVS2 in the next couple weeks. I've played a handful of my FG thread hommies in here and everyone is way legit. I'm always curious how good everyone else that posts is.

[MarkMan]

Capcom VS SNK 2 - Dreamcast or PS2
Marvel VS Capcom - No arcade perfect port. Dreamcast version has incorrect hitboxes.
Marvel VS Capcom 2 - Dreamcast
Soul Calibur II - Not sure, maybe B:L can shed light here? It's either PS2 or GCN. The Xbox one had a bug/glitch with one of Ivy's moves.
Super Street Fighter II TURBO - No arcade perfect port. Closest one is on Capcom's Classics Collection Vol. 2. Many top players who are used to the arcade version will note the timing/slight lag with the PS2 version.
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - No arcade perfect port. Closest one is PS2. Timing is a BIT different on console.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection - PS3
Tekken Tag Tournament - You'd think PS2, but it's not arcade perfect... :(
Virtua Fighter 5 - Xbox 360

[SmallWind]

From what I read in various threads on SRK, the CCC2 version of ST has serious input lag. The input lag is like 4 extra frames. http://youtube.com/watch?v=T8wGYtqnd1A

[MarkMan]

In before someone posts Street Fighter IV DX setup being 24,000 USD....

The DX setup includes 4 arcade cabinets and has LAN play setup so if arcade owners have machines setup across the arcade dude at machine 1 can play dude at machine 8 without having to sit VS style (across) from them.

The Taito Type X2 arcade board alone is only 1,500, so you do the math on how much rape Capcom is charging.

Too much rape?

[RelentlessRolento]

that's a sweet SFIV setup but not cheap... capcom and namco rape babies with their cabinet setups.

[Logg]

Not a day has went by where I don't think about baby rape.

[asianxcore]

Thanks for the ST frame vid SmallWind.

I don't think I ever played my copy of CCC2, so I never got to see first hand how bad the input lag was.

[MarkMan]

4 frames in SSF2T is very hard to notice with the human eye, and probably as hard to notice in gameplay. Only when playing/comparing between one version to the next does it become evident. Your muscle memory/reflexes do all the talking for you.

[MarkMan]

Did I call it or did I call it?

Brawl and SSF2T HD Remix...

[kristianator]

cvs2 better be last..

[simplygriff]

So do we know when HD Remix is going to be available yet?
-G

[Mr. Beef]

I look forward to playing you sometime in the near future, asianxcore. Only one question remains...where we gonna do dis bitch?

[akilshohen]

So do we know when HD Remix is going to be available yet?
-G

It's crazy that SF4 has been announced and given a release date and HG remix still is mysterious...

[GuilewasNK]

I bought Neo Geo Battlecoliseum and KOF XI from TRU today for $14.99 each.

[Rodimus]

I bought Neo Geo Battlecoliseum and KOF XI from TRU today for $14.99 each.

Nice, I spent $40 on Neo Geo BC & about $40 on KOF XI. I just couldn't wait 2 years I guess.

Anyone else gonna pick up Smash Bros tonight? I'm heading over to the GS midnight launch after I get of work. It's too bad we lose an hour tonight :( I just know I'll be waking up at 2 in the afternoon tomarrow.

[GuilewasNK]

Nice, I spent $40 on Neo Geo BC & about $40 on KOF XI. I just couldn't wait 2 years I guess.

I just wish they were online-enabled for North America. I only know one person locally that plays fighters much.

[Jimbo Slice]

Picking up Smash at midnight. I'll probably play in the tournament to but get rocked by some little kid I'm sure. I'm pretty good, but some kids are just straight nerd.

I'll post impressions tomorrow. Gonna have 10+ people here to play tonight, will probably set up 2 TV's and 2 Wii's with 2 copies of Brawl so that everyone can play. Should be fun.

[Mr. Beef]

I just wish most of the more beastly Smash crews didn't live near my area. Chances are, I'll have to go up against one or more of them.

[Halo05]

I'm sick as hell or I'd be out getting Brawl tonight. I'll drag myself out there tomorrow. Those bastards better not sell my preorder or try and give me a "new" opened copy.

[Chacrana]

So wait, is Smash in stores everywhere tomorrow, or is it just Gamestop?

[Rodimus]

So wait, is Smash in stores everywhere tomorrow, or is it just Gamestop?

Everywhere. I know it's an odd release date, on a Sunday.

I know my GS is gonna have a tourney but I'm flyin' strait home. I also hear that SSBB has it's own "Friend Code" thingy. I guess that means we gotta swap codes... again.

[MarkMan]

EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEEE

It's been shipped to stores awhile back...

Been playing since end of Jan. and it's definitely solid even if you don't have someone to play with.

[GuilewasNK]

That's 1 more than I know

Man, in my high school and college days all me and my friends would play is fighters. Of course, that was the premiere genre for competitive gaming since FPS wasn't as big at the time.

Same here. Once I left collage all my "fighting buddies" just drifted away. Online is the only thing that allows me to play competivly.

Good to hear SSBB 1- Player mode is solid. I'll be doing alot of that. Ohhhh only a few more minutes then I'm out to pick it up.

[B:L]

Been playing it since Friday to unlock stuff. Anyone else here tried it online yet?

My Brawl friend code is: 2105 8304 4709

[RelentlessRolento]

im the only one not picking it up... and I have it reserved.

I decided not too since I realized the only reason why Id get it is to entertain myv few (art$$$) friends...

It'd turn into what Halo 3 turned into for me: played a bit the first week and then never wanted to touch it again.

I'm saving my melee money for where it should go, GTAIV and MGS4.



NOTE: its hard to write this on my WII since I am away from home ATM >_<

[gunm]

I'm pretty curious about SSBB single player mode, and that's tipping me over to it.

[asianxcore]

Going to pick up my pre-order copy of Smash tomorrow afternoon on my way home.

We should all definitely trade codes when we get our copies of Smash. I'm too lazy to buy another XBL membership to play online and Smash will be fun + free!

[Rodimus]

Put my SSBB friend code in my sig. Let me know your guys so I can add ya.

My thoughts: Played about 2 hours and it's what I expected. Lots of crap to unlock (that's a good thing). 1-Player mode is great. I also played a match with a friend online and it ran very smooth, but he kicked my ass anyways. If you don't know already SSBB uses a different friend code than the Wii console. As for controls I tried using the Wii Classic controller and my guy was sliding all around, I couldn't control him well. The controller just sucks. I prefer the ol' wavebird, feels natural.

Time for sleep.

[Apossum]

Off topic (lol) - Smash is fun.

but yes, the classic controller controls like a greasy monkey. I felt the same way about Melee on a wavebird though, so I think I'm just not used to the floaty feel of the game.

I'll post my friend code tomorrow.

[Apossum]

Okay, here it is:
1032-0890-1754

[Chacrana]

Question: Did they ever add voice chat, or is it just going to be me saying lame phrases like "I'm gonna get you!" or something incredibly lame like that?

Either way, as tempted as I am, I'm waiting till Friday when my Spring Break starts to pick this up, because this will absolutely devastate my grades if I pick it up today.

No voice chat. You can enter taunt messages which show up before fights.
Nintendo looks out for your innocence, long after you lost it. :lol:

[Chacrana]

Fuck... seems like voice chat will be done via Xbox live as with... every other online Wii game? (Being Strikers, I guess)

[MarkMan]

Coming out just in time for my birthday.... :)

Just recently Hori announced they will be taking preorders for the upcoming Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 SA(Sanwa) Edition.

It will retail for 10,000 Yen ($97 USD as of this post) and will ship April 17th.

It is only available on Hori's web store.

http://www.hori.jp/products/ps2/controller/realarc_pro2_sa/

http://sdtekken.com/2008/03/09/hori-real-arcade-pro-2-sa-is-coming/

Let's hope this actually comes out and doesn't end up like the HRAP3 SA lol.

[Chacrana]

Hmm... I'm very tempted, especially with the upcoming onslaught of fighting games.

Actually, if it's only available from Hori's site, would I even be able to get one? I'm hoping they show up in the usual places.

[heavyd853]

A bit steep for me in the price range, but we'll see.

[MarkMan]

The stick's pricing is about right... An HRAP without Sanwa buttons will run you about $30 cheaper... for the Sanwa parts... it's about 30 bucks... lol...

www.akihabarashop.jp will be carrying the stick... they will update their site soon...

[SmallWind]

Markman, what Sanwa buttons does that HRAP2:SA have? The RG ones?

[Apossum]

Added you, heres mine: 0001-2977-6806


Added you back...


this game is crack X_X

[asianxcore]

Picked up my copy of Smash today.

Here is my Smash code for anyone interested:
3265-4742-2106

Apossum, SmallWind, B:L and Rodimus, I added all your codes so be sure to add me back! :)

[MarkMan]

The buttons are regular Sanwa buttons, not RG unfortunately.

RGs were last used in the Hori Real Arcade Pro SA which only 500 were made... :(

----

Glad to hear people are enjoying SSBB... I think it's a great game, although it lost some of it's technical stuff from Melee, it still has more than enough to make it a competent fighter. Reflexes and spacing mindgames still come into play heavily.

[Mr. Beef]

Once I get back home from work, I look forward to challenging you, asianxcore. Kinda like a prereq to playing you in CvS2.

[Rodimus]

I compiled everyone's SSBB code from the FT. If you don't see your name and want to add it just let me know. And if yous guys don't have any objections I'll post this in the SSBB thread, just to get us some more friendly exposure. And thanks to the guys who added me. I'm at work right now but I'll add everyone later tonight.

Thing is I completely suck at Smash. A handful of my friends are really good and I'm attempting to make this Smash the first one I learn.

Feel free to make me look like a chump at Smash online :)

Who has everyone been playing as? I've been messing around with both King Dedede and Meta Knight and both are way fun.

[hankmecrankme]

It still trips me out that to this day there is NO perfect port of Super Street Fighter II TURBO... lol... that's got to be like some kind of record...

We should compile a list of best versions for games on multiple systems/that had multiple versions....

Truth, I noticed the input lag on the CCC2 Super Turbo. That's why I stick to my MAME version. I remember liking the Saturn and PS Super Turbo on Street Fighter Collection, though.

I'mma build my 360 stick this week. I don't know what I'm going to do about the headset connection though. Maybe pick up a wireless one or get brave with the soldering iron.

[Chacrana]

I haven't really played Guilty Gear in the last year, but I played a good amount of AC this weekend... tried out Order Sol too, and I really like playing as him. Fuckin' love the charge mechanic he's got.

Anyway, with Smash, I actually play a non-shoto-style character -- Samus. Hopefully she's still good in Brawl.

[RelentlessRolento]

Once I'm done with Patapon I'm going to have not much to play other than finishing Vice City Stories and The Warriors...

on that note, The Warriors is a pretty fun beat-em-up, but it's nothing as deep as Urban Reign... oh I do love me some Urban Reign... :drool:


also, these may be just placeholders but I hate seeing star wars characters on the front of the box... at least with SCII the characters included made more sense...

In terms of television shows, "America's Best Dance Crew" is my new guilty pleasure. Jabba Wockies are amazing. I'll be surprised if it doesn't come down to them and Kabba Modern.

I agree with you Rolento, I don't like that box art. I actually like everything else except for the Star Wars characters on there :)

[MarkMan]

Played some T5DR online with some CAG members, fun times! Next time I hope I can play longer :( !

I do think it's kind of funny how the 360 box art is just a giant middle finger to people with that system... you get Yoda and some fairy-ass box art. Or at least, I like the PS3's art better.

It's weird though... I remember being hella excited for Soul Calibur 2 prior to its release... because SC I was so insanely good... but both that and SCIII weren't particularly awesome, so I'm cautiously optimistic about IV. I'd like for it to recapture the glory of Calibur, but I dunno... MarkMan, you have any idea about the legitimacy of SCIV?

[MarkMan]

It's not coming out for arcades... console first...

I have 1% hope that it will be a decent competitive game.

:/

Don't get me wrong... I had my fair share of fun with SC II and SC III, but what really killed it wasn't the gameplay balance, or crazy bugs/glitches... it was the lack of support from the community and people just stopped playing it altogether.

I believe with having a fighting game come out on arcades first... helps the longevity in the long run... (this is not always the case though)...

[Azumangaman]

The PS3 cover art for SCIV destroys the cover art for the 360. No contest.
And I need to get back in the fighting groove.

A person in my class tried to argue that Super Smash Bros. HAS MORE DEPTH than VF5.
LOLZ.

[MarkMan]

Lucasarts and Industrial Light and Magic present SOUL CALIBUR IV!

What's next?

Marvel Comics' present TEKKEN 6!?

[RelentlessRolento]

Marvel vs Namco!

I still wish that VF vs Tekken would become real. I don't see how it could work due to the speed each game runs at, but i can dream...


that reminds me of the newspaper add way back that showed Akira and Jin on the same page...

[MarkMan]

I have that newspaper ad in my collection... :/

At least the Tekken team and AM2 team that worked on VF still have lunch together every now and then... ^_^

[gunm]

SCIV is a bust for competitive play already?

Is single player any good then? C'mon, there's bewbage in there--I don't wanna buy it just for that! lie.

[RelentlessRolento]

I have that newspaper ad in my collection... :/

At least the Tekken team and AM2 team that worked on VF still have lunch together every now and then... ^_^

wasn't that whole ad mainly just a promotion for Sega helping namco with Tekken.net?

[hankmecrankme]

If SCIV has decent online play, I'll be on there, getting my ass whooped.

[Jimbo Slice]

Hopefully Soul Cal IV is like SC II, that is my favorite in the series.

So what's up with the Subspace Emissary in Brawl? Are there branching paths or is the story just really, really random? Seems like there are branching paths in some stages but I can't really say. I just don't wanna miss any characters and be forced to replay this whole thing.

[Mr. Beef]

It doesn't seem like there are too many branching paths. The story seems pretty random, but it's also because it hops from one group of characters to the next, sometimes with no warning.

Should prolly put the Brawl code in the sig. That is, if I have room. :lol:

[MarkMan]

wasn't that whole ad mainly just a promotion for Sega helping namco with Tekken.net?

Nope it was just an advertisement for both franchises, this was way before Tekken Net was ever conceptualized... This was back in the TTT pre T4 days.

[RelentlessRolento]

Nope it was just an advertisement for both franchises, this was way before Tekken Net was ever conceptualized... This was back in the TTT pre T4 days.

yeah, but didn't AM2 have a huge hand in forming Tekken.net for namco/tekken team?

[kainzero]

They restored some power to Kirby! oh man! forward smash and SH Dair are crazy~

I wanna like Ike but he's mega slow. I thought his down tilt spike was sick though, that thing is mega fast, and his forward tilt is nice but I can't get it out enough and ended up doing smashes. I also like that one guy, Lucas. He seems to have a good moveset and the lack of a slow dashdance / wavedash makes it a lot easier to connect with the bat... it also seems like he crits a lot easier. Link feels like crap though, I'd rather play as Pit... I have no idea what Mario's downB thing is, Luigi's uppercut crits a lot easier (they totally didn't need that), love the priority on Dedede's Nair... Brawl actually kinda feels good when you play 1v1 and not FFA.

I still can't believe they still let you jumpcancel Fox's shine though =( and you don't need to wavedash to grab ledge and edgehog. I'm not completely used to that, and it's kinda cool because you don't need a lot of technical know how to do it. Also my random falling off the stage for no reason and dying is still intact =)

I also played T5 DR last Friday at SVGL. Wow, that game is weird. I still can't block lows or get up after being knocked down and never learned the changes... wtf happened to Anna? Seems like I can't get up safely at all against her. And sidesteps seem really good too.

I hear UC Davis is gonna get the first T6 machine? Serious?

[Halo05]

Also my random falling off the stage for no reason and dying is still intact =)

This is pretty much my biggest complaint about the Smash Bros. series. I need more cut and dry rules for losing in a fighting game. Giant Wario randomly farting on me (I think that's what he did) and blowing me off the stage when I'm at 40% is maddening. It's still fun but at the same time, I still don't understand the appeal of "mastering" Smash Bros.

[MarkMan]

yeah, but didn't AM2 have a huge hand in forming Tekken.net for namco/tekken team?

They did, they did the whole framework etc. for it. They even make the IC cards.

[MarkMan]

So my main in SSBB is Marth right... I love his aerials and down tilt A... I gotta get better at edge guarding and spiking with his down smash though...

I love his up+B at high percentages... ^_^ that's the only time I'll ever use it...

His f+B strings are crazier now too...

I also use Luigi... trying to get down his jab into shin shoryuken combo ;)

If you don't know what it is, it's A (up close only), then free u+B... RAGE...

[kainzero]

This is pretty much my biggest complaint about the Smash Bros. series. I need more cut and dry rules for losing in a fighting game.

It's still fun but at the same time, I still don't understand the appeal of "mastering" Smash Bros.
Well, actually, I was referring to my personal problem of dying at low percentages by accidentally running off the stage and trying to jump back and failing badly. It would happen at the dumbest time too, like I'd get a crazy kill off of some cool combo / spike and then run away from the opponent's starting invincibility and end up falling off the stage.

I think the main problem with people not understanding competitive Smash is the fact that it's based on a set of rules (1v1/2v2, no items, specific balanced stages) defined byt tournaments. They make perfect sense in terms of balance but it's hard to convince casuals to play anything that's not a chaotic FFA with items on.

As far as dying is concerned, I actually like it. In Brawl it's kind of maddening if your character does not have a good smash and it's hard to eliminate them... I was playing 1v1 with my bro, Diddy vs. Samus and we routinely had 180%+ lives. But overall, it's exciting; lead changes are entirely possible with mistakes and there's a bigger emphasis on positional play. It's definitely unconventional but really fun when you get used to it and it's also more fun to watch because of the comeback potential.

I'm only concerned with 1v1s though... so I'm hoping my other bro does all the character unlocking. And I need to find me another Gamecube controller somewhere...

So my main in SSBB is Marth right... I love his aerials and down tilt A... I gotta get better at edge guarding and spiking with his down smash though...

I love his up+B at high percentages... ^_^ that's the only time I'll ever use it...

His f+B strings are crazier now too...
They didn't change his downtilt A from melee, did they? I always liked using it but didn't feel like it was that good. And I think his aerials are toned down too but apparently, they're still good. I can't combo my Fairs though. =P Lack of wavedashing hurts his tipper game which was big for me.

For edge guarding / spiking, a common situation with Marth in Melee was to grab edge, and then ledge hop Dair spike or Bair. It's much easier in this game since you can just run off the stage and then hold the direction back. From my experience it's a lot harder in Brawl to get people off the stage to actually edgeguard though.

Man I'm excited about this game. I had no faith in it till I tried 1v1 yesterday, finally, and it seems good enough...

[BustaUppa]

HD Remix Balrog (Boxer) update: http://blog.capcom.com/archives/987#more-987
For the first time, we have an instance of them changing a move to be UNSAFE on block! (jab/strong buffalo headbutt)

[Mr. Beef]

I always wanted to use Balrog, but I could never get the charge punches down correctly, and let them loose too early/late. Shame...

MarkMan, I want that Brawl code.

[GuilewasNK]

I always wanted to use Balrog, but I could never get the charge punches down correctly, and let them loose too early/late. Shame...




I suck with Balrog. Never was any good with him. I like E. Honda, Chun Li, Guile, Ryu and Ken the best. I can't use Zangief at all. I just can't do the 360 motion worth a damn.

[Mr. Beef]

I like Zangief, but if I can't roll, then I can't do a piledriver. I'm far too obvious when I'm coming in for one otherwise.

[asianxcore]

Mr. Beef I added you on my Smash code list. Be sure to add my code.

So frustrated with SSE. I am stuck on this one part on the Zero Suit Samus level and I have no idea what to do.

[Mr. Beef]

I'll make sure to add you in a bit, after some errands. EDIT: Screw errands, let's play now, if you want. Although just so you know, me and my roommate currently are sharing Brawl, so I'll show up as "B-Mac," so you're not like, "huh"?

Also, since I'm free tomorrow and wednesday, do you still wanna play some CvS2?

[wizardofcoz4126]

Long time no see everyone. I did a search on the thread and have noticed that no one mentioned that Sega announced that they are bringing the second Bleach fighting game to the US. The game will be called Bleach: Dark Souls and has a Summer release date. I am very excited since I played the original game alot on my DS. I was thinking about buying the Japanese version at the Best Buy nearby, but I decided to wait for the US release. For a link to the Sega press release check this Kotaku link. http://kotaku.com/365487/ds-gets-bleached

I would also like to add that I really miss posting and reading the discussions here and I love the SNK releases this year!

[Chacrana]

Thanks for letting me know bout that Dance Crew shit... I'm watching the show now and hella excited.

[MarkMan]

CVS2 is the final game for EVO2008.

[asianxcore]

Also, since I'm free tomorrow and wednesday, do you still wanna play some CvS2?

I'll shoot you a PM Tuesday night. I want to see how I feel by Tuesday, only because I'm still getting over some cold/flu B.S that I caught at work.

CVS2 is the final game for EVO2008.

Yeeeeaaaa boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Chacrana]

So Evo is now Guilt-free? As in no GGXXAC?

[Mr. Beef]

Nice! Now I have another excuse to bone up in CvS2!

[SmallWind]

So Evo is now Guilt-free? As in no GGXXAC? Guilty Gear can still show up in the BYOC rooms.

Also, Mr. Beef I added your code to my smash friend roster.

[Mr. Beef]

Added you back, SmallWind.

Ugh, I seriously needed practice in CvS2. I forgot just about everything I ever learned with my team...

[JEKKI]

I got Brawl!!

I decided to drop the cash since I'm expecting a phat tax rebate this friday... I was gonna give it to my parents anyways after buying new pants...

anyway this game sux!!

like I never liked this game coz I donno what the hell I'm doing and I cant figure out how to move my character and coz there's too much going on and I cant see the screen so well O_o

what do I gotta do to make this game fun???

I already got 2nd place in an online match, but I didnt kno what I was doing!!

and the 1st place winner was the computer!!

add me: 4296-2695-2997

Thanks for letting me know bout that Dance Crew shit... I'm watching the show now and hella excited.man u're late! over half the crews already been peaced out, including the incredible Iconic and Live in Color.

I really liked Fysh n Chicks too, they shoulda still be in coz Breaksk8 is awful!!

also Kaba Modern = popular dance crew from my school... they're fighting to win like Ryu fights M Bison.

one of the doods from Jabbaockeez is a former Kaba Modern member, lol.

[Chacrana]

Yeah, that white trash group sucked. I guess I'll be youtubing the rest of the shit I missed.

Seriously can't wait for this week to be over... then I can play Smash. And also be on Spring Break.

Edit: only thing I hate about the show is the shitty music in every other episode. Just the typical, mainstream shit-rap.

Yeah, I'm always feeling the same. Large reason why I don't have energy to enjoy smash is because the whole game feels too random. I only like it when there's high level play with barely or no items and random stage crapping.

[MarkMan]

That's the only way I enjoy it too... 1 vs 1, no items, stages without obstructions.

It's fun and not random at all ;)

Yeah, at my old college those matches were the only ones I stuck around to watch being played. Some damn good fights and I wanted to play badly but was way under skilled at the time (still that way).

I just don't like being killed by randomness when I know I have a good opponent. It's like if you were playing Tekken and a bunch of go karts suddenly drove through the middle of the fight... I'd be pissed.

x-posted from the brawl thread because i figure i can get better reactions from you guys:

mega brain fart:

---
holy crap, Zelda is ridiculously buff!

i like how they used twilight princess model. i haven't played that game but she looks mega hot with blond hair.

with that aside:

F+B is the most awesomest move ever. it's mega fast, can kill at 90-120% (!!), you can edge guard with it... wow.

Fair has to crit at at least 60%+ to kill but it's still good. all her smashes are good and can be followed up with F+B. Uair can kill at 70%+, Dair can spike with a crit, all her throws can be followed by F+B. basically, you can F+B everything. you can even rush down with F+B, it's THAT good. and her recovery is insane... on all her air attacks there's almost no lag and a ton of range.

neutral B is a lot quicker than Melee and it has its uses... much better than melee where it wasn't really that great.

only flaws i see in her game are recovery... if you fall off the stage and drift inside, you can't recover. also, f+b in the air has recovery but it's not really worth using in the air anyway. but man, she's sooooo good. i might make her my main.
---
i also like kirby. he's not dumb and slow like melee. f+smash has got good range and speed and you can kill with it easily. up+b has more range on the projectile and makes for good edge guarding, and i really like the priority and safety of his Fair. he's just fun to play as and pretty solid... not as ridiculous as zelda or...
---
lucas is also really good. massive priority on attacks, his lightning makes for insane edge guarding ability, his recovery is a lot better because the post-drift after the lightning is pretty fast. he even has an easy spike!
---
link sucks. he's super slow. i mean. damn. just slow and no good. toon link is a lot better. i love how his Dair spikes but how you gotta be so precise... makes for exciting fun! the angle on the arrow is weird though.
---
i don't know why but i can't really see the hype behind marth or D3 or even metaknight right now... not with zelda and lucas being so ridiculous.

system-wise, i lamented the absence of wavedash but the basic dash is actually pretty cool. lack of L-cancel is also kinda sad, and i'm so used to it that i still l-cancel anyway =) i'm not really in the habit of shield-cancelling the run yet. i also need to learn how to glide cancel, that looks ridiculously good. looks like Just Defends are a lot easier and might even be important. ledges are way easier to grab... both a good and bad thing. you can grab from far away which is kinda annoying at times but i also like how you can grab from both sides.

yay, fun fun fun. can't wait to run the tourney scene. it's a lot more fun than i really expected once i started playing 1v1s.

[apokalipze2]

Pretty lame that decided to axe Guilty Gear at evo. :cry:

Hey Chac, or anyone who would know, I have a problem. I installed Melty Blood AC Rev. B on Vista and it works fine with version 1.0. After the 1.03 or 1.03A patch, all of the character sprites have horizontal lines going through them. I played with this patch on XP with no problems. I've tried the XP SP2 compatibility mode. GPU is an 8800GT. Here's a picture.

So version 1.0 has no lines, versions 1.03 or 1.03A have lines. Any ideas?

people get really pissed with my air game with Peach(Daisy). I'm starting to get really bored with SSBB since someone at school had the import since it came out.

Does it do that in full screen too?

[JEKKI]

yo JEKKI is a true gamer... how many ppl u kno call in sick from work jus to play Smash Bros!

anyway, I thought I'd give myself until the afternoon but it's barely past 8:30AM and I still hate this game,

so if anybody wants a bargain, slightly used copy then I got u the hookups, $42 shipped.

otherwise it's on ebay later today.

Know what it prolly is? I think I do.



...oh, you want to know too? Okay, well I think you might have something like anisotropic filtering going on in your video card's settings. Basically, just to make sure, you should go into the nvidia settings, and then go to the place that lets you change the video settings for specific games. Get Melty Blood up in dat bitch and make sure that you don't have any enhancements turned on. That should do it.

this friday.. new sf4 character revealed as can be seen from the wonderfully detailed picture right here

http://streetfighterblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-sf4-character-to-be-revealed-this.html

a lot of people are saying gouken..

i really hope it isn't

[Chacrana]

At the very least, I think it's really cool to have a real fighting game where it's exciting to find out who the new characters are. Apart from Smash, we really never have this kind of anticipation in regards to rosters.

[MarkMan]

Oh man... I can't remember how many times I called in sick from work or ditched school to play Tekken back in the days...

Will do again for T6.

[Chacrana]

I wish I had GGXXAC at school right now so I could play it. Am I the only person who, when there's no fighting games around, thinks about how satisfying it'd be to do a shoryuken motion?

[kristianator]

that's funny, because sometimes when i'm standing idle somewhere.. i have the mannerism to start doing srk joystick motions with my hands.. a bit turrets-ish

[Chacrana]

I just see doing joystick motions as a natural progression from yelling "BURNING!!" for no particular reason.

[MarkMan]

I do button hitting motions and the occasional wavedash cancelling motion from time to time... sometimes I don't even notice myself doing it X_X

[MarkMan]

Oh and, Battle Fantasia (PS3) JPN version is shipping May 29th.

[Chacrana]

Man, you frickin' rock. Any word on a potential US release, or should I just go ahead and import that shit?

[MarkMan]

It will have a US release, at least, the publisher is *pushing* for it right now...

It's all up to Sony right now. The main game is ported over already pretty much.

[Chacrana]

Hmmm... well in that case, I'll probably hold off for a bit and use that money on the other imports I still want to pick up (basically, Beatmania 10-14.) If it's still Japan only after I get all that shit, then I'll grab it.

I'm curious to see what Sony's take on releasing that game in the US would be... it is 2D, after all.

It says "brand new" so it probably isn't Akuma...though it does kinda look like him. Maybe it'll be Akuma's illegitimate son.

[InuFaye]

The important question is.

When the Hell is Tekken 6.

We have not heard anything.

Except for the fact that you have to refinance your house to afford an arcade cab.

[MarkMan]

Tekken 6 got pushed back. It's Nov. most likely now. Although it's already in playable form on PS3 (but has been for a long time now lolol)...

[InuFaye]

Nov??

I will have Brawl and Soul Calibur to hold me over.

[hankmecrankme]

Know what it prolly is? I think I do.

Bingo. You're the fucking man. Thanks. Apparently, MB didn't like my 8x AF.

[Chacrana]

Glad it's workin' for ya.

Man, there's a serious trade-off between GG and MB, though. If I start getting good at one, then my ability to play the other is shot to hell.

[InuFaye]

Hey Chac

You gonna get Brawl?

[Chacrana]

Yeah, I will on Friday most likely. I woulda gotten it but I have so much stuff I have to do for school this week that buying the game would destroy my academic career permanently. Or at least do damage.

In either case, I'll have it soon.

[Jimbo Slice]

I think it being Gouken is a good guess

[simplygriff]

Just went through and put together an updated list of the Fighter Thread brawl codes. I added mine at the bottom. Let me know if I missed anyone. I plan on adding all of you as soon as I get a chance.

I'll post mine when I stop being so goddamn lazy

Edit: Rodimus, ever been to a Rickey's World Famous Restaurant?

[Mr. Beef]

That new SF4 character looked like Dee Jay, from the blurriness. But after looking at it again....it still kinda looks like Dee Jay.

[Rodimus]

Edit: Rodimus, ever been to a Rickey's World Famous Restaurant?

I live 2 minutes away from it, but honestly, I've never been. I should make it a point just to go. I've never heard any recommendation from it. There's an awsome mom n' pops wings place is closer. We usually go their instead. SO TASTY!!!

Haven't seen King of Kong yet but I know the "villian" owns it or something like that.

[Apossum]

Bingo. You're the fucking man. Thanks. Apparently, MB didn't like my 8x AF.


Strange that happened... seems like my graphics card settings have no effect on MB at all. Tried 16Q AA for shiggles and it looked the same.

[MarkMan]

Just wanted to remind anyone if interested... World Heroes Anthology (PS2) is going to be in stores tomorrow... ^_^

[hankmecrankme]

I know. I have 8x AF enabled at all times in the Nvidia control panel, and MB worked fine in XP. And 1.0 MB worked fine in Vista. I don't know why the patch screwed it up, but it's fixed now.

Just wanted to remind anyone if interested... World Heroes Anthology (PS2) is going to be in stores tomorrow... ^_^

I might have to pick it up. . . World Heroes 2 Jet baby!! Having Jet in the title makes it cooler. Admit it, Street Fighter 2 Jet sounds bad ass.

[asianxcore]

I'm such a Smash Bros. n00b.

I finally finished SSE and have Toon Link + Star Wolf left to unlock. Every single frikkin' time I've been up against them, I get my ass handed to me.

This game is fun.

[heavyd853]

Ahhh! Finally pickup matches in TDR online, I hated waiting like 15 minutes just to get owned in less than one.

[asianxcore]

Oh and, Battle Fantasia (PS3) JPN version is shipping May 29th.

Wow, how did I miss that :)

Definitely going to put down a pre-order at PA for that one. Hopefully enough people buy it to get a translated guide/wiki out for it.

[MarkMan]

Battle Fantasia is 100% coming out in the US. I can confirm now. With extra modes. You heard it here first.

[Mr. Beef]

Though barely fighting-related, Yoshi's down+a in the air is mad cheap in Boss Rush mode.

And I don't think I'll be using Rock anymore for my CvS2 team. Sorry buddy, but Joe and Yun had a vote.

[akilshohen]

no one likes to play Peach in SSBB??

Awesome. I can't wait.

[Rodimus]

Just finished with 100% in SSE mode. Now to unlock stages & get some trophies. I probably have about 2,000 coins to spend now. What's great about SSBB is that once you complete something there's always something else to do. This game is packed with mashed potato goodness.

[SmallWind]

The 3rd new SF4 character is a Mexican wrestler named El Fuerte.
