HAH! Capcom FINALLY admits that Sagat is OVERPOWERED and BROKEN!

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/13/capcom-admits-to-overpowered-seth-and-sagat-in-street-fighter-iv/1#c20088051

NERF PLEASE!

[Chibi_Kaji]

I never really ran into a problem with Sagat... But Seth...fuck him.

[Paco]

I dunno, insanely fast rate of tiger shots, awkward angles when hitting him out of his moves, invulnerability on the way up for his tiger uppercut, the fact that tiger knees can be dispensed so quickly, his ultra doing far more damage then most other peoples. There's a lot on the list.

[hankmecrankme]

Sagat is such a bitch to deal with sometimes. But hasn't he always been?

Oh, and it seems everyone I play with is in Florida or California, and my podunk internet seems to be decent usually.

[GuardianE]

Fuck Jin. Seriously. I hate him.

I know he's not overpowered. I just suck against him. I always get hit by his shitty spam moves. Ride the Icening. Freeze. Freeze throw. Spam C. Rinse and repeat. Then I pick Jin, beat them with my even spammier Jin, then take a shower because I feel dirty.

I'm maining Litchi right now and I dread whenever I face Jin. I'll opt to play a Nu-13 player before I fight a Jin.

That's because the bitch has ALWAYS been broken and overpowered. Has capcom ever made a game with a mid tier sagat? Ever since his fucking inception in Champion Edition, Sagat has been S/God tier. NERF THE FUCKER FINALLY.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Fuck Jin. Seriously. I hate him.
Is he really that bad online? I've been too scared to even try the online after watching some matches.... Plus the fact I don't really know any combo or anything.

I'm having problems problems with Jin as well. I eventually block so much that I get stuck in a corner half the match :/

When I go high, he knocks me right out of the air immediately

[Paco]

I'm having problems problems with Jin as well. I eventually block so much that I get stuck in a corner half the match :/

Isn't that essentially what Blazblue is? Being pounded into a corner with no way out or to defend yourself? :D

[GuardianE]

I'm having problems problems with Jin as well. I eventually block so much that I get stuck in a corner half the match :/

I mean, what's worse is that those moves do decent damage. I can see his freezing ability and Ice Ride moves being okay if they didn't do such good damage against you, but they do. And Jin's no slouch in the health department either. It just seems like his moves aren't as punishable as other characters' moves by default.

This, coupled with his godly Distortion Drives makes him a real pain.

I know I just need to get better against him, but it's frustrating when I know the other person is flowcharting and not even breaking a sweat.

[GuardianE]

Is he really that bad online? I've been too scared to even try the online after watching some matches.... Plus the fact I don't really know any combo or anything.

I've heard that he's really just overrated and that new people will eventually just learn to deal with him as they get more experience, but he's a nightmare to fight for someone relatively new... even if experienced in other fighters.

His Ice Ride is fast, does good damage, relatively safe on block, and lets him approach or flee at will.

His D Freeze is awesome in the air and his Standing D has good range and is pretty tall. Once he freezes you, he can run up and throw you (which is another free freeze... I know you can tech out of it, but that still leaves the move unpunishable if it's tech'd... and devastating if it hits), or Ice Ride, or Distortion.

My advice for online if you don't know any combos? Play as Jin. :D

[Inf^Shini]

@Paco - Until you learn the game and do unto others as they have done to you :P

Haha yea, there was SOME FGT guy out there using Jin against my curious Taokaka, and I just kept getting locked down.

What I find worse than Jin though is Arakune. Oi...Arakune...

Btw, does anyone find it hard to use a DD with the PS3 d-pad? I'll do the commands quickly but it rarely comes out, so I resort to the analog stick and I'll get it out at least half the time.

I need to go get my stick...

I never really cared for the guilty gear style of I WILL HIT YOU A MILLION TIMES AND YOU CAN"T DO SHIT ABOUT IT. I prefer the Street Fighter way of You hit me, I block and counter, or you mess up your attack, and I punish you with a precise attack.

Well, isn't Arakune actually top tier with Nu-13? I mean, I remember reading that somewhere, but I'm not certain of that. Jin's not at all, and that's what makes it all the more infuriating if I get trounced by him.

The commands in BB have to be more precise in general. They're not as forgiving as they are in SFIV. That might be why you have to make an adjustment when playing with the PS3 pad?

I never really cared for the guilty gear style of I WILL HIT YOU A MILLION TIMES AND YOU CAN"T DO SHIT ABOUT IT. I prefer the Street Fighter way of You hit me, I block and counter, or you mess up your attack, and I punish you with a precise attack.

I like both. :D

But BB has a lot of ways to defensively counter. The barrier gauge, the Counter Attack with A+B, the Barrier Burst. None are really free to use, but it makes sense because BB is such an offense oriented game. If you want a break from a corner trap, you're going to either have to be quick enough or it'll cost you something.

[hankmecrankme]

That's because the bitch has ALWAYS been broken and overpowered. Has capcom ever made a game with a mid tier sagat? Ever since his fucking inception in Champion Edition, Sagat has been S/God tier. NERF THE FUCKER FINALLY.

Agreed. Dude's always had reach and priority. Only thing he's never had is movement speed, but he doesn't need that.

[Paco]

Agreed. Dude's always had reach and priority. Only thing he's never had is movement speed, but he doesn't need that.

If capcom was any more messed up, they'd grant him movement speed to go along with his almost half screen high kick. That'd be a laugh.

[JEKKI]

His Ice Ride is fast, does good damage, relatively safe on block, and lets him approach or flee at will.incorrect... that's why u insta-block dawg.

icecar broadcasts itself like 300 miles away, you can always get a free combo off it.

[GuardianE]

incorrect... that's why u insta-block dawg.

icecar broadcasts itself like 300 miles away, you can always get a free combo off it.

I knows, man. That's why I've got to get better at it. Insta-blocking is still something I haven't really gotten good at doing. Icecar is pretty fast if you're not used to it. The startup really isn't that bad on it. I'm having less of an issue with Icecar as I am with freezing. I can never read the Freeze coming and I completely suck ass with teching out of throws.

Are you always able to get a free combo after a regular block? Should I just be jabbing into something? Should I try to throw? It seems like he can block some attacks I try after blocking his IceCar.

Like I said before, it's obviously me sucking against him, but I wanted some pointers to get started.

Are you always able to get a free combo after a regular block? Should I just be jabbing into something? Should I try to throw? It seems like he can block some attacks I try after blocking his IceCar.not off regular block. Off regular block Jin can recover and block any retaliation in time.

off insta-block you can go into a combo before Jin is able to block again.

if anything I have problems with Jin's invincible moves.

if i IB the 2nd hit i get a dash a - 6a - *stuff* with noel. also if he does it high the recovery time is longer so you might be able to do more.



i feel that except for learning and maxing combos with noel i'm pretty much done learning her and that i'd get better with noel if i learned how to play the other characters or at least know what to look for and how to counter it

but
goddamn it takes so long to learn them!

Actually, buying Battle Fantasia would help them more since it's cheaper for them to distribute, thus making larger profits.

Also, decided to skip KoFXII and just gamefly it. After how broken I've learned it is, It'll be a fun throwaway game. KoFXIII hopefully will be the right one.

And I'll get blaz blue at some point, I'm not in a hurry. I don't see the need. I've got too much other stuff to play to be honest, and on top of that I'm busy with video work.

And yes, I'll get peer pressured and hassled I don't have BB, but I put up with it.

damn not having prime! and im still waiting on blazblue from yf360games

[eastx]

B:L you shoulda ordered it directly from Toodles at SRK. I think he's done shipping out orders this week though.

I finally ordered BlazBlue LE for 360 today! $49.90 after ECA discount. Had to use super saver shipping though, so I won't have it for a while..

Yeah, I was EXTREMELY tempted to pick it up, but I just got a TE for 360, so I don't need another stick for that system. :p

As for non-FT games...I play anything. Played Droplitz the other night. Might get Secret of Monkey Island too...I never did finish the original game, so I might just pick it up.

I might play some more BB tonight. Been rather hard to balance the backlog since inFamous and Red Faction: G have been taking up most of whatever free time I have for games anyway.

[gunm]

I have to say, Capcom is doing a nice job hyping MvC2 re-release--I actually kind of want to pick it up now. If it is $9.99 on PSN, I'm in for sure.

[GuardianE]

not off regular block. Off regular block Jin can recover and block any retaliation in time.

off insta-block you can go into a combo before Jin is able to block again.

if anything I have problems with Jin's invincible moves.

if i IB the 2nd hit i get a dash a - 6a - *stuff* with noel. also if he does it high the recovery time is longer so you might be able to do more.

Can I insta block the second hit if I regular block the first hit? I know it doesn't quite make sense, but can I release and reblock before the second hit for an instablock?


If its not A icecar, ie the one without the second hit, it is 10000% punishable. Just throw out a quick normal than combo Jin's face off.


Are you sure? It sort of contradicts JEKKI's comment about how an instablock is needed for it to be 100% punishable. I've seen Jin block my attack after my NORMAL block of his C Icecar, but maybe I used a normal with slow startup. Not sure.


Thanks for the advice, guys. I've gotta get to practicing.

[Rodimus]

i'm curious. Are there any non-competitive games besides fighters/fps/rts that you guys play?

[heavyd853]

if you insta block the first hit, and have a quick reversal, you can hit jin out of the second hit.

Non-competitive, as in, it doesn't have a tourney scene for it?

Ninja Gaiden for sure, then throw in some DMC for good measure ... Peggle too.

[LostRoad]

RPGs easy, I would pick a good RPG over a good fighter if I had to make the choice.

Can I insta block the second hit if I regular block the first hit? I know it doesn't quite make sense, but can I release and reblock before the second hit for an instablock?
yes.
keep in mind that IBs are almost impossible to do accurately online unless you have green lag.

and the second hit has to be IBed for noel. i only know my character's specifics. maybe rachel can 6DC on regular hit, who knows

oh man, magical drop 3, that brings back memories. like aladdin's castle in torrance memories.

i'm just curious since i been playing tetris recently and it seems like all the competitive games are fighters/rts/fps, i wonder if there's anything to add to that.

i don't like racing because it's half car, half driver skill. and it's a simulation of real life, which makes me just want to stay in real life.

and i don't like rhythm games competitively because it's like golf; the actions of one do not really influence the actions of the other

TSS is great, but everyone here already knows how much I can't stand it anymore since my old crew only played that game for an entire month... got pretty sick of it.

[JEKKI]

dood! Tetris attack! the game of bausses~!!

[hankmecrankme]

My crew was addicted to Puzzle Fighter back in the day, then PF HDR came out and we all got addicted to it again.

Also, Pokemon Puzzle League had us all addicted too. We just played 2D mode so it was just like Tetris Attack.

[eastx]

I'm curious. Are there any non-competitive games besides fighters/FPS/RTS that you guys play?

This may come as a surprise to you, but ages ago I was the best US Saturn Bomberman player, and one of the top 2 Bomberman Act Zero players. Only two things keep me from staying at the top of the Bomberman Live scene: college, and I want to play other games too, but college keeps me too busy to devote much time to anything.

Had they not of released Garou and KoF98UM on xbox live, then I may of bought it at retail. Now it has no chance until a price drop or deal.

Same here! Sure KOF12 is prettier, but I'm not even close to done with Garou and KOF98UM yet.

[Monsta Mack]

Battle Fantasia is not that bad of a game. Seriously. Low amounts of copies were available for the 360 so I'm glad It's getting a PSN release (and I hope they price it at $30 or less as a digital download).

KOF officialy out 28th. Is it really broken? The only thing that bothers me is it has a whopping 20 characters, which is kinda low imho for a KOF game even though the graphics are awesome.

Man, so many fighting games I bought this year and I suck at everyone of them (well except SFIV) I am just horrible at BlazBlue. So theres only Tekken left... and I need money to buy it by XMas.

Critical Counters man - haven't experienced it myself, but I hear it hurts the game badly.

[Jimbo Slice]

Critical Counters are an interesting addition to the game. No more broken than say, a custom combo (V-ISM Karen, anyone?)

I'm not a KoF fanboy or anything, but I'm probably one of the few people here that have actually played the game, and I hate to see it getting bashed in the public eye. I really have no stake in whether you buy it or not, but please give it a try before making up your mind about it.

"Broken" is such a subjective term anyway.... what would MvC2 be without brokenness? Alpha 3? XvSF? Other KoF games? Even to an extent, CvS2....

Just give the game a try. I remember when everyone was creaming their pants over footage of the game, and now everyone is going to pass on the game? Seems nuts.

Look forward to playing those of you that do get it online.

PS3 for me, but since I'll be getting it from gamefly, I'll toss up both versions and see which one actually comes.

[Rei no Otaku]

Im getting KOF12 but not till 2 weeks or so after it comes out. I have 0 hype for it and im sure it'll be cheaper on craigslist after 2 weeks from release when someone gets bored of it.

Agreed. I'm getting it for PS3.

[LostRoad]

I won't be getting KoF till it hits around $40. Not a huge KoF fan any more and really I still think MotW is the best yet and from what I have played better than this one as well. Though I have to ask, what is broken about Alpha 3?

[SmallWind]

Though I have to ask, what is broken about Alpha 3?V-ism combos that can lead to crouch cancel infinites.

[LostRoad]

Eh, guess we all have different views on broken. I don't see that as broken, because it is not a sure thing. Unlike say an air juggle. OP yes, broken, not to me.

[SmallWind]

crouch-cancel infintes in a match.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhO7Ifh9ABw

[LostRoad]

I'm still not seeing how that is broken, because you can Alpha Counter that in all but x-ism. The whole point of v-ism was for custom combos. The only thing I see wrong is the air juggling which I already said is broken if any game has it. If there is a means to stop something I just don't see it as broken.

[BustaUppa]

When I think of the term "broken" in the general sense, I just consider it to mean "accidentally overpowered." What constitutes "overpowered" is almost always up for debate, other than obvious cases like infinites. Although if an infinite is hard enough to perform, it can be less "broken" than a lower-damaging combo that is very easy to execute and exploit, IMO.

[SAB-CA]

(Yes, prepare for a KoF/BB study, lol. I've seen so much anti-KoF in this thread, that I think it's perfectly fair, though! It's not just fanboy ranting, I promise!)

I've never heard one person who actually plays KoF XII call the CC system broken.

I've seen some pretty damaging ones, yes, but something I like about it (much like I like in Blazblue) is that it's not just a "LAWLZ, High tier character has high damage!" situation. Practical use of every character seems to be able to land a 50%+ damage CC with excellent execution and timing, in the right circumstances.

Just about every throw-involved combo in Blazblue does 50% damage, lol. (Slight exaggeration) Why would KoF's CC system, based off a single technique that you can only use after some time in a match, that is baitable, risky, and full of workable countermeasures, be more broken than BB?

Anywho, KoF has always been my main goal, BB was just a distraction/side-dish (even though it's a very well put together one at that.) I'll be getting XII day one, enjoying it's liveliness and style, and it's vastly better animation!

I keep looking at Blazblue, and wondering about some of the places they don't have animation, such as how counter blows don't even have billowing clothing or shaking knees (dude, Streets of Rage and Guilty Gear did that detail better!), or why the opponent is completly still when Tao does her "I'mma beat the crap outta you!" super. Or how my much loved Bang's "sentai-style rear explosion" victory stance looks quite low in frames. It might all be high res, and some animations look fantastic, such as all stance animations, and Tao's crawl and crouching 3C. But other parts look no better than, for example, HD remix.

On the gameplay side of things, I've always found XII much more interesting to watch than BB. More intensity! Also, things that HURT, are over pretty fast. Mid match combos are to the point. This, to me, makes the pacing much more interesting. Not to mention the Zoom on CC's also makes them feel more like supers, rather than just long combos. The sound effects, and the fact it has a beginning and ending, make it feel more like a chorus in song, a climatic situation, and exclimation point!

Getting combo'd in BB sometimes feels like you could just walk away for a bit... like getting in a 14 hit combo at any time by a good Litchi, or some of Tao's combos. The gattling combos are very slowly paced in BB too, input wise (though I hear XII feels slower than many KoFs), which actually lowers my hype JUST a bit while playing it.

Otherwise, PLAYING BB does excite me alot more than any gameplay vids of it ever did. Sometimes it feels like a chore, but more often than not, it's actually fun.

On the next topic of gameplay, for all those people I saw mention how epic BB feels in battle... I just can't 100% agree. BANG, easily, makes every battle epic. He IS the embodiment of Epic and Awesome. But the Astral finishes, while very nice looking, actually FEEL slightly thrown into the game.

After Bang's wonderful install super (Fu Rin Ka ZANNN!) having an AWESOME themesong, I would at least expect the music to either fade, or to have a shared "You're gonna die!" theme like Soul Calibur 4. But Astral's just... happen. Other than the nice animation, they sometimes feel less impressive than supers, because of this. (AND WHY DOES BANG CARRY A HUGE NAIL, only to use it for a finish he didn't even HAVE till console release? SUCH A WASTE! -ahem-)

And my last BB vs XII criticism... Characters and Balance.

BB's characters do feel vastly unique, and I love this about them. But there are 2 things that stand out to me that I dislike, also:

1. Because of this difference, not everyone feels accessable or even much fun to play, without deeply learning them, especially Carl. Because of this, I have much less fun playing multiple characters, than in most other games. While I don't think this'll make me tire of the game long term, I do think it makes it less fun to play for hours on end, because who wants to play characters that feel like utter trash in your hands, when in a 6 man lobby?

2. Characters balance feels off, at least for mid-level, casual play. Arukune has infinite curse/bug summon, yet Bang has limited nails? Why should 'kune have no summon limit? Jin has higher HP, quicker gauge refil, ability to freeze after combos, and lightning fast, generally safe moves? Some of the things that are gauged, while others are not, just feels kinda reasonless.

KoF might have a small cast at 22, for KoF, but everyone, even "lacking moves" Clark and Mature, look viable. While character have different ways of getting in and doing damage, and different ways to excel, they ALL look like they can excel. Noone looks fundamentally crappy, nor does anyone look insanely overpowered.

Every time I've seen something really powerful come out of XII, I've seen someone find something equally cool about the next character on the list. And every time I've seen someone say a character is poor or lacking, I've seen vids of players who play so good, that they make the formerly "weak" character, now look OverPowered to the casual observer.

But it all looks like legit stuff. Some corner combos, and some strong use of weak and strong specials, or counterhits. Nothing that looks like a glitch (Oh Carl, I'm talking about your loops!), or that you feel dirty for using, lol.

Don't get me wrong, I definately enjoy BB, but for the first few days of getting it, in between being stoked about how great it's "extras" were, I also kept hearing in the back of my head, while playing, "THIS?!?! THIS is what people kept saying felt SO much better than my KoF?!? These slow chains?!? This small cast of characters?!? And WHY does Jin feel so BROKEN!?!" XD

It just seemed so obvious that BB had some big negatives, too, but it was like everyone JUST focused on KoF's negatives, and BB's positives.

When it comes down to the gameplay, (From playing BB, and just seeing KoF, no arcade with it here!) I feel both games are equally worthy of being in fighting game fans collections. I personally perfer KoF, but I'm obviously bias at a personal level, lol. But after watching KoF XII matches since April, and watching and playing BB in the past 2 weeks, I just can't see how people who've played both VS good competetion, can act like BB is SO much better, on an objective level.

Anywho, this fight thread needed a bit more pro KoFness from a fan who has grown to like the retooled cast! I swear most KoF detractors simply dislike that one character or another are not there, or that this re-birth isn't at the same place as 15 years worth of mostly recycling old assets, lol.

Watching this game grow, from those first matches in Portland's AI, to were Japanese and even English (as in England) people have taken it now, has one of the coolest evolutions I've seen in the course of any fighter.

Reply to that Crouch Cancel Alpha 3 Video: Man am I glad that the play I had in Alpha 3 was never like that. To me, that's when games go from being fun and enjoyable, to just being robotic spamfest. It doesn't even LOOK fun anymore; it might be kinda funny, like watching SFII Rainbow Edition, but that sure doesn't make me wanna PLAY the game.

The only thing I see wrong is the air juggling which I already said is broken if any game has it. If there is a means to stop something I just don't see it as broken.
you can't alpha counter that.
v-ism activation = invincibility (frames dependent on how much meter you have)
99% of v-ism setups are guaranteed, like anti-air/whiff-punishing/going through fireballs. the others are predicted or unblockables like gouki.

the funny thing is that even with crouch cancelling the top tier of v-sakura, v-gouki, and v-zangief don't have cc infinites. but there are ridiculous things like unblockables and OTG grabs, and if you can still do some CC combos even if they're not infinites.
also for all the A3 practice i've done, i can't do any cc infinites save for ryu's 1p (and that's mostly in practice mode). it's hard as hell.

on brokenness:

i view "broken" as stuff that seems outside the scope of the design intent, often but not necessarily overpowered.
like i would view noel's 6C-BC cancel to be broken, but not overpowered
(but goddamn! i can't get the dash 6C consistently!)

[hankmecrankme]

Speaking of broken. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUd3LHEDlM0

And I'm a long time KOF fan too, but I haven't been too excited about KOF XII. I think I just need to play it and decide for myself. Not buying it for $60 though.

(but goddamn! i can't get the dash 6C consistently!)Yeeeeah that is very well put. I think of the "design intent" as being a big part of it.

Like in the "broken but not overpowered" category, I'm thinking of something like Reptile's elbow dash move in UMK3. After a launcher, you can use the dash (b,f+LK) to run back and forth and repeatedly anti-air HP the guy. I doubt the developers had that in mind when they designed the move, but since the aforementioned combo takes a very high level of skill, any of the extra damage earned by it seems "fair."

Meanwhile, Kabal's spin move works exactly as intended but it's overpowered as hell!

Why would a alpha counter not work? When you use it it makes you invincible as well for the start up. From what I remember when a ac is used on toons under x-ism that can't be stoped it pushes you right though them nether player taking damage( Doing this on Bison is a prime example ). Why would this not work here? While v-ism would still be attive it still gives the oppessing player a chance to pull back and try to play keep away till it wears off. Does v-ism go though and negate ac I guess is my question, instead of the first hit of v-ism being canceled out?

[heavyd853]

Can you do alpha counters in hitstun?

[suko_32]

I'll get KoFXII, but not at $60 either.

[LostRoad]

Can you do alpha counters in hitstun?

No you have to be blocking to be able to do it.

Does v-ism go though and negate ac I guess is my question, instead of the first hit of v-ism being canceled out?
an alpha counter won't work because people generally don't activate in non-guaranteed situations. and the invincibility is huge. also if you AC the first hit, the character only loses 50% VC meter, so you're still down in meter.

keep in mind with A3 that it was very difficult for most characters to hit confirm supers, so hitting with a VC is way easier in comparison.

someone jumps in, lp+lk on reaction is way easier and faster than qcfx2+K for shinryuken. then there's the OTG brokeness and the kattobi cancels...

it actually makes the first few seconds of a vism vs. vism match exciting, because counter-activation makes it that much harder to get the VC off.

so then as if VCs weren't easy enough to get opportunities, now you have infinites. not only are they infinites but you can delay the match and regain all your meter back.

[RelentlessRolento]

Nice... MM prob said something on IRC but I'm more likely to get these than the SF TE Sticks:

on that note I should hop on IRC more, but the problem is I'm staying away because it's really distracting and I need to work on this music video >_<

[Monsta Mack]

Whats the real difference besides the lack of SFIV art? I'm honestly happy enough shelling out $150 + shipping that I spent on the TE months ago, but It's funny seeing them go now for $125 or less with free shipping. Dammit lol.

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah, cheaper for me means more likely to get.

Looks like they took it down >_<

it's basically TE sticks but with blank white only (and a small madcatz logo, that prob can be taken out or covered).

I say either wait for those or get the MvC2 sticks since you can probably save some cash in some form or another.

[MarkMan]

Don't know what you're talkin about.

MVC2 sticks? Those were debunked by Capcom awhile ago:

my 6C doesn't cancel properly into BC sometimes.
when i do 6C - BC loops in the corner they drop.

IB countering? forget it.
sometimes teching doesn't even work.

Those first round endings were pretty silly. I kept trying to bait Jin's like that in other matches, and kept ending up suiciding on delayed Ice Swords... -_-; My RC fails of the day came from RCing a Super that DID hit... I figured he'd block, but it actually HIT him... they took advantage of my moment of confusion and won...

Only 360 fighting game I missed over the last year was MK vs DC but thats only because my Target never reached $15 on the clearance rack when we had copies. I'll be picking that up real, real, real cheap.

I love BlazBlue with a passion. Played around with Jin today and I think I found an infinite. You can spam Snow Flower Storm in the corner until your hand gets tired. This was in training mode though, so I'm sure it would be different in a match. And I'm sure that that's already well known, it was just cool to figure it out by myself.

the internet has such a distaste for when PSP gets exclusives or bonuses >_<
I'm looking forward to it. I really enjoyed Tekken on the PSP.

[RelentlessRolento]

Tekken 6 PSP is all I can think about honestly, though the console versions are going to eat up a good chunk of my lifetime breathing.

[SmallWind]

I love BlazBlue with a passion. Played around with Jin today and I think I found an infinite. You can spam Snow Flower Storm in the corner until your hand gets tired. This was in training mode though, so I'm sure it would be different in a match. And I'm sure that that's already well known, it was just cool to figure it out by myself. jin doesn't have an infinite...

[PhrostByte]

What's so great about fighting games on handhelds? Not like you can play against other people anyway.. unless you do that WiFi link thing right?

[RelentlessRolento]

what's so wrong with enjoying single player in fighters?

[PhrostByte]

There's nothing wrong with it I guess... personally, the only time I play single player modes in fighting games is either to do training or to unlock stuff.

[gunm]

Ach, I missed BB night? Dang. I'll try to play this weekend, but I also received Prototype today. :p

:applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

I'm 99% sure that I'm the only one in this thread who doesn't play fighting games against other people. While it isn't quite as interesting as playing against any of you guys(I'd assume), 1P in fighting games, when done right, can be just as gripping as any big AAA shooter's gameplay. Virtua Fighter 5's Quest mode is an excellent example, it's fucking perfect. Tons of content, 20+ hours worth of gameplay if you're a perfectionist, great A.I. that feels as unpredicable as one would expect from XBL. The list just goes on. The mission modes from Soul Caliburs 1 & 2 are also highly entertaining time-sinks.

Fighting games are just like racing games, better played with others, yet alone when done right.

Why it it that the phrase " girl-on-girl-on-furry-threesome" pops into my head whenever I play Noel's story mode? I mean DAMN, you could cut the sexual tension with a knife!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!:D:D:D:D:D

[RelentlessRolento]

I barely get to play humans, that's why I need to find a crew like I use to have to get better... at least online is a small substitute, but in now way feels the same honestly.

[eastx]

To be fair to PhrostByte, the bosses in SNK fighters and Seth in Street Fighter 4 basically do everything they can to prevent people from enjoying their single-player modes. But plenty of other fighting games have great single-player, like BlazBlue and Battle Fantasia.

Dude, her alternate end is kinda suspect if you ask me ;)
She's rubbing that panda and making the "Oooooh" noise, and then you got Litchi all boozed up behind her ready to dress her up.

Crazy, My B-day is in 4 days.

You guys think the prices of the BlazBlue PS3 are going to climb any higher? I'm dying to open it up so I can watch the tutorial Bluray, but with my luck as soon as I do they'll start going for three bills on ebay.

Regarding Dead Space, is it worth it to play the mini-game Zero-G Basketball? If it is, how do I get past 'Level 1'?!

It's an achievement if you care about that. You get some useful items too.

[eastx]

My BlazBlue LE for 360 came today. I hope I have a chance to play it tomorrow night...

LOOKIT DADAMAGE!

Anyone up for some KOF 98? Add me on LIVE...

[SAB-CA]

Anyone up for some KOF 98? Add me on LIVE...

Surely, if you see me on and I'm not in the middle of something, I'd love to play some 98UM.

[LostRoad]

LoL, starting shit between east and west already Mark.

[DarthPuma]

God, Jin is straight cash in BlazBlue. His combos are killing me though, I can't pull off the standard air combo at all and that is not a good thing.

[DarthPuma]

JUSSTIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(caps lock)

EDIT:
Lost. FUCK

[LostRoad]

Very close. Great match

[Jimbo Slice]

More people take the quiz!!

[LostRoad]

You mean all the questions haven't been answered 100% yet? Slackers

[BlueSwim]

Is "researching" grounds for DQ? If not, I should be able to enter tomorrow.

[Inf^Shini]

I thought Phrost answered em all ;)

[DarthPuma]

I tried. I couldn't complete it even with google's help. :cry:/:lol:

[dizzlle01]

Anyone know how much Daigo wins for winning the tournament?

[Jimbo Slice]

yeah, no "researching" to complete the quiz.

[SmallWind]

:rofl: Really blurry vid of Mr.Beef playing Tournament Fighters that we saw someone set up at EVO'09. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtwaKNItSE

[Zmonkay]

More people take the quiz!!

Only one I knew off the top of my head was the last one, cuz that character was one of my mains... I is ashamed.

[Inf^Shini]

I did it! I actually took time to take the quiz :D

Gimme a prize for that!

MISSION COMPRETE!

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: I think Shini should win for actually trying :)

[BlueSwim]

CRAP!:lol::lol::lol: Oh well, I'll still give it a shot. *Prepares to fail in epic fashion*

So far, HankGuyCrankGuy is in the lead. I think he got 7 of the answers correct.

The one I saw on dustloop was j.B > j.C > JC > dj.B > dj.C > dj.D > ice car C. I'm fine until the dj.B, can't get it to connect.

I'm also having trouble linking this to the standard air 6C > dash cancel (DC) > 5C > 2C > jump cancel (JC) > standard air combo.

The problem with Jin is that, at least so far, I haven't found an effective way to rush someone down. He can zone like a motherfucker though.

[Rodimus]

I know I don't count but I went ahead and answered the ones I didn't contibute. Hope I did okay. Why did a Time Killers question have to be there?

[hankmecrankme]

So far, HankGuyCrankGuy is in the lead. I think he got 7 of the answers correct.

Damn, I did better than I thought. :)

[kainzero]

i submitted my answers. i fully expect to win.

[Jimbo Slice]

:rofl:

at some of the answers you guys put so far when you didn't know the answer.

I'll try to put together a "best-of" after it has concluded.

[Inf^Shini]

*phantom page defeated*

Can't wait for that :-P

you sure it's not sj.B? maybe your first j.B hits too high? either way just do as much as you can to finish.

the second combo i think is an SJC as well.

it's easy to rush down in this game if you have a fast attack. you just dash in and do it =) i think jin's is 5B?

[BlueSwim]

Just PM'ed Jimbo my answers. I tried to play through the arcade version of Tekken 2 for the Jack-2 question, but Devil Kazuya was being a God-damned, son of a fucking bitch.

Tekken Tag = The shit

Tekken 2 = Just plain shit

[Inf^Shini]

Tekken 2 = Law's angry elmo voice

[DarthPuma]

I'm not even sure how to do a Super jump cancel. >.< You anything I can combo from with that 5b?

[SmallWind]

You just do down -> up on a move that's JC-able.
