CAG Fighter Fighting Game Matchmaking - SSFIV AE Games with Gold in June, Skullgirls Encore (free update) Out Now!

[quote name='wjhard63']Yeah, I think it's worth it Joe. I have the CE and the art book, CD, and overall packaging is very nice. The artbook is kind of small, but high quality and the book/ container packaging is unique and has a faux felt lining. I've not watched the 'making of' DVD, but my best buy copy came with the Dampierre character and the CE has two armor sets on the code insert. Not sure if you'd get the codes on your used copy, but assuming you get everything else, I'd say its definitely worth $25.[/QUOTE]

Nice artbook, nice soundtrack, making of documentary is all in Japanese w/subtitles. Documentary disc is a pain to get out b/c it has a foam spindle and you almost have to break the disc to get it off.

Considering the regular version was $10 after BB coupon, $25 for the CE as long as it had everything physical left would be fine.

The game shines in MP, the single player is pretty crappy.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']You guys not using irc this year?[/QUOTE]

Uhmmm, click through for the whole playlist. Also, you play with me so I can upload more matches you.[/QUOTE]
Where have you been? I haven't seen you on since Diablo 3 came out.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']I feel like it has been so long since I've thrown down with you dudes. I suppose that is because I am terrible at Marvel and my internet blows now.


In other news.

Another BB I'm gona buy and not finish the main story. Sweet :D[/QUOTE]
Yeah man, it was been a while since we've played.

In regards to BlazBlue, I'm not sure how I feel about ANOTHER new game. I mean really, it's kind of getting out of control On one hand we won't get it in the US until probably March at the very earliest. I'll probably still end up getting it but I'm not sure if it'll be day 1 like the previous games.
 
Yeah, I picked up P4A. I like it so far, but the control scheme is driving me insane. I don't like the default button layout at all, so I might need to switch it. Otherwise, it seems solid and easy to pick up and play on a very basic level. The juggles, movement, and combo timing are reminiscient of BlazBlue, unsurprisingly.

I think that BB: Chrono Phantasm has the potential to be awesome. It's a true sequel with a major overhaul to each character's move properties AND the engine itself. The implementation of the Overdrive mechanic and guard crush mechanic are game changing. I think it's going to be more frenetic than CS2 was, which can definitely be a good thing. It won't hit consoles for a long while, so I'm not all that worried about the multiple releases. I have a tendency of giving ArcSystem Works a little more flexibility in this regard over other companies, though.

After reading a lot about the system changes I'm a little less leery about it. It seems like a major overhaul. At $40 I'd probably get it day 1. $50/60 with the soundtrack like Calamity Trigger wouldn't be bad either.

I'm hoping I'll finally be able to get in this Wednesday (finally). What are we playing?
 
[quote name='Kensei']SFxT is on sale for $13 on gamefly if anyone is still looking to pick it up.[/QUOTE]


I think almost everyone has it except Gouki. Want to take the plunge for $13? :p Maybe people will stop hating it after a month or so.

I probably won't be able to make it tomorrow for the fight night because of a work engagement. Looks like the streak of 3 players continues.

bs uploaded some of our UMvC3 matches. I'll embed the first and link the rest:

I'll wait until AFTER people stop hating it. That $13 is better spent towards P4A or HD remix or GGXXAC...

I should be there tomorrow. I'll play whatever.
 
For $30 its not bad. If you want a real good stick I'd recommend waiting for a Mad Catz stick to go on sale. You can regularly get the TE sticks for about $99
 
That video was awesome. MarlinPie is one of my favorites too. It's too bad he doesn't travel to a lot of tournaments.

Kazimer I like Persona but it takes some getting used to. You need to play some Marvel with us again sometime.

I definitely do. My buddy here and I have been working on getting back into the groove. You guys still doing Wednesdays?
 
[quote name='Jay']Anyone know if this is a decent fight stick,

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick/dp/B004M23RAC[/QUOTE]
It's not a bad case, the parts are pretty decent on it (much better than the old SFIV SE sticks). The nice thing is it's super easy to upgrade the parts to Sanwa/Seimitsu and change the artwork. You might also check your local Gamestop because I seem to recall them having the same stick for like $20.

[quote name='bjstucker']probably off the wall question but does anyone play Soul Calibur or KOF13?[/QUOTE]
Not off the wall at all. I have Soulcalibur V and I know a lot of the other guys do as well but it's not something we play that often. Personally I just got it when it was $10 at Best Buy (shootouts to Shinobi!) but haven't had time to play. KOF13 however is another store. Most of the "regular" members of the group (myself, Kensei, Gouki, Guardian, joe, Shinobi) have it & play it quite often. We usually have a session 9PM EST on Wednesdays if you wanna join.
 
[quote name='bjstucker']probably off the wall question but does anyone play Soul Calibur or KOF13?[/QUOTE]

Yep! A lot of us picked up SCV from the Gamefly sale, but haven't really played it. Almost all of us have KOF13.


[quote name='IanKazimer']I definitely do. My buddy here and I have been working on getting back into the groove. You guys still doing Wednesdays?[/QUOTE]

Same as Kensei. If you see me online and want to play a few, don't hesitate to shoot a message.

As for Persona, I like it, but it takes a while to get used to the game mechanics. Like I said before, movement is akin to BlazBlue, but there are a number of unique button combinations that do unique movement options/attacks. It's relatively easy to pick up and play, though. I think it'd be a good game for us to play as a group, but only Kensei, Roses, and I have it right now.

I'll definitely hit you guys up soon. Sure I'm a shadow of my former self at this point. Playing P4A with my buddy tomorrow after work too, so maybe I can get a grasp on that one. Looks fun.

SoulCal's a good time. Haven't played it for a bit, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd throw down a few there too!
 
With the Newegg.com deal of $15 off any pre-order, now is the perfect time to take a chance and pre-order some other fighting games... like DOA5!

If you haven't been following, here are some videos from a recent pre-release tournament:

And more are here: http://www.youtube.com/user/IPLFighters

I think it's looking really good. I'm absolutely horrible at it, but I think it'll be a lot of fun. A lot of the big damage combos stem from something called a "critical burst" which changes the stun properties. I'm not 100% sure how it works, or how a critical burst is initiated exactly.

There will be lobbies with spectator and a lot of emphasis for online play. There's even an online training mode. Already have my copy pre-ordered.

Oh great, this code works again? I don't really want to hassle canceling my $12 dollar off preorder for it :/

Canceled and preordered again, thx guardian.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']Oh great, this code works again? I don't really want to hassle canceling my $12 dollar off preorder for it :/[/QUOTE]

Yep, it worked again for me today.

Just make sure to make a new order using the $15, THEN cancel your $12 off order.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']Anyone tryna play some DOA4? DOA5 tourney is gona be free at summer jam, tryna win a match, haha.[/QUOTE]

I'd be up to play. But you're not going to learn anything because I'm awful.
 
Played a little bit of DOA5 at Summer Jam, reminded me why I liked DOA4 when it came out a month after 360's launch. Really stoked to own this game next month.
 
Good games today, Roses.

bs000 uploaded some matches that we played. It was an okay set. There's a weird bug that happened in the middle of the second video at around 7:10. After downing Zero, I couldn't dash out of the corner for some reason. And then I got hit by a super... I'm not sure if it crossed me up or I couldn't block.:
