mo sadness mo sad come come again :(
 
I was flipping through some of my old comics and look what I found. Anyone remember these?

StreetFighterComic.jpg



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

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

- One more note, they spell Chun Li = Chan Li & Blanka = Blanca. :error:
 
Good god those look like the worst comics ever. I can't believe that Capcom hasn't hired ninjas to go out and erase all evidence of their existance.
 
hay Markman do u kno if I can show up at comic con tomorrow and be able to get in?!?!

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

I really wanna go too... I was only gonna go if I went with my friend and she only called me a few minutes ago saying yes. Now I prolly can't even take her :(
 
Got up to 4-3 in Super Paper Mario and decided I would beat it later on. I had my fill of the gameplay, which is superb. and the nerd iguana castle was probably the high point of the whole game.

"Do you go on video game message boards and complain about games you've never played? True or False" spot on. :lol:


Started Ninja Gaiden Sigma on Hard. I'm shooting for the top 100 on the scoreboard. :) can't wait to get VH and Master Ninja unlocked...

I recognized where all the sounds and graphics from fighters were from, so that's a little sad.
 
hey foolz~!! let's talk about Guilty Gear!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

shyt wont work anymore...

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

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

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

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

Chacrama, u said GG is your favorite game and u're good at it, spit sum knowledge yo. I'm hungry to learn.
 
Yo, sorry for the late reply JEKKI... the con is completely sold out already :(

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

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

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

Still, I haven't played much AC, but I've had to revise a lotta my tactics. Which is too bad.
 
flying high into the air makes u vulnerable tho...

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

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

[quote name='MarkMan']Yo, sorry for the late reply JEKKI... the con is completely sold out already :([/QUOTE]

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

EDIT:

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

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

Yeah 63214S for Axl is mainly an ender move, but sometimes you can use it as throwbait when you TK the move.

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

or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anji OCV too!

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

1st video Anji plays similar tricks to what I used in XX sans all the new moves... 2nd vid dood plays totally different! like, I really wanna relearn Anji too, he looks dangerous!!
 
I wish I could get better at GG. For some reason it's not a really heavily played fighting game around my group of friends.

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

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

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

Guilty.

Word. I'm always down to play Gears, HF and 3S on XBL. Problem with Gears is that I haven't bought the new maps yet.

I haven't been on XBL much since I'm just waiting for Blue Dragon to drop.
 
New maps haven't been an issue for the CAG matches we've been having on Wednesdays. But yeah, git on dat Xbox Live, son. You're like a ghost recently.

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


Jam OCV

[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=71iqSj8goUQ[/media]

Yeah, the wallslam loop (also called jamming loop to some) does ridiculous damage.
 
SmallWind u play any other doods as well??

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

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



:drool:
 
Are there really that many Potemkin players? Never even come across one of those. Most common fewels I play round here play as Eddie, Johnny, or May.
 
there's a lot of good Potemkin players, he had quite a significant user base back in my orange county cgl apex days.

but yeay, when I showed up to prevo-west there was a dood playing Pot in the tourney
 
Huh, well that's a bit unexpected, but interesting.

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

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

i sure hope they weren't using the machines at nickel city....them's be broken, unless they were playing GGXX (not reload, slash, or w/e.
 
Evo's using Slash, but wouldn't they be playing the console versions? I thought I heard they did a team tourney coz they had to import all the copies of Slash.

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

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

Hmm... I'm gonna be a little pissed if it's a team tourney again next year, though I think I'd participate anyway.

Oh, and I got Melty Blood Ver. B today. Neat!

I'm sure you could find some team mates if you hang around the SRK boards. Or do you have friends that are way good at GG?

Post dem impressions of Ver. B when you get the chance.

My friends aren't way good at GG... they're good, but Evo good? Doubtful. Wouldn't really want to play with some random SRK people though... that'd be weird.

Melty Brud Impressions comin' up.
 
MBAC Rev. B doesn't work under Vista, at least for me. It freezes when it loads a fight, even under XP compatibility mode. Works fine under XP, so no biggie. Dual boot FTW.

Has anyone here been able to play it on Vista?

Merruty Brutto - Acto Cadenuzah!

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

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

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

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

What does the 1.1 patch fix?
 
Oh yeah, forgot to mention -- the AI has gotten a massive upgrade. On the default difficulty, the AI's pretty vicious and dishes out some surprisingly nice combos. I was happy to see that, since before, the default difficulty gave you braindead enemies for the first half of the matches you play and then ramps the difficulty up a ton.

I love this game.
 
Rec'd NGBC today.

Also Dondonpachi DOJ and Mushihime Futari OST.

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

Nice to hear. The PS2 MB is a cakewalk unless you have White Len as your final boss.
 
ahhh...the joys of boss I-no when you're a GG noob. I beat her once as Jam (after a million tries) but she seems downright impossible with Baiken.

To be fair, the boss is as bullshit as they come.

the regenerating energy is what really seals the deal. not to mention the 2x lifebar and supers that do 90% damage :)
