[quote name='asianxcore']Just a heads up for anyone here who was anticipating (like myself) the PS2/JPN release of Arcana Heart 2.....

Word is on SRK that the game is not only a version behind but has slowdown/lag (even on Normal Moves).[/QUOTE]

A version behind and slowdown? PASS! I was going to import it, but not now. >_>

[quote name='PhrostByte']360. I wasn't aware that the PS3 could play games.[/QUOTE]

Oh snap.

EDIT: *sees no PSN ID* ah
 
So Loli Fighter 2 is a shitty port? Not that I really cared about it anyway.

We love you hank! Well, I do anyway.. Jim told me he wishes you were dead.

I got Battle Fantasia in the mail today.. I kind of want to play it but my girl should be here soon... hmm... sex or a new fighter.... tough choice.[/QUOTE]

Aw.

Dood, that's a no brainer. Battle Fantasia all the way.
 
[quote name='Dandeschain']One of these nights, I wanna play some of you guys in some KOF 02 GGPO. Who plays KOF around here?[/QUOTE]

I do, but I'm not as good at the old school ones anymore. I miss when KOFXI was still being played pretty frequently around here.

If you ever wanna play on GGPO, just let me know.

Namco is still interested in doing a Tekken vs. VF title, according to Tekken 6 director Katsuhiro Harada.

Namco has openly expressed its desire to bring the two genre-leading heavyweights together on several occasions in the past – a desire that’s not gone away.

Speaking to 360 Gamer, Harada said that a Tekken vs. VF game had come so close to happening on a few occasions, that Namco had even tested elements of the gameplay that could go into such a game.

“The truth is that I have been working to fulfil this dream from over ten years ago,” Harada replied, when asked if such a game could happen.

“There were several occasions on which it came close to realisation. Opinions may vary, but I have wanted to do this for a long time. Therefore, the chance is not zero. It is possible.

“However, there would be many difficulties during actual development. First off, which team would develop it? I have some ideas for the controls and fighting system. Some parts have even been tested.

“It’s really up to the fans and whether they want it. If you have opinions about this, please send them to me!”

Harada didn’t mention how things were looking at the moment. But with Mario & Sonic at the Olympics having done well for Sega, hopefully we’ll see its other great franchise given the chance to link up with its biggest rival.

they are in ground state, even tho it looks like you're in the air. so essentially yea they can FA, but you can throw them too lol.

Ah, so even though visually it looks like they're in the air to the game they're already in ground state? Makes sense. I must figure out the applications of this!
 
I'd like to see Tekken characters utilizing the VF movement and I'd like to see VF chars using Tekken style system based attacks.

It'd be fun. Or Boring Groove and Masher Groove. Take your pick!

that'd be sweet... VF kinda has a light bound system already...

I wonder who would rival who? Jacky vs Paul?

definitely King vs El Blaze (almost called him El Fuerte)
 
No way... King vs Wolf...

El Blaze can play with Armor King or something.... might as well do this with the rest of the cast...



Sarah vs Nina
Jacky vs Law
Taka-Arashi vs Ganryu
Kage vs Raven/Yoshimitsu
Shun-Di vs Lei
Lau vs Heihachi
Pai vs Asuka
Jean vs Lars
Goh vs Dragunov
Brad vs Steve/Bruce
Akira vs Kazuya/Jin
Jeffrey vs Armor King/Jack-6
Vanessa vs Bryan?

And... Tekken has too many characters compared to VF...
 
Yay... update.. yay...

Battle Fantasia first impressions: I like it a lot... although all Arc Systems games pretty much look the same, the graphics style is uniquely fantasy-ish and colorful. Also, the 2.5D definitely works. I'd say I like it more than DOA, KOF, and Guilty Gear, but less than SF, Tekken, and VF.
 
FGT chat would be cool, I wasn't around for it before I think.

Q: Do all Arc games use the

layout?
 
I'm at my wits end and getting so frustrated that I'm developing a scrub mentality but dear God how in the world am I supposed to defeat Zangief with Balrog in SF4? I can handle the throws, most zangief players can't even get one off me. It's the lariat, I just can't deal with it. Even the terrible giefs who just abuse it beat me and it kills me. I have some success zoning with standing jab and low rush to punish lariats, but all it takes it one knockdown and I'm being crosssed up and reminded just how terrible Balrog's headbutt is now (half the time they block that shit while landing or lariat beats it).

I can handle the Balrog vs Zangeif matchup just fine in SF2 and Cvs2, but not here.

The Buffalo Headbutt should be one of Zangief's weaknesses. You should also learn the timing of the lariat so you can either jump in and get frame advantage or just hit them at the last possible moment. It takes a little while to get used to but once you do, that match isn't so bad. Now a good Zangief player will still be scary as hell.

Jump in deep roundhouse beats the lariat, make sure Balrog's fist hits around Gief's head. Once you get a lead, turtle like a bitch. You have no reason to get close anymore. If you're having problems with crossups, just backdash on wakeup.

This is a tough match for Balrog though. You just have to play smart and be sure to hit your links consistently.
 
Thanks guys! I just lost to another 'gief but it was close (I rushed him like an idiot towards the end) now I at least know I have more option to use against him.
I still can't believe how well turtling works in this game.
 
Ugh, so tired of randoms online. I want to build a time machine to see if when I first got into fighting games (SF1= giant cab) if I ever spoke the way online scrubs do.

I wish new players would get that blocking and tech throwing do wonders.

Won an Abel/Vega match and got called "cheezy" because I hit the square button 8 times in a row.

Who the fuck talks like that?
 
I went 1-17 against a guy in player matches, yet I don't feel bad.

It's pretty cool to know you can bait people into DP's all day with Viper's lk bk though. For some reason they'll know it's coming after a while yet they take the bait anyways.

Free Ultra setups Ftw!
 
[quote name='heavyd853']O shit Oh shit!!!!!


K motherfucking '

and mai! and others in the back!!!!!!


I hope this isn't a lie.[/QUOTE]

They're redone in KoFXII's art style, I don't see why they'd go through the trouble if they weren't being added. Nothing's been officially said yet though. >_>
 
I give up, what are we looking for here?

The character list for XII is unchanged. I wouldn't be surprised to see more characters and unlockables in the console version, but that's still a few months out at least and we don't even know if they will be DLC or off disc.

Keep in mind that it's KOF anniversary so they're gonna make some new art to celebrate.

Anyway, I can't get excited until our man, MM confirms things.

[quote name='distgfx']:cry:

So cruel.[/quote]


Sorry man, wasn't trying to burst your bubble. :lol:

I figure there'll be extra characters like Mai, but that page you linked is just the general (Japan) KOF page and they are doing the Anniversary thing right now. The Official KOF XII page doesn't yet have any info on new/unlockable characters, but I'm sure if there's any console news to report we'll start seeing that kind of stuff then...

True story. I'm all for new players in any fighting game, keeps the community stronger. More competition

Thing is, shit like that is what I get annoyed with. Do we want a community filled with new players who make excuses when they lose. How about players that make excuses when they see tactics they've never seen before. I've always learned to take the losses on the chin and move on. Obviously if you lost, there is always a reason for it right?

If you lose, figure out why you lost and get better. Thing is I get confused because maybe these players don't want to get better, maybe they are just fine beating their friends and showing off to them. Who knows
 
GGs Jest... I have the funniest feeling you don't like Akuma though... :whistle2:k

Your thousand hand slap took off a huge chunk of my life, what'd ya want me to do? :lol:

Those close games though... pure awesome.
 
Yeah GGs. Did you see my reply on PSN? I really do hate Akuma, and I have no idea what I'm doing with Honda, but that last little bit of that fight was awesome.
