instead I jus woke up and it's fukkyn noon lol
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']I'll tell you Shoto players what stops me (Blanka player). Keep a distance. Sort of a Guile-esque strategy I know but it definitely works in Shoto vs. Blanka fights. It's really hard to get in close with Blanka (I found myself have to use hop) and all his specials can be countered easily. I hate Shotos and Cammy... ughhhhh.

Actually fighting Akuma's isn't that bad usually but Ken is horrible. And Ryu with that fake fireball? Recockulous.[/quote]
why is it hard to get in?

you can jump over fireballs at mach 9
you have jab rolls to get you closer
you're safe on blocked ball and it puts you close enough, because if he fireballs you get a free jump in, you can walk forward and sweep, slide, man, you got everything

and i can't set up ken's crossup game because blanka's rolls are active on the 1st frame.
 
yay! glad to see Joe and Clark... been gone from CAG fro a few days... blame mostly Thanksgiving and this: http://www.artbaselmiamibeach.com/go/id/ss/lang/eng/

SFIIHD pisses me off less now but I still get aggravated. I was playing early on thanksgiving and I started getting a bit angry. My sister wanted me to stop since she said it was clearly pissing me off :lol:

oh and orochi saga has been out for a while on PSP? wtf? how'd I miss that?
 
I'm jumping on SF HD in a few... gonna try out my s-video cables that just arrived on the Saturn and see how much of an improvement it'll be. I know it's gonna be huge.
 
I purchased SF HD this afternoon, as well some new live to play it on. I'll be on for a little while longer, but then I won't be on again until later tonight.
 
I think after today I'll be adding Blanka to my list of mains.

Lately I've been playing Dhalism, Dictator, Sagat and Deejay only. I played Blanka almost exclusively on Hyper Fighting (ask Rodimus :))

Blanka is too fun in Remix. The balances definitely give him a little more options and I'm free to play him the way I do in CVS2.

Elec (*Bait*) xx Super is too funny :)
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Fei Long is soooooo fuckin' fun to play as. I love it.[/quote]


yeah, agreed (even with bad controller). I planned on him becoming my main or close to main in SFIV so I intentionally meant to spend tiem with him n SFIIHD. good stuff.
 
When Pneumonia put me in the hospital for 2 weeks in 7th grade, I thought I was just dreaming up the Darkstalkers show.

I woke up in the middle of the night in the hospital, looked at the TV and Anakaris was talking to penguins.

Good to see I just wasn't crazy :)
 
Wow, they changed Iori's outfit too. Markman, do you know if they are still adding more chars to the roster, or if there are unlockables (where the heck is elizabeth?!)? The gameplay looks very fluid though, almost as if it were some anime.

Haha, I'm also watching the SFII movie on the anni collection disc. Can't believe they gave Ken an Alice in Chains theme song, fucking awesome.
 
Yea they are adding more, you didn't hear that from me though.

Also! GGS kainzero earlier!

Had to jet... L4D calling me and your reversals were calling me

THRUST KICK
 
ggs markman

that other guy wouldn't leave me alone
i kept trying to quit and he'd start the match before i could leave

if only HD remix had GGPO netcode...
 
I worked Black Friday and I didn't even take my wallet or phone with me. I had a 20 in my little change pocket in my jeans and my ID badges for work and that was it. It's a good think that the fundamentals of this economy suck the donkey nuts because it meant that I barely had to do anything for 12 hours.
 
I keep my wallet in my front left pocket, and keep my hand in it when I'm around randoms. Plus I don't keep much in it, just in case.

Somebody stole my copy of DQIV for NES though when I was young. :bomb: Right out of my house.
 
i changed my text message sound to say

"tiger! tiger! tiger uppercut!"

hahahha it's the best
i feel like such an awesome nerd
 
.....Why is Megatron gold....AND FIGHTING CHUN-LI?!?!


EDIT: Saw this on GAF when someone asked about the SFIV FightPads. You know who it is.;)

It is actually VERY good and it is very friendly with other XBLA games for not having analog sticks. There is a switch that lets you change dpad functionality to either left analog stick, right analog, or dpad. The only thing is if you need both analog sticks at once it won't work out too well.

While I can't really say/explain much at this point, I promise I'll go in depth on the pad and it's features when the time is right.

Like the arcade sticks, a lot of thought/effort was put into the designs and a lot of reasoning why I chose to make them that way.
Click to expand...

I'm glad to hear that the pads are shaping up nicely. I don't think I'll be getting the T.E. stick(can't even afford the $50 reserve price at GameStop, never mind the stick itself.:cry:) so having the pads turn out well is very good news.

Sounds like whoever posted that stuff about the FightPad has no idea what he's talkin about :booty:
 
I think I do... I haven't been around a lot lately and haven't been playing games so therefore haven't seen you on PSN or XBL :p
 
Joe, Clark & Duo Lon are confirmed for KOFXII. Look like Terry Andy & Joe are back togther again.

Terry Andy and Joe may be my team when I play it, with maybe some Kyo thrown in.


Im sad there's no K', SNK done did me wrong!






buuuuut I can live with it till XIII (or console exclusives :eek:?)
 
Yes SIR... KOF XII is gonna be hot.

The streets are watchin... I'll update you guys on some 'stuff' about it when I can. KOF XII is going to see more media/hype than any past KOF in North America. It's gonna be nuts.

FIGHTING GAMES?!

Where'd they come from !?
 
I too hope K' makes it... I've off and on had him as a main... to be honest I've never really sat down to be good with any one KoF character... I'm hoping XII changes that.. expect Ralf.
 
[quote name='akilshohen']I hope Mai is in, that's my main in KOF[/quote]

I would bet money on it. She's stapled in there as much as Terry & Kyo are.

Jump and eat DP? No thanks.
Jab rolls get you closer since you have time to block but the fireballs just keep coming with good Shoto players.
And I would love to have my Blanka balls (that's what she said) blocked by good Shoto players but they always DP right through.
Also, I do sweep and slide a lot with my Blanka. Mix-up is the strongest aspect of my game for sure but I don't like facing good Shotos. I noticed almost of the Shoto players on Remix online are either really good or really suck, I rarely find average ones.. maybe I just suck but they give me trouble.. but Cammy is the fucking worst I hate her so much...

Another thing I started using against Shotos is the hop, but only when desperate.

[quote name='heavyd853']Terry Andy and Joe may be my team when I play it, with maybe some Kyo thrown in.

WTF no K'??? I thought he was supposed to be the new face of KOF. SNK can go fuck themselves he was only of the only characters I was decent with.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']then again she's got alot more T&A to go up against han she use to like Angel and Blue Mary.[/quote]

Mai's always won out over Blue Mary in popularity and Angel never took off like Mai did. SNK tried to have B.Jenet as the next Mai, but they ended up throwing Mai in the console release due to fan outrage.

That said, I do want Mai in KOFXII. Please.
 
I ended up not entering the HD Remix tournament... nobody brought sticks -_- and I got there too late for Street Fighter IV but I got to talk to gootecks from the podcast.

played a shyt load of Blaz Blue tho!!

I was learning Litchi pretty well doing basic shyt and even won 2 matches, until sum korean guy came and killed everyone with her and made me sad coz he knew so much more... he was hella good, he even showed me sum stuff when I played him.

but sum1 managed to beat him, so he switched to Jin, and then Mike Z couldnt even beat him, or at least he couldnt while I was watching. Koreans...

anyway Mike is cool, like he'll kick you ass at game but he helps a lot of players and u can turtle in a match with him and jus mess around trying to learn moves and he wont rush you.

He also said that what makes the game cool is that every character makes you feel like you're playing a different game!

anyway I'm gonna take what I learned today and watch sum vids on Nico, I'll do another write up on gaf about Litchi if u wanna see it
 
heh, I've actually found myself gravitating towards Blanka as well. Hop and Bite all day, baby!

Chun Li's also been a favorite of mine for a while now, although I mourn the nerfing of her flipping knee-neckbreaker (it doesn't cross up like it used to). The new spinning bird kick is hella fun though!
 
Where in SoCal is the BlazBlue cab at JEKKI? I know there is one setup right now up here in SVGL. Gotta head out there sometime in the near future to try it out.

Also there are so many damn Shoto players on PSN.

It's the good Honda, Zangief and Guile players that throw me for a loop.
 
the one I go to is at Family Fun Arcade, japanese setup on a HDTV.

there's one at Denjin too, I donno if it's on a HD set tho.

FIGHTING GAMES?!

Where'd they come from !?[/quote]

I'm really glad to hear that. With all the good fighting games as of late, it seems like just a fair amount of effort in the marketing is all it would need to be successful at retail. Make it a big deal and the sales will follow.

Did I mention I aced a marketing course a year or two ago? Looks like it stuck with me.;)
 
It was kinda funny. Then I got to the end and laughed pretty damn hard.

I love that there's some serious SF players online with this game... they're sometimes elitist and will undoubtedly kick your (or at least my) ass, but you can definitely learn something and appreciate how much skill there is in this game.
 
I'm getting real bad lag on PSN. Anyone else???

I'm doing Quick Match and may have had 3 really good lag-free games. I'm on a Wired Connection and using 6mb cable (time warner). I'm surprised its been this bad.
 
Oh, I started off 18-0 playing Guile....was ranked at 115 i think. There are some damn good people out there. Stupid GGPO! Making everyone good again. LOL.


Now im 30-5 and ranked in the high 200's. I would definitely credit 2 of my losses to very skilled players. The rest was ridiculous lag. One loss to a ryu that practically teleported back and forth and low roundhouse kicked me to death. Another to an akuma that did nothing but air-fireball me :rofl:

Losing to lower ranked players kills your ranking. Its good, but still... :bomb:
