[quote name='MarkMan']Yo, that vinyl is mad limited, I was only able to get one from seth.. X_X[/QUOTE]
Damn, I got a special place for Vinyl :(

Where the hell did Jekki nab that hat from? I think I've seen it before but I don't remember where :bomb:
 
[quote name='LostRoad']GMotW hands down. It is the best KoF game to date and one of the best fighting games on top of that.

So who is getting MvC2 this week? I was thinking about passing, but now I'm going to pick it up when it comes out.Mainly because my dc stick is crapping out and I really just don't feel like messing with the damn thing right now to replace whatever is wrong or buy a new one. Rod,Bomber,Phrosty you three going to nab it?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'll get it.. but I was never really good at Marvel so you guys are gonna have to teach me how to play. :]

I guess that whole MvC2 retail box thing aint gonna happen huh? I was kind hoping to get one for Xbox.. as I still have a $15 gamestop gift card. :(

Glad to hear you're having fun. Sucks for me being home sick due to the EVOla virus. :drool:
 
[quote name='Jest']Can you play online in SFIV PC with modded characters? Do they show up as modded on the opponents screen?[/QUOTE]

You can, though I dunno if it's technically allowed. They won't show up on the opponent's screen unless they have the same mod. If you mean characters with changed movesets though, then I dunno.
 
I brought in my 360 to work and one of my co-workers thought KOF XII looked horrible. So I got into a nice little arguement about 2D vs 3D.
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']I don't think KOFXII looks that great either. Pretty pixelated.. especially compared to BlazBlue.[/QUOTE]

Or SFIIHD Remix for that matter.

I said that in the KOF XII thread I made in the 360 forum as well. The animation itself looks great, but the sprites are average compared to the above mentioned titles. A step up from the old KOF sprites yes, but the still images in magazines and online sites looked better than the actual game.
 
After having my two friends over - who are KOF fanatics - they like the new KOF. Their main complaint much like everyone else is the lack of characters and barebones single player experience. I saw him play some Online and it was flawless till the guy decided to rage quit.

Our local Gamestop had 8+ copies Friday when the came was out and is already down to one, so word has gotten around that Gamestop has gotten the game earlier (our Best Buy didn't have it) and is selling out quickly. However, I think pretty much everyone that wants this game is going to buy it in the first week or two, then sales are going to be pretty bad and we'll all see the game have some pretty low prices in the next month or so. Infact, if you go to Gamestop's website a used copy will run $49.99 - combined with your EDGE card that can be a nice grab.
 
KoFXII looks solid.... Like Phrost, I can't find a filter that I like. I really dig the gameplay, although I've tried 2 online matches and both were not very smooth. The game also has annoying achievements :(

Rolento, I'll help with the combo vid if you want (particularly if it's XvSF :))

Also, I'm definitely for sure picking up MvC2 on XBLA this Wednesday (I might even wait up for it, the last game I did that for was Hyper Fighting haha.) Can't wait. If anyone wants to gameshare the PSN version, I'm down for that too.
 
Who's ready for a "'fun'-at-GameStop" story?

So I was at a Gamestop in a mall this afternoon when I spotted a lone copy of Super Street Fighter II: Revival for the GBA. I ask someone to get it out of the case so I could find out how much it was since it wasn't marked on the front. The guy gets it out and it's $8, so I immediately say "I'll take it". Get up to the register, guy rings it up at $8 and change and I give the guy a twenty(since I didn't want to touch my debit card until I had to). Guy takes it and gives me my change....$1 and change.

"Um...I gave you a twenty."

"I thought you gave me a $10?"

So what happens then is that the guy has to count the money in all of the registers to figure out if there was a $10 discrepancy in their numbers. Of course, they don't find any. I knew I had $21 in cash with me since I bought season 2 part 2 of School Rumble on DVD for $18 after a Best Buy rewards zone gift card. I even called Grand pappy Swim to double-check and make sure he gave me a twenty for some yard work I did.

"I definitely gave you a twenty."

So after standing there at the counter for a half an hour, the guy asks me for my contact info so he can call me after they do their end-of-the-day numbers and let me know if they found the missing $10. He says that they take these kinds of things seriously and said that if they made a mistake, they would try to rectify it by giving me a gift card or putting it towards a pre-order. So I get my game and head over for the Build-a-Bear Workshop(where the rest of my party was) and realized that I didn't get a receipt-so back to GameStop I go and the guy there says that he forgot to give me my receipt back.

Back to Build-a-Bear I go where, after an hour and a half, both SwiMom and her boyfriend's daughter had finally settled on outfits for their bears. After paying and me making a joke about tossing myself off of the upper level and saying it would damage a display car, we head off down the mall. SwiMom's boyfriend stops us at a "electric cigarette" stand to check them out(he's a regular smoker). Not being a smoker, I was leaning against a wall while waiting for them to finish up. I throw on the BlazBlue soundtrack to kill time and after about 10-15 minutes I get a surprise.

The guy from GameStop first went to B-a-B to find me and then went searching for me through the mall. He had found that they were $10 over when they added the numbers for both of the main registers. He explained everything to me and handed me the missing $10. I shook his hand and thanked him for doing that.

He actually went searching through the mall to find me and fix the mistake.

That was unbelievably awesome of him to do that.

And to top it all off, I got a XBL points card today with a $5 gift card at Target in preperation for MAHVEL BABY! What a day! I think that post is going on my CAG blog once I'm done writing this post.:lol::lol::lol:

---

So I just tried out the copy of SSF2TR and everything is unlocked, all of the extra modes and artwork, and I was wondering if there is any way of resetting the data? I checked the options, but the reset option in there was for the settings, not the data.

Siba.


3. In the 1994 live action Street Fighter Movie what is Ryu's last name?

Hoshi.


4. From his ending FMV in Tekken 2, who destroys Jack-2?

Dr. Abel.


5. What fighting style does Blue Mary use?

Sambo (variations of, such as Combat Sambo, were accepted.)


6. Of the original 8 Street Fighter II characters which 2 does Seth from SFIV not mimic?

E. Honda and Blanka.


7. What's incorrect about this statement: "Genjuro Kibagami was first introduced in Samurai Showdown 2."?

Showdown should be spelled Shodown.

14. Who is this a move for in MvC2 "LP,HP,b,LK,HK" ?

Hayato (the Black Hayato Level 3 super.)


Watching the SF: Alpha anime. Not bad.

Enjoying KoF XII as well, although I know others aren't. Although KoF XI is probably my all-time favorite KoF, I enjoy the change of pace that KoF XII brings. It's a slow-paced, more old-school fighter. When the connections are good, the online play is a blast. The arcade mode, as many have said, is pretty bland. I also wish it had the color select menu that SF4 and BB have. I dig the changes made to Ralf and Clark (it's interesting to see Ralf lose the backbreaker command throw.) They remind me of 2D Gears of War characters with the way they look lol. Anyway, anyone on here hit me up for some games. I'm down anytime.
 
Thinking about using this for my TE...
street-fighter-ultimate.jpg

I'd like it changed to purely black and white, with just the gloves being red. What do you guys think? Feedback / alternate suggestions welcome and appreciated, I'm looking for some T.E. art that is predominantly white and black, with a bit of red.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']King of Fighters XII looks great. People are complaining to complain.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I'm with SL4IN. No reason to complain unless ur a HD graphics freak.[/QUOTE]


There is nothing wrong with expecting the best in gameplay, sound, or graphics in 2009. It is a valid criticism. Also, I don't have a history of complaining here to hear my own voice. When a game makes a selling point of having a graphic overhaul it is completly reasonable to compare it to other games on the market and critique it.

Will I stop playing the game because of it? No. Heck, I downloaded Samurai Shodown II and Garou and they are quite dated visually.
 
I think some people are not happy with it is because they told us it took 16 months per toon, and this is what we get. We know SNK can do better but they didn't. But I also think RR is right when he said this is a pass over game. ( Or I think it was RR, one of you fucks ) Seems they are just testing the waters with what works , and 13 will be better, or we can hope. The game isn't bad though, but when we have had two back to back hyped fighters this can seem like a let down.

On a side note, for those that do have it. Is that Billy Kane on the France stage in the background?

When the camera scales back the sprites look fine, it's when it gets close-up that the pixels get very noticable. Perhaps for XIII they can keep the sprites as is but lock the camera at a more pulled back position. I already think the characters are a little too big for my tastes anyways, especially the bigger characters like Raiden & Goro. Simply massive.

As for the filter I have it at +1. Still I don't see much of a differance.

GGs to Monsta & Guile. Once more people get this game maybe we should hold a tourney.
 
[quote name='Dandeschain']I'll be jumping on live for some KOF in a minute, gt is Danmagz. Who's down for some matches?[/QUOTE]


It'll be a bit before I jump back on Live. We are under a severe thunderstorm warning and I don't want my system on in a lightning storm. I'm typing this from my netbook while on the battery.

so far I got one person... :lol: who else wants to step up?

also, Jimbo, PM me that ryu artwork. I can do some quick stuff with it to maybe get what you're looking for.

lastly, I'll get MvC2 but not till later due to me being gone the next few weeks at a technology expo (any new orleans FGT crew?) so I'm glad it got delayed on PS3 since I'm in no rush.

GG's to Rodimus and Guile. Yeah we really need to hold a tournament for KOF, no matter how bad I suck at fighting games I would to participate and be a potential upset. Also glad to see the love for the 360 since I don't have a PS3. lol.

Try the Virtua Fighter anime series.

English dub.
 
Bought KOFXII for PS3 despite the bad reviews.

Hopefully I'll get a chance and get familiar with the new changes soon. Only played KOFXII for maybe 10 minutes while my girlfriend was over and we switched over to SFIV.
 
Nice SF4 matches Phrosty. I'm surprised you didn't know that the player who Ultras 2nd usually comes out the victor. :cool:

Also, When I was playing Blanka, My Ultra never came out properly. it always seemed to go into a crouch. :\ Any tips?

It went into a crouch? Iunno that sounds weird.. I would just go into practice mode... his ultra is just like every other charge characters.

Hold d/b for two seconds, f, b, f + 3 punches. I use a TE stick and disabled the last 2 buttons on the right side.

:p

well on that note, bumped into a guy I saw today who had an EVO bag... apparently by what he is saying most of south florida fighters kinda disappeared a few years ago but SFIV has brought them back out.

He told me of the new hang out where all the south florida crews go. I've got the guy's number and plan on heading out.

I'm pretty happy about this since I've been meaning to rehook up with some lost rivals.

this might actually mean I'll be good at fighters again lol
