im thinking about getting a mod chip to play some import kof games. what are fun ones and where can i get them at a decent price?
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']I wish Samurai Shodown IV was in that package. I loved the Bust/Slash modes.

In regards to X-box pads, I have the SF Anniversary controller and I think it is better than the regular Xbox controller. It did take me a little while to get used to it. The only other one I have tried is a PS2 controller via a converter but then you lose headset capabilities.[/QUOTE]

What games do you play with the controller? I'm haveing a difficult time pulling off some moves like the Potemkin Buster (qcb,f+1.) And qcf moves seem alittle stiff. Does the controller need to be broken in more?

I have been using it with CvS2 and SFAC mainly. I don't recall having much trouble with my Guile pad. I used to have a hell of a time pulling moves with the regular Xbox pad. I tend to use charge based characters though so I may not run into the same issues that you have.
 
Though I probably can't offer much or any cash for it, I may be interested in your KoF2k2/2k3 Rodimus. Shoot me a PM and check my TL to see if anything's possible.

I really didn't like the Xbox controller for 2D fighters when I owned my Xbox... Personally, I would think the best choices are to go with either an arcade stick or one of the SFAnniversary controllers.

Ack, I could never figure out any of the charge characters.

I play my best with E.Honda for some reason. I actually play better with him than Guile. I don't use Blanka much though.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']The beta test info is at www.VGONetwork.com check the new Dark Resurrection article. [/quote]

Whoa! that's about a half hour drive from me...if they still have it there after i finish the semester, I'll go check it out. Any idea how long they'll keep it there?

@ those wishing me good luck-- Thanks! I'll totally get one, even if I have to wait another 10 hours in the cold. This time it'll be different, i'll be armed with a sleeping bag, ear plugs and a flask of whiskey. I'm not a heavy drinker or drug user, but last week, around 3 AM, I would've killed for a bong hit or something to put me out of my cold misery. :lol:

[quote name='Burrito']Why would you want DOA4?[/QUOTE]

because it's a totally shallow fighter for n00bs. but actually I'm only interested in the big, bouncy tits, panty shots, and amazing graphics. it's like a soft-core tech demo for my new system. :p

Heh! :)
 
i'm showing my true colors. ;-)


speaking of which, i'm about to get on XBL, probably some SF:A and DoA. i don't have mic though, using my T5 stick, so sorry if i seem mute :)

I might try to get on before I go to bed. Not sure yet.
 
Apossum: Not sure how long it's going to be there. The guy in charge doesn't have a set date. Check with me when your semester is over and I can check if it's still there, or you can call yourself. :)

I'm looking forward to getting some DoA4 games in with any of you guys. Hope the lag isn't like some DOAU games.
 
...???

I am on the same boat as Apossom: it's my digital version of softcore porn (am I the only person here who thinks Christie is frickin hot?). But it's not as bad as people say really, it's just not deep enough, that's the only problem. oh... and the same goes for rumble roses for me, except nothing is good at all about it other than the girls.

Knowing how much south florida sucks I doubt I'll see a beta testing for T5DR down here... meh... oh well. I'll wait for the VF5 beta testing to come down here... never.

Dude, just watch real porn. It won't cost you 50 bucks for a copy in fact you can get it in abundance for free just about anywhere on the net), you get full frontal nudity and won't be cockteased by strategically-placed hands and camera angles, and you know, the women actually exist =P

My problem with DOA is mostly the engine. It feels like the poor-man's Virtua Fighter. They took everything about that game and watered it down and made it into a counter-fest. And the aformentioned selling-point of virtual clevage does nothing to sway my opinion either.

Rumble Roses....I can't comment on it. I own the game but have yet to try it out. What attracted me to it the most was the fact that they used the engine from THQ's Smackdown! series, and I was always a fan of that. I've heard that the game was lacking in modes and hell, even a Tag Team option, but I'll make a final judgement on it when I play it for myself.
 
Been playing alittle DOAU and I'm having fun unlocking everything. The game is based on a "pick-up-and-play" basis. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But I was watching G4 a couple weeks ago and saw a program praising DOAU for being the best 3D fighter, with no mention of VF, Tekken or Soul Calibur.

One question - What's story of DOA? I watched the intro to DOAU and was confused. Maybe I sould get my wife to just translate it.
 
Kasumi and Ayane used to be friends...but Kasumi was chosen as the head biatch, so ayane gets jealous. the guy with the nose rapes kasumi/ayane's mom and the mom had lied to ayane about being her mom and now the other guy has torn sky....fuck, I'm already lost and confused. :lol:

Rodimus-- don't waste your time with single player. The CPU is so unrealistic. it's got ESP for counters.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']...??? [/quote]

if you're confused about my previous post, I was just being a smart ass to burrito :lol:
 
Haven't been to these threads, so excuse me if this was discussed:

Has anyone watched the new Street Fighter anime yet? I liked it, but it was received poorly by just about everyone.
 
i guess theres never going to be a good alpha movie.

has anyone played kof 2003? the graphics look so smooth and hi res-y.

So Raidou and Tengu are the same guy? I still don't know why Ayane killed Helena's mom, why Leon's lover died, hell I don't get anyones story. Still I'm gonna unlock everything.

2poor - Wasn't impressed with 2K3's graphics at all, and I'm a huge SNK fan. Still plays great, that's what matters. Altough I prefer the classic 3 on 3 Team battles instead of tag. Gato doesn't feel like MOTW's.
 
ayane didn't kill helena's mom, I'm pretty sure it was Bayman... and Raidu and Tengu are not the same guy... far from it... And Ayane is more like Kasumi's illigetimate sister... they guy who raped her is Ayanes dad, who appears as the final boss in DOA3.

Leon's story still makes no sense to me... I don't even kow why they made him replace Bayman in the original DoA2...

also, if you're at all interested in Ryu Hyabusa and Ayane's story a little more, pick up Ninja Gaiden, probably the best (or only good) game on the Xbox.
 
As far as fighting games go... fuck a story, that shit is bad for pretty much every fighting game lol.

What's everyone else been playing aside from fighting games?

phoenix wright owns me. and i've recently picked up metroid: zero mission, FFTA, advance wars ds and meteos. too many good games for my ds to be concerned about fighters for a while (maybe that's a bad thing though)
 
I'll whole heartedly agree... the DS/GBA have so many good games out there it's not even funny. I need to pick up Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga 2: Partners in Time today... I still gotta finish enjoying Lost in Blue, Trace Memory, and some others.... I didn't even get Phoenix Wright yet! But I plan on getting it :) !

Too bad handheld fighters aren't too great. I have Bleach for the PSP and it's not really that deep of a fighter but it's fun. Darkstalkers was a joke for PSP. GGXX# R was good stuff though. Can't wait for SFZ3: DU. That should be good stuff.

Right now I am playing Magna Carta on PS2 and Elite Force on the PC.
 
I've been playing Kameo, PDZ on XBL... Tekken 5 here and there. Sometimes SF Anniversary... that's about it though lol.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Right now I am playing Magna Carta on PS2 and Elite Force on the PC.[/QUOTE]

Apparently Magna Carta is supposed to suck. However, Elite Force 2 is total sex.

BTW, do you have the full-sized gif of the TNG guys rockin out? I saw it on ytmnd a while ago, and haven't been able to find it anywhere else.

Games I'm playing: LoZ: Oracle of Seasons, Burnout 3, Onimusha 3 (however, I'm sick of the latest levels), La Pucelle.
 
Oracle of Ages/Seasons was one of my fondest memories of the GBC... good stuff. :)

To keep it fighting game related... SC III got some crazy ass shit... Cassy/Sophie are too good.
 
I'm replaying throught Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls and trying to finish up Ninja Gaiden. After I beat those I'll either start Jade Empire or Tales of Symphonia.

I like Magna Carta so far. It's a lot different from anything else I played though. The battle system is really unique.

I am playing Elite Force 1 right now (God, I love this game). I am in the Frag-Cafe clan. I just got a new computer last week though so now I can play Elite Force 2 as well. Now that I have a decent PC for gaming I might start selling more of my console games.

I do have the full size gif of the TNG guys but it is on my old computer at the moment. I bought a crossover cable to transfer my files from my old Win ME PC to my new XP PC but I couldn't get it working the other night. I am not really sure what the deal is. If I get things straightened out, I'll post it.
 
I've been too lacking in money to really afford getting any games.

The newest game I own has kept me pretty busy though. I got GTA:LCS and really enjoyed (and enjoying doing all the extra stuff now) it... so far my favorite GTA (SA just had too much damn stuff, and VC's islands I didn't like too muh). It also has the best soundtrack in the series.

I got GTA for the PSP due to the fact that the damn DS was getting too much of my time, and I like both systems alot. In a few days I'll be picking up Animal Crossing for the DS... gahh!

If anyone has a GGXX#R for PSP for trade drop me a PM or check my TL. I totally forgot about it, but don't know if I want ot get it since GG:J is comming out on new years day (or so it seems). Also, if anyone is looking for a Rival Schools strategy guide, I may be willing to get rid of mine.

in response to markman about SCIII... the greek chicks (Sophi and Cas) seem the most balanced out of everyone. I like play as Lizardman alot more though, since his style is more in-your-face than Cas and Sophi.

I didn't realize it, but in Japan, Urban Reign is selling pretty well... I'm just waiting for a price drop before I pick it up. I still want death by degress just for story purposes even though I heard it was horrible.

Alot of people seem to not really care about story for fighters, but it's part of the draw for me when playing a fighter... Tekken is my favorite story, even if it is a bit random (kangaroos, aliens, CEO bears, robot men, the devil, and boobs, all in the world of Tekken).
 
The only fighter in which I really liked the story was Project Justice. Everything is so over the top that it works great.

Why in the hell is there no anime for this game?
 
second: why the hell is there no manga of this game? (i don't even read mangas...)

Whatever happend to the announced RivalSchools/Project Justice comic books by Udon? it's been almost 2 years now...?

but yes, GuilewasNK... PJ had a pretty fun over the top story... I'm still surprised capcom hasn't gone back to this series (as well as almost all theri other good Dreamcast games...). I still love beating the crap out of people with my team of Shoma and his bat beating, Ran and her camera, and Burning Batsu with his... uh, fire.
 
Sophitia and Cassandra are no where near balanced... they're too cheap... :( But that's where tier/character to player comes into play.

I think Xianghua is good too, but no where near as effective(ease of application) as she was in SC II.

agreed. I just don't care. i can't believe they are trying to squeeze a movie out of DoA....

Metroid Prime Pinball is filling the Hexic gap. Got 5,548,000 the other night! Still can't beat the artifact temple in normal play. it's nigh impossible to keep track of 10 pinballs and 2 screens at once.

I thought the comic happened but was quickly killed
 
[quote name='Rodimus Donut']Just got my X-Box (not the 360) so I'll be online soon. Picked up Guilty Gear, KOF 2K2/2K3, and DOA Ultimate (watch out Apposum.)[/QUOTE]
If you go online with 2k2 let me know
 
[quote name='Purple Flames']$19.90? Peh. I got it for 13 bucks with free shipping in the trade forum.

Let's hear it for CAG :cool:[/QUOTE]

$10 at TRU, right now. If someone wants a copy, let me know, and I'll hook you up.

(GGX2#R, that is).
 
Hey Apossum, are you also registered under the same name on DigitalPress?

So I hear DoA4 got pushed back again lol. That would suck if it got pushed back after the New Year.

capitalist_mao: $10? At TRU? Are you sure? I'm referring to the PSP version by the way, that's what we were talking about all along.

Oh, whoops, my fault. I was refering to the Xbox version. I didn't bother to click on the Play-asia links :p
 
Hey Mark, X is still strong too, stronger than her SC2 version I believe.

She still has her old bread and butter...except now it's REALLY safe. 3B, 33KA juggles into spinny mixups. Her A's are the fastest in the game, only matched by Taki.

And of course,

66A+B~G, which avoids SOO much stuff. You have a character that can't track (Raph)? Expect to DIE.

Yeah, that's me over there.

DoA4....what's doa4? it doesn't exist, you can't prove anything... ;)

every game they have released has pushed back 3-6 months from it's original release date. It sounds like they will take their time with 4, now that they've missed the launch anyway.
 
[quote name='Kuma']If you go online with 2k2 let me know[/QUOTE]

Will do, gimmie a couple weeks, I gotta get X-Box Live.

As for stories in fighting games I agree I don't care, only a couple fighters have decent stories. But DOA's story is very confusing. Speaking of DOA I just unlocked everything in DOAU2. I did the collecton way which only took me about 4-5 hours. Thats better than beating the game 120 times. *yikes*

Besides fighters I've been playing Ninja Gaiden Black (best game for the X-Box.) and Dragon Quest VIII.

A couple weeks away from Samurai Showdown V. Anyone else gonna pick it up?
