Ah, a fine crop of games! I'm seriously low-level (haven't played any fighter seriously since Alpha 3, although I spent some time on MvC2), but if you want someone to beat the crap out of who would be willing to learn how to play most of those games better (my GGXX has really gone down the tubes, save with Ky), my handle is First Chair. I'm mostly on playing Halo 2, if not off somewhere else sleeping like a log. I pretty much have GGXX, SVC Chaos, and Anniversary Collection going at times.

I know I'm missing SF Collection, I'm expecting that for xmas.[/QUOTE]I'll definitely be up for some action in the near future. Out of those games I've got GGXX, DOAU, and SvC Chaos, and I plan on getting KoF eventually. And when you get SFAC I'll definitely be up for that.

I should fall into the "easy opponent" category but I won't mind because I'll just be glad to finally break some of these games in. I haven't even tried most of them online yet (just haven't got around to it). We should get a CAG lobby going in DOAU... I've been itching to try out the DOA lobby system because it sounds like the closest thing to a genuine arcade atmosphere this side of the online age. Allowing a rotating series of opponents to spectate and chat is just brilliant! It's awesome in Kaillera and probably even sweeter on a game that officially supports it.
 
I'm so mad that 360 doesn't support DOA: U backwards compatibility...... I don't want to go to the room that has my Xbox... :thumbsdown:

What does the 360 support? Halo and Halo 2?

[quote name='Rodimus Donut']CvS 2 is online for X-Box? I never knew. My GT is Rodimus Ramen. Over the years I've grown more fond of ramen other than donuts.[/QUOTE]

Yep! first online fighter ever.

i'll add ya-- probably be on a bit today and late night tonight (12 or 1 central, depending on when i get home)
 
[quote name='Rodimus Donut']Hey Apossum, I'll play now if you're online.[/QUOTE]

unfortunately, plans changed and I'm downtown tonight without my 'box. I might be back tomorrow, if not then i'll definitely be on sunday.
 
[quote name='Rodimus Donut']BustaUppa - I'll go on now and play some DOA if you're ready.[/QUOTE]Ah, sorry, I wasn't around... but it was for a very good cause... on Friday night I somehow stumbled upon some Capcom vs SNK 2 competition at a local mall!!!! The arcade scene is dried up and dead on this part of Long Island, so needless to say I was stunned.

There was some promotion going on at Gillians... $10 for a movie stub from a nearby theatre, so I just planned on running in and getting some cheapass credit (they use this weird card system instead of tokens or quarters). No one there seemed to know about the promotion, which was a bummer... but before I left I noticed a frigging CROWD around the CvS 2 cabinet. Now I'm no expert at CvS 2, I pretty much use the same 5 guys (all of them on the Capcom side), but it had been YEARS since I had seen a legit crowd around a fighting game. No way I was gonna pass this up.

So after this one guy destroyed everyone for a while, I stepped in and gave it a shot. And oh baby, the instict kicked in and it was ON. Great, competitive match, and finally the crowd "oooohed" as this silent newcomer managed to take the reigning champ DOWN! Ahhh, what a rush. The guy promptly continued, and came back to beat me, in another close match. Some other people joined in and fought against him (as the crowd grew BIGGER... this was awesome). I rotated in every now and then for some reeeeeeally close fights but couldn't manage to beat him again. The guy had a really good streak going on now, but according to him I was the best competition he'd had all night (awesome :D). After a while I FINALLY managed to kill his streak with my Honda/Chun Li/Ken team in another sweet match. Heh heh, unfortunately it was late and the crowd had finally dissipated by then, so I was just left to fight against the computer. But man oh man... words can't explain how refreshing it was to get some legitimate ARCADE action going. It's like some kind of PRIMAL feeling, man!

what groove do you play?
 
BustaUppa - That's awsome. It's rare in America when you find some decent competition in an "actual arcade." Don't worry about missing the fight, I check back Monday morning to see if anyone wants to play.
 
hey guys... what's up with microsoft hating fighters for their 360??? it's pretty much backwards compatible with everything but any of the fighters... weird.

one thing I want to bring to note, and I am thuroughly impressed with is the game Ryu Ga Gotoku. Think of it as a sort of shenmue with a larger emphisise on fighting than doing remedial tasks. Ign has some good articles on it:

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/674/674424p1.html

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/668/668341p1.html

if I do get my hands on a good swap magic I may import this. Sounds pretty kick ass.

Also, yesterday my friend dropped by and he let me play Shoalin Monks for a bit. Sad to say the fighting is actually better and more enjoyable than the latest MK games. The vs. mode feels alot like all the good old MKs mixed with Smash Bros gameplay. I'll either buy it or borrow it off my friend, unless I pick up urban reign before then.
 
I just got Ryu Ga Gotoku the other day, A W E S O M E.

Nothing like Shenmue, it's 100 x more fun. And I loved Shenmue I & II. You should import it. While you won't really understand the specifics in the story, you can pretty much understand what's going on. And I'm sure someone will translate what is going on on gameFAQs or something.

Pretty easy to get into.
 
again, with the bad double posting... awsome BustaUppa. The best crowd I can get where I am at my campus is either for Naruto (bleh! kill the damn anime!) or SCIII... Tekken 5 is just built up with about 4 guys that are really good top players (including me... it's the truth... but... whatever... I'll shut up...) and a few decent guys... but that's it. The 2d competition down here is amazing, btu I can't hold up anything to these guys. Maybe I need to practice my 2d stuff more...? any tips?

Me and a friend enjoyed Monks also. It's a really fun co-op game. I like the over the top violence. We'd sit their and try to juggle someone in the air for as long as we could. I think are max combo was in the 70's or something.

Played Kuma in some KOF 2K2. We were about even I think, it's cool playing someone that knows what they're talking about and doing. Sadly I'm having a conflict with my d-pad and the lag. Getting used to the lag seems hard for me.
 
I was bored.

nice one silverpaw.... now all that needs to be done is that capcom needs to start producing the UMDs for this game...

hey, at least we're getting SFA3. It's my favorite 2d fighter anyway, even if it's alot les flashy than SvsC2.

I actually am wondering why SNK/Playmore hasn't started porting their games to the PSP... I think it would actually sell better than it has on console, due to Sony's hate of 2d on their PS2.

Don't worry about missing the fight, I check back Monday morning to see if anyone wants to play.[/QUOTE]Best thing about this "actual arcade" was that the CvS 2 machine was one of the cheapest (price-wise) games in the whole place. It's actually kind of sad when you think about it, but hey I was stoked that my leftover credit from a few months back was able to carry me through the entire night. And heck, there's still enough on my card to last another night too. All the new-fangled 3D driving/shooting/dance games charge top dollar. For the most part, the stupid credit system just makes you think you're getting a good deal when you're really not... but if your interest happens to be in 2D fighters, you make out like a bandit.

Next time I hope they turn on that Capcom top 100 cabinet... it was out of order on Friday night, but when it's running it's got some of the old SF2's on it.

[quote name='gigan54']haha, I used to like poison too, that is until I read her backstory and all. now I just keep that stuff to myself, I know what she is, but damn does she look good... i feel disgusting now :cry:[/QUOTE]

I thought the one with orange hair (roxy) was the cross dresser and poison is the female. That picture gives poison megaman sized feet though. If you have the capcom collection look up thier bios in the extras for final fight.
 
[quote name='SilverPaw750']You know you'd buy it ;)[/QUOTE]

Oh i would DEFINATLY buy it, i just like to be teased
 
... don't know if this is off topic or not but here goes:

seems the next final fight will be slightly faithful to the series. It's already been confermed (by me... yes... some good old video watching) that haggar and cody are in the game and possibly maki (where the hell is guy?). One of the big brothers (aka hugo clones) apear also complete with pink oufit and leapord print... who knows... poison may even be there too.

I think the whole story goes that cody's younger brother is now doing the street fighting in search for cody himself. Cody has supposedly retired from street fighting (probably due to law problems... hey, the guy's a prison breaker!). There's also a weird drug going around that make people go crazy (what's new?). As long as this dosn't turn out like Beatdown, I'm set to go (but then again, I still want to play Beatdown, no matter how bad it is).

Also, even if the game is horrible, if Rolento makes the transition (as well as hopefully sodom) then I'll put my money down.

as a personal note about the game again, it's kinda odd the turn the series has taken, but it still looks like it will be the crazy final fight/street frighter world. It's just more realistic and more likely to be very grim.

have you ever used rolento in cvs2? hes pretty damn hard to use because he has absolutely no combos.
 
I have actually in cvs2, but remember, I am no top or good 2d fighter player. I do highly enjoy them, even when the competition is way out of my leage. Rolento actually has some sweet little combos, but they're damn short. It's more like you gotta just keep hopping like a crazy ass (ala Vega, except replace the charge moves with twitch moves) and poke/whack people when you hit the ground. I don't play like this, but I don't really give a damn.

I do need someone to train me though in becoming better at 2d fighters. It's kinda weird since I've had to work my way backwards, unlike most people who play fighters. Most top fighter players started off seriously with 2d fighters, wheras I started seriously with 3d fighters...

anyone spend the time with those crazy euro/jap PS2 games published by 303 games that are budget titles? They have a "fighter" where you play as girls dressed in bikinis that look like plastic, and beat the hell out of each other. (note: it's not that bikini battle game for PC...). Maybe I should be the worlds best player at that game...? *sarcasm* (but I do want the game... have no friggin idea why...)

because youre a man.
 
I played Oane Chapara/Zombie Zone. it's pretty freaking bad. the enemies don't do anything. they're dumb slow zombies and you are a lightning fast chick in a bikini with a katana. you have to wait a good 10 seconds while thy huddle around and eventually lunge at you. you just take on wave after wave of zombies while the techno soundtrack thumps along. there are a few combos and your sword is upgradable, but i'd rather have a lobotomy than play through the first level again.. it's worth a download :lol:

sounds a lot like dynasty warriors.
 
the fighter thread deserves a cagcast shout out. even though we don't talk about fighters anymore ;-)

speaking of which, I got a psp today, supa cheap from an eager seller. SFA3 needs to get here NOW!

i'm curious as to how much you payed for it... please tell.

also, i picked up the sf2 ken controller for the ps2 for $10 the other day. I'm still not used to it though, and my zangief game really sucks with it. the vs. series is a whole lot better to play with though, which is always a plus. and i've also tried some garou: mark of the wolves with it too. the special cancels come out at an improved rate now (was 45%, now 75%)
 
Man, I haven't been to the fighter thread in awhile (I've been dealing with some shit lately). :bomb: It's nice to see it pretty active.

I wish if the Spartan is female it would at least be a bit more obvious in the screenshots. She doesn't look that much different from Master Chief to me.
 
one hundo. I couldn't tell if he was a dumb high school kid, a dumb pothead, or both. He complained about the shop offering him 50-75 bucks, then told me $100 :lol: there are 6 dead pixels (only show up on black, thankfully) and it was barebones-- system, pouch, charger and headphones.

I forgot how awesome lumines is!

Anyway, i'm about to hop on to DoA soon. i mean it this time!


Edit: Spartan...i'm kinda indifferent. just another character, hope she isn't broken...I don't believe DoA4 exists any way. it's all lies spread by the government to get you to buy kasumi gel mouse pads and love pillows.
 
hope you sort out all of your shit guile.

apossum - that's a pretty slick deal. good job!

i'm going to go play some garou now :) i should be doing some homework but...meh.

All I'll say is that things will either work out or they won't and I'll just have to deal with it either way. That aside, I think I 'll try to get some Xbox Live fighting in either tomorrow or Saturday so that should take the edge off a bit. :)

Apossum said, kasumi gel mouse pads...that kind of took the edge off already! :lol:
