... I'll stick to my enjoyment of Astaroth/Tira/Lizardman...
it's kinda weird because I never liked lizardman until SCIII... he finally got fun to play.

Okay, I'm a retard, Yoshi still has his knee, it's 33_99K now.
Here is some Cervy info/testing I came up with...
---
I'm having fun using Cervy so far... Here's what I've been using...
6K, I love the knee. Been using it for keep out.
Here are some combos...
CH 4A, 2A+B, 11_77B
Weird properties with 8A+K gunshot in juggles. They can't AC after it hits. So we were able to get some pretty crazy combos going on.
3B, 8A+K, iGDR
CH 3B, 8A+K, 8A+K, iGDR (now when the iGDR hits after this they sorta float in the air. Depending on how deep the CH 3B hit for the launch or how late you hit the iGDR it refloats them for more followups... Here are some we got after doing the above combo...
CH 3B, 8A+K, 8A+K, iGDR, B~2
CH 3B, 8A+K, 8A+K, iGDR, B
Sometimes they were just too far away for any other followups ;(
But for CH 3B I've been using 8A+K, 8A+K, 2B_2B+K a lot..
---
RnO: Cassie seems fine to me. She still has tools. Not sure how safe she is though lol.
RR: I use Asty too, used him in SC II and III. Haven't messed with him too much in IV but he still has 214 power so I'll be doing that shit all day long.

[quote name='Jest']Have you tried the CAS very much? I would love to hear more because that was my favourite feature of III. Can you make characters that look as bad ass as the real characters? More importantly, are the generic move sets interesting and useful?[/quote]
Some of the randomly generated ones could have fooled me into thinking they were real characters lol.
Haven't messed with it too much sorry. Been doing a lot of testing/finding or trying to at least.
I'll probably bring my copy to work tomorrow and play all day >_

Does the game support 1080p?
My favorite PS3 game is another Namco game Ridge Racer 7. Mainly because its one of the few 'next-gen' games that can play in 1080p and keep a consistent 60 fps. I didn't think it would look much different than RR6, but the higher resolution really helps the game look sharper. The city tracks look amazing.

[quote name='Jest']Before I got my stick I used to use the face buttons of the controller with 2 fingers instead of a thumb, much like a stick. I found that more comfortable. But since I got my stick I can't go back.[/quote] Thats what I was doing when I played SC on XBLA. But it just pretty uncomfortable to me...

I recall hearing that you couldn't. But I could be wrong about that.
If anyone was curious, Play-Asia currently has the Amazon Japan exclusive HRAP3 and HRAP1 in stock:

http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/arcade-sticks/hori-real-arcade-pro-3-amazon-jp-ps3/
Both work perfectly with SC IV. The PS2 one needs a converter; I'd suggest the REAL one:

[quote name='sleepy180']July 20, 2008 - Who is the last spot?
It looks like the last spot is really next to vader/yoda instead of next to the bonus slot (star). And everyone knows how much namco loves DLC (Ace combat 6, Katamari) and how they said they were trying to please all the fans and how much of an outcry there was for both characters to be in both versions AND also on the soul calibur commercial thats playing alot it shows both vader and yoda fighting without saying anything about console specifics.
Conclusion: the last spot is for yoda / vader. You heard it here first!
-sleepy180[/IMG][/QUOTE]
I'm quite confident that this is the case. There were early interviews where the SC team was asked why they made it so that the Star Wars characters couldn't fight each other, and they as good as confirmed DLC, until the PR folks muffled them.
I would have thought that they could just add the box for any DLC characters as part of the download, but maybe not.

[quote name='kainzero']man, i still hate the dual system release
means i gotta wait to find out which is the "tourney" platform before i pick up the appropriate joystick...[/quote]
I'm pretty sure it'll be PS3. Just cuz of the whole ease of converters/arcade sticks.
But then again, who knows... just my hunch...

Oh yeah, the guide come out tomorrow... It seems a little odd it comes out a week before the game is released.
R2-D2?
Is this the last secret character? Or i am mistaken.

I second Markman on this. It would be

And if you still haven't preordered yet (god save your soul) You better hurry to gamecrazy or else all that will be left is the yoda one (bleh!)

Yes that! I was thinking of posting it myself. But I wasn't sure it would be safe. The look on Ivy's face is my favorite part. :lol:

I'm going to stubbornly refuse to believe that Namco won't try to make easy money with DLC characters, regardless of what the party line is currently. Ultimately I don't care -- I'll have to deal with three questionably balanced characters instead of two -- but it's just such a no-brainer ...
Perhaps it'll have no more accuracy than the "Kratos on PS3!" baloney, but:

that's pretty much a confirmation. the game will sell well, and more money to be made is a plus to namco.
too bad that scan is from the march issue of game informer so therefore invalid. These however, are new and from the strategy guide. Too many and too big to post as pictures. And no character shown next to vader. Looks like we got some DLC.
