TheGreatReptar Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 CS2 actually has achievements on the PSP. There's a lot of new stuff packed into the game. Challenge mode combos are easy as hell though. I finished Noel's and Tsubaki's in about 10-15 minutes each, only getting stuck for a little on Tsubaki's #10 because I can't do double quarter circles on a pad that well. They added in Guilty Gear's survival mode too, pretty much copy+pasted. You also have to level up by playing stuff in order to unlock gallery images, unlimited characters, and colors. Also, new Tsubaki is gross. Now if only they'd hurry and release it on consoles -.-;;
Kazzmat Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Now if only they'd hurry and release it on consoles -.-;; July 2011, calling it.
TheGreatReptar Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) You're probably right. It'll be a month after the announce BB3 too -.-;; Also, the weird input leniency from BBCT portable is gone. 2 then 6 doesn't get you a quarter circle every time now. However, I seem to have trouble getting repeated half-circle inputs to come out. I don't know if it's weird leniency eating the inputs, or if it's just me being bad on pad. There's also shoryuken leniency which is beginning to annoy me. 6236 gets a shoyru, so when a combo is 6C>236B it's kind of frustrating to go back to neutral when you shouldn't have to. On a side note, Hakumen's Renka is now 236B instead of 214B. Thought that was an odd change, but it's nice because now if you mess up TKing Hotaru, you won't get Renka erroneously and burn 2 stars. Since his C attacks are faster now, you also have awkwardly long delays in combos. He feels easier though. Also, Tsubaki dive-whiff combos are hard to do on pad =\ Edited April 1, 2011 by TheGreatReptar
TheGreatReptar Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Rachel/Tager specific combos with Tsubaki are fun. Off of an unblockable, you can do 236C>214B>22B then if you wind up in the corner, you can do 6C>236B>214B>22B or 6C>j.C>jc>j.C>j.236A>j.214A. You can also do the first part off a back throw, then do 6C>236236C. I've already got 2 new favorite combos too. Off of 22D in the corner you can do 5C>2CC>2A>2CC>2A>2CC>j.C>jc>j.CC>j.236A>j.214A. Then midscreen you can do 5BB>5CC>623C>j.236D>j.214C(whiff)>6CC>j.C>jc>j.CC>j.236A>j.214A.
Kazzmat Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Just wanted to double check, is there a gathering tonight, or is everyone still on spring break?
FunkyP Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 We're all back and will be doing the gathering tonight, ppl bring some ps2 games!
Stig-san Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I'll bring some ps2 games next time...but we wont be needing them since you have alpha 3 :D
Deadguy Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 http://shoryuken.com/f6/guard-crush-revival-results-3-30-11-next-level-brooklyn-ny-269992/ I knew I had heard the name dragongod before the stream last night. thanks for playing ah3 with me everybody. please keep playing, i like the game a lot. my lies has already leveled up since last night so I'll be running her next week too.
FunkyP Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Apparently the announced pax date has been pushed back two weeks for arcana, april 19th now
TheGreatReptar Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) You know what we forgot to do Friday? Discuss CEO =\ Also, Chris, I apparently have your headphones case. Edited April 4, 2011 by TheGreatReptar
Eshi Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 You know what we forgot to do Friday? Discuss CEO =\ Also, Chris, I apparently have your headphones case.I was wondering where the hell it went, I have no idea how you got it but I'm glad.
TheGreatReptar Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 I believe Lian Lian had it, then he found John and myself, and gave it to us to give back to you.
BearsAreScary Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Idk if I can make it this Friday but I wanna play more fightin games! After playing some GG with Xif I wanna play it some more, and I wanna play more 3S in general. BB is also always enjoyable so let's play that too! Marvel sux though :/
TheGreatReptar Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8yDE-YRGOU#t=25m23s Can they please just ban Carl already before this shit becomes CT again? 60% Nirvana meter, 25 starting heat, 0 to death on an 11000 health character -.-;; And here's some tier list things List 1: S: Makoto, Tao, Hazama, Jin, Noel A: Carl, Rachel, Lambda, Litchi B: Tsubaki, Ragna, Arakune, Mu, Valkenhayn, Hakumen C: Platinum, Bang, Tager List 2: S: Makoto, Valkenhayn, Jin, Noel A: Hazama, Carl, Tao, Mu, Arakune, Tsubaki, Rachel B: Lambda, Platinum, Ragna, Litchi, Bang, Hakumen C: Tager I like how Arakune, in all his retardation, isn't S tier in either one. Also, anyone know what makes Jin so godlike? I want to say I like list 2 better, but Valk being S, and Litchi being B seem off to me. And for giggles Reptar's list based off nothing: S: Makoto, Hazama, Carl A: Jin, Noel, Tao, Mu, Arakune, Tsubaki, Rachel, Litchi B: Lambda, Platinum, Ragna, Bang, Hakumen, Valkenhayn C: Tager And really I don't think Tsubaki should be A. That's just wishful thinking. Then again, I base this list off nothing. Edited April 5, 2011 by TheGreatReptar
Eshi Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I also like list 2 more other than Valk, I can't see his insanely toned down version still being S tier. Apparently that list is by Goro and doesn't he play lambda? Because that would explain his feelings on valk Everything else seems reasonable, especially Tager being the only legitimately bad character. I'm surprised to see arakune anywhere other than S but the japanese know best. The IB change and new air unblockables must have significantly hurt his ability to escape pressure. Litchi in B makes sense. She still has all of the tools that make her a strong character, but her staff damage is so bad in most situations. Tsubaki 100% looks like an A tier character: she's got good damage, actual oki, easily gained charge, and really sick pressure. God I wish this game would just come out already.
Kazzmat Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Goro jumped to Makoto actually, at least the only videos I've seen of him have him as makoto. Jin has really good damage output, and I guess all his tools got better making him more viable anywhere.
Eshi Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 wow all of the top players are switching to makoto. good thing georgia knows the match-up right?
TheGreatReptar Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 Saying I know the Makoto matchup would be saying I know a matchup, which I don't know any. I just confirm combos with Litchi and finish combos (sometimes). I think my 3 characters I'm going to play are going to be Tsubaki, Mu, and Rachel now, dropping Litchi completely. Tsubaki because she's gross like me, Mu to counterpick Carl, and Rachel because she's rather fun now. Carl's going to be such a pain in the ass though. It's going to be clap loop all over again -.-;; Ivysaur initially said you could only 0 to death someone if you had full Nirvana gauge, which didn't seem too unreasonable. Having to take down over 40% of Nirvana's health before you can afford to take a hit from Carl is going to be insane to try to deal with.
Daysoo Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) I'm in need of some Dante inspiration. You guys got any favorite match vids with him? Also, Paul. Would you mind sharing your Dante combo with me? :o Friend of mine told me to look for vids with PR Rog and Richard Nguyen, but so far the vids I've seen haven't been impressive / recent.

Having to take down over 40% of Nirvana's health before you can afford to take a hit from Carl is going to be insane to try to deal with.Getting Nirvana low isn't nearly as difficult as in CS. She regens more slowly and her moves take off way more life, as the frame data shows. It takes as long as CT for her to come back online too. The biggest differences are that he's not at nearly as huge of a disadvantage without nirvana as in CT, while hitconfirming into LOLUDIE is 10x easier in CT and, as long as you have a good DP plus 50 heat, more characters have options to escape in CS2. Not to mention no one in america other than Ivysaur can play Carl well.
