Pretty sure Sakurai is trying his best to alienate the FG community from the next smash. Expect advanced tripping and combo breakers.

Man, awesome day. And DL is finally back up too, lol. Shouts in the other thread.

My couple weeks old Haku performed worse than I'd thought. He changed too much to get used to in so short a time. That said, I'm actually contemplating dropping BB. I just don't have the kind of time needed to relearn a character all over again anymore. Or I might just use someone simple like Ragna or something. Or I might just be demoralized from my performance and I'm exaggerating. We'll see. :(

I play for peak performance though, not trolling. And that takes a lot of time to get good at. :/

Eh, I'll have to give it some thought whatever the case.

I still try to improve.

His changes aren't that hard. Just some new combos and links. It's not critical to use them all anyway, though it doesn't hurt.

Corner combos are easy. Only things that give me trouble are midscreen Hotaru IAD combos and airdashing in general from using my stick.

infinite bursts.

@Blade: It's not nasty: It's tatic and intelligence.

Nasty is ebonics for "very good" or "amazing". Sorry for being unclear there.

Wow hard times steb. I can't believe your stick got stolen. No I'm scared of bringing my stick to majors now :(

new smash.

lolwut

Don't give up bro. I know how you feel sometimes. But haku isn't that bad. He's still manageble, or just switch to valk if anything.

MAT VIII wasn't terrible for me. Stupid stuff happened, but it was a fun day in the end.

@Blade

Just keep the stick around with you, and put something on it that makes everyone know it's yours. Another person who had a plain TE stick had his stolen too.

@kr3w

Lol, I can't imagine how "casual" the game will be. I would still buy it, but the main problem would be wasting money on the Wii-U.

its not gonna come out until atleast holiday 2012 if they couldnt even show a screenshot or a teaser video.

i dont have high hopes, which protects me from being too disappointed.

what I really want : dark souls, zelda ss and third strike online.

Talked to Calm101 on the metro and he's down to come on thursday. I'll most likely be there too.

@Blade: Just ID your stick and make sure to know where it is at all times. Having custom art on it also helps.

I'll actually look into custom art for once. Problem is I'll be lazy to do it, anyways we'll see. That taping your name under your stick is fucking genius though.

Nolan, just keep at it and come to the meetups more man. Real offline practice against opponents is where it's at!

Freakin dustloop is finally back up for realz. Time for shoutouts.

Oh Thursday meetup won't be too early, maybe I can do some overtime tomorrow to leave earlier on Thursday but we'll see. Expect me to open between 5-6 I guess. I'll confirm on Thursday.

New smash bros: maybe if we aren't hype for it this time it might actually be good. unless things don't work like that and you'll end up being able to play your Mii in it or some BS like that. like steb though, still gonna buy most likely.

@Air: ps2 stick, bringit! plz!

@Nini: yeah something like that. You can also MM people if they're up for it, could make your trip cheaper... or not.

@Nolan: I think you need to (re?)watch TTGL! Or just talk to kaeru, it has the same effect.

Oh yeah, Nintendo conference made me jizz in my pants. Wii U isn't the next generation at all, but until the next Xbox or Playstation comes out (which won't happen anytime soon) Nintendo is gonna do well I think.

Also, I need a 3DS when I get a job.

/fanboyism

Oh et je vois que t'es en train d'uploader les vids Pedro, thanks a lot! :)

Pedro: I'll be bringing it. Don't worry lol.

Kirb: You only say that because of the new Tekken game on it. lol.

I seriously think that they've come to a technological limit where improving graphics won't do such a significant difference.

The difference between 8 bit and 16 was big, 16 and 32 was big, 32 and 64 was enormous 64 to 128 was MASSIVE, and 128 to now was big, but nowhere near the levels of the past. I think companies like Square which push consoles to their max aren't even managing to push the current consoles to their max. What's the point of a new gen console if we're just gonna have the same graphics or something only slightly better.

Nintendo probably found that out which is why they decided to release the WII U. Obviously they would know that if they released a system of this gen and their competitors released a next gen system with vastly improved graphics, they would be screwed. Knowing that their competitors can't do that(for now at least) the wii u release makes sense.

Will be getting one if it's a decent price

@Pedro: T'a pu upload sur megaupload?

I totally agree. I was looking at the trailer for FFXIII-2 and was wondering... yo, seriously how much better can graphics get? I mean obviously more processing power means moar polygons, better shading, lighting, textures, etc... but I can't see the jump to the next gen being that significant compared to what we've seen.

Also I don't really care about the new Tekken on Wii U, being a competitive player I need my stick Playstation controller lol.

Will do this afternoon at work before I leave. I couldn't find it yesterday until I realized I had put it on Eb's USB, to free some space for MATVIII.

Hahaha. Games still have a long way to go. They're using a lot of simplifications/approximations/etc. but you can't really notice it because your movement is somewhat controlled, so they can hide stuff you'll never notice. Battlefield 3's engine with destructible buildings, and therefore game physics, as well as textures, applied to even more elements you can play with, should give you an idea of the progress there still is to be done.

If you want an clear example of a simplification, google "bump mapping".

Pretty cool, will most likely get it. I lol'd at the amount of options they're including, but then again, why not?

I'm more hype for KoFXIII though.

Posted

I'll be at the HQ tomorrow.

I practiced AH3 a little if anyone plans on playing that. It's a lot better than I thought. Guess which character I picked, lol.
