Bugs in BBCS2 on xbox...

By Guest, in Home,

It's in japanese, but some of them are quite obvious, like Bang's fire punch not wallbouncing correctly. Hopefully they fix this soon...

BBCS2 DLC out now for Xbox360!

By Guest, in Home,

Yes, the day has finally arrived (for Xbox players at least). Turn on your console and first let it download a small 900kb update. Afterwards, you will notice the Xbox Live Marketplace icon has the "New" marker flashing, meaning that the CS2 update is available. It's titled version "1.03" and is about 760mb. Download it, then you can buy Platinum or just start playing CS2 with the previous characters. Do note that you still need to buy other DLC characters (Makoto, Valkenhayn) to use them.

Have fun everyone! In theory the PS3 update should be up in 2 days (but you won't be able to buy Platinum until the store is back up). I'll update you guys when the time comes.

Satoshi confirmed for Revelations!

By Guest, in Home,

I have received word that Satoshi, a top Bang/Makoto player from Japan, is confirmed to be coming to Revelations! For those of you who aren't familiar with Satoshi, he placed 2nd in last year's SBO tournament for BBCS with Bang, losing a close one to Tsujikawa in the final match. With the announcement that Revelations will be having both a BBCS2 main tournament and a BBCS1 side tourney, expect to see Satoshi wrecking shop in both games on June 10-12 at Revelations.

"Meet Your Mod" Episode 14: Kyle

By Guest, in Home,

This Week:
Kyle
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
- Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

It's my name and I generally prefer people's first names over a made-up internet alias: The only real exceptions being legitimate nicknames. Sorry guys, not trying to hurt e-penis's here but it's how I feel about it. So, if I were to answer this question my own context, I would reply," My mother had a celebrity fantasy about (this guy). That's why I am named Kyle."

- What is your background with fighting games...Did you start with BB or are your OG like SFII?

My first competitive FG with strats, combos, execution and a player base was the acade release of Tekken 4. I have good memories of seeing this & SoulCalibur2 at my old arcade in Ashland Kentucky. I've got a sick 14- min Tekken-4 combo video floating around on handheld camcorder tape. (1/2 credit to Jaison in this project): Just gotta get it digital for youtube. An old friend of mine was always hounding us about frame data... I didn't get it. lol Once we get into being competitive with Tekken-4 we met better and better people and we watched the matches become slower w/ more footsies and much less risk. We found this overall boring. About our second Anime-con (because that's where the real fighting games were at) we met a very talkative and skilled player named Kenji Bliss (KBNova). He showed us competitive Guilty Gear. I recall watching JoshFUNKDOCTOR playing casuals with Kenji and my mind could not even comprehending what was going on. I didn't know they were currently roommates and both knew the "rules" (game mechanics) of GG. The one concept we did happen to grasp was competitive GG was much more intense, fast & interesting than footsies Tekken or SF. So, every year we had an annual event of who could get the most damage on Kenji or possibly sneak a win. About this time Dustloop had begun...

- What competitive scene are you involved with? (Ranbats, Arcades, XBL, PSN, Reload Online etc.) Would you elaborate the benefits of this particular scene?

Dustloop contributions- This helps me soo much. I don't have to play out every scenario, but reading other players talking about their mistakes or break-throughs really helps me stay in check when I am going through a unique scenario during a match.

XBL- This is perfect for match-ups, I wish GG had this so America would not lose to "Oki" so badly.

Arcade Legacy- Pay-to-enter "freeplay arcade" in Cincinnatti Ohio. This set-up is amazing and offers the social aspetc of FG's as well as the interested player base to compete, scrimmage & genuinely hang-out. Ranbats and weekly "casuals" are hosted here.

Tournaments- It took a long time to get over the nerves. lol. Eventually, it goes away and you find out just how ADAPTIVE your strategies can be when time is limited.

- How strong do you feel your nation is as a whole, what is the next step to strengthening it?

GG- Weak. We can develop a decent offensive game, but lack real defensive capabilities and the largest majority of match-ups for this unique game. We need on-line play so people get used to fighting most of the roster... wake-up timings, when to bait and when to rush are all dictated by the opponent and what their current resources are.

BB- I feel American competition is stronger than GG and our "Top Players" have really exceeded a level above top GG players. I'm not sure if it's b/c or resources, game simplicity or Netplay: Probably a combination of everything.

For America to take the next-step in our level of play we need to enhance our player base and emphasize communication. How to attract NEW SERIOUS players when the game is "older" and so complicated?

- Which player(s) give you the most trouble and why?

Raekwon owns me for free. He beat me out of every GG tourney for about 2-years... during the prime of Accent Core. lol GG's Bama.

- What has been the most helpful tool while growing stronger in GG/BB?

Late night conversation at dinner over strategy and theory of charater arch's/ playstyle and Dustloop have helped me improve the most.

- Is there anything you'd like to share regarding your respective character or Dustloop in general?

May - I'm sorry we got Brain-dead in Accent Core. She was much more interesting in GGXX:Slash. =/

Carl - You guys make me happy. I feel good knowing we have a strong Carl base here in America. It's great to see soo much activity/theory in the Carl boards and I believe it's a reflection of the success these players have all achieved.

Dustloop - What's the next step to increase out player base? It's out responsibility. Do we need to host entry-level tournaments? This could deter the complexity of the game & possibly entice new players...

"Meet Your Mod" Episode 13: LordKnight

By Guest, in Home,

This Week:
LordKnight
(note that this interview is a couple months old, so you'll have to forgive the lack of CS2 talk)
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

I'm a big Fire Emblem fan. Originally I went as Blade Lord Lyn (people called me BLL) but I got confused for a girl a lot. When I went Smashboards for the first time, I recently finished Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, so I picked the class of my favorite character (Sigurd, he's a fucking boss), and stuck with it ever since.

- What is your background with fighting games...Did you start with BB or are your OG like SFII?

Melee was my first competitve game. My friends at school were the ones that got me into Melty Blood (back then it was AC PS2/React) and GG#R PC, where I played May and Johnny. Originally I thought MB was just a trash game and put a bit of time into GG. Once I saw the MBAC Ver A SBO dvd, I changed my mind real fast and started playing Melty a lot.

- What competitive scene are you involved with? (Ranbats, Arcades, XBL, PSN, Reload Online etc.) Would you elaborate the benefits of this particular scene?

I'm a bit isolated, so I travel a lot to play. I netplay a lot (before it was MBAC, now BB). Doing all this, I think it's best not to completely dedicate yourself to just one venue (don't just be a netplayer, don't just play your local friends, etc). Although IRL play is DEFINITELY the best, netplay shouldn't be overlooked. However if you play just locally all the time, try netplaying or traveling. The most fun I've had playing is outside my region, because it really puts my strategies to the test (instead of me just memorizing people's styles from playing them over and over). It was the same when I started playing against the PSN guys.

- How strong do you feel your nation is as a whole, what is the next step to strengthening it?

Our good players are good. The midlevel players are comparatively pretty poor. Information needs to be shared, matchups need to be discussed (everyone hates Litchi, but the matchup discussion hasn't moved for months, why?). I feel like the split between GG and BB players hurts the community as a whole as well, who cares about "BB is bad, GG is perfect" or whatever, everyone should try to help everyone out. BB is a lot of people's first real game, so by showing people what it takes to play properly and strengthen America's skill level as a whole.

- Which player(s) give you the most trouble and why?

There's no one who I'd say particularly gives me trouble - there's a good size group of fun to play people.

- What has been the most helpful tool while growing stronger in BB?

A variety of things, but most notably was my 4 am sit down with Garu and Chou's question thread on bbs. Both of these insights not only just gave me a bit more (in Chou's case, a LOT more) knowledge about their respective games, but also helped me restructure the way I think when I play.

- Is there anything you'd like to share regarding your respective character or Dustloop in general?

Although there's a lot to learn, Litchi rewards you for your effort. Even though she's the best, you'll still lose all the time if you don't learn matchups, so make sure to hit up the matchup boards and do your best! You have to make use of all of her tools in order to be really successful with her. Stop focusing so much on combos (which you can just practice) and get into the knitty-gritty of strategy - that's something you can learn from GG.

USA CS2 patch coming out this May

By Guest, in Home,

Looks like the USA won't have to wait much longer for CS2! There's no exact date but, this is pretty reassuring.

It's basically what we expect: balance changes, mission mode changes, improved netcode, etc. are free, but Platinum will cost money (though you can fight her online for free).

      Fate/Unlimited Codes

      By scatteraxis · Posted

      Opinions on Fate haven't changed much it seems... still no one gives a shit about PSP aside from it having netplay and the tiers basically look the same except with Gil only sharing his tier with ZL now that the latter has his full potential properly documented.   The most maintained Fate wiki is now on Mizuumi and is basically a compilation of everything from the wikidot and Japanese atwiki, plus newer developments in recent years: https://mizuumi.wiki/w/Fate_Unlimited_Codes   The Big One 2nd Arcade channels are also the most consistent place to find footage of high level Fate gameplay.

      There are people who have been playing CS1/2 with emulators. I've yet to try it myself, but it's easy to setup I've been told.

      [Xrd] Jack-O' Gameplay Discussion Thread

      By Bossobee · Posted

      Went and tried it on Ky, Axl, Millia, Potemkin after this. Seems like sjiad jP goes right over Millia's head unless I'm messing something up. Combo works the same on the other three. Thought Potemkin would get launched low enough for 4D9 > sjK to connect but doesn't seem like it.   Combo as-is is cS 6H(2) sjiad jPSH cS 2H (mash to 14 hits) > 4DX if you wanna mess with it.
