But but but...what about the FOOD? EDIT: WOW...Found my SNES and my copy of MK3 (Not Ultimate). Also I'm thinking of bringing the following: SF 20th Anniversary Collection (Includes SF2:X and 3rd strike) DOA 2 Soul Calibur 2 (GC) GG:AC GG: Isuka PS2 GC 2 Controller Converters that allow PS2 Controllers to be used on regular X-box and GC If you want, I can bring the SNES and MK3. If I find anything else I'll update you guys...

Hardcore MK Players? I'm afraid to ask, and that entire paragraph was carefully created flame bait. Obviously I want a SF experience if I play a game where every hit sends blood a flying, just because I want to press 4 to block. OBVIOUSLY I have no interest in what came before or the history of the game, because I merely want to press 4 to block. There is no reason EVER to have a block button, it's just one more mechanic to remember and if they TRULY wanted to be like Aksys and Capcom, they would not needlessly complicate the game. I don't CARE if EX moves are tied to the block button, hell I don't even want to HEAR about you supporting a block button if they're going to gank EX moves from Street Fighter. It is entirely viable, and possible to make an MK game that stays true to its roots, without a block button. That kind of blind loyalty is what made Aksys make BB in the first place. Because you keep going down that road and eventually you only got five guys buying your game because no one else wants to put in the effort to learn how to get past the monkey gymnastics you put between them and their game.

And the Prosecution rests. I mean how many people played MK and didn't know you had to hold a button to block or run? I believe C was the block button in MK and start was the run for genesis. I could be wrong...

I'm pretty sure its because you can't change the defaults, and unfortunately that's a default.

Pretty much what Kyosuke said. The biggest problem with MK was the fact that in order to be defensive you had to mash a button. In 3d Fighters like Soul Calibur that makes sense because sometimes you want to move backwards rather than block, and other times, they may be coming at you from an odd angle that holding back, doesn't work because it's no longer back. Soul Calibur also uses the block button for other pursuits. Mortal Kombat has never done anything innovative with that button, to MAKE it useful to a player. It has been there solely as a means of pissing off the player base. It has had no reason for it's existence, other than to be something "different". Same with the "Run" button, no reason to exist, yet you can't dash without hitting it. If Warner Brothers was serious about making a good MK game, they needed to let both of those ancient artifacts go, so they might die a grisly and fitting death.

FIGHTERS! LEAVE THOSE BURGERS ALONE! /snicker...

Quick note is Rod's gonna be a bar b que or are we gonna go out and eat during the day?

Yeah that affects my ability to come as well guys, cause if you're going to be gone by 3pm well then I'm hosed...

If I show up friday I'm going to play whatever's put in front of me, though to warn you all the GG experience I have can be summed up in roughly...me fooling around in training mode...

I play on PS2 but I don't have alot of people to play against, so I don't get better. It's a conundrum because I have no one else to fight and show me what I'm doing wrong. I'm more than certain this coming to 360 would help me get better with Johnny...

Its okay Dacid, I am going to play Ragna, and I'm sure people will call me a teir whore, having no concept of the phrase... Besides, thats when you troll them by throwing a needle and then doing Fu Rin Ka Zan before they die...

Alright Rin, I think I'm about ready to get a CT match up on the boards so you can grade my scrubtastic ass...I'll PM you when it's up.

Fixed.

That's because your name is Taopoopoo which is obviously an unflattering name!

Little known fact, Rats are considered lucky by a few cultures. It is usually customary to call any cat who is brought into a house to hunt them horrible names because of this. Rin obviously doesn't have such a name, so the luck of the rat has ABANDONED YOU!

Well now, It looks like I might HAVE to show up Friday now with a challenge like that!

Have you SEEN me fight? I'll tell you what Rin, I'll go drum up a few ranked matches, to warm up, then I'll throw one up for download. You go look at THAT and THEN tell me who's the prince...Hell I'll even let you throw it online to show off to all the Interwebs, so everyone can have a good laugh.

Hey now, theres only room for one Crowned Prince of Scrubbdom and I gots the fancy hat! *Points at CT*

How about scrub matches? Norcal's biggest Scrub vs. PNW's biggest scrub? It's like bum fights, but these guys suck... nm...that assumes you guys have someone who'd call themself a scrub like me

That trailer was a bit disjointed, sorry to say. It was an interesting idea, but I would have possibly stuck to one game, rather than blow through three or four. If you were going ot go with BB you had CT and CS stuff to pull from at least...

If I can come I'll have a PS2 and AC but I only got pads...no stick...

I might actually be able to hang out friday... Oddly enough...

I'd say make it 3 v 3 but allow for 2's if the teams can't fill out.

See, but that was the thing, even if the computer did block it, you only needed one to land. If you could manage that, you could kill the computer. That was all it took. Even human opponents had no recourse if you got one off, because it comboed into itself, was easy to do (44LP if I remember correctly), and required no skill to really get the timing down.

Maybe it was Ultimate, but I just remember having no problems abusing the hell out of thunderbolt. It was like begging for me to break it.
