Impressions of the DLC Castlevania characters: Julius is like more of a powerhouse Jonathan with the ability to use his whip like Simon from Super CV, i.e. 8-direction whipping action, which can also latch onto Shanoa's Magnes circles to swing across. Pretty fast startup and longer range on whip, seems to me. Same subweapon system, but doesn't have the silly Portrait ones. Seems to have a faster run. Has whip-spin. He's Julius. His fists are huge. Yoko is a lot like Sypha. Her Luck stat starts really high, which is unusual and a welcome change since Luck is so big in this game. Staff doesn't regen life anymore, but her spells are pretty good. They level up in what they do similar to everything else based on mastery. No divekick (like Charlotte). MP regen seems FASTER than Charlotte, but of course Charlotte probably gets the nod for versatility and likely overall damage...but who knows yet. Almost everything she does is "Holy _______!" I bought Maria, but I haven't played her because she's Maria. Richter at the beginning is like a somewhat less-ridiculous Portrait Richter (the playable one). He has the same subweapon system as Julius, but also has martial arts, and starts with his first which is a spin kick air tatsu thing that gives him extra reach on jumps and at base damage hurts more than his whip. It's pretty fun jump-kicking things. Has whip-spin. No sign of item crashes unfortunately. When he beats a boss, he says YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD

Maybe, but she got 100% buffs in SSF4, so it's all good.

Richter is in Castlevania HD now. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...and so are Julius, Yoko and Maria but omg

I think she's going to stay an easy to use, relatively simple and not great character. She feels easy to get things going with, but she's one of those characters where the difficulty comes in when you're playing an actual match and you have to hit people/get close to them. A Capcom tweet from Nitsuma. I've heard this excuse a few times now, but I don't get this "concept" thing they're talking about. Original/ReArmed Bionic Commando and Strider aren't dark and comic bookish enough, but ARTHUR is? He's a midget knight with a big head.

Yeah, just because you're not hearing about us in the newspaper or on TV doesn't mean we're not around. There's a tournament next weekend in Greensboro we're all going to, and it will have both GG and BB on lagless displays. Last tournament there were a few lagging televisions, but we have a new organizer and we're working on that. Expect 40-50 present in a card shop. Speaking of Lucky's, you guys need to vote on the last game for the tournament. Only like 5 people have voted so far and TvC is tied with something for getting it. I don't think you want that! The other choices are like Vampire, Coliseum, 2k2UM, T6, MBAA. Thread, for poll and new guy: http://shoryuken.com/f7/luckys-ascension-greensboro-nc-12-11-2010-a-257231/ ...wait lol Tekken got a bunch of votes all of the sudden. Zaibatsu must have found it.

lol yeah. I'd love to have an original Charger to look at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Documented-Restored-1969-Dodge-Charger-R-T-440-4-Speed-/280588908124?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item415466f65c

I think Ron was more saying that metal is only in American cars.

Heh.

It's too bad there are so few Marvel 3 vids worth watching, most of the ones posted on SRK are people comboing to whiffed launchers and supers one right after the other. somebody does a random blocked super full screen other guy supers back because they think it's like a SF4 ultra or something In the like 16 NorCal regionals videos I watched, I only saw somebody do like one air combo. Some guy playing Wolverine had some stuff going on, but otherwise it was like a bunch of bad Dante mirrors.

Saki was mad underrated. Ridiculous character. I came up with a loop variation for one of Souki's best combos, that guy HURTS. I'm pretty sure you'll get a Megaman at launch. In that Haggar image from earlier, there was a little blue helmet in the bottom left. I'm thinking regular MM, has to be almost given that Tron took the Legends song, they ruled out MMX early and they already have things to work with from Marvel 1/2. I for one doubt that Jill be similar to what she was. She has the mind control thing on her chest plus her RE5 ninja girl outfit, so she'll likely be something like a cross between Chris and Wesker...and a villain, at least initially. I just can't see ninja RE5 Jill summoning zombies and all that, certainly not if Frank is in the game too (kinda doubting him though). T. Blade was an asshole. Better in training mode than he was in matches, but still a nasty character.

Yeah, the TVs are just out of most people's control unless you were doing fighter tournaments only and like, WHO DOES THAT? Definitely getting MvC3, most all of us will, the question is who will actually keep playing it! I'm looking at probably Arthur, maybe Chris or Trish, probably a character that hasn't been shown yet. A lot of them look like characters I would enjoy. I played Saki and Souki in TvC.

You should charge a separate venue fee and then an entry for BB that's the pot in its entirety.

If they're close enough by and I can get a ride, I'll stop by said tournament. It'd be a huge inconvenience for gaming centers to purchase special televisions for fighting games and I appreciate the well-meaning effort, so I won't mind STOPPING THE REIGN OF JON LAGTON

wow

Give Jin Ky's 6P and I'll play the game FOR EVER

I'll host more again when AH3 comes out and force it on everyone. Marvel 3, yeah, I see me/Jon playing it at least. After we do our $9999999999 Dark Awake money match(es). Blake will probably just play Hazama or Hakumen or...K'.

I think I'm going home this weekend idk, unless people are like really needing a gathering/G Banana Jon nah man but purple Jin grape ice D moves look p. edible. Blake tells me he's not happy with the Ragna changes, like he's dropping him if the current changes stay in. I hope that dude beasting with Jin doesn't automatically make everyone think WOAH, tone Jin down, this could have nothing to do with this guy being a better player than the randoms at the loketest!

By ridiculous I mean they made it FAST well, not as fast as Dizzy's though, but what in Guilty isn't faster lol YO HERE'S MY 25 FRAME OVERHEAD, GET READY...OKAY WOW YOU BLOCKED THAT I'm done with pressure now oops

Well, http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?9346-Tsubaki-Yayoi-General-Discussion-2.0&p=838911&viewfull=1#post838911 But more recent posts (i.e. today, after mine here) point more towards most of the changes being positive. It's just not clear to me what all these "little nerfs" are. I'm thinking she may have lost a few things she had in the last location test etc, but the feel I get from the notes being translated is that she's significantly better than in CS1. From playing her a few days ;p Jin's 2D looks ridiculous.

so...they're nerfing Tsubaki huh

WASTE OF FRESH shuma's song should be like...not a rave, that would be p cool

wow watermelon jolly ranchers were delicious

Galactic Angus is quite fearsome, but G Banana is currently safe in my bedroom. I think. I should probably take it to work with me...

I used to do that but I'm not really into BB much and the people that would travel for GG already know what's up or would come with the MD/VA coming for Capcom anyway But yeah, it'd be good if someone kept up with reposting those threads. Jon, I'm so cool now that I lent you that stuff huh lol YOU GUYS JUST LIKE ME FOR MY MONEYYYY

note: "impressive amount" of interest in T6 may or may not actually be impressive or even an amount
