Well I discount that as an incidental delay caused BY the Valk shit... When did XBox finally get Valk anyway?

Where on TV can I watch Firefly, Trigun, and Angry Beavers back to back? Netflix is win, lol Plus I'm and avid CLAMP-tard, and they have X/1999 xD

Pretty much just the calm before the storm, there's not much more to "Genrally Discuss" until she drops. and I doubt we'll need to wait much of, if any substantial amount of time for Plat at this point. At least nothing on the scale that Valkehayn got delayed... EDIT: and Netflix is the shit, don't hate...

Did he rig his PS3 with C4 or something? I don't think I've ever heard of a console exploding, and I've never heard of any substantial heating issues for the PS3, but screw console wars, shit is like 6 years irrelevant now. As long as I can get SOMETHING by the time Plat/Patch drops, if the store's not up before then, if we manage to get the patch anyways, I'll just distract myself with learning how to combo with Hazama again until then, lol.

People who switch to 360 from something like this were just fickle to begin with IMO, I'll take a one-time serious hacker attack on my network over "Cool an XBox 360! hey, why is it flashing red? is that smoke? OH MY GOD A FIRE!". My OG 360 can rot in hell, that thing was only good for Halo and Oblivion, and every time I turned it on it sounded like a tornado was in my room. I think Continuum Shift's DLC is cursed, first Valkenhayn gets shot in the nuts before he can come out for 360. Then Plat gets epicly delayed, and now on the eve of CS2 *BOOM* PSN is dead... plus the main menu used to troll me all the time saying there was new DLC available and nothing had changed (which I'll admit is my own fault for falling for the same buggy incident more than once, but it's the principle of the thing).

the 31st? wth is that? D: I understand the amount of work Sony is doing to rebuild the network and buff the security, but over a month seems like a totally excessive amount of time. Plus, I REALLY FREAKING WANT MY CASTLEVANIA DLC AND PLATINUM DAMMAT! T^T

If it makes you feel better Platinum is almost here... lol And I don't think I'd ever have noticed that little ghost until I actually got my hands on her, with all the random FX in this game and the choppiness of vids and all... Now if only I had a guarantee that the f**king Network would be back up by then T^T Edit: I hate my computer, I told it to post this ages ago... <.<

Platinum's time-out animation is the best, I forget it's about it until I see it, then I laugh uncontrollably. When does this ghost show up? I never noticed such thing before O.o

Thankfully I'm on the beneficiary side of said matchup, but I count it as a blessing from the Gods considering Tager's other matchups (I think I die a little inside every time I have to fight Mu or Lambda).

with few exceptions *cough*Noel*cough cough* Pan specific combos hurt though, and the Fan has dumb range too... it does it's job as a combo extender and for overheads with j.D. The Pan and the Hammer definitely seem to give her the best damage output out of all her items. With all Plat's situation-specific combos, I'm probably gonna spend most of Day 1 in training mode getting all that shit down, lol...

I saw this combo here and didn't see it posted in the thread. I know 236B isn't exactly a primo combo starter, but I can't play with Plat yet D: (also, isn't 22C identical to her j.236A? why would they make two totally different moves look the same? :O) Corner: 236B > 5C > 2C > Momo (Missles) > 6C > j.D > 22C > 5C > j.C > j.D > 22C > 5C > 6A > j.C > j.D > oki +5 heat, 6749 DMG

I'm not knockin' the Cat, I just meant comparatively amongst her items which was the most mediocre. I agree, none of them are bad, but the Cat doesn't break two primers, beat spark bolt or have invicibility. And the range on the Lion is absurd no doubt, I can't wait to bash a Lambda over the skull with it for whiffing 5D :D Bombs are kinda meh too, but that blockstun is pretty legit...

So what would you guys say her worst item is looking to be? I know, I know, they all have a purpose, but Hammer leads to BS damage loops/primer breaking, Bat is a gdlk reversal but it's telegraphed, etc. etc. it's not an equal playing field IMO, so far I'd say the Cat Mace seems kinda meh, the range is nice and all, but it looks like it doesn't really lead to anything other than oki. Even Momo'd, the range is ridiculous, but it's not a slidehead, or a super-kawaii-kitty-missle-of-death.

7:4, lol... Well like I said, I didn't mean anything conclusively, but some matchups are glaringly one sided (a la Noel<Tager etc.). I'm just curious if anyone's noticed any that are particularly good/bad for Plat...

I lol'd So, what would those of you who've gotten their hands on Plat say her best/worst matchups are? I'm not talking conclusively or anything, but which matches feel notably easier/harder than others?

PG: Kawaii desu, motherf***er I couldn't help myself, lol

Whether MK has a plot or not is largely moot IMO. Especially considering most people place higher importance on how many quarts of blood spew from severed extremities during Fatalities (not that I'm dissing it mind you, MK9 is sick). Hazama's CS2 combos are making me SO hype. And I'm glad Mizuchi Rekkazan is showing up in BnB's, it's such a cool Distortion, and I almost NEVER use it in CS1 (unless I'm trolling xD).

Well that's pretty sick, I haven't been on DL in like 1.5 months thanks to Marvel, and I'm mindblown that Tager managed to actually get something awesome out of CS2... Never thought I'd see the day

Maybe because he's an American character? idk <.< Anywho, I made these because I was stuck inside today due to snow, and I like fiddling around in Photoshop... my primary team of choice, I've decided to nickname it "Bitches and 0's" until further notice, lol my secondary, more "for fun" team, that can hopefully still tear ass: "Laser Claws" bah, Imageshack resized these things WAY smaller than I made 'em (they still look pretty high res full-screened on my 22" monitor) No real point to them, I'm using the second as a BG on my comp now, just figured I'd show 'em off I guess <.< Edit: Might make a third with Dorm/Trish/Hsien Team "Piss off my friend" (he HATES when I use zoners xD). They only took me like 10 min a piece anywho...

X-Factor does more than just increase damage, it let's you extend combos through XFC, and it affects characters differently, although the difference in effects is largely unknown as of right now iirc (it gives Chun-Li cokehead speed for example) and no, Sentinel is not OP, he's obviously going to have similar tools that he did in MvC2 (they're not going to completely retool a character that was so widely played). They just down-toned the tools he has to make it a little less ridiculous...

Phoenix is gonna have to keep CONSTANT pressure though, which will be hard against quite a few characters as it seems now... if the fight's momentum gets turned on her Phoenix'll have to GTFO or die seems to me that Phoenix will be hard to maintain on point, she'll have to rely on DHC/air exchange to get her in and out of harms way... so I'm betting she'll need to be paired with another character who's pretty good on point (preferably one with respectable health) I don't know why I'm even speculating on Phoenix, I have very little desire to play her <.<

Only necrophiliacs understand the true meaning behind "cracking open cold one"... I have weird friends lol

It's a cartoon made in the 90's that had no relation to it's source material outside of the characters themselves, of course its going to be bad... but it's bad in the same way that cheesy horror movies are bad, in the most entertaining way possible

I knew Phoenix doesn't have much health but DAMN, that one combo into Shinkuu outright killed her... yeesh :O

I'm glad Hsien-ko's odd style of movement wasn't changed though her walking airdash looks slower... or maybe I'm just seeing things <.<;;
