Survival is damn easy in AC+. Cleared it on my first try using Venom. Just pump upgrades into tension related stuff and spam Dark Angel.

It's a fine action game, but as a balanced and deep fighter...it just falls short. It's not unworthy of my time, but I would take absolutely no pride whatsoever in winning against anyone in this game. The combat itself is extremely simple, with some neat character customization. It is lots of mindless and flashy fun, and customizing your movelist is a neat idea. Of course, customizing your movelist has never been associated with balanced fighting games... Basically get this if you want a decent single player action game. If you want a fighting game on PSP, you have actually several great options. GGXXAC+, Tekken: DR, SFA3, Darkstalkers, Samurai Shodown Anthology, KOF Orochi Collection, or even just any old game that was released on PS1. It IS better than Ehrgeiz though.

Probably because it's horrible. And yes, it is.

I know it's not related to competitive gameplay, but for anyone who's missing a Chimaki or two (I know they're easy to find) here's a quick chimaki guide I threw together. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/298862.html Sorry about the awful playing, my I hooked up the 360 directly into my capture card which gave me huge input delay.

So uh, Canada still has NO GG2 stuff on the marketplace? I kinda want Raven.

I saw the same vid. That move where he lights up his whole body is that skill of his...the one which increases his defence. I think in the combo he's using that buff and Modern Cancelling it. To instantly blast drive, lock on with RT and then push in the left stick. You'll dash a short distance and can cancel that into an attack. It has a large delay after it, so it's almost like a backwards functionality blast drive.

I sure hope one of them is "stop crashing the game every single time a ranked match ends".

Or you can stand at the edge of the platform during the beam attack and mash X on her while she blasts, for some decent damage. Very easy boss once you get used to her patterns. Just don't get hit...jesus christ don't get hit.

you can...I think there's some kind of trick to it. Sometimes Sol goes into DI mode when you use the skill, and sometimes it does absolutely nothing.

Guys, we need to share gamertags to get some matches going. It's great online, but it's really hard to find a match. Add me if you're interested in playing this game at all, gamertag is TheMattAlder and my friend's gamertag is MadMartign.

Don't hold your breath.

You sure? That crack in his head below the rectangular thing opens up. I think THAT's the mouth, or else his throat opens up when he walks...

So... what the hell is this thing supposed to be? Hitler moustache, sword...what?

Man...I preordered this game, and I went into EB today, 2 days after it was supposedly released, and they said it comes out tomorrow, and they wouldn't sell it to me. So I had to go to a different EB to get it. What a load of bull. Is there some excuse as to why some EBs have different release dates than others?

it has splitscreen. This has been shown in trailers since the start.

Yeah, ok, well the fact is that there's only ONE way to get Rakusyo, which tells us you taunted after SLASH.

That last match says the Venom player is MIZ, or "野試合MIZ"

air 236S is divine blade.

I've got GG1 on my psp, it's floating around...online...somewhere. And if you have trouble with the PSP's D-Pad (as everyone on the face of the planet does), then you need to do this: http://www.ufighterx.com/guides/videogame/pspdpadfix/pspdpadfix.htm It made GG playable, basically. Attempting shoryu won't make you enraged.

Thanks man, I've been looking forward to this for months.

Well I can see the matchup being in Baiken's favor, but not by more than 5.5-4.5 for Baiken. It's not like Baiken's counters trump any sort of oki or pressure, else venom would have like a 100000000-0 matchup in favor of Baiken. I mean, if you're not willing to change your gameplay drastically for every matchup, you (not specifically anyone I'm referring to, by "you" I mean everyone in general) should play a simple character, or maybe a simpler game even, because that's what GG is about.

But your pressure is made less effective vs baiken, so why wouldn't you use that tension for oki instead? And I didnt think that superman had enough invincibility to escape FB disc. Basides if they're escaping with superman predictably, you can punish it.

Does Baiken really have a way to escape the FB disc? How is Millia's oki hurt? I could see her tensionless oki being hurt, but it's not that bad.

What's so funny...? I looked into it, and it is the MUGEN engine. My point was MUGEN doesn't have to be about importing other people's nonsensical broken ass characters. It can be an original and interesting game.

It's impossible for MUGEN to be broken, it's just a basic engine. 80% of MUGEN characters are broken, but 20% are gold. Just use those nice balanced 20%, or balance the others yourself. BTW wasn't Big Bang Beat made with the MUGEN engine?
