Necrosis

I actually am not sure who the batsu/morrigan death combo was on, although it might have been Karas and it looked like it could have kept going.

I've seen multiple death combos, the most memorable being one with Batsu and Morrigan where Batsu did like 10 rejumps in one combo. However, realize that infinites do not matter much in this game as there is now a universal burst (Mega Crush).

Baroque I heard is some powered up mode that you can use if you sacrifice your red life. that's all I know about it though, although I don't think it's custom combos... Roll actually looks good for once. Her level 3 cracks me up. I was already decided on playing her regardless of if she can compete, though. she's got a broom, she's totally prepared to sweep the competition! Can anyone say if Gold Lightan looks remotely good AT ALL? Will he even be tourney legal (so, is he on arcade)?

Posting to recommend vids of me v skisonic and point out that I had to leave from Ohio for a 5 hour drive home, hence forfeiting to noel. I really wanted to play the match, but he was busy with marvel or something. also recommending pretty much anything to do with capps. some epic finishers, and capps generally playing really really well. ... for that matter, watch the whole thing.

yeah i'm done forever on 2df, ponder is the fucking MAN.

no see that's what I was asking, I thought it was 360/PS3 for VF5R, not VF5. I know VF5R is a whole new game, lol.

i thought the word on consoles was 360 AND PS3? I'm as hyped as I've ever been for VF, it's hard enough to play that I won't take it seriously but it's fun enough that I'll play it.

This is extremely true, regardless of my utter failure to get it working. I know it DOES work, I just fail at it.

Basically it's just connecting the PSPs via wireless, it's pretty simple and overall works pretty well.

Unfortunately chipp cannot enjoy his delicious dustloops because he is allergic to them

Akatsuki and Mycale were S tier yes, but they hardly dominated from my experience. I played Sai, who apparently went up to A tier even though I still thought he wasn't very good. Generally I didn't play the game enough to be a reliable source of information, but hey, day 1 with generally good players figuring almost everything necessary out FAST, I was raping with Sai for a pretty good while.

Pyro's not good anymore. They basically just got rid of the HP bonus on the backburner and now it sucks almost as bad as it did before. The HP bonus was the ONE deciding factor between the backburner and flamethrower. It's good that they balanced the weapons, BUT they made the class imbalanced in the process. IMO it needs 200 (preferably 225 but obviously they won't want that) base HP and then STOP CHANGING IT. The thing is that they NEEDED to buff pyro, it's horribly unusable in its original form. Same goes for spy but Spy is actually being NERFED regularly. TF2 balance is just falling and falling and falling now. I really like the game, the balance just needs to be better. It wouldn't be hard. They just fail at it. Well enough of that, back to the Guilty Gears.

The only reason I play 02: May Lee. >> So people, why is yuri so good? What does she have that puts either EX or Normal Yuri high up?

XI is my favorite one, don't get me wrong. no one likes it though, because it's not 98. you said that yourself. Every time I've ever talked to someone about why the game is trash in their opinion it's always the imbalance of the game, which IMO is extremely exaggerated but that's what most people think. FS7: I play him on another team, and I was trying to avoid playing characters I'm already playing on another team. I actually decided that that particular team is gonna have EX Ryo on it solely because I know how to play EX Ryo and he's got a huge fireball (he's on a gimmick team of mine, Ralf/Clark/EX Ryo, team "punch stuff a lot," but that's a gimmick team that I play like a horrible horrible scrub).

Rugal got some neat buffs. I'm actually playing him now, they gave him so much neat stuff. Unlike 98 where he just felt crazy limited to me. Far C cancellable. Doesn't combo into anything though, I just go into reppuken. Headstomp super is faster. Still not really a great super but hey, it's more worth it now. Kaiser wave is pretty much the best projectile in the game. Rugal is the only character able to beat out krauser's kaiser wave. I'm playing him on a team of Rugal/Krauser/Saisyu because I like huge fireballs but only two characters have the kaiser wave to my knowledge so instead I'm playing Saisyu at least until I can find someone else with a huge fireball (who isn't AoF team because I hate robert and I'm playing the other two on other teams).

I want Speed Racer, Q, Q-Bee, and more Rival Schools (especially more rival schools!), and I'll be ENTIRELY satisfied. I'm fine as long as I get any one of those though, basically. Hell we already have Morrigan and Batsu so I'm fine playing either one of those two.

60fps.

98 is considered the best KoF because no one likes XI, 94-97 are trash, 99-2001 are trash, and 2003 is trash. Out of 98 and 2002, 98 is the less retarded game, as well as being pretty balanced (I'm not sure on balance compared to 2002). or something like that, anyway. I don't claim to have been playing fighting games seriously for the last 15 years to know for sure. IMO, UM is the superior game, for a few reasons. It's looking slightly more balanced to me, and there are more characters, which I mention mostly because in KoF 98/2002 I always had problems finding characters, despite the stupidly large roster. So here I have 2 teams right now, and they're both using new characters. I'm leaving my original 98 teams alone so that if I'm playing on kaillera or GGPO I have those teams, and can just play them normally, instead of having to separate "I can do this in UM, and this in 98" in my mind.

nevermind. I tried it with omega rugal. I just wanted really noticeable damage that I knew how to do. I did: j.C 5D 63214C 2363214C it did about 95% on Yuri in all three, with the setup I described before (ultimate had run, dodge, and adv meter). edit: it's worth noting that I honestly have no idea WHAT combo I used to test it before, but i'm pretty sure it was leona.

nevermind.

Control Crisis arranged is great. man I was surprised the arranged was good in this game. I really was considering SNK releases some REALLY shitty arranged stuff. I don't remember to be honest EXACTLY what I didn't like but I remember I decided to pick her up in 98 one day and played her for a little bit and just hated her. I... really dunno.

Locke was already shown somewhere, I've heard. Thank fucking GOD Kefka is confirmed now, this makes me extremely happy since I've been holding out for him since the beginning. exdeath is cool too actually... and so is golbez, but I care more about FF4 protagonists.

so I wound up playing EX Geese/EX Yamazaki/Leona. they basically either fixed some stuff about leona that I FUCKING HATE in 98 or they didn't change her at all and I've brainwashed myself. (edited this; i was playing ex geese at first, switched to geese, just switched back) I've only unlocked goenitz so far but he's boss strength so I can't just play him for fun. goddamnit. here's the only tier list I've seen so far, source is some guy on gamefaqs (who admittedly did explain placements a little bit so I'll believe it for now): SSS Tier: Krauser, Geese, Iori SS Tier: Chris (Orochi), Geese (Ex), Choi S Tier: Daimon, Terry (Both), Saisyu, Takuma A Tier: Brian, Ryo, King (Both), Chris, Yashiro (Orochi), Athena, Mr. Big B Tier: Kim, Mature, Yamazaki (both), Yuri (Ex), Benimaru, Kagura, Ryo (Ex), Robert, Kyo (Ex), Heidern C Tier: Kasumi, Yuri (Normal), Leona, Eiji, Yashiro, Mai (Both), Mary (Both), Joe (Both), Kyo, Ralf D Tier: Clark, Heavy D!, Chang, Robert (Ex), Vice, Billy (Both), Andy (Both), Shermie E Tier: Shermie (Orochi), Shingo, Lucky Missing Tier: Rugal, Chin, and Kensou lol so hard that the entire original top tier is no longer top tier EXCEPT IORI HAR HAR

well, are you happy now.

OCV also commonly comes up in CvS2, KoF that isn't XI and similar games, since those games only have you switching characters after one is defeated. If you don't lose a single character, bam, OCV.
