Haha, yeah, Melee is a billion times better basically. I mean, everyone says Brawl is supposed to help with spacing or something (cuz there are no fucking KO moves until like 200% O__O), but I dunno. Don't know who I would even play in Brawl cuz Falcon got nerfed the shit out of. Thanks for the welcome though everybody. Judging by how active the MI scene is I don't think I'll have too hard a time getting practice in, and once Extend comes out in the US I'll definitely buy it. BlazBlue seems pretty fucking legit. I was sort of looking into Bang but I wasn't sure how good he was at first so I ended up playing Noel. I read somewhere (maybe it was iplaywinner.com) that she wasn't that high tier, but then recently I watched some tourney matches of Luna's and heard people complaining in the commentary almost to the extent that she was broken or something. Did she get considerably buffed in Extend or do people just think she's gay? :P

Meaning the 360's region locked? :\ Well according to Wikipedia it's coming out on Valentine's day so that's not so bad.

Yeah, I was just lurking there. Looks pretty active. But yeah, I kinda realized after I bought CS that there were sequels to it. It was sort of on a whim, hah. Is Extend out in the U.S. or is there a reason I only see youtube matches of the Japanese version?

Maybe this is just sort of a what's-up thread but here goes. Not sure what all kinds of other fighters BB mostly attracts players from, but I actually got into fighting games with Smash Bros. Melee. It's like, the sickest shit ever. But once you've had your fill of knees for the day, guess you need something to fall back on. So I bought BBCS recently not only just for fun (I think fighters are fun to learn because it's like a whole system of matchups and everything based on all sorts of factors so it's like a puzzle I guess), but also to see if it would improve my smash game. I read the thread at the bottom about what sets BB apart from SF4, and after playing it a bit I think I have a bit of a feel for it. It's still not that natural for me to do things like jump with the stick, but I'm working on my techskill you could say. Since I play C. Falcon in smash I figured I'd just go for a fast character, and Noel seems to work for me in that regard (still kinda even get raped by CPUs sometimes, hah). I think I'm already learning (or having reinforced for me) that you have to be patient and consistent in your input timing, not just really fast. Glad I was finally able to register here. I actually forgot the game in my dorm room and I'm at home on break, but once I'm back I hope to get to play some people (also noticed there's a good MI BB scene, nice) and figure my Noel out. P.S. Anybody else like to smash?
