Ichipoo

Oh GAWD YES! <3

Haven't been in Dustloop for a while and what's this? Michi gets her own topic? ABOUT DAMN TIME XD

Lack of FFT saddens me :sad:

Damn, this is making me want to buy all the Rurouni Kenshin VIZBIG volumes.

DON'T JINX IT! I second Garou and Samurai Spirits being dl'able, more specifically SS5SP and SS6.

I was being sarcastic my friend, read the last sentence of my previous post.

I admire the people who uphold the "don't knock it til you try it" principle of all fighting games but let's face it, SRK is gonna stay free as always when it comes to non Street Fighter games. And you mean a girl who LOOKS like a guy .................. Who am I kidding? I swear this is just like the time I thought Haku from Naruto was a girl.

Not gonna lie, Rosa is one delicious MILF that I wouldn't mind playing as.

You deserve a cookie.

So let me be the first to admit that I thought Kanon was a girl. Effing Japan and their effeminate boys.

Ohhhhh I can imagine this game being pirated like fucking crazy when it releases. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that netplay won't be available to those who pirated like what happened with Starcraft II. This is just speculation of course.

Lmao as expected, SRK dudes hating on the game for not being mainstream. Stay classy guys. Willing to give this game a try, I'm digging Lucifer and Kanon so far.

It just occurred to me that this thread got stickied, this game must be fucking hype then no?

So I hear LokeTest 5 Noel got some sexy new shit? If so, I may actually play CS2 and hang around Dustloop some more again!

I remember back in CT, when I decided to main Noel, her 6C BC loop was what was giving me trouble on the pad. All of a sudden after 2 weeks, my fingers suddenly corrected themselves whenever the opportunity for the loop arose and I suddenly became good at it. After that, everything else Noel-related just fell into place (except her hard to perform Haida Loop) and the only thing left for me was to learn was the matchups, which I never bothered doing since CS was around the corner.

Wow. That certainly is an eye raiser, but I can't deny the game's colorful design and characters <3 :x

Link to the crying please.

Here's my reaction of this news so far. *New fighter? I'll check it out!* *OMG! The Character Designs are beautiful! HD sprites! That must mean it should be on the PS3 at least! *reads 360 exclusive* [] x 9000 Yes I'm QQing and salty.

I would've preferred Ashe. :x And where the fuck are my FFT people!!!!!

DAYUM! I want my own custom stick! Especially one like PlasticChicken's. :x

What I observed so far is that the only "safe" way to combo the opponent is by short hopping and aerial comboing them. Even if they KnJ the combo, at least you're not open to a jutsu or an ougi. It's also best if you hold the guard buttons while short hop attacking since just in case your opponent blocks your short hopped aerial combo starter, the game "option selects" into a grab right when you land, though it's best if you don't do this while on autopilot since the opponent can capitalize on whiffed grabs with a free jutsu/ougi. Also, characters with grabs that can lead into a Strike Back support while in Support Drive if you have an Attack support is so gdlk. I've gotten so many wins in Player Matches today as Hinata, Suigetsu and Hinata due to this simple combo. Grab > Strike Back > Ougi If you have 2 Attack supports, you can extend it like so for extra damage. Grab > Strike Back > Grab > Strike Back > Ougi And it isn't so difficult landing a grab on an opponent in this game. Predicting your opponent will just spam projectiles? Chakra Dash into Grab. Opponent blocks your short hopped combo starter? Option select into a grab. Opponent is being braindead by just holding the guard button when they wake up from a techroll or a knockdown? Chase their tech and Wakeup/Okizeme grab them. Do that while in Support Drive with at least one Attack support and you have a free opportunity to ougi them. Characters with Paper Bombs, Bomb Balls (whatever they're called), and in Shikamaru's special case, an explosive kunai as his "Chakra Item" have another viable option for triggering Strike Backs since those items cause knockbacks when hit.

If you're a Naruto fan, then yes $60 + tax is worth the money, if you are both a Naruto fan and looking for polished fighter, $40 would've been better IMO. But I'm not going to deny the beautiful visuals this game has. I personally switched the Guard/KnJ buttons to L1/R1, more responsive IMO.
