Uncivilized Elk

Is this like... supposed to guilt people back into the series or something? Because frankly people should be able to play whatever the fuck they want without forum members being on their ass about it.

I'm now very butthurt Sin's flag is furled up all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os5ruWrxVyI

"Proof"? This is a forum. Outside of just playing exactly like Ogawa (not gonna happen) but altering the playstyle to fit what he described, he's not going to be finding "proof" (the word you're looking for btw is evidence). On the last page he posted why he thought he was playing wrong, that was the backup he used for his claim. That's pretty much all you can do to discuss strengths of playstyles. I'm completely ignorant of Zato-1 so I have nothing to offer, but he definitely provided some statements to back up his claims and those have not been addressed as far as I can see with a legitimate response outside of "Ogawa is really good tho"..

Well, that sucks for you and all those other people, because I can guarantee you that the Hori Commander controller is way better than any normal PS pad and if you had the choice you should be picking the HC#P pad. This is based off my own personal Commander 3 Pro (that I used a lot before finally switching to fightstick), but the design looks identical to the 4 Pro, which I assume is only different in that it also works for PS4.

The otaku of Japan have surprised me so many times in what they get upset by (and to major degrees) I lost count. I hope you're right though. So... on the topic of a release date, how often do games get released within 2 months of the announcement of a release date? Is that a fairly common occurrence or fairly rare? As we get closer and closer to December the more my jimmies get rustled. Also, yes, Dan Smith is indeed the man!

I was about to say this. Pachi's play may be called not experienced (I mean how many matches did he play as Sin total? I have no idea but I doubt it was thousands)... but it definitely would qualify to be called high-level. And it stilled looked quite homogeneous from a visual perspective alone - I don't think that's going to change at all. I'm still quite excited to play him, but I got a bit bummed because after seeing what all his normals and specials have to offer he started coming off as a tad monotone to me. I dunno, Ky and Sol having elemental projectiles, ground-slides, Sol's volcanic stuff, divekicks; they definitely come off as waaaaaaaay more varied to me than Sin's pokes and wallops. What are you wondering about though; having different lines against different characters isn't unexpected. And I doubt the GG team would make El bisexual because I doubt they have the guts to upset the fanbase her character was created to cater to.

Wow I finally caught a stream live, cool. BTW I have to ask, is anybody else a little down about how Sin's playstyle looks really... monotone? Ignoring the supers, his normals and specials just all seem (visually) similar to each other (being pokes/wallops aimed at different areas), while most GG characters tend to have a larger variety of "types" of attacks particularly when it comes to special moves. This wasn't bugging me at first, but it sort of is now... This says nothing for how it might feel to play Sin, but from a visual perspective alone watching other characters do crazy flipkicks/summon elemental stuff/dolphins/drills it feels a tad... lackluster? Maybe this is why I'm also not crazy over Venom who to me is a bit monotone visually... That being said, thinking about how he plays - it actually seems like it would be a very fun rushdown game and I'm looking forward to trying him out.

I just asked about his links. The reply is at the very top of this page.

Yeah, and now if you've been keeping up you would have also read that it is now being claimed it was easier to port to PS4 than to PS3. Which is what raised concerns.

I find the name Elk Hunt offensive.

How difficult are Slayer's links in Xrd relative to +R? The same or (like most other things in the game) slightly easier?

Do we need to worry about that "very stable" comment about the game running on PS3? I'm now super worried about frame rate drops...

It is but it sounds like they ripped it straight out of Sonic Adventure 3, haha. Especially the "DON BE FRAID TO LISTEN TO YO HEART!" (This is by no means a bad thing, particularly if you like cheesy buttrock, but is a little silly and I keep thinking I'll see Sonic in the background eat a chillidog.)

The one thing I like about SF IV is that now they allow you to upgrade to the new version of the game at a fairy reduced price. P4A:U costs full price and makes P4A completely obsolete, which pretty much guaranteed that even if I was into that I would not buy it.

Anybody WC please feel free to add me; I'd be stoked if I can get even a mediocre connection.

She's lacking the pantsu shot whenever she hits the ground, I admit. Expect it as DLC (god I hope not). I really want a relatively high level match with these two characters. Is that silly to want from TGS?

Ohmygod black-Sin turned back into white-Sin halfway through the intro in the second match...

While Sin looks fun, I REALLY hope he is not a HOS replacement. They look different enough that I hope one day Order Sol comes back.

Baby jesus on a stick, El looks like she came straight out of Skullgirls!

December for multiple regions except Europe seems likely. Now the question is it going to be early December or late December? I feel like the game's localization is going to be rushed and tons of things finished last second, and therefore they aren't ready to announce a concrete day yet, just so they don't end up delaying it by 2 weeks after giving us a date.

Is it even worth it trying to play online if I'm in Hawaii? The randoms I had were atrocious. The one guy I play with irl who lives one mile away - it was at least playable but still only 3 bars and random slowdowns here and there.

Can you still input K or whatever else at the same time as H to have that override the H input in case the throw doesn't work?

Most LEs with artbooks I've run across have some rather disappointing artbooks. I hope this one is high quality but it seems more likely to be one of those small 30 pager pamphlets. Either way I will probably pass on it, and if it ends up being awesome I'm sure there will eventually be a PDF somewhere and that's good enough for me.

So... any chance of the Oahu scene getting revitalized once Xrd rolls around? I live on the south side and know literally just one other person who plays GG.

If you remember any matches where some good uses of them happened think you can link them? I may have just seen poor usage of them from the misc videos I watched.
