Haha, thx KOCCHI DA!! [i'M HERE!!] --- hmmm... not as cool as Baseball Truck -- Like, I'm gonna hit you like a baseball truck! yeah.... Anyways, so after a long battle of trying to update this game I got the english config (which is nice) and the net patch/patcher dlls bla bla bla, got a black screen recopied files black screen repeat, repeat. Then the [] square need to replaced with the # prob, fixed that too bla bla bla. Anyways, it seems netplay is working and I put in www.nurupodensetsu.com/ggn/delay4/ggnlobby.cgi and delay 4, but I haven't tried to play anyone since I'm dloading stuff (but I can see a peeps so everything looks great). Oh and about the GGXXAC+ stuff... Unless it ends up on the PC or the 360 I'm not going to get around to buying it. Though I heard the emulator is running pretty good for PS2 so I might try it out sometime. So why is AC+ so much better -- I thought Ky sucked in that one, plus no net play? I know it's the latest version and all, but the only improvement I could want in this game so far is for it to not buffer my moves, ie a lot of times I might swing and quick fireball, but I do the fireball too soon and about the time it comes out it's not worth doing. Since I'm new I play this game like I can cancel any move once it connects and hit through falling bodies/recoveries trying to combo/juggle (no concept of limitations or timing).

I'm using the PC version so it's in Japanese and a lot of the keys are in question marks/ascii when you bind them. That's for the super info, I'll try it out later. BTW, What exactly is that green ring -- it seems to come out if I mash when blocking. "Baseball Truck!" is what Ky yells out when he does his dragon punch instead of "Shoryuken!" I played for about another hour last night and I can beat I-No about 9 out of 10 times thanks to vs CPU. I like that VS CPU keeps the AI on max level instead of gradually making them harder like in arcade (it sucks that I can't make it pick random though). Is there another mode that has random characters on the highest AI? I tried survival but it was really boring beating on those punching bags and leveling up while waiting for the shadow people to jump in. I can see how that mode could easily go up to level 1000+ and it's way too much grinding for me. It seems like Ky's best move is that quick backslash and poking with anything else is rarely safe. You think they would have just made that a simple key press instead of back + h.slash or wait, wait "4H" in gg notation, right? The only super I can do right now is qcfx2 jab (236x2p?) which just seems to be a charged fireball without as much charge and more speed, but it's useful to throw as a combo when the cpu is hit out of range or to counter certain stuff (not that great against I-No as she can often go over even if it looks like she's about to land on it or counter with her speaker hat thing). BTW, is May like the best character in this game? She takes/gives a lot of damage, she's fast, has good range, small, she can jump it seems higher than any other character so a lot of anti-air misses if you're not careful. She can throw out the dolphins really fast too and use them like a shield to block your first hit. That whale super takes up like the whole screen and easily hits you if you're laying on the ground. The AI is not that good with her (I have it set on maniac), but she seems like she would be really hard in a match of even or more skill.

Hmm.. I think the main reason I'm losing to I-No solely because I can't do supers. I remember in a Ky mirror match that he has this super where electric balls surround him and he comes at you and you can't block it in the air. Since I-No is always in the air when I play against her I'm pretty sure if I hit with that it would help a lot. I'm going to have to figure out this dust key stuff.

Hey thanks, I was actually going to try sliding under the wave as it comes down and double jumping the other close up, but I didn't want to risk it plus if you are really far away from the wave and duck blocking the chip sometimes is minimal (i don't know why). Would sliding work as well as walking or better on the wave one? Hey, I wasn't doing random ones -- I literally was about to smack her ass out of the sky several times and suddenly she busts out a speaker and interrupts my shoryuken before it hits her. This is true man, but I have less than an hour playing this game and I've never played a game where I need to run to the manual so soon. She's the boss? I thought justice was the boss of this game? That might explain why she's so hard -- does she have all of these supers when you play her normally? I just got the game on my comp so I haven't really tried anything other than playing ky up to I-No, getting my ass kicked, and then just messing around with testament (who btw seems weird as hell by laying all of these invisible traps around it seems?) I have no clue if I'm playing him right but I just targeted the char so the raven can attack, then spammed traps and tried to slap the character into them (or back dash/retreat so they follow me into them).

Hey, I've read through there, but it likes reading the dictionary. I understand all of that stuff, but applying it is something different. It's like if I went out and bought a martial arts manual and it's like "Touch of Death: Force ki up into your arm with two breaths, then force out around chakra point A, B, C and rotate to x,y,z and strike opponent with fluff in the wind." I just got and started playing the game and I don't want to get bogged down with tech lingo while I'm still deciding whether I want to keep playing it. Can't you just tell me what you do to kick I-No's ass so I can maybe do it too? ============== Btw (in case I don't figure this out the next time I play) dust is for supers right, but does it do anything else (any other attacks)? I think I might not have binded that key properly so I don't use that button (which might be why I can't get any supers out).

Alright, so I just got Reload and I put it on maniac and picked Ky because I heard he is like Ryu. Anyways, the game seemed pretty easy just poking and doing specials until I got to I-No towards the end. She's such a cheap bitch with that guitar with wings super thing and it looks like she can do it as much as she wants. She goes to the edge of the screen so I can't jump over her and then she can change what type of super she's doing. Right now my strat is throw 2 of those big ass hadokens at her and then go to the edge of the screen and duck block or try to duck block under it (depending on the pattern). You have to be careful because it acts as an overhead it seems sometimes and other times it just goes all over the place and seems to hit you no matter what. Then if you do block it it chips the shit out of you. It's annoying as hell, especially when you first face her and have never fought her before -- I feel like I have to learn everything about the stupid supers in advance. She moves pretty fast and counters in the air and keeps knocking down my 'baseball truck' dragon punch thing with the hat speaker. Still, I would be beating her if she didn't spam the crap out her super towards the end of the match. Also she has this pimp slap that seems to be invincible and sometimes it stuns through block and other times it doesn't??? She tries do some loop thing with it and if I get lucky I can backdash out (is there something better to counter this?). I tried reading the instructions for this game but everything is like in ascii, japanese, and ingrish with this dust heavy 7p whatever stuff. I can't figure out any supers either -- can someone translate to jab, kick and slow swing, fast swing. I don't want to spend all day in training mode memorizing combos, I just want to kick her ass right now! Just FYI so far I can do the: - Green Sabre - Baseball Truck - Slide - fast hadoken + air - slow hadoken + air I also know the airdash/double jump/super jump.

Haha, well if I was Rod I'd be milking it all I could -- How about some free drinks and freeplay? Walk up to Sushi.."Oh, my dear face still stings -- can I get a drink to ease the pain brother?" LoL, I might even paint a red hand on my face.

BTW, is this the same sushi who owns Current? Seems kind of strange for the owner to be getting drunk and smacking around his customers...

Some thoughts on your recent blog post: For many years my parents had exchange students from Japan and the women/girls would always complain about Japanese men saying they were very moody/mean and that they always went after Filipinas and Chinese because they were easy sex. We never rally paid much attention to it and thought it was just your general griping about the opposite sex. Then there was this one woman my parents had as an exchange student for a few years off and on while she complete her masters program. Her husband and grand parents came over for the graduation and stayed for about 2 weeks. They seemed very nice and everything seemed great. When they were at the airport getting ready to head home he just snapped for some reason and started kicking the shit out of her in front of everyone (and no she didn't cheat or anything like that). He then kicked her luggage away and boarded a flight without her and took her ticket. She had to come back and schedule a new flight and all this stuff and she was a 38 year old woman crying the entire time. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen to be honest. When she left she said she had to give up English and stop talking to us and become a house wife (with no explanation). And even though my parents called and sent letters/email that was the end of it. I think maybe it's just like that in many countries of the world where women are like a man's property and you get to smack them around whenever you feel like it and control them. Obviously not everyone thinks/acts like that, but I think there is some undercurrent in the culture where it's somewhat acceptable. This guy was lucky here in the states because he could have easily been arrested and jailed -- an American wife beater would have at least waited behind closed doors. This guy (a 38+ yeard old man) had the balls to pull this in the airport in front of hundreds of spectators (with no alcohol/drugs involved).

You need to copy and paste HTML with the tags to keep the formatting consistent. There are a lot of free WYSIWYG HTML editors including email composers like thunderbird or outlook that should export HTML. I'm not sure if your MS Word is too old and doesn't do this, but you can try a save as -> html and then open it up in notepad to see if it generated the code you need to copy and paste. If you need an updated text editor that does this for free then try something like openoffice.org
