I think you're probably right. Also, I hope one of two things happens with MK9: 1)Absolutely fucking amazing 2)Absolute shit, gets no steam whatsoever Because while SF4 brought amazing shitheads alongside a new bunch of people to play fighters, I can't imagine how many utter shitheads MK9 would bring. You think SRK reacting to animo is bad, wait till you see SRK with an injection of Mortal Kombat fans who came for the gore.

I think my confusion before is I didn't separate "people who don't play fighters" from "the horde that plays SF4." The former need more than "less shotos pls" to care much about fighters, so... Having a fireball and a shoryu doesn't make me instantly not want to play a character. If juri's pinwheel was a real DP i'd still like her, morrigan is a big part of why I pay attention to MvC3, etc. Also, I'm sort of iffy at calling Ragna a shoto. He has a DP, but so does, say, Makoto. I typically think of "non-sf shoto" as being "fireball+dp+not weird" and "sf shoto" as being "fireball+dp+some sort of hurricane kick."

Yeah, I don't see why I need to be reminded of this, it's evident in most media. I don't hate shotos, I hate how many there are in SF, though I like Gouken and theoretically like Akuma. The day a good fighter comes out where there is no main dude with a shoryu who drowns everyone else in volume in online play is a glorious day indeed. Also, I wish every company could just do interesting "palette swaps" like Arcsys did with Robo-ky, HOS, and Mu. basketball oki.........

man, i get what you're saying there, but choose a better example also "casuals" actually are unimpressed by the amount of shotos and have a negative impression of ssf4 due to "fireball wars", so i think you're wrong there

oh they're not even playable, apparently, since it says "37 characters" which means SSF4+yun and yang so basically ssf4ae only adds 2 characters despite all that buildup 2 characters since april, working hard huh capcom mvc3 better not suck.

except nobody wants more shotos, i do not understand more like "the cheap paletteswap of the corporation outweighs the actual desire to try to generate more hype and dlc sales"

SSF4AE trailer has Yun and Yang of course....and 2 new characters!! SOMEBODY INTERESTING??? nope Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma. Fuck Capcom.

marcell i'm afraid this is a toll thread give me austin's daemon bride cabinet to continue

Makoto has a more interesting moveset, her 5d/2d/j.d aren't as important to her gameplay being decent as Noel's D moves are. also her 5d doesn't seem useless outside of combos, even if rarely used

I'm not saying that reliance on 5d etc shouldn't be fixed, or that Noel's d moves in general don't need changes. im just saying there'd be no reason to give a single shit about noel at all if the only time she presses D is during combos

What the fuck am I reading? Next you'll tell me other rekka heavy characters in previous fighters only used their rekkas in combos.

Looks like Ronin(and cheebz?), Zreb, me, boombox, frigid, and possibly oso are coming to jet's meetup. Woo! Not sure about Johnny/Aloha/IMsY. Did anyone catch IMsY/Outlaw's number? I PM'd him before but he hasn't looked at dustloop since november 10th, apparently. Shame, he was becoming a good Hazama. Plus, donuts.

http://www.indiegames-uprising.com/ Oh shit this has a ton of games I want to at least try, especially Soulcaster. Plus they're all cheap as hell. This winter break is gonna own so hard! i was playing online with friends last night as richter and when we killed death richter said his masterful quote so GOOD also ronin are you coming saturday

seeing marcell's quote in ronin's sig makes me realize: he needs to change his nick to yashiro since it's close already and yell "NAANII?!?" every time he loses

Well, that date is only confirmed for japan, US "may vary" apparently, but iirc the EU company reported that date, and if the EU plans on getting it then.. Plus, microsoft's DLC chara problems are fixed, so I don't see why we wouldn't get it by then. At the least, we finally have a sense of impending valk on 360.

sdhfsjfhfsd CASTLEVANIA HoD FANS: Richter and Maria are up now. Richter's right bumper attack is this like spin kick thing. It fucking owns. Also, dlc characters you dont have appear as axe armors, which ends looking hilarious. Bought them all? No problem - the game won't load up both Maria and Richter simultaneously in your chara list, so you'll always have access to axe armor shits and giggles. Sweet. I was wondering if someone would ever get decent with valk! I look forward to you playing him. He'll just be 320 MSP at launch btw, temporary sale. :3 also what do you think of that makoto stuff i posted a sec ago

PS when does it start anyway, Jet?

Meetups are PS3 heavy, but that's more related to the fact that most of the BB community has PS3s than the dlc character thing. But yes, 360 still doesn't have one of the DLC characters because lolmicrosoft, though that will change within a week or two, and prior to Valkenhayn it has been PS3 that has been behind on patches/things for BB. Aside from current DLC status/population, I don't think there's really any reason to prefer one over the other. 360 mayyy in some instances be easier to get DLC set up on, since IIRC you can just swap hard drives, but I'm not sure exactly how easy account sharing on PS3 is for that sort of thing. Stick compatibility is the main thing, but I do have 2 nice converters for ps3 horis/pads or any ps2 stick/pad to 360. BB scene here will become even more PS3 heavy when AH3 hits, since it seems most people here are looking forward to that. speaking of which, get hype for my next jarring mspaint avatar of clarice within a week or two. not quite sure what i'll do with her, but I have some ideas. i should have made bang's teeth even bigger. After winter break? I won't have time then. But, since they don't have daemon bride, you guys could have it later and have brandi go instead of me if it's that simple, I suppose.

informed. still gonna make that video post, but it will probably be sunday/monday instead of this week. it will have ah3 for sure. i am getting increasingly hype for ah3. will probably start practicing a bit of clarice and nazuna on ah2 emu, haha. and shortly before it comes out i'll post a system overview with that cast pic again, with little cast summaries with notable moves etc. pretty sure this is going to be my favorite game alongside blaz. it will also be nice to have something to switch between at meetups that most people will play and that I like a lot.

mh is pretty fantastic at least better than most jrpgs

Sesame's translation says that the US date may vary for release.

ahhh, those Sorry, I haven't played online in forever.

what the fuck are "the titles" BLAZBLUE: VALKENHAYN EDITION

finally i will get to do something besides "time to wolfdash into the side of the screen because i can" at meetups What does "title update" mean, anyway?

so jet i assume i can contact people saying you'll be hosting saturday?
