ps3 pad is just a shit as 360 pad imo ..and that's irrelevant since i'd hope you play on stick in guilty gear, and it's not hard at all to play a ps2 stick on ps3 and 360

http://www.justin.tv/curbeh#/w/526957232 AH3 stream. Started about 40 minutes ago I think, so should be going on for a while. i just finished a fucking tedious shitty art history assignment ughhh it could have been a good, enjoyable assignment... but fucking afklsddsgf

I'll mostly be playing this offline or with select friends, but what teams are you guys using? In original 2002 I ran Andy/Mature/Mai, but now I have Xiangfei and Orochi Shermie in place of Andy/Mature. also almost every character I am considering learning in this(main exceptions are ramon and geese) are females. why are the kof girls so much more awesome moveset wise

it reminding me of boost tricks in hokuto no ken is a good thing, btw no, no, i can see that, but what is fucking hilarious is thinking frcs are just an execution barrier. they could be more lenient but the main thing is frcs add asstons of opportunity to the game. that's what i meant about how the guy was an idiot: he was a smug dick about GG against BB but didn't even know shit about GG. when someone made a great(yet partial) list of the shit frcs let you do, he was like "oh ok lol i didnt know" which is fucking hilarious ...i wonder if an arcana in ah adds a parry. i know the..mirror..ladybug....thing arcana adds a reflect..hm.

SDF WAIT HE FRC'D HIS BIG FIREBALL AND WHEN HE JUMPED IT SPAWNED UP THERE INSTEAD OF NEAR THE GROUND? THAT IS SOME HOKUTO NO KEN BOOST SHIT RIGHT THERE great match also this reminds me of some guy who was like BB IS FUKKN GAY GG IS GOD and then in another post he's like "FRCS ARE FUCKING GAY THEY ADD NOTHING BUT AN EXECUTION BARRIER" and it's like "holy shit, ignorant fanboy much"

Nice! The iPlayWinner one? There's non-loli characters like Zenia(pilebunker), Elsa(vampire hunter i suppose), Mei-Fang(china, huge tits and ass), Clarice(bat wings), and I suppose Scharlachrot(evil, chains), so it's not like you have to play someone like Heart. Plus, some of the young characters like Saki are pretty low-key in terms of cliches, so.

Updated front post. Texted people to make sure they're aware of the meetups. Edit: Texted them regarding absolute battle. Regarding absolute battle: I have to work on two papers a ton this weekend which are due monday, so I can't go, period. If I could, I don't know if I would, since it's $35 for venue+BB and I'm wary of SRK hosted tourneys since I don't want another quakecon mess. plus a bunch of us spending $35 to do what we could essentially do for free or with a pot of $5s with more setups is meh. it'd be good for getting some more players aware of our meetups and play people not from around here, though. KOF2002UM is out. Good news: -Online seems pretty good. I played a 200ms ping guy, I had significant input delay but it was fairly tolerable especially since I'm not trying to do gdlk combos. Played a 100ms guy and some 50-90ms guys, felt pretty great. IMO, better than TVC's online and from my limited experience SF4's, I don't think it's quite as good as NGBC's or, at its best, Blazblue's. -Tougeki version, so more balanced and less buggy. Also, don't give a shit about tiers. Just don't. "E Tier" characters are quite legit. -800 MSP Bad news: -No color edit.(wtf? it was in ngbc and the other versions of kof2002um..) -No gallery mode. Other notes: -Most bosses are illegal(including rugal, im dumb), but Geese/Goenitz are considered legal, though top. -You unlock alternate Robert/Kensou/Takuma by beating challenge missions, or by failing challenge mode 25/50/75 times, rofl. Dunno how to unlock geese/goenitz, endless mode I think. I really like Mai, Li Xiangfei, and Orochi Shermie. Will probably later learn Leona, Whip, and possibly others. fff my favorite characters in this are all female. also ill have some hype-ass footage next time i get to make a big post, after my papers

Messed with online some more. I played a 200ms ping guy, I had significant input delay but it was fairly tolerable especially since I'm not trying to do gdlk combos. Played a 100ms guy and some 50-90ms guys, felt pretty great. IMO, better than TVC's online and from my limited experience SF4's, I don't think it's quite as good as NGBC's or, at its best, Blazblue's. It seems to me that the game has host advantage. Note that all the matches I mentioned were when I was not the host.

So, who's hosting this weekend? I'll text people who may not be looking at the thread that much to make sure they're aware. I'll also update the front post. Later tonight I'll post a little thing about KOF2002UM, which is out. Great news: I should be able to host next friday, and probably once every weekend for the rest of..uh..until spring semester. My litchi finally got off the ground, so you should see me play quite a bit of her next time. I also got to play some KOF2002UM, and will definitely run that there. Mmm, overheads.

It's officially out now on XBL. I just played a match online. Felt quite good like NGBC, but that was just one match, I don't have time to test more.

If someone who has tons of different fighting games to choose from sees AH3, it's probably not going to be their first pick to investigate as to whether they play it or not, unless they immediately see interesting things like time arcana E mirror image oki. If the see some stupid-ass animated sidebars, they're probably going to go "ahaha, this looks like some bad "fanservice" game that throws that crap in their because there's not much to the actual game" and are much less likely to pay attention to it. It's not like the people who would be turned away by sidebars hate anime or something. Some of them even like characters like Konoha and Fiona. The thing is is that having animo characters is one thing, but stuff like the animated sidebars is going to distract them from the interesting stuff in the fight itself and make them not bother investigating the game when they have so much other shit to play. These people, fairly hardcore fighting game players, will assume it's just "little girls flying around" and not look into it any further unless someone presents a bundle of interesting information to them. The game is deemphasized. Naturally, their apathy can be cured if someone sits down with them and tells them about it, but it still costs players. Just because they don't want to bother investigating something that has an obnoxious animation of a little girl on the side doesn't mean they're dumbasses. It's not about being a factor of play, it's about whether they bother to find out about the game, which is hurt if the game just presents itself as little girls jumping around and not a fucking excellent game. "They'll play it if they really wanted to" doesn't really apply. It's not like they clearly realize that the game really has a lot of depth. Front page posts on shoryuken and shit don't really talk about what matters. They get to see the cast, and they see the unnecessary sidebars, and they might see that there's high air mobility, but that doesn't mean they get to see what would really excite them about the game. "Nothing was lost" is bullshit. A player who might have looked up the system of the game and enjoyed the hell out of it looks to other games instead because they don't put some distracting junk at the side. The attacks and such of characters like Heart simply aren't as bad as the animated sidebars, by far. We'll obviously get all the people who like the idea of a cast 80% composed of little anime girls, but we want to get more hardcore fighting players who have a decent level of anime tolerance, too. being a somewhat vague word=being meaningless, ok dad

i expect a research paper on whether or not you are a crack head by tuesday morning ps you guys keep the hype going while i'm unavailable again this week. sundayish i'll make a post with some vids and will probably say whether I can do that next friday or not. will definitely try to be available the weekend after at the least. bussyyyy run some kof2002um for me on friday/saturday~ also, blazblue info: i got to play some BB today online with a friend for about an hour, and realized something: if you're fighting a character who doesn't have an air reversal like ragna but you're worried about them doing dp on wakeup(hazama's jayoku, litchi, jin, etc) a good thing to do is to have a combo end where they air tech instead of ground tech, then throw an air unblockable or meaty or whatever at them. will definitely throw them off if they're mainly thinking about whether to dp or not.

playing with the computer is challenging and fun! but no, really, that sort of thing makes it harder to get people to look past the moe and stuff and realize there's a deep game they'll really enjoy. i was very relieved when I saw there were static borders, since the animated ones are distracting shit and make it harder to hype the game, and 16:9 isn't really an option. black borders would be even better, though.

we sure do want to make it harder to get people to play this game

in a thread where someone posts a pic of his cat

i want that to be a news article title one day

so yesterday my stick arrived via fedex in dallas and it said it was "out for delivery" by the time i wake up when i head to class i see a fedex truck in the neighborhood when i get back from class, there's no stick and more importantly, no note on my door that says "delivered to waterview office" or anything i check tracking info and, indeed, it's still out for delivery, so i just assumed they had a really fucky route after homework i sort of screw aroudn for hours assuming it'll come at any minute never happens still not delivered i wake up this morning and i check the tracking information "delivered to front door" i look outside, nothing there, not even a delivered to office message i freak out that it got stolen and the idiots just dropped it off then i check the tracking information again and it says it was delivered while i was in class yesterday, not this morning or anything i call waterview office and they say they have my package so the tracking information didnt fucking update until today, erroneously has "delivered to front door" and they didnt leave a fucking note saying where it was > and i set aside time to use it and everything yesterday, and today i have to work my ass off on a project awfully UPS of you, fedex

platinum sounds stupid japs call her platina, which is also more feminine i dont give enough of a shit to call her by her official name deal with it also chooch stop roleplaying as jubei, you will never have fur

Yeah, though her j.c is jump cancellable, too. Also, with wind arcana, ground E moves are jump cancellable. Plus, it's not like she lacks ways to extend pressure, especially if you do homing cancels, and the game is pretty fucking generous with heat, since it doesn't go away when you use it, it just goes on cooldown, and you keep it between rounds.
