At the Eye of The Ragin Storm Part II-Out with VCRs, in with DVD recorders!

Think of the bigger picture, if you want to get corporate sponsorship, obviously they will give a fuck. Nothing to do with hypocrisy man. Obviously if you:re having your scene-based gathering where everything is organized by the players for the players etc then it can be fine…to a EXTENT. But when you want to grow, then obviously, emulation, stolen software etc etc obviously has to fade out of the picture more and more…but there is no straightforward answer, like with the mvc2 situation and how dcs/legit copies of the game are getting rarer and harder to find…forcing people to burn custom mixes of the game…

Well that’s usually it, people use it, people don’t, it’s all really personal preference. I really don’t care if it’s emulated or not, personally, others do. If the crowd there does, I have nothing bad to say of their decision I wholeheartedly understand it, just makes it all the more difficult though if they refuse to play the existing ports.

I think it’s very similar to the MvC2 situation because people totally against piracy would say after you run out of legit copies on dreamcast that you would need move to Xbox or something, but then you run into the dilemma of people not wanting to play the Xbox version. So I wouldn’t say the shortage “forces” anyone to burn the game, they could if adhering to a strict no emulation stance, play them on other systems they just don’t want to because of differences in the game.

Sabin:

Well, I understand the sponsorship part and I agree with that. And hey, I’m not saying that play on emulators>play in the original board, I’m just saying its easier than setup many MVS boards. And cheaper. But yeah, I totally agree with you.

NeoPenny:

There’s a law saying that all the systems that are no longer manufactured by their owners can be legally emulated. I dont remember exactly what the law says, but is something like this. And both MVS board and carts are no longer manufactured. I think the developers of MAME follow this law also… I may be talkin bullshit, I dunno exactly :sweat:.

And, you guys are tellin me that everyone there in USA that plays Marvel 2 on DC, own the original copy of the game? Every EVO stations has an original copy of the game also? :angel:

I have a real copy of MvC2. EVO has real copies of all the games they host at every station.

Nice :wink:

Been playing Tenka lately and was wondering if anyone had any Rimiruru tips?

im starting to wonder if Ken Andrew is even remotely competive against Ten Mina shenanigens… the battle from a distance is a real pain and up close things are just 50/50s which is good to an extent… maybe Ten spirit is better option in that match up?

Ten Spirit is the way to go… best thing to do is spam projectiles and rushdown… mix up throws with weak slash spam… when you start to sniff counter throw attempts, counter with A+B combos… B,B,C xx AA projectile is her best and easiest way to score damage…

when you get cornered you can mix up short wall jumps to land the throw/A+B combo mixup as well… also third option is to foward medium slash overhead mix up when the opponent switches to defensive crouch in anticipation of A+B combos…

hope that helps

I knew I shouldn’t have bought Fatal Fury Battle Archives and Art of Fighting Anthology the same day I got GGXX:AC.

:bluu:

Both of them are still sealed collecting dust on my book shelf.

Thanks. I was thinking is her air platform move good for setting up nasty traps at all?

I’ve yet to see AoF Anthology anywhere.:sad: Ewww at your av by the way.:rofl:

yes but they are extremely situational and character dependent… sometimes the platform is really just a good way to fake out jump ins and bait AA attempts which is still a good thing…

for mid size characters in the corner jump in deep and do the platform as low to the ground as possible then rush in and do hi/low mixups… rinse and repeat this until you see a roll attempt… most of the time it’ll be a short roll so then its a free A+B combo on wake up then rinse and repeat the platform mixup with throws instead of hi/low… or do whatever you feel the opponent is not ready for… odds are that after getting nailed by the same trap in three variations its another free throw…

Intriuging

Stuart, i buy them both off you.

About Rimururu you are forgetting about her SubZero ground freeze (down, down+p)…it must be blocked low ala Gedos spit…and her super is AN OVERHEAD…so if you get a free knockdown beware you can set up an unblockable!!! Or mix up with df+b overhead! Also you are forgetting her OG

SSIV tricks-

(Archived w/other posts)

That is throw a low to the ground iceball, run towards the enemy…tap Forward+E to cross them up and they just block the iceball the other way…nice OG tip.

Yes you can do the ice mid-air projectile off a backdash or like many things where she finishes mid air…

Rimururu is a beast in the right hands believe me…worhty to move up a class.

Yeah FYCN Tokido style Mina is a royal pain to get in on…esp since now with Ten Mina I have many ways to combo into not only super but into multi-arrows I just came up with a practical 70% combo with Mina yesterday in Ten Groove…I will have her ready in case someone gets past Amakusa!!!

For Mina in general the deal is you’ve got to get close…and now I see how Tokido insures his unblockables…I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW HE INSURED HE GOT THEM…BUT NOW I KNOW AND I AINT TELLING… (And I aint talking about doing the uB…I got that down…I am talking about “something else”)

:devil:

Also something about Ten Mina…shes got a trade off like Ten Iroha…she loses theotent EX…but in return she gts a BNB that does about the same amount as SIEGERS in Ten groove!!!

Thing I learned yesterday

I really need a countercharacter to Kim in Coliseum.

Looking for ideas at the moment. Mars People maybe?

Then again, Kim’s a char that always gives me fits in every game that doesn’t have Andy in it.

I miss Andy. I’d like him to return in maybe XII or down the road. But I don’t think he’s that popular :sad:

And here I thought I was the only person who missed Andy.

Andy fans coming out of the closet.

I gotta agree with the “bring back Andy” sentiment, he’s probably my favorite KOF char after Shermie. Though canon-wise, wasn’t he removed because that ninja kid Hokutomaru from Garou was sick? Hopefully they don’t try to replace Andy with Hokutomaru as some sort of protg.

you can use emulators if you own original game (at least here works like this)
so if you have 1 mvs setup you can put each mame you want

btw i recently joined neo empire forum
i want to join UK to play kof2002
