Looks like if you kill Phoenix with a snapback with Spencer in the corner, you can X-factor the level 5 burst and guarantee a command grab? And Spencer can guarantee to end his combo in a snapback if he kills her with up-grapple, so basically Spencer can solo-kill Phoenix at any time as long as he has X-factor?
Team Nemo is pretty cool, I wouldn’t be surprised if it really was the best team in the game like Nemo said it was. How does it handle Morrigan I wonder? He seems to handle Magneto on point fine, and Phoenix on anchor fine…
PROTIP: Kid Icarus gets significantly easier once you get past the first 3 vertical scrolling levels of death… Took me forever to make it to the first fortress, then I pwned the boss and made my way through the next 3 levels in one go. wtf.
Team Nemo is pretty awesome… I don’t think any of the characters are top tier (they’re REALLY good though), and they combine to make a seriously awesome team. I just don’t think it’s the best team in the game. Not cheap enough I don’t think.
do we have any sort of rough idea when this gaming marathon thingy might be happening? on a saturday/sunday perhaps? ill likely need to book the day off of work.
im not sure if i can do the resident evil run atm since the emulations run like total ass on my comp. ill try and figure them out though. i may do a run of comix zone on the megadrive though since i know i can finish that one. still really wanna get through alien soldier as one of the games but that game is hard as smashing your balls in between two house bricks.
also john, you know that you can 2 player co op DMC3 by using doppelganger style and a second controller right? you probs need a cheat (or i think there may be a costume unlock) that allows unlimited devil trigger so it wont run out. you could pull off some totally mental shit doing double dante combos.
edit : shit. just read that they took it out of the HD collection. Lame.
It probably makes Phoenix activate at a certain height, really close to the ground? And snapback is the only thing fast enough to connect after up-grapple to create this height? I have no idea but it’d be my guess.
^ I doubt it has to be a snapback… Just needs to be in range for XFC > Party Time.
Thor seems to have some pretty cool anti-phoenix stuff too, but looks like you gotta get a charged mjolnir’s might off before she pops? Probably not the easiest thing to setup, but at least he has it where a lot of other characters have nothing.
i thought that phoenix activation puts her in an airborne state for a very short period of time even if she is on the ground doesnt it? spideys anti phoenix tech requires killing her with maximum spider and xfactor as soon as you touch the ground, and that super ends with the opp being put straight to the floor. then again actually she might activate rage mode right before she touches the ground since i know its possible to get DHCs in as they are real low instead of them popping up when you do it earlier.
I dont think snapback is required but it seems like the reason he uses it is because it has fast recovery so that he has time to block the activation burst so he can xfactor it and command grab.
Sucks they took it out in the HD Collection, but yeah, I knew about two-player Doppelganger. The Super Dante costume gives you unlimited DT so you can have fun with it that way, but… I don’t think I’d consider it for a relatively serious run. A fun run, sure, but even then there’s not much intrigue when you have unlimited DT to be overpowered with.
There’s a ton of advanced tech to explore with Royalguard, so I think a Royalguard-only run could be a nice way to spice things up for something like a streamed playthrough. Gold Releases can probably two-shot every boss in the game. Too bad they’re not that easy.
Was there ever any doubt? I think everyone pretty much knew the outcome before it started… Smash players are going to support the game they love (and there are legions of them) and MLP would obliterate everything with the power of the bronies and Internet trolls combined but might not be finished in time.
…I didn’t think they’d go and gyp the bronies like that though. But that pretty much guaranteed smash will be in.
Gonna be an interesting Evo for sure. I don’t know how they’re going to fit everything in? (Or spend all that money, because it’s gonna be huge with all the smash peeps)
How are they even goin to run smash? Swap out all the setups for gamecubes and shitty CRTs? Doesn’t smash have all these fucked up judging responsibilities? My guess is that they’ll be pushed off to the side with not enough space/coverage and the smash fans are going to walk away feeling pissed and cheated.
i remember hearing that wizard had said that items would be allowed if they did a smash tourney since they are a part of the game and everything. if that happened i cant imagine the levels if salt that would come from the smash community.
