EGS/Rochester, NY Area Players Thread ( December 2003 )

Well, I used to have it(SVC) I got to play a couple time (I never played agaist the cpu (arcade mode) so I haven’t experience playing agaist some of those Freaky/Crazy mother %%% bosses yet) and find it the game to be very interesting and fun to play. I was like I most give it a try. How can’t you not play a vs game of this magnitude. If SNK/Capcom are behind it you know the game gone be at least decent even thought this time around SNk didn’t surpass my expectation. I was expecting better graphics and atleast 2 grooves to select from(I miss rolling :-(…), nevertheless the game is cool the way its(although I think MVS hardware should be replace for something more powerfull in the making of futures SNK fighters. Like this SNK will finally be able to bring to it’s fans a much better quality of fighting games; visually and gameplay-wise).

Ron: Yeah, I dunno. That’s what he said said on AIM so I just went with it. I was wondering why he plays the chars with the larger learning curves, but he does know what he’s doing. He did get me in a Mist Finer loop at one point. He runs away a lot with Eddie, which actually works. I guess he ph34rs the Dust Loop from myself and John. :lol:

John: Uh…Steve’s yesterday? I’ve been back home since Thursday, so I didn’t know anything about Steve’s. ^^;; So if someone contacted you, it wasn’t me this time. =P

hahaa~ you bet i do~
dust loop is pure evil in ggxx…
this is li yu, randall, by the way… :slight_smile:
in classes i tell people my name is li because that’s the name the school knows.
randall is just a stupid/funny name i got used with.
and i donno why i like eddie and johnny so much… :rolleyes:
it’s just fun to use them… heh

RON: have you fought athena yet… XD?!
i stopped playing svc when i realized it sucks away your kof touch.
no small jumps, no rolls… and other weird stuff…
i did like zero a lot tho~

notes about svc :

LMC : yea I do miss rolling ALOT, and cvs2>svc. I guess somethings that I don’t like about svc are:

  1. no rolling
  2. no roman cancel unless you have max meter
  3. snk engine
  4. how the hell do you get around goenitz when all he does is cower and throw those uber fast/ fast recovery hurricanes from the ground.
  5. snk engine
  6. my current lack of knowledge of the game and not really willing to learn.
  7. snk engine
  8. yea so those 5 reasons pretty much make up for unwillingness to really get too much into the game.

Randall : no I dont know the reqs for fighting the bosses so I’ve only fought shin karate and shin gouki, but i know the red devil from one of the capcom games is in there, athena, some great big monster that looks kinda like atma weapon from ff3 with a guy on top, and something else i think. Evil Ken’s pretty cool too very fast dash, unless that was a comp only dash. I tried zero out, didn’t really like the way he played.

SVC itself : I can’t play that game unless im akuma, not even kim --_–.

GGXX : I was just thinking, since ex. faust has the old insta-kill; What do bridget, i-no, slayer, and zappa look like with afros? I showed my friend faust’s air FDC in GGX and his reaction was, wth faust can float?

Now that I think about it a little bit more, maybe its not just the snk engine. i prefer the marvel fighters engine up to and not including mvc2 (too ridiculous here) and the guilty gear series. I guess im not too into strict timing unless its for an infinite.

Hey everyone since I’m too poor to buy christmas cards, Merry christmas guys. close enough i figured, Hate does not do justice to the feelings I have for the traffic caused by holiday shopping. the score so far is taxi’s 0 me 3 random guy 10. arggg. well I’ll be heading back to rochester around the 27th, if your in the nyc area anytime before then feel free to give me a call if you have my number. it’s boring staying inside. actually no it’s boring not being able to play ffxi, it’s a drug and i need my 6 hour fix. I will try to bring mah jong next time i come back, let’s see if parents notice their missing their MJ table. well again have a safe holiday season take care everyone.

Thanks for the Holiday well wishes Ira , I extend the same to you & everyone reading this, Happy Holidays :).

My present from my GF is going to be Xbox Live, now all I need is Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, & DOA Ultimate Collection V.1 (why did they have to change the name? So lame, so very lame).

She’s a big racing game fan, she’s getting Project Gotham 2 (shhhhhhh, she doesn’t know yet :wink: ).

-Bad Karma-

Merry Christmass Every body… Even to those who don’t like me. LOL.

Zack, I got a few question for you:

1- Which ATI card(which model. I know its a ATI, but forgot the model you once told me you have) you got inside your Mega-PC, at the moment?

2- Which games are giving you the most trouble, because of drivers incompatability problems with your games?

3- Have you had any technical/Hardware related problem with your card or the problem you had and/or still experiencing are mostly sofware related?

I bought a new video card. It was a hard choise though. My heart was telling me to go with nvidia chipset card, but my wallet told me to buy what was best for the money, which was exactly what I did. I got a ATI radeon 9800 pro (I pay $261 on the NET. I save $39 since the card is been sold for $300+ on local store) which I hope will do the job(I just need half life 2 to complete the combo).

A la EBAY(lol):
If anybody need a decent video card for a great price then check this out:

I got a extra video card–>ATI RADEON 9000(original ATI builded no 3rd party brands. Its a month old. Got it from Bestbuy. Its in mint condition) in retail box that I will sale for half price. If anybody is interested let me know(I paid $79.99 + taxes. I will sale it for $42. Less the half if you do the math)

edit:
To does who aply only…
Ohh!! I almost forgot, Happy bidding , good luck, and Merry christmass to all those that are interested in buying my Item only. Those who aren’t interested I guess you can ignore this msg since it wasn’t meant for you in the first place.

–The way of a Ebay seller.

wow… samurai showdown zero’s rom is already out…
it’s way too early… oh well…
kinda fun…

Someone download that ROM and get it working by the next EGS meeting. I wanna play that shizzle when I come back. =)

Merry Christmas all. ^^ I got FFXI as an early Christmas present, but still waiting on the computer to play it on. =( It should be here some time next week.

I think randall has it.
it seems to be implied by his post.

yeah i do… but…

  1. i only have pads…
  2. or keyboard, if you perfer that… XD
  3. someone was able to run MAME on his xbox and play svc on it, maybe it’ll be better that way… =)

ss4 still rules… :wink:

SSZ is fun. Specially if you are a fan of the series. like me :).

I just got sAMURAI sHOWDOWN-zERO off somebody at kaillera. I still can’t believe I have it.

I like the evil Haumaru look alike character(never see him before in the series so I guess, he’s one of the new chara…)

Where is Kof2k3…Bet you is been hack as we “speak”.

I want to give a shout out to the christmas moogle, without you there would be no air raiders, that would be sad. I want to salute courvoisier for it smooth ways. I want to comment that today was not only christmas but it was also “nationial people who are not in a religion celebrates christ goes to the movie day”, and note it was once jews goes to the movies day, but as american has become the pot luck it is a more suitable name must be here. and since new years is so close and I’m probably not going to see this post until after I want to wish that the New Year brings happiness, joy and mah jong into the hearts of everyone, this is fasno wishing everyone a goodnight Peace Out world

I would also like to thank the christmas moogle for all the firecrackers that are so overpriced at the AH that it makes my head spin:)

Hey, sorry I been gone for a bit, visiting my GF’s family in Michigan and one of my best friends (some of you met him, Jake). I did grab some anime-related goodies for some of you guys here.

Jake’s getting FFXI now, so I’ll get him into Fairy. I prolly wouldn’t enjoy the game nearly as much if it wasn’t for the community and playing with the local guys (cuz I absolutely hate waiting for a group by myself) and I’m excited about getting him into this. I can’t believe you guys helped me to an almost L30 samurai already and I’m excited about soloing around for a while as beastmaster. Hope all my stuff is sold when I get back, I just decked out my SAM and MNK with some of the nicest outfits possible.

SS0 calls for hooking up my MAS and sidewinders to my PC. C’mon Ira and Evan!

<sigh>

So alone…

So very alone…

2 hour wait for a group makes me said.

On the plus side I killed one of the treants with about 50 other people. Man was that laggy as hell.

Anime Related Goodes = Top Tier. =)

I got a bunch of games for Christmas as well. Bobby was right. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is fun as hell.

So when does EGS start back up again (if they get to)?
Looking forward to seeing you guys again :D.

Griffy here, Wilson’s on my PC helping with the bard quest and he brought his PC to farm some notorious monsters. Why’s it hard to get a group? I’d imagine that BLM would be one of the first members wanted. Uppers 20s is kind of a pain tho to me cuz I hate waiting. According to Wilson, BLM sucks at high lvls cuz you get better damage and down time from the front line.

Don’t you have some local buddies to group with too? Anyhow, guess you have no one to thank but yourself cuz we offered you a world pass (Wilson has one open right now as a matter of fact :)). Getting that (at the time) L5 BLM back up would’ve only taken an hour when you know what you’re doing.

Wilson upped my textures to 2048 rez and it the FPS stayed pretty consistent and the game is VERY PRETTY~~! Gotta say his bard is a huge boost to parties…

Think my main will be monk/sam now.

BLM suck at higher lvls??? Hmmm i dunno about that from what I understand BLM are always wanted. Problem for me is that I am in Qufim when everyone is out of Qufim and doing kazam(I know thats not the spelling I can never remember it). If you play the BLM right you have very little down time also. Also in terms of dmg I thought it goes Ranger = Greatest (though they are an extremly expensive class) then BLM and the Nuking(not as hard to get hate off of). Oh well I guess it was a matter of preference. And no I don’t have myself too blame because I had invited a couple of other people to my world already with a WP before you guys even offered me one. BTW who was the one who kept asking on who was getting the game like 3 months in advance???:rolleyes: Oh well whats done is done. Has your server finished the Trees?? Our server killed em all over the weekend:) Most fun I have had in that game so far.

It takes you an hour to get to lvl 5??? took me a half an hour:)
