MK9 demo is pretty fun. Anyone else gave it a spin yet?
Is it out?
EDIT:
Also, Mamoru Hosoda checked in after the quake and I’m all “thank god”:
It’s available now to playstation plus members. mere mortals wont get it until next week. :lol:
Dammit, I thought the non PsPlus version was out now.
That said, what do I get with PsPlus anyway?
Money will be lighter this year due to a cancelled XBL subscription :awesome.gif:
Main perks are that you get early access to demos and free games, among other things. Tradeoff is that if you cancel the subscription at any point, you lose access to those acquired games.
Holy shit, Okami on the Wii is blurry as fuck: I can’t see anything.
Also, I lawled when I looked at Sakuya’s character design: you can see her ass because they randomly decided to cut a hole in the back of her skirt.
It don’t make no fucking sense.
I was messing around with a new squad (Hsien-ko/Ammy/Viper) yesterday and got some interesting results.
Hsien-Ko gold pendulum is one of the best assists in the game, period. It’s good offensively and defensively, as it will interrupt almost anything within range, including beam hypers. She’s terrible on point though, no mobility (her airdash is an airwalk) and terrible damage output (barely pushing 5K with super and spike balls do random damage). Her mixup is decent enough, she has semi-instant OHs with an IAD using B/C and pendulum is ok pressure, but she’s basically unplayable without a good assist x__x.
People were punishing my raw tags after hyper, so I found some semi-safe setups. You can anki-hou item throw and time some staggered gongs so that they’re in blockstun when you tag. This gets blown up by teleport and full-screen supers though, which a lot of characters have. Gold pendulum is so good, it’s way better than Gouki tatsu even but you have to watch your life as she’ll always be on-screen for the full duration of her assist. Overall, I put her in the class of “assist only character” who are ass on point, along with Doom and Sentinel (yeah, the robots).
I’d write about Ammy and Viper, but ya’ll know all about them. Cold star gives a free level 3 focus unblockable, you got airthrow resets from OTG seismo, and slow super makes it way easier to spam more ground-pound. Both characters are awesome fun but fold like paper.
On an unrelated note, I was wrong about Zero having no good zoning options without 3 meters. Genei Jin hadangeki wave spam is gdlk and level 3 buster shot is cloned as well(!). You can even hit confirm into a dive loop if you’re close to the corner.
See you guys tomorrow.
Anyone showing up for RnC action?
Maybe. Yes. lol. What is this suddenly? You’re Martin’s cousin? How did he know you knew me? I’m so confused.
But yay for iRL plot twists. 
Thanks for the tips and link to Tragic’s channel. I somehow completely forgot about his videos even though they were pretty much spammed frontpage.
At this point though, I think I just need to play more. I don’t actually own the game, so that makes keeping up with everyone else more difficult than it should be.
That’s possibly the only playable Sonic game since 1999. Sonic Rush aside.
>-> No, nothing like that. lol.
I want to try this! If I remember correctly, Johnny Cage should be playable in the demo.
Is his mash-HP-during-fatality-for-multiple-heads confirmed?
PS2 Okami is far superior. 
I was just talking to him and he mentioned your screen name and I was like wait I know this dude.
I actually never knew about the Mister Masters video till now, but I was always familiar with this one about Phoenix Wright:
YouTube - EmpyreanAria’s Channel
For the record, Secret Rings became playable when you bought enough upgrades to make the game stop sucking.
(also, supposedly, Colors was very decent)
THAT SAID, MK9 demo should be available to non-PsPlus member next week and we can likely get it on Zaku’s PS3 or something.
I’m actually surprised at how this port is coming out given how nice the Resident Evil 4 port came out…
But, yes, Godhand for the PS2 is clearer on my TV than Okami… that’s not a good sign.
hmm…i looked at a recent email, and it said that we have crossroads today. if people dont check the forums today, we will meet outside of park to figure out where to go.
@chrisis-i just saw that video this morning cause my computer has sound. wow, f-ing office max rubber band balls.
Crossroads? Woo-hooo!
Crossroads is the dining hall up the way? Correct?
Anyways I dont think Ill be able to make it today. Ha.
Can’t seem to find “crossroads” on the map . 
@DKL Oh right, I forgot about Colors. Kinda want to try that.
Also, will we be needing an additional IIDX controller? I has.
Something about the hotel in Las Vegas and how he seemed deftly surprised that I know people with internet fame.
It’s between mary ward hall / food court. It’s a cafeteria type place and has big windows, it’ll be hard to miss!
I’m interested in attending this dojo thingy, but I have no idea what’s going on. It’s happening today and it’s located at “Crossroads”?
its offical. we can use the hella big ass screen! if any of you are confused, you can always call me, or ask anyone in the buildings whereing a purple shirt. they work here and should know where the crossroads is located. anyways, see you all in an hour!
