Gamefrog Tournament Sep 24 2011. More details to come.
Tekken Tag 2 soundtrack is BOOTY.
Well, the Christmas stage is all right.
Thoughts for UMVC3:
Vergil: He’s similar to Dante (expected, they’re fucking brothers) but very different at the same time. Couple of things I noticed:
- No Bold Cancel, No double special moves, this will be the big thing that sets him and Dante apart. Vergil looks like he may have some stronger moves at the cost of flexibility like Dante.
- Ryouma’s super from powerstone. Seriously, if you played power stone you have to notice the similarities.
- Tekkaman Blade’s cheap ass cross up move. Jos you gotta look again at his assist, it’s different. Vergil runs through them and carries them across the screen, it’s a little different than Wesker’s.
- Can cancel his uppercut into teleport… looks like his teleport may leave him grounded instead of the air like Dante. Also looks like he can do it in the air.
- Dormmamu style zoning with the slash orbs.
- Oroboros… looks like he can either use the sword wheel hitbox thing (gonna be cheap as fuck with teleport) or he can switch them to a different mode and throw them at people. Looks to be a really cool super, I wonder if his assist retains it?
- Normals seem more long range but not all purpose anti air like dante.
Iron Fist
- Looks like I was right about how he was gonna turn out. Pretty much reskinned Polymar.
- No movement options shown in that video. He’s probably gonna be ass.
- Still a cool Fei Long-ish martial arts character.
On another note:
I want to host a gathering this week at my place. I can do Thursday or Friday, which day would be better for you guys? Let me know and I’ll post up the official day.
AE PC costume modding is too gdlk, screenshots to come
Hope to see you there and it would be nice if the venue has good internet. But either way, I’ll be recording matches. I’m also setting up BBCS as the first game to be streamed/recorded this Saturday and will try to get top 4 in T6, 3SO, MK9, MvC3 and AE
He honestly looks faster than Dante and it looks like he might have different teleports, I could have sworn I saw him appear in the air as well as on the ground. And seriously wondering what kind of buffs he gets in that DT mode of his. All I’ve really seen is him lvl. 3 someone from it.
:tup:
For me it’s KOF, SC and Final Showdown. Nothing else will be day 1. My expectations for KOF and SC aren’t super-high, but I think both will be at worst decent.
Agree with you on Apology Edition. I have more fun with Arcana then anything Capcom has made this gen- and me playing Arcana is a laughable concept.
Too lazy to edit…but I was mistaken, he just teleports in 2 different places on the ground. Ground teleport looks like it takes you directly behind someone and air teleport takes you in front of them. Depending on what you can cancel the teleport from in the air might lead to some interesting chains.
AH3 seems like a pretty good game - but did they have to make the endings so lesby?
Jeez… :looney:
I did something kind of dumb today. I went around my school trying to advertise my tournament, but I asked the thuggish guys and gals and before they opened their mouths I already knew what games they wanted to play.
DAT MADDEN!!!
People talking about BB like it’s GG or something. Crazy.
Re: Negative Penalty in GG, you will still see tournament matches where people get Negative Penalty in certain matchups, it doesn’t necessarily prevent you from playing a keepaway/runaway game. All depends on how determined you are and how much the matchup is in your favor. You will see people get Negative Warning in BB as well, though it’s much more dangerous there.
I was always a fan of the Negative Penalty in GG, it made the game unique.Its like this Turtle if you want, but you are gonna pay. You can still win, we just aint gonna make it easy for you. As far as a balancing aspect, the system is dope. To me GGXX the Midnight Carnival was the greatest FG there ever was. Close second would be KOF 94,and Groove on Fight.(^o^)/
Radiant Silvergun is out today on XBLA. HOW DID THIS SNEAK UP ON ME?!?!?
If you like shoot em ups, you need to download the trial. One of the best ones ever made, with the soundtrack done by Sakimoto, the same guy who did Final Fantasy Tactics and XII
He can do his level 3 without devil trigger, but I think… maybe, DT gives him an air dash if he doesn’t have one before, only time I saw him air dash was in devil trigger. He looks like his damage might not quite be on par with dante… Dante’s OTG shit seems to be what lets him continue for days where people would usually just tech out.
Zero Dante Strider Vergil… so many god damn sword characters, I don’t even know who to use now T_T
Zero and Strider have the least swords so one of them. Though Zero has a lasersword and can be on fire so drop Strider then.
Nah Zero is auto on my team. Just gotta see what kind of assists they all have. Doctor strange has some move called sword of something or other so he can be on the list too haha
Vergil can wall jump. Something I noticed in the matches released so far. And yes, he’s lacking in OTG options, the only move I’ve seen so far that seems to be able to OTG is High Time.
He looks faster than Dante, but that may just be the way his moves animate. Of course, he was the faster of the two in DMC3 as well. Summoned Swords hyper -> teleport looks good, but you see it in one of the posted matches and it looks like Vergil’s recovery from the teleport is just long enough to prevent him from comboing off of the swords. If he can still self-assist with it, and if he has a good assist, I could see him being a very strong anchor. Team DMC looks strong.
