MK9 is a decent and solid because when you get past the combos, there’s a big emphasis on basics: ie spacing, zoning, punishing, pokes, set-ups, etc. When the system is that cut and dry, it promotes more mindgames when none of the above is going on. You can even say that, looking past all the stupid shit(all of it) that there was a conscientious effort to build a balanced base, before all the other stuff was added and a bit after. And this is just because the engine is quite simple, but thrives off fundamentals(supposedly).
Melty Blood is a really good ass game. Like for real, I know if it was dressed up different, it’d be something that possibly everyone could appreciate and enjoy. I had to look past all the girl characters (and multiple versions of same girl characters actually being a different character). I really want to pick it back up again. I just know though that it’ll never catch on major. Because of questionable decisions of the developers, like releasing new port ON PC. Yea, that’ll bring in loads of new blood.
But that’s the only “loli” fighter I’ll vouch for. Because once those chicks leave the character select screen, shit gets real crunk. It’s like the little sister of Marvel that actually makes sense and is reasonable. My opinion isn’t shit, but if I said GGXXAC was “best” 2D fg, then Melty is like top 3, at least in this current gen. I love flash and appeal, but I like options, balance, and creativity at the core. This is another of those games. Too bad all some peeps see is the anime chicks. It took me a few matches before I could even respect it.
Btw, 50/50 was hilarious, but also really good. I can relate.
You can beat it, I played through all of LoI and made sure I killed all the bosses. That was years ago though, so I don’t remember how to beat it or what you get from killing it.
I’m playng it on @crazy mode now…beat it long time ago too,on nomal, but I fogot all about checking that door before I pawned it, so i got it again, don’t wantto spoil myself by looking online,
GGs to Chit last night. Drunken Aaron ftw. Gotta get more practice against your Bison with my Chun though. I got bodied pretty bad with her… (sad face)
sees a lot of bitching and trolling going on Business as normal around here, eh?
You’d like Skullgirls then. I can’t wait to get to play it again at Season’s Beatings.
And I crack up when people call Melty a loli fighter. It’s got TWO out of thirty characters, and one of them is a palette swap with different moves. Even then, the sheer manliness of Kouma and Nero Chaos (the latter of whom can summon a GODDAMN RHINO AND ALLIGATOR from of his trenchcoat) overpowers them all.
Skullgirls is going to REQUIRE creativity and excellence in execution. The infinite prevention system is brilliant, the characters are unique, the music is epic, and the features outside of the gameplay also look great (including the CvS2 ratio-style character selection). I’ll be all over it. A lot of guys are just denying the game before playing it because the initial cast is all female, even though most of them main female characters in several other games. Sexist pigs.
oh yeah ggs to Kinetik in lagtastic Tetris Attack, we’ll have to get a full-speed set going eventually, and ggs to everybody in Gear and MvC3.
Yeah I was worried about the game turning into a mindless Blazblue-style combofest too but the infinite prevention system really is rather good, it’s much more likely that you will get reset than eat a huge unbreakable combo.
I can pretty much guarantee that after the 1st week, peeps will not even want to play Skull Girls anymore. Except for Rukus, but he’ll eventually stop when there is nobody else to play but the randoms that show up to Hasting’s and only pick up the controller because of the colors and pretty graphics. I on the other hand, just want to learn Parasoul and make people salty.
Well I for one personally cant wait for skullgirls and will be playing the heck out of it especially since it def looks like it wont be anywhere near as stupid and scrub friendly as mvc3 not to mention it requires a lot more skill/execution to pull off high damage combos. I dig the art style and love the music. Dont really mind the all female cast but some cool looking male players would be nice. I say give the game a chance before passing judgement.
And they’re supposed to be adding male characters as DLC after launch. One of the concept art pieces shows a dude with a tank for a fist. Imagine that: a fucking tank for a fist.
edit: Here’s a picture, because that shit is just too cool:
