haven’t heard of dragon’s crown and i don’t see it on sale but let me know how it feels! still haven’t pulled the trigger on DDN but it sounds lacking?
AvP really is the king. there were several BEUs in SF2’s wake that incorporate fighter elements and they all had a DP character but as usual for capcom, they did it best. i think lynn kurosawa showed up in marvel 1 and MIA since. i’d enjoyed another from that had a cool ryu-type from konami called… silent dragon or something.
final fight’s prob my most re-bought game after SSF2T.
Been in and out of town last 2-3 weeks… got to play with sniping_dreamer in some online marvel! Was a lot of fun, with relatively playable internet!!
GG’s man. We played prolly 70+ games and I wasn’t tired of it at all :O!
Seems like the roll with Capt. and daggers is a little hard to block online though >.> Could of sworn I was blocking correctly a couple times. XF3 Authur… is a thing >_> Hopefully we can get some games in tonight as well. See everyone tonight ;o
I wish I could make it. I’ll be knee deep in setting up our local EGS’s, LAN Party
@Grifter dragons crown is amazing it’s a vanilla wear game creators of muramasa , the lv cap is 250, randomly generated levels so it’s never the same, really good character customization ie skill tree and weapons. I have a lv 200 elf and it was fun the whole way.
@FightersLegend 
Yeah that mixup isn’t that strong at all. In fact I should probably find someone with a high-low backed up by daggers. I tried Nova, but as you could tell yesterday, that didn’t work out lol.
Also yes, XF3 Arthur is “a thing”. I have no shame saying I’ve won a lot of games with a level 3 XF shenanigans.
However, countering Arthur is easier than it is, namely superjump upback or throwing him when he’s doing his j.S stuffs. j.S, his only source of mobility, is pretty unsafe and throwable.
I wonder if there’s a way to option-select Arthur’s only form of mobility and a throw. Would make life a bit easier.
Going to an mlg sponsored smash tournament this weekend. Btw I got3rd in marvel in toronto last week and Andrew got 4th in Sf losing losers semi because an xbox red ringed.
I learned a ton though. Namely thay every wolverine in rochester sucks and how to fightzero better.
Roll with daggers is hard to block in person too.
Hope everyone comes out tonight. Also talk to sinn if you plan on going to toryuken next weekend
Links to music I made. The first link all instruments played by me, the second I did vocals, guitar, drums, and keys. Some dark souls themed stuff, most are inspired by games tv or movies, all but two are instrumental. With 6 songs it’s a few minutes out of your day so please listen and let me know what you think! And if you like it pass it on!
We got a musician and an emerging poet. I know we here for games, but I’m hype to see people expanding skills sets in all types of ways.
YO!
Looking forward to checking this out tonight! How you been hiding all this??
Man…
Also:
New art is up!
Updated ‘Arcade’ section with 5 new flyers!
I even put in AvP after our Beat-em up discussion cuz that flyer was pretty great.
And ‘Beatdown City’ got funded in its last hour. That shit was hype!
Minorities makin games!
@Dan - I draw. But I draw mostly terrible things. Mainly waifus.
I want to draw a character like the Amazon in Dragon’s Crown.

It’s awesome.
Is next week the last EGS for this semester? I wouldn’t mind if we had a beat-em-up day since there are a lot of godlike games that never saw a home console. AvP as mentioned but also Battle Circuit, Sengoku 3, and Denjin Makai 2 are also really solid, though AvP has them beat. What I love about AvP is that the aerial game feels great for everyone but Dutch Schaefer. Linn has the reload glitch where if she empties her clip mid air, you tap the gun on the ground and she recovers instantly so you can fight while reloading, so she had the best gun imo. Doing sword otg pickups into air throw never gets old. Probably the easiest character to beat the game with since she also has good wave clear with her slide, sword swipe, and sokeiha (charge punch then let go). The predators do more combo damage and have beastly mobility but they are harder to use because you can get anti-aired pretty easily if you are too reckless on those quick forward jumps. But yea Warrior divekick and Hunter doing the Blanka ball are pretty cool in this game. Not only that but the Hunter doing overheat canceled shoryukens like CvS2 Sakura is just so sick.
Y’all got a chef in here as well, I cook all kinds of food, restaurant grade, yo.
Cooking, for me, is calming. Y’all should try my enchiladas or steak. I also make a mean pizza.
AvP was the best EVER
NEW TRACKS ARE UP.
Put up Cybernator and Contra.
Check 'em out.

@GarbageBear did you listen to the tracks? If so what did you think?
This Buffalo tournament is turning out to be quite a thing. Too bad it’s so many months away.
Unfortunately, other than EVO and the other majors this weekend (ECT)/next weekend (Toryuken)/next next weekend (UFGT)/CEO (another time), there seems to be a lack of tournaments after EVO. I’m sure this has been in the norm, but now that I have all summer and some income, I can actually go these tournaments.
It’s like they cramped three tournaments this month, which just happens to be the busiest for a lot of us.
There’s free Spring Fighter 2014 tournament on 6/7-6/8 in NYC.
Summerjam’s in August 29th, which is basically Fall at that time, and RIT starts semesters in August now.
I guess when I go home every other weekend I’ll just play people in Buffalo for not-Rochester competitoin.
When’s the buffalo tournament?
I liked ‘Key to The Seal’ and ‘Wade’ the most.
‘Lordran’ was pretty good too.
One thing I’ve come to find in sharing my work is that irs difficult to get any feedback. I’m going to help you out and give you some:
-Sometimes the music jumbles together into a blob of sound. I’m not sure if its a matter of production or what, but the instruments need more definition, more sharpness.
-It’s great that you like to use a lot of texture. I enjoyed that, the music has weight. But I believe you should try and diversify, record some solo drum work. Maybe solo guitar, try to see how far you can go in emoting under restraint. This will help your more textured works become more defined.
-Keep going.
Bonus round: based on what I heard, check out these bands:
-Boris
-Salem
-Chipzel
-Interpol
-The National
-Bombino
-Venetian Snares
Keep it up!!
