OMG I didn’t know that folks still played this game. starts looking for my copy
So I decided to interview Yipes about this game at PAX. Because who wants to see another boring old Marvel video.
Sup bros, anyone still care about this game? lol… ANYWAY
http://www.twitch.tv/daiandoh/b/402440273 Around 40mins of matches from last night, starting at about 2:50. Spur of the moment thing kinda. Players were:
Alzarath (Neptune/Mercury)
XAQShinor (Mars)
Mynus (Jupiter)
DaiAndOh (Blue Uranus)
A3Religion (Black Uranus)
DandyStepper (Mercury)
Been a minute since I touched this, felt good to go in on it even for a little while 
I was about to post this. Good job Alz.
It would be great to actually have a dedicated gathering/stream/tournament for this game one weekend, with NTF, Skillionaire, Yipes, Roku, etc. (not like ACR drops anytime soon).
+1 for “how did I only see this thread now?”
Spirit Juice introduced the game to me about a year or two ago and it’s good shit. It’s brutal and cheap, like Super Turbo. Thread subscribed.
Maybe we should try and set something up over the summer? I’d love another chance to showcase this game ;o
I care, I’m just having piss poor luck finding a Linux emulator that’ll run this game right anymore. Either it won’t go past character select, or there’s random invisible projectiles.
Please tell me somebody’s running a setup for this at Evo.
And if nobody is, how do we make this happen?
I thought up a tier list for the Super S version while playing with friends the other day.
Top:
Saturn
High:
Neptune
Mid:
Jupiter
Mars
Pluto
Moon
Uranus
Mercury
Venus
Bottom:
Chibi-Moon
Saturn is so powerful it’s not funny. Her weak air fireball can lock many characters in the corner (you can backdash to avoid damage but you will be stuck there, and sooner or later one will hit you), she has insane priority with her staff, if she throws you in the corner she can mix you up extremely badly, her projectile damage is extremely high, and she has a great desperation that can infinite on hit OR block (though it is extremely hard to do.) You can block the last hit of her desperation, but the chip will hurt (Still better than the 50% it does unblocked.) Only real weakness is a lack of a reversal (though she has a quick backdash, so using that when under pressure will get her out of many situations.)
Neptune’s DP is the best DP in the game, and she still has her low projectile and even gained a decent high projectile. Solid character all around.
Jupiter lost her ground projectile and got an average one in return, but she is still a powerhouse that can chip you badly with her air fireball and 360 you all day.
Mars lost her AA fireball and got another bad one. Still has her great ax kick and corner lock, but zoning is harder for her.
Pluto can hurt if she corners you with her fierce tornado and her new AA projectile helps her a lot. Bad normals though.
Moon lost her air fireball and got a shit ground one in return. Still an okay shoto.
Uranus gained a slow startup anti-air projectile and still has her Shadow Dash move (not sure she can still infinite off of it.). She lacks a solid reversal but her offense makes her a major threat (provided she gets in safely.)
Mercury lost her good charge fireball for a bad non charge one. Still good with her normals and tornado, but that fireball loss hurts quite a bit.
Venus blah blah ground fireball blah blah shit ground fireball blah blah queen of chipping blah blah needs corner to be effective.
Chibi-moon just plain sucks and requires a lot of skill to play. She lost her fullscreen chip DM and got a auto tracking instant hit projectile in return, but the startup and recovery are horrible.
The first time I come to Evo (not this year sadly), everyone better get their sticks prepped for SNES, because I’m bringing my SNES with my hard copy of the game. No emus when I’m around.
If no one brings a setup, just bring your laptop, ZSNES, and a ROM.
Honestly, that was what I hated about Super S, is a lot of characters lost great tools for really bad ones, some lost mediocre ones for bad ones, and one character that really didn’t need a buff was Neptune, and she got one, and Saturn is just…retarded. Obviously Akuma in this game.
Yeah, I was afraid it was gonna come down to me having to do it myself and just wanted to make sure nobody else was planning to before I brought a whole bunch of extra crap with me to Evo.
Guess I’ll have to go ahead and test out whether the old laptop supports PS3 sticks.
Yeah, I’m sure there are other nerfs I’m missing. I know Jupiter got her Axel Kick nerfed (no longer hits 15 times on cross up.) It still does, I was just doing it wrong.
When I can, I’m practicing Jupiter and Moon. I’ve got some good Neptune tech now, I just need more matchup experience.
(Which I’m obviously not going to get without being back around actual players of the game.)
@Alzarath, does Mynus know about Jupiter’s BDC Air Projectile? I think it’d be a useful tool in his inventory, and there are certainly several instances where it’s going to be needed.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure he knows.
Cool, just thought I’d ask because I didn’t remember seeing it in his matches.
Not to say it’s the easiest thing to do in the game, though. But it really is useful for a Jupiter player.
I can see why they didn’t bother with the life bar in training mode.
edit: Which one looks better?
So I found you can do supers with <10 seconds left on the clock, regardless of health. Is this well known?
Wow that’s a pretty cool mechanic actually lol
Also pretty sure I found charge buffering in this game. Not sure how useful it will be though. Does anyone except Venus have a flashkick motion?
