Saskatchewan Thread 2011

who gives a fuck about the extras, its a fighting game. the only part that matters is how it plays in versus mode.

Fucking exactly! Thank you!.

Quoted for truth.

LOL number crunching FTW

SF4 - single player only exists to grind for achievements and colors. great VS game. $120 original purchase price (SF4 & SSF4) / approx. 1,500 hours playtime (at LEAST) - $0.08 an hour. that is a smokin deal.

MvC3 - single player? haven’t even fired it up. $60 original price / approx 60 playtime already. $1 an hour.

Blazblue - single player had a widely lauded story mode, mission mode is supposed to be fun. in depth tutorial system. don’t like Blazblue characters or how it plays. $120 original price (CT & CS) / approx 20 hours playtime - $6 an hour.

KoFXII - the entire game was garbage. $75 original price / approx. 2 hours of playtime - $32.50 an hour. what a ripoff.

considering the MK series track record I’m thinkin it’ll be roughly on par with KoFXII in terms of quality, and even with all the extra padding they put into single player… it could never rival a quality fighting game when it comes to bang for your buck

Talk to Merlin or Levar.

Contrary to popular believe Kharrn and Sakeido some people actually like different modes in their game besides arcade, training mode, and online play. Some people like to have something else besides grind online so stop trying to justify the 60-70 bucks that you paid for mvc3 cuz we all know that game should of been like 29.99 for what it offers. Oh and for the online features it does include it doesn’t even offer what was in super sf4.

@johrjives, you should probably message merlinownsyou! or normanjr911, they are the ones who usually set stuff up.

fine if were just going on with this hate train of yours.

It dosent matter how many silly modes mk9 has it cant save bland and uninspired game play.

Or better yet, with all the bad MKs they should just give this one for free, its just silly there charging us full price.

I agree with a little bit of everyones pros n cons on mk9.everyone is suspect on these next gen fighting games due to some game programers taking shortcuts and catch n release style tactics.im gonna hold on to my cash on this one just to see wut the verdict is once the full ver is in.all i hope for is mk to have a fully finished and polished game

God i hate touch screen phones ffs!!! Eg my phone likes to send these messages randomly

Paying MVC3 at full price was a big regret for me, even in spite of the game being terrible it didn’t really offer a lot outside the missions and dull arcade mode. Anyhow I’m not trying to hype MK9 because of the extra features, rather I was suggesting that the game has more appealing qualites then other fighters in regards to its offline modes. Naturally this won’t matter if the game is terrible, but it’s still nice to have.

As for MK9, I’ve been playing the demo a lot and I just can’t see the game turning out bad. I’m not saying it will be perfect, but if the demo is any indication then it should have no issue competing with the likes of SF4 and MVC3. If I did have some issues though, it would be:

-No jump-ins, UMK3 had them so why cant MK9?
-Cant cancel specials from crouching normals
-Combo break doesn’t open into a combo

I still have high hopes for the game regardless though, like I said it reminds me a lot of a fusion between SF and Tekken so I’m down 100%.

Dude seriously wtf is your problem? I played you on sf4 and you accused me of being from saskatoon and when i went on whooping your sorry ass abel you said and i quote “You saskatoon players dont know how to block!” Dumb ass i dont need to block when i can jump in on your simple ass abel for free. Dude your just bad at the game. You talk about bnb fei stuff to Rick? Ive seen him do EXCW into standing fierce 90% of the time in a f10 i had with him and he was on PAD. Your dumb ass cant even do Abels bnb. Its evident your salty at Rick for beating you free, dont blame the connection either im from the states and i played you on 4bar smoothly. Pathetic rager! Stay free scrub your whole gameplan is roll tornado throw lol on some Day1 shit. Also dont think i forgot about the racist shit you said either.

EXCW into… anything? Really? Must do things in online play that have /never/ happened irlz. I’m not even trolling. This has never even been attempted in real life. I doubt your post.

Jayson, I agree with you. Waiting till the game comes out is probably the best way to determine it’s awesomeness. I think this is funny, people are angry, fighting about a game… and it’s not even released. The demo is out, sure. The demo is for a taste, not to decide the game’s fate!

LOL hey I remember you. You were screaming and shouting and freaking the fuck out the whole time, it was gold :lol: racist stuff though? hmm you don’t need to make stuff up here friendo

Its so long ago I don’t remember how the games went but I couldn’t forget you… Guile player I think?

In my time of playing SF4 offline at the TTFs, I connected after a CW a good 90% of the time as you said prod. The other 10% I’d either whiff or just try for a simplier combo if I didn’t feel like I could connect with a s.HP. Fei is a exeuction heavy character so I would never have picked him if I didn’t think I could handle his BnBs. Some people might not get this impression though because I usually go for simple high damaging combos, but initially when I played SF4 for the first time my style was very different. Back when I was still in TTFs, I was the"combo video"of the scene back in the day because I always went for the most amazing looking combos as opposed to the most practical combos…I was all style but no substance lol.

Its kind of funny that I dont main MVC3 as a result of my old combo happy days, but I dunno it just didnt feel rewarding enough for me. MK9 combos arent that difficult either but you cant mash into them at least so I feel less guilty lol.

Lol seriously this dude just said you cant connect after excw? I can get it about 85% plinking tho ive never really practiced it. But the fact you get it on pad? Just crazy imo. Shows your execution is on point because if i remember correctly inthul said that was his hardest combo to do consistant. But remember Jesses hdr combo? Cross up mk,stmp,stfp, rekka? talk about real execution lol i still cant hit that one

Lol

I love that combo!!!

I really wish SF4 Fei still had it, it was so flashy and damaging and very rewarding. We have to go for another set too prod before next week, I’ve been so busy these last 2 weeks so I gotta make up for all that lost time.

Oh and the biggest reason they say I cant connect after a EXCW is because I only did casuals when I played offline so I wasnt really trying. I was on"auto pilot" cause I didnt need to put forth much effort into winning so 1 frame links didn’t matter to me in those fights.

After watching the final round stream and i remember hearing either markman or somone he was with eluding to a Soul Calibur 5 or someshit i wasint paying attention that made me think i’d rather have a SC5 over a MK9 but ah well.

How big is MK’s competive scene even? Dont even remember the last MK game at a tournament. The SC community may be small but seems bigger then mks.

All i ask is stop putting so much fucking effort in creating a character nobody cares, dont add star wars characters. Now take all that tie you would spend on that and make the game more balanced. Boom thats it a great formula for a great SC game. The only 3d fighter i enjoyed.

It’s underdeveloped, I mean they have community sites for UMK3 and for the 3D MK’s but its nothing like with Tekken or SF.

SC isn’t terrible I guess, like I don’t mind the art style and overall concept but I always just turnd to Tekken for my 3D needs.Another reason I’m liking MK9 is probably over the fact that it has th tekken combo engine. Who else here has tried the MK9 demo, sure its a small taste but it a very promising.

I know this is completely off topic and im sorry but if your a fan of mma this is big news.ufc just bought out strikeforce!

C’mon jay you know anything that isn’t about my personal life in this thread is instantly off topic:razzy: Seriously though this is great news, the UFC can finally have a good heavyweight division and this also means…FEDOR IS IN THE UFC!!!

Granted the fedor hype train is in the shits after his last fight, but I’d still like to see him around for at least a few more cards. Which reminds me I gotta catch up on ultimate fighter this season, I completely forgot it came on and missed the first 2 episodes.

Unfortunately according to dana strikeforce and ufc will continue to run separately and everything will be business. Strikeforce will be around atleast until their deal with showtime ends. Basically fighters who are under strikeforce contracts will continue on those until they end and then will have the option for ufc or strikeforce deals.
