SRK Lounge: The Now Open Edition

My verdict on Korean/Japanese hockey<div><br></div><div>Got dang they need to learn how to control passes, but it was pretty intense.  Some good goals, and they FINALLY figured out what hockey’s all about: Fighting.</div><div><br></div><div>Also of note was how packed the stadium was.  Barely any empty seats, and it wasn’t just a bunch of foreigners clamoring for any kind of hockey, but there was a MEGATON of Koreans who ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD the game.</div><div><br></div><div>I could see myself holding season tickets without batting an eye.</div>

The real Wendy was on another new commercial recently… she’s actually slimming down, so she’s putting in some effort to step her game up.  New Wendy’s Girl Morgan might be the hottest/cutest regular out there though.<br><br>*there’s some good ones on the latest Progresso commercial too… there’s one blondie that kinda looks like Julie Bowen, and 2 others that look good.  <br><br>*My holiday weekend just went right out the window, since Dad decided(yesterday) to suddenly show up…and yes, that’s just how he rolls… he’ll give extremely short notice… like calling you while on the interstate while he on the way.  This situation is annoying to me for several reasons.<br><br><b>More Overpowered Character Fun!</b> – Salvador the Gunzerker has a skill that makes his shots more powerful the lower his health gets.  The funny thing is that this is most likely a rarely used skill, because it’s not often you even get low on health in the first place…even when you do, his health-regeneration is so serious that you won’t be “low” for any lengthy period of time.  Gunzerk ability fast-tracks it up to 50% right away, then constant health-regen takes care of the rest.  If you went all the way in that skill-tree (Brawn) to the ultimate skill “Come At Me Bro”, if he gets low again while gunzerking… hitting the action skill button again INSTANTLY puts him back at 100% health.(*oh and that’s not even all “Come At Me” does…it grants even more damage resistance to everything, and draws attention of the enemies)  Haha, Sal is so ridiculous.  I love it.  Some would argue that “Brawn” isn’t even his most useful skill-tree… the “Rampage” one is probably the more popular choice, since it lets you have gunzerk going on basically all the time.<br><br><b>Main character from Kingdoms of Amalur</b>—you’re already ending up as the most powerful being in this game’s world fairly quickly…but Reckoning ability triple’s the character’s strength, if I recall, while increasing the damage resistance to everything to an insane level…while slowing down time itself (*you still move in real time of course)…and he uses “fate energy” in this move to create magical energy weapons out of thin air.  Also, you eventually can make potions that give you the full fate energy/meter to go into Reckoning whenever you want, as long as you have these potions. POWER, bitches.  Heh, nice.<br>

I loved SFA3, but even now I gotta admit that game was broken as fuck. Like if the match doesn’t end up with one person CC infiniting the other to death then both people are pretty much playing on the honor system. <div><br></div><div>I live literally a 10 minute walk away from a-cho, too bad I never get to go.</div>

You popping down to Evo again?

Unfortunately, chances are pretty slim. I wish I could though.

That’s too bad. If ever that changes though let me or Leigh know. We’ll do lunch or something again.

<div class=“QuoteText”>1) I enjoyed Skullgirls when I played the demo.  When I am not broke, I will definitely be picking it up.  <br /><br>
2) I thought SFIV originally launched with a super small cast.  No Cammy
either.  That shit all came in the home versions (there was no Gen,
Gouken, Dan, Rose, etc)<br /><br>
3) Please Dear God tell me somebody is fixing this forum still<br /><br>
4) If SFIV characters cost a million to make, I wouldn’t be surprised.
That’s a lot of voicework, sound work, art, as well as programming and
design.  Still, SHOULD be able to do that for less money.  Hell, all the
SFxT Capcom characters should be ported over to SFIV for fuck’s sakes.</div>

SF4 arcade had 17 playable characters, home took that to 25, Super added 10 more, and AE added 4 to bring us to the current 39.<br>

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>You’re doing it wrong, CvS2 only can at max have two attack boxes 3 hurt boxes and a push box(not counting A-Groove) which is also used for the grab box as well. Skullgirls isn’t an example how Capcom or any Company did the hitboxes. Skullgirls is how Mike Z and his team did the hitboxes and collision.</span></font>

</blockquote>Yeah, “Don’t jump-strong me for a full minute” is a pretty good house rule to agree upon before playing.<br><br>How’s life been in the eternity since you last posted?<br>

I would write a post about how I think Alpha 3 is hot garbage but I’ll just say that Alpha 2 is the far superior game and leave it at that.<br>

Alpha 3 and World Heroes Jet. Better than Cherry Coke and Jim Beam.<br><br>Though not really cause you can’t get drunk off video games. But it’s close.<br>

<div class=“QuoteText”>what is it about kof98 that makes it so popular? i only realised this when i started using ggpo to play ST. The kof98 rooms are constantly packed.<br></div>
</blockquote>

<br>The style and presentation plus the character designs all really came together in that game.    If only they made the next Kof more similar to that as far as design goes and get rid of all the homosexuality built in it from the so called Ashley Saga.   Plus it’s a fighting game with critical hits lol.  Fuck yeah.<br><br><br>

Kof 98 was hot fire. I didn’t play it till like 2004 tho, but it was great. One of my favorites along with KOF97 (mostly for its presentation). Kinda hate SNK dropped the tag feature from KOFXI (my favorite KOF by far), that game was too hype. Hope they bring it back eventually

<div class=“QuoteText”>It’s odd to me that people can apparently make a living out of being a regular character on commercials… I just saw “Flo” from the Progressive commercials yet again.  That’s what, 15+ or so commercials she’s done as this character so far?  She’s apparently a stand-up comedian as well, but I’ll bet she’s making more money from being that character on a regular basis.<br><br>Another strange thing… she’s actually better-looking in those commercials than she is normally.  <br><br>Wendy’s Girl is still going strong too…looking better with each new one.  Those redheads, folks… they are magical creatures.<br><br>Yes.  That chick would get, as another member of this site would say,“Ravaged”.  <br><br>-Starhammer-<br></div>

A3 would be soooo much better than A2 if it weren’t for the stupid shit that it allowed you to do.  That being said, Vsm or CC’s or whatever are terrible and don’t belong in either game imo.  <br>

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>If A3 was just everything in A2 but with the same aesthetics and ability to do leveled supers by button presses yeah, it would have been a great game.</span></font><div><font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”><br></span></font></div><div><font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>But you know, nah and stuff and it’s like a really pretty mugen with V domination.

CC’s are not good in A2 stop lying.<br>
