STL Garbage - Chapter IV: BLIIIINDED BY THE LIGHT!

[dummyface]

Interesting facts you brought up.

1. Can’t debate it. I wonder though that they left out the Garou Densetsu name cause of the bad reviews Street Fighter 3 originally got. When SF3 first came out all I ever heard about was that it was a sequel that did not have most of the recurring characters back from SF2. IMO this was a bold decision, but a major reason SF3 did not take off right away. SF3 might have been a fan favorite, but it was not a success. It seems like to get away from that SNKP tried to lose the name so it would not get the backlash Capcom got. To me though it does not mean this is not a sequel cause it follows the Fatal Fury canon storyline. (i.e. Street Fighter EX series is not a sequel to anything cause it’s not officially in the storyline). However I can see your gripe there. That’s my 2 cents on it.

2. The people I talk to never really got into the line sway. It was about as popular as Samurai Shodown’s Zoom effect (also in Art of Fighting as well) It seemed SNK was getting rid of the line sway in their other games. I am not 100% positive, but I think Kizuna Encounter (sequel to Savage Reign which had line sway) did not have line sway. Personally for me I think line sway it an interesting addition to fighting games, but not a necessity. It’s basically saying KOF is not KOF anymore since they went to the tag system. It feels wierd that they changed the system and sometimes it does not feel right, but that does not make me think it’s not KOF. Same with Mark of the Wolves. Changing systems around does not make me think it’s another series. It’s just a drastic change to the series. Granted though it was made to play like SF3 only better and I agree w/ you it feels better then sf3 on many levels. I said to my friends many times, It feels like Capcom tried to rip off SNK’'s fighting system and make the fighting deeper and more complex and it feels like SNK ripped off Capcom in simplifing their system while still making the game easy to pick up but a challenge to master like Capcom games are.

3. Not sure about the separate registery. Cannot really comment either way about something I don’t know. Might be right. Again thease are all opinions.

4. The series progression had significant changes as well. Real Bout and Real Bout Special feel like night and day to me. Granted it kept line changes throughout. The supers had more priority to them (i.e. Terry’s Power Geyser stretched arross the screen in Special where it went straight up in all the rest many moves were redone and made much more powerful in that game) . Plus S and P Power was introduced in Special along with most of the theme songs were finally redone to the themes that stayed for the characters for years to come. I might agree Real Bout - Real Bout Special might have been less of a change but IMO it was almost as drastic minus the lack of known characters in Mark of the Wolves.

Again though this is just an opinion I don’t know either way if Mark of the Wolves is considered a true sequel. I can see why you like the Other Fatal Fury titles better though. Everyone has a favorite series. Personally I am the villian here since my favorite series is KOF. Though I love Fatal Fury and own all except Real Bout 2.

I had this really nice long reply all typed out.
It was awesome, I touched on every single one of your points…Then windows crashed.
Let it be known that this will be the last time it ever does that to me.
100% Linux for me from now on.
So let me do this.

1. Good point about the title BUT…
   Until Garou the FF & KoF story lines were seperate. Garou intergrated them witch fucks up all kinds of cannon.

2. Most of us old school FF players really like the line sway, Most of us were pissed off when they took it out.

3. I’ll see if I can find the info for you.

4. I think you might have misunderstood what I ment about the series progression, Damn the interweb.
   Also as A side note the S.power & P.Power moves started in FF3, they just had different names.
   They were called the “ChoHissatsuWaza” for what became the S.Power.
   The “CHOChoHissatsuWaza” became the P.Power.
   The big difference beeing that you no longer had to put in A code to activate the “CHOChoHissatsuWaza” (P.Power) like in FF3. ( Start+ABCD at the word " GO" before the start of A fight, unless you are playing on an NGCD then it’s START+ACD :nunchuck: )

Most of these are my oppinions as well.
I don’t think your the villian for liking KoF, I just think FF is better.
What city do you live in?
I’m in Florissant (Near St. Louis), If possible we should get together and play some Neo.
BTW, You really should get RB2, It’s the best game in the series.

Whats up everyone.

Mo- If you read this in time then come over so that we can play melty blood. Steve told me and atlas have been playing, don’t worry I’m going to destroy you with kohaku no matter who you use(Just kidding) but come over so we can play also I want to play you in some reloaded, I play mostly low tier right now(ky, Ino) trying to fidure stuff out for MWC.
Anyway post or call if your coming over today.

A horrible travesty has taken place today. Please mark it in your calenders.

It all started out with Jeauxi getting really cocky about how his dictator(Bison) and blue eyes(Honda) were going to own me. Nothing but trashtalk coming from Joe on the phone week, after week, after week…

Then today came along, he happened to be at home when I was in the neighborhood. First to ten, I played only Blanka with him playing Dictator, Blue Eyes, and even a guest appearance of old ken(Fire hand?).

None of them were a match for the Brazilian Beast, aka the Air Traffic Controller because he controls the skies in ST.

Joe,
I made this post so you can’t conveniently “forget” the horrible beating that Blanka delivered today along with taking a cocky aftermath vid on my cellphone.

conk out,
not three words for Congdon, just…

TRY AGAIN KIDDE!!!

p.s. Since Blanka beat Dictator, he is the new boss of ST.

p.p.s Everybody that has played Joe, please feel free to reminisce about the times you have owned him.

lol @ all of that…

Word on the street is you, brad, glen, aaron have been playing a bit of ST/AE lately? We should hook up sometime!

dummyface,

Well that would be a good reason why I run Linux only on my 2 computers. I’ve been crash free since I put it on.

You know I am still trying to figure out how Rock Howard was a kid in 2001 and they are almost ready to introduce him in the KOF series. Supposedly Maximum Impact 2 is supposed to be cannon. The anime is supposedly taking place right before MI2 and has Iori w/o his flames (ala XI). How the flip that’s gonna work out is beyond me.

Wouldn’t mind playing mean line sway users. Most people don’t use it right I played. Then again when line sway was popular only thing people wanted to play back in Chicago was a Street Fighter game, or Samurai Shodown. Never got to play above Fatal Fury Special in the arcades. Everyone opted for KOF, or Samurai Shodown.

I live in St. Louis proper. Right on the edge of it over by Riverview and Broadway. I’d be up for a match. My off days are Wed. and Thu., but I work midnights so I am avaible on Fri as well. Got a car so I can drive to whereever as well.

I’ve played Real Bout 2 on the computer a couple of times. I like it. Had the opportunity to pick it up on AES for $150 but passed. Kicking myself in the rear still since it’s usually $200 every time I see it.

[Mr_Bakaboy]

Since it looks like you’re supposed to introduce yourselves according to all the other local posting boards, I’m Mike been playing fighting games since Street Fighter 2 first came out, though I consider myself enamored with command motion fighting earlier then that ever since I saw a friend fly over the ropes and on the concrete on top of the opponent in Taito Wrestling back in 1986.

I have a large library of fighting games and welcome anyone who wants to fight me. I’ll try to list them for those who are curious.

Been running Linux bout 90+ % of the time lately.
Mostly kept windoze around coz of my mini disk player.
I was putting music on it when it crashed.
Decided that is it for me.
Know any Linux freindly MP3 players out there?
What distro of Linux you running?
I have been using Mandrake 10 since it came out, Thinking about switching to Mandriva, Witch is basically the new version of mandrake.
That KoF anime seems more like A commercial to me more than anything, & supposedly the KoF:MI storyline is taking over for bolth Fatal Fury & Art of Fighting.
If that is true I am very angry.
Your not to terribly far from me, Problem is my days off are Sat, Sun & Mon.
I also work the graveyard shift.
Been wanting RB2 on AES for some time now, But I do have it on MVS so that is just as good.

[System_1]

Street Fighter Alpha 3 - DC, Vampire Savior - SS

I’m curious, are you into these games at all? It’s very rare that I can actually make it to St. Louis (just ask AKA) but I’ve always had an interest in learning both of these.

I went ahead and made a snazzy official thread for the tournament in Columbia on the 15th:

http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105185

It looks like the turnout for this could actually be pretty significant especially for #R, we’ve had NE and Chicago express interest in coming so far; I’d really like all of you who play these games to make it out here. Steve, Rob, PM me if you have any interest in coming at all, I’d really like for you guys to make it out to this one.

I use Debian on my 2 computers. I thought of switching to Fedora cause books on it are easier to come by, but I am pretty comfortable with Debian right now. I can just learn it off of the net. For my mp3 fils I use XMMS. It works well with it plus you can update it to take ogg files (which I ex-roomate swore by).

Yeah not feeling the Maximum Impact story thing either and the anime was insanely short. I’m hoping the future installiations are better then the first one.

Wouldn’t mind getting an MVS system. A friend of mine got the arcade MVS system for $400. If I see one for that price around here I will pick it up.

Alpha 3 I am pretty decent. I can fight with most of the characters pretty well. Vampire Savior I like as well, but I only have 7-8 characters I am good with. Been a while since I played either a lot. played more Alpha 1 then 3 of late.

[System_1]

dummyface: if you prefer to do everything via the command line interface like me, I always used mpg123 to play mp3s/oggs.

Bakaboy: Wicked. I’m one of those people who tends to focus on only one or two characters, I play Lilith in Vampire Savior and know a bunch of fancy stuff but just end up spamming chain combos into LI because I can’t set it up in matches. I play Sakura in A3 and pretty much just do roundhouse, throw and screw up the VC. Just so you know not to expect much if we play

Rob: What’s up, I don’t know exactly when the next MWC is but my friend in Chicago told me George said it’d be some time around President’s Day. Are you guys coming to Columbia Friday night or Saturday afternoon? Do you need a place to stay?

I run Debian on my fathers PC.
Installed from A Knoppix CD.
He only needs it for internet access so saw no point in spending $100 for XP.
He gets along just fine.
I have been using XMMS for little over A year now, What I ment was A stand alone MP3 player.
Like the I-pod or something.
MVS is the way to go to play Neo games on the cheap.
I don’t really reccomend A cab unless you have the room for it.
I would say go with A supergun setup.
I can help you build one if you like.

dummyface: if you prefer to do everything via the command line interface like me, I always used mpg123 to play mp3s/oggs.

Honestly, All the years I spent as A windows drone have me addicted to the GUI.
I can use the command line but I just like KDE more.

[dRu84532]

I’d switch to linux buttttttt it doesn’t run a lot of the games at 100% that I wanna play…ie: Counter-Strike, GunZ

everything else tho I’m sure I could do fine with.

ps. if there is a way…plz someone inform me. I’d love to switch (especially to KDE cuz I know that build has similar apsects of windows)

You can actually get most windows games to run underlinux…It just takes some prodding & twisting wine.

If your talking about getting the source version running I don’t know but it is usually quite simple to get Half-Life running.

Honestly tho, it is much simpler to run them under windows.
Have you ever considered dual booting?
Such as A minimal install for windows, just enough to run your games & just use linux for everything elese.

[System_1]

What’s up everyone.

722-If we go we will be there Friday night and yes most likely we will need a place to stay, I talked to steve and he says he will come to I know already that 2 other people will come to play if we come also.

Aka-are you going to the columbia tournament, if so let me know so we can get in some games before hand. Been playing #R and MVC2 lately.

Mo-what happened Saturaday I went over to greg’s and he wasn’t there anyway call me anytime this week so we can get in some games. Also are interested in going to the columbia tournament, man you have to go we are all trying to go If I can I’m going to ask Atrice if he will go.

Grunt-nice hookup Don’t worry I will put as much naruto on my computer as I can so that you can watch it.

Until next time,
Peace!!!

ya i thought about the dual boot but id rather not.

when i finally decide to quit playing games thats probably what i should do…switch to linux!

Guess what SNKers word on the street is that The Tilt is getting KOF XI yes KOFXI not sure if its really XI though its a good chance though I hope to see you guys there either way though Peace

LAter OH YEAH!!!

Yeah Debian works for me since I am very basic inb my computer usage. My ex-roomate uses a player most Linux geeks swear by a couple of years ago, but for the life of me I can’t remember the name. I’ll get back to you when I talk to him next. I would like a cabinet for sentimental reasons, but a smaller, console MVS version would be nice as well. Never heard of the name supergun though. Thinking about getting the AES to MVS converter though.

[System_1]

Mo- you would post on Zaibatsu but not on here how dare you, If I can find your # then i will call you for some games in tekken, #R, and MvC2. Probaly today or Friday.

Steve- if you read this then lets play some games okay??

Tim- man sorry I didn’t get to talk to you I’ve been using the internet so no phone can get through. I guess I talk to you whenever. Oh do you still get on MIRC if so when everytime I get on I’m the only one that is on.

Grunt-Man can you ChunLi’s inf. It really hard. I’ll show it to you if we play friday.

As for everyone Christmas for me is going to the shit this year.
