I got stuck on one of Chun’s trials. Cr.lp, st.mp > LL. No matter what I do the LL won’t come out. :s
Hey Twm! We managed to get it on release. It’s really fun. I think it’s coming out in Europe on the 8th no?
On Friday the 9th, and I’m away in London from then till late on Sunday… so I’ll have to pick it up Monday. Bah.
The hype around here is mad silly though. Finally managed to get some regular sessions for Leeds student FG players and the small (but established) Bradford scene a few miles down the road already wants to do a Bradford VS Leeds SFxT event in a month’s time. Where’s our training montage when we need it? And/or smuggling Roogle over and pretending he goes to Leeds. You know, whichever.
I look forward to hearing the lamentations of the 32 crew as 32’s Rolento lays waste to the middle kingdom.
The preorder gems don’t work on the US store, by the way. At least my code doesn’t.
From my own experience codes don’t work cross-region. You need an HK account. Any DLC you buy through the US store, though, will work. I had the same deal with a DLC code for Amalur, it only worked on the HK store. I used some of my credit on the US store to later buy some more DLC and they worked just fine.
Are you calling it the 32 crew because you want to honor his age? That’s so nice of you! 
That and it sounds better than “Rod Squad.”
TWMBaaaa, how come you never go on MSN anymore, souschefcat had to throw away the souffle it made for you and trust me - not happy [meowr meowr this meowr meowr that, just annoying really]
Also no horror stories from here. As ever everyone is utter clown shoes compared to my overevolved magnificance…Dive kicks probably help too.
Figured it out yesterday, no part of a chain can be cancelled so they have to be linked, probably why the hit stun in this game is so absurdly long. Since even hitting the heavy on block is unsafe this puts a bit of an emphesis on links and the tekken sides rather large array of canned strings. Which is pretty exectutionally BS, I thought they were trying to move away from 1-2framers O_o
@Trouble I see your point. “Yannis Squad” wouldn’t work either. Makes us sound too greek and we don’t want that right now.
@Raas Shit I forgot about that. It is indeed a strange choice they made there considering how they want to make this more accessible. Another rule is that you can only cancel a chain into an EX, which is why I could end that combo with EX LL easily. In other news, Marduk’s cr.HP leads to his AA grab (Gator Slam) kinda like how Able could do it with Falling Sky.
Just a reminder: Hosting on Saturday. Peeps are free to roll in after 2.
I’ll be there. I fiddled with Lili for a bit after we logged. I’ll give her a shot. She seems to be able to keep up the pressure better than Chun. I think I’m getting used to this slowly, just gotta be mindful about rapid firing l-m-h-h cause the launcher is so punishable.
You were wasting a shit-ton of meter on ex reversals too. Every time you had a punish opportunity on me you didn’t have enough meter to do anything damaging.
But…but…but I like it when she spins! In all seriousness, yeah a stupid habit there. Once I get some punish combos down, it should be alright. I wanna play! Who needs a job??
Hey, so I just got back from a trip to Wuzhen on Saturday night, it’s a pretty sweet place to visit with a ladyfriend if you get the chance. Anyway, I spent a few hours at Xidan yesterday and I noticed they have two pairs of head-to-head Tekken Tag Tournament 2 cabs; really good condition and all that, game looks amazing. I kinda wanted to try it out but it is 6 credits per play and I said screw that cause I’m ass at Tekken and everyone there knows their shit. Didn’t see this info posted so I thought I would, though no one probably cares and is too busy messing with xT to give a lick. I gotta wait until May or whatever for the PC version to come out which sucks; I wanna play Rolento sooo bad. 
CVS2: greatest game in the history of anything. :rock:
@Trouble: I notice you like mostly the same characters I do lol. Have you tried to do anything with Sim in this game? I’ve watched Arturo play some Sim/Vega but I really can’t tell if he’s that great, though Vega looks good and I would play him just for that Yoshi alt if I didn’t already like him. I’ll probably still use Sim though, but I guess Sim/Rolento wouldn’t be great cause Rolento doesn’t do shit for damage off tag-ins. Maybe I’ll play him with Marduk and either Vega or Kazuya with Rolento.
PS: Fuck AE. Hakan is ass, Sim is slightly less ass. Oh and fuck Abel, that credit-eating bastard. That is all.
Right now we are all hype with SFxT. It’s a fun game and definitely worth the wait since you are waiting for the PC version. Marduk is on my team and he’s really fun to play as. His LP command grab is the fastest in the game (according to the Brady guide). Worth checking out.
I don’t really know what to think of Sim yet in SFxT. Some of the system mechanics help him in SFxT (recovery rolls, being able to punish stuff he couldn’t before), but his damage also seems kind of meh.
I’m running Rolento/Hugo as my main team currently why dabbling with Sim/Juri and a few others.
Oooh, fastest command grab, eh? I’m down with that, Marduk looks sweet and I love command grabs. I’ll tell ya, I honestly didn’t care that much about SFxT until about a month ago. Everyone was just starting to hype it up, all the statements about “best Capcom game since CVS2” and all that, and my favorite game is CVS2 and Rolento is my favorite Capcom character in that game so after hearing these things and seeing how good he is I got hype. Never got into Tekken competitively but I’m excited to play those characters in this system because they seem different enough from the street fighters that I’m sure I would have fun with some of them.
I have Xbox Live but I’m really only waiting for the PC version cause I built a top of the line rig back in November so I’m sure it will be sick like AE is on my PC. Oh and of course I’m sure people will make sick alts and stuff for PC. God I hate waiting though.
Edit @Trouble: yeah man his damage doesn’t look that hot, and I guess his limbs get beat out or trade a lot in jump in situations since jump ins are so good in this game unless you read them jumping. I like arturo’s use of the autoblock gem though, I sometimes just wanna go in like it’s ST and it might save Sim’s ass on wakeup. Is it just me or do his drills recover faster? Hugo looking mad strong, that team you have sounds stupid good.
I’m having heaps of fun with my Lili/Marduk team. This game is great! There are several other characters I want to check out as well; Raven, King, Elena (when she is released) to name a few.
I can’t say I’m concerned about what’s been discovered in this thread. The game is clearly targeting a broader audience. Tournies will make their rule-set while people who just wanna play can do what they will.
Finally got a chance to roll over to DongZhiMen [is that in the first post?] and it’s been, well opened for one - but more importantly its been updated with 32s FAVORITE GAME IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. AE 2012. c’mon down people - the waters fine
P.S. Water is not fine - do not drink the water
We’re still talking about AE? I KEED I KEED! Good to hear that the cheapest arcade is open again. Good for you guys, at least, since I’m going to be king of SFxT. You’ll need AE to wash away the salt. Oh yeah! I went there!
So Megaman/Pacman are available. I couldn’t unlock them in game with my US account active. I had to log into HK first. Hopefully that won’t be the case for the other 12 characters.
ugh I don’t have a HK account - or internet.
Also update the first post with 东直门 you…tool! guy!..person!
