If I could get the opportunity to join you guys on sunday it would be the hotness. 
Kontradiction: make sure to PM people interested your number.
========
That being said, Iām currently installing Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3ā¦
This shit takes forever :v
Ha ha. Iām playing DMC1 on my PS2. I suck at this game. I keep thinking that DTrigger makes me invincible.
DMC4 is very fun, the model viewer on the PC is GDLK! The game is fun too. Dante must die mode is good, Heaven or hell is easy as frick, hell or hell is not X_X
DMC4 seems okay so far, but Iām hoping Iāll get more weapons and stuff to mess around with later as oppose to just the 3 items: gun, sword and demon hand thingyā¦
Also, some of the roaming around seems kinda annoying: there are like big stretches of hallways or whatever where Iām not really killing things.
Cut scenes are pretty awesome: the action choreography is so epic like you wouldnāt believe.
That said, Iām now playing Valkyria Chronicles and I canāt help but feel like Iāve seen this anime before.
Also, some of the cut scene staging makes no fucking sense:
Thereās like 2 soldiers at whatās his faceās house and then they have their guns trained on the little sister characterā¦
Despite nothing happening, she manages to roll around on the floor and grab a gun in the corner fast enough to train it on the 2 soldiersā¦
And I was like āWhat?āā¦
You know that they wouldāve shot her ass before she completed that set of actionsā¦
God damn it details.
That said, I seem to like the battle system.
ggās dude, That was my gief. I loving his AE changes, and you are on the stream when we were playing. My match with you starts at 5:00, and the rest of my gief play ends at 20:00
Justin.tv - iplaywinner - Recorded Matches: SSF4: AE at MGL
I watched the anime before, and itās pretty average. I havenāt played the game so Iāll get it sometime next years when I get some cables for my PS3.
On another note, best Guile theme ever.

Well at SVGL thereās only 1 SSFIVAE machine wouldnāt it be better to go to MGL where at least we can play against people? >.> UPDATE: Confirmed Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade EditionLocations - iPLAYWINNER - FIGHTING GAME NEWS STRATEGY & MEDIA
Sonic one was awesome too:

THAT SAID, can someone teach me how to beat QWOP (in a non-scrubby way):
Itās making me hate life.
=====
That said, the bridge mission in Valkyria Chronicles kicked my assā¦
I had to do it like 3 times, which was 2 times too long.
It is a very small world, apparently.
Huh, so I was only caught in one tick throw set up. It was certainly a shocking one though. GGās Hope to play you some more.
Huh, so I was only caught in one tick throw set up. It was certainly a shocking one though. GGās Hope to play you some more, not too happy about my stick execution in this match.
SFSU GUYS!
(though, no AE)
That said, Chris, Iām on MVC2 right now and if you see this, throw me some basic MSP combosā¦
Gonna try to get them all tonight while Iām not distracted (will not happen in 1 sitting, but Iād like to think it could, possibly).
GGs with HotRod on XBL a while agoā¦
But, yesā¦ we cannot begin to emphasize how ass online is; we were just fucking around by the end.
I hope we can start doing meets again ASAP as this is a pretty painful alternative when you can have it better.
Iām suffering from withdrawals already.
THAT SAID, Iām to understand that SFSU will have AE next month?
We must conduct field tripsā¦ which constitutes walking a few blocks away from SFSU?
============
That said, I got some MVC2 done and I was only able to do hyper tempest combo like twice in 1 hour; WTF.
(and this is with safe fall offā¦ so, Iām actually probably not doing it correctly, despite the game telling me that itās a combo)
On the other hand, I seem to be comfortable with triangle jump now and you can go into various combos from it with Psylocke AA; I like it.
IMO hitting your trijumps is more important right now than combos, it lets you get that Magnetoās high low front back mix up has so many options and go for at least 2 of them!
I like that Iāve stopped floating in the air after a triangle jump (because I was holding the direction down); I shouldāve asked about that sooner.
That said, all Iāve really got in my arsenal right now is hyper tempest combo (with minimal success) and 5-fierceā¦
Can you make me quick Storm combo videos?
Is Psylocke assist useful for her too?
(Iād assume yes)
I like Valkyria Chonicles a lot. I donāt remember that much about the story, but the battle system is definitely different from any other game. What I donāt really like is that thereās really not that much to do other than progress the story.
Are we going to SVGL today? I really want to but havenāt been able to contact Kontradiction yet! D: I hope all is well!
Sorry DKL, ran into some errors with my recording stuff, getting videos at massively increased speeds which arenāt that useful, will try to fix this soon, but here are some combos in text until then.
B&B:
2lk, 2lp, 5hk /\ 5lk, 5lk xx Lightning attack XX Lightning storm. DHC into butterflies then double DHC into tempest if you want Mags out again.
Basic midscreen combo that helps get them to the corner:
2lk, 2lp, 5hk /\ 5hk ADF (Air Dash Forward) 5lk, 5hk
Basic corner combo:
2lk, 2lp, 5hk /\ 5hk ADDF (Air Dash Down Forward), 5hk, / 2lk, 5lp, 5hp, 5hk
This is actually a problem with a lot of JRPGs: Iām essentially just going around playing the battle system until the story progressesā¦
There usually isnāt a whole lot to do outside of that most of the time. Even if they do have side quests, the side quests tend to be the same fucking thing.
That said, yeah, I am digging the Valkyria Chronicles battle system: itās fun, even though Iām annoyed when my attack misses sometimes as it means that I have to use another turn medal thingy in order to avoid being killed by the CPUs attack in the next turn.
Guess the SVGL thing wasnāt happening then?
Well, thereās always next time.
THAT SAID, I shall work on these combos, though Iām not sure what the ā/ā notation means.
ALSO, am I just screwed if Psylocke is out there? Is she good for anything besides assist?
========
As for todayās activities:
-Played more XBL
Itās still assā¦ thereās a lot of annoying things that I lose to that I know that I normally wouldnāt: ever since I picked up Rose, I feel like my blocking has gotten better, but you canāt block online, so itās lame especially given that Rose needs solid blocking given that she has practically no useful reversal things.
And the pace is so sluggish that I canāt be bothered to play footsies; it feels like I wonāt get that counter poke no matter how hard I try, so I might as well just rushdown.
We need to re-start our meets ASAP; Iām down for some MVC2 next week, Chris.
(might just go to your house if itās just a small group of people; Iāll bring snacks and a TE stick)
-Ate out with family in Japan Town
They were running the 2010 World Poker Series or whatever and it looked extremely HYPE: like, I wish I knew what the fuck people were doing as it seems awesome and people in the TV audience started getting up for some reason due to the intensity of the gameās hype.
Why not MvC2 today? Take BART down here and weāll get in our matches!
BUT BUT BUT Iām already at home!
But, yes, Saturday next week should be good for me.
Though, maybe in the middle of the week could be good too, but things might come up (my sister is about to leave for Arizona, so weāre like hanging out with the family right now before everyone has to go back to doing stuff).
