The "Currently Playing" Game Thread-Discuss Your Games, Vent, Give Props, etc

I haven’t played with Mewtwo in SSB Melee since I unlocked him years ago. He seemed cool at first. Now I just don’t care all that much about him. Melee is the best all-star game ever created. Where is my sequel, blast it?!
:mad:

I picked up Sword of Mana (Screw the haters) at Toys 'R Us for $10.98 and NES Classic Castlevania for $14.99. Turns out Toys has all their NES Classic series GBA games for $14.99. Awwww yeah.
I also FINLLY picked up Spider-Man: The Movie 2. I got it for $20 because there was a sign that said it was $20. On the game itself, it said $30 but the dude at the register was like “I guess we can sell it for $20.” I was like “Cool.” Then he took the sign down.

Yeah and embracing people then walking off the edge with themin moments of passion. :tup: DONKEY PUNCH !

Well, it’s certainly not Square’s best. I think it’s good lightheated fun though. A little worse than Musashi, a little better than Saga Frontier and Legend of Mana. Using Mint with her “bodacious magic” is the only reason to play. World domination baby. =)

Yeah, WTF. I always get my EGMs delivered to me hella late. I didn’t even get mine yet. Sometimes I even think that the newsstands get new issues before I do. Bullshit.

Yeah, I’m still playing Melee every once in a while. In fact, I made more progress skill-wise these past few months than I ever did the first 2 years I had the game (I finally learned how to wavedash and L-cancel). I’ve become an exclusive Marth user. Yeah, I know it’s cheap, but I like to win and his mix of speed and range is perfect for my style of play.

I’ve also looked at the Melee board at Gfaqs, and the tier discussions there are ridiculous. I remember one guy saying Roy was top tier for his Blazer move alone. Whatever.

Anyway, I am hooked on Gran Turismo 4 because with a good wheel, it’s just pure heaven. I made the DeLorean my main car in honor of Back to the Future, but I was upset when I couldn’t put in a flux capacitor for it. You know, I always wondered why SCEA always cuts out “Moon Over the Castle” for the intro song in the U.S. release of all GT games. I mean, I like Van Halen and all, but “MOtC” is one of the best video game songs of all time.

DDR Extreme and 4th Mix.

Extreme at the Mall, and 4th Mix at my Church.

Vents: Fuck DIVE (More and More Deeper Mix). I had a damn Full Combo until the last arrow. THE LAST FUCKING ARROW. Oh well, at least I FC’d Saints Go Marching (Easy to FC, Done it before), Abyss (Same as last post), M Japan (Medium, first time), and Cowgirl (…Don’t ask) in the same night at The Mall. I still did better than the people that were there though. There used to be really good peeps there.

playing secret of mana for the first time

ive decided to play some old-school snes rpg’s that i missed out on and this was the first on my list to play. after this its bahamut lagoon and seiken densetsu 3.

" I remember one guy saying Roy was top tier for his Blazer move alone. Whatever."
^see that’s what I was referring to…I’d bet money that he wasn’t being seriously stupid…he was making fun of the “noobs”(eh I don’t like that word) that were once so abundant at those boards…the people who genuinely believed that every character was perfectly balanced and tiers were just bull.(*most likely hurt because their favorite character was ranked low) The board was a lot more entertaining when there was legitimate ignorance and genuinely stupid commentary. They need “TMOG” to return…oh the stuff that guy posted was hilarious. I’ll never forget his claim of getting a No-Damage Clear with Pichu…you just don’t ever forget someone making a rediculous claim like that…it’s like my friend “Dumbass”, who claimed his Mortal Kombat 2 began doing MK3 things for some strange reason…(while we were talking on the phone of course…in person it suddenly didn’t work anymore… of course.)

Marth in the white outfit is the shit. I like to pretend he’s not wearing a tiara of course…

You know it’s all about the Marth in the black outfit. :razzy:

koryurekka: Yeah, it sounds more manly that way, but it literally IS a tiara. His dying sister Ellis gave it to him, so he kept it. When I think about it like that, it kinda gives him character instead of just looking queer.

Yeah, I know it’s really a tiara from reading the manga, which is pretty good, by the way. I still really want to see the OVAs, but I just can’t find them in digital form…

Yeah, Nintendo needs to do another Smash Bros. There are so many other characters that deserve to be in that game. Like Diddy Kong, Wario, Rick the Hamster and King Dedede from Kirby, maybe another couple StarFox guys like Krystal or Peppy, or even ROB. There’s lots of untapped potential from the Nin universe. And for the love of God, Dr. Mario is pointless. And make DK and Mewtwo better. They’re so cool, but they suck balls in that game.

I’d even like to see a Smash crossover with SEGA characters in there, too. Like Sketch Turner, the Sonic crew, and Vectorman. Now that SEGA is 3rd party, that’s entirely possible.

…I’ll ignore the nasty comments about SaFr and give a brief summary for once from the last time I posted, which was a while ago, so it won’t really be in order:

[list]
[]Left Shingrow after getting LogicBomb for T206, who now has 920 HP, the highest in the team.
[
]Finally filled out my team, which was missing one spot for the longest time, with Emelia from Baccarrat. This might have been a bad idea, since she had only about 100 HP when she first started out…while Gen and Liza were almost to 800 HP (they have both passed that now). However, considering that I couldn’t get Dr. Nusukan (since I’m idiot) or Mesarithm (didn’t know what Silence prevents her from joining) and I’d be damned if I had another monster, she was the only character that I got get. She’s at about 200 HP know, and has most of the gun skills. I’m going to train her sword s after since I have so many spare swords due to being Wakatu.
[]Blue learned the DSC fairly quickly after I got back to concentrating on fighting techniques.
[
]Gen finally learned Haze-to-Wheel.
[]Mei-ling does seem to be damned good with swords, which is why she’s using Light Sword.
[
]Lute and Liza have learned Shadow Servant.
[]All my monsters have every technique to be a Mariche, except that they seem to refuse to learned DeathGaze from Dullahans…which or still total whores if I don’t rape them with StunShot and DSC.
[
]Speaking of monsters born threat, I’m sort of raping R&Rs and ThunderDragons now, and the only things that seem like they can beat me are CrystalTrees, Krakens, or the other types of Dragons. The first two get fucked up by ElementDissolve and StoneGaze respectively, though the former techinque should work on the Kraken as well (which can thankfully be StunShot). Funny how useful StunShot has become, especially considering how pissed off I use to get about Mei-ling’s ineptitude when using it. Hell, after I used StunShot to stop the Kraken from Wiping me Out with Maelstrom, it got about eight turns, with hits that did about 300 when it didn’t miss.
[*]Speaking of Maelstrom and alluding to Pearl Hearts, I only have one of those because I still haven’t done the Gold Trick and know I have too much money…again.
[/list]

I’m now standing directly in front of the Blade God in Wakatu; I decided to come here because I learned that I could go back to Mosperiburg after all, though apparently I can’t Gate to IRPO and then try.

Another game that I’m playing again and I’ve discovered/remembered how fun it was, is Kingdom Hearts. I keep going to my Coliseum (I can’t seem to spell anything right, as you probably had noticed if you knew what the hell I was talking about SaFr-wise) save to fight Hades, the Ice Titan, and, of course, Sephiroth.

All three fights are fun, especially Hades since I loved his personality in the movie, but Sephiroth is the only one that is still difficult; humorously enough, Sephiroth only recently became “fun” when I started playing him again when I started up last week; even more “humorously”, Sin Harvest is probably the skill that I worry about least.

I personally think that KH, overall, has the best bosses fights in an RPG that I’ve ever played. It’s at least in competition with Chrono Trigger and SaGa Frontier.

Speaking of SSBM, I too agree that Dr. Mario and Pichu are a waste of space. I personally still don’t see why they haven’t put a playable Fighting Pokemon in this series, especially considering a lot of more popular ones (at least among the originals) have no evolution forms, which seems to be a tend if you hadn’t noticed.

good times. For SD 3 choose Angie(Angela)-Duran-X or Duran-Angie-X in that order for extended endings for both Angie and Duran. Lize has a secret event with Hawk also, if Hawk is NOT in your party.

i heard from a friend that i need to play it through at least twice to get the whole story. what should be my party the 2nd time (i assume that party u listed above for the 1st time is optimal)?

You’re supposed to play three times because there are three different final guys depending on your characters, and the story does change a bit, but not by much. You really only need to play once to get the “main” story. choose hawk or lize as your first character for Archmage boss, Duran or Angela for Dragon Emperor(badass guy), and Charlie or Kevin for Dark Prince.

my best team so far is lize(stat up), hawk(enemy stat down), and duran(leaf or moon saber) so far. But really, the game’s not that hard so you can do any team and it’ll get through

so who is top teir on ssbm…I just use everyone as IF they WERE =

Fox, Falco, Marth, Roy, and Zelda I think.

I like to use Ice Climbers and Donkey Kong. I remember at this anime convention I would always pick the Ice Climbers and everyone was all :wow: and I wanted to win so bad to show people that the IC’ers aren’t jokes…

…but alas, I got 2nd like everytime I played.Too much girl ice baby hijinks. ( IE she’d just up and run off or something ) Then I teamed up with this one guy who looked JUST like Dave Chapelle who used Jigglypuff and we beat ass. cute character style.

I forget a lot of the stuff that I learned though. :sad:

Theoretically:
Fox
Marth, Shiek
Peach, Roy, Luigi, Samus

most everybody else

DK, Bowser
Mewtwo
Pichu

In actuality, Fox can’t be played to his theoretical peak, much like Strider in MvC2. The potential is there, but it’s just so damned hard to actually accomplish. And according to most pros, everyone above the low four is considered usable at high levels.

How do you get past link’s u+B spamming besides throwing them

EJAY clubworld

Since we’re talking about SSBM and it’s one of the few games that I own for Gamecube, I just like to say, to the person that asked, that Remy Saotome is pretty much correct from what I’ve read. “Everyone” (sans DK (I could have sworn it was Yoshi or the ICs that were this low, but alas), Bowser, Mewtwo, and Pichu (for obvious reasons) can be used in high play, but at least Fox, Sheik, Marth, and Falco dominate.

Personally, since I have no one to play against, I just use whoever the hell I want (as long as it’s not Game&Watch, Pichu, DK, or Luigi. I just can’t stand their play styles), but I rather like using Pikachu (despite the fact that his/its new move is crap), Peach, Samus, and/or Roy.

I just don’t get any better because there’s no reason to, since I don’t have anyone to play against, and the computer doesn’t really play fall for mind games. When I try to be “tricky”, it’s just ends up getting me killed by a conveninent “combo” of Ganondorf’s Warlock Punch, Peach’s Peach Bomber, and a coincidentally, random yet full-charged Luigi Rocket or some such thing.

:rolleyes:
