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

I started playing Pocket Fighter last night. Man, is that game fun. I got my butt kicked, though. A few times. Why? Well, I came into the game thinking my classic SF ways would work. Sure the classic SF moves are there like hadokens, lightning kicks and such, but the inclusion of jems really changes things up. Almost like you have to be cheap to win. I started slapping the crap out of my opponents and grabbing the first large gem in the treasure chest at the start of the game. So far I’ve beaten Arcade mode with Ryu and Chun-Li and both of them have hilarious endings. Special moves are also cool. Ryu smacks fools with a road sign, Chun-Li turns into Jill from RE and starts blast fools with a gun. Man that game is fun to play AND funny!:lol:

Did you do Dan’s singing combo yet? :lol:

P,P,K,P :smiley:

I’ve put everything on hold ever since Samurai Warriors came out. I think I love these Koei hack n’ slashers a little more than I should.

Just got Serious Sam: Next Encounter and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! I think that’s my budget for this year. I’ll let you know what I think after having some time to play with them.

No I didn’t but thanks for telling me about it. I’ll be sure to try it out. Evne background characters are SD. And the end creadits where they show all the SF/DS characters doing crazy stuff is hilarious.:lol: This game really needs a sequel.

Zangief’s table-flip combo = the best :lol:

“Why! Why! Why is such a puny, flat-chested girl so popular?! She is cute, but not beautiful like me!”-Morrigan from Pocket Fighter after seeing 3 guys pass her up for some other girl.:lol:

I actually liked using Morrigan in PF. Which is odd because she’s a character I hate. I was able to get through Arcade mode with her without losing a single match.

If anyone is looking for a good ego crusher I suggest finding a copy of R-Types for PS1. Both games take lots of skill to excell at and dying in boss fight sucks. Thankfully you get as many continues as you want.:smiley:

Currently playing:

Wild Arms 3: Dope ass game. the music is forever stuck in my head. Jet and Strider Hiryu are so much a like. The graphics is awesome.

And I cant believe that Shane, is a boy.:bluu:

Well, as I expected, I’m having trouble using the C-stick for aiming in Sam:Next. It’s still fun, and very visually impressive, but the controls will take some getting used to.

MK: DD!! is hella fun, though. I’ve always sucked at racing games, but played both SMK and MK64 in multiplayer with some friends. So I figured I’d give this one a try. I’m liking it. I finished all the 50cc and 100cc cups, including special, with Gold, but am having a very, very hard time with 150cc. Is it just me, or is the difficulty severly screwed. I won 100cc races with no sweat, but I feel lucky if I place fourth on 150cc.

BTW: I’m currently using Parakoopa/Yoshi on Waluigi Racer. I usually swap to Parakoopa as soon as the push-off in order to get triple red shells.

(Sigh) I miss Vice City.:frowning: I miss driving around, collecting money, shooting/running over Hitians. Flying around in my Maverick helicopter. Man. Now that I beat the game I can do whatever I want but I know I have other games to play. I know I’ll play Vice City again sometime but I need to finish M&L and Pocket Fighter.

In lieu of making a new thread, I guess it’s okay to put this here.

I finally got to play CvS2. I got access to the Xbox and PS2 versions. Unfortunately the other players here seem to be 9-12 year old dialers and EOers, so I’m going through the painful process of playing this (omgwtfshit) 1player. As such, I got a few q’s.

-Who’s a good character to start with? I tried the said high tiers (SBC, A-sakura, A-bison) and they rocked. I also played a li’l Yamazaki, Chang and Rugal and decided their familiar enough (as I’ve played quite alot of KOF and :wasted: CvS1 in the past). Any one else who’s fun to learn/use/pick up? :slight_smile:

-What’s a good groove to get into aside from C and A? Those are what I’ve been using mainly.

I play CvS2, but I pay no mind to tiers.

I like Kyo, Iori, and Terry to start with, personally. I’ve also started using K-Groove as of late, but I think that you should try N-Groove also.

Neither could I, man. My friend was almost scarred by Shane-he thought it was a girl, and a hot one at that! :lol:

Anyways, WA3 is a badass game (remember the beginning?:evil: ) and yes, Jet owns, using his Argetlahm (yeah, I know it’s spelled differently, but that’s the original JPN spelling) gun like a ninja sword=too good. But that’s a good thing that he owns, seeing as coincidently, the game’s really only about Jet and Virginia, Clive and lame-ass Gallows are pure filler. Oh yeah, one more thing:

Enemies will absolutely FEAR you once you get “Finest Arts”. That move owns everyone, especially with Clive (60,000+ HP anyone?) :evil: :lol:

Well I have to see the blasted Hammer Bros. again in Mario & Luigi because I need a hammer upgrade to smash black rocks. Finding these guys is getting annoying so I may have to consult a FAQ. Ugh!:bluu:

On the Pocket Fighter front, I love Felicia! She has special moves that turn her into Mega Man! That automatically makes her cool in my book. Plus she has a move that is very similar to Blanka’s electricity. Only 6 more fighters to go until I’ve beaten Arcade mode with everyone.

Yeah and in one frame of Chun Li’s combo, she dons the S.T.A.R.S uniform.

Thanks to my local arcade in the state of reincarnation (was Mindboggle for 14 years, closed last year and came back as Tilt), though there was no Marvel, CvS2 and Chaos, I was so shocked to see that a GGXX machine came in. But I did get some new competition that also played CvS2 and now I’m out of my CvS2 hiatus and am practicing.

Damn I’m loving Double Dash!!. I’ve finished the 150cc normals cups, and just unlocked the All-Cups Tour for all cc settings. My main team is now Toad/Parakoopa/Toad Kart, though I’ve also been continuing to use Parakoopa/Yoshi/Waluigi Racer and have also gotten to liking Parakoopa/Luigi/Turbo Birdo.

I’ll start work on the All-cup Tours after work tonight.

Thanks FighterX. Might as well try the newer characters (e.g. Maki, Kyosuke, Eagle etc.) since I’m 1p and tiers probably wont’ matter. Eagle fierce throw on Yamazaki= hilarious

Yama is my main character :smiley:

:wasted: :wasted: :wasted:

Dear god, why does Shane have to be a boy?

Although in the official wild arms 3 site, they refer shane as Gallow’s sister.

When I’m done with Pocket Fighter I may move on to a FPS. Serious Sam: NE is still in shrink wrap. I haven’t started my PS2 Half-Life or Rad Faction. Then there’s Super Puzzle Fighter II on the GBA (BTW I saw the PS1 verison in Funcoland with instructions for $40 used!!:eek: ) which I just know I’m going to suck at because I’m such a n00b.:frowning:
