Yeah, Duolon is pretty broken in KOF 2003. I guess that is why there is almost no combo videos of KOF 2003 to speak of…because it’s all about Duolon and his broken shit.
His strength lies in that he basically has frame advantage in his moves, high priority in pokes, teleport, a Scum Gale-like command throw (a throw that leaves the opponent’s guard down for a free combo), a Rekka Ken-like move that can basically end in several broken stuff (can stun the opponent long enough to allow another combo, I think that is the basics for his infinite. He can also “launch” the opponent at the end of it as well, allowing a free juggle).
His LDM resembles Genei Jin.
His other supers are easy to cancel into.
He can combo his low B into Rekka Ken madness (and low B is a pretty decent poke).
I bought shining tears saturday afternoon while working. I got home and got my gf to play it for a while and boy did I ever hate the game. Go to a screen load go to a different screen load some more. Damn so much loading in the game, killed the whole game for us. So I traded it in right away.
I’m going through star ocean 3 now. I don’t know why, but for some reason I’ve got the game pegged as I don’t really like it but just feel compelled to play it through. I’m about 18 hours in getting ready to go to get some minerals to help build some contraption can’t completly remember.
I’m playing through Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders again. Can’t wait for the sequel.
Still playing Tales of Symphonia too. Finished the first disk yesterday (took me 40 hours to get through the 1st disk.) Right now this is one of the best RPG’s I have played.
SO3 is a really fun game but the battles just go by so damn fast. For me at least, I really have to be on my toes and pay attention to every single thing that goes on.
Just beat Darkwatch in about 5 hours. I thing I’m about to beat the Episode 3 game. Need something new to play. Think I’ll play through Ninja Gaiden on Very Hard(this oughtta’ be time consuming) I wish to almighty God that Lumines was on PS2( My neighbor has a 52-inch screen).
Sounds pretty good. Never heard of that series until tonight. May have to check that out.
More on DDRMAX2. I got AA on one of my fav songs “Take Me Away.” I even got a B rank “Blow My Whistle Baby.” That song isn’t as hard as I thought but “Conga Feeling” totally caught me off guard. Song has a TON of steps even on Beginner mode (don’t laugh, I’m still learning). I would have had a AA rank on “Break Down” but I missed 1 step and screwed myself. On “Days Go By” I went from D to B. Could have done better but I’m just not all that familar with the steps.
So I finally, finally got Sami… And she sucks.:sad: I’m so bummed, because she’s cute as hell. But her powers just plain suck. Badly. She has infantry with better attack and capture, but all of her other units have weaker attack. And infantry with better attack are still infantry, i.e. mostly worthless after base establishment. And all her CO Power does is booster he infantry, and they still suck.
Why? Why?
In other news, I cleared what I guess is Chapter 1 of story mode. I blasted some sattellite and a whole repair facility, got a few defected enemy on my team, and all in all kicked some ass. There was a transitory story segment, and then a new section started. I’m having a hard time with the second mission here though. Somehow the enemy still sees me in the fog or something, cause they always know exactly where I am and will even shell me with artillery when I can’t see any units revealing my postion for the cannons/rockets/ships.
I did already figure out that Javier is good for the blue base, since they’re blocked off by rockets and cannons, and he gets a defense bonus vs. artillery. And Sonja is nice for the added vision bonuses in the fog. But I still haven’t managed to clear this yet.
More Sonic Gems bullshit. Apparently there are some special videos which can only be unlocked by leaving the system on for days straight. You get the first set at 3 days, and every day you get a few more up to eight days. BS! I’m not frying my system for some lousy pictures.
Fucking SEGA… Why do you have to do just plain stupid shit like that?
Oh yeah, Sami’s also great for HQ rushing with Mechs and transport choppers with or w/o cruisers. Not all stages can allow this but some can and it can be very effective if you act quick enough.
GOD.FUCKING.DAMN.RANT.TIME.POSITIVE.MODE.
So, i picked up advance wars: dual strike a few days ago, and i was enjoying it. Its a fun game, just all around good, but then, it just omfg turned super fucking awesome! In that stage with lash and jugger verses you and theyre doing tag battle, next level, you get to do it. Im playing and getting my ass kicked until i get my tag meter up! Click the menu, choose tag, then wam, the game becomes just super fucking awesome! The first thing i notice is the music, goddamn it is good, its just so awesome and triumphant. So i have a bomber, i move it closer top their base, then choose change and move again, then i get to go again! Move my bomber right next to their black, and bam! Kick to the ovaries, there goes your black crystal, lash! Then i start getting into other modes, like combat, which is just to fucking fun. And omfg im to good, i can beat it without losing one unit and finishing with 7 tanks! Survival is also awesome, so far ive only gotten through turn survival, but man it gives you lots of points to upgrade your COs. THis game is too fucking awesome, my favorite ds game and tied along with fire emblem 7 for my favorite handheld game. I would give this game a 9.5 only because of the fact that they didnt upgrade the graphics at all really, they couldve tooken advantage of the ds’s graphics to make it less pixelated. And guess what? My 2 favorite handheld games are both made by the same company, Intelligent systems!
god damn that shit is a beast. ive only played one person on live that used duo lon but he obviously didnt use it right cause joe smashed that bitch :karate:
also apparently duo lon is balanced on xbox because theres two modes, normal and arcade just like how 3s has new and old guard for aegis unblockables. im going to ask around and see if its true, if so i can play 2k3 without guilt… pretty much have to anyways because i hear 2k2 is ass on live (havent played it on live personally yet) with all the lag and rematch bs.
btw im going to go buy castlevania chronicles for playstation, sounds like a good buy.
Oh hell yeah Crotch, getting Duo Dracula X motivated you into tracking down the harder to find Castlevania titles some more eh?
Last night while chilling at Books A Million waiting for my clubbing entourage to show up, I beat both Japanese “Bleach” games on my bud’s PSP on Story Mode.
I hear ya on the unlocking on Sonic Gems, Remy. No clue why Sonic Team decided you had to do the most stupidest of things to unlock some blasted pictures.
I picked up GameStop’s last new copy of DDRMAX. Was $30 but I loved DDRMAX2 so much, I just had to play the original. I also pre-ordered DDR Extreme 2 and got a free sample disc with 14 songs on it from DDR Extreme 2. Also pre-ordered We Love Katamari.
:tup: I’ve yet to get a AAA rank on any song. My guess is you HAVE to earn PERFECT steps throughout the whole song. Maybe I should start trying to do that on Light songs.
Also snagged the GC version of Namco Museum 50th Anniversary. I was so tempted to get it for Galaga alone but when I saw they took a cue from Activision Anthology and included some '80s songs, I was sold. And you can’t beat the price: $20.
so i beat castlevania chronicles, shit this game was fucking… for lack of a better word, ghetto. i was expecting a cv1 remake so i was kind of disappointed… and simon looks like a prostitute in the new outfit.
and drac was so fucking easy. some parts were awesome though like the underground water ride, the room before death where the sky is hidden as wallpaper and last level with the room catching on fire.
music was alright, glad to see bloody tears and theme of simon in… i just wish cross your heart would finally show up in another castlevania. one of the best cv songs and it was only in the shitty arcade game :sad:
I just have to finish the moon part of majora’s mask, game is actually pretty damn fun. But I still prefer ocarina over majora. Also a few days ago I started up a new game for jet force gemini, that game is fucking awesome. I like when you get to the part where you get to use lupus the dog.
I’m currently playing Vampire Collection for PS2. I finally got a chance to try out KOF Neowave for PS2, and all I have to say is :tup: to both games.
Anyone can attest to how much of a KOF nut I am. Neowave feels MUCH more like 98’ than any of the other post-SNK KOFs do, and I’m glad. It plays great, and the music and BGs (although devoid of BG characters) are the shit!
Vampire Collection is awesome too. Now I’ve got all 5 Darkstalkers games on one disk, and that is uber-convenient for me. I’m getting one step closer to selling my Saturn and DC at this rate, since all the games I want are coming to PS2 and XBL now.
I ordered Garou, KOF Neowave, and Raiden for PS2 as well. Can’t wait to get my hands on a new shooter (Raiden comes out on the 29th.
In a few days, I’m going to try to pick up God of War. I keep hearing how great it is, and I watched one dude play it when I was overseas - it looks nice. Then Capcom Collection is coming out. That’s gonna be nice to have a complete Final Fight (complete w/ Guy and a 2-player mode) on the go. I can’t wait to see what other games will be on the disc.
