nothing like zsnes to take me back to the good old days…
for the umpteenth time im replaying FF6… man i love this game so much nothing tops it except Chrono Trigger(which i beat about a month before i restarted this)… Opera scene still owns… and Cyan seeing his family on the phantom train is still the most emotional moment in FF history…
picked up SFAC as well… fun to play… fun to wath the movie… and finally got a good Console 3rd Strike port…
good week this week.
[Rick James]Zsnes is a hell of a drug! [/Rick James]
I’m finally getting to play through 7th saga and I must say that it is easily as addictive now as ever. That and several other Snes and NES faves are getting run through their paces of late thanks to the glory of emulation.

It’s been like that since it came out. You thought it was going to change? :lol:
T.Hawk = Nightmare!
I had no idea EVERY CPU fighter would be on ST AI. It’s even worse than the GBA version, something I never thought could be possible. :wow:
Did anyone toggle the music style on Hyper SF2?
haha I loved it when I discovered they pulled out the old dust covered CPS1 synthesizer that made the SF2 World Warrior, Champion and Turbo Edition music and redid Super SF2 tunes also.
EDIT: I ran to my newly opened Gamestop Location (been open for 2 weeks, and is 5 driving minutes from my house) and pre-ordered GGXX #Reload. September 8 right? Just wanna be sure. This Gamestop location is cool though, just quickly on the day it opened, I made friends with the employees there, they’re not assholes which most people think of GS employees.
Yeah, I checked out the tuneage in HSFII. I never heard the arcade original tunes so I gotta say that they are a real treat to hear for the first time. The arranged music is tight, especially Cammy’s theme. :tup:
Ah, memories of Super Fucking Turbo, 8 stars? coming back. Reading inputs, no-charge charge attacks by the CPU, and the unfair throw/hit damage difference. =) and =( at the same time.
I recently got the following titles for the PS2. And yes, I am a 2d fighter freak.
SamSho 5/0- AST option is nice. Game feels ok so far. Granted, I was never really into the SS series, if I get the hang of this I might move on to SS2 as well.
Third Strike- Fun! I never got to play the arcade/DC version so this is really great. Still learning how to parry. The music is great, and AI is challenging enough

I plan on reviewing all three, somewhere down the road. :party:
whoah…I’ve been out of the loop. I was a fan of the Samurai Shodown series…but I didn’t know there was another one…eh, too bad it’s on that system I’m trying to avoid(at least for as long as possible. I’m probably one of 7 people left in this country that doesn’t have a ps2 yet.)
So…when is that SF Collection or whatever coming to Xbox? (*that’s a system I actually will get pretty soon…at least before Halo 2 comes out…)
Viewtiful Joe – The Great Captain Blue: the level with Six Machine was actually easier than usual this time around…I forgot where I left off on the last posted update, but I just beat Another Joe with Blue last night(Ultra-Vrated). AJ got me once after I messed up…but I beat him on the 2nd attempt. I actually went through the whole level 4 for the first time since last year when I found out you could skip half that level. I got the puzzle area on the first try thanks to an easily memorable pattern…and I even got a Rainbow V on that part.
Now, I am on my way to another truly tough part of the game, imo…after level 5…the street part…I think the train is next. The train is a BITCH on Ultra V. There’s tons of enemies everywhere, and it’s a tight space with nowhere to dodge or hide for a VFX refill.
*I really hate those cromarty enemies that have bazookas. That shit forces you to use slow, and the small missles can’t be hit back like bullets…so it’s either a forced Viewtiful Forever, an auto-dodge that kills your VFX bar, or just get hit. (there are usually at least 6 or 7 or more things to worry about besides the damn heat-seeking missle they just fired.)
Semi here!
Currently sucking at Metal Gear Solid 2. Haven’t played in over a year and it’s showing.
Semi out!
Shit haven’t played my MGS2 in 2 years. And played Substance on XBox only once.
All because of those fucking movies.

My brother-in-law was at my house when I got home from work so I was finally able to get some 2-player action in on SFAC. He pretty much owned me on HSFII. The win ration was 11-2. I cheesed a few of my wins, though. I used CE E. Honda and did nothing but the Hundred Handslap and cornered him. 
I never really played much CE. I mean, I have it on my Genesis but back in the day, I thought CE was just the Genesis version of Turbo. CE versions of SF characters RULE!! :tup: But he totally owned me with ST Vega. He used those dizzy combos and showed no mercy.
We were pretty much even on 3S since we were both pretty much new to the game. Chun-Li is still my girl and she earned me one of my 5 wins in 3S. Alex is a bit slow but I really like him. He has excellent reach. What’s the deal with Q? I’ve never seen a dude move so…akward in a fighting game. Seriously, what’s up with him? I mean :wow: Weirdness aside, I suck with him. Sean is pretty sweet, though. I really like the parry system in this game. I use it when I’m getting pounded on to perform so counters.
LOL. I had forgotten about that game. Malice legion at full power = funtime!!! I still use that one for laughs by letting them shoot up everyone in the area while I chill out and watch from the couch. Come to think of it, I think I’ll go pop it in now and laugh.

Recently finished bof4… I LOVE this game! But I heard some stuff was sensored in the english version???
Does anyone else think that RPG don’t feel the same in 3D?? Kind of like the difference between the good old 2d SF games and SF EX?
Okay, I’m seriously done with SA2B for now. Crazy Gadget turned out to be easier than expected (though still Hellacious), but getting "A"s n 1st Mission and Time Trial on Final Rush is impossible. There are next to no stunts in that level, and I have no friggin’ clue how to beat 13000 on it. I was able to on Hard Mode, though, thanks to the massive numbers of enemies. But anyway, I’m done for now. I’m gonna play Luigi’s Mansion for a while.
Just saw some vids of that game Monster Hunter coming out, looks pretty cool, and its online. Anyone got the goods on this game? Overhyped? Underrated? Anything?
Been playing 3rd Strike this afternoon trying to beat thegame as Alex. It was then that I discovered the full brokeness that is Gill. The little f** his a move called Resurrection, which gives him a full freaking bar of health after you’ve pounded him into the ground. This f** is worse than Bison. And then his has the 6 hit combo where he grabs you and rapes you from behind with one hand. Chun-Li does pretty good against him but he keeps using his gay recover move. Gill is teh :lame: Screw him. :tdown:
Bumpage.
My brother-in-law and I are really improving at 3rd Strike. The more I play the game, the more I like it. I’ve already beaten the game with Ken, Ryu, Alex, Twelve and Sean. Sean and Alex are now two of my fav characters in the SF universe. Where they in SFIII and 2nd Impact? I like Twelve’s design but I’m not very good with him. Chun-Li is just teh PWNAGE in 3S. Seriously, 3S Chun-Li is now my fav.
I actually went back and played some HSFII single player. :wow: I was reminded that CE E. Honda can move while he’s dowing the Hundred Hand Slap, which gave me an idea. I never saw his ending in SFII-SFII: T so I thoguht I’d finish the game with him…cheese style. I only lost to Chun-Li once and Bison serveral times. Other than that, I ruled all. CE E. Honda was too much for the ST AI. They couldn’t screw with me.
Stungun Headbutt stops resurrection cold. 
When he’s getting up, you activate, and he’ll only get 30% of his bar back with the right timing.
EDIT: He’ll also LOOSE some of that 30% from the following headbutts. Then you can do a Flash Chop Suplex to finish him off.
OMFG! I went to this guy’s house to get some 3S games in, and despite the fact I was getting good and practicing, this scrub was fucking using Gill, I actually almost became a angry scrub myself cuz he kept abusing that resurrection and semi-unblockable super. I wanted to tell the guy off so bad that nobody uses final bosses when playing among each other. At this rate, Capcom did a bad thing making Gill accessible in the PS2 version.
