Yes, I was at CF again today for a good 8 hours playing the game.

You guys DO NOT want to know how much money I spent playing this game these past two days. Haha, your eyes would roll out of their sockets.

Regardless, I’m really loving it. The Saki / Kira player from yesterday showed up again today and our matches kept going back and forth. This game clicked for me so quickly (especially today), but of course my problems thus far are getting Fiona’s combos down as I’ve yet to fully grasp the timing / spacing for homing cancels.

I’m sure I was probably doing scrubilicious stuff (like sweeping to combo Arcana Supers (236+ABC) but thus far I’m doing what I can.

I also played Yoriko, Saki, and Heart today. I can’t fathom how the japanese plays Saki, some of her motions make my fingers cry, but she’s hella fast. Heart is very fun to play with, as Yoriko.

I played a few Kamui’s today as well. Some fucking 12 year old got 11 wins with her when I got in (I don’t know how) so I wasn’t having that. Someone else came in and had half an idea of how to play with her, which basically kept me to figure out ways around her and basically just being patient as hell / blocking for ten minutes.

**THIS GAME IS ALOT OF FUCKING FUN, IT DESERVES TO BE GIVEN A CHANCE BY EVERYONE. IT’LL BE A GOD DAMN SHAME IF THIS GAME FUCKING BOMBS AT CF, REGARDLESS OF THE 75 CENT PRICE TAG.

GO OUT AND PLAY THIS GAME MOTHERFUCKERS**.

I’ll be there again next Saturday hopefully.

Fiona > *

:smiley:

its strange reading such a strong response for this game coming out of everyone

but i am not complaining! i shall wait for my chance to play on the 3rd!

LMAO too good :rofl:

The kid could barely reach the stick / buttons, and I watched him beat THE OTHER Kamui player when I came in on top of that, which made me want to cry.

And yes, my Fiona is annoying because I do ghetto guard cancel baiting with 214+A/B stuff and basically keep the opponent the fuck away from me by doing j.B at maximum range. Silly stuff I’m sure.

I’ll post up exactly what I do with Fiona and what I found in a little bit.

<3

So how much inflation you talking?:wonder:
Until you make your money back or long after? Its very obvious what your doing and I have no idea where your mindset is with you actually getting Arcana Heart in the first place. If CF/East Coast is going to get into this game seriously and a good amount do then your not being fair by no means. (Not that you care anyway but Im just saying)
So Im assuming things are gonna stay this way because its about what HENRY can get out of it right?

And thanks to that vid now I (kinda)understand the timing for it. When I have the free time I’ll try picking her up again.

You better go up next week, so I can show you what I learned from these win videos I found of Yoriko. I swear that if I get the practice, I’m instant top tier. D;

see Chinatown is good shit ilke that

lots of random fucks/unknowns. this place is a breeding ground for good, SOLID comp in all games. very few places still have this type of mentality, only problem is there are lots of things holding good players back here.

chibi actually post up exactly how much you spent. I know I spent $20 playing in 6 hours that night I played at least for sure. Did you spend over $100? I’m sure Henry is reading these boards anyway even if he doesnt post. Was the game packed all weekend?

MAN I WANNA HOLD FUCKING TOURNEYS FOR THIS THING UP HERE.

but about the 75 cents thing i dont know if people are going to pay that on top of entry fee for a tourney.

im fully prepared to blow shit up and do what it takse to get this game big up here, since i know a lot of games wont get big on srk period without capcom players approval because everyone plays follow the leader lol. new game, new era. that’s why i was so pissed off by dsp’s comments in #capcom on the other page. he clearly has no other clue about any scene other than capcom games, (st really for that matter) and he shits on the game on the premise of it being a “faggot anime game,” then says noone who is competitive in fighters is playing it.

but last i checked, fubarduck, myself, kaneda, jeron etc have all competed and placed in big tourneys on a national level and were still supporting this game, so fuck that retarded theory.

Anyway -

kenmastersx/stone - Thanks for posting that info. Like I said my goal was to get some discussion on this matter and to find out about the scene you guys have in tx down there. Wow, I didn’t know you guys had THAT level of dedication…good shit, for sure, keep playing. I probably couldnt do that myself lol. And fubarduck has a board? LOLOL. Damn son…niggas be making moves hardcore!! Yo good shit! If you can, ask Ryan to tape some direct feed vids if he can please, because I know he is a videophile. I (as well as others) would like to see some Action from the dirty south for this game lol.

As for the tourney scene for this game up here -
Well see how shit rolls after Justin’s tourney up here before deciding what to do next. I don’t have high hopes for it obviously at this point.

But yeah, I’m fully prepared to build hype for this game and take vids for the scene up here, to BLOWWWWWWWW SHIT UP.

I know u guys would be very grateful for USA Arcana Hearts vids anyway. I’ve been recording vids for the Tekken scene up here lately, and while there are some cool dudes in the NY tekken community, by large they are a bunch of ungrateful fucks who are only concerned with “doing them” and not helping the scene as a whole. I’m really tired of putting in hard work for a community I don’t even get along with just because they can’t take any videos of themselves. It was fun, but I don’t think I’ll be doing anything more for them in the future, considering the hours of work I put into it, but you never know, I am a reasonable guy.

I’m sure we can all help each other to get better and build the scene for the game here little by little, and I have no problem helping all of you to do that, as I don’t even know if someone like myself would be the best player here or not. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nick T: Just come to CF and play like the rest of us. I have as little knowledge as u do and everyone is on a clean slate. I only have a good mindset in general (well I think I do) to play fighters but that doesn’t mean anything right now, I can’t help anyone else at this point, the only thing we can do is play each other hardcore.

At some point, if we can get enough support, I would love to do a fundraiser tournament to send the best NY player (that wins said tourney) to tx to help defray some of the costs. Of course, this depends on many many things…so yeah…stay tuned I guess.

I think I spent a good $45+ playing the game. I know the money disappeared yesterday as I tried to figure the game out against that Kamui player with 47 wins, but today I didn’t spend as much as I had a much better understanding of the game.

Also, I’ll be happy to hype this game up with you Art.

Still typing up Fiona TIPS AND TRICKS (Chibi ghetto version).

:stuck_out_tongue:

I feel you Sabin, but Im praying that Henry lower the price cause I heard alot of people saying there not playing until it becomes 50 cent, If Im not mistaken Justin Wong was one of the peeps who said it.

Chibi make me prem and Ill give you the money next week :slight_smile:

Screw you, I came to NYC with 150 and left with 80.

Art:
Yah I know, I just got school and random stuff. I only went last Thurs because I figured why not!!!

But seriously. I spent like $15 dollars just that one day(keep in mind I was only there for one day so far) But I do want to learn the game. Only reason why I think the game is OK is because honestly, every game is just ok to me. Everyone knows im a pretty neutral person so yeah.

I’ll go on Fri to practice up then go to the cf tourny that sat. Although I might be going to the movies with the gf. She sprung it up on me like, "Hey where going to the movies with some people"
I was like, “oook?”

Anyway enough rambling. bye

Wait tourny sat?

What exactly did he say that caused you to perform a complete 180 with regards to this?

As an aside, I just wonder if this enthusiasm will stick once the golden ticket is claimed and they promptly embarrass themselves in Japan. Even with that, maybe PZ running AH was a good idea, regardless of all that.

With every post I want to come back to NYC and school you all. lol

Your Fiona is weak Chibs. WEAK. Kira will be having none of that big sword bullshit. Everyone gets curbstomped.

My Fiona is awesomes, but yeah I’d lose to you easy as you know damn well how fucking badly I hate playing agaist grappling characters.

I’m also pretty sure Fiona has some fucking horrible ass backwards match ups, probably the worst in the game.

GO FIGURE, OF COURSE I HAD TO PICK THE BITCH.

<3

Which Arcana do you use with Kira?

There was this guy that used the time one and he would teleport behind you xx grab super. It was fast and kinda made it hard to get out of.

I like the interest on this game.

With that being said, 75 Cents on an doujin-ish anime fighter is too high for some ppl (even working folks). 50 is the magic number. I bet if Henry were to drop the price down, mad heads will be jumping on this game.

I know i’m right, since i know for a fact that it would personally motivate me to play more, never mind the Justin Wongs out there. What else can i say? Arcana Heart is a good game. More ppl need to pick it up. Don’t let the anime exterior fool you.

Is it 2/3 rounds or 3/5 rounds?

If its 2/3 rounds, it should be 50 cents (hell i live in JAPAN and i wouldnt pay that much just for 2/3 rounds), if its 3/5 rounds, then 75 cents isnt too bad.

Nick - Kaneda has stated many times he uses the rock arcana. When i use Kira, i use Fira. Lately, i see mostly Dark with Kira mainly for the fly-fish punch trap.

As for it being a competitive fighter, well, i see more tourneys for this than any other game since i’ve been here. In addition, at one tourney i went to, there were 90 teams of 2 people. This is just one tourney of many. Having 180 people for a single tournament, i dont care what you think of the game, you can’t say that its not tourney worthy if that many people show up for the thing.

2/3 :frowning:

Its 2/3, and I really don’t mind, since I’m planning on spending craploads of money if I’m going to NYC.

But yeah, I can see why it should be 50 cents.
