I’ve never played a SS before, is it a really huge difference in gameplay in comparison to KoF / CvS2 / etc?
;p
http://www.din.or.jp/~c-o/menu.html = Colony One Eiji Kaneda.
This is his site I would have just pm’d it to you but you don’t take PMs so I cluttered the thread up a little more.
I still want to play this game as Andrew!
Dont know about this one, but up to SS5s, yes, SS plays very differently.
Doesnt look like the same guy. Not the color art, not the line-art (i have black-and-white for SSTenka too).
For some reason the japanese characters of his site appear as gibberish on my computer (i have full japanese support in my computer, so that shouldnt happen), so i cant check his “work” page to see if the game is listed there.
Which weapon is he using, Log or sword?
SS plays extremely similar to old school SF and a lot of other old school fighting games which is why it’s fun. Lots of strategy and one mistake means you die. Like Uncuazi said SS4 is the worst out of all of them…we can play next time you’re at CF :tup:
Well thanks for trying to take a look anyway. But yeah I agree doesn’t look the same way.
Wow they redrew sieger and he looks pretty dope, the backgrounds are good also. It seems like they toned down the damage which i kind of frown upon, but on the flipside it makes the gameplay faster. We’ll see how long before this game becomes broken
Siamese mallet.
How do I open an Izh file? I dont want to d/l it on dial up and not be able to open it.
Winrar baby
WANFU:
ok i saw a good wanfu today, the guy was using a bunch of stuff i didnt even know existed (as i mentioned before they tend to only list like half a characters moves on the panels these days) and i totally forgot his weapon spin special from ss2 as well.
basically he was throwing his weapon alot and trying to mixup after it by rushing in… the weapon throw isnt really fast enough to do that effectively with though it does tend to scare the opponent enough to make dash=>throw a viable option (giving you knockdown and time to pick your weapon up.
his weapon swing move is good and seems to have a new part at the end of it where wanfu lets go and the weapon bounces in an arc towards the opponent which is good for catching ppl off guard (you lose the weapon though).
he also has good normals that do good damage, a few butt attacks and kicks in the air which are good for crossing up, a great attack with his butt from standing position which the guy was using heaps and getting lots of hits here and there with.
he was also being tricky with the weapon throw in the air by doing it just as he left the ground on the way up.
basically wanfu seems much better than i first thought after watching this guy play him.
GENAN:
gave him a try and hes pretty cool, i am thinking about using him properly though at the moment andrew is my man. im basically a charlotte player but with the new systems and major overhaul of the basic mechanics and physics ive not really gotten back into using her.
his normals are basically his ss2 selfs normals. he has his crouching glove throw attack though it doesnt stun in this game 
only hit. he also has a new move where he jumps back onto the wall then you can manuever him in the air ala spanish ninja. looks like it could be good combined with his j.HVY. his poison breath ball is excellent. stays out for quite a while, light is right in front of him, med in the middle of the screen and hvy comes out super fast and flies off the screen iirc.
EARTHQUAKE:
he is cool! dont know how much success i could have with him but im gonna try. his dp+KICK is his fart throw. he has a “fat breaker” move which is a hcb+AD which i havent tried yet. his d+SLASH in the air is awesome, HVY keeps on going for like 5 bounces whereas LIGHT only bounces once. his spin (dp+SLASH) has good/deceptive recovery time. his chain sweep is df+MED.
his super is the command grab which does nice damage and you can move him forward ala ss2.
ANDREW:
he rocks! ive totally picked him up and have a blast playing him despite him being new. his dp is good on wakeup. his fb is great with its different speeds. his rdp+SLASH has him jumping up and forward (imagine a super long hop for the HVY version, a normal hop for the LIGHT version) and stabbing just before he hits the ground… often leaves you vulnerable to being thrown though coz to get close enough to hit with it youve got to be right next to them.
his s.MED, c.MED, j.HVY, c.LIG, s.LIG, dashing HVY are all good. still hes not very strong in the air though his j.HVY is good for a meaty (jump straight up as they wake up) and his c.HVY might be a good aa. hes a decent poker, not haomaru caliber but not far off.
popular choices are yumeji and iroha, they beast.
most ppl use 5 or 5spc grooves.
the system is very different to 5 and previous games.
+less hit stun.
+easier crossups
+j.ATTACK->s.ATTACK now combos very easily (j.HV->s.HV for example)
+you can now cancel into long range blocked HVY/MED hits which changes the game dramatically. hao players throw in a fb, kyoshiro characters a dp, etc… lots of catching ppl off guard and block damage from it.
+no more easy to do wake up roll
+a bit speedier.
+low damage, matches are long.
great fun though, heaps of characters and variety and it looks gorgeous. some of the bgs are the best ive seen in years (africa for example.) the sprites are really sharp and detailed and the bgs are really well done for 3d looking almost totally 2d. effects are really nice and its hard to tell they are 3d not 3d, everything matches nicely.
Who’s the character that has the huge gear in its back?
Ukyo info please?
Umm…surprised nobody asked, but…any word about Ukyo? I’d laugh my ass off if they returned Tsubame Gaeshi to the projectile form, kya ha ha ha.
SenseiYeah I wanna know about this monstrosity too. Seems really annoying to fight against because the wheel stays on the ground? What’s up with that?
Seems like s/he’d be fun to play though.
Dammit.
I finally get to school where I have a fast enough connection to watch the vids, and the site is “TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE”.
…fuck.
…seriously.
For the love of god can we get some ukyo info in samsho2 groove
and man some info on hanzo,galford, and jubei
Samsho2 ukyo>>>>all
Seriously he domainted in 2 does he in tenka while in that groove?
Dude the reason he dominated was because of his air fireball, which he doesn’t have anymore. A groove isn’t going to change that.
While that air fireball was great he dominated because he had great recovery time for most of his moves and combo’s that why he was and is the the man come on show a little respect o btw
Ukyo>>>>>Hanzo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kage maru
yumeji has that air fb now (though its slightly different). she also has the ground one ukyo had in his evil (or was it good) version in ss4. shes a bit of a fiend and pretty popular.
galford sucks coz hes not my favourite version, the evil one from ss4.
dont play ukyo. im giving info on ppl i play and or know well, deal with it 
Ok I can respect that thanks for the info you didnt play hanzo did you?
