Board 8 > Fighting Game Topic: AC XX Plus Taco Purge Edition [sf4] [mvc3] [sg] [blolanka]

(+) Yeah! (+)

It purged again!

I've been getting into Skullgirls, this game is super intense. Trying to get some Parasoul combos down, but it's tough! I played a bunch with my friend who is really good (he goes to WNF and is on stream a bunch). He gave me a crash course on the game. High/low mixups all day. So scary.

Also played some SC5 with him, we dicked around with A.Patroklos, trying to get his just frame attacks down. Didn't go so well.

Also, SF4, as usual. I think we're both kind of starting to get bored of this game though. Some mindless Ryu/Guile sets.

And there was talk of us playing Civ5? I'm thinking about actually starting my first game right now!

they might restock or whatever it is they do before the sale's up, so if you're interested, keep checking and you might get lucky!

EDIT: looks like they have the 360 version in stock

I'm still super into SSF4 obviously

I played a Balrog and Abel both within the top 5 for those characters the other day. One of them I split 2 games with, and the other I ended up taking both games from, I forget which. Probably should've saved replays of those, maybe I still can.

I've also been running into this guy online a ton who's really good with THawk, except he picks Hakan every time I play him now. He's got the best Hakan I've seen online, so I enjoy the matchup experience, but I wish I could face off against his Hawk again sometime to see where I compare.

I mostly just play 3s

actually that's been a realization of mine recently. as I pile up fighting games (in the past year I've bought SSF4, MK9, KoF 13, Skullgirls, Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, Virtua Fighter 5, Marvel 2, Marvel 3, SF2 HDR, and SFxT) I don't play a whole lot of them. if I'm in a fighting game mood I usually just play 3s with my real life buddy or online. I'll probably pick up Persona and give it a whirl but maybe not too many more FGs after that unless they look really interesting.

I'm not sure what it is exactly, 3s just feels rewarding to my brain. I wanna keep playing and keep getting better and most of my game time is put there. last game I sunk this much time into was SSBM. I guess I'm not really a FG fan, just a 3s fan who dabbles in SF2 and 4 and wishes CvS2 had online play.

of all those other ones though I like MK9. it seems like B8 never really played it but from my experience it was a good time. never played online though.

MK9 no thanks

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

I would totally buy MK9 but I can't buy vanilla when I know Komplete edition is out and that's $50. I don't like spending more than $40 on games. I don't think I've bought a game over $40 in over a year actually...

asked this in the last topic but I think that was the last post before it purged

anyone play SSFIV on PC? or any fighting games on PC? thought about getting it a few times but decided not to since most people play it on 360/PS3

I play various old fighting games on PC GGPO

fighting games anyone?

also to actually answer your question I don't think anyone plays SSF4 on PC

most people who are interested in the game have it for PS3 or 360. I think most of B8 has it for 360.

I'll look into it tomorrow, I'm new at/looking to get into traditional fighters in general, I just used SSFIV as an example since I figured it would probably be most common being newest

So apparently they are completely rehauling the Street Fight X Tekken engine.

So... yeah. Maybe it won't completely blow. I refuse to pay for any of it though.

Where did you hear that? I already got rid of the game so I don't really care but it's still interesting.

Online Warrior, who said it's on Hadouken.com and a few other sites that Seth Killian was talking about how they aren't giving up on the game and are going to completely rehaul it.

So Dante and I tried to play SSF4 and we could each play other people but it wouldn't let us play each other. For him it just said Can't Join Session but for me it said something about not having the necessary downloadable content, despite having all the possible (free) DLC.

Neither of us have Arcade Edition.

Help.

maybe it is punishing you for not having Sakura's dress DLC

actually I have no idea

I've played AE 2012 in old SSF4 mode so that wouldn't be a problem anyway

That was something

I saw every frame of the vs. screen that exists

when I invited you I had been playing under great internet for the last hour or so

then bam like a plague

but yeah that was impressive at the end. we've seen a lot of frames in our time but that vs screen was the best we've ever done

--

I timed a light punch

took between 4 and 5 seconds

I wonder how many frames an lp is

--

Alex's jab and crouching jab are both 4 startup, 2 active, 9 recovery

so if it took 5 seconds to start, I'm guessing we were running 1 frame per second

Virtua Fighter with Lopen on 360 right now.

This is a blast.

--
Whatever...

Triple Dick Punch is unbeatable.

--
Whatever...

Y'all need to get in on this VF5. Pretty cheap game!

We're terrible but who cares. Triple dick punch is viable in all tiers

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I bought VF5 and then it downloaded almost the whole way and then the download failed. Trying again now.

Also I can suddenly do everyone's trials in SSF4. I cleared the last few trials for 5 characters over the past two days, after making hardly any progress for months.

--

Nee IM me when you DL it. I'm totally down for playing.

--
Whatever...

I'm gonna mess around in the training mode for a bit before I do play it. I played VF4 a bit back in the day, but hell if I remember how that series works 5 years later.

--

Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

Game is weird. Can't blame you.

--
Whatever...

SYTHA LET'S DO THIS

I picked one character to mess around with and of course it's one with a bunch of weird moves that make little sense to me. Obviously this will now be my main even though I am baffled by half the things I can do.

--
ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER.
Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

EXCELLENT. You have my XBOX LIVE right?

Whoa I have to pick my character first? weird

Yea... It's fine. I'm not really saying too much that important. but IT'S LIKE YOUR MOVING IN SLOW MOTION!

--
Whatever...

I really wish I knew of a way to fix that. Cause yea. It's by far the biggest flaw in the game I think.

--
Whatever...

Augh all these stance changes I am canceling into

what does it all mean

--

Can you see my Dante outfit or no?

Also LOL at that throw that you do. Looks so derpy.
