1. After a number of games, the HUD will be corrupt. Yellow lifebars will freeze, the round counter flags will all be on, and the names will show more than one name. (PS3 and Xbox 360)
2. Frequent disconnects during VS transition screen. Often caused by selecting START color of character. (PS3 and Xbox 360)
3. Title crashes if user has a large friends list and tries to access the friends list (PS3)
4. Rating being set to "0" and from then on, rating remains at "0". Once that patch goes live, we'll reset all leaderboards/scoreboards. (PS3 and Xbox 360)
5. Vega sometimes causing desyncing, especially when using the fake wall dive. (PS3 and Xbox 360).
6. Lobby list containing full rooms instead of only rooms that users can enter. (PS3 and Xbox 360).
7. Zangief Super Motion not working on both sides and in both directions.
8. During the start of the match, there is slight slowdown. This has been minimized as much as possible. (PS3).
9. If connecting to a ranked match through the quick match function, it is best out of 3 rather than best out of 5. (PS3 and Xbox 360)
10. Sending messages via XMB during a game causes a freeze. (PS3)
11. Players not added to "Players Met" list. (PS3)
12. Analog and D-pad can accept input at the same time. (PS3 and Xbox 360)
13. Player stats not reporting correctly.

YAY for #1.

Had a chance to play some good matches with Kal. Pretty happy with how I did, even if I did lose most of 'em. I just want to learn how to play some other characters better so I can switch it up in vs.

Good night for me overall. Ended up winning most of my matches. Last series of matches wee against a jump spammer who I destroyed with rose and abel.

How is the HD Remix game? Worth a purchase or no?

Depends.

On?

I can give you the code that's coming with my Elite.

Your personal preferences. HD Remix is a great game with throwback (and improved) gameplay with some hot looking sprites. The animation is choppy, though, and it will feel like something out of the early 90's.

Yeah, would be much better off with Guilty Gear.

Considering it IS a game from the early 90's...

Look at you trying to say something about me.

And I jizzed in my pants.

Did you now?

I did.

Well okay then.

Going for ryu's ultra and I jizzed in my pants.

I was so fuckin worn out yesterday, I swear. My thumbs and hands just wern't fast enough. Went on a 9 game losing streak against kalyx.

Even lost to Fignuts a few times :o

We have our days. My bro was that Guile, though, and he's in the 2000s.

You've got a pretty sick Akuma, RoXer. Though I didn't get to match up Bison with him, I'm sure you would have given me trouble then too.

I <u>really</u> need to learn to play someone besides Bison effectively. It takes a lot of the fun out of everything when I'm the one who keeps picking the same guy.

BlazBlue (spiritual sequel to Guity Gear seres) is officially coming Stateside with both English and Jap voicework on both 360 and PS3. 30 hour story mode. I just JIZZED... IN MY PANTS.

30 hours? 30 hours of what? Damn.

The gameplay looks a tad more open ended than GG. I'm no expert, but Khuntry is a whore for the GG series (and a fierce player). He's jizzing pants as well.

So many fighting games, baby.

2009, year of the fighter. Fuck a zodiac.

I CAN'T FUCKIN CONTAIN MYSELF!!!

Cutscenes I bet. I thought battle fantasia was the spiritual sequel to GG anyways

Oh no no no no no. BF is a prototype of somthing decent down the line, but a spiritual sequel is wasn't. It does share certain elements that are inherent to the developer's games.

Hey let's talk about Street Fighter instead.

Street fighter blew

I didn't get into it until 2

You ever play the Guilty Gear games Roxer? It's the Street Fighter games on drugs, man. And it's a very good trip.

BlazBlue is gonna be sweet.

Guilty Gear can only be described as a high resolution hyper kinetic acid trip featuring characters from a teenage psycho's wildest dreams doing battle to a rock concert playing off screen.

I bought Guilty Gear x 2 version reload 2 load version x tenth reload 2.

I was not impressed.

Yeah, that's a better portrayal than what I said. Game is bonkers.

Roxer, what is your opinion on the King of Fighters series?

Can't say

KoF11 is good fun. It was unfortunate that I got the two year old game a few weeks before SF4.

Street Fighter has classic characters, but SNK is really much more of a driving force in terms of innovating gameplay mechanics. So many diverse character types.

My advice? Pick up KoF 02/03, KoF 98, KoF 00/01 and KoFX1 for PS2, as they are all pretty cheap and really fucking awesome. Or if you wanna play it on the PC get Neo Rage.

Remember that time I JIZZED... IN MY PANTS? It happened again.

Hand drawn fighters are so sexy.

:nono:

I've really improved my Zangief. Finally able to pull off all his moves with ease. Back as a kid, I couldn't do anything with him except the spinning clothesline.
I still can't work Rufus or El Fuerte for the life of me. I can pull of moves with them but, in matches, I'm useless with them.

I have a quick favour to ask you guys. Does anyone know where I can find an image of the symbols on Dans back/chest? Not an image of Dan with the symbols. Just the symbols. My costume is done. I have the suit (dyed and altered), the tshirt, the gloves and some sandles because I need footwear. If I can add the symbols as a finishing touch, it would be great. The party is tonight so if anyone can help me out before it's too late, I'd owe you one. Obviously, I've looked and found nothing. I was going to print them onto transfer paper I have lying around and iron it on the suit.

Can't find a clean version.

A clean version of the symbols? It's not a big thing. I have a pink suit, a tshirt and everything else. If people know Dan, they just need a guy with a ponytail in a pink karate gi. If someone doesn't know Dan, symbols wont make a difference. It's just a little detail I wanted to finish with.
Thanks for helping out anyway.

If anyone does find them, though, let me know.

Btw, Kalyx, I think we need to face each other again. I reckon I can do a decent match now and not hop all over the place.

I can hop on tonight maybe. I've been off Street Fighter for a few days, getting in some exhibition only today (and being a tad rusty at that). This wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that I haven't been working out scenarios in my head the entire time I wasn't playing. So a session with you should whip me back into shape.

Well, I have that party tonight so I wont be online so you can always work off any rust you have tonight and I can have a match over the weekend.

Having a Terminator SCC marathon right now. Weekend seems likely.

k lets play

Just picked this up. I am terrible.

Update: I am still terrible. I've unlocked all of the characters except Gouken and Seth so far. I haven't much time to play this due to this being my last full-time semester in college so it'll probably take me awhile to pick some of the finer points up.

I've done the best so far with Sagat, but that's really no accomplishment given his obvious strengths. I think I have great potential with Crimson Viper.

However, I'm absolute ass with an character that has mostly charge based special moves. I can get the moves off but it isn't fluid. And I can never land any of the Super/Ultra moves either.

Charge characters have better normals than everyone else. Put them to good use.

Yeah, when I use Honda, Vega, and Blanka, I mostly use special moves as fake outs, and rely mostly on normals. Works pretty good.

http://kotaku.com/5170764/the-king-o...s-for-consoles

Just a little bit of awesome for you KoF fans. :y:

You guys can thank RoXy for pumping up my Vega. He'll be deliciously laying waste to fools now that he's battle tested.

Good news if you still have the joystick ordered.



Capcom: More MadCatz Street Fighter 4 controllers by April

by Xav de Matos { 14 hours ago }
Good news for fighting game aficionados out of Capcom and MadCatz HQ today. A new shipment of the specialty controllers and arcade sticks for (and that should have come bundled with) Street Fighter IV will be available soon. Darin from the Capcom Unity Blog sends word that MadCatz will have a few units of the popular -- but somewhat problematic -- controllers by the end of this month and the end of April.

While the number of units isn't being thrown around, Capcom says there should be enough stock to take care of most, if not all, existing orders. As for the ability to one day walk into a store and freely purchase a unit off the shelf ... let's not talk crazy, folks.

Makes SSF2THDR look like an upscaled DVD in comparison :D

Now that's not fair. HD Remix never intended to be a new fighter on the visuals front, they just dressed up the original sprites. No way can HD Remix hold up against any new 2D fighter. It looks silly compared to the Alpha series.

So how is that not fair? An upscaled DVD is taking old tech and making it HD, which is kinda what the game did anyways.

Are you referring to KoF12 or Street Fighter HDR? Cause KoF12 is not old tech.

As in DVD being old tech

I'll be watching you.

But I'm naked :wtf:

All the better.

lol I know it's mega old, but I just found out about SF2 Rainbow. I want it. :(

That silly shit. A poor excuse for code. Just cause you can do it doesn't mean you should, kids!

Like posting on a Power Rangers website?



ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

:shifty:

I like how the dude just fires off 12 sonic booms and Honda just starts shooting hadoukens and they home in on you if you jump. The Honda turns into another Guile. And Flying Blanka. Fucking hilarious.

It's in MAME, mang

I know it is.

mang

UDON SUCKS and so do those ugly choppy sprites they made for HDR. How do you Fuck that up? All they had to do was trace the goddamn sprites. UDON=FAIL :mad:

What? The sprites are awesome. The animation sucks and that's to keep the same gameplay of a years old game.

Then go have it.

Just tried playing it at work on my iPhone. Fucking impossible :D

Rainbow SF2 was the first SF2 I played.

I thought it was just the limitations of the C64 I had at the time which made it more tame :(

Khuntry has a blood hatred for UDON. They are Nazis to him.

Rumor: Marvel vs Capcom 2 Re-release Coming Soon

March 20, 2009 | 4:32 PM PST

by: Matt Furtado

http://www.kombo.com/images/content/...nouncement.gifWe've been waiting for an official confirmation out of Capcom regarding a downloadable version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for a long time. Finally, there seems to be some light at the end of a long tunnel. Though still a rumor, new evidence is suggesting that we may see Marvel vs Capcom 2 reappearing in the future.

Hint number 1:

• Marvel vs Capcom 2
• Game version: TBA, DC as fallback.
• Game Settings: Turbo 1, Damage 2, 2/3 Games
• You may not use any glitch that prevent the game from being played. This includes game freezing, game resetting, player freezing, etc.
• Deadbody infinites are allowed to gain a positional advantage, but not to delay the game.
• Winner must keep same starting character, but can switch the order of assists.
• Winner may not use the "Switch Glitch" to have a different starting character.
• You may not use the same character twice on one team.

Originally, the game was labeled as PS3 and Dreamcast.

Hint 2: Question:

Lol ok I'm dumb. Ok thought maybe you guys knew something we didn't.

Answer:

Oh we do.

Mr. Wizard heads up the Evo tournaments and has shared information on Street Fighter IV prior to the official announcement from Capcom. Are these vague hints simply implying we'll see a Marvel vs Capcom 2 announcement in the relative future? One can certainly hope so. Until then, this is a rumor.

...

If it did come out, what would you spend more time playing. SF4 or MvC2.

SF4, but there will be a 'hype period' for MvC2 that I will certainly ride for a time. But new games beat out re-releases in the long run.

I only have the bottom 8 left for the "Storied Reputatuin" achievement. I don't know how I'll beat Seth with Dan or El Fuerte.

I tried doing it with C.Viper a little while ago but I broke down crying.

You should get Golf Tee It Up.

If my Cammy and Ken appear to be beasts next time you play me, blame Khuntri.

I've been forced to apply radical nuances to my gameplay.

Got it. Wasn't as hard as I thought.

Lost 1000 points in an epic losing spree. Gonna cry now.

I lost 8-0 to Kalyx last night. I was just off the whole time as Kalyx could probably tell when I kept jumping into his attacks for some reason.

I know you were saying something between fights Kalyx but the music completely drowns you out. I only heard the most faint mumbles. Also, sorry for the bad connection. My connection has been fluctuating wildly the last few days. Some times everyone is "one bar" an hour later I'm getting excellent connections. Not just with the 360, the PC to.

Yeah the connection was poor, but still playable.

I was telling you to use less scripted patterns and read your opponent, not the character, the person you're playing against.

I took your advice and managed to win 8 ranked matches in a row. Got an acheivment for winning 5 matches in a row and managed to break through to just over 1000BP.

Akuma is still my boy. I can't be Fei Long for the life of me and it pisses me off. I don't know if it's his flying kicks motion or lack of jumping front kick but something makes me play horribly with him.

I'm trying real bad to get good with El Fuerte. I think I need to start spamming the shit out of his run though.

Also, when Gen switches styles, does he have a complete different move set? I haven't figured that out.

I dunno about gen's normals, but his specials change. I think his super and ultra remains the same tho.

I think I should use Vega more. Was getting owned by this guy, and then I picked vega, and not only beat him a few times in a row, but I got a perfect as well.

All of Gen's normals and specials change when he switches styles.

MARK YOUR FUCKING CALENDERS: WORLDWIDE SIMULTANEOUS RELEASE OF BLAZBLUE 6/25

Yeah, have none of you ever played the Alpha series? :wtf:

Not as Gen, that series had Guy FFS

Does no one ever at least try out characters that they aren't regular users of? I like to try everyone out first and see what can be done.

I would love to spend time playing others, but I feel like I have to spend an eternity getting good at one character to have any semblance of fun.

Nice. You'll soon find that people are pretty easy to read. Then you're new problem would be to get around bad match-ups and wacky priority traps.

Consider them marked.

Shit, I'm still jonsin for some Alpha 2 action. That game is damn near Street Fighter perfection.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Was finally able to take it to roxer today. Was even able to beat his akuma, although I had to break out my sagat to pull it off. Mad props to roxer, as I wouldn't be celebrating like this if he wasn't really good.

Strangly, I have become a fan of charge characters, who I was never very good with in the past. Always been more of a shoto-motion type guy. But my Vega, Bison, Balrog and Blanka are all pretty good, and my honda has become ridiculously tight. Havn't even touched guile or chun-li. I'll be working on them next after I improve my blanka and balrog, as they are kinda bare bones atm.

Also, definitely something up with my controller or something, cause I'm still having problems blocking sweeps, despite holding the stick down+back well before it even starts.

Funky could at least respond back when I messege him next time.

Anyway yeah, all 4 of us were online so I figures we could start a party and 2 could play the other 2 with the winners moving on BUT NO ONE RESPONDED. Let's try and do that tomorrow if possible.

ALso, Fignuts, there was still some lag but uh...whatever...:shifty:

Everything was fine for me until the akuma sagat match. First one was practically unplayable, but second one was manageable. Dunno. Guess the internet doesn't like people picking Sagat.

Are there no player rooms like HD Remix or something.
