I'm really curious to see how Marie plays. Double, too.

Mostly because I don't want to be Peacock player number 5001.

Pretty sure those are [mini-]bosses. Join the Cerebella and Umbrella army. If you ain't got two L's and an A at the end of your name then you ain't poo poo.

Mini-bosses can still be playable!

Also I will only play Umbrella if she at least three of Amingo's moves. Don't ask me why she reminds me of Amingo, I don't know either.

This is a great MB match, showcasing F-PCiel, who is currently Yun-levels of broken but getting the nerfbat soon, VS C-Roa, who was total trash in previous versions of the game and is still something of an unknown.

As far as I've seen, it's not F-PCiel that's hilariously broken, it's C-PCiel. That loving electro bolt normal gives ridiculously stupid oki.

I'll probably end up using C-PCiel, because holy drat does she look fun. She just needs a bit of nerfing, because that poo poo is sick.

It's also Squigly with 1 g and Bloody Marie(unless they dropped the Bloody recently).

Marie has a skeleton vacuum cleaner. She better be playable eventually.

The character designs in this game go from incredibly original straight to boring as gently caress with seemingly nothing in between.

That sounds pretty odd. You're going to have to open it and check the stick and the switches.

- See if the the spring is set correctly. If it has double spring mod perhaps take out one and see if that helps.
- Open up the micro switch box and see if it has the sticky mod. Otherwise, just check out the switches to make sure they are not sticking.

Here are the mods that could have been made.

Easy fix- buy a new stick for your box. They'll set you back around 3 :10bux:.

Thanks for the info, I wondered if it would be a stuck thingamajig or some dirt somewhere, and worst case it looks like joysticks are pretty painless to replace. Could it also be just messed up from someone previously jamming on the stick too hard so it loses contact or something at full right?

Well if you bought the stick second hand, yeah, someone could have broken it. If it's brand new make madcatz replace it. (I didn't see if you said where you got it)

Otherwise the sticks are cheap to replace and involve one quick disconnect plug and some screws.

Could be the switch on that side of the stick is bent too. Open er' up.

I don't know jack about CC but I'm having a little difficulty seeing why they put a character into this game with both a beam that leads to safe meterless pressure and an EX DP that's safe on whiff and leaves you out of the corner

The DP isn't that bad because it has no invincibility at all on startup, but what's particularly infuriating about the bolt is that it persists even if pciel gets hit. Presumably they're going to fix something in the next patch.

Havn't played 1.05 but in the PS2 release Kohaku's unblockable bomb reset was the dumbest thing. If you didn't have a reversal(and guessed right) or burst ready you died. What I'm saying is melty has tons of broke stuff. 1 frame full screen reversal super that combos on hit. EX DPs that are plus on block and really hard to punish on whiff. At least P-ciels reversal looks parryable Red arc's was/is a blockable command throw reversal that was +3 on block and dashed across 2/3 the screen and you couldn't parry it. Did I mention you could combo off of it?

This reminds me: I got to try out the new SxT TE Pro the other night, and it sucked. The red plastic makes it look like a toy, and the housing is mostly hollow plastic (as opposed to the regular TE's thicker plastic with a steel top) so it feels like a toy. It's too light, feels cheaper and brittle, and I have no idea why Madcatz would make something like that after the genius of the TE.

The SFxT Fightstick PRO is not a "TE" and it will not replace the TE series at all. If you prefer MadCatz TE sticks then you don't have anything to worry about.

They will keep making TE sticks and that includes revisions, new colors, etc. :)

^^^^ He's a character in several Kirby games. Most notably in the minigame Revenge of Metaknight (which was awesome) in the SNES Kirby Super Star or All Stars or whatever it was called.

In the year 2011, scientistsSmash players have finally managed to quantify fun. I must know what the average fun and standard fun deviation are for a Ryu vs. Bison match in every iteration of SF containing both characters.

That being said, as I understand Metaknight is fun neither to play nor to watch in a competitive setting, but Smash isn't competitive to begin with, so :toot:.

~As for dreams, she has enough and more to spare~
A player can improve the amount of fun he scores by switching to Meta Knight in any of the cells where he isn't playing Meta Knight already, so if everyone is playing to win and everyone is rational about getting there, they'll always pick Meta knight, even though they would actually all have more total fun if they did not pick Meta Knight.
