My problems with skullgirls don't have anything to do with the anime art style and everything to do with the pantyshots. I'll still probably end up playing it since it looks fun but I just can't help but wonder why they felt the need to put those in. Especially so goddamn many. And KoFXIII looks like it's picking up some traction in the US already. Not a fuckton, but a little bit. We'll have to wait and see when it comes out, but it getting a decent scene going isn't an impossibility.

Because the dude who created the IP is your typical anime weirdo? Seems pretty obvious, idk. It's kind of disappointing that they're limiting their potential audience by doing this poo poo but what are you gonna do? The people driven enough to make a new IP sprite-based 2D fighter in 2011 are going to be weirdos with weird interests. Why else would there be so many anime little girl fighters?

Dias posted:So, anyway. KOF XIII. What are the chances that Americans will pick up that game? The series was popular as all hell here in Brazil and the rest of South America, but I feel like even at its apex, it wasn't all that popular in the USA. Am I right? If it becomes somewhat popular, you'll start seeing a lot more of South Americans at big majors, I'd wager. I just joined the club, but my local group picked up 2002 UM in anticipation of XIII. I think this one seems like it will be a bit more popular than the others.

I go there about once a week to play some GvG but there's almost always been at least one or two people on the kof cab each time I've been there.

Speaking of KoF XIII and how much rear end it kicks, check this video out: http://www.gameinformer.com/games/k...spx?PageIndex=2 Checkout 19:50 in particular. THIS, is how you do a color edit mode. E: For those who don't have patience or at work: The characters regions are separate, and you can assign colors individually to each one (e.g. hair, cap, pants color1, pants color2, etc...). However, you can't choose any color freely. You have preset colors, and you unlock more colors during the course of the game.

Not sure I'd call having to unlock colors the right way to do a color edit mode. Hopefully they aren't a pain to unlock. I'm still worried about the netcode, I guess nobody has had a chance to do a hands-on of that yet.

I really like learning and executing combos in fighting games and there's a lot of cool characters to learn combos for! I hope the online is decent, because there's barely a fighting game scene here, and the KoF scene is probably nonexistent.

What's going on when one character glows sort of whitish and it looks a bit like there's some Genei Jin stuff going on? Does every character have that, because I swear I've seen it twice now from different characters.

Nope but I've been planning on getting into it at Southtown arcade because I'm in SF a lot these days and I've been hearing about their Sunday tourneys. How long have you been playing? Have you ever been to SVGL or SJSU tournaments? We've probably met. I was friends with the old Marvel players back in the day like Chunksta, Cableguy and Anthoneezy.

I played for a bit a long time ago but I was away for college at the time and just started getting back into it this year in like March. I've met Chunksta a few times because I play at Hiro's every once in a while but I don't play marvel so I haven't played with him at all. I'm on the other side of 237 though so I go to MGL once or twice a week but that's about it. I've been going to gamecenter on Sundays since they have GvG for 25c per play from 3-6. It's way more fun than I expected it to be. I haven't checked out Southtown yet but I've been meaning to for a while. Probably going to try to get out there in the next few weeks. From what I've seen (just on the ipw streams), kof really seems to be hitting it off up there. I'm interested in seeing what happens when it comes out. Would like to see SVGL or MGL get cabs so I could check it out more easily but I think that's pretty unlikely. I'm sure I'll see you around though, I've been trying to get more active and start going to more local stuff. Went to streetwise for AE on Saturday and only like 10 people showed up so he didn't even bother putting on mvc and 3s, we just did a quick AE tourney and played some casuals. It was still fun though and I'll definitely be at the others and Tight or Fight.

Speaking of dumb fanservice, KoF is looking really good, yeah. I've always had a soft spot for the series no matter how dumb it got, so it actually becoming a legit game with an actual scene is a gift from god for me.

Does every character have that, because I swear I've seen it twice now from different characters. All it lets you do is cancel specials in to specials as long as its active, and cancel super>neo max. In practice you juggle whoever you are playing against too the corner and do like 500, 600 if you super by using it, and if you go to neo max from super most characters have 100% combos.

Cinroth posted:sf2feilong, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ultra shin grand master *Kakyoin j.C, throw* No bullshit, I spent 3 hours fighting that bastard the other night. I was like, "I literally just reinstalled GGPO for the first time in a year, I'm very much not good at the game, I'd like to learn, is that okay?" Cue 3 loving hours of Shadow Dio short hop crossup tick/wakeup throw 4-hit resets and mixups. I didn't even realize there was a crossup until fight 6 or so because his stand was obscuring my character (and I was too busy freaking out over the high-low mixup and then trying to tech throw mixups). I have never met a more unhelpful person in my life. The only advice he ever gave me was "pushblock the jab" at which point he baited my goddamn pushblock and killed me. Fucker.

sf2feilong is a professional salt miner and probably the number one reason why people on ggpo abandon their bizarre adventures with Jojo so quickly. Don't let him get to you and try playing some other more helpful people. Fayk can probably namedrop some cool dudes. I haven't played for awhile so I'm not sure who's active these days but some people I used to play were jedpossum, matt_ca or something I forget his name (hella salty guy) and gamegeezer who's a million times better than me but a cool dude. There's also the german shin-god level players like toki and ATG that hang out who might be more helpful. I played ATG a long time ago and while he bodied me repeatedly he was always able to answer any question I had. I would play Jojo more but laggy Jojo makes me saltier than any fighting game ever made, because it's sooo good without lag...

Chaos Code's console version was "announced" before the arcade version even released. They were stuck in publishing hell for a while so they started working on the home version in the mean time. It was mostly done a few months back, though that doesn't really say anything about when it will come out. The new patch is supposed to fix the assorted bugs that have been found, and make Celia II playable. Haven't heard anything about the infinite or the mechanics issues of the game. One thing is for sure and that's that there are too many fighting games coming out these days to keep up with. Let me see if I have them all... Arcade Releases: Daemon Bride 2(?)

Will it be buyable alone, or would I actually need to buy the Carnival Phantasm bluray?

Actually I recall one of the big problems being that whoever was doing the patches had no idea what they were doing, and as a result the game actually got more and more broken as time went on. I didn't play it a whole lot myself though so I don't have much first hand experience.

The PC version we're getting is 4 revisions along from the PS2 version. After the PS2 version we had MBAA ver.A, Current Code, Current Code 1.05, and we'll be getting 1.07. There's quite a lot of differences, and if you're intending to actually play the game with friends there's not much point to buying the PS2 version much like there's little point to buying SF4 or BBCT these days.
