It's a really good thing that it's being uploaded everywhere, because nobody should miss those Marvel games. The whole thing was really solid, like Yipes' comebacks against PR Rog, the whole Raccoonstravaganza, and the hilarious fights between newbie PZ Mihe and Kusoru. It was all good, really.

To be perfectly honest, watching PZ Mihe/Meruru/Sam's Club do his thing has really lit a fire under my rear end in regards to my own Zero play. He's just so much fun to watch, and wait for him to get THE hit in, at which point it's all over for a character. That match vs Chris G was amazing, and I'm so glad he got fourth.

That's a possibility, but if I were at a tournament and I was playing against some Japanese dude who was doing hand gestures distinctive to an American cartoon character or American pop star I would probably mock him.

Yoiu're probably right though.

I don't think the analogy entirely works, and also Kusoru is generally a nice guy so I can't imagine he would openly mock someone like that.

There was also a part of his match with Mihe where he got really happy/excited that Mihe was changing the voices to Japanese, it was super kawaii :shobon:

That reminds me, I gained respect for PR Rog when he didn't get salty at all even after losing in the grand finals in such a weird and embarassing fashion. He was a really good sport about it.

I've played Viewtiful Joe for a while and messed around with that team for a few minutes last night. I thought I remembered Kusoru getting 2 hits in before the launch, which I think were s.H c.H, but it seemed easier to confirm when I was messing around with just dash, c.H S, the c.H slides on its own and helps out a little. Either way it's not exactly as easy as he makes it look.

Also, I'm not sure about the HSD and other properties of pendulum assist, but I'm pretty sure there is a more damaging combo that Joe can do rather than sj MMH dj MMH dj MMH AirJoe M AirJoe H Six Machine, but that one might build the most meter.

Funny, I lost respect for him when he hugged Mihe from the front, then went around to his back, pointed at him to the camera, and then air humped his head. I get ridiculously salty when I lose, too, but honestly, that's just juvenile.

I did think it was hilarious how Kusoru literally forgot to ask for a handshake and PR Rog was just sitting there getting jostled by enthusiastic Japanese dudes until Kusoru remembered, though.

He attempted to hug him and Mihe just sat there and basically ignored him. PR Rog attempted to be a good sport and when you've just got blown up on a big stage and somebody does what amounts to ignoring your handshake at the end it's not surprising he popped off after.

Did anyone see Gary with Glasses vs Chris G on the FunkyP stream? Gary with Glasses almost knocked Chris into losers. If not for a couple dropped combos and needing to improve his Sentinel a bit, Gary would have done it. The thing that allowed Gary a chance was that Hulk's Gamma Charge does not give a gently caress about how many Soul Fists Morrigan can put on screen.

One other thing Gary's Hulk does that's nice is he does a great job hitting people with s.H any time they go for an overhead.

If you're the type that likes dressing up your fighting game pixels, the complete Costume Pack is out (at least on the Xbox Marketplace). Includes costumes for everyone except Jill, Shuma-Gorath (You get theirs with the purchase of the character, if I recall) and Magneto. 1600 Microsoft funnibux, translates to $20.

I'm guessing that between the combination of the costume needing to be offered up as a separate download and the fact that the team has probably moved on to either a next version or another project entirely, the development costs would far outweigh any revenue and goodwill they'd get by having a swagneto replacement.

Sure, they could probably crank it out in a couple days of modeling and testing, but you'd be pulling an artist, programmer, and tester off of something else, and you still have to discuss the alt with Marvel, set up the DLC with Microsoft and Sony, etc.

Aren't all of the costumes on disc? They could just patch the DLC to unlock that costume if they wanted to put it in. That'd be simple enough. But yeah, they probably won't make a replacement costume.

I love how they made a big deal about how the Magneto costume wouldn't be available, but its still just hanging out in the game, easy to select with that cheater method.

If it was that much of a problem, why is it still in the game at all?

The problem (and it's the same problem Marvel had when they used it for their comic in 2005, so who knows why Capcom picked it other than that it looks awesome) is that the outfit is nearly identical the king of Spain's military uniform. Not exactly the kind of thing you want to see on a fictional genocidal maniac.

It's probably on the disc with all the other alt costumes. Doing that just makes things easier.

I worded that improperly. It didn't look to me like Mihe refused Rog's hug at all, but I gave it a second look at yeah, he does seem to kinda ward him off.

I still think it's juvenile, considering how Rog himself can get salty as hell when he loses and has refused even post-game handshakes (which Mihe did accept) when he feels he lost to something he shouldn't have lost to... like level 3 X-Factor Wesker.
