Just as a warning to LINE users, active group chats can drain batteries fast. Considering you may not have much opportunity to charge, you might want to turn off the notifications and just manually open the app when you want to know what's going on. Of course, that risks you missing 'urgent' messages but it's still worth considering.

I replaced my HORI real arcade pro ex with a SF x Tekken pro cross. I got this for �59.99 from Argos online and considering at one point you were looking at 3 times that for any kind of TE it's a pretty good deal.

My other sticks have been a SF4 SE, and two HORIs so this is my first stick with sanwa buttons and they're great, almost too sensitive as I'm used to having to really push the button in whereas these will register as soon as you apply any pressure.
The stick unit is solid and heavy and the stick itself feels great, but again slightly different form my hrap, it feels a bit stiffer but not in a bad way. It will probably loosen up a bit after some use.
Its also plug and play for PC.

If any UK goons are looking for a new stick you probably won't get a better price for TEs and a lot of the EVO coupons aren't applicable to people outside the US.

Some League of Legends fans have gotten together and are working on a LoL-based fighting game using the pony game engine. Controls are going to be Smash-based with some being a single button press, though all specials will be on cooldowns. They also apparently plan to have MvC 1 style assists. As far as I can tell they haven't been given a cnd yet, and Riot may be cool with it as long as they don't charge any money, though time will tell. They only have 3 characters drawn and the trailer only has gameplay for one, but they say they want to have 4-5 by release. It could potentially be interesting, or it could just be a giant, steaming pile. Either way, it should be interesting to find out!

Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkOyG6iZueU

Website.

The gameplay and animation look really rigid, but that's to be expected from a fan game with like 5 people, and it could be a constraint of the engine. The mechanics seem like they could help get people into the game, with really simplified controls, and they've got pretty much the world's biggest fan base to pull interest from, but without knowing how it plays or how it feels to play it, there's not much that can be said.

Edit: vvvv I guess it's the old one. I don't know my engine names, they just said the one the pony game was using. It certainly looks like the old pony game.

So, fans of a game that goes out of its way to remove the last vestiges of input mastery from a game that was already WarCraft 3 for slow people decide to make a fighting game, a genre entirely defined by input mastery. This can only end well. :v:

With the way many of these fan fighting game projects go, it will never see release due to lost interest/dev team drama/C&D.

dragon enthusiast: Jan 1, 2010

Tekken Revolution is holding a poll to add completely brand new characters to the game. The descriptions for the choices are so stupid they wrap around to being amazing.

quote:

(1) Sexy Female Tekken Force Character

A gorgeous and sexy female Tekken Force member, she is loyal to the Mishima Zaibatsu, regardless of who is in charge. As such, she was not a part of the rebellion started by Lars.
The original concept was proposed for Tekken 5, but the clothing was too revealing and the concept was scrapped for fears the rating would increase. The concept surfaced again for Tekken 6 but did not make the final cut.
There were several martial arts mentioned for this character, including Silat, Krav Maga, Savate, Taekkyeon, Systema, and Escrima.
If chosen, the design may need be altered in order to pass the ratings boards.

(2) Syake/Salmon

Originally planned for Tekken 3, punch buttons would cause the Salmon to flop around, and the kick buttons would make it release eggs, which was quite an idea at the time. However, arcades were still popular worldwide, and charging 100 yen (1 USD) per play with such a character was likely to be a problem. That, and the fact that character would be always be the target of Kuma, lead to the concept being scrapped.
If the Tekken 3 arcade board is hacked, you will notice there is placeholder data with the character�s name remaining. This has been discovered by a few hardcore fans in the past (video is on Youtube) . If, for some unforeseen reason, this character is actually chosen, development may be quite difficult.

(3) Female Vampire (A young girl, long imprisoned by the Rochefort family)

A young female vampire that has been imprisoned in a wing of the Rochefort Estate, where Lili was raised.
She has a dark personality, but her gothic attire and uncanny beauty are mesmerizing. During development of Tekken 6, she was proposed as a character that used an actual martial art, but also with fireballs, like a 2D fighting game character.
However, aside from Harada, a strange phenomena occurred in which many members got married or gave birth to children around the same time. As a result, not many staff were left at work to complete the character, and she was discarded. The concept was salvaged again during Tekken 6 BR, but the same strange phenomena occurred again and Harada locked the concept away in a safe, wanting to keep it secured within the development team since it (she) seems to bring good fortune.

(4) Shin Kamiya

A classmate of Jin Kazama who appeared in the 3DCG movie Tekken Blood Vengeance.
The fact that his implementation would impact the main story line, that he died in the movie, and that he doesn�t know any martial arts, make him a difficult character to be included in the game.
There were ideas to make him appear in the game as he was before he died, and also to have him be reborn as an immortal type of character.

(5) Tougou

Fellow Tekken Force member and friend of Lars Alexandersson, he joined Lars in the coup against the Mishima Zaibatsu.
He appears in Scenario Campaign in Tekken 6. His fighting style is similar to Lars�, but he also uses the sword on his waist for certain attacks.
He could also call in air strikes via his radio. Since he died in the game, he was never implemented as a playable character.

(6) Zombie Bride

A zombie bride to be in a wedding dress.
The idea first came up around Tekken 3 as the first fighting zombie in a game. The idea resurfaced again for Tekken 6, as the sister of Miguel, who was called in an air strike and came back to life.
Since the fighting style for a zombie would be quite difficult to create, the idea was scrapped.

(7) Female Paul

For some inexplicable reason, Paul is transformed into a girl, but the appearance is of a very cute girl. The concept was thrown out in 2 seconds, as it was too off-the-wall.

(8) Giant Praying Matis

During development of Tekken 3, a bug caused the joints of a character to move backwards, and the character model was deformed. It looked like it would be a strong fighter, so there was an idea to actually implement it, but the idea was discarded for lack of development time. Like with Syake/Salmon, the Insect blank data can be found when the Tekken 3 arcade board is hacked. This was also found by some very hardcore fans, and video can be found on Youtube.

(9) Average, run-of-the-mill Old Man

You average old man, like the one you find in almost any neighborhood. He is not a martial artist, so he is pretty weak.
It was an idea mentioned early in the series, and thrown out the instant it was mentioned.

(10) GANMI-chan

A teenage female Sumo wrestler who idolizes Ganryu.
The original idea was proposed for Tag 2, but was discarded 5 seconds later in order to focus on increasing the popularity of Ganryu.
A character sketch was completed several years ago, and the result was of a cute character, like you would find in Idol Master.
