[Atlus8]

On my way home from work! I'll get crackin on this game once home! Looking forward to it!

 

[Rutger]

Completed arcade mode on normal with Ms. Fortune, not bad at all.

Final boss killed me once, then again after I killed it, still got the credits though. :/

Might do some other single player stuff, but maybe some netplay later tonight if anyone wants to play?


I'll try and unlock her extra colors. Ms. Fortune apparently got a Morrigan color, wouldn't it fit someone else better?

And did Cerebella lose her Potemkin color? That's sad.

 

[Lythium]

How do you unlock extra colours, Rutger?

Man, I kinda want to play Parasoul, but **** charge moves. I tried, can't really do it.

Probably go with solo Valentine.

 

[Lore]

You play story mode, I think.

Who wants to play? :3

 

[Minato]

I'll be busy for awhile so I won't be able to start getting into the game until Friday.
Game looks great and plays great as well from what little I've tried.

 

[Lore]

GG's, Rutger! I'm reallt starting to like Cerebella, haha, but I keep forgetting that I'm playing a grapple character. Lol.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I can't wait to play you guys.

We should make a Skullgirls thread and dump our gamer tags in there.

[Rutger]

GGs Werekill. You were really starting to give me trouble in the end there, I couldn't lame it out headless as well as I did in the beginning.


I guess you can't have a room for more than two people, that's unfortunate.

How do you unlock extra colours, Rutger?

Man, I kinda want to play Parasoul, but **** charge moves. I tried, can't really do it.

Probably go with solo Valentine.

I unlocked I believe the eighth color by playing through arcade mode, I don't know about others.

 

[Jam Stunna]

It's pretty lame that you have to go to the Skullgirls website for the command list. And of course the website is down, probably from so much activity.

 

[Lythium]

Ask, and you shall receive: http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Skullgirls

Thanks for the info, Rutger! :3c

 

[Minato]

Valentine and Peacock are the two characters I really want to use. Don't know who I'll use third or if I'll choose one. It might be Filia or Ms. Fortune.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Nice! Thanks Lythium/Rutger!

 

[Lythium]

No problem! :3

Man, I want combos. I'm trying to make up my own, and they suck... :<

 

[Rutger]

I need to work on hitconfirming.

I have a simple air combo into 236PP with solo Ms. Fortune for about 4.5k, but I bad at starting it. :/
I can add in the three HP rekkas for about 1k more damage, but I need to work on the timing.

I don't know what else I could get though, I could probably do better with a team but I really like playing solo.

I wonder how complex her combos might become when headless.


I unlocked the 7th color by completing story mode with Ms. F btw.

 

[Lore]

@Rutger: Ha, yeah, I was starting to get the hang of it a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to give a decent challenge soon. :3

@Lythium: Me too! Lol, I'm just using big hits and throws without worrying too much about combos yet.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm actually liking Cerebella too. Wish she was just a tiny bit faster, but she's fun for a grappler. Plus a running grab with armor?!

EDIT- oh snap she flies?!

 

[Smooth Criminal]

On my way home!

HYPE GET

My PS3 has no sound.

;_; wtf

It's pretty lame that you have to go to the Skullgirls website for the command list. And of course the website is down, probably from so much activity.

Wait...the game has no in-game command list? There's plenty of potentially decent things in the game, but when every fighter does that these days and the game has no booklet to have movelists in, you'd think including that would be a given.

 

[Shin Kaizoku]

Downloaded the game today, but haven't had time to get around to it. I'll probably be on on Friday. Looking forward to trying out Valentine and maybe Painwheel, but if not, solo Valentine.

 

[Atlus8]

Played for a bit and I thought not having a move list wouldn't bother me, it really does! Moves are on the website though, but still! Just messing with Double and Peacock! Haven't made up my mind on this game so I'm gonna need to play some more!

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Playing it. Loving it. Really bummed that I have no sound, though.

I think I'm going to stick with Painwheel. She's a lot of fun and I like her potential for resets.

They're a small team and they didn't have time to work in the menu before release(they wanted to focus on more important things) and they said that they will patch it in, so it's only temporary.

*sigh* It's not like I said it was the worst thing ever or that they were huge stupid scrubs who should be shot for doing it or something, lol.

 

[VietGeek]

clearly no movelists is a throwback to guilty gear

obv

 

[Matador]

Can't beat Arcade mode on Ridiculous without timing out Marie, lol. That third phase is beyond crazy... Maybe I should hop on the Peacock bandwagon and camp her ***.

Side note: Anybody here play Street Fighter 3rd Strike on PSN? Need more people to play.

 

[Minato]

I have 3rd Strike on PSN, but I haven't played it in awhile. Just let me know whenever you feel like playing.

 

[Atlus8]

Side note: Anybody here play Street Fighter 3rd Strike on PSN? Need more people to play.

Heck, yes! Didn't add you up on PSN from last time! Mine is Atlus8

 

[Matador]

Awesome. I'm on in like 5 minutes if either of you are online.

 

[Minato]

Awesome. I'm on in like 5 minutes if either of you are online.

I'll be on in a few minutes as well.

Edit: I am past my prime for this game. I knew had to counter those shenanigans from Atlus too.

 

[Matador]

I didn't and still don't, lmao. Definitely need to practice in this. Especially against Yun. Was doing trial and error a ton after my first like...6 loses.

But GGs Minato. You've got a better grasp of this game than I do. That much is certain, lol. I need to learn footsies instead of just jumping in over and over.

Atlussss, I want to play you morrrrre! My PS3 froze, lol. I was omw back.

 

[Atlus8]

I had plenty of fun guys! Haven't played this game in a while, but I almost never feel like I "lose" my touch with any game! I do get rusty, but almost everything just comes back when I'm playing! Also, a very bad habit I have with Yun is using the shoulder to activate Genei-Jin! I have played really good players that parry the shoulder and things are not pretty for me!

Edit - Definitely down to play another time!

Edit 2 - Matador, do you play Guilty Gear?! I'm gonna go down on that game, so I would like to play with people on here!

Just watch out for Yun Genei Jin resets. You can parry the oncoming the attack while you're still stuck in the air if he did a reset (neutral jump Fierce or whatever).
Also 1 2 3 shoulder is something Yun players will abuse if the opponent doesn't know how to counter it. Just red parry the shoulder. Last is that in 3S, blocking while crouching adds more block stun. So Yun is safe on block with EX Lunge if you're crouching.

Edit: I'm jealous Atlus. I lost my touch in a lot of games. Besides maybe SF2. I'm actually afraid of online for GGXXAC. It's already hard enough offline, and a couple frames of delay is going to feel weird.

You're the first good Yun I've played for an extended period of time. I gotta learn the ins and outs of the character before I can punish things like that, lol.

Guilty Gear is one of the few fighting games I'll always regret never getting into. Virtual Fighter is the other. Sorry Atlus T_T.

Ahhh, I see. I'll have to give that a try then. I saw you start to parry one of the resets a couple times, so I ended up mimicing that in a later fight after you left. I never knew about blocking while crouching adding block stun, but it makes sense now that I think about it.

When it comes down to it, I just have to play more in general. I love 3S.

Oh man, the online for GG could be a problem especially when FRCing in that game is so strict! However, I've heard good things of the online for BlazBlue, so I'm confident Aksys will pull through!

But yeah, that's kind of why I called it shenanigans earlier. Yun can get away with so much, which is why Atlus really doesn't have to shuffle his strategy until the opponent learns how to deal with stuff like dive kick pressure. As a side note, taking damage while crouching does more damage to discourage mashing down parry.

Oh man, the online for GG could be a problem especially when FRCing in that game is so strict! However, I've heard good things of the online for BlazBlue, so I'm confident Aksys will pull through!

It's hard to say. I honestly think BB's is so good because of the buffering. You can hold down an input and it'll input the command for a max of five frames so it's like easy mode plinking on every direction and button.

Oh well, it's gonna be fun regardless.

 

[UltiMario]

Some other Smashboards people and I have been working on this project for the past 8 months, and it's finally ready for release. Read, download, enjoy.

Battle Capacity Minus Combo Video and Preview

Direct Download link to Battle Capacity Minus (Requires 7-zip, working on a .zip download)

(From the description) "Battle Capacity is a free, indie fighter made by Ivan Boivin, known by others as Cartoons! Riddle and I, UltiMario, however, took the game after it became a final product and with (eventual) permission, created a next version of the game titled Battle Capacity Minus, or BatCAP- for short. While this version brings no new characters to the table, it cranks the game up a notch, and in the process, remakes every character and improves upon their old incarnations. While the older versions of Battle Capacity play at a Street Fighter IV like pace, BatCAP- could closer be compared to games like the King of Fighters series."

CRASHiC took the game to Civil War 4 recently, both the vanilla and Minus versions. Their performances were both great, but Minus was the day we were getting lines longer than Skullgirls to play friendlies. We feel that this was a huge accomplishment with the game's quality and fun-ness of playing.

So if you wish, support and download the game. It's free, obviously. I'll always be on skype (ultima_mario for those who don't have it) if you want to play some games.

So... seems like GGXXAC is getting some rebalancing...?

[Lythium]

Hyyyyyyyyyype.

I wonder what this means for the future of GG?

 

[Rutger]

Wait a minute...

*turns on GGXXAC+*

Is that EX Chipp?

No! EX Chipp's Gamma Blade doesn't hold enemies!

Well I guess it can still be a maybe. :/
But then that would mean that EX characters are legal if they are showing them of in a PV for the arcade. /speculation :3

So there is no Gulty Gear thread after the thread purge a while back. I'd be will to make one and go all out explaining game mechanics and things like I did with P4A if you all want.

Though activity in it will no doubt be low until GGXXACPR comes out.
