I just keep getting a Snake vibe from Jecht. Probably because of facial hair and voice...and possible broken-ness.
Really? I keep getting an MK vibe from him because he's one of a few characters who can get away with playing really aggressively. Also he has few bad matchups that I know of (ExDeath?). In fact, ExDeath seems to be more like Snake to me since he has a hard counter in Gabranth whereas Snake has a similarly difficult matchup in Dedede (he used to anyway, now it's a lot closer to even at high levels of play). I think it may end up being a rock-paper-scissors thing between those three where ExDeath beats Jecht, Gabranth beats ExDeath, and Jecht beats Gabranth.

Exdeath seems like the broken one with his defense and tasty arrows. :p
Arrows? You mean his spells?

Real men use items post twice in a row.

Anyway, there have been a few scattered versions of the English version going around on various sites (mostly IGN but also Gamespot) and this guy is taking them to youtube.

Some of the voice acting makes me really cringe (especially Terra, I was so on the fence about playing her that my decision was basically going to come down to how her voice actress was...sad I know but I've seen her playstyle and I don't think it would be for me), but some I like.

This game comes out in 6 weeks guys, where's the hype?

I guess a lot of people don't even know about it, or even have a PSP. I don't, but I'm excited like hell.

I'd probably get it after its release. I finally got some decent income, so I am feeling pretty good about myself.

I am hearing a lot about Cecil and Terra. I think Cecil's switch EX mode is pretty cool.

True, plus there's like 9 characters with Infinites in this game.

The game suffers from lag even when you are sitting right next to your opponent. Also on some of the stages, the camera angles can become nightmarish.

It is fun for awhile but after the initial fan service wears off you are left with a very lacking fighter.

Cloud's moves lack the flash of other characters, yeah. But then it's how you use the moves that Cloud has to begin with that count if you wanna use him. Same goes for every character though, probably. S'about being the smarter player in a fight.

I want to say that I've at least competed in a Dissidia tournament somewhere and won it. Lmao Oh well. I have Brawl anyway.

I play multiplayer with freinds and no lag whatsoever

right, I've been playing Dissidia less and less now, and I've had this game for almost 6 months now, I've been ignoring my PSP lately

I have heard that the English version is shaping out to be even more imbalanced than the original.

We won't know that for sure until people start finding infinites.

The voice acting is cheasy, but I love it to death.
alot of games have that nowadays. I find the Conduit to have the cheesiest ive seen in a while. Ford talks like a douchebag. Anyway some guys were discussing how certain characters movesets were pretty lame. I thought you could customize the characters to suit your style.

You can customize them but each character still only has a set movepool. You can only equip 3 Brave attacks for ground and 3 for air and 3 HP attacks for ground and 3 for air (and some moves can be used in both ground and air). For example, Cloud only has 3 air brave attacks as opposed to 7 ground brave attacks and he only has 3 HP attacks total, so there's not as much customization for him as you'd think since many stages in this game are aerial. Heck, Cloud of Darkness only has 1 Brave attack for ground and 1 for air, and Jecht only has 2 attacks in each category.

tl;dr - You can customize them but the options are not as diverse as you think they are.

ah. well cant wait for the game to come out. the only thing I dont like is the way they summon. the whole card thing is a downgrade from every other final fantasy to me. So will this game have infrastructure and game sharing capabilities.

huh? no card summons, you can customize what summon you want to use once you get it in story mode and use it with R+O

CG cutscenes for summons would be kinda cool but it would take forever to use in a match.

So have you all been enjoying the demo? I haven't since I don't have a PSP. D:

Someone should make a group for AD-HOC and Xlink Kai IDs for all of us.

Kefka is absolutely hilarious in this game. Dave Wittenberg plays him very well, while others not so much. lol

A friend of mine is absolutely obsessed with this game. Me, I think it's cool seeing my favorite characters in action, but there's no way I'm buying it. For one, I'd have to get a PSP too, second, I'd be absolutely horrible at it and third, the game kinda made me squeamish for awhile. I'm still rebounding from that.

Anyway, it looks awesome. My friend would freak (and not in a good way) if he knew about those infinites. He doesn't like Smashboards in general, and it looks like he wouldn't like it any more if I mentioned the infinites.

I still don't believe it's him and I probably won't until I see the game's credits.

I believe it is. Dave Wittenberg played a main NPC in the Xenosaga series. Sounds very similar to Kefka's part, minus the maniacal tone.

I tried looking up the voice actor for kefka, but Square Enix's website told me nothing and wikipedia doesn't know, we'll just have to wait

Final Fantasy Wikia hasn't even updated that Steve Burton and George Newbern do the voices of Cloud and Sephiroth for Dissidia. When it's OBVIOUSLY them. They're just behind and not on the ball. We just HAVE to know somewhere or something.
