[Berserker Swordsman]

Was there a Survival in MvC2? I don't think there was....With such a smaller cast in this game, I don't even see the point.

And Score Attack was more or less Time Attack in that game, but I'm guessing MvC3 doesn't have that either?

And I love how they went from unlocking like 20+ (probably much more than that, but I don't remember) to just 4. Balance much?

 

[Ussi]

no more unlocking, now you must buy new characters

 

[Goldenadept]

i'm still not sure if i want it

hyperdimension neptune comes out the same day =/
Jrpg or fighter? hrmmmm

and yeah, no megaman isnt cool

 

[Palpi]

Berzerker Swordsman? What year at pennstate are you?

 

[san.]

@ Ussi

To answer a previous question, I think the difference b/w fastfall and non-fastfall nair is mainy because of the distance between fast-fall landing lag and normal-fall landing lag in general.

 

[Ussi]

didnt know that affected aerials too.. thought that was just landing without doing anything/AD

 

[san.]

Maybe. I have nothing that can help me tell frame by frame.

 

[Ussi]

I'll test it for you san, i got frame by frame mode.

 

[-RedX-]

The only difference I see between non-fast falled and fast falled aerials is the distance when retreating/moving forward. Makes sense since you have more time to move in the air if you aren't touching the ground as soon as you would with fast falling. Fast falling aerials shouldn't change the amount of lag on landing.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Berzerker Swordsman? What year at pennstate are you?

? Second year. Why do you ask?

 

[Teh Brettster]

So, since my old SD card fried a long while back, I got a new one recently. I put some codes on it, but when I go into the Homebrew channel, nothing happens. Anybody got a diagnosis?

 

[Ussi]

I use stack smash :s i got nothing to tell you

All i can ask is relative is, do you have all the files? the text file and such

 

[disasterABDUL]

lol bonus points for being in the basement XD

even more bonus points for no one ever coming down to bother you while in the basement XD

When i was in the basement, i was text'd usually... still am for dinner

 

[theeboredone]

Parents still go old school by yelling upstairs when it's time for dinner.

 

[san.]

My dad barely knows how to use a cellphone.

 

[theeboredone]

My dad barely knows how to use a cellphone.

Our family recently upgraded our phones, and both mom and dad got touch screen phones. Amazing how my mom has an easier time using that then an old phone. She's actually texting now...

San, you said you liked Lupe Fiasco right? Have you listened to his new song? The Show Goes On? He sampled Modest Mouse's Float On.

[jamlosingthegame]

Float On is a nice song to listen to when you're feeling down.

 

[Ussi]

both my parents love their iphonez

 

[theeboredone]

Iphone4 is garbage. And there are rumors circulating the next Iphone will not be 5, but 4GS. Also, there are plenty of rumors on a Iphone Nano.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Lupe Fiasco is the only "rap" (today's definition as opposed to Rhythmic African Percussion) that I have ever remotely enjoyed.
He doesn't like being called a rapper, though, which I like, because he distances himself from the crap.

 

[theeboredone]

He's actually not signed to any record label. I'm not gonna go into much detail about it, but he's a believer of the Illuminati, free masons, and such. I remember posting the series about the Music Industry being corrupted, and I guess he believes that stuff, hence why he makes his own music.

Lupe also has a rock band lol.

Edit: Side note, anyone find it funny how all these main stream scrubs found it awful that Arcade Fire won Best Album vs Lady Gaga and Eminem?

http://whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/

 

[Teh Brettster]

Yup.

I hate today's music industry. I hate it pretty hard.
And I hate most of today's audiences for classical music and how performing music isn't a very special thing anymore. I had a long talk about stuff like this with my piano teacher today (yesterday).

Music is dying. More people are getting into the "music" industry and killing music. And that goes for professional pianists and stuff as well.

 

[theeboredone]

Can't say much about classical music, but I do agree on the main stream. Kinda sad how 10 years ago, you would hear Hoobastank, Incubus, and Weezer on Kiss FM. Now it's Kesha, Gaga, and some other garbage. I don't mind Gaga as much because she can sing, but she's a total attention *****.

Only main stream artists I have respect for are Eminem, Kanye, and Jay-Z. Rock bands in general are not underground, but not main stream either...

Also, I do wonder what makes an album worthy of grammy nomination? Is it the critics? Fan perception? Kinda weird how Arcade Fire was there lol...then you look at Kanye's album which as a score of a 94/100 on Metacritic and it was not mentioned as a consideration for best rap album.

Edit: Show Goes On feels like a decent song for a credits section in a montage. I intend to bring back lyrical songs to montages.

 

[Goldenadept]

but hoobastank and weezer arent that good anyways, whats your point?

incubus was cool for a bit though, the singer always scared me =/

only music i really listen to nowadays aside from soundscape and instrumentals is electronic/indietronic/synth pop :3
i like my music sounding heavily altered and bleepy bloopy
probably why i listen to owl city/shiny toy guns/LiGHTS/ and other such bands

 

[Heartstring]

ive had my faith restored in englands main stream crowd after my last tournament
walking home from the event i went past a london club blasting out rick astley at about 1am XD
no but really, k$sha needs to dissapear or something, limp bizkit needs to whack the music out again and linkin park need to stop being ****ies and go back 10 years XD

 

[Teh Brettster]

Queen. Muse. Very few other things.

 

[Ussi]

this is why i just listen to touhou music

I can understand your point on Hoobastank, cause they can be generic, but Weezer for sure is definitely good. And I'm not saying it because I like them. In fact, I don't even have more than one of their albums. The rest I've heard through radio or here and there. Even the critics acknowledge how good they are.

 

[Heartstring]

Queen. Muse. Very few other things.

yes and yes

apocalyptica needs more hype too

 

[theeboredone]

Only thing I don't like about Muse is that the lead singer sounds like he's drunk all the time, which in turn means his words aren't very coherent.

 

[Goldenadept]

muse are pretty awesome but yeah, the singer is hard to understand sometimes lol xD

here's some happy unmanly music for you ikes :D

 

[disasterABDUL]

anyone getting marvel vs capcom on the ps3 tonight or tomorrow?

i wanna play with some peeps

picking up my copy tomorrow

 

[Goldenadept]

hurrah :D
i'm so bad at fighting games but thats cool :<

 

[disasterABDUL]

i'm probably gonna spend a week or so trying to unlock characters and get a good feel for the game before I think of going online.

 

[Goldenadept]

there's only 4 unlockable characters, you just play the arcade mode 4 times to get them

kinda sucks that they took that part out

there's more characters coming in DLC though, like jill valentine

 

[theeboredone]

Such a shame gaming companies are taking this DLC crap this far. Now we have to pay for more characters, when we're already investing 60 bucks into the game.

 

[Ussi]

its on the rage... look at how black ops pulls in the revenue with map packs

yeah, and shuma gorath. apparently they're releasing 2 each month. its so dumb, they hyped the two dlc characters like they were coming out with the game, then last minute go "oh they come out next month"

Such a shame gaming companies are taking this DLC crap this far. Now we have to pay for more characters, when we're already investing 60 bucks into the game.

if you put in an extra 10 you get the first 2 dlc characters along with comics for the game's storyline.

why they gave such a game a storyline? i'll never know
apparently MvC2 had a story also, Ruby heart was created as the character who gets everyone together on her ship(i'm gonna take ya for a ride)

and amingo was there to save his plants or something

 

[Ussi]

DLC characters sound dumb though..

They might make those said characters more stronger than the original JUST so they get sold. ... You know what, Eff this game, i'm not buying it soon anymore. I'll wait till DLC is deemed not broken.. last thing I need is another game with another metaknight, but this time its making money for the company
