Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[jamlosingthegame]

lol Ussi. All this talk of Angel Beats! and the anime club screens it here.

 

[Ussi]

I wish i had an anime club :|

 

[Zatchiel]

I have anime club today, actually. I only go to hang out with friends that seldom discuss pertinent topics, and throw on some favored anime once in a while. I don't mind those days, as I normally just relax and go nonchalant.
Incidentally, Autumn Break is hastily approaching. Hype. What are you all planning to do for your breaks? (provided this pertains to you)

[Ussi]

Study for a Molecular Biology test that is on the Monday after -_-;

that and buy manga/anime on black friday

 

[san.]

Buying a 3DS during the Target sale for $145, then I will buy Super Mario 3D land.

Have a test today in Signals and communications, after that I am free for a while.


Anyone interested in playing a game I am making for an intro class? It is in beta form right now, and it's the first time I am making a game.

Memeememmemmemememememememememme

As a game developer hopeful, I would definitely like to see this.

 

[san.]

It's still buggy in a few places, but the game has inspiration from megaman in terms of difficulty & music. Basically go fast to kill enemies and destroy obstacles, or else you die. It's pretty hard right now, but I kind of like it like that.

 

[Heartstring]

im also hoping to go into games design, so it would be good to take a look at a game in progress

lets take a look ^.^

 

[C.J.]

o_O
I wanna play San!

Depends, can it run on a Mac? Otherwise I'm out of luck on trying it...

I'm actually working on a text-based RPG at the moment, eventually going to add a GUI. It's nowhere near able to be tested though; it runs well enough but there's plenty of bugs and several more features I'd like to add.

 

[san.]

http://www.mediafire.com/?4lh77cgsz81bcv7 is it for now. First time hosting something, so a little afraid of other people getting this, but we barely have a few levels right now. There's much to improve.

 

[Ussi]

Sounds interesting, but I'm not free, not even during the break =_=

 

[Heartstring]

Well mr. Santiago, It doesn't want to load, the file youve given me appears to have everything, but the icon called 'Speedup - Shortcut' fails to load the game up and then says:

The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'speedup - Shortcut.lnk' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disc is properly inserted or the network resource is available, then try again

I have no idea's, but this is me running off an old computer on windows XP

 

[san.]

let me check. To find the actual exe, you need to go to game files -> speedup -> speedup -> bin -> x86 -> debug, lemme check


Yep, don't work on other computers, probably because of visual studio or XNA requirement lol

 

[Heartstring]

yeah, sorry about that. i look forward to actually testing it out when it works on ****ty computers XD

You can buy the 3DS + Mario 3D Land for 180 as a bundle. Though it's the red 3DS if you're into aesthetics.

 

[Nysyarc]

To find the actual exe

Dang, no play-testing it for me then... I really should partition my laptop and install Windows on it for things like that.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Or mess around with wine/wineskin/the like to get it to work.

 

[Rykoshet]

I totally won that tournament, yeeeaaahhhh!

I got a 30 dollar gift cert to play n trade and a 25 dollar cert to a restaurant. Big money.

 

[Ussi]

Lol what a bunch of scrubs, they can't even take out an old man in a video game.

 

[Rykoshet]

I know, right? I'm surprised my adult diaper held through the bracket.

 

[XLR8TION]

looool ryko.

 

[Ussi]

How does one be mobile with Ike? I'm trying to up my mobility game since mobility is a problem i have.

 

[Fuujin]

Play Fire Emblem

 

[Nysyarc]

How does one be mobile with Ike? I'm trying to up my mobility game since mobility is a problem i have.

Not sure exactly what you mean. Although if you mean like, fluid and quick movement around the stage, I find that smart and careful use of Quick Draw is very helpful. Use it immediately after hitting an opponent away, use it after a full hop onto platforms or after a short hop to auto-cancel it on the main stage. Only use Nair, Bair and Jab unless a very specific situation calls for another move... and don't roll, ever.

Mobility is great and all, but unless you can combine it with good spacing, reads and etc... it'll just end up being flashy and otherwise pointless.

 

[theeboredone]

Do the Red-X thing...

Red: -Pretend to approach opponent by doing multiple empty hops, making yourself look quick.-
Me: -Poker face...f-smash-

But yeah, empty hops, fast falling off of platforms, QD. I'm telling you, people don't expect us to pull QD out of our ***. It's a free 10 damage, gets the opponent in the air long enough for you to recover and apply pressure. Definitely one of the best "pull out of my ***" moves for Ike.

 

[Ussi]

I tend to get punished for empty hopping @_@ I need to be so less obvious about it...

I wonder.. How does FF Bair work as shield pressure?

Also, pretending to play like a scrubs so works at times -_- that it makes me not like brawl...

 

[san.]

Bair is sometimes okay to use on landing. You have to time it well and you don't always have the chance to use it because the opponent could powershield.

Sorry about the game. I actually configured it so anyone could play it recently, but it involves moving a folder to an obscure folder in your My Documents Folder lol

 

[Fuujin]

Y no one laugh at my joke???

 

[Ussi]

Because fire emblem is a turn based game so mobility has nothing to do with it besides mounted/transformed units moving 2 more spaces than foot units minus knights/generals who move 1 space less.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

What Ussi meant to say was that it wasn't funny. But he likes to beat around the bush.

 

[theeboredone]

Because it was garbage.

Buuut Ike actually has pretty good speed stats in Fire Emblem.
So I was like "go play fire emblem"
Cause hes faster in that than in brawl

Get it???

 

[Zatchiel]

It's actually pretty confusing and a poor attempt at satire in the eyes of those who have never played Fire Emblem, the latter for those who have. I really just skimmed it since I had zero comprehension of it's meaning, even remotely.

Also, hello Fuujin. <3

Edit: Nyke, what console do you use to play MW3?

[Nysyarc]

XBox 360. Haven't had much time to play it recently though, school and preparing for a smash tourney this weekend.

Nope..

Speed and mobility are completely different stats in Fire Emblem.

Sorry, bud. Maybe next time you can make a funny joke.

 

[Nysyarc]

Because fire emblem is a turn based game blah blah blah

What Ussi meant to say was that it wasn't funny.

Because it was garbage.

I love the progression of bluntness here.

That's also clearly your problem Ussi; the Inverse Sympathy Law indicates a lack of skill after plugging in your level of sympathy for his bad joke.

 

[Fuujin]

Ike users just have no sense of humor.

hay

All I did was explain why no one laughed. I didn't show any remorse o.o;; as I didn't really say anything encouraging...

 

[Sky Pirate]

Ike users just have no sense of humor.

Perhaps something like "give him some boots", "promote him again", or even linking to something random containing the words "mobility" and "Ike" would have gone over better.
"Play Fire Emblem" seems kind of lazy.

HAI IKE MAINS! Any of you talk to YagamiLight in the past year?
