@DSM/DMI/515: Looks like Ames people will come up there today instead of Thursday. There is a statistics conference going on Thursday that I want to addend.

@Everyone Going to Cedar Rapids: You guys are going to make that 3 hours drive back to DSM that night after the tourney or are people being housed somewhere?

A good question... if an eastern iowan wanted to house, personally I probably wouldn't object.

 

[PortCity]

Yeah, I'm trying to see if I can go and if there are some arrangements for sleeping then that makes the deal that much sweeter. Cause it looks like "if" I go, I'm not gonna be able to start a 3 hour drive at 12 or 1 in the morning.

 

[BOLT08]

Dude I ****ing loved blitzball. I played so much of that game when you could recruit people. Didn't use Tidus or Wakka though, they were crap.

Edit: Joker do you intentionally wait for the last post of every page? I swear that you +1 every page of this thread.

Ditto. I played the sh*t outta blitzball. My team was soo good, I used Tidus but only for the Jecht shot. I eventually got a Ronzo, a couple of the dudes with weird glasses. Eventually it got to the point where off of the toss up I could stop and shoot and make it everytime.

 

[gantrain05]

i wish there was a way to 1v1 blitzball, i'd let u shoot on my Miyu all day long, you'll never score.

 

[Soran]

I should really fnish FFVIII then....
I got past the SEED exams and now.. I'm just chilling.
That shit was hard! The boss before you fight the

Spoiler

Giant robo-spider

was so hard... but my most recent attempt made it a cake walk for some reason.. I don't even think I did much training for it. It was about 6 months after I got stuck did I go back and complete it. I just got bored after that.

Nearing pg. 1600!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gamegenie222]

The giant robot spider was easy my problem is messing myself up with rushing through the game and not getting some of the best weapons and juctions and GF WHILE FIGHTING THAT ****** SORCERESS ADEL.

 

[~GregDang!~]

Final Fantasy VIII is a Mexican thing.

If you're driving from Ames, just take HWY 30 all the way to Cedar Rapids, it's just under 2 hours, not bad at all.

As far as I know, no one around here can house. Plus, we're all pretty free aside from Yink. It should be worth the trip.

 

[Trent]

Phoenix Wright is rumored to be DLC for MvC3. It's from the same source that rumored Hagar, Sentinel, and other confirmed characters.

Get hype.

 

[Mushroomring]

I just want X. I dont plan on playing this game much if at all, but X would be sweet.

 

[PortCity]

@NGamer: I am gonna try to make it. And it isn't about getting money out of people so I don't care if people are free or not. I just want the Iowa crew (East Iowa included :-) ) to get better that's all.

 

[ngamer3k]

"Phoenix Wright is obviously a famous franchise - especially in Europe, actually. It would be interesting to see him, although he distinctively lacks the number of moves he might have [in a fighting game]. But if Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does well, he's definitely up on the list as one of the characters to add, given the chance." - MvC3 Producer Ryota Niitsuma

I'd say there's a high chance of it happening, but wouldn't put money on it or anything. And Mega Man in any form is definitely not happening.

"I assume you’re talking about the original Mega Man. There was a Mega Man slot for this game - we had room for a character from that series. But when it came to the propriety of that character being in a fighting game, Mega Man has some problems.

If we were to adapt the original Mega Man character into a fighting game he would have to have a lot more extra moves and abilities, and that would then create a different Mega Man entirely. You couldn’t retain his original character as he is. So we looked into other Mega Mans, and decided that Zero had the best list of moves already in existence when it comes to fitting into a fighting game."- Ryota Niitsuma

In other words, "We're lazy, I produced TvC *****es- Zero is in da game!"

 

[MegaRobMan]

They are saving Mega Man for Super Smash Brother Brawl FOUR for the DolphinKatana, the new Sega/Nintendo system they are co-making just for this game to come out.

 

[Gamegenie222]

So yeah Hsien-Ko and Sentinel are confirmed leaked for this game.

Now all we need is Deadpool to say for one of his victory quotes "Really? Another 10 more years of this Capcom?!"

 

[Uli]

i love ff8 :D

 

[Blank Mauser]

Hsien-ko looks ****ing bad compared to her Vsav original. Like why does she have so much start-up on everything and why is her airdash so slow? Tenreiha is the WORST offender. Like holy hell they turned one of the best overhead supers she had into a decent OTG ender. Whats the point of having an overhead super when they have an entire super flash to react?

Pendulum starts up too slow, gong looks super useful for like whatever reason, tele won't even fit anymore in this kind of game, command grab leaves them so far away, and her spikes are just randomly faster. I mean its hard to mess up simple characters like Morrigan and Felicia, but I doubt they knew what half of Hsien-ko's moves were for when they started work on her...

Even her remixed theme is boring.

 

[BPx]

Update: no go on the van, so I'm driving dustin/colin/dan I think.

 

[Gamegenie222]

I hate her voice but she looks alright though.

 

[Blank Mauser]

Yo Greg message me on AIM sometime.

 

[Joker490Frozen]

Update: no go on the van, so I'm driving dustin/colin/dan I think.

Don't forget me about me >.0


EDIT: Also JLO since Greg is no longer driving we can't pick you up but I guess Sekou it's still going after 5:30 or so, so maybe you can talk to him about it o.0

 

[ironhand]

Anyone seen the new Sentinel gameplay footage for MvC3? He looks just as OP as he was in MvC2. I don't even play MvC2 but the timing in MvC3 looks so easy in comparison. Pheonix's god mode also looks broke. I should definitely not play this game.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Phoenix is all about rushdown but her health is so bad it's worse than Strider so it balance it out.

 

[Trent]

Plus, she needs to die with Max meter to go Dark Phoenix. If your opponent has max meter and Phoenix is about to die, just hit her out and kill someone else.

 

[Jayford]

Sentinel, Storm, Chun. I am gonna lame all you kids out so hard >=D

 

[ngamer3k]

Ya'll will quit anyway. Except Jay of course. He can actually back his s*** up for once. LOL <3

 

[Jayford]

lol this is true for once :D

I have been playing MvC2 like every day loool

Also, I think they made Sentinel's FP 5 hit to make it add less hit stun to combos, but I feel like it's going to be more OP now because it'll just eat through like every possible projectile lmao

 

[PortCity]

@Trent: You tripping. Anyone with some sense is gonna play her last. The first 2 characters on a team will be for trapping damage / battery. When they get low they will stop using meter based moves and will fight straight up until death. Then by the time she comes in she WILL have max bars. So you WILL see dark pheonix ALOT. Or it might be worse if she has a really good assist. Then they will come up with a legit 2 assist team with a good point, maybe sentinal. Call her out like a regular match, and when she take too much damage stop calling her out, but still use the other assist. Then when they die, she is gonna be ready and waiting to die so you can enjoy Dark Pheonix mode the same way you did the round before that . I think using snap back and making her fight point is the only viable option to avoid seeing her, but that means you gonna have to snap her back at the start of the dang match

 

[Jayford]

I don't think DP is going to be that good imo. Saving 5 meters and maintaing control and keeping team members alive is pretty difficult. You basically can't DHC to switch in new members and it is a lot harder to punish/kill assists with out burning meter. So I mean sure if your whole team gets ***** and you get DP vs 2 or more people in another team. It will be hard to actually do anything. She is consistently losing health and if you catch her once in a bad position she'll probably die. The only real saving grace of making her viable as your last on point character is the ability to X-Factor with her. Also trying to snap back Phoenix when she is about to die probably won't be a viable option. They'll realize your trying for a snap back and just punish you hardcore for when you try it. Your probably better off just forcing the transformation and taking advantage of your meter advantage.

I dunno tho, this is all speculation and is based of my mvc2 knowledge.

 

[ngamer3k]

Yep, that's how she's going to be played, both with and against. However, I can't believe Jay is starting to convince me that Phoenix isn't all that great (but still F'n' good) within the strategy Sekou laid out. If you've watched any MvC3 vids, you know the chip damage from MvC2 is still there, especially with xfactor. You kill off phoenix like normal, she comes back. Now you just run away and chip her down.

All that being said, if someone truly masters Phoenix, that's a scary *** team.

 

[~GregDang!~]

Won't be in Cedar Rapids this weekend. Sorry. Money johns.

 

[Zephyros]

Hype for tomorrow, can't wait to play with you guys.

 

[gantrain05]

[Soran]

dang, everybody is lightning with their posts..

I love how I win and then lose to the best and then lose to QRS...
GGz all! *jump five*

Awesome event and QRS is a generous man that I appreciate ; )

p.s. LOL @Joker. Those people game-blocking us xP Next time we have to get more games in!
I hope I'm not as free as people think. Even though your Snake... survives.. Snake is a survival master; not even Brawl can take that title away from him.

 

[animeblitzballa33]

Also got a new computer comming in a week or so, which means i can actually get on the boards moar than once a lifetime.

 

[BPx]
