Norcal/Bay Area/DBR:NorCal Nevers: Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

[Gaara♥]

how many norcal smashers are actually going to OC3??
If the majority of us go or there's a large number, then we should play OC3 rules....
but then again if there's only a small group to represent all of norcal, then I still agree with Zhu
OC3 rules ftw!

FFT is just as overrated as FF7 except it has a smaller base of more hardcore fans.

I don't see how putting it on the PSP is toning it down at all. FFT is a PS1 game.


Go everything Lunar!

 

[KingJiggyWiggy]

FFT is not overrated because there was no prequel, sequel, OR movie. And not only that, it has Ramza. No Cloud.

FF8 anyone?

 

[Gaara♥]

psp ruins everything ftw

 

[Zelgadîs ™]

FF7 Is hella good.
FFT Is hella good.
Xenoseries is hella good.
Tales series is hella good.

Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals is way too good for any of the above.

OC3 Rules FTW.

 

[Miharu]

FF8 sucked.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Are you anti-conformist?

I'm anti-conformist but also anti-anti-conformist, if that makes sense. Basically I think disliking something because it's popular is as abhorrent as liking something because it's popular. Although percentage-wise there are way more popular things that suck moose **** than unpopular things.

FF7 is overrated because it was a lot of ppl's first RPG so they were like WOW RPG R KUL. But it is very good in its own right, although I think 6, 4, 10, and possibly 12 (haven't finished it yet) are better FF's.

8 is pretty much the worst FF (even though I still played it through twice; it's not bad game, just the worst FF). The Draw system was an atrocity. All your characters are practically clones of each other in battle. The characters weren't too great. The final boss comes into the story when you're like 90% done with the game, and is hardly developed as a character at all. Squall is a ****. I do like the music and overall graphic design of the game though.


I'd say my #1 RPG is FF6, then Xenogears.
Grandia series = best battle system ever.
Secret of Mana = amazing

I'm leaving for Poland tomorrow, yay.

 

[SoxSoxy1]

I know that probably noone cares but,YES! I found out that the place Im staying is about two blocks from SJSU.I visit San Jose about 2-4 times a year,usually on vacations from school.Thats 2-4 tourneys a year which is way better than 0 a year. My only question now is there going to be friendlys before the tourney? If so what time because I want to get in as many games as I can. I guess thats it...Boozer FTW!

Also if theres anyone in the SJSU area who wants to play some games after the tourney gimme a location and i could probably come. Really just want to get as many games in as possible before i head home. Theres nobody where i live *sniffle*.

 

[SuperRad]

im against OC3 rules for two reasons:
1) I'm not going to OC3
2) they're stupid rules

 

[Art?]

my top 5 best RPG battle systems:

1. FFT
2. star ocean 3
3. star ocean 2 (yes 2 and 3 are different)
4. parasite eve series
5. saga frontier series

i also like the battle systems from: xenogears, xenosaga series, grandia series, and legend of legaia.

anyone ever played valkyrie profile?

ok i should probably stop talking about RPGs.

 

[KingJiggyWiggy]

Yeah I played Secret of Mana too. But has anyone tried Legend of Mana?

But I think Seiken Densetsu 3 was the best out of the Mana series.

 

[LunInSpectra]

Sheridan, we are doing the rankings today, try your best to get everyone -- I'll also try to get them.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

OK Rey, I'll be around.

Also you HAVE to play Grandia before I respect your opinion on battle systems. 2 is the better game overall, but Xtreme has slightly better battle system.

yes, because corneria, jungle japes, rainbow cruise, poke floats etc are not stupid right? yea no johns, some ppl suck at them because they never bothered to play them but... yea alot of norcal is going to OC3 right? might as well get used to the mentality of playing by their rules. just a suggestion. i'm hoping norcal can do at least one of these before OC3 comes >_>

it's not even the other stages being banned, because i only really pick outside of neutrals for ice climbers, it's that certain matchups become less balanced when you take away the three smaller stages from being on random. for example, sheik vs falco.

 

[K Balls]

Sheridan Grandia 2 was a pimp game especially for the Dreamcast. 3 isnt as good as 2, 2 is the best.

superrad just save your money and dont go to oc3

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

Grandia 2 was really good, final boss pissed me off how easy he was though. Also my respect for Sheridan grows. A really good RPG I havent seen mentioned yet is breath of fire 3. ****, I should replay through that. Also I will not be making it to this biweekly.

i remember playing grandia 2 (i forgot what 1 was like) and if i recall, it has a battle system similar to star ocean 2/3 but isn't real-time and you can't freely roam the battlefield like you could in most of the RPGs i listed for favorite battle system.

 

[Tomi-X]

Since the conversation is on RPGs, anyone like Tales of Destiny for the PS1? Classic.

 

[MyKo]

Wait till we get to 1,000 pages..i'll be like wtf..i will never ever be reading from page 1 to 1000 in my life..forget that. lol

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Panelist peeps: I'm not going to be on until sometime between 11 and midnight tonight. I'm going to do the last bit of hanging with my non-smash friends before I go off on this trip, that I won't be back from until July 21st.

 

[arrowhead]

oh yeah i got a ride

who wants a bad partner

 

[MyKo]

There's no such thing as a bad partner.

Just get an evading partner and an aggressive one and have the evading partner DISTRACT/DECOY while the aggressor *****.

LOOOOOL

 

[Oni Shinigami]

OK Rey, I'll be around.

Unless you've played the game Xenogears; I don't respect your opinion on battle systems.

P.S. I've played every FF, Grandia, all the Mana...etc the list is huge

and P.S.S The Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross franchise is the greatest of all time; the end.

 

[Dread101]

Grandia 2 f*cking owns my soul! love that game!haha

 

[AznShadoW]

lol where were you. we just went over how his NAME is from xenogears. that means he has probably played it.

P.S. its P.P.S., not pss

I didn't really think the Xenogears battle system was a strong point; I was just really fascinated with the story and characters.

I think CT is the next most overrated RPG after FF7...

 

[frotaz37]

The best RPG is Pokemon Yellow.

Surfing Pikachu!!!!!!


PIIIKAAAAACHUUUU!

[SoxSoxy1]

How early should I come for friendlys?

 

[SuperRad]

the doubles tournament starts at 12 i think. or maybe 1?
if you want to play doubles and friendlies, show up around 11 or so, if you want to play singles and friendlies, i'd show up around 3 or 4

 

[NintendoKing]

CMON DEEP NORCAL SHOW ME SOME LOVE!!!

I might be still drunk tomorrow so expect one hell of a smash show.
