Daigo vs. Justin Wong... off the record



I was there! ^_^

I'll admit that I didn't realize that these two were finally facing off. I think during that whole thing, I was getting some time in with Makoto at one of the kiosks. LOL. At any rate, this is only the very last round of the whole set. I didn't see the rest of the match so things can be taken out of context very easily just by taking into account this one round.

I guess I'm saying it could go both ways. It could have been staged because of the massive lead Daigo had and it just so happened to end in a dabbol kay oh. On the other hand, crazy things have happened in the past and it did end in a dabbol kay oh. What are the chances of that happening? Either way, it solidified the whole "get hype" campaign and engraved itself into SF folklore history.

speculated characters







OMG!!! FELICIA! no surprise about weak the... being there.

IT'S MAH-VEL BAYBEE!


yay! another vs. game! good time to be alive.

I remember reading some stuff on the SRK forums. A lot of people were complaining (already... i know. sounds like pre SFIV talk all over again) about how the game would look. Let's whine about shit and not be happy they even were able to announce it. We already know that Capcom's policy is for 2.5d type visuals. Judging by the trailer, it seems to have more shading than TvC. I think they might go for a detailed comic book look. Whatever. I like what i see, espcially Morrigan. It's her best modern model to date.

In the announcement thingy at game trailers, the producer talked a little more about it. It seems that they've been working on the game since MvC2 came out. All the legal stuff was done well ahead of actual game development and they started back in 2008. That's one hell of a secret to keep. Then again I think people were distracted with SFIV.

Hopefully they keep Sakura, Cammy, and Felicia but the roster is going to be around 30... Still a big line up but it makes the inclusion of Sakura and Felicia less likely to happen. The producer said both companies have grown with new IP so they're looking for the most popular as well as best fit for the game. I'm sure the characters are already decided upon by now. Well we'll see what happens. did I mention that i'm excited?

new SRK avvy

Shoryuken Forums Avvy

i dont know why i'm so tired. I'm going to bed after this post but I spent my time after dinner constructing an avvy for the SRK forums. I'm not very active but if there's a small chance i could customize something, I will.

finally, a los angeles fight club


They finally posted some info about what's going down. I'm so going down there... The line is going to be horrible though. I know it is... A bunch of justin wong looking kids are going to make up the people who are going to camp out the night before. I don't know if i want to spend my friday with people like them. Maybe I might get a better chance of getting a free copy and other stuff if i dress up like weak the...

スタナー!!!



I finally found a decent video codec! It might work with RotD and GGPO matches so I'm excited! I'll have to test it out sometime.

This game is pretty cool even though I just got it. It's been out for a while now but I just never got around to downloading it. I intended to use Kaede first but my first time on the game, I didn't know how the character select worked and I picked Lilith. She is so fun to play with just cuz her moves do massive damage if they land. She has no forward dash... only a back dash... and that kinda sucks. On a wiki page, it states that her super deals out 46% to 51% damage depending on the defense of the opponent but it seems like it does more. You can't tell in the video since I pulled it out at the end of the match. I'm not good at 360 motion driven moves.

I downloaded the netplay client but i doubt i'll ever get a match against a human opponent. Maybe Sensei might want to play with me but that's a long shot. The game itself is totally free and it doesn't take much to run it. It's just kind of hard to find the build that runs on US systems.

get on the dance floor...



quite a few character themes were uploaded recently. I'm still looking for makoto's and juri's.

princess of darkness - dark aya!

er... i mean Dark Eir.



As if I didn't have enough games to keep up with. DFO is super fun but they use P2P connections to party up and for some reason Sensei and I always lag out. Lunia has been around for ages but its the closest thing to DFO and doesn't rely on unstable P2P connections. I'm just happy it actually runs on my computer! It's even running on the "high end" settings so that tells you how old this game is.

Sigh... I have to post about my latest matches and redo another match TvC match vid... that won't happen for a few days though.

sooo cute....



I'm doing my rounds online and I came across something on kotaku. THE FLYING HAMSTER!

sooo cute. Shooters are pretty cool for quick break but I really usually don't care for them. Some of the themes are... questionable at times (check out the picture of the loli shooter) but whatever.



DOA Paradise also just came out so I have reasons to dust off the old PSP.

so... invincibility frames is the key?



I guess I could see why the devs would leave that unblockable mechanic in. Both the unblockable and the counter require enough awareness to execute both so よくやった!!!

a better look at unblockables in SSFIV



so yeah even Sakura could exploit the quick recovery mechanic of this game. Weak the-- I mean Chun-Li also can do it but it's not shown in the video above. Most of them involve projectile characters and the opponent tech rising or whatever after a knock down. sigh. I gotta calm down and not be so eager to get into people's grills like imma steal something. ^_~

BlazBlue X Arcana Heart 3



I missed it! they took the page down but so far one of the best april fools jokes I've seen so far.
