Last night I decided to go play some SF3. Thank God I did. I met an old school player(actually pretty much the best Anakaris in the USA, and Anakaris is like bottom 3 characters because of no pushblock air strings etc. and here he is in winners semis with him going against one of the Five fighting game Gods.). ANyways....I think I'm gonna start to learn Darkstalkers with him. He's helping me get better in SF3 right now and gave me a few programs to study. YO WE'RE BRINGING THE OLD SCHOOL BACK YO! THIRD STRIKE, DARKSTALKERS3, ALPHA 2 COMBACKS YO!

FINALLY GOT TO PLAY YATAGARASU!
This....is definitely keeping my hopes (somewhat) high for the future. Some people from the KoF(98-2k2?) and SF3 series made their own fighting game! And it's pretty fucking awesome. The fucking feeling of ths game though.....really has the fluid nature of SF3(and parry system too!). This game takes a lot after 3s...but it's definitely earned it's right to maybe become a bigger name. ANyways...after a PC release, I believe it's going to be on the PS4(I think I heard tha tsomewhere....).

I don't own it yet, because it's only for PC now I believe.....but soon.....

Bout to start with Baldur's Gate 2, I hope it can fill the hole left by Dark Souls

Played Symphony of the Night for the first time this Christmas, great game.

:O


yes a personal fave

looking fwd to this myself.

haha...I always see those 18 wheeler games at the arcades n stuff....never tried it out. But the tornado on the 2nd stage sounds wild! Sounds fun!


(the frames of lag on the emulator DO NOT HELP!)

oooh dat sick parry!

Yo NOISEREDUX

do you only play sf3 with pad?
dood taught me this neat trick to play awesome footsies with a ps2/3 analog controller.

So what are your flappybird scores?

lol yeah I generally play w/ a fightpad.

I should prob learn to use a stick better sometime.

I use sticks for shmups and pads for fighties.

Personally I kind of wish I played pad a bit more. I think it's a bit easier doing special moves, but I need the space to press buttons for combos n stuff.


Anyways...with a ps2/3 controller you can hold back(with the analog) and walk forward using the dpad. So when playing footsies, you are able to quickly react and block/walk back. Kind of takes a step out of reacting and allows you more time to counter. I was getting my ass whooped when he was doing this. I would try doing Elena's slide from max distance an he(Ken) just had to stop walking forward, which made him immediately walk back just enough to get out of range if my slide and counter with stand RH.

RTW barbarian invasions, vh/vh, as the western romans, and the huns just arrived to salona!

OUCH.

3 but i only played for a minute or two

Diablo 3! It's a blast.

On ps3? That game looks like shit.


Wait yer the guy who didn't like dark souls. Pfff...of course you'd like diablo.

I need to play CVS2 but PS3's lag sucks and I can't practice....but 3SOE is fucking killer after that new patch.


and I will not be switchin' back to square gate since my ygate is now broke....

I was playing CVS2 last night - on Dreamcast. One 1cc'd w/ Chun-Li, Morrigan & Athena <3

NICE!

I can't wait to start playing it again. I've been playing it every now and then on PS3, but I really can't handle the lag. The confirms are already hard enough as it is for that game and the extra frames of lag just make everything(linking and confirming) much harder. Anyways...I've been rocking Hibiki, Sakura(will probably be changing soon for Sagat), and Iori....on P groove because I've been playing 3s way to much and have the worst habit of pressing forward when I see an attack coming.

OLD MAN GAMES ARE COMING BACK!

next on the list.....Alpha 2.

Alpha 3 son.

Yo....the only reason I like playing Alpha 3....isbecause of the roster....especially the later one with the added characters...and Juni and Juli!

but that game just plays a little too weird for me.

I've honestly not played Alpha 1/2 nearly as much so tough for me to say.

Alpha 3 is a bit broken too. You can get infinite after counters in the corner...and air recovery can be weird/cheap too. I remember doing like 5 LP Shoryukens with Akuma to my cousin. I didn't even think I'd get to do as many as 5! But maaaaan I want to like it. I mean....the grooves and the cast was really cool. but the mechanics don't sit well with me....:/

But I still play it. It's still SF....and Sakura still plays the same...so I can still kind of whoop people :P. I wish I had the patience to play it more and learn Karin really well.

noiseredux...have yo udownloaded the 3s patch? the online is better!


(also close to being top 5 elena on psn :P)

when did the patch come out? I probably haven't played it in amonth or so

Uhhh...I believe it was this past Thursday? Anyways...they fixed a few things(like the meter size and they also worked on the netcode...the online experience is so much better now. It's mch easier to avoid people with bd connections too. They have a ping number instead of the colored dot. So yeah...stay withinlike 200 and it runs smooth.

Bought MGS5 today. I have a list of games to buy for when my ps3 is fixed....but I couldn't let this one be on that list. I need to play it....now.
So I'm using my roommate's ps3. Why don't I play the other games and play them on his ps3? well....they're too long and I don't want to have to replay them. this is a couple hours long.

anyways. 80% finished installing. w00t. latttererersss

5 hours later...I listened to all the tapes and beat it...after listening to the tapes I made some food and watched some tournament replays...but yeah. Can't wait to see this continue.

hey EVOL, what do you think of my new Dreamcast setup?

My girlfriend and I are tag teaming Wind Waker HD.
I kept thinking this was one of the more underrated Zelda games until I remembered the part where you have to find the triforce shards... yikes.

isn't that part way easier on WiiU though?

That easiness is cancelled out when having to coach your girlfriend through the game. XD
The original came out when I was in 5th grade (I think) and that part pretty much ended my experience with the game due to its difficulty, so I can't really comment on comparison.

LOVE IT! I wanna play some ikaruga on dat! :D

hehe...that's a weird lookin' monitor. Is it a TV or a DC thing?

that's just an HP Pavilion monitor using it w/ a VGA box. I'm prob gonna end up replacing with an LCD monitor at some point. But this monitor I grabbed for $5 so it works for now.

ahh...looks like it can be a DC attachment.

Arcade not too far from my house....(Noiseredux OR anyone into arcade games, if yer ever near/in Chicago, you'd definitely want to check this joint out) It's really like an arcade museum. So many games....and all for free. Hopefully we get some OG meetups in the summer there.

Dark Souls 2. I'm finding it quite cathartic.

Just beat Kirby's Adventure.
That has to have one of the best balances of playability and challenge of any old school game I've ever played.

I just beat Ornstein and Smough with a level 1 one pyro. Getting Dark Souls 2 this week.

I was hoping to fix my ps3 last week for DS. (I still need to finish the first. my CD drive broke halfway through playing it.) Anyways....it's looking like I"ll finall y have time this week(after I finish moving today).

Alternates between sublime and endlessly frustrating.
