The Vs Fighting Game Thread - News & Views..

[Haws Bah Gawd]

This is great news. I'm really pumped to see a character roster. Wonder if this will have a Capcom or Marvel final boss? Maybe an original creation like Abyss from MvC2? At this point, if they go with a Marvel character, it will be a Void-controlled Sentry, and I'm not sure what it would be if they did something.with a Capcom character. Either way, hopefully the multiplayer stays just as fun.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Can't edit posts on my phone. So yea, friend of mine just called me, on the verge of orgasm over the news. Really, MvC2 came out 10 years ago, and people still play it like its brand new . It has great staying power.

I hope some of the heels from Resident Evil get in on the roster.. like a playable Nemesis. That would kick ass.

Probably means no TvC, but you never know.

Holy fuck that trailer was nice. I can't believe though we're throwing a Resident Evil character into the mix. That just seems so very wrong. Especially him vs. Hulk.

Why does that seem wrong? Jill Valentine was in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, wasn't she?

 

[vivisectvi]

She was, yup.

:-[ Sonuvabitch, I didn't know that. My bad.

It's real!

And that sucks. Or it'll remain Japan / Wii exclusive.

They're saying there will be 30-40 characters. Spider-Man, Storm, and Magneto were noted in that article. Some art shows the silhouettes of others.

I can't see the links at work...who's the Resident Evil character?

 

[devo]

Chris Redfield.

I heart Japanese Cammy actress.

The Tiger handheld is still better than Street Fighter I.

I wasn't the slightest bit interested in Super Street Fighter IV till 2 days ago. Now I want it. A friend offered to give me his SFIV Madcatz pad for the price of shipping ($6) and the game is $40 on Amazon with a $10 credit for future purchases.

Been playing since about 10pm.

New intro is awesome but doesn't include enough of the newer characters for my liking.

Colors and taunts are apparenty time-based / activity-based unlocks. Fight enough with a certain person and you get a message like "You've unlocked a new taunt for Dudley".

Tons of people already have the game apparently as I've had quite a few online matches.

TFG was saying that a lot of Walmarts broke the street date and have been selling it since at least the 21st or 22nd.. Where'd you get yours?

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I remember the original Street Fighter 2 Tiger handheld commercial. It made the game look pretty good, so I bought it. What a pile, and what a disappointed 10 year old I was.

Some dude I know is actually worried that MvC3 will play like RE5 just because it uses the same MT Framework. Uh.... I don't know where to begin.

He works at Gamestop. They have a terrible policy of letting employees take brand new games home with them before the street date, then they sell the opened copies as "new".

Ahh, the magic of a resealer.

Tell him that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe runs on the Unreal Engine. Maybe he'll "get it."

I'm sorry Matt, I couldn't discern anything from your post over the obnoxious amount of whining it contained.

This from the guy who has no qualms about buying a new system to use for a few weeks with the intent of returning it, or buying a new system and returning a broken one in its place.

Roommate got an early copy, am playing it now (Look at my gamercard for proof). It is awesome and I love it to death. Questions?

 

[Thoth]

Justin Wong and Daigo Umehara just ended their 5 game set with a DRAW. This is unprecedented in street fighter tourney play. I am freaking out just from watching the match.

How was I whining? I wasn't. I certainly wasn't blaming you for taking advantage of the opportunity. But it's still shitty of Gamestop to sell those used copies as "new". That's why I never buy from there unless there's a preorder bonus for something. But I wasn't criticizing you at all. And that pretty much covers what Smues said, too.

Much obliged. That was absurd.

I just am shocked that Guile's super actually hits behind him that far. I knew it would hit, but not that quickly.
