The Vs Fighting Game Thread - News & Views..

I meant the lame ass Mega Man Volnutt character that was in TvC.

Anyway, if Mega Man makes it into this one they should render him so that he looks like the 8-bit NES version.

So he'd be the MvC version of Mr. Game and Watch then?

EDIT: Also, you'd be surprised how many fans of Mega Man Legends there are out there.

Though most of that probably is to Tron Bonne.

Marvel.com has leaked that Thor and fuckin' Amaterasu from Okami are going to be in MvC3. Thor's cool, but Ammy's the one I'm really excited about. I want gameplay video NOWWWWWWWWW

 

[vivisectvi]

Amaterasu?! That's going to be awesome! Great choice with that one, Capcom!!

I'm glad for Thor, too, as I believe this is his first vs fighter appearance, that I can recall anyway. I am still crossing my fingers for Cable and War Machine, though. Cable, especially, so I can team him up with Deadpool.

 

[devo]

Yeah, this is his first appearance as a playable character, though I'm pretty sure he was available as an assist in MvC.

 

[Broward83]

nevermind, site won't link them.

Just go to www.eventhubs.com to see the pics of Thor / Amma

 

[vivisectvi]

What's the release for this game again? Spring 2011?

 

[Broward83]

I think like, March 3rd, 2011

 

[vivisectvi]

Wow, so far away.

 

[Kageho]

Ammy's in the game?! Oh She better be a powerhouse, because She's so damn awesome!

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

IIRC, Thor w4 playable in Avengers Galactic Storm. An obscure arcade fighter from the mid 90s.

Just checked out the new Thor and Ami trailer that was revealed at Comic-Con and while Thor looks good, my God does Ami look broken. I mean, able to change weapons on the fly, spammable paint balls both ground and towards the air, and also two really bad ass hypers, I think she's going to be the one we'll see constantly on online play.

Also, I would say that as soon as I get a release date for this game, I'm buying it. Its just that awesome.

 

[Kageho]

Ladies and gentlemen, Street Fight x Tekken just announced.

Trailer shown off at Comic Con and available on GameTrailers; it sports the Street Fighter IV feeling.

The fighting genre hasn't just been reborn, its on the fucking warpath right now.

 

[devo]

Yeah, the crossover is cool - but y'know what I'm really excited about?

Online Third Strike! Fuck yeah!

 

[Kageho]

Ok, that is definitely awesome stuff.

But Capcom, I'm fucking broke. Stop it.

 

[ericmm]

What about the other one? Tekken x Capcom?

 

[vivisectvi]

I'm completely unfamiliar with Tekken, TBH. I'll still spring for the Capcom version though since it's looking to be developed in the vein of SFIV. Good times!

So I managed to pick up BlazBlue: CS (thank God for trade ins) and I finally have gone about learning how to play fighters.

...no, I don't mean that I didn't know before, I just mean that I spent 3 hours constantly programming a character's BnB into my fingers. Sadly, I still whiff on occasion during the middle and I never can land the very last move, but I've mostly got it down. I just need to purchase a better d-pad or something because a PS3 controller is just too small for trying to pull off moves successfully.

Currently using Noel and Tsubaki for those wondering.

Holy hell, the manual for BB:CS, is FIVE PAGES LONG. The first page is the table of contents, and the last is the warranty. That's worse than EA Sports.

 

[Kageho]

Yeah, its too big isn't it Thoth? I mean, clearly, it should've been 2 maybe 3 pages.

...honestly why the hell do they have an instruction booklet when its not even any use?

 

[Thoth]

StarSlay3r is on game with fame on Xbox this week in SSF4. I don't even know how she fucking qualifies, she's on record as being complete fucking ass at that game.

 

[Kageho]

Is she a girl? Is she cute? Does she have a fan base?

That's your answer right there. As stereotypical as that sounds, that sadly probably is it right there. If none of that applies, then yeah... I don't know then.

I beat her without even trying at the last tournament I was at. My girlfriend was there, and I turned my head from time to time to talk to her. No one in the SoCal tournament scene even likes her, but she dates Mike Ross, so I guess we have to put up with her.

 

[Kageho]

Ugh, that's terrible.

And damn them for not having Makoto out yet, I wanna play as her already. Though still spending like hours trying to land Tsubaki's first combo. I get all of it in, except that damn 22a. I think it needs to be delayed, but I just continually either whiff on landing it, or whiff on it entirely.

Well there's your answer right there.

I was trying to think of someone snarky to say that you would actually give a shit about to fakequote you, but I don't think you really care enough, ergo: cocks.

 

[vivisectvi]

Who is Mike Ross? Scratch that, I don't even want to know. LULZ @ people who try to gain some modicum of "fame" because they're good at playing video games.

 

[Thoth]

Apparently Litchi is S-Tier in BlazBlue CS. I noticed she has some new ground attacks, and new links, but I'm mostly glad my choice of main in a fighting game is good on paper, for once. I got saxrolled by someone who REALLY knew their Litchi, though.

Sorta wish more in the game felt "new". Also, the underage Mu-12 in the metal thong right on the disc... wow.

 

[Kageho]

You got Mu? You lucky bastard! I got Tsubaki.

...though considering I am learning to main her, its not all that bad.

Also Mu isn't underaged. She's just underboobaged. That's all.

Yeah, just like those people that gain some modicum of fame because they can throw a ball really fast or jump really fuckin' high over a bar, right?
