Broken

I find it hard to believe that the first game you showed us is an actual game, Steben. Its presentation looks like someone added in new characters from microsoft paint. And if it is a real game, that's some god awful level design. Even if it was done on purpose. Meh, I'm probably just being grumpy and not realizing how funny this is, but still, if I ever played that game myself, I would make sure to kill whomever made it before I killed myself.

Mmmeeerrryyy Christmas, Hohohohoho!

Happy Birthday, man!

I'd have to agree with Dshu on both accounts, there. And it better be good, to make up for this travesty.

I'm not going to lie. That's probably THE dumbest item I've ever seen. An item that doesn't allow you to heal yourself and may heal your opponent. Thanks, but I'd rather rape someone's sheild with Mr. Saturn.

Fully expecting this to be awesome. They did a very good job on the first film with character development and story and special effects, so I expect no less from this film. Is that Christopher Lloyd? Edit: lol, nevermind. It must have been his hair cut.

Please pimp these videos on your blog, Larry. They're all rap songs that are basically tributes to SF:2. They're all full of tongue and cheek humor and they don't sound bad either, imo. The artist is called Turbo

Congratulations on your engagement! You two make a cute couple. Those are great photos.

Ah, this thread does bring me holiday cheer. Now I just need some free time so I can practice.

It's actually kind of funny that this happened because I only really began to use this word (phrase?)after reading what it stands for in a wiki article. There's nothing like the angry confused look you get from people when you scream "woot." Too much fun. Well, actually using captain Falcon's taunt on people irl is probably better.

Basically, GGPO is betar,but I guess I still have Kawaks set up, so I'll try out this P2P stuff. And besides, Garou is lots of fun whether you've played fighting games before or not. It's HOTU TIME.

Happy Birthday, Dshu! I feel like I should say tomething witty to honor you, but I'm drawing a blank, so just enjoy yourself.

HEEEYYY! I liked the EX series..... It wasn't amazing but it was actually had more in common w/ the classic series than most people think. And It had new characters yet people thought it was just a lame spin-off. Actually, I think if those games had better graphics, they would have been more popular. They were basically just a polygonal transfer of the SF2 with some new mechanics. Wait, that sounds kind of like what this game is going to be......

I have some issues with the graphics and artistic style as well. I was looking for a hyper realistic rendition of characters (a la VF or even Tekken.) I mean we're in the umpteenth generation of systems and the "hardcore" gaming demographic that this game undoubtedly is trying to reach will probably flip a shit if the graphics aren't super pretty. On the other hand, I do like Udon's work and if they are going to cell-shade this, I'd want them to have a hand in making the game hyper-surrealistic and actually more cell shaded. Right now the graphics seem to have identity issues (can't decide whether it wants to be realistic or not and it ends up just looking akward.) I realize that these are screenshots and that screenshots never look as good as actual footage and that these are probably just work in progress shots, but hell I'm a fanboy and I must rant and rave about these things. Also: Dudley better be in this shit.

Have you ever held down, then pressed up and paused the game really fast? I'm not saying that I ever did it, but have you?

I'm going to miss Jeff and his crazy musical tastes. Long live Midnight Brown! But seriously, for someone who's been part of Gamespot for so long, you'd think that he deserves a better departure than this. Regardless of whether he was fired over a "bad" review or not, he should be able to speak his mind on the circumstances surounding his departure rather than be bound to silence. Stupid Cnet.

HAHAHAHAHAH. No really, are you serious?

^ Great idea for a tourney name, there. Smashturbaiton accurately depicts the serious and competitive nature of tourneys.

Crap, that's awesome! Good find, Dshu.

CLESS for BRAWL! lololol. Loyd would be good, too, I suppose. The Tales series has so many heroes and obscure characters, its like a treasure trove for fan-service.

Oh RLY!? If you don't like CCs stay the hell away from SFA2. And that's a legit warning. I'm not just trying to be mean. And yeah, Katsu, we'll have to play sometime. My GGPO tag is TheGeneral. I'm usually free on Friday and Saturday nights/ evenings.

I mean in comparison to killiera and other more establisehd net battle places. However, it may only be a matter of time until GGPO turns into something like that; even more reason to play now while it's still fun and people don't have to resort to insulting you in order to get their kicks.

Anyone played on GGPO besides me, yet? When it's working, it's beautiful. There are many good players and there's so little unnecessary shit talking; it's just gg's of SFA2 or MVC if that's your thing. Not too bad for an Alpha build.

Yeah, it was bad wasn't it? *sigh* I thought it was somewhat fitting, but seeing as I've slaughtered your hero's work, I feel remorse. Isn't there an ongoing competition to parody his work? I think I read about it somewhere.

This is just to say I have eaten the queue that was on the intraweb and which you were probably saving for later (?-> AD2020) Forgive me the mixes were so horrendous and bad NO. I felt particularly inspired to cop some WCW in this thread
