Not surprising, but definitely good to hear. Also good to hear confirmation that the gameplay is based on Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I... I can't wait to see this

Some good matches last night! I'm glad to see my Dudley and Ryu are coming along

Hah I suppose that's true. Although you could also argue that it was advertised prominently on the ODST box.

Clearly you need more oil Seriously though, I'm pretty sure you're better with grapplers than me so take any of my advice with a grain of salt. I do know that 360 motions seem to be a lot easier to input in the Street Fighter 4 series than in older games. By this I mean I can now do them at all. Street Fighter 4 was the first game in which I had fun playing Zangief. Wait, isn't the point of reversals to have finished inputting the motion before you've gotten up? Blocking shouldn't be a factor at all. Or did you mean counter instead of reversal? An obvious question maybe, but have you considered getting a stick? One of the main things a stick has seemed to help me with is the speed of inputting Zangief's 360 motions.

Couldn't get into a game yesterday. I discovered I really don't like Bungie's tone, both in the Halo Reach menus and in the official posts. They're acting as if this beta is god's gift to gaming and we should all be very grateful for it (which would have gotten on my nerves even if the game had worked). Also after the way they and Microsoft hyped this beta's launch, they could stand to be a little more humble / apologetic about underestimating the server load. Oh well, maybe I just don't "get" the Halo culture.

Hey, what do you know, there's a shmup thread. Shamelessly quoting my own post from the freeware thread, in case you guys missed it: Especially on the higher difficulty levels this game reminds me a lot of shmups. Not really my genre, but I like this one for the Metroid aspect

I've been meaning to try out Iji.

Bumping this thread because this seems to belong here. I just dicovered a new free game named Hero Core ( ) and played a bit of it. It's kind of a mix of Metroidvania and oldschool bullet hell shmups. So far I like it! It has this weird retro feel to it, even though it doesn't really look like a game from any specific old console. Apparently it was released yesterday.

I think this is a pretty accurate description of the problem with getting into superhero comics

I'm not a huge Halo fan, but I do have ODST. It was a fun shooter. I'll try out the Reach beta at least once.

Some good matches just now! You guys are definitely already better at SSF4 than me, although I did somehow win that last Guy vs Ibuki match. Hopefully I'll be able to fight you again.

These are long, but amazing! I'm probably gonna watch the first seven parts as well. I actually remember the Justin Wong vs Daigo Evo 2009 finals, I watched the live stream. They were supposed to take place when it was the middle of the night over here, but they were delayed so much I got to watch the last few matches in the morning before leaving for work.

Happy birthday!

From this thread I get the impression that most of you are much better at Street Fighter than me... But tomorrow I have the day off. I might be able to join for a few games in spite of the time difference. My gamertag is MvdR, maybe I'll send out some friend requests tonight.

Many of the challenges contain links rather than cancels. What this means in practice is that your timing needs to be just right, instead of as fast as you can.

I always simply map triple punch and triple kick to the two buttons I have left.

Yesterday I found a store that was selling the Xbox version early! I've only been able to play it for an hour or so but I'm loving it so far. Really liking guy and Ibuki; I haven't experimented with Dudley yet.

Curse you Americans Hopefully I'll be able to get it the day after tomorrow. The official European release date is Friday, which unfortunately is a Dutch national holiday

I'm 28 and I can easily hear all of them. I did have to crank up the volume of my speakers starting from 15k, but then again, my speakers are never on really loud.

Interesting idea! Seems I won't actually be able to make it though, due to time zone differences. If you want you can send me a friend request anyway. I do have some of the games you listed: Resident Evil 5 Castle Crashers Soul Calibur 4 (though honestly I kind of hate it) Street Fighter 4 Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HDR Perfect Dark Also on the 29th I will probably be buying Super Street Fighter 4. (edited for readability)

Adon's remixed theme is badass! Hakan's was a little disappointing, it's good but I preferred the "Yakko version" in his first trailer. I'm glad that every character now has his/her own theme again. So how does the music work in the game? Do you still only get to hear these character themes in the single player mode? Or is the stage music gone now? Or can you switch between stage music and character themes?

Holy crap that trailer is awesome!! I wouldn't worry too much about Disney characters. From what I've read, the people involved with the game from the Marvel side actually work for Marvel, not Disney. Even if it were to happen, it might be one joke character or something, there's no way Disney is going to dominate this game. 30 characters actually sounds like a good number to me. I wouldn't assume there will be many more than that. Don't forget, this is a completely different engine from MvsC2 so they can't just reuse their old work. From the brief (seemingly) in-game shinkuu hadouken in the trailer, it seems the game might be based on Tatsunoko vs Capcom, which means they could reuse some of the Capcom characters from that game, but the entire Marvel side is going to have to be newly designed and created.

Honestly I've been a big fan of Whedon since Buffy. (When it was still a tv show anyway, I don't care too much for the recent comics.) I even enjoyed Dollhouse. Can't say I care much about the Avengers. I sorta like Spider-Man and the X-Men; I only care about other Marvel characters when Capcom characters are beating them up. I can never keep straight which of the Marvel guys are the Avengers. Still, if Whedon will write / direct the movie I'll go see it. But Whedon was supposed to do a Wonder Woman movie and that never happened. I'm not as optimistic as you Darkesword.

Dude, I hadn't even noticed that, but now that you mention it they do sound alike, must be the same actor. Yuri was pretty awesome, I should really finish Tales of Vesperia sometime. I guess Snow can be pretty annoying, although I guess it's by design. I did like the very different ways he and Lighting reacted to (minor spoiler) Serah's crystallisation. I'm pretty far in the game I think, just reached the part where it gets much less linear, and I'm really enjoying the hunts. I'm surprised by how much fun I'm having with the combat system.

I also haven't played as Bass yet, but apparently he does! He doesn't have the double jump, but otherwise he's pretty much the same as in Mega Man & Bass: he has the dash, the 8-way (7-way?) rapid fire and he can even merge with Treble. All in all he looks pretty badass. Definitely going to get this.
