I'm planning to go to Evo in the future, but not right now. I need to put these SF3/KOF skills to the test, for once.

Learn the language and move there. or 2. move to So.Cal. and find the big Evo tourney every year there.

http://general.gamerfeed.com/gf/news/6272/ Is this Sega's re-entry into the console world? Or is it new Arcade Hardware? Or are they pulling our chains :/ Will know at e3. Discuss possiblities! I want Dreamcast 2 and Shenmue 3 If it isn't those, hopefully some new hardware based on the NAOMI.

Metrosexual = something like Ash from kof2k3. Or Benimaru. or Testiment, or like that guy on SNL who acts gay but really isn't.

I want to move to japan just to play in GGXX/KOF/SF3 tournements. And you know, the hawt chix0rz.

And I quote Foamy; "Damn you Neo!"

I meant '04, corrected my post.

Guilty Gear XX#Reload isn't published by Sammy for the U.S. release, Majesco is publishing the game for Europe/North America, thats why I didn't put it with the Sammy line up. Guilty Gear XX#Reload that comes out in NA/Europe is the Korean version soundtrack. Isuka plays like the old Fatal Fury games with the 2 fighting planes, thats why theres a "turn" button. From word of mouth, the game isn't that great in terms of gameplay and improvements. Think it as "Guilty Gear XX Tournement Edition." FFXII is still making progress in development. I'll ask a friend of mine to check out the S-E booth at e3. Although it should come out around December 2004 in Japan if everything goes according to plan.

So very true. Like you said Diffrent stroke for diffrent folk. I sware thats a sexual innuendo.

My parents = Everything is Playstation.

Someone needs to make The Matrix in the Matrix in the Matrix.

Server is back up, new IP for it is 67.71.72.39:1337. All DJ's please take note of the change and curse my dynamic IP. We need a deadicated server.

PS2 versions of MS3 and SVCC are cancaled for an american release. Uhh...my bad O.o

where did you read that xbox was getting it? i'm looking at the E3 SNK/P lineup and theres no SSV: special for xbox, just ps2 and arcade. heres that list for anyone wanting to see what they'll show at E3: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/04/29/news_6094857.html the games that i know xbox is getting are: Metal Slug 3 SNK Vs. Capcom KOF 2002 while ps2 is getting: Metal Slug4/5 KOF 2002/2003 KOF Maximum Impact Samurai Shodown V: Special Here and an email I got (same thing as what biz yahoo thing is)

I would, but I don't want to get banned.

Ok, someone else is going to have to set up the server from now on, for some reason port 1337 is being blocked, and every other port I try. I revieve a FATAL ERROR! PORT ALREADY IN USE thing. so yeah, some else is going to have to run it for a while.

I would think it was getting ddos'ed

Samurai Shodown Zero PS2 Edition is still on hold by the SCEA. But Xbox will get Samurai Shodown Zero Special Edition. DAMNIT Were being left out again. Well my ps2 finally died, so I have a reason to get an xbox now

I suggest we get off the flaming topic and talk about SWAMP_THING on teh b00z

We all have opinions and some don't want to fully accept it. I'm one of them thats for sure. And technically, I wasn't basing GGXX, I was just bashing the original.

haha sweet! Get on irc and lets battle! edit: YOU AND YOUR DAMN WORK!

Well, theres nothing wrong with pointing out an opinion. Even though you cannot accept it.

I'll just go back here and hide now Diso. I challange you to KOF2k2.

Hmm, interesting. This is SF2, not DBZ. So, your wrong. It shows that you didn't read my post as well as you though. You can do specials, blocking techniques were basic, ala FF. Let me quote my self "SF2 was known for its great playablity, control and detailed (note: low-resolution) and interesting characters" See that line with "was?" Yes there, look, I'll show you again. "SF2 was known for its great playablity, control and detailed (note: low-resolution) and interesting characters" WAS! YES! I said "was" because it was KNOWN to be the best.. You blind fsck. Exactly, If you want me to compare system mechanics, trust me, you don't know how deep I can go between each game. But since you won't listen to my words, I'm typing it up anyways. Street Fighter 2 was revolutionairy, it's detailed graphics at 320x230 running on CPS2, those to rival a Neo-Geo system. The controls were excellent, everything was responsive and characters were original at the time. After countless updates and tweaking (I'm saving the trouble of typing out a whole fscking series of compairsons betweem each and every single SF2 game to GG). SF2turbo was granted as the best version of SF2. Why? Faster gameplay (to rival, guess who? SNK's Fatal Fury series), more possible combos, character balancing and design. SF2 had simple walking back and forward, and was highly accliamed as a tournement worthy game. It's fast paced engine and combos were limitless. Matches between players were and still are amazing to this day for a game thats 12 years old. The engine still impresses those today who didn't know such an old game could be tournement worthy. Sure there isn't move cancaling as there is today in almost all fighting games these days. But you still want me to continue into getting into the systems, then I shall. Street Fighter 2's game system which complies as 6 buttons of various strength of punches and kicks made gameplay albit better on controlling your attacks and speeds of the attacks. The super bar at the bottom would build up as you attacked your oppodent with simple attacks or a combination of attacks known as combos. There was not a short hand of top tier characters either, almost the whole roster was considered "top tier." Which made it very worthy of being a competive game. Running? It's a fscking 12 year old game DUDE! IT'S SIMPLE COMPARED TO GG. Animations? What you say? Animations were bullshit? Beg to differ, from a technical view, the animations were flawless, straight forward, and perfect. And running at a lower resolution I might say, which is pretty game good. WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE? SNK'S NEO-GEO GAMES RUN AT LOWER RESOLUTIONS TOO! AND THE GRAPHICS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS A FSCKING ATOMISWAVE PLAYING GGXX! Now Guilty Gear. Introduced in 1998 on the PS1 also a worthy game to play against players. Now, what was in it? Ground Air/Dashing. Everything else is what we've seen before. What was new besides dashing? Nothing. Nothing else, but dashing. Now to bring up other points 4 Buttons = Punch Kick Slash Hard Slash Chaos Bar = Special Bar Fukki = Breaking fall These 4 buttons are based on which game? Samurai Spirits. Sammy was founded by the same people who made Samurai Spirits series for the Neo-Geo. You can see their elements in this game. Highly original Sammy. Stealing and taking your own button set up. The slashing for controlling your weapon's attack and those hand to hand moves to close encoutners. You are limited to what to do. Chaos Bar is basically just a diffrent name for "Special Bar" or Power Gauge. No argument. Fukki, otherly known as Fall breaker that SNK has been using in KOF since 98. Now what I say to you is. What else am I missing? What? What? What? Air dashing! Why over course, your beloveded dashing, hey buddy, have you played Fatal Fury? yeah dude, its there, same year as SF2 came out too. Animations? The animations in Guilty Gear were and are medicore at best. They also ran at a higher resolution to give an illiusion feel of high-quality, and highly detailed characters and background. Which is a "short cut" and not using any system to its full potential. The character tiers in GG/X/XX are Millia, Dizzy, Faust, Johnny, Bridget, I-no, Chipp, Baikan and Sol. Now compared to SF2, GG/X/XX is ridden with many, many flaws in gameplay. From dust loops to infinities, which is like MVC/MVC2. (Which most of them were fixed in #Reload) Ok, I compared them. FF7 as I said, HAS A MORE DEEP PLOT LINE THEN FF1. I SAID IT MY SELF, CAN'T YOU READ? SEE! SEE IT THERE? CAN YOU, blind fool, I said it my self yet you say it. Battle system? The best battle system was the Job system from Final Fantasy Tactics, which is highly underrated. There is no doubt that 7's Meteria system is very flexable but also leads to troublesome problems at times of need. Basis is basis, Final Fantasy 1 was ground breaking and overall, the most memorable Final Fantasy game next to 7. But you don't know that "generation" because you simple moved on and forgot about it. You say people are stuck in the past? It's because today's games are simple, adhear no challange what so ever and are filled with bugs and problems because they are not polished enough. Those that define "Hardcore Gamer," are the ones who still respect and play these classic games to remeber when there was a time when it was actually fun to play. You have made a mistake, I didn't say SF2 was the greatest game ever. I just pointed out facts that you don't want to accept. And just to annoy you and you alone FF1 > FF7 Now you should read up on your history and do your homework properly before arguing with me. Now, how dare you to say that my statments are not correct and say that I'm wrong. You're whole outlook on this converstaion as of now is to stay hate to SF2 because you do not want to go back to your roots.
