So apparently, Megaman and Pacman are greyed out in the game and thus may be DLC characters (this explains why they are not selectable in Cross Assault).
Seriously, they may as well have just released this game for the Vita to begin with.

Mega Man and Pac-Man are likely greyed out because they haven't been officially demoed to the public yet.

EDIT: Is that just a guess or has that been confirmed, GhostRidah? I don't think the PS3 version would get online activation DLC and not the 360.

All I know is that Spooky was saying he couldn't activate them since none of their consoles were connected to the net or something.

That is odd...
Wonder if all you have to do is connect or play online to unlock them, since I can't access the store with my main account.

I believe you need to unlock them in the shop which they don't have access to.

Hmm does unlocking them with one account unlock them in all accounts in the PS3 ver. I wonder?
Is anyone going to the LA Fight Club that Ono's gonna be at?
Any who are going should ask him about the 12 characters for Vita and about Megaman and Pacman for 360.
 
Yep, this is gonna be that comment that stream monsters and Neo Gaf use up like a $2 ho until it stops being humorous, like "Floe Understands" and "is Oni banned?"

You guys sure know to make ruin a good thing

So Tizoc, your thoughts on meter in this game change any with Desk Video (and the version shown on the Armhouse stream, if you saw it?) Or with watching these streams, for that matter?

I like the significance of Team supers (Very NGBC like in the "red health" eating aspects) and it's cool that they do so much damage, almost like lvl 3s in Marvel. Those, and simple combos into Supers seem to be the best uses for raw damage. So many matches last night seemed to depend on who landed those solid supers.

Supers after long combos generally seem pretty meh. They might do the most damage possible in the situation, but it ends up being, what, 1 or 2 unscaled fierce punches in damage? Bleh. With everything else you can do with meter, seems like a waste. Full chain combo cancelled into Super might be more damaging for some teams, than Combo into Meter-tag into EX, which cost the same meters.

King and Rufus seem like specialist at doing meter damage. I'd actually like it if some characters end up better at using meter in certain ways than others. Hopefully the ones that overscale with too many hits, lead to huge openings that allow a person to tag in, and get a "free" super through special move charging.

...I hope I can find some fun stuff to do with Julia and Asuka's charges, lol. They kept mentioning on stream that Julia's Super is a 1-framer, so should allow her to get some impressive combo enders...

TwitchTV never works for me mate, so I can't comment on those.
Desk's Vid was mainly exhibition and the combos he's shown in it will hardly, if ever, appear in matches.
I'll need to watch some high level play in the coming months for my view on Meter management to change if at all ;3

Actually the team supers/Lvl. 3/Cross Arts do 100+Partner's super damage. ...but yeah they do do about as much damage as Lvl. 3's UMvC3.

The least amount of damage anything does in this game is 10% of it's base damage. Average damage of Supers (2 stocks) is 300-350 points; using them in a long combo will do as much damage as a Light Punch or Kick XD

This will end up being the greatest fighting game capcom has ever made. It will not be surpassed for 5 years. *save for super sfxtk Kappa*

Super Street Fighter X Tekken is going to take 5 years? It'll happen in a few months. :p

I never said it would take 5 years for an expansion. I said save for that, as it doesn't really count as being a better new game as it's an expansion. Unless it has like super drastic changes like Accent Core which was pretty much Guilty Gear XXX outside of no new characters.

But if the contract stuff is true, we wont get a new disc release for a long time if ever.

I kid I kid.

But now that you mention it, what contract stuff?

Namco and Capcom have a contract to only release 1 disc based game each using the two franchises.

So even if there is an expansion later, it will be like arcade edition.

And damn I was hoping mark would post that combo he was talking about. I think he is in a sour mood after today :(

That's the first I've heard of it. Did either Capcom or Namco publicly show the contract or say what was on it?

iirc, I remember this interview here:

http://www.destructoid.com/talking-tekken-with-series-producer-katsuhiro-harada-207148.phtml

"I've talked with Ono-san and we planned a time-table for the games, but who knows there may be one Super Edition," Harada-san joked."

and then that announcement that said you would only need one disc to be able to get everything afterwards. Smelled like another Arcade Edition styled content release (You could buy a complete disc or get furthur content digitally) which wasn't too shabby.

No he's not, he's asking me for dirty pictures right now. As usual.

So far it looks like I have the OT, unless someone else wants it. But that depends on tomorrow and if it's a go, it will be a little late than usual.

I dunno man, the Tekken characters seems to be working well in 2D. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more in the future depending on the success of the crossover. I would love a 2D Tekken game to be honest now that I'm seeing them in action. :p On the other hand, waiting to see how the Capcom characters translate to 3D...

The more I think about my future team and the more I'm thinking Poison might be in it. Seems like she will be a shoto like character (with solid normals) except that she's more interesting and cool than Ryu, Ken or Akuma. Outside of the gender controversy and the sexiness, I think a big part of her appeal is the awesome haircut. :]

I can say that, playing the game with a connected PS3, the characters are greyed out for me as well. My assumption was that maybe I had to unlock them or something in-game.

That actually made me go look at the move list. I thought Poison was a charge character for a bit.
 
It's still in the game. He seems to be the only character with two Super Arts.

Its got LP LP -> LK HP Which is Raging demon Previously the Super However for some reason i prefer

LP LP <- LK HP which is Wrath of the raging demon Not really a huge change but i much prefer the animations and such for WotRD.

Since im not sure where to ask this ill ask here, Whats the obsession with Darkstalkers, iv just been looking at some footage of it and the character design dosnt look to good and my only experience with the characters was MvC2 and none of them seemed exceptional

the game just feels...so good when you play it. every character is unique and it's pretty well balanced(i know, sas/zabel-anak). my favorite fighter, personally.

A lot of mechanics you would be familiar with in MvC2 originated from the Darkstalkers series such as dashing, air dashing, air blocking and the magic series. I found a blog post that has an overview of its influential features if you would like to learn more. http://kayin.pyoko.org/?p=428

Tizoc: 10% scaling is ludicrous, lol. I generally dislike this EXTREEEEME scaling, but I find it acceptable for this game, for the fact that 1 character = death. If both had to die, max scaling being 30 / 40% would be much more plesant. I wish they'd handle it XIII's way, and give supers an unscaled, guarenteed damage hit. At least lvl 3's indulge in this method...

It's still in the game. He seems to be the only character with two Super Arts.

Dhalsim has 2 version of his Super (Super Up flame, and super straight flame), so he kinda counts!

The designs are fantastic. Though they wouldn't be even 1/3rd as impressive without the quality animation work. There's personality in spades within the motions, and in the game world. The overall presentation is just fantastic, and as previously mentioned, much of what people attribute to Marvel or Alpha today, started off in the DS series.

Art Eater Blog does a great job speaking about just how fantastic the series animation is.

Has there been any footage of Jin being played yet? :3

Posted earlier, this is footage of Frionel playing Jin at a previous event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq3XblXCtBI&t=2m32s

It's probably the best, aside from the time when Armhouse players used him.
 
Something I haven't thought about...are the preorder gems different from the ones in the collectors edition? Also, that is a tricky fire ball from Jin.

Question, how many of the supers we've seen are happy-birthday friendly? One you can use if you catch 2. So many of the supers are cinematic (Hugo's Gigas, Raven's blade super, Heihachi up-punch) and likely will only pick up one of the two characters.

Ryu's fireball, Dhalsim's fire breath can probably pick up two. Are there others?

For reasons stated from others in this thread.

The game has so much style it's amazing, I've never played any other game like it.
