Don't know if you noticed the character points but I've but a fair amount into Akane when the game first came out. I manage to be one of the top Akane players in it's first week, somehow. ha I played it quite a lot with other gaffers for a few weeks. Then it died down and I haven't gone back since.

I read up on the wiki then as well, so I know about some of the attributes of a few arcanas and cast. Like Akane's 5C is air unblockable on the second it.

Yeah, I definitely noticed that your Akane is really good. I found myself at a loss several times when fighting her and I got really suspicious of that air 5C. The game is really fun, though. I mean, I'm just surprised by how fun it turned out to be. I started to get a feel for the characters and it just sorta clicked. The online was also super smooth which definitely helps.
Edgeward said:
I really only know how to play Akane, although I messed around with Eko, Petra and Kira. But I only know combos for Akane now, everyone else I was abc-ing and figuring stuff out on the fly. The grab super was amazing hype. I never actually get it to even come out in a real match since the game's inputs don't have SF shortcuts. But grapplers are low tier. ;-;
Click to expand...
I remember Mike talking about how that grappler girl was a big inspiration for Cerebella and those gigantic legs/arms jutting out of the jello immediately rang alarm bells in my head. Also, Catherine is freaking hype. You really seemed to know what you were doing with her. It's a neat little game despite how offputting some of the designs can be(some of these girls need back braces). I kinda got a feel for how the arcanas are supposed to work now and I like it. Luck is the most fun for me right now. How did I do?

There's no person on GAF who deserves to be taken under FChamp's wings more than God's Beard (he's from Norcal, he plays Magneto and he loves him some FChamp). He needs to be polished into a top player by the best.

But the rent is too steep, someone needs to negotiate that shit.

To Solar,

I think you Zenia is the best of the bunch you messed around with. Had a good rhythm and knew some good, easy combos. And also Konoha was good too.

I know Catherine because of Hito lol. I just copied some of the stuff he would do to me. I know fuck all about her normals though.

And yes, I wish this system was put into something less weird because it is a really deep system and most of the characters are really different. And the sidebar art/animations don't help attracting new players.

I hate Luck because you can randomly fall out of combos. I could've used Fiona more, but I hate her. Cheapest character in the game.

I still wish people still played it and it come to PC. There will be an arcade update in the winter AH3 LoveMAX!!!! so maybe one of my wishes will come true.


Probably not.

Maybe it's my optimism speaking, but maybe they give that high a figure to see who is serious about staying there for the long-term, then drop the actual price when they choose someone.

Shouldn't you highlight Darkstalkers Resurrection and its OT in the OP, enzo?

Crap, forgot all about this whilst making the DS tournament bit. I'll update in the morning. It's already highlighted in the Community section though, if that's what your asking.

YO WTF AT THAT RAW TAG COMBO

This guy was doing really damn good but looks like FChamp woke up. Everyone is dropping combos too, I think it may be the system/monitors.

EDIT: Apologyman vs. PR Rog is up. Hype!

Apologyman deserves to be in the 5 man squad for Norcal.

Vergil players should just drop their controllers when incoming against a leveled up Frank. GG next game etc.
