It's really easy for me to quit stuff.
I was drinking soda and eating meat one day, and then the next day, I wasn't.

Yeah I'm the same. I haven't drank soda or coffee or an energy drink in like 10 years. Sometimes I wish I could quit fighting games that easily.

The whole bitch drink thing is the funniest shit. I'll enjoy a tasty drink and get drunk while you can suffer drinking piss for the same effect.

and yes, yes I did. I even got asked to do it again twice after. 3rd time was the funniest cause it was a group of guys that said the girls were full of shit cause I guess they were talking about my package and they were getting jelly and wanted to talk shit or something. Me drunk = I give no fucks mode.

Had a dude that came to a party that looked like Shaggy from scooby doo. He said he was hungry I went and got a box of milkbones and handed it to him

Oh man, I'm dying.

Yeah people always give me shit for drinking cocktails and stuff. I will happily enjoy it while you cringe drinking that scotch.


Edit: and those lows worked on Noel

Yeah you gotta stay in her ass once you get in on her. She kind of just has to take it. But it can be a bit hard to get all the way in on her with her normals, fast move speed and drive. It's just something you'll get used to over time.

If I'm there I'll make it the last time I drink. The handy thing about drinking for me is... I'm always sitting.

That's like my least favorite style and the reason I usually don't like ArcSys games. I don't mind the crazy design but balancing it turns out to be shit most of the time.

The more anime games I play, the more I feel like I'm with Shouta on this one. I'll probably change my mind after getting into a pure honest game though.

Soda freaks me out so much more than alcohol. *shudders*

I'm just so used to it, but I know I probably won't vomit from drinking soda.

QisTopTier said:
Stop drinking soda man, it's really really bad. If you need a pick me up drink start drinking tea
Click to expand...

Yeah, I know. I've been getting more and more stressed lately so I've been drinking more and more. It's tough kicking the habit :\

If I go to something else it'd probably just be ice water or if I could find some healthy type of fruit juice.

I agree as well.. Though I love GG.. BB is turning into shit for me personally. Overall it's a great game but the updates they have make no sense.. I would never have thought I'd be playing Tag 2 over it and I am actually better at BB than I am Tekken..
 
Shouta said:
My goal if I meet them in the tournament is to send one to losers at least >=o

I almost got Daigo, so I got this now that I have a real char!
Click to expand...

...but boss man, what if Daigo surprises you and picks another character than the character he's been winning with?

I feel like Persona is different from GG/BB in this regard- am I crazy?

That said, Persona has a bit of a ST feel in terms of balance to me.

I like Arcana because I feel it's fairly honest at its core.

Persona is the same.. GG probably is the most honest but none of them are that honest.. Arcana Heart has too much movement.. I think if they were going to have homing they didn't need jump cancelling.. It's overkill and that is an Examu game.. I have no problems with honesty.. I just think ASW drops the ball when trying to balance the game each time they release a patch..
 
Honestly I don't think ArcSys cares a whole lot about balance overall. I think they just try to make sure they have system mechanics in place that make sure things don't get too out of hand then do wacky changes to see what people come up with. I mean there is typically a reason behind the changes you can see. But for the most part it doesn't feel like the cast is ever really balanced around each other but what they are too good at and what they are ass at.

Psh, Chocolate Milk is my #1 drink for fighting games. It calms me down and keeps me constantly relaxed.
Click to expand...

I need more chocolate milk in my life tbh.

Personally, I mostly only drink water, milk, and soda with no interest in alcohol. Soda is "usually" only on weekends and special occasions, but college's kinda made it a daily thing lately (usually only one can a day though).

As for the balancing talk, I'm more on Team Anime/Marvel here, but I feel both that and more honest games need to coexist.
 
Another thing I notice is when I played BB and tried to play other 2D fighters, I would miss inputs on the other games.. It seems too different from everything else and I like to play almost everything.. I feel like I may get back into it, but there are other fighting games being released soon that I have a bigger interest in.. Also there are fighting games already released that I felt like I regret quitting and want to get back in..

Could be because BB chain combos have a timing aspect to them unlike chain combos in most games due to long start up times on some stuff.

Like when I go from BB to GG I drop combos because I'm not pressing stuff as fast as possible in chains and such because I'm doing the slower input style BB has

Exactly!! Imagine going from BB to KoF 13.. It's HORRIBLE!!! I went from CSEX to 13 and it was almost like I just purchased KoF..

Hello. I am a fighting game fan. I am also a huge scrub. Scrubbin bubbles level scrub. But I like to play and hopefully get better. I own almost every fighting game on my inferior seXbox 360's market place aside from the following: Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken 6, BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, and Soulcalibur 4. I have literally everything else. From the Mahvels to the Morrtal Kombats to P4A to King of Fighters to SONIC THE FIGHTERS. I have it all besides what I listed and that list is only temporary.

Anyway I play UMVC3 the most but I am always down to play one of my many titles. Like I said I play on my plebeian peasant Xbox 360 so if you too are inferior and want to beat up on a scrub like me, PM me for details. I don't rage quit, I don't talk trash, I don't catch feelins. I just like to play fighting games with people and hopefully learn from them. Hope to see some of you in the ring!

Hey there new FGer! Basically there are a lot of different players that mainly play different set games here, so you have a lot of people to choose from to play with, if you play UMVC3 the most, make sure you check out the UMVC3 OT here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=636566

Also if you do want to play, its better to post in this thread AND the game's OT thread too, because it will help you get more people to play with you.

Just you let you know, if you want help for any game, just make a post in the OT of the game you want help with, and people will most likely will help you with your game!

Have a good time fellow GAFer!

Fucking christ. I enjoy anime games but not the shit that comes with it. I'd really like to be able to enjoy anime but the shit is just too goofy. I swear I've seen like 3 decent anime shows in the last 5 years.

Attack on Titan is fucking boss though.

Haha really? Had no idea. I might watch the story modes on youtube one day.

I don't have the stats to back up what I'm about to claim but it's just what I think. I think when arcsys create balance patches they do it partly to keep current players interested in the game and to get people who may have dropped it to come back. In other words it's all about the yen, they don't really care about overall balance because they know that keeps the game interesting and gives them a reason to do more patches when ever money slows.
 
Glad I never understood the appeal of alcohol.



I have a sneaking suspicion E3 is going to be insane this year - at least for MS. Blowing your load this early with Halo news and a price drop?


Maaaaaan.
