Ayano buffing Ryu's dp!

Well I know who I'm going to play when I finally pick up Ultra!
 
I do it based on animation I suppose. Best way for me is to do the link as late as possible, even if it doesn't connect. Then work from then and do it slightly earlier each time. And yes, plinking helps for 1 frame links, but I try to do it on most of my links. What it does is gives you an extra input on a frame. So a 1 frame window essentially becomes two.

So doing HP~MP will result in the inputs looking like

Frame 1: HP
Frame 2: HP MP

Ah yes. I've heard of plinking, but it feels awkward for me to plink LK and LP. I feel like maybe the way I place my fingers on the buttons. But I'll start trying to do it that way.

I was practicing that same Yang combo a few weeks ago, and I prefer to focus on the timing and get the right rhythm to do it

Do you have the rhythm down now? I still feel like I'm mashing it out. =/

try to look for the ultrachen episode on doing combos and links. all you need is to have the bop bop in your head.

Is it the Marvel to Street Fighter: Links episode? I'll watch it now! Thanks!
 
They should just say screw it and go Rainbow Edition with the new Street Fighter. I need a wall of sonic booms to interest me again.
Something always gets me about modes where they throw all notions of balance and restraint out the window and give everybody overpowered adolescent shonen fantasy moves. Rainbow SF2, Unlimited mode in Blazblue, Reinforced Little Fighter 2

I don't remember. But plinking is great. Also double tapping. Double tap for the jabs/shorts and plink everything else if you have to. If you want to try double tapping, practice Sagat's fake kick which is double tapping roundhouse.
 
I don't really see any discussion going on about this, am I late? Free to play Dead or Alive released (releasing?) on PSN today.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate : Core Fighters

"unlimited online play, fight as much as you want"

Is this the future?
 
Just played about 15 minutes of training mode in Chaos Code.

I have no idea who I should play as. No one really appeals to me so far.
 
So this anime fighter called Chaos Code is out on PSN today as a stealth release. Anyone know if it sucks?

I've played a bit at my local. It seems like a typical anime fighter. There are actually different variations of the certain characters that aren't shown like ex characters in kof.

Man, I had it down when I was trying to play Yang, but now that you mentioned it, I went to training mode and I can't do it anymore :lol
The timing is horrendous, and when you finally get it, you realized it didn't even reach 150 damage...WHY ONO?! COMBOFIEND PLS

I know it doesn't have online yet.

No online is an automatic pass for most people, so Disco gave the best impression already.

Chaos Code's decent. Not everyone likes the fact that you have to choose your movement or extra moves, but the game's movement and hit effects are on point, even if the animation is limited.
 
Seeing how bad Capcom's been with keeping these things from leaking I'm betting that we'll know who it is far before Capcom announces anything.
Or maybe the reveal is set for Capcom Cup but will leak by TGS!

Still betting on Capcom Cup for the official reveal.

Yeah, they revealed Ultra SFIV at EVO, so it makes sense for a final announcement at another big tournament, specially their own big tournament
 
Man, I just hope they're far along in development on that Lupin the 3rd action-adventure game that they can show us something, shit's gonna be HYPE
 
No, Sony already announced their line-up, The Last Guardian wasn't there

Wouldn't count out the other two though, until further notice

also, you just know Nintendo gonna have it's own little ND around that time, so be on the look out for dem 2D HD Metroid bombs
 
I have never understood people's obsession with Demon's Souls 2.

That game is already out, it's called Dark Souls. The only people who want Demon's Souls 2 are Sony fanboys so they can thump their chests about their shiny new exclusive. If Sony was ever to make a Demon's Souls 2 without the original creators of the Souls series it would be a much more "streamlined" game and missing a lot of the appeal of the other Souls games.

I still believe in The Last Guardian. This time is its time.

Being exclusive makes a game better

It's called Dark Souls 2.

People want more than one Dark Souls game per year? Then they will start complaining about annual sequels and milking the cow.

It is like saying we can only have one fighting game a year. If they made Demon Souls 2 obviously it wouldn't be a copy paste of the old Dark Souls 2 just as Dark Souls wasn't a copy paste of Demon Souls.

There is really nothing to lose here. A PS4 souls game, even if it is a year or two away would be great.

It dilutes the IP that's what. It's not that you can't have more than 1 fighting game per year... you can't have more than 1 series of fighting game per year (ie. more than one Street Fighter a year).

Diluting an IP is one of the fastest ways of killing it off. That's what you lose when you release more than one game in a series per year. There's also no guarantee that Demon's Souls 2 would be a quality product without the original team behind it.. chances are it wouldn't be.

You can have a SF4 update and SF3 online. Same game but different.

Either way until further notice there is no next-gen souls game so an announcement would be welcome. Not as welcome as another next-gen fighting game, but I think there is little hope of that at this stage.
 
I have never understood people's obsession with Demon's Souls 2.
Some people preferred the way that Demon's Souls was split into individual stages to the open world setting of Dark Souls.
I love them both. I hope Dark Souls 2 will live up to the hype.
