Fighting Game News and Speculation 2010

[Maj]

there needs to be an archive of now-obsolete-commonly-thought-best tactics from fighting games. I love hearing this stuff 'cause I'm so new to the whole scene thing, so everything is already prepared to tell me which one to use where. I dig hearing about who used to be best in MvC2, or what people did in A3 before it broke in half

Mind if we continue the A3 discussion here?

[Xenozip.]

Go ahead and move the posts, it wasn't really related to SF4.

OK so back on topic, Guile news: http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php ... ost8654455

I'm a little sad that Ibuki's 3MK slide was nerfed.

Can you jump out on reaction to Yoroi Doushi flash?

Does a reversal dp+P (cmd jump) and rdp+K (penguin kicks) still cause her to be air reset if hit by a meaty?

Is EX DP always cancelable? Hit/block/whiff?

Can you control the trajectory/angle of EX Kunai by leaving stick in neutral versus holding forward?

1- Can you jump out on reaction to Yoroi Doushi flash?

2- Does a reversal dp+P (cmd jump) and rdp+K (penguin kicks) still cause her to be air reset if hit by a meaty?

3- Is EX DP always cancelable? Hit/block/whiff?

4- Can you control the trajectory/angle of EX Kunai by leaving stick in neutral versus holding forward?

1) yes you can jump on reaction
2) doesn't take her off the ground
3) on block or hit only, not on whiff
4) angle isn't controllable.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the game, based on live action movie coming out which is based on a comic that has many videogame references...whew.

1:24 reference to the anime Akira, or really K9999's SDM from KoF 2002, the angle and such. also, scrolling "warning" bar on bottom there looks like some of the scrolling text on SFA3 HUD. at the end of this preview, the "K.O.!" sounds similar A3's announcer, and they actually had the exact sample in the movie trailer...

in the most recent trailer(s), when scott punches out the one dude, it says 'Reversal' towards the bottom. I've read a few of the books, they're ok and all, some bits and pieces of videogame lore here and there, but for the movie/game, someone's been doing their homework, reference-wise.

Bad guys seem to beat up on Scott in what might be a cutscene ala the multi-character-ping-pong supers in NGBC...also a "striker" system, like KoF.
[non fighting-game] the store font looks exactly like EarthBound's. I know there's tons of other references gameplay-wise, but that's a nice little detail. more so than the old school FF damage numbers.
1:43 the girl in the upper right teleports kinda like Dhalsim.

looks like tons of fun.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Comic-Con Character Reveals!

Three more characters. Whee?

You mean four!

[Xenozip.]

Oh right, for some reason my mind kinda blanked out chunners, I mean who didn't expect her anyway?

Also, I wonder about the validity of this http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/jul/ ... fighter-4/

[Doopliss]

Tha in combination with Gootecks source makes it quite probable imo.

[error1]

that Scott Pilgrim game is going to be awesome, I hope the movie doesn't suck
hope they give super-skrull an invisibility taunt or at least a force field move. I feel they did a poor job showing off the power set of some of the older characters. The Jappenese probably think the Hulks main power is control over rocks.
still waiting for spiderman and thor

[Doopliss]

The Jappenese probably think the Hulks main power is control over rocks.

No, they think his main power is GAMMA!

[Xenozip.]

Well his ACTUAL power would be pretty broken in a fighting game. Space gills, man, space-gills.

someone mentioned new psn store avatars of elena, q, hugo etc? maybe they're just avatars...

Thor gameplay footage.
Ookami Amaterasu gameplay footage.

Thor vs Ookami Amaterasu (and others)

[Maj]

Dibs.

I don't even care about his annoying sound bytes. So far my team is Thor/Doom/Ryu.

Hopefully there's at least one more cosmic Marvel character to be announced. (Plus Guile plzkthx.)

[Xenozip.]

I like how Amaterasu has a rapid-fire mouth-cannon. It's like icicle machine gun.

[Maj]

Did you see Captain America punishing Dante for killing Thor with an overkill super at 1:25? That's not good. And could that background be any more distracting? I can already see myself getting thrown for trying to block spaceship fire.

I dig Cap's shield hitting on the way back though. That's going to lead to a lot of hype moments.

Also it's good to see this game continues the trend of Capcom characters being completely outclassed in Marvel games. At least they finally gave Ryu an airdash (along with the worst-looking Hurricane Kick of all time).

[Doopliss]

Thor is in my team, period.

[error1]

Amaterasu and Thor are god tier

[Doopliss]

Indeed. The fact that I'm swedish and my middle name is "Viking" doesn't make the choice any harder either

[Magnetro]

They took his air dash away, btw.

[Xenozip.]

Amaterasu and Thor are god tier

Oh hohoho, a pun. Two puns actually, double the punny.

Gah, didn't think about that XD

Except for Chun who's apparently getting flight and 8-way airdash...

I don't get how Ryu is Servebot but
Law + sonic boom = guile
Bob = Rufus
Dudley - Rose = Steve
Jin + Kazuya + Jinpachi + Heihachi < Dan
