I don't see any problem with crossdressing Touhou.

For some reason this was skipped in the list updates.

So I'm repeating myself.

I'm claiming Integra Hellsing from Hellsing.

Now I've got two more days (Oh wait, timezones.) to make a decent score run. This probably won't work out with my limited time.

New England?

Integra Hellsing, will you be my bride?



I'm the happiest man on earth.

Any character that doesn't appear in Ten Desires, right? Sakuya, maybe?

Basically I'll just do a scorerun? Well, that's fine with me. Though I've never played that game yet, gonna need a day or two for this.

And what would this event be? I guess you're refering to the first post on this page now, but I'm still clueless.

Hi.



EoSD was my first game, now Sakuya is my waifu because I believe in the whole ex-vampire hunter thing and that's freaking hot beyond believe.


I used to play the danmaku games regularly, especially PCB. I'm still into PoFV and IaMP.

I'm done.

"Turmoil", Skrillex.

Shaving semidaily. I don't like myself having facial hair, no particular reason I'd be aware of.

I read up to "foxnews". Which is basically a TLDR of your entire post, Ethil.

Close to pretty much every game of every genre you can think of has a Touhou spin-off clone somewhere. Some of them are obviously better than others.

Lost Horizon - Again will the fire burn

No way around it, it's the same thing as learning an instrument. It's gonna take a while before getting used to it. People who have fighting game experience with pads usually have a shorter learning curve for sticks because they're already used to the whole idea of how motions and interpretation works, but if you're starting from scratch it's gonna take some time. It took me almost a year before I started getting anywhere reliably with my stick execution, though I'm a slow learner myself.



Chun's close st.RH is jump cancelable, and superjump startup in turn is super cancelable. You have to get the super out during a specific frame window where she's preparing to jump. It's similar to a tigerknee. If you're familiar with japanese notation it would look like this: 2369236, where it reads 2369 as a superjump forward, yet still recognizes the 236236 as a super input. Don't worry about this if you're just starting out, seriously.

I'd recommend you a Hori. A Real Arcade Pro 3 or a VX model, if you have them available. They're efficient and durable, they can easily be modified but don't really need to be if you're just starting out.

Things to watch out for Arcade Sticks usually include case size/total weight, button sensitivy, stick sensitivity and restrictor gates which determine the number of edges for the joystick (There's also the quality of the PCB involved but you don't have to worry about that as long as you're not working with custom made sticks.). All of these are things of personal preference, though I would strongly recommend you avoiding octagon gates, good thing squares are the common and featured in both models. The most common brands for the individual parts are Seimitsu and Sanwa, Seimitsu being known for not being very sensitive and requiring a lot more force on your inputs, easily shutting down unwanted motions. Sanwa being the opposite and really sensitive to the slightest touch, allowing you to play with more ease but requiring more precision.

The RAP3 comes with a Sanwa stick and custom Hori buttons mimicing Sanwa, I played a long time on those and I have to say they're really not bad, I've seen people question their durability but I used them for over a year before I exchanged them and they're all still perfectly fine. The VX model comes with full Sanwa parts. Personally, I'm a pure Sanwa player and it's not a bad choice to start out with.

Been looking at that game now. Some stuff:

While the music is generally bad received from what I've heard, I like it a lot. Especially Elena's remix, thank god. I hate her original theme so much.

There's a lot of discussion going on about it being faulty in terms of input delay etc, but after hours of play I didn't notice any issues on a PS3. Yun combos were the usual, Ken 1F super links were the usual, Parrying felt the same as always - and I played most of my time on the PS2 version, which is rumoured to have a speed difference as well. Whatever. I've heard reports from fameous players who say the opposite - and I take their word over my own, actually - but I don't feel those issues, so I'm fine.

The trials are ridiculous. I'm playing this game for a while now and I didn't even know some of this shit is possible. It's like random combos they took out of TAS demonstration videos. Why would they have beginners practice this, please someone tell me.

Those sprite filters looked like ass. The twins became a coloured mass of blur - I just turned everything regarding that off as quickly as possible.

The achievement sidebars, the menues etc are annoying. It just doesn't look like they put effort into it. I really hate some of those new health bar icons, I can't even recognize what Q's supposed to do in his - although the character select artwork is enjoyable. Makoto looks even more like a guy now.

What's really irritating me is how it keeps asking both players about Character select/Continue while bugging you with achievement gains and the like after every match - why do both players , taking turns, have to confirm a million times in order to get a simple rematch done? It's like in BlazBlue where you set the game to BO5 so you don't have to deal with the menu and loading times as much and can actually play the damn thing. It's the same on the PS2 version where it leads you back to the Character Select after every match, but Capcom did it right in HDR, why not this port too?

That "brand new" online mode thing goes past me, I've been playing 3rd Strike online for a year now, why do I see so many people pretend they can now "finally" play it? I don't get it. Competition is a lot worse than on the old GGPO lobby as well. Not just brand new players, but a lot of people trying to play this like it's SF4 now. It started becoming that way on other online lobbies when 3SO was announced, so I was prepared.

TL;DR: Other than the music there is absolutely no reason for me to get this game. Well, I guess it does give my inner achievementwhore something to work with.

By the way Zak, what happened to your thread in the Art forum? I took a quick look and couldn't find it, I guess you're not updating anymore? I actually enjoy your art since it's heavy on monstergirls.



I assume this is directed at myself, not at Zak - do we know each other?
