I understand completely.

Is something like this what you are after?

There aren't that many shortcuts in terms of directional input. For some supers though, I can skip inputs and still have it come out, like the 2363214 ones. The input buffer between directions and buttons though, is definitely one of the biggest ones I've ever encountered in a fighting game. After hundreds of hours of play I am comfortable with my timing if I ever wanted to do walk forward, pause, QCF A, and get a fireball and not a DP, but it's still a hassle. SNK would do better to reduce the input buffer.

Uh, you don't need to time shit. The designers knew accepting 626 as a DP could cause problems and made it so if you want to do 6~236+P you can do 6~2369+P and it forces the qcf move to come out.

How could anyone possibly genuinely dislike Karsticles? The man correctly tosses around terms like "extenuated" all willy-nilly, and casual-like. That's awesome enough for me to overlook my deep-seated suspicion that he formulated his username late one night, whilst brainstorming his head into his keyboard.

I doubt anyone remembers lol

But I was the originator of the twitch chat meme "fuck neogaf and fuck karsticles" back in like 2012 (like a year before I registered). I think I also did it to azure something or other. He would get pretty pissed. Was copy/pasted in many Fgc streams for a few months

No legitimate hate, tho. Just stupid fucking around while bored watching streams, your avatar pissed me off, iirc, and I rolled with it.

Hahaha, awesome. I don't think I've ever taken a stream chat seriously enough to get mad about it though. Probably just had a little fun at your persona's expense. :p

Nah ZTS got banned days before he would have made member status lol

He made like 2-3 alt accounts after he got banned, though. Each time, Panda recognized his posting style and would start calling him ZTS. Then he would get banned for making an alt account.

Sounds like he reformed when he joined GAF!


He does have a Marvel Theory Ph.D, after all!


Damn, wow hahaha


I don't use your avatar like that, but I don't like your avatar because I always feel like I want to see the rest of the picture (assuming it's cropped).

I certainly hope people don't read my posts in a robotic voice.

Nope, this is the full picture. In my younger days, I would spend hours on elfwood.com looking through fantasy art. This is just one of the pictures I found one day. The two other pictures I have used on forums are a lich and a demon (SRK avatar).

Frantic said:
I always thought he looked like a guy taking a massive shit that was having difficulties coming out. The low res of the avatar always leads me to think his eye is his eyelid, and he's got his face clenched and teeth barred in the struggle. That might just be (immature)me, though.

Admittedly, I don't really associate avatar's 'mood' with a poster's post. I just use them to quickly recognize someone, really.

As a side note, ZTS was the only person I ever put on an ignore list for any forum(or anything else with an ignore list) I've ever been a part of. He was... something special, let's say.

Best part about Cross Assault.

Damn, harsh on the avatar. He is actually the image for a character I roleplayed back in my D&D days. Psychotic possessed by a demon who frequently fell into violent rampages. Fun to role play. His nam wasn't "Karst", though.

Nah, my name comes from World of Warcraft. I used to go by "Karst" everywhere, and I led a raiding guild. One of my top raiders wanted to make an account trade with a guy on another server, and he wanted me to come check it out. So I made a level 1 character on that server. I tried to name him "Karst", but the name was taken. So I named him "Karsticles", like "Sophocles" and "Heracles", because I really enjoy Greek writings. Everyone thought the new "e" was silent, though, they pronounced it like "testicles". We all had a good laugh. When I signed up for PSN years later, "Karst" was taken, so I used "Karsticles". For the sake of consistency, I started using that everywhere.

Yatagarasu update:

20140709085656-sneak_peek.jpg


Evo 2014
The Evolution Championship Series 2014 begins this Friday and we are pleased to announce that Yatagarasu AoC will be shown at the Indie Game Showcase area and featured in the Mad Catz booth!

Mad Catz has been a great supporter of Yatagarasu AoC since we first started to bring it overseas and we are extremely grateful to them. They have even provided us with some time on their stage to present Yatagarasu AoC.

Yatagarasu AoC overseas localizer and publisher Nyu Media will represent Yatagarasu AoC at the stands, and Yatagarasu dev team member UME-ZONO will be at Evo to compete in the tournament. UME-ZONO will drop by the Yatagarasu AoC stands between matches, so please say hi if you have the chance.

Release Timing
Once again, please accept our apologies for the delay to the release timing. This is primarily due to extremely slow progress with the graphics (specifically, the character pixel art) which is affecting the overall schedule. There are items other than graphics which have yet to be implemented, but once the graphics are complete, we will be able to release an alpha version for our campaign backers to try.

At this stage, it is extremely difficult to give an accurate estimate for the release date, but to give you an idea of the workload: the rate of completion of the graphic data is roughly 4 times longer than we had originally planned.

The pace is slow, but please be assured we are continually working hard to complete the game. Due to the extended delay, we are planning to release an early alpha version prior to beta testing. We are planning to release this as soon as the graphics are completed. In the meantime, thank you for your continued patience and please bear with us.

Work-in-Progress Movie
This is still very rough, but we have prepared an example of how the game currently looks using the placeholder graphics that we introduced in last month’s developer update.

can someone tell me how I can buy a digital key for MvC2 for either PS3 or 360? I want to get it for my bro-in-law.
Click to expand...
Sadly you can't get it anymore. Gamestop doesn't even have codes for it anymore. (They continued selling codes for a short while after the game was delisted)

If you're on PSN and already have it downloaded on your account, you could let your brother in law log into your account and download it.

That's the only solution I can think of.
Embrace the digital future! :(

Serious question: do you only play as black characters in fighting games? Do you refuse to play games without black characters, and vice versa? For example, as GG Xrd has two (I think) black characters, does that make you more interested in picking up the game and maining those characters? I'm not looking to attack you based on your answers, I'm just curious how you feel about this since you seem passionate about racial representation in fighting games.

Aren't Venom and Ramlethal? Or at least they look "anime" black. Anime usually portrays black skin as being of that shade, instead of deeper black tones.
Click to expand...

Man, I just can never tell, with anime. It's like Japan is trying to overcome racial boundaries, one semi-overtly yet watered-down racist depiction at a time.

One day, one day, we shall all be teak.

And be killing each other over the shape of our eyes.

No I don't only play as black characters. No I don't refuse to play games without black characters. I can choose black skins for most characters in KOF so I'm all cleared there ;D

Seriously tho I just don't care for the design of the game. Feels really stiff and these motions breh. I've never played a GG game.. probably won't play them. That game kinda just goes into the same category as BB/Persona of games that look to complicated for me lol

Once you go SF you don't go back.
unless you're juicebox

Plus I didn't even main Cyborg in Injustice!

For the people coming to Evo. Does anyone have an extra mad catz SF or SFxT pad for 360 they can sell me? I was supposed to get one from amazon today but the UPS driver screwed me and said my office was closed. I've been here all day. I can't find any around town at GameStop, best buy, etc.

When I went to UFGT9, Markman was there selling Madcatz products. I recommend PMing him and asking if he'll be bringing some there.

I tweeted Markman and he said he'll see what he can do.
