Excellent review by haunts (NeoGAF misses you!)... This should be taken as the standard for how fighting games should be reviewed. Your review and Arlieth's quick magazine review really got the message across that would satisfy A) the competitive fighter's interest B) the anime freak fanboy and C) the casual gamer. Good job.

Ok,

Got the game. Not sure what I'm in for since I've never played one of these types of Aksys games. Plus, I'm about as casual as can be with fighters.

Just gonna play Noel...since she is really cute. I traditionally play Chun-li in Street Fighter so I hope I'm not in for a shock.

Wow, nice.

That is the golden standard for fighting game reviews. Explains everything new players need to know about the HUD and game system. :eek:

My BB should arrive tomorrow.

Shit.

I just called EB and apparently the game got pushed back to Friday the 3rd in Canada. (or at least in B.C.) And my day off happens to be on Thursday. =/

Game is pretty nuts. Just finished arcade mode with Hakumen. I knew people said every character plays completely different but didn't know it would be this much. It's pretty awesome.

Anyone else getting jagged text on Type A and B displays?

Did anyone in Toronto luck out?

I spoke to one EB and they told me that about 20 other people asked about the game before I showed up. I'm really glad I preordered.

He got banned for talking about bringing Tasunuko Vs. Capcom or whatever it's called to Xbox and PS3 because being Wii only hurts it's chances for competition because fewer fighting game players have the platform, or something like that. Sentiments that most of the fighting game community probably agrees with.

Yeah.

Dunno how this works. My HDTV is 1360x768, or I guess 768p you would say? (not a tech guy). I have my 360 hooked through VGA which means all my games run native resolution. I don't know what the hell Blaze is rendering at native, guessing 720p but instead of just letting my game upscale it Blaze wants to upscale itself which results in jaggy text :(

Not sure exactly what is going on here. Option B is letterboxed and the text is still a little jaggy. Is there a fix?

Ehh, the story isn't that bad. It's standard shonen anime fair to me....the visual novel aspect to it is a bit of a turn off but it's enjoyable

Does anyone know how to save matches that you have watched? I had seen some great matches earlier that I would have liked to save (But did not see an option to do so).

Copy should be showing up tomorrow. I hate UPS though. Knowing my luck, they'll show up right after I have to leave for work. If it were FedEx, I'd probably have it tomorrow morning. :(

That makes sense. GAF moderators don't like the "I wish it could be on [this platform]" type of comment.

But, he was probably correct.

Bottom line: TvsC is probably gonna do rather poorly on the Wii Domestic despite being based on the hardware.

At the very least I'm hoping that SFIV, BB, and KoF will lead to moderate sales of TvsC on the system here in the US. I definitely would like to see some type of peripheral release for the title...but I'm not holding my breath.

I think I'm gonna focus on Litchi for now; the staff girl. Anyone use her?
Click to expand...
That's who I picked up and decided to play as so far (PS3 version). I really like her moves and seem to be doing prettly well with her so far. If you're looking for tips for her though I wont be of much help yet as I am just getting a grip on all of this myself.

Fuck player matches. Waiting in a lobby only to have the host disconnect when it's your turn is the worst.

What's the difference between Arcade and Console under the "System" option?
Click to expand...
I think just different attract FMVs and you can't use the unlockable console exclusive astral heats.

How do you get the other characters' astral finishes, anyway? I've only been playing online since I got the game and have no idea. Is it just from clearing arcade mode once?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I unlocked Noel's by beating arcade.

Ferrio said:
Bah that's the character I was eyeing. I'll have to break this cycle. Though god I hope she isn't boring, or it's litchi for me.
Click to expand...
Maybe it's because I've mainly been playing Japanese dudes in the 20s and 30s, or maybe it's because I've been playing Noel myself, but I've only run into a few other Noels so far. In my experience there hasn't been an overwhelming favorite character yet.

Though I'm sure I'm a flowchart Noel because I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing still. Kinda wish I had that instructional DVD now!

Alright everybody. If you have the game check the back of the game case and see if you notice any typos in the story description area. I don't know if it was intended or not.

Tokubetsu, sorry for not battling but I had literally turned on the game a minute prior. Let me get a little decent at it for a few days. I did accept the friend request.

Loading is damn quick on the 360 version with the install! Fuck, those backgrounds are pretty.

No worries and thanks DrFunk, I'm kinda waiting on pro-gaf to show up and kick my ass though. I'm trying to focus on Ragna for now but im enjoy Nu a lot.

This game is pretty awesome

I did training a bit with all the character and am doing the story mode with each character, but I don't understand why Ragna says Cleared when it's only 39%

just based on training, I think I like the Noel, Litch and Taokaka the most.

First offline battle I had with my Noel was against Rachel. Rachel is so adorable with her dress. So tempted to play her. What is she like?

I don't know how else to describe her as extremely trap oriented? BG/Enviromental control so in a way, anti rushdown.

EDIT: I could see her weather control being the bane of an Arakune players existence as well.
