Double post like a boss but games tonight were fun, next time we come down it will be around 5 or so. Then the serious matches can happen maybe I will become a "real wario" some day :).

Your next monthly will have SFxT right?

No gems, 2v2, that stage with master hand only.

I have decided to play Lily and Asuka. Also color edit mode whoo~

Street Fighter x Tekken Scramble Mode is NOTHING like smash brothers. But it doesn't look fun :-D

@Joker: Can you set aside my water bottle and gloves :-\ I think i left them again.

Hey Iowa,

Trying to get a handle on who's coming down for my tourney. I know Brandon and Colin want to go, so more people should go with them please :)
Really the only other 2 people who travel for smash right now are Dustin and I so if he isn't going is probably cause he has work as for me I'm going to a Marvel tourney that day ^.^

I've been playing through the game again on PSN actually, in preparation for Xenoblade.

Xenostar's was way cooler is all.

It doesn't work how I expected, but the end result has potential.

I didn't expect much, but they somehow messed up things I really didn't think you could mess up. However that doesn't have to be a bad thing. So far its pretty fun so we'll see how long it lasts.

My problem lies mostly in the Tekken characters and lack of oki game. Many Tekken chars have a ton of useless chains and command normals, however this is not unlike how actual Tekken is...

Many of them are also gimmicky and don't work well in the 2D world. For example they have command grabs that only hit you standing, or certain strings or mix-ups that will never hit against people that know the match-up. King was probably the one I looked forward to the most in this regard but he has one of the worst grapple games. He has THREE grabs (crouching, standing, anti-air) and none of them are throw invulnerable and they're all very reactable because of the start-up. Many command grabs in general seem to have about 5frame start-up. Their only advantage being they aren't normal grabs, which have awful ranges in this game.

This does not help most people at all because rolls are pretty much free escape. There is almost no oki game whatsoever. Backdashes are also still invincible as well so there are plenty of free escapes in this game. Not to mention the issue of grapplers eating fireballs to roll in on you. And if you do something unsafe there's always tag cancel.

These don't necessarily have to make the game bad, but the game is designed poorly imo. Not that I expected much else from a Capcom crossover game headed by Ono.

@Blank: The game is fun for a casual game without a doubt. IDK if it will be competitive...and you are SOOOOOOOOoooooooo right about those rolls. I would have people trapped and doing a good rushdown and they would just roll away. That would piss me off so much!

yeah! what Blank said... >.>

well not really because I'm not a fgscientist. I do, however, enjoy Jin and Xiaoyu. They're Tekken characters but it's still fun to me. Like PCity said, casually, it's awesome.

I will be playing TTT2 though. And I don't have BBCS EX :O
GGXXAC on PSN, peoples. be happy now (for those nuggets that complain about BB)

@Dustin: I don't know if you knew this, but here is the PCity Diddy gameplan... not much has changed since its original publication 2 years ago.

How to be PCity's Diddy in 5 easy steps:

1. Run Around / Act a Fool
2. Play with Bananas/Peanuts (See 1)
3. Force Off Edge
4. Spike
5. Spike
