I'm not saying I think the QA team is awful, they do a decent job. But considering they couldn't find the DHC glitch, the spencer glitch, the zero glitch, the captain America infinite, and sentinel shipped with 10 billion health etc. I kind of have a tough time believing that if you faced them against the top players in the world at whatever game that it would be a "bloodbath."

It's really easy to say this when you haven't seen the other fifteen hundred glitches they did fix.

Sentinel health nerf was a knee-jerk reaction to the week 1 Sentinel hate, nothing more.

It was well established that Capcom had to have given MS and Sony the patch before the game was released since the timeframe for getting a patch into MS and Sony's internal QA and published is something like four to six weeks (Unless you are MS, EA or Activision who have their own servers and have less QA hoops to go through) alongside getting an actual release slot for it. So less hate and more a last minute QA decision by Capcom.

I would have tried Skullgirls out at SB6 but I didn't know what JMcrofts looked like and I didn't want to wander up to the 10 or so people around the machines and ask who he was.

So I settled on MvC2 all day.

I think so. It doesn't have the baggage that 3rd strike had since 3rd strike was riding on the numerous Street Fighter 2 characters. "What do you mean my favorite character isn't in this?!" Not to mention coming out near the death of arcades.

It also has a really wicked 2d look that's modern enough not to feel old but will pull in the retro crowd.

There wasn't really a line for the game or anything, you just say you have next, and then you're next, and then you play Skullgirls. Unless someone else had next.

gameshark store has them at a good price. use SRKDOTCOM as a promo code to get 10% off. they might have a bogo sale near christmas like last year too.

also, anyone wanna play AE/3S/MK/tekken/BB/whatever on 360? Just add me GT darkjeffro. I'm not very good and want to learn.

The demand is way up.

Last year there were deals for 2 TE's free shipping for 100$ total. I bought SE's brand new for $20 from dell.

Now, Amazon is paying 55$ for used SE's. :stare:

I agree completely. Although I've been following it through the odd news bit from time to time, SG has really become a MUST HAVE for me in the past week or so. Especially since the UI looks so poo poo hot now, like it's been mentioned before.

3SO apparently did OK, not great, but not enough to get Capcom excited. The original 3rd Strike did horribly when it came out.

I wasn't really that interested in playing the game in its current state. I'm one of those fellows who spends more time in training room than running casuals because I don't learn well on the fly (execution-wise.) I mostly just wanted to say hi to JMcrofts, ask him a few questions about his development experience, then buy him a beer or something because he's a nice guy who often makes posts about random characters that helps me learn a bit more about the matchup.

It just wasn't worth the trouble of going up to a group of people and nervously saying "oh hey is JMcrofts here, I know you from the INTERNET!" Not to mention I get pretty nervous when I'm high and I'm pretty sure Yipes christened our specific room "The Green Roof Inn" so you can imagine.

E: I'm not trying to brag about getting high or something stupid. I have a medical card because of my disease so it is what it is. I just wasn't prepared for this weekend and my brain moves faster than my mouth after I smoke so I played a few rounds of SG then went back to the room for MvC2/SSF4 or whatever. I dunno how some of the people stayed in Momo's all day with how packed and hot it was.

SB6 was pretty loving amazing though and I'll see you all at winterbrawl!

I don't really learn that well on the fly either, but I still wanted to play some casuals because I like playing video games. I did eventually figure out through trial and error which of Peacock's attacks is her launcher (it's standing medium kick). I didn't win a single round but I still had fun :)

I just made an educated guess as to who jmcrofts was, I figured he was the guy who seemed to know the most about the game. I wasn't high though so maybe that helped.

I have been a part of three different FG clubs in my time as a player and all of them have been ended up just being referred to as 'Fight Club/Night'. It's a somewhat cliché name but it instantly conveys what the group is about and it's a lot less awkward to say 'hey you going to fight club this week??' than some other contrived pun that will get old after a week.

And don't even bother with any fighting game subtitle or technique (Giant Attack, Second Impact, Guard Crush, Double Perfect, Option Select, etc.), literally every single one has been used already.
