Yeah. Is the penalty for "two players did not make top eight" cumulative? Let's say I only guessed on AE, and I was wrong on all eight players, would I be at -4 points for the next Goonbats season?

Yes.

I'm kind of wondering if the other 2 Evo games should be on the contest for people who follow those games.

Eightarc is finally taking orders for the Fusion Synthesis and the three eLivePro models.

According to Facebook they only have 300 each of the eLivePros, but no definite number on the Synthesis.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
I downloaded the lovely PS1 port of Darkstalkers 3 on PSN and it's cool, I am enjoying it. Wish it had online play though. Two questions for VSAV people:

1. Post the best LORD RAPTER combos. I worked out this cumbersome 8 hit corner thing with a link to HP at the end but it actually scales really bad

2. When I look at youtubes of tournament level Raptor players they're all about dash/airdash pressure and poking with MP and HP and they're not using his specials at all. What are those good for? I've had good luck with qcb.k on wakeup but that's against the CPU so who knows

Hey, what a coincidence, I just got that yesterday! Sasquatch is still my buddy. (Q-Bee has a really nice airdash, though.)

When, if ever, are you supposed to use Sassy's ice pond super? Is it a response to fullscreen dashes?

It's mostly a gimmick. If you have someone cornered you can hit them with a move that has good frame advantage on block and then input the super immediately, but even then it's not inescapable.

I'm sure you've probably already seen this but whatever. It's also hard to say what applies to the PS1 port since it's probably pretty different like jojo's PS1.

So yeah IAD jump-in short short super

MAKE THE FIGHT. Jojos is a favorite game of mine, and is also one of the obscure games that goons praise endlessly but never play, like Breakers and Vsav. Its an oddity in Capcom games in that its a four button game, has KOF-like short hops and rolls, Marvel-like Advancing Guard and other things, and STANDS. If you've never played before, or are looking for information Stand Crash Wiki has plenty of information on the system and some characters.

For the following week's GBO, we'll be running our first King of Fighters. Some one asked how character teams would be handled, and since SBO has no official ruling on this because they run KoF in singles, there's no precedent. Since GBO is for the people and I am not a very decisive person, lets have a vote on it. MAKE THE CHOICE.

I'd take it to the hardware store and see if you can't replace those round-top screws with something flat. You might need to bevel the plastic a bit to get them to sit flush, but it's a far better solution than trying to Princess-and-the-Pea it with paint or padding.

It's still the best DoA to be in from the look of it so far - I don't envy their task of trying to make the game more respectable without losing the fans it's had before for all the wrong reason, but the steps toward that direction so far have been fairly solid: 1st trailer is males-only, girls are less doll-like with de-emphasized chests, Virtua Fighter characters included almost unchanged (borrowed legitimacy from a game with a reputation for depth and tight execution demands), combat system apparently a bit more refined, etc...

That effort will probably get Tecmo some of my money, at least.

To fit my expectations, nobody did sign up for GBO 4: Jojos. We can even pretend like it didn't happen.


(I made it a round robin so I could lose two matches instead of one)

I am getting pretty bored running these, and I feel the gimmick is starting to run thin for the next month. With that in consideration, I'm cutting SamSho5S, KoF2k2, and the Grab Bag out, and we'll wrap up with A2 instead. That way I can run some other gimmick tournaments instead (Like Mystery SNES games :getin:)

But we soldier on for the next two weeks, and play everyone's favorite King of Fighters

Just picked up the new VF5, I'm finding it a lot more intuitive than Tekken and I'll probably be putting some hours into it.
