Huh, I was just thinking about this franchise a couple weeks ago. I had tons of fun with Primal Fury on the Gamecube, though I never did bother with any other game in the series.

Uranus is the most broken, braindead character in any fighting game ever. She's like Krizalid with Wolverine's control scheme. :argh:

I'm speaking relatively in a game where some characters have intentionally built-in infinites, among other things.

There you go rubens, all your fault! You went on the wrong side of the car!
Kind of old news now, but Komidol was in Japan to attend the MB Hydra Championships and speak to the developers about the game's future outside of Japan. You should probably read this if you have even the slightest interest in Melty, some interesting stuff and also plenty of fun tidbits about the best Melty players in Japan.

Here's the important part:

quote:

Me and Korean CL went into this discussion with Manabe with the same idea – we want to bring Melty to a larger scale outside of Japan, and have Ecole considering more institutions for melty that stronger fighting games have in the world today (along the lines of popularity that Street Fighter and Blaz Blue have).

First we expressed our reluctance about the PC release of Current Code v1.07, positive that the piracy would not be good for the game. We wanted to see a release for the game on console, and ask what plans Ecole had for something like that in the future.
I expressed to Manabe that America even had the bigger of issue of being a huge country where lag would be a huge problem.
I told him directly about how Evo was a huge chance for advertisement and promote the game, how hard we struggled to get it there, and that there is a real English market who wants to buy this game if those options were considered.
Korean CL also brought up how difficult the tournament scene was for PC releases, how people would show up to tournaments and not know how to use arcade sticks (they have cabs in Korea), and how the tournament scene for this game is suffering outside of Japan.
We both affirmed that a PS3 release, even if not in English, would be better because PS3 is not region locked the way that PS2 is. I explained to him the difficult process of accessing the game in America because of the need for Japanese PS2′s (of course I didn’t mention we usually mod our stuff). It was a little bumpy but I think we got all our major points across to him.
We also asked about the possibilities of net play for MBAACCPC.

Here is what we got back from him.

Every copy of MBAACCPC will come with a key issued to each copy of the game in order to install the game. This is to prevent pirating. - Ecole is aware of the netplay situation and what happened with MBAC.
They strongly intend to implement MBAACCPC with netplay. It will either be directly available at launch, or be patched into the game later. They will have a central server to find matches, but are still considering options like a ranking system. Those also may be implemented in later patches. You *will* need aforementioned key to access these functions. He told us this directly, and firmly. For those of you who remember the no-jump doujin fighter Gleam of Force (also by French Bread), I believe the netplay will be coded similarly since it also used a serial key and match system. Since there is a central server planned, we asked him to implement a direct play available as well to ease the lag for foreigners (French Bread was planning the exact opposite of this.)
There is a lot of corporate politics around Melty Blood. Frenchbread (which is a small developer and as they stated in their last NicoNico Douga cast, not considering the foreign market), Ecole (which doesn’t have a significant amount of funds to promote internationally), and TypeMoon (which is not convinced that it’s influence extends internationally) are all very hesistant at this time to put out an English release or PS3 release at this time. Those are all very resource heavy and very costly, and it would be a do-or-die risk for them as a business to make a release that big at this point in time.
However, it is *not* impossible. He said while looking at the report and hearing about Evo he was *very* surprised at the support abroad for Melty Blood. Manabe said he would want to consider further options for a foreign or console release after UniB is released (it is scheduled for Spring) so they are running more franchises. This way it would be less of a risk for them to release a game should they take a potential loss. Furthermore, America is a very hard market to break into politically (copyright laws and such).

I'm looking to get into KOF XIII when that drops (provided that the netcode is good) would I gain anything from playing KOF XII or are they totally different gameplay wise?
I know that the online is unplayable but is the game itself any good?

I haven't played XII, but I understand that they are different enough that you might just as well play a good game instead (98/2002).

That is double bad, smash players are bitchy enough anime con smash players are the bitchest loving thing ever, my friend ran one year because he ran a good number of smash tournies at the time, it went horribly, pretty much everyone complaining was a terrible scrub and had no chance of winning anyways and they were complaining about the most mundane stuff, that didn't even matter that much.

The comic shop near me used to have a fight club I went to, but the Smash/Wii kids were always by themselves. No one would bother playing Smash, so some of them went to other games like MvC3 and AE. I left the event after beating one of them a few times because I couldn't take his antics (he'd whine how I was predictable despite I beat him a bunch of times with Gief, Dan, and Sagat). The manager and I made fun of the Wii kids on Live.

Yup. Also 2k2 is a little closer to how 13 plays anyway.

The one thing I miss about XII are those awesome hit effects when you land a Critical Counter. Those were probably the only good parts of that game. :/

The answer to this quandry is obviously Jackie Chan. My friends and I have been running sets in that game again lately and it's so fun. Takes approximately 5 seconds to be good at that game.

Okay, I've been trying to practice Super Turbo on GGPO, but I've sort of run into a problem. I'm new obviously, so I'm bad at the game. There are only two or three people on at any given time from the US or Canada, and they stop playing after two matches or less most of the time because I'm bad. I tried going on goonsgarden but haven't had much luck getting people to play against me.

Basically my problem is that I have no idea how to practice anything other than execution if I can't get people to play me. How do I find more people to play Super Turbo against me once in a while?

It's pretty tough, sadly. You really need to just keep doing that and you'll eventually build a small list of people you can IM and ask "hey want to get some games in." Try Supercade as well.

Discussion of Smash as a legitimate fighting game is not allowed (because its loving not) however making fun of the game and its terrible community is a tradition that has long been upheld within these threads, and I'm pretty sure was started by me.

The funny thing is Mew2King (pro smash player known for being super awkward and jizzing on people's beds) was posting on his Facebook asking for advice on what to do as a job that Metaknight is banned and he's not going to play Smash bros anymore, as he has never had a real job in his life and is 22 years old with no work experience.

As for Bloody Roar I remember that game being really bad but there was this one dude who looked like the guy from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas that could turn into a chameleon and he was pretty dang cool!
