I know I'm excited for that. Q, Twelve, and Elena were my favorite characters style-wise, but really the only mechanics thing you've got there is that Elena shits on Twelve hard.

Training mode. Can't lose your e-honor.

When I get a new fighting game I have to practice execution for a while because I am literally so bad at it that people stop playing me after two rounds or so.

The throw tech tutorial is kind of bad because the game makes it so you have to hit the buttons as you get grabbed, while in a real game you can push it a second or so before and get safe.

Just mash grab and you'll be fine.

This should probably be in the OP or something. It's kind of a big deal for new players. Or not, I don't know.

Anyone have any good Painwheel combo vids? Everyone I talked to, literally everyone says she's utter trash, and I'm inclined to agree, but I refuse to believe she doesn't have some kind of redeeming factor.

Watch the archived stream that chilldog (jmcrofts) posted a page or two back where he owns the guy streaming with his Painwheel/Peacock/Double team.

I love the start of rounds where both people are using double assis because it's whoever calls double second wins, it's a pretty hilarious game of chicken.

It's like this with more butt.

I couldn't resist I'm sorry.

Ah okay. I misread what was talked about and that the amount I guess gives her double or triple the frames of invincibility[?]

That can be the case without her being invincible throughout the whole thing.

The other thing is that board games are much slower. You can explain to someone during a turn what's going on with board control and possible upcoming mates and stuff. In fighting games everything happens really fast. Also, with online play nobody's going to help you understand what you did wrong, because it's some random guy you're never going to see or talk to again.

With the launch of Xbox live on PCs with Windows 8 things might change though.

Wait what, gently caress. Can't wait to play 50 bucks a month to play PC online.

Edit: Plus XBL never cost that much. Maybe youre thinking per YEAR?

Yeah my bad, sorry. Still sucks though. I mean it's not much, but I am a penny pincher think it's kind of silly that Xbox is the only console where you have to pay to play online.

I'm guessing grapplers feel unfair to new players because all their flailing barely makes a dent since they can't actually do damaging combos, and then one command grab shears off 20~40% of their life.

Day One Grappler Syndrome pretty much.

e: just slap a skullgirls skin on puyo pop like 2/3 the characters in that game are girls already

Surprisingly it would actually make Puyo less anime. It's no Mean Bean Machine but I'll take it. I love the hell out of Puyo either way.
