" @mubress: welcome back dude... go get super ;p 
@Rhaknar: i was playing vs all weekend and didn't notice any frame rate problems... but to be fair there was copious amounts of alcohol involved in that playing not sure if im feeling the game tbh... have more fun random selecting and mashing buttons than i do sitting down trying to learn shit  "

"not sure if im feeling the game tbh... have more fun random selecting and mashing buttons than i do sitting down trying to learn shit  "

" Its a shame seeing how hyped I was about it, but im just forcing myself to play it for whatever reason now, i should just drop it "

The only things stopping me from playing this game more is school work and the fact that online play is butt for this game. There's a lot more to learn but I'm having way more fun than I ever did with any recent fighting game I've played in the last few years.

If I knew several people I could play IRL on a consistent basis I would probably have already put more time into this game than SSF4.

Different fighting games for different people I guess. And I'm not gonna lie, if MK9 is solid MvC3 will get shelved.

"if MK9 is solid..."

@GetEveryone: Honestly all I'm worried about with MK9 from what I've seen is the core gameplay. The roster seems good from what's been revealed (and hinted), and there doesn't seem to be any stupid easy comeback bullshit (though I'm curious to see how X-ray moves will be) like most other games nowadays (Ultras, rage mode, level 3 X-factor, etc.). I don't even care if it doesn't play like UMK3, as long as the overall fighting mechanics are solid.

But if it turns out to be bad or too broken, I'll just keep playing MvC3 until I get bored of it.

i think im just not into fighters as i used to be when i was a wee lad. Im excited about Mk, but in the same sense im always excited about MKs. I play them for a bit, mainly to do all the fatalities, and thats about it. I never took them seriously, so I guess i cant be disapointed. But yeah, starting to think im just not into fighters that much anymore. Oh well

@GetEveryone: The big deal about MK9 is that right now its all speculation. MvC3 got playtested at every major event in the months leading up to it by the public. MK9 hasn't gotten that. You can't determine how a fighting game plays just watching videos released by developers. As far as I know, X-ray moves are flashy as hell and do a lot of damage, but it uses your entire meter, which could also be used for breakers and EX moves. No idea how these things work (do they need to be combo'd or do you just throw them out and hope for the best?) from what I've seen though.

Tekken is actually really fun though. Didn't like T6 but T5: DR is the shit. People think its incredibly boring and mash friendly but thats hardly the case. If anything, its a 3D version of SF, its all footsies and spacing (as well as knowing your combos), but no projectiles and just less flashy.

finally got online today. spent a few wasted minutes trying to join some random lobbies, but everyone quit before I'd get to play. then I got a random player match up, and the guy was a nice little scrub like me, except he could hit me at the right range while I whiffed all over kept failing wesker's teleport LOL. 
 
yeah this was me:  http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/ 
 
in a fun way... 
 
how do I get into the "Legit Room" ?

"@mubress: Welcome back."  

" @mubress: The near-mythical mubress returns.  My Ken needs beat up, if you ever pick up a copy of Super. "

Thx Pessh. Got some IM work to do before picking up my little girl from daycare, otherwise I'd be back in there right now :)

you accepted the invite yesterday for Big-Jobo. 
 
I got 10 minutes (leaving at 530pm), I'll just turn the PS3 for a few  
 
EDIT thank you sir, I have the invite to Legit Room. see you around sometime :)

Hard to choose a compatible team while trying to avoid a lot of the old characters... 
 
Skrull, Wesker, Hulk (can't pass on my first love, lol) doesn't exactly jive well, but I like Wesker's OTG assist - if only I could learn to fight with him, heheh. I like Skrull's teleport-smash, but I fail every third one sometimes and just get beamed by IM or Mag. I need, like, 2 teams. Hulk/maybe Wesker/? and S.Skrull/?/? . Looks like I need a little of everything just to fight through the keep-away games of beamers and Arthur. Heck maybe I'll throw Arthur into my teams, myself... 
 
Hows the trial and error going for you all so far? Find anything new and fun?

@StarvingGamer: thanks bud. Spencer seems fun, I'll run him through training. I can see Wolvie being fun too, and un-used enough from MVC2 to feel new. Dormammu just sort of staggered around for me while I tried to remember all his power-up spells and what to do with them.  I like Haggar too, but get thumb-tied trying to get into range while staying alive. Forget about resets! Sounds great in theory, but can this stuff really be done consistently with a pad? If you guys swear by it, then I'mma haveta grind out some more practice training to see if I can get even close to capable.
 
My difficulty with beamers (and the rest of things) stems from my lack of twitch speed with the PSN pad. I can't snap a super jump into block or down-H with Haggar or Wesker for their aerial command moves before I get bonked with something silly. Just very clumsy. Of course, I'm going to have to suffer for a while before I can fork out any dough on an arcade stick. A stick might actually work very well for me because I used to be a pretty accomplished old school street fighter 3 player, back when I was a young-un LOL. Now though... who knows. Mebbe I'm over the hill HAH! And I'll have to suffer like a scrub from now on. 
 
Pad or stick though, this game is hella-fun! I've been trying to get on whenever I had a free hour from work/wife/darling baby girl, but those ain't plentiful...

@StarvingGamer: ah, well then shame on me! Pessh and some others handily trounced me. Well done guys, sorry I can't keep up with that yet, but I hope to in the future. Hey, s'funny, I can wave dash pretty easily, but will usually screw up the block or attack after it. I put 2 attacks on the R1 button and use it for supers and wave dashing. 
 
I think Pessh was bummed out :)

watching gootecks and mike ross im kinda glad gootecks is having the exact same problem im having...  
why is the person im fighting croutching light always beat mine, when do i attack.... how do i block... oh god i hate this game
 
i wish i hadda mike ross to teach me :(

"why is the person im fighting croutching light always beat mine, when do i attack.... how do i block... oh god i hate this game"

Anyone in for some mahvel tonight?

is this shit dead or are people still interested in playing marvel on here

Playing Super lol

:'(

I'm playing when I can, but the couple times I went up against summa you GiantBombers I got destroyed. Think I'm destined for eternal scrubdom. I push buttons when I should block, and miss super moves all over the place with the analog pad, rofl. Totally outmatched. :D

" is this shit dead or are people still interested in playing marvel on here

I got other priorities right now, sorry. Feel like I'm kinda done with fighting games for a while. I totally forgot that I can have fun with other games without the frustrations that I get with fighting games. "
