Look for the game with the best grapplers or where grapplers fare best and take that first step. I suggest SG or XIII. Grapplers are fun in both. In the former Bella is a particularly well equipped grappler. I probably wouldn't be playing Alex (or 3S because Urien is a fun secondary, but he didn't draw me in like Alex) if I'd never played Bella. It's fitting that Mike Z made the first grappler I could actually play.

KOF13 does have a lot of characters with commamd throws, but I think the dedicated grapplers are Clark, Daimon, Vice and Raiden. Clark and Daimon I think are the easiest grapplers in the game to play. Vice is in the middle, and I'd consider Raiden advanced.

Anyone have any Rec's on Ethernet over Powerline adapters? Best Buy has Actiontec's, and there's a 4-adapter version which would work for my needs.

Feel free to PM me your steam ID if you bought it on PC. It's not a difficult game and Bella is stupid easy for a grappler with so many options, but it helps to have guidance. Once you've dipped your toes in the water a whole archetype just opens up.

Hey about Square and Street Fighter 5. When the rumor started I asked someone from Capcom about this and he said he had no idea what was going on. So it wouldn't be a surprise if a designer just ripped some Square images and used it without removing the copyright.

And yes I'm telling you this because I'm bored of seeing Shin posting Lightning and I want him to stop.

I actually think it's a good exercise for anyone, as it pretty much requires you to be able to make some reads and make adjustments depending on how your opponent is acting in a way that may not always happen with other characters.

And if he was to just play the game with the dumbest grapplers, he would end up playing something like Vanguard Princess or Aquapazza (that is, if he ever found someone else to play with). Examu in particular seems to have a tendency for making that archetype really stupid in their games.

I've never been a huge grappler fan because of the lack of mobility many of them possess. But that's why I'm so excited for R. Mika, she's a grappler but with decent mobility and more unexpected options and tricks.

The only other grappler I really played was Haggar in UMvC3.

I played DotA2 last week, and I was pretty disappointed by the visuals. Seems like a step down from DotA1 even.

Can you give me a timestamp where the sound skips? I need to fix my sound, I'm not sure what the problem is.

SolarPowered said:
Advanced is the worst if you can't climb those last few feet. You know very well where your weakness lies, but something just doesn't let you reach that summit. Stupid Guard Cancels and Pushblock Guard Cancels. I'd list my 3S deficiencies, but I'm barely intermediate at that.

We have SFxT pre-patch footage for that.

I get to advanced when the idea of when to push what buttons is second nature to me. I have to be able to play all of the character's basics without thinking so I can concentrate on my opponent.

I can excel as a grappler for a while, but it isn't fun for me at all. I want to do stuff other than blocking.

i love being a big, lumbering threat but yea playing MIka has been an absolute blast in beta. i don't think i've played an SF grappler quite like her, largely bc of her mobility.

Metal Arcana Kira in Arcana Heart can be so annoying

For the record, this is what equipping Metal Arcana does for that girl.
l9dWSyL.jpg


This on a character with an air unblockable crouching attack that baits overheads and confirms into anything you want, and unclashable crossup jumpin attack, big range, and big damage. Essentially you'd use Metal to level up her damage repeatedly and to guard her with the shield vs mixups so you could setup more grabs. It makes her fucking insufferable.

I'm okay with this. The only thing I'm not okay with and goes too far was that stupid Telegraph fake interview from yesterday.

This is beyond the worst. Cancer needs to get bodied, instant killed, Crossover Combination, and Vergil Level 4 altogether.

Excellent performance as Severus Snape.

Indeed it is sweet. Though, maybe its just my eyes, there's a weird contrast where Chun-Li looks confident as fuck and Cammy looks like she's trying to hide the shame of her outfit or something.
