You need more CTR in your life
as does everyone.

CTR is so good. But man, Snaking, snaking made competitive Mario Kart so effing intense. Just like the Melee players and their motions-per-second. Mario Kart was the pinnacle of the series:

Mario and Luigi only
Mario Circuit
Egg cart only

God I miss as snaking. I quit playing Mario Kart after that. I now the new one has fire hopping but it's nob the same.

With the Stage Creator returning with Smash 4 and having built-in sharing this time around, I wonder how much the competitive community will embrace it to get around the complaints that Smash 4 is short on tourney legal stages. The Stage Creator would make it easy to recreate Project M stage designs, since they're mostly static anyways. Uniformity could be achieved if a big organizer or tournament shared stages that were labeled as "Evo/Apex/Smashboards offical custom stage 1/2/3/etc" that were then used in organized competitions.

do characters share the same specials/supers?

No. As was already explained, you have a KOF style team setup. There's assists and an item that the whole team shares. Items have an activated ability you can use 3x/round, and a passive bonus. Many items also have a character-specific bonus, ie. Nightmare Blade and Ice Sword make Vritra's and Elion's (respectively) buttons do chip damage, etc.

The game is really poking/footsies oriented and rips off Warhammer aesthetics completely shamelessly. There's a mechanic called clash where you can attack at an opponent's attack to negate it. It's a key mechanism for defending yourself. Kicks trade normally and do not clash. Some supers/etc. are unclashable.

The main disappointing thing about the game is that it has a dwarf character that's riding a goddamn fucking cannon but is sadly DJ tier. Apart from that you have dark elves, necromancers, vampire counts, black knights, orcs all ripped off direct from warhammer.

It's a fantastic game, all told. Port is sloppy though (no vs. mode, have to go through arcade => challenge) and the netcode is horrible, so buyer beware. Has to be imported from Japanese PSN, where it's called Dark Awake.

What's the attraction in digitally preordering, especially on PSN where people get hosed for doing it all the time
Click to expand...

The only attraction is pre-loading for very large games. I guess some people like the pre-order content but for most games that's pretty meh.

But yeah: never front money until the game's almost here, and even then only if you can pre-load & want to play right at release.
 
I expected there to be more tbh. I'm sure what he has next is going to be good though.

Also, Wizard sounds like Kamiya rn
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";139722382]Man there's nobody playing P4A, I got one ranked match all hour lol[/QUOTE]

If you're on Ultimax, that's a bit scary. If it's just arena, you're on the old version of the game.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";139722382]Man there's nobody playing P4A, I got one ranked match all hour lol[/QUOTE]

I can't find any ranked matches either. Lobbys are pretty populated though.
 
I can't find anyone on P4U ranked that's 2-bars and higher. You'd think living in Socal would make it easier to find this sort of thing, but I guess not.

Lobbies are very active though. Unfortunately I don't really like playing in lobbies because I can't do training mode while I wait between matches, I'd rather Enlist and wait while I try new things.

There is a game where this kinda happens.

After you defeat someone during the arcade mode, you learn a special based on their moveset. Before each fight, you select which learned move you want to equip. And, if you fight a mirror match, there is a chance you get a second super.

haha oh wow that brings back memories.

that was one of the first animes i saw back in the 90s.

picture me an innocent kid thinking this was just another ho-hum animated movie and renting it. then BAM~! tits nipples and incest!

that was a special time.
 
Honestly ranked was only cool because I wanted to get a quick match right away with little commitment compared to staying in a lobby with a random. With the addition of arcade lobbies, it killed a lot of my interest in playing Ranked in ASW games. Oh well, most of my time goes to playing with people I know.

I need to watch the anime someday, just because of the character designer (who also sings/dubs something in the game), Masami Obari.

It's a surprisingly fun game, complete with a puppet character who can summon three different animals, a Kamen Rider expy, a ninja with the weirdest sprite and moveset, the old kung fu master and an over the top american superhero.

It also sounds like GB's talking about Persona 4 Arena, and not Ultimax.
Though that might not necessarily be the case.

How does it sound like that?

Every time he comes in here he's talking about Koromaru
