just got the game and for some reason Im enjoying it and Im not even a big fighting game fan also loving the remixes of some music which are really good. Now Im wondering if its worth it to invest on an arcade stick? Preferably a universal one, since I also want to use it on my 360 arcade shooters. One last thing, does difficulty affect the trophies/achievements?
For all of you people wondering one or two pages back about online grades: it seems to only work on straight victories / losses.
For everything below C- grade I'm pretty sure I needed two straight victories against someone of my grade or above to rank up, starting from C- grade I need three straight victories against someone of my grade or above.
Ranking down seems to work the same: I ranked up to C+ yesterday, lost 2 or 3 matches in a row (don't remember exactly, but I think it was 3), and I ranked down to C.
It has nothing to do with PSR or winning ratio. Just straight wins/losses.

For your arcade stick question: Yes if you intend to use it for other games or you're heavily invested in fighters.
For your second one: No achievements/trophies that are affected by difficult as far as I know. There are a couple that require Challenge mode (somewhat hard) and Score Attack mode (GOD HELP YOU.) which are harder than the average difficulty. =P
thanks! how much does universal arcade sticks cost though? I really have no idea about this.

Also my name glitched out and says I'm a leaver even though I've completed every game I've played
What exactly does being a leaver look like for the searcher and leaver? I haven't seen any differences in anyone's name (they mention a red name but I haven't seen it) during matchmaking and I'd like to avoid (legit) leavers but I don't even know if I can see them if I'm not one myself.
I think most people just modify a stick. I'm not really sure as I don't own a stick yet. Ask around or hope MarkMan pops into this thread.
This isn't universal, but I believe it also works on the PC as well as the 360.

Qanbas/Eightarcs are the sticks that run PS3/360/PC. They run about 160-180 USD
If you can get a TE from Madcatz around 100 (360 version), they can be dual-modded by folks and the overall cost is a bit cheaper on average.
Man, I think I may hold off on Aigis for a little bit. I'm doing far better as Naoto (and I'm not even doing all that great as her even).
I'm still pretty terrible though and still trying to learn the stick (even to the point where I'm flubbing simple QCFs and dash motions). With that said, it is disheartening that most of Naoto's real BnBs involve either the SMP loop or IADs.

crap, those are expensive! guess I'll stick with controllers for a while then...
Don't think universal sticks are going to come cheap. I'm looking at potentially asking for an Eightarc as a Christmas/Birthday gift, but that's still quite a bit away... :\
The WWE sticks were good cheap beginner ones I hear tho. Not universal, but cheap enough you could potentially buy two, one for each system.

Well, if they dont have a red name its fine, you can clearly see it before accepting a match.
Is there a list of 360 players who are regularly playing? I need practice and practice bad, as I'm quite a scrub with Yu.
You can add me though I'm not sure how the netcode will hold up since I'm outside the US.

i think i'm finally getting the hang of comboing after garu

I'm pretty sure Chrig G was streaming last night under that name. His Elizabeth is really good.
Still can't decide on who to main
So far I'm liking Yukiko, Akihiko, and Mitsuru.
Nooooo. Yeah his Elizabeth had some killer combos. He beat me the first round, I beat him the second round, and on the third round I whiffed my 236236D at Red Axe level which would have won the game. Oh well, at least I won 1 round against him. @_@
I'll add you in the morning, Apharmd.
September.
Fair enough! I will have Guild Wars 2, CS:GO and UMVC3 to keep me occupied until the time comes. (And I am not even considering a possibility of a D3 patch, cause that would be too much
)There's no official release date yet. PQube say September 7th but Zen are staying tight-lipped.
I'm hoping it'll be out by mid-September.

Hey guys, I tried adding as many of you as I could find to the Community List - if you aren't on and want on, post if you are 360/PS3 and your ID/GT here. Thanks - I'll have a room up after 4PM EST for some training tonight.

I guess I'll stay off it for the sake of who ever randomly picks people to add.
Anyways, anyone up for some games right now?

You should have invited me last night, I need to see some skilled play (and lose)!

Skilled? I just mash buttons and cool stuff happens!
wow! these are totally cheap and it seems people are recommending it for beginners. Im really tempted now, the designs can be removed right? Anyway, I have another question, are DLCs compatible with any region regardless on which account was used to buy the content? I mean, my account is US but my game is R3(Asia)
Auto combo all day every day!
Close mirror matches are best matches.
The designs can be removed very easily but on the standard Brawl/Fight Sticks they can't be put back on, not a big deal.
The best part hands down about that stick is that official sanwa push buttons and joysticks just drop right in, absolutely zero mods necessary. MadCatz designed it that way. For 30 bucks that's an absolute steal for the guts and case.

If your disc's Asian, you need to buy the DLC from an Asian PSN store, using an Asian PSN account. (Getting a point card is left as an exercise to the reader.) But once you've purchased the content on an Asian store account and installed it on your PS3, it can be used by any account on your system, including a US one.
To be totally super clear: you cannot use the US DLC with a Japanese/Asian/European disc copy of the game.

I knew you were one of those people who could be summoned by name alone. ;p
They are, but I am quickly beginning to hate the auto combo system, given how unfairly it favors certain characters in low level play.

Wow, I was looking at the DLC and see that the announcers have to be paid for. That's kind of bullshit. I thought it would just be colours. This looks like a key unlock given that its displayed in the gallery. Ugh.
I'm pretty sure you can unlock the announcers by just playing the game.
Considering stopping Yosuke for now to invest time in other characters. Was feeling Elizabeth combos in challenge mode, and still really dig Akihiko just because of his giant health and damage pool.
I got bodied hella free yesterday. Had a 60% win ratio and destroyed it to 40%ish. Most losses came to Naoto players. That match up is a bit rough for my scrub Yosuke.

modifying is too much for me actually, Im still not sure whether Im going to take this seriously or not. Im not really a big fighting game fan tbh.
aw, currently have no funds on my Asian account so I was hoping it would work with a US account. Oh well, dont mind missing out on the DLC.

You can. It's still bullshit regardless, but you can.
