Er, that's kind of amazing.
Just a dong, didn't you read?
Being able to push through 1MB at a given average rate is not the same as being able to guarantee individual packets are sent back and forth when they should, and wifi is pretty poor at the latter even without going into the PS3's own poor implementation of it. So you're right in that it won't change the inherent efficiency of the netcode, but it certainly won't saddle it down with a huge helping of intermittent lag.

Yea I meant it as more of a heads up for people going out to buy it today. Probably worth it just to sell on ebay - he's selling between $20 and $40 lol.
Raphael supposedly woke up in some kind of cell (and no idea as to what had happened... for the past few years).
As for "Dumas", we're told he was kept as a potential host for Soul Edge, under Ostrheinsburg Castle.

Was Dumas/Raphael locked away after Z.W.E.I. beat him? Or are Dumas and Raphael actually separate, with Dumas being some kind of clone based on a captive Raphael?
I'm a bit frustrated at the story mode and its focus on Patroklos, as the other characters would clearly have their own stories to tell...
How am I supposed to know
about Xiba's parents, for example? And Patroklos was taught by Setsuka, according to those Facebook profiles?

I remember seeing on one of the Japanese streams Project Soul was pimping out some SCV manga. Now *that* is some bullshit if that's where the answers are.

I'm at work and I still checked out that pic and it sold me on the game. Even if it's laggy I'll be able to troll people with my dong outfit.
A manga, too? I didn't know about that (but then again, I already count at least three Shûeisha publications, so...).
Gamestop changed date on website to 7th for guide now. D: I upgraded my Amazon shipping 1st day, tho they're saying 3rd. Wonder who'll get it first . . .
On that note, the guide does look fucking boss:

Yeah, he's running a bit of an obscene train in Jaxel's lobby. Slippery devil. http://www.twitch.tv/8wayrun Those various and numerous thrusts of Voldo's taken to a very pink, stiff new level.

"Does the guide have frame data? Need it."
There was a small snippet of the guide on Future Press's website and there was some frame data.

yay I'm glad others feel my pain. Markman, I took your "just deal with it" advice and gave it another shot. That was a mistake.
Also still having serious issues getting the timing down for parries. Besides these two negative points, I'm liking SC5.

Get it at target man. $20 card. Then I bought some shampoo and an itunes card. God bless target.
That's a damn good deal. I was going to trade in MW3 to cover some of the expense though at BB or Gamestop, but I want to grab the movie Drive today too, so I may just have to do the Target deal then.
The target lady tried to scam me saying the money was taken off my card- thankfully I looked at the receipt and got my card. Then I got some pants.

I'm enjoying the game so far although I don't like how block seems semi-broken. On multiple occassions in smooth 5 bar matches I'll block a telegraphed move that is blockable and it will go right through, and I'm not talking about the guard break either.
Just now I was facing a Xiba who ran up to me and did his CB and I just held down X, instead of blocking it just went through costing me the match. Hoping this will be patched because it will probably hurt this game's longevity for me if the game is dropping guard inputs during tense matches.

Was she trying to scam you or was she just being lazy?

Can't be a tricky bastard and say, buy it, get my free 20 card, go to the return counter, return it, then go rebuy it and now use my 20 card I gained?
If you return it, you'll have to return the card too, obviously. But I guess you could do it this way:
Buy the game, get the card
Buy another copy of the game, use the first card, get a second card
Return one of the games with the second card
I guess that would work.

Waiting for my copy is like torture. I'm gonna see if I can convince my friend to pick up a copy at the store today.
Yeah, this is a feature all fighting games should adopt.

It's also very nice to see the plastic doll look finally retired from the characters skin/face modeling and texturing. The new art style is so good.
I'm not sure what to comment on the mechanics because I am not an experienced SC player. I fell out, like a lot of people, after SC2. I have a lot to catch up on. I do like the meter / brave edge / SUPER ARTS (lol) system though.
At least I don't have sore feelings about missing/replaced characters, as I wasn't following the series. Don't blame those who do, just saying.
Zwei and Viola are interesting characters, atypical for 3D fighting games.
Oh, and I like how every character has a home stage and music theme. Like the old days in fighting games.
Not as bothered as I thought I'd be by lack of individual endings in the arcade ladders. It'd be NICE, the way MK9 did it, but they seem to be focusing on one specific, canonical storyline this time.

Yeah that sucks. Seems really lazy on their part. Even MK's arcade mode had some text and some motion comics type stuff for each character.
I guess the days of crazy CG endings like Tekken 3 had are long over. Once I unlocked them I used to watch them over and over. =(
