Fighting game roundup (i.e. what are you playing?) 6-12-05

roker · Jun 12, 2005

What are you playing, which character(s), and what have you accomplished, etc. etc.?

I've been playing KOF 2003, with Blue Mary, Mai, and King

and I've managed to kick ass through the entire game on level 5

after doing so, I've realized that this game is by far the EASIEST of KOF

SonGohan · Jun 12, 2005

Right now I'm playing KOF: MI. Getting the hang of the preset combos that you can break into standard combos with canceling specials/supers. It has a neat little engine, but for a 3D fighter it feels very restricted. Maybe I need to put in more time.

Another one is Third Strike, but everybody else has heard me chat about that enough.

Also fired up Fatal Fury Special this morning after a brief conversation in another thread. God, I love this game. One of the best fighters, ever.

I usually fire it up once a month, but after playing some pros on mame 2k, I've realized my technique is weak

Art of Fighting 2

You know, i'm getting better.........I enjoy it even. Just wish it were a little more forgiving.

SonicBoom · Jun 12, 2005

I've been playing SFA2 on the Impress with only punch buttons haha.

I need to wire some shit up and get Third Strike in there.

Nothing too interesting on my part:

King of Fighters 2002 - Kim, Mature, Yuri
Marvel v Street Fighter - Captain America, Spider-man
Samurai Shodown 3 - Bust Genjuro (Middle Grade), Bust Ukyo (Upper Grade)
Soul Calibur 2 - Kilik
Vampire Savior - Lilith

I think that's about it. UG Bust Ukyo is a pain to win with, but when you do, it's like YOU GOT SERVED :buttrock:

Eek. Freudian slip?

gmw · Jun 12, 2005

Playing a lot of:

KOF 2000
KOF 2002
Matrimelee
Vampire Savior

Trying to get back into KOF. I tend to get really into KOF for weeks at a time, and then go months without being interested.

SNKJorge · Jun 12, 2005

Currently trying to learn Q in 3rd Strike.

I also played some Double Impact yesterday, but I like
the complexity of 3rd Strike better.

Will be putting SSVS back into my cab, and maybe go back to
some KOF'01 for a while.

abasuto · Jun 12, 2005

I've actualy found myself playing SF2 alot more than 3S lately. Playing SF2 reminds me of jr. high/early high school. Dhalsim all the way for me.

Also gotten back into KOF95. I had forgotten how hard Rugal was in that game, especially when fighting him with a character you're not all that great with. No room for error against that man.

Korigama · Jun 12, 2005

KoF 2002 - Kula, Iori, Mature
KoF 2003 - Robert, Malin, King
Guilty Gear X2 - depends on my mood
Soul Calibur II - see above
CvS2 - not seriously, just for the sake of doing it
Virtua Fighter 4 - ditto

SS V - This one is driving me nutso :loco:

KOF '99

(XBOX)
Street Fighter Aniversary - online is addicting as hell

(DC)
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Street Fighter Alpha 3

I even fired up the saturn for some SF Alpha 2 the other night

God I love 2-D :buttrock:

Kirk Foiden · Jun 13, 2005

Well, I play a lot of fighting games, but I'll mention what I'm concentration on, right now.

Xbox:

Guilty Gear XX #Reload: (Thanks to the Otakon announcement, but having fun, just the same)

DOA Ultimate: (One of my faves, but I'm practicing with hopes to run into those well-practiced players that showed up at Otakon, last year. I'll try to get my friend to work back up in it, as well)

PS2:

Tekken 5: (Also because of the Otakon announcement, but I have no idea what character to really concentrate on. Maybe Azuka Kazama due to the mere fact that I was a Jun player in Tekken 2. She apparently has a loose similarity to Jun, so I figure I'd gel with that character. This also means that she'll probably have a bit of trouble against overly aggressive players and I'll have to find ways to turn and maintain advantage, with her. Needless to say, I'm not to the point where I can actually feel like I can take solid command of the fight like I could with DOA's Lei Fang. But if and when I do, I'll be ready.)
