well i played again tonight (cfj beta).. was my 3 month anniversary with my new woman so we headed to namba for a bit of thai.. the game centre where the loke is is about 1 min walk from there so i popped in for a couple of goes. still not much of a crowd

the game is growing on me.. the sprites seem less mismatched whether by virtue of me getting used to the look or some cleaning up being done by capcom??

gameplay however is obviously being tweaked heaps and the speed is up a bit. feels real nice basically and despite the disappointing graphics (bgs still irk me, the thai one truly looks like a 3 year old drew it... a mess of color and low rez almost static characters) the gameplay is very nice with the speed and the old school feel systemwise. oh yeah the effects have been tweaked and i am happy to say look quite nice now unlike the cheezy ones at the first loke test.

the roster definitely needs beefing up, i wish theyd get round to it quickly coz time to test is slowly drying up. all in all im looking forward to this one and its a sight more exciting/interesting that kof neowave thats for sure.

PS THOSE IN TOKYO. NEW LOKE TEST AT CLUBSEGA AKIHABARA.

"Mismatched" was precisely the way I felt about CFJ when I played it at the first loke test. If I get a chance I'll give it another whirl on Sunday.

Are you guys serious? I hope not! I was planning on making Mukuro one of my main characters, cause I heard how awesome he was. Damn, how did they fuck him up?

I made it to the Akihabara loktest after work today! This is the least excited I've ever been for a capcom game.

Overall the game looks pretty bad. The sprites are really mismatched and all the characters are from different games so they all have a different number of frames of animation. It's just not very cohesive. As far as backgrounds to characters it reminds me of Capcom vs. Snk 1 a little bit. It does look a little better than capcom vs. snk 2, but not by much.....

At the test the vampire players were dominating. HEAVY amounts of chain combos with demitri and keep away was sick with anakaris. I played only one round, Ryu and Jedah. Jedah was SLLLLOOOOWWW. Ryu was alright, I really miss the ability to dash forward (maybe I've been playing too much Kof and virtua fighter recently)

I've been trying to be optimistic about this release and I'm still waiting until I get a real chance to play this game. So far I don't like it :(
