Fucking shit sucks I cant get to play online because my roomate needs to be using psn and playing monster hunter 3 at the same fucking time constantly. I was enjoying the awesome connection all day yesterday and now I cant even play a ranked match or i will automatically lose. And i've gotten better so i'd like to not be 0/4 anymore and win some damn matches.

In the trial version I thought there was a rather garish disparity between the blockyness of the sprites and the smoothness of the BGs. There's no filtering option in the trial mode so I'm presuming it's switched off.

The filter for the characters is also available in the Trial version of the game, just change the focus to "soft" and you're good to go.

I'm having good fun with this game. This is the first time I've really played it aside from a few hours with a friend way back when he imported it for PS2 and it's a lot of fun. Although it needs more Duck King, I've been finding a great deal of the roster playable. I haven't tried online yet because I want to know some bnbs for my characters before I start getting owned.

Does anyone know how to fight King Lion in Arcade? I've faced the other 3 bosses and I have no idea how to get to him.

I figured it all out. It depends on how many DA attacks you do throughout the story mode. It's qcf + change (the button that tags in your other guy)

0-2 = Mizoguchi
3 = King Lion
4-5 = Neo Deo
6+ = Goodman

Seeing as how King Leon requires specifically 3 DA attacks, it's no wonder why he was the only one who eluded me. The other ones have a wider range of required DAs.

The Last Resort shooter stage is NOT in this version of the game.

Well, to be more precise, I was in Practice mode yesterday and fiddled with all the backgrounds and it was not a selectable BG. All other BGs were instantly selectable, including Goodman's. So I have to believe it's not in the XBLA version, whatever the reason may be.

Damn, that's too bad. I was thinking of selling off my PS2 version and replacing it with the XBLA one.

I really don't care anymore about the physical aspects of game collecting (complete, mint games with all inserts etc.) but a missing stage is a kind of a noticeable gap.

Ionno from the last time I played my ps2 version I felt that there was more than just 1 missing stage. Playing the XBLA you even kinda feel like they're not enough stages. About 5 of them and then tons of color swaps.

Can anyone confirm the requirements for meeting the bosses? I have tried the DA attack route but i always get the same boss. Do you have to win every fight before the boss without continues or is there something else i am not doing?

It works. Make sure you're not dying at all. No character can die.

Also that 6+ shit for goodman is shit. It has to be 6 excatly.

Sup guys, I forgot to mention you can't use any continues (and possibly not lose any guys at all) to get to Goodman. I'm not sure if the other bosses have a certain continue allotment. Just do the right amount of DA's without losing anybody, ever. If you get a game over, just start all over, its not hard to get to the boss without dying. You can use continues once getting to the boss however. So I recommend using the "Opponent has 1/4 life" option once Goodman beats your ass. :lolz:

About the stages, I read that all of the 2d stages were removed in keeping with the games new look.

If anyone wants to get some games on, my GT is riskVSreward.

Mizuchi. Mizoguchi is the guy from FHD.
Lol, you've exposed me for the FHD mark that I am.

Got all boss beat accomplishments yesterday.

I forgot how much ass some of those bosses were. They are just recockulous.

All in all, though, I'm really rediscovering this game all over again. It's quite fun.

Next up: survival mode achievement!
