I'm in. For COTA the two characters I use most are Wolverine and Cyclops. I've never used a grappler so I might give Colossus a go. I don't have a copy of WH so I may have to go the emulation route with those. When I did play it I stuck to Hanzou. I'll report back with my judgement of Colossus.

welcome aboard buddy!

Still working with silver sammy, checked out his movelist and I was able to get a lil further, I turned his sword to fire and raped Iceman with it. Got stuck on stage 3 against Sentinel though. I even tried to switch it up and played as Sentinel, which lo and behold I had to fight Silver samurai who proceeded to unforgivingly molest my robot ass :oh_no:

I remember loving World heroes as a kid, but is it me or does the game run really slow? I'm not playing a legit version, I tried the rom on coinops5 and also on my 161 in 1, and it's almost unplayable. maybe it was always like that. sorry for not picking wh2Jet guts :(

next month, I'm gonna need something with some turbo in it haha

Buy RF NOW. Seriously.

The hours have been sucked away as I work on figuring it out, and man has it been a heckuva ride. I already want the second one, but I need to wait and really get this one down first. It's good. Get it :D

They did change a little bit of the mechanics from 1 to 2...mainly the way the Attack and Defense gauges work (1 bar vs. a 3-part segmented bar for each). Whether that's enough to warrant a look at both is really up to you. FWIW, the 1st one is hella cheaper than the 2nd lol.

ok so i looked it over and it seems the sound of someone hitting the ground in rumble fish 1 is kinda loud and repetitive and they made it alot quieter in rf2. i know this is kinda crazy but i notice it alot. but both seem to have not enuff backrounds i think

Just to double check...are you looking at arcade or emulation vids? I ask since AW emulation...isn't the greatest, and I don't remember anything sound-wise in the game striking me as being noticeably jarring outside of the bgm on some stages being a bit muted. I will double check/pay more attention next time I load 'er up though.

Back on topic:Invisible Spiral also pisses people off, oh dear god does she. Wow :D

thx for keeping up whips and dips. This is one of the busiest weeks of the year for me (restaurant). and I've also got a meet up planned for next week, with more ppl than i'm used to so I'm a lil nervous for that too. I should be back at it after next week tho.

Anybody else notice that the high score screen on WH records them REALLY weirdly? There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to how scores are posted...

Ice Man has a fun combo:

Hit confirm standing round house into Arctic Attack Super.

Attack should chain.

Looks cool.

Late to the party as always, but I'm in for World Heroes! Janne is doubtlessly my main. So who should I take up this time?

Also, I -love- the idea for the theme this month instead of just straight up high scores. I'd also love to see more like this!

welcome aboard Dan!! Glad you could make it. I'm having more fun with Rasputin, now that I've figured out a couple moves. I haven't seen a suggestion for Dragon yet, so what do you think of him?

Now that my meet-up has past, I hope to have more time to play these. Funny thing, I don't have my Xmen board anymore since I gave it to Mitsurugi to send off to Darksoft, but I can still rom it up :)
