This sounds like a fun idea. I'll be picking up the 3DS on 5/17 which is when DoA comes out and i'll probably grab SF as well, so count me in! I'll post my friend code in this thread once I get my 3DS.

Whats funny is that I feel like an elder now (I'm 25) compared to old Fanimafia gatherings of years past when I was one of the youngest.

Ah- Don't say it like that, I'm also 25 and you're making me feel old as well. Haha

I might, though I might feel awkward being the only teenager (16, but almost 17) and not knowing anyone... D:

I don't know anyone either, but the reason I plan on going (if the 26th wins) is so that I could meet some new folks :) Also, I don't think you have to worry about being the only one in that age range. I think a few people mentioned that they were around 18, and that they plan on bringing their friends with em.

I just might come. I'll be commuting by car from near downtown San Jose so I may even be willing to take on passengers if anyone needs a ride.

I might have to take you up on that offer too. I live on Blossom Hill so i'm really close to downtown SJ. Finding parking with my car in SF is hellish! haha

id be interested in going.  how old are you guys?

25 here.

I'd be up for this! Would be a good chance to meet some of the board members. My vote goes to either the 19th or 26th.

shenmue 1 & 2!

o_0 Wong really doesn't change his opinion about games at all. He usually stands by what he says and when he's proven wrong, is pretty humble about being wrong (like his claim of Adonbeing one of the worst in SSF4). In terms of like, yeah that fine, but we were more on the level of talking about how it is as a competitive game. Which most people (that matter) agree it can be played competitively but it's got so many horrible properties that make the game incredibly dumb. I don't think a single top player/analyst disagrees that the game is incredibly stupid concerning X-Factor and turn around properties of it.

If you like playing the game, indeed, play it. If you don't, then don't. But in actual discussion of the playability of the game, the game has a lot of problems.

I agree with the x-factor. I think lvl 1 is fine, but when it comes down to lvl 3 it's just ridiculous. Maybe they'll give us a option to turn off x-factor (wishful thinking) when they release a "tournament mode" with spectator and other online options that should of been in from the start.

Uh... not Vanilla SF4, SSF4 AE is what he means. As far as I know, there's only 2 AE machines up in norcal.

More like 8. Two at each golfland, two at sjsu, and two at sfsu.

Poor poor soul, you don't know how Capcom does it's shitty arcade system distro for SSF4. You need TWO boards to run head to head. So yes, it may look like there's more, but in reality it's not that much. Good job Capcom for sapping the arcade industry of even more money they don't have.

Uh yes I do understand that you need two boards because they're separate cabinets. I do prefer it that way. Head to head is way better than standing next to someone who doesn't know the meaning of personal hygiene, or someone who likes to move like a crack addict while playing.

J.wong? The guy changes his tune about the game every minute. He hates it, he loves it, calls it dumb, then says it's the most fun game he's ever played. Whatever, keep playing it if you like it, and if you don't like it put down the controller and walk away.

you can look up online about why they didn't implement the other characters into the game & not even for considered for DLC. I just read up today about why they didn't put X in the game, mostly because he lacks in variety in close quarters whereas Zero is(it's still wrong that they put X's color scheme on Zero though). Besides, I don't believe a large number of people in the general audience that they're trying to appeal to ever known much of Strider. The developers already put Deadpool in there so why need 2 ninjas?

Strider and Deadpool aren't even close to resembling each other. Their play style is COMPLETELY different. We've got two shotos in MvC3, Ryu and Akuma, two claw people Wolverine and X-23. Those 4 characters play sorta alike, why not two ninjas who plays completely different? Besides they put in Shuma in as a DLC character, who even knows about Shuma and that one comic he was in?

I wish the roster was larger. There were 56 characters in MvC2 and I think there are 36 in MvC3 (plus DLC). I'd love to have had Franziska von Karma, Godot, Klavier Gavin, Rockman X, and some Rockman/X Robot Masters as playable characters (^__^,)

We'll be getting more DLC chars that's for sure. On the Capcom Unity forums they're already asking the community to vote for DLC characters. Bring on Strider!! oh and a spectator mode, watching health bars deplete isn't entertaining.

I'm quiet about my fandom around people the rest of the year, and it's pretty much my break to actually enjoy my hobby with others that know that same feeling. It's great to be surrounded by people that don't ask why I "watch cartoons."

Haha, that's exactly how I am. None of my friends watch animes or read mangas, so I never get to talk about those things much or express my inner geek. So fanime is the only time I get to geek out, and it's really fun naming all of the cosplays to my friends and cousins that tags along.

I agree, when the leaked roster list had Strider listed on it I was a happy boy. Then they came out and just said he's not in the game cause he didn't fit in with the tone of the game :(

The game on the other hand is really fun, I'm enjoying it alot more than MvC2. Are you guys on the 360 or ps3?? We should get some casual games going!

I was the Celty posing with her phone F-M. If anyone has any photos, I would greatly appreciate it.  ;D

Here are two pics that I took of you down at the lobby.

it pretty much plays like the original (Red Red Revolver) except with way better graphics, some control improvements, and a new storyline.

Basically its like a Western Version of Grand Theft Auto (minus the open world) .
It's on sale at Fry's electronics for $49.99 - so its worth it if you like those sort of games.
should also be an online multiplayer dead match thing - i dunno about that, since im not great with 3rd person action shooting [unless theres an option to go 1st person that im not seeing]

besides, i thought Gamestop had a "check out" policy for their internal employees - gotta take advantage of those perk ya know  ;

It plays nothing like Red dead Revolver, and it's a sand-box game, so yes, it has an open world. It's exactly like GTA now, the aiming, the shooting, every mechanic feels exactly the same. It's a western GTA. MP Has free-roam modes that you play with other people just like GTA4, and from there you can join specific games like DM, TDM, and other objective games. But IMO, MP games below lvl15 are terrible. Auto-aim just ruins it, and displaying everyone on the radar at all times makes sneaking up impossible. Play it with friends in online free-roam to do side-quests, and for the SP. If your main drive to get this game is solely for the MP matches, save yourself the money and pick up another game.

I've heard about this before but I've never actually gone. Wouldn't mind checking it out, sounds a bit like fun.

Nice! I'll try to look you up whenever I get online. We usually play around 8-9pm PST. If you see me on go ahead and toss me a message, and I'll do the same.

ah I see I've been playing since the first portable game; had a friend who beta'd the PS2 version who got me into it;  have been playing ever since.  I *would* give you my ID but I didnt get is as my room mate has been hogging the wii.  But my name is either Lime or Elimeno still only have bone gear at the moment so I gotta play a bit of catch up lol. 

Haha, no problem at all. Post it whenever you can get a hold of your info. Were on mostly in the evenings,  If i'm not on when you are feel free to toss me a PM or post in this thread, I also don't think you can search up players while they're on a quest as well. Also otakuapprentice, once you do pick it up, let us know!
