Ultra Street Fighter IV

[imp]

I can do of the fightings in this P.M. I am even willing to play gemfighter because in the last short set against Alistarr I got bodied and clearly need to step it up. If you're willing to take on the winner of the Transsexual Rumble that is.

Will you also do fightings by P.M.?

I managed the Columbian national side in Sensible World Of Soccer, and all the players had worse stats than they were in the quick match version of the team except for Faustino Asprilla, who was way better. I took one good player to that World Cup.

If there are any fighting happening at around 2:30 I may be "game".

Carlos Valderrama's epic blonde afro might take on a potato like quality if rendered as a wee sprite. Although I recall his ISS appearance as photorealistic.

[geldra]

ISS 64? Where some random lady would squeel if you made a sexy dribble up the right wing?

[joffocakes]

I'm sure they called him Alvarez in ISS. Sure of it; he was my favourite. In the N64 versions I went Cameroon instead, because their strip looked like delicious fruit flavoured sweet wrappers and their name sounded a bit like macaroon. The N64 versions are my favourite football games.

Cameroon were the worst team in Nintendo World Cup. I used to choose Argentina due to their homing power shot.

ISS Pro on the PS1 had excellently wild goal net stretching and the commentary line "there's a man loose in the box!" hilariously often.

[Plopboy]

I liked ISS on the SNES as I could turn the ref and linesmen into alsatians.

On the Commodore 64, I had hacked versions of both International Soccer and International Basketball which featured able-bodied player sprites replaced with sprites of men in wheelchairs.

[IgTerminals]

I may be around for fightings about 3:30 - 4 for couple hours. Need to get some enthusiasm back, still.

Kinda wish I never did that tourney...

[jiroczech]

Who'd have thought googling for "Carlos valderrama sprite" would throw up so much porn.

My favourite football game is :

Fixed.

[JLM]

That game is amazing. I love all the PS2 WE/PES games as well, but I had the most fun with WE6 on the 'Cube. HEADINGSHOOTOH.

[Qazimod]

Is CvS2 the shit one?

Why on earth are you all free for playing fighting videogames when you should clearly be wallowing in an horrendously dull office instead.

[joffocakes]

I totally bought some Konami J-league soccer game for the gamecube because there were no games for the gamecube and I'd somehow convinced myself I'd enjoy it as much as ISS 64 despite the fact I hate football. I hated it though, because it was football.

I also bought some Mortal Kombat game for the gamecube and I had almost managed to completely purge it from my brain up until just now when I realised I'd best mention a fighting game soon or WahWah might tell us off. It had secrets you'd unlock on gravestones and Sub Zero had a big Ice Blade thing. It was awful.

Something about us all being free.

[joffocakes]

I'm acutally in a Dull Office right now, that's why I'm posting so much.

[JLM]

That's MK4. It's not very good, but it does have the best fatality of them all in it:

It's the way he keeps going until the screen fades out that gets me. I love me some Quan Chi.

[joffocakes]

Nah, that's an N64 game... the one I mean is Deadly Alliance. You unlock things in The Krypt in it. I remember having a decent amount of fun with MK4 when it came out, but more in a silly fun with the violence way than enjoying playing the game against each other properly kinda way.

[JLM]

Ah, somehow I got it in my head you'd said N64. I have Deadly Alliance on the Xbox. It is shit. It's the first game where MK started to feel incredibly slow and clunky with the stiff canned animations and the like.

I've been posting from a dull office all morning, but get Thursday afternoons off to look after my son, except lately he has been going to a youth club after school so I'm free to do exactly what I want*.

* so far, I've done some laundry and loaded our dishwasher. Jelly?

[joffocakes]

I don't really understand why that is. There's just something really off about the animations in the recent Mortal Kombat and this new DC game as well. It is that unnatural stiffness, probably, and the awkward transitions between different animations. None of the characters look terribly comfortable standing up

Wasn't there something odd about the way combos (kombos!) worked in that recent Mortal Kombat too? In some way where even if it was blocked you still ought to commit to it due to there being no safe strings to attempt instead? I didn't play it beyond the demo, so I dunno. I'm still gonna buy it.

[geldra]

The organisation I work for is having some kind of "end of an era do" that started at 2pm so I'm going along to that*.

*Going straight home.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I think in the new mk all the combos were pretty much cancels, I don't think that links as in SF4 were a big thing, so usually you could just go for a certain string and either end it at a safe point or cancel into a safe special and there wasn't really much the opposition could do. I base this on the fact that I half-assedly played the game for about a week or something. I think it's the constant normal cancelling that makes the animation look a bit wierd, since the characters are constantly shifting into new moves which look somewhat unnatural because there's no recoil or anything, since the recovery animations never seem to start. Also the interpolation when people get hit out of moves and that is pretty rubbish.

[joffocakes]

It's not even just combos that look odd, even a jumping kick connecting looks really odd to me. When's the new Killer Instinct out?

[Camel]

Right chaps, I should be on in about 15 minutes. Are we strekking?

[Plopboy]

Err I'm going to play Camel at SFxT, I'm going to loose

Edit: Can't join

[mayor_mike_haggar]

It's for the best. He plays dhalsim!

[Plopboy]

The phone went just as I was playing JLM, it put me right off and it was only one of those automated PPI claim calls. /Excuse

[Camel]

So far I've forgotten I'm using Abel and not Rufus every time I tag in and I've had a cat jump on my lap mid-game. /more excuses

God, JLM is broken tier.
