Was about to post this.
That Pandora gem, combined with the level 3 strength and speed gems activated by using pandora, could be big trouble. Happy we're getting more colors soon. |

Gonna start picking up some other characters. Looking at Xiaoyu, Jin, Ogre, and Cammy.

Is the Pandora boost a gem? I thought it was just an update.

Yeah, it is annoying. I have a question. I'm using a pad and I was trying to figure out things to do with Zangief when I've been tagged in via launcher and I was ducking and hitting L.Punch a couple times and then going into a lariet.
When I hit the LP twice and then pressed LB for the Lariet, I did a few more LPs. Why does the game think I'm still hitting LP? I can lariet after the jabs but I have to wait a second. |

That sounds like a buffering issue. There could be safeguards in place that prevent people from doing PPP/KKK moves by mistake and the game could be 'correcting' PPP after jabs into another jab. It may be that you can't cancel jabs into lariat.
You ever did that combo without a hitch before? |

This is in training, btw.
I can do it at times easily but, other times, it thinks I'm still jabbing. I've been trying to come up with combos with my usual team of Z & H, as people keep saying that's more or less what you've got to do in this game. The best I've got so far is a 10 or so hit combo that ends with Hugos Ultra or Super or Cross Art, whatever they call it in this game. I've also figured out a few moves that let me go into Hugos Ultra right after. Zangiefs Ultra is not at all flexible. |

Both of them are using 3 strength boost gems each. Including a strength boosts exclusive to the Limited Edition I bought.

Do you activate them often?
And would vitality gems be better suited to your problem with combos? These gems combined with damage scaling may mitigate the damage taken, as well as your frustration. Have you experimented with speed gems on those big guys? |

I know I've been off for a while. Been getting back into Battlefield 3 and SoulCalibur V. I have played yesterday and I'll be back into the groove going forward.

I've tried those gems that are supposed to reduce damage. They don't do a thing. They might absorb one strike but that's it, then they deactivate. If I don't get hit they last about 20 seconds, though. I've never tried speed gems out on them, no. There is a gem that say "instant replenishment of EX meter +200". I tried it out, activated it and the EX meter didn't replenish instantly at all or even fill quicker when I did a move. I've noticed that from time to time. Certain gems don't seem to do anything and I've had the FAB do damage on both suplexes and the piledriver almost all the time but, on 4 or 5 occasions, the suplexes have not done damage but the piledriver still does. |

Won a handful of matches against Khuntry. He won a lot more.
Still, even a lot of the matches that I lost were relatively close. Probably the best I've ever done against him in this, or in SF4. My Julia and King in particular did pretty well against him. I'm getting good at mixing up julia's offense to create openings, and tagging in king for the big damage. They might end up replacing Juri and Heihachi as my main. I've still got a ways to go before I'm at Khuntry's level, but I did learn a few things this time out, so I'm slowly getting there. |

Not to beat a dead horse, but I reaaaally hope they patch in an unlimited timer for online.
We both won a few time over rounds that could have gone either way. Even when I win, it feels like a hollow victory. Also, a question: Has anyone else picked up new characters, simply because their alternate costumes are fucking awesome? I'm picking up Guile and Cammy, pretty much for that reason. On a related note, I hope we see some alternates from tekken games. Tekken 4 in particular has some fantastic designs. King, Jin, Xiaoyu, Yoshi, Bryan, Lei, Law, Hwoarang, Julia, and Nina all have great attires, that I would buy as alternates for this game. Last edited by Fignuts; 04-12-2012 at 03:18 AM. |

I can think of a couple of costume ideas they could have gone with.
Tag swap costumes, Chun-Li dressed as Cammy and Cammy dressed as Chun-Li etc. The only issue with that might be with the male/female teams. Jin in a dress and Hugo in Daisy Duke shorts. Adjustments would need to be made. It could be cool seeing them dress as each other plus you could have them dress in the same outfit for a real "team" look. Or they could use my earlier animal idea. Ryu as a dragon, Cammy as a cat, Hugo as a rhino(?). Not like Cammys King outfit, Chun-Lis Panda outfit or Zangiefs Kuma outfit but like Bloody Roar. |

I don't get the hate for anthropomorphic characters, these days.
We loved Mickey Mouse, we loved Sonic & Crash Bandicoot but, suddenly, anything that involves an animal acting like a human gets called "Furry" and dismissed as bad. What's it all about? |

I was playing online yesterday and facing a B+ & C+ togethor in ranked. I managed to get the B+ down really low and in a corner. I put in the input for the SPD 3 times and the whole time all I did was move back and forth and jump. Hitting HP did nothing.
Has this always happened or is it because of the update? |

Ranked in this game is genuinely infuriating. I shouldn't be fighting people with an A rank that still use assist gems. They need to patch in a "cut off point" for assistance in ranked. So, when you reach, say C or C+, assist gems should no longer work.
In SSFIV, I'd lose a ranked match and it was usually because the guy that beat me was better and I could tell he was just better, of course the game had its spammers and cheap players but, on the whole, it felt "legit" when I lost. The vast majority of my losses in this game just feels like I'm being cheated over and over again. |

I'm trading in the game between today and Thursday. I have the LE though so I'm not sure how I go about it.
Do I just take the game and the comic book or do I take the arcade money bank I've already assembled too? |

My Cammy/Ken team is really shaping up. Asuka is even making sense now. I just had to really let loose with the game, I guess. Finally found a rather expensive projectile dodge for Asuka (EX elbow strike). Kinda wish it dodged for free but whatever.
Might get back on Chun Li after some fun offline sessions. |

BLASPHEMY! Seriously, though, I've played as Yoshimitsu, Poison, Sagat and Rolento quite a bit with a bit of Akuma, here and there. Paul once in a while but he's mostly offline. I've played everyone on the SF cast a few times but the names above, along with Zangief & Hugo, are the ones I've played the most. |
