Seasons Beating

Hey guys, one of the biggest tournaments of the year, seasons beatings, just occurred not too long ago. It was one of the best displays of new fighting game technology that I've seen in a while. The games played were ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, super street fighter a e, persona 4 arena , tekken tag tournament 2 and kof 13. All in all, it was a very good showing and I will be updating soon with my take on some of the more high profile matches as well as a log of the tournament. So stay tuned guys, more frequent updates are on the way.

Tekken tag tournament II







The tekken series has been a staple in gaming ever since I was a kid. Namcos fighting game franchise, which has spanned well over 10 years, is finally back with it's new incarnation and I must say it looks to be the best one yet. Introducing multiple new characters as well as a new tag combo systems that adds a depth of strategy due to the need for team synergy, it promises to be fun experience for new comers and fans of the series alike. It boasts an amazing number of characters each with their own play style and strategies. One of the main changes, however, is the new metagame which will make learning tekken a arduous but rewarding endeavor. Another change is that the moves of some of the characters have been altered and new combos are now available. All in all, this new tekken seems to stay true to it's roots, while fixing many of the problems from previous versions. I will be updating with info, game play mechanics and maybe a character guide or two. Ok guys, stay tuned.

Persona 4 first impressions



Ok guys, so I've been playing a lot if persona 4 arena lately and I must say that it's shaping up to be a very interesting game. For the most part, it's a pretty straight forward game that has many of the characteristics of many other fighting games, but introduces many different sub-systems that are character specific. For example, akihiko, a rush down boxing character reminiscent of steve fox from tekken, has a sub-system within the game that powers up his attacks and gives them different properties such as invincibility frames, armor and allows for better combos. Also, p4 is very fast paced and will take some getting used to if you aren't familiar with faster fighting games such as guilty gear or umvc3. on another note, the music and sound effects in the game are exceptionally good. The combat is complimented by dialogue between characters as well as  the crisp sounds of weapons clashing or slashing. I haven't had the chance to play persona as much as I do other games, but I will update you guys, as soon as I do with tips, hints and maybe even a guide or two.

Persona 4 Arena General and Stamina Rankings



Ok guys, so recently, i've really gotten into playing P4 Arena. I'm not as good as i am in Marvel or Street Fighter, but I can still offer some fundamental advice about the game in its entirety. First of all, like all anime games, P4 is heavily rush-down based with little to know zoning options except for a few characters. This means that all you Ragna and Sol Badguy players will feel right at home with this game and its cast of characters. Secondily, it doesnt have any shoryuken inputs, so it should be an easy game for beginners to jump into and for advanced players to quickly master. Like blazer blue and other Arc System games, it will also feauture the fatal counter and burst systems. A fatal counter is when you attack an enemy with a certain move that cause a longer counter attack than normal and allows for some pretty extravagant combos. Burst is the game tool that allows you to, at any time, emit a shockwave that knocks your opponent back and interrupts their combo. Anyway, I finally found a listing of the stamina for the characters in this game and thought I would share it with you guys.

Kanji: 10,500
Akihiko: 10,000
Chie/Labrys/Mitsuru/Teddie/Yu: 9500
Aigis: 9000
Yukiko: 8500
Yosuke: 8300
Naoto/S.Labrys: 8000
Elizabeth: 7500

THX GUYS!!! Today this blog reached 15000 views.

The Chronicles of Inotia "Children of Carnia"


Hey guys, I know this isnt in the regular spectrum of things that I usually cover, but I just thought I had to tell you guys about it. It's an action rpg, kinda like skyrim or kingdom hearts, but it's made to be played on an android phone. Boasting over 20+ hours of gameplay and a story that could compete with some of the console rpgs, its truly a rare gem. It has over 6 classes that are customizable as well as over ten party members that you can play as. Just wanted to tell you guys about this amazing little game. Well, i'll be back tomorrow with some of the stuff you guys have come to love. Just thought that this would be a nice change of pace.

Persona 4

 

 

Ok, so i recently started playing Persona 4, and i must say that it is actually a very well thought out and entertaining game. It's developed by arc systems, so if you were a fan of their previous titles (blaze blue and guilty gear) you're in for a treat. It falls into the nich category of an anime fighting game, but it is still very accessible by the mainstream and is easy to pick up. I myself am very much still a beginner with this game, so there willbe more to come as i progress in skill in this game. But thats besides the point right now, starting as a rpg game, p4 arena still has many elements from its rpg beginnings. Firstly, it has status ailments that anyone familiar with any rpg would be familiar with.

Poision: Health reduces gradually over time

Charm: Opponent drains your sp meter

Silence: Not able to use system attacks or your persona

Stun: Restricted from normal movement; quick escape and mini-jump still available

Confusion: Movement controls from left to right are reversed

Fear: Can't tech throws and any attack received is a fatal counter

Emrage: Guard is no longer available, but you do 1.2X damage

NBA 2k13



The new version of NBa 2k13, which will be in stores this Oct. 2nd, looks to be the best in the series as of yet, and thats saying alot, as they set the bar pretty high last year, with the intricate my player mode as well as the improved association. However, after reading and watching a fe videos for the new version, I can say that it's going to be a blast to play. Produced by Hip Hop legend Jay-Z, this looks to be the first game in the 2k series that actually makes you feel like you're part of the game instead of just controlling a 3d-model. Some of the ne features it will include are :
  • The Control Stick: For the first time ever, all dribble moves have been mapped to the right analog stick, as well as shooting, passing, and post moves. String together devastating crossovers and clutch shots for maximum control and effectiveness.
  • Dynamic Shot Generator: Shots are now dynamically created on the fly, with all-new collision physics created in real-time.
  • Signature Skills: Each player has unique abilities that can alter the course of a game. Players are modeled to impact the game in their own unique way, from Derrick Rose as a “Floor General” to Kevin Durant being “The Closer.” Learn to use each player’s unique ability and change the game on your terms.
  • Revamped Passing System: Improved fast break passing gives players more control. Fire a bounce pass to a cutting teammate or go “Lob City” in transition.
So I can't wait to get my hands on it next month. I'll be sure to write up some helpful hints to help you guys out.

UMVC3 Dormmammu Guide



Dorm. hasnt changed much since his apperance in the series and that, in my opinion, is a very good thing. Of his few changes, the two that stick out the most are the facts that he can do an abc chain combo and that his flame carpet disappears when he is hit (which is a very big nerf if you were used to the near invincible flame carpet of the previous renditon). That being said, he is still a very fundamentally sound character that is good for both new and veteran players alike.

Playstyle: Dormmamu is a very versatile character that is comfortable both rushing down his opponent as well as zoning and playing a keep away game. He has a very good super-jump cancel that can be used to cross up your opponet or retreat. Also, most of his moves are special move cancelable sp they can nearly all be made safe. Ultimaely, when playing with dorm. the object of the match is to confuse your opponet and keep them guessing by using your many options and versatile moveset.

Team Chemistry: As a character, Dorm is best suited either second or third on your team depending on who else you are using. He needs a lot of meter (super bar) to be used effectivly, so it's always best to pair him with a good battery character on point that can gain it for him. Likwise, he does an ungodly amount of chip damage and couple with x-factor level 3 can mean the end for an opponent ho squandered their x-factor earlier in the game. Also, a character with a good keep away assist such as doom's hidden missles will greatly improve his chances in combat.

Noatable moves: crouching light (good poke) crouching heavy (fastest ground normal) standing medium (nullifies projectiles), forward heavy (good spacer and used for teleport mixups) launcher (stays out for a while and is very hard to punish when covered by an assist)

UMVC3 Wesker guide

 


Hey guys, as promised i'm back and in full force. In this installment of my blog, I will be writing a character guide for Albert Wesker. In the original mvc3, he was hailed as one of the if not the best character in the game, however, as time progressed and new technology was found out about the game, he quickly declined down the tier listings. He is still a solid A tier character but is nowhere near as effective and dominant as he was in the the original game.

Playstyle: Wesker is primarily a rush down character who relies on cross-up mixups and tich throws to pound his opponent into submission. he doesnt have an effective overhead and as such is more reliant on his teleport mixups. He also has a bit of zoning and a few effective counters making him more well rounded than some of his rushdown counterparts.

Team Chemistry:  Wesker is a very versatile character and can be used in all three positions, but is best at the point or second spot on a team. If he's on point, he benefits greatly from a horizontal assist that can help him cross up the opponent such as taskmasters arrows or Magneto's disruptor. At the second spot, he is best when using his samurai edge (gun shot) assist to otg a character and contine a character or to coordinate unblockables with an overhead attack.

Important Normals : crouching medium punch, gunshot (even though its a command normal), launcher (is hard to punish), crouching light.

UMVC3 X-Factor boosts

X-factor is one of the most interesting game mechanics i've ever seen implemented in a fighting game in all my years of playing them. That being said, it's kind of  a double edged sword. You can play the perfect game only to have your opponent use a character such as x-factor level 3 vergil or wesker and come back and steal it from you. Some characters have a significant advantage in this mode and the point of this post is to highlight the certain boosts that each character get in this mode.

UMVC3 Tier List (my opinion)



Ok, so in my next post on this blog, I though it would be cool to get back on track with some Marvel and add my tier list. Now don't let a tier list tell you who to use and who not to use. It's just a speculation of what characters have the most tools and advantages available to them, that being said, there have been many a tournamants that i've been to that a low-tier team completely destroyed a high tier team. So without further adieu, I presnt my Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 tier list.

D Tier: Hsien-KO, Pheonix Wright, Iron Man, Shuma, Tron, Ghost Rider,

C Tier: Thor, Nemesis, Iron Fist, She-Hulk, Deadpool, Spiderman, Chun li, Arthur

B Tier: Ryu, Captain America, Chris Redfield, Storm, X-23, Sentinel, Trish, Jill, Rocket Racoon, Haggar, Viewtiful Joe, Doctor Strange, Frank West, MODOK, Fire Brand, Hawkeye, Felicia

A Tier: Nova, Akuma, Task Master, Skrull, Strider, Ammy, Hulk, Dorm., Wolverine

S Tier: Morrigan, Wesker, Dante, Doom, Magneto,


Why are you in this game tier: C.Viper, Vergil, Spencer, *Zero*, Pheonix

Random NBA 2k Post

I've recently left my last online league because it was full of leavers and everyone kept vetoing every trade proposed, so If anyone no of any free or open NBA 2k 12 leagues that are active then leave me a commet or shoot me an email. I don't mind a fantasy draft or regular teams. As long as people are active and it's not more than one or two seasons in.

Anchor Character (UMVC3)



The final component of your team in Ultimate Marvel is the anchor. This is also a very important component because it isn't unheard of for an anchor to defeat an entire team on their own with x-factor level three. The term anchor comes from the fact that the anchor character is the last character that's on your team and holds down the rest of your characters (just as a ship anchor does). Depending on your playstyle, there are multiple anchors that you can use. Some of the best are of course ammy, wesker, vergil, pheonix, taskmaster,hawkeye and spencer. If you haven't noticed by now, a lot of characters are interchangable into different roles, in fact some characters are able to be used simountaniously at the same time in different roles. That being said, I will update this blog with the advantages each character recieves from each level of x-factor, a tier-list and a guide that goes over alot of terminology used in almost every fighting game for you beginners.

Battery Character (UMVC3)



The point of a battery character is to build meter for your team/anchor as well provide an assist that is good for your team. This can either be an assist that helps your character get in (taskmaster's arrows) or one that otg's and allows for the continuation of combos (Weskers gun shot). Also, a good battery should be able to do a significant amount of damage without using alot of meter. In fact, they should actually gain meter, hence the term battery (charging your super bar like a battery would). Some good batteries are wesker,taskmaster,spencer,c.viper,zero and dante, jus to name a few. Furthermore, you can place your battery as your point character and vice versa, it just all depends on your team composition.

Point Character (UMVC3)



Ok, so the first and arguably most important character on your team is the point character. As mention in my previous post, this is the character that will be going first on your team. Now depending on your team compositon ( rush down or zoning) you may want to pick a certain point character. If you're planning on creating a rush down oriented team, I suggest you pick a character such as wolvering,magneto,spencer,c.viper or hulk. However, if you're going for a zoning or projectile type team, I suggest starting out with a character such as morrigan,dormmamu, trish or storm (though she can be utilized as a rushdown as well).

Marvel Team Composition



Ok, so in my next update to my blog, I will be talking about how to build an effective team in ultimate marvel vs capcom three. First of all, a team can be divided into three different parts. A point character (goes first), battery (gains meter/second), anchor (goes last and utilizes x-factor level three the best). Some good point characters are wolvering,spencer,wesker, captain america and dante. however, this isn't set in stone and some unorthodoxed players can make different things work. While considering your battery or anchor, it's also good to consider a character that has a good assist. Dr.Doom, Ammy, Hawk eye, taskmaster, magneto and vergil are excellent batteries/ anchors. For instance, the teams I primarily use are wesker/vergil/hawkeye and wolverine/wesker/doom. And doom missles are the BEST ASSIST IN THE GAME. thanks guys, i'll be sure to update soon. In my next 3 updates, I will be going more in depth into each component of a team and giving examples.

evo 2k12


Well, Evo 2k12 ended not too long ago and I just wanted to say that it was probably on of the best showings i've ever seen in all my years as part of the fighting game community. Players from all over the world came to compete in multiple games, but the games whos players impressed me the most were UMVC3, SC5, KOF13 and SSF4:Arcade edition. Over the course of 3 days, one of the best displays of skill and new game technology was demonstraded in Las Vegas. I can't post videos for obvious copyright reasons, but if you want to seriously level up your game, I suggest looking up a few of these players. Also, in the feature I will be writing guides for characters, if you have a character you need tips/help with, leave a comment and I will make a guide for said character.

UMVC: Filipino Champ, IFC Yipes, Zak Bennet, Shady K, Marlin Pie, BT Clockwork ,Justin Wong

SSF4 : Justin wong, Tokido, Infiltration, Daigo, Gamerbee, Dieminion, Ricky Ortiz

SC5: Something Unique, Ruka, Shen Chan, Whoazz, Shining Decopon, Kamaage

KOF13: MadKOF, Bala, Guts, SA Reynald, CafeID Verna, Romance

NBA 2k12 tips vol. 1




Hey guys, I've been playing a lot of 2k12 lately and thought that it would be nice to share a few hints. I'm by no means a savant, but my record is above average (150-43), so anyway, here are a few hints for nba 2k12 online ranked matches. First of all, all ranked matches are played on the allstar difficulty, so if you really want to better your game, I suggest you play against the computer on Hall of Fame and change the game mode to simulation. This will not only help you increase the level of your defensive efforts, but will also help with your scoring because the computer can predict your everyt move and it becomes increasingly hard to score as the game progresses. Secondly, you should go to options, controller settings and put the a.i. defensive assistance up to 100 before every game. Not only will this make the computer on your team play better defense, but it will also make it easier for you to keep up with the opponent as you play defense. Finally, to end my first installment of hints for 2k12, I would suggest that you go to nba 2k12 bootcamp and learn the moves. I know this sounds cliche, but you'd be surprised of the number of messages I get asking me how to euro step or do a step back jumper. Bootcamp is clearly on of the most under-utilized resources in the 2k12 universe. Well that's it for today, i'll be back tomorrow (or later today) with more. thanks, and to all my readers, peace, too, you.
