    From what I can tell, as long as you don't mash and double tap, combos are a lot easier. I've found that if I hit a button more than once, the chance of me landing that combo is very low.

    Except for Parasoul, right?

    lk lk mk mk hp hp seems to work well. I usually forget to do hp hp though, and end up hitting hk. So I usually end up with a 5 hit combo instead of 6 =/

    You're also welcome to send me invites, Candito. Playing games with people already on my friends list is very convenient.

    No, this goes doubly for her. That combo that I was doing, if you don't time her attacks right, you either don't get anything or they block it. The same with her lander/relaunch combo, if you double tap or mash, her s.lk won't come out and you'll drop the combo.

    made the mistake of playing this against my good-at-fighting-games friend, next thing i know i shut off the xbox in a blind rage.
    he kept doing valentine's special where she darts back and forth and i couldn't seem to block anything.
    i yelled so loud at the TV, my GF woke up (and she was downstairs). i should probably learn some characters before going online again...
    i really like cerebellum and parasoul, but i can't seem to find another character that works for me.

    Parasoul combo

    This is what I was trying to do, Skull.

    Does the start of that combo really not set off the games loop protection? If so, man, it was way more lenient than I expected.

    Man, all I know is that Blaze is so far out of my league... Like woah. I likened it to Tyson fighting a small child :lol:

    We played what... 10 matches? I managed to win 1. Time ran out, and I had like a tiny sliver of health more... Still had fun though, I couldn't even get mad at all the crazy combos I kept getting caught in. It was pretty amazing to watch.

    You seemed to know what you were doing though. Just random super less and I think you'll do a lot better.

    So, any indications of when we're likely to see it on the UK PSN? :3

    There's often a massive gap, months or more between US and UK PSone Classics releases, I've wondered if that's because they get submitted later, or it takes that long for Europe to process em?

    I would love it though if they bring in male characters with noticeably bouncing junk. Just make everything ridiculous.

    So this game apparently has infinite combo protection or something similar. Are there bursts that allow you to break combos in mid-stream like Guilty Gear? If so, what are the inputs?

    I haven't been able to get back to this since Wednesday but I should be hanging around this weekend. Feel free to send me an invite to throw down on XBL. Name's CR zan.

    To be fair, the character design is largely describable as "depraved tittyfest." Most of the characters look pretty stupid, though the art is well executed.

    The only character that bugs me visually is the teacher, but she's pretty much only shows up in the tutorial mode so, no big deal.

    Pssh... whatevs. Double's hawt! Can't wait for the cosplay to start soming out!

    I like T&A in my games, so nothing in this game really bothers me. Its not really any "worse" than most games out there. The only thing that gets me kinda is Ms Fortune. The way her parts pull apart and stuff grosses me out a little for some reason. Which is weird cause I can play through any gorefest type of game without blinking an eye...

    See, now that makes me laugh.

    Also, the fact that there is, or was a whole country or race of Ninja Nurses is awesome.

    Its double plus awesome when you have Valentine vs Peacock, and Peacock goes "Helllooooooo Nurse!"

    Valentine, Cerebella, and the teacher are a bit much, but it's not that different from say Ivy and Taki. I think it might just be more noticeable because of the concise roster.

    I really want one of the fish people as a fighter. Minette is adorable.

    it's no worse than any DoA game, plus the art is fantastic so i don't mind

    though i actually appreciate when there is some slow-down so you can actually get a look at some of these really quick frames, there's some really funny ones.

    I would bone Parasoul silly. I don't give a shit about the rest. This game's art and setting are an All of the Above collective of Art Deco, Lovcraftian Horror and Tits.

    I wonder what the sales figures are for this for both consoles. I want this game to succeed. With this, BlazBlue and Soul Calibur V, it's a good year for fighting games. Unless you are Capcom, in which case, die of Aids plz.

    Man, using Valentine's Mortuary Drop as an assist was pretty effective against me. Good job, computer.

    I think the different strategies between number of fighters on your team is pretty interesting. A skilled person using 1 character against someone not as good with 3 characters is kind of brutal. I haven't messed around with custom tag powers, but using the defaults doesn't seem to level that too much. It looks like being able to do Blockbuster Sequels would be the biggest advantage.

    Marie is still just annoying. Form 1: stay right next to her, combo, block, repeat. Form 2: stay with her, combo, Blockbusters, block, repeat. Form 3: If your blockbusters still hit, spam, otherwise hope you can hit her with jumping hk/hp before you get locked down. Anyone have a more elegant way?

    Other big advantage of multiple person teams is being able to regenerate redlife.

    Marie's last form is pretty easy actually. Stand beneath her or just to the left/right of middle and spam any button that hits high. Valentine's launcher, Parasoul's launcher, Filia's standing H, etc. This, of course, is provided you're playing on Sleepwalk or Easy. Normal or above and she's a bit more of a pain in the ass.

    Also, has anyone figured out the code for the 10th palette that Ravi mentioned? I'm about to go try the
    Street Fighter 2 code: down, R1 or R2, up, L1/L2, square, X

    There's a big thread on SRK where they are trying all kind of codes for SG to try and unlock last one.
    The SF2 code has been tried and not found working, but then I dont think its been tried in all menus yet..

    Also, there's already a Cho Aniki fighting game, albeit a terrible one.

    Spoilering because it's awful, and not even all that homosexual or blatant about innuendo. It's just truly bad.

    Oh my god...

    Did one of Parasoul's egret assist moves, and before the guy leaves he says "well, excuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

    Nice.

    Also i suck hardcore vs ms fortune... I cannot beat her. The best i can hope for is running out the clock

    turns out i'm pretty good with painwheel, i can keep good pressure on and even have a combo or two down pat.
    i think this is my favorite fighting game, despite how hard it is

    played some random dude online who kicked my ass over and over, but i managed to get better and kill off most of his team. i had him down to cerebellum but he was really fucking good with that character.

    you're right, actually, it's only valentine, cerebella and parasoul, and to a lesser extent filia, who are kinda gross and juvenile in their design

    peacock is also one of the best character designs ever, especially considering her moves

    it's just that the boobly characters are really visible and splashed all over the game, and the weird deformed-tit teacher character is on every screen in tutorial mode

    yeah, peacock singlehandedly made me go from dislike to loving the game

    also I guess they gotta splash the generic "hot" characters to sell/market better. no one would buy a game with double on the cover.
