I think if you can reach 29, something cool will happen. o_O

So I beat story mode with Slayer...and I'm trying to find another character to get good with. I practiced with Axl low for a while...and he's cool. He has extremely good range. And while playing as him I tried my hand at Roman Cancels. I decided to cheat and set L2 = 3 different attack buttons. :\

So a roman cancel isnt too hard anymore. I managed to link 3 moves together that wouldnt normall link. I still havnt decided what character to master. GGXX is the wierdest fighter I've ever played. It doesnt focus very much on combo's...and one of my problems is just understanding what type of figther this is and what it is expecting from me.

I also messed around a little with Venom. Wierd wierd wierd.

You know, you've only played through one story path though. Check the faqs and go through all his paths. I think you can unlock his artwork or something.

Yeah, GGXX is totally different from conventional fighters. The closest game to it is KOF, because of the combo system.

Aren't you playing VF4:Evo too?

Yeah, I've been playing through the story mode thing on VF4:Evo with Kage (that was before you said he was over used). I started trying to be good with Alex after you mentioned that, though there was one of the Asian girls I also like using. VF4 is an awesome fighter...I love how it goes back to the old hands and feet era...no fireballs or super duper special moves...just good fighting. But since I got GGXX I've been playing it the most (hard not to play a new game), and I have taken a great liking to Venom...cool character, interesting fighting style. Not to mention I love pool. :\

The wierd thing about GGXX is that the game isnt all about combo's. I mean they are ok, but you are forced not to rely on them, because as the combo goes on, each consecutive hit does less and less damage. Kind of neat.

I'll post further impressions about my experiances after I've played a little longer.

Asian Girl = Pai Mei.

I love Pai Mei. I created her alter ego, "Mmm, Pai." She was wearing a seductive red dress.

And that's some good stuff right there.

Well, I just returned home from my 3 night vacation in the Smoky Moutains...and it was pretty cool. Brought me a little closer to nature, I got to shop a lot and buy cool clothes.

But the highlight was just goofing off in the arcade. I played a few rounds of DDR (sadly there wasn't hardly anyone there, so I didnt get to show off), but I DID play a lot of Capcom vs. SNK. They had a machine set up there, and it was only a quarter to play until you lost, and I could play a LONG time on a single quarter, so I spent a good deal of time playing that game. I used Ken, Chun Li, and that green guy that uses lightning...cant remember his name at the moment.

I probably would have stayed there playing it all night given the opportunity.

On the way home we stopped at a mall...and I bought a new video game: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. I'm actually getting ready to go pop it in and play it right now in a second. Woohoo! I have bought like 3 fighter games in the last 3 weeks....tee hee.

I'll post how much I like it in a little while.

Blanka, his name is Blanka.

He is teh god. Teh Jesus even.

Trip sounds sweet.....i have no idea wherre you went, but im guessing it was a forested area...lol...

and man, a whole quarter? I dont know, that seems like alot of coinage to me.
