Fighting Games

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.

Ah yes, Blanka!

Well, I've been playing Street Fighter Anniversary....and I only have a couple of complaints.

1. I wish Alpha Strike had been included.

2. I wish third strike had more classic Street Fighter characters in it, like Blanka and Guile.

Out of the games on the disc, I have been playing third strike the most, and have been honning my skills with Ken. Incidentally my brother uses Ryu. I can ususally beat him, and from my experiance I have come to conclude that Ken must be a higher tier than Ryu, as crazy as it sounds.

I tried my hand at Arcade mode this morning...I got my ass handed to me by Dudley. I guess this means I must train harder...and I'd like to learn to be able to Parry better. I can say that this will probably be the last fighting game that I purchase in a while, unless I break down and get MK

eception. I have so many fighters now to keep me busy for a very long time, and any further purchasing I do will be directed at a different genre, more than likely adventure and platforming.

Remy = Guile

All the Characters in that game are basically better versions of Street Fighter II characters.

Uhm... Man I can't think of his name but there is even a combination of Dhalsim and Blanka.

Akuma is my favorite of the 3 that play like Ryu.

He doesn't have EX moves but he has secret Supers and a nice 3 hit fireball. The Air Fireball is nice also.

I play Chun-Li.

I challenge you to a fighting game extravaganza the next time we are in the same location with the appropriate facilities!

I've actually been using Ken a whole lot, though I did experiment a little with Akuma, I ultimatly preferred Ken. I'm going to try out Remy though, since you say he is like Guile. I have also been playing around in Street Fighter II...I just wish that the health meters were larger. Matches dont last long enough.

And I think that the Blanka/Dhalsim might be Twelve or Necro, but I can't really remember.

Out of all my fighters, I've been playing Guilty Gear X2 the most recently...story mode is just so addicting. I just keep playing and playing different characters to see what all their endings are. But a result of me playing with all the characters is that I cant decide which one I like the most and want to master. :O

I thought I was Axl all the way, but I've recently discovered the joys of Eddie, Faust, and Millia Rage.

Millia is stupid. She's button mash central. I like Eddie a lot. I hate faust.

Not this weekend (because of the tournament) but maybe next I can come back home and we can spend the night at Josh's house? Like a Saturday night? That would be cool. Oh by the way, you should leave your PS2 on for 200 hours with GGXX on. It unlocks everything because the mission modes are super hard...

Heh...I actually considered leaving my PS2 running all night...but I'm afraid I would have a meltdown. :O and I agree...missions are extremely hard.

I think your idea of spending the night at Josh's is awesome!

I also find the fact you invited me to someone elses house hilarious.

Ashleigh told me at school today that we should come over to her house, though. She wants us to really bad...and we could get Josh to come too (I'm sure she wouldnt mind)...and have a fighting game extravaganza, because according to Ashleigh, that's the only thing she's competitive about.

She said that if we would come to her house, she would feed us, and you could see her awesome computer which kick's your's ass.

Maybe we should tell Josh what she is offering us, and see if he will up the ante?
