Problem Sir?
I think Warner Bros. is trying piss me off.
Its not working.
Gentlemen your thoughts on this fight stick.
If I gave a crap about, or ever thought I would play seriously as Reptile, Scorpion, or Sub-Zero, I might consider getting something more than the simplest version of the game available. As it stands, however, no.
As for a fight stick, I know that many fighting game enthusiasts swear by them. However, since I am not particularly good at fighting games in general and arcade games in total, I'll be passing on this one, too.
Besides, fight sticks seem counter-intuitive to me when the same series of key presses would take fewer muscle motions on a standard controller.

... Speaking of which, R1665, who would you pick as your main out of the currently confirmed roster for the next MK?
"Currently confirmed" is the key phrase, I assume. Out of the OFFICIAL ABSOLUTE 100% CONFIRMED by ED BOON roster, I would have to go with Jax. I REALLY like his MK9 design. Johnny Cage would be my second.
Subject to change with more official reveals.

A general response that everybody usually has about premium skins, but the fact they get there original fatalities from there selective special editions still kinda tempts me. I don't bye special editions often but to just to get sub-zeros spine rip almost feels worth for me almost.
.......
That certain character would be jarek???
^^,
progress???
........
Nope, not Jarek... Jarek is only my second favorite. I'm talking about my TOP guy...
R1665
I know who this person is...
And I say he could use a little R1665 in his MK9 design! Hell man, just e-mail Boon your ideas or something... All I know is that if you had a say in it, this character would fuckin rock.
Of course he would! However, I'm nobody to Ed Boon. I'd be just another MK fan pitching unsolicited opinions.
R1665
Dude, I beg you, beg you, can you please tell me where you get your sound effects and special street fighter effects from. I'm trying to make my own sprite movie (with pivot, can't afford flash). And I can't find them anywhere.
My sound effects, when not directly recorded from games by myself, are extracted from the data files of PC games. They aren't available for download.
I actually own a sizable collection of PC games that my computer isn't good enough to play. They're there purely for resource extraction.
R1665
Well R1665, if you send Boon a link to VG Exiles 1, he'd have a harder time classifying you as an ordinary fan. Besides, this character NEEDS help to stay fresh. He's totally been done already in other games as well.
Also, to the guy above me, it's not really considered a "Sprite Movie" if it has no sprites. And Pivot and SF DONT go together, man.
What you gotta do is pirate Flash off of uTorrent or something... Or pay the money. It's not THAT expensive. If you haven't got the time to earn the money, you haven't got nearly enough time to animate.
life lesson from mini-dude.
Haha, you bet bud! :P
pivot 3 beta version, has a load sprite option. Mind you it takes forever to even make the background move but its all I have. I can't blow up my computer with a torrent virus again, lost the freakin startup cd.
So right now its pivot 3, paint.net, camstudio, and hopefully a swf converter. if I get any of this to go right I deserve a damm medal.
I hope I don't get My spine ripped
I hate it when there are tiers list.when I play Marvel vs. Capcom2 I;m just minding my own buissiness and someone plays against me and chooses Storm,Psylocke,and magnito.or,cable,ironman and again magnito.That pisses me off alot.
Hey, thought I'd throw my 2 cents in:
I don't think your submission's high rating is because of a feeling of overratedness towards Akuma. I personally think Akuma is awesome, and I thought it for a long time before I found out he was so popular. It was my own opinion without any outside influence.
I think this is more from people getting hyped that you're releasing easter eggs for VGE3. Not only are you a good story teller, your sprite animations and ideas are fresh as can be. I'm thinking the high ratings are a form of support from your fans, saying that we know you're going to rock our faces with awesome and we can't wait. At least that's why I voted 5 :D
Sooo.... Any updates on that artwork yet? Us loyal fans are slowly losing our senses, and are tempted to shoot your art guy. >_>; Dunno how many of us, certainly not me.... I would never.... *Hides pistol.*
WHAO I was listening to Juno Reactor (never heard there music before) when Masters of the Universe came on! Fucking great choice of music for your 2nd sprite flash. Rock on R1665.
BTW what do you think of there latest album Gods and Demons. Immaculate Crucifiction has an undeniably good build up sense.
It's alright. There's not a whole lot of potential fight anthems in it, especially considering the darker path that the VG Exiles is taking. IMO, the best action track is Tanta Pena and smoothuser already claimed it.
R1665
.....So looking forward to Exiles3 as a christmas present. Or a New Years present. *crosses fingers*
Not gonna happen, but I do have some other goodies for you guys...
R1665
You know what band has been almost completely forgotten??
SKINDRED.
If you never heard of 'em before, check out Nobody- Skindred lyrics on youtube. Make sure you get the lyrics in there, because it's almost impossible to understand what their saying unless you know the song...
Lemme know if you like them.
Of course, there's always my TOP favourite band, which would be Papa Roach. But hey, you gotta be living underneath a fuckin' rock if you haven't heard of them.
IMO, Papa Roach went downhill after the INFEST album. After that, they kinda lost their spark of individuality. Everything I hear of Papa Roach now sounds like everything else on the radio: neutered.
Just my opinion.
R1665
What do you think of kung lao and his backstory?
I think Kung Lao's backstory remains quite bland considering how much time the developers have put into him. However, his character design is spectacular. He's kinda the fantasy love child of Bruce Lee and Oddjob. If that's not a formula for coolness, I don't know what is.
He deserves better than having to be Liu Kang's sidekick.
R1665
Papa Roach has gotten tamer and tamer over the years, but Last Resort will always be with me. Now that Jacoby's stated he's never doing any more of that "rap shit" I don't think Papa Roach will ever be the same.
Papa Roach has gone mainstream, and most of the songs suck dick, addmitedly, but they still have that spark somewhere. They just need to ignite the flame.
Cut my life into pieces!
"they still have that spark somewhere"
I honestly don't see it. Truth be told, I cannot think of a single band that has ever truly regained their spark after losing it. You can never go home again.
I can certainly name lots of bands that have changed/developed for the worse, though, and Papa Roach definitely fits that bill. Oh well. There are too many awesome bands still in the underground to worry too much about those fatally poisoned by the mainstream. Nothing gets through the mainstream unscathed.

I never said he WASN'T an egotistical dick. I was just attempting to succeed at a challenge I probably can't win, but am too damn stubborn to give up.
Okay, his design IS rather... Extremely bland. I could make a better edit in less than 4 minutes.... But other than some different techniques, he's not much...
R1665 (Updated )
Fair enough. It was kind of a loaded, rhetorical challenge. I'm really just trying to encourage some critical analysis within Akuma fans. If just one person has that, "damn, I guess he does kinda suck... never really thought about that" moment of clarity, then I will have done some good in the world...
