Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2005 I'm shocked. SC2 and T5 are literally the only recent arcade fighters available for play to me within about a 40 mile radius. It should be easy to find a T5 machine if you aren't totally in the boonies. I pretty much only bother with the novelty and old school games at arcades. I don't really have the desire to spend too much money on getting my ass handed to me for 15 seconds in the hot new fighting game by someone who has devoted countless hours to it. I just can't afford that. I will likely hit up the arcades once I get good at DDR on my Xbox, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted March 25, 2005 The arcade is the place to get good at it, even if it's $1 for 3 freaking songs. Unless you have a really good game mat, which I didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 T5 really shows what PS2 is capable of, and imo looks as good as any fighter on X-Box. No reason SC3 wouldn't look that good. The screenshots out so far look like ass, actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 Screens and info here: http://worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=24...order=0&thold=0 Damn, the character designs on the new characters are REALLY, REALLY shitty. I'm talking Necro-shitty. Edit: Okay, Setsuka isn't that bad, just not that original. The others suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 I like all 3. The game looks good. There still hasn't been any mention of an arcade release.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anya 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 It's coming out for PS2 before arcade. According to Namco it's more of a console game than an arcade title. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Eek no arcade release and I'm assuming no public beta. This makes me very worried. Hopefully it'll turn out okay. I've heard people saying there'll be destructable environments and multi-tiered levels. Bleh. I don't like gimmicks. If I wanted that kind of crap, I'd play DoA. I do like the character concepts, though. The scythe guy has a cool look, and he could have a neat moveset if he's not too similar to Asta or Kilik. The girl with the ring has a lot of potential for a fun moveset too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jer 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Toshinden was badass. I loved Master, especially when you could map special moves to buttons so that you could press R1 once and have her shoot like 10 swords at you. Hotness. SC3 needs stuff like that. And fatalities.

Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Setsuka is Zhang He was breasts and an umbrella. Simply awful. Well, really, they all do look horrible to me.... even though scythes are cool. I kinda thought Amy was going to be in this game. Either I read that somewhere a while ago or it came up in an "OMG that'd be cool" conversation. Whatever.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Setsuka is Zhang He was breasts and an umbrella. Simply awful. Not really--more like Mai in one of her win poses, and with an added gimmick stolen from a number of sushi westerns. I bet she's really a man, and adopted the persona of a geisha to lure the men she seeks vengeance against into a vulnerable position, pulls the sword out of her umbrella--skkkt! Toshinden was badass. I loved Master, especially when you could map special moves to buttons so that you could press R1 once and have her shoot like 10 swords at you. Hotness. SC3 needs stuff like that. And fatalities. And sadly, it would probably sell better if they added that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
