MB:AA to NOT appear at SBO 2009

[Chie Satonaka]

2. Nobody here plays MBAC anyway
3. Why do you care?

I agree. Although I can't agree with MBAA sucking because the hype this game is getting isn't even from people who even play the game let alone actually say something positive about MB in general and if no one played MBAC we wouldn't have Chibi trying to convince Larry to put MBAC back in the lineup so clearly some, not a lot, are still willing to play MBAC.

But, its not like it matters or anything since most of the MB players here will shit on it at the drop of a hat knowing damn well they still play MBAC and will still play MBAA 

and Thana clearly doesn't know anything about EITHER of the games balances when half the cast in F/UC have infinites, Rider dibble reps with....2-MUTHA FUCKIN' A!!!!!!!!11111oneELEVEN! and Gilgamesh has a one button infinte? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBSu-suLg7w Come on now? Really? And you say MBAC/A is shitty to look at? We all know its the cool thing to shit on MBAC and all, but if you're really gonna shit on MBAC do it right. Lurk in #MBAC moar.

i admit that im only a casual player but damn.... MB kicks shit alright, the only downfall of this game is its shitty character sprites lol, havent encountered another title that'd compete with its gameplay, it focuses more on tactics and positioning.

iv'e played some of those arcades like sf3s,tekken6,ggac,mvc2 etc... and imo, graphic wise , they'd beat the MB franchise anytime, however MB's gameplay contents makes out for it. and about fuc, ive already played it and really enjoyed it at first, but then i realized that juggling in this game is even worse than tekken lol.... its got cool graphics but thats that, its combos are really hard to crack but hell, you'll get sick of watching the same combos again and again for an hour or two. you'll just need to time your first strike then bam! juggle all the way, heck ive seen a shirou player draining almost 80% of his opponents life lol, he couldn't even do mana burst (kinda like circuit spark) at that time 

but yeah... its just an opinion from a casual gamer

I personally find the sprites to be very good and they actually have smooth animation, unlike nearly any other fighter.

[Ultima66]

They're high detail but low resolution. They may also use a higher framecount than some other games (a higher number of sprites that last less frames in a single animation of the same length).

ITT: Lies, ignorance, and trolling. HOW CAN YOU TELL?

half the cast is an overstatement, and they aren't true infinites if you can burst them. On top of that, nobody has figured out how to replicate that Gilgamesh infinite, you can't tk cancel 2c except in activation, and the scoop invalids after 3 of them as well.

Seriously, I have no clue how the fuck it works.


Also, Rider's dribble does fuckawful damage, and can only be done at max activation. Rider in general has terrible damage and extremely high priority/speed/etc.

Not saying FUC is actually balanced compared to MBAA, but it's not THAT bad.

I have to agree.
Fuc is NOT BALANCED as MB, but the game is not bad at all:
1) Do combos 100% of the time at FUC is far far far far far far FAR more difficult than MB: the only game with the same combo execution difficulty of FUC is GG;

2) Gilgamesh sure as lot of advantages respect the others characters, but he is NOT invincible by any means;

3)Dark Sakura is the worst character in the game, but with very good execution (aka baloon setup) she can deal 4300 dmg with only 100% (out of 300%) bar.

Fuc has a good System: it has burst, counters, RC. I will repeat myself ,but I will say it again: the game is diffucult and very fun:it deserves SBO.

[Zaelar]

FUC is awsome.  How can you not love an updated evil zone?

You bastard.  I had happily locked away any memories of that existing.

just convince sbo staff to put in 2.009A already
no need AA or AC already lololol

[Nightvoomer]

I'm not saying AH2 is a bad game at all. It might be more solid than MBAA. I just don't like how the publishers tried to sleaze extra money and caused a situation a while back where half the qualifier locations could only run AH instead of AHF because they couldn't afford the upgrade.

This just happened again, 1000 for the new AH2 patch and its required for SBO.

[bucklemyshoe]

off topic but kind of related.

just to let you guys know, SBO 08'd DVD is on sale @ PA right now http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-a120-71-7x-49-en-84-j-70-2x30.html

[humbaba]

Well considering that SBO is a business first and foremost, there's nothing to be surprised about.

There's nothing surprising about the fighting game with the second-highest coin drop rate in Japan being passed over?

Wait, what?

It very well could be a business-related decision (ie: Ecole/Sega's licensing terms could be so onerous that it really could price them out), but something else is going on here.

Where do you have that info from, if i may ask.
If there's some kind of ranking list i'd like to have a look please. Thanks

[AkiraTheMastodon]

Ask and ye shall receive.

Currently at third.

[GameKyuubi]

While we're spouting conspiracies, I bet EXAMU is in cahoots with SBO, announcing that AH is in SBO and then releasing mandatory billion dollars patch if you want your arcade to be frequented for prelims.   

[Alfonse]

If the 'infinite' in question requires precise timing, does it still constitute as an exploit? 

[GameKyuubi]

Doesn't matter if it's an exploit or not.
