Would be nice if it got an English port. They never bothered with AH2, but maybe with the recurrence of fighting games being produced the last 6 months or so, they'll be more compelled to do so.

[motoh]

They didn't bother with AH2 because it was fucking unplayable.

Who wants some hot nun on nun action? Learning Elsa AND Clarice~

[ShugotenshiOfOdin]

Oh Nom Nom, Love Them Nuns. Except I hate them, Clarice is mad gay and Elsa be spamming them DP to DP supers on me XD They're Awesome though I see you motoh on HomingCancel's mibbit lolz

[motoh]

... did you just call IRC mibbit?

I want to light you on fire.

Call me a hater but is it that fucking difficult for companies to join the 3D bandwagon? This is why 2D Fighters like Blazblue don't make as much of an IMPACT in terms of *presentation* than what's expected. I'm tired of seeing 2D fighters on a next gen console like the 360.

[motoh]

Do you actually play fighters, or just look at them?

~M

[Geothermal]

What exactly do you mean by 3D? 3D with 2D movements, like SSF4 and MvC3? Or 3D movement, like Tekken?

If it's the former, anime-styled games look pretty poor in 3D, like those half assed Naruto and DBZ fighting games. If the latter, 2D fighters have a certain technical aspect that is destroyed upon implementing that extra dimension. After all, Tekken wouldn't be ridiculed as a total juggle fest if if was 2D, because you would not be allowed to take you opponent wall to wall in one combo. Not to say Tekken isn't good, it's one of my favorites, but purely 3D fighters is hardly the answer.

I suppose I should have amended my comment to say only good 2D fighters keep combos from that type of shenanigans. I know I'm going to get hate from someone for that, but come on, it's Sengoku Basara. Sure, you can do 100% health combos even in BlazBlue, but it requires impossible circumstances like double gold bursts, 100 meter, etc.

[motoh]

You're missing the argument.
2d vs 3d doesn't matter. The whole concept of caring about the two is fucking 'drop you on the marble floor as a baby retarded.' A game's quality is irrespective of the dimensions used, and anyone who cares, as far as I'm concerned, is intellectually equivalent to a head trauma patient.

So its wrong to want a better looking fighting game for my next gen console. Whatever.

EDIT: Geothermal preety much has the idea. For example. Blazblue may be a 2D fighter but how do they fix that? With stylish looking Astral Finish moves that involve some 3D animation. That's the kind of shit I love to see in my 2D fighter. Motoh/Shugotenshi apparently disagrees.

You really don't give a shit about how the actual game plays, do you?

Astral finishes? Really? I suppose you're hyped for MK9.

~M

[IoriYagami]

Sure, gameplay is VERY important. You're right about that. But COME THE FUCK ON! It's a next gen console! Im not paying 40 bucks plus for something my PS2 can run! It's not hard to add a lil Preety to the IP.

[motoh]

You really suck at this. Your argument was that 2d sucked, not that the graphics sucked. Don't change your tune now, buddy.

Here, have what you want.



I'll even be nice and throw in some SF4 for you.



Dem pretty camera angles sure make the game better.

~M

[IoriYagami]

* shrug * And whats wrong with SSF4?

Who said I was arguing? I was stating an opinion. You're the guys who attacked for me not liking your otaku-friendly fighters

[motoh]

Even more dodging. So what is it, 2d vs. 3d, graphics, or airdashers (otaku friendly)? Nail down your argument before you open your mouth.

~M

[IoriYagami]

You're right. I do tend to be unable to put my thoughts into words correctly. What I mean is, why can't companies try to follow Capcom's example with the 2.5D aspect. Keep the original feel of a 2D fighter but have SOME 3D aspects in there. Ultra Combos for example. It doesnt matter if they suck or not, THEY LOOK BADASS! That's the kind of thing that sells a next gen console fighter for me. There. Happy?

[motoh]

Good, and I already muffed that, 2d vs 3d does not make a game look better, and making games 3d that don't need to be is pointless glitter. Like animated sidebars.

Now then, have some hot nun on nun action.
