Heh heh... one of the main rules of life... You just haven't met them yet....

I dunno... DoA costumes aren't as racy as they used to be... DoA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, now.... there's a better match...

Those things are cheap as dirt on eBay right now... I think I paid 7 USD for mine, inc. shipping... Here, click on this...

That is a great move... nothing like laying the beat-down on some scrub and then stomping on them.... always a crowd pleaser, too.... The move is K, down, though....

That it does.... The blurb beneath the stand doesn't mention price. It states that it's planned for release in March, but that's about it... and Yamato's site doesn't have it listed.... not that I'd expect it anyway....

Isn't that the truth... if you can get Ivy's whip out and moving, it's game over for beginners and a lot of intermediate players. Players who can GI will jerk you out of it pretty quick, though... Ivy actually has a surprising number of pretty quick moves... her quick knee (f, K) is a move I use a lot to break up the faster characters. That and b, B.....

Ack.... those double crescent blades are nuts.... I prefer to play without the extra weapons, though... I generally don't play the extra modes, anyway. I'm usually playing Survival, Time attack (still haven't beaten extreme), or vs. CPU in practice mode.... I'd love to do more PvP action, but few arcades around here carry it, and it seems that very few people are willing to play me, either.... mebbe I should get to a tourney, but I'm not exactly sure of my skill level.... GI is something that can get you in a good bit of trouble even if you do use it.... especially if you're playing a person who has a better GI game than you do.... I tend to ignore GI (to my detriment, I admit) and use Parry more often...

According to this, contact has been reestablished.....

I've seen both be extremely nasty, and I'd say Cassandra is pretty damn good... but I'd probably agree with you that Cervantes is the best. When I was in Japan last year, I had the honor of being beat down extremely violently by a pro Cervantes player... I was playing Astaroth at the time, but man... it was brutal. Cervantes is certainly a bastid.... Not sure I agree with their rating of characters, though... I'm not quite clear on how they created the chart, and the thread on soulcalibur.com doesn't exist anymore...

Debateably, Cassandra is the best player in the game. She's got range, and is good at multiple ranges, level games, a great wakeup game, unpredictability, and does great damage. It's too damn bad I can't play her worth a crap.... I've always got my Ivy, though... and Astaroth... and Seung Mina.... and Xianghua....

Heh heh... I love Xianghua.... she's my fourth character, but I usually do better with her than I do with Seung Mina.... I agree on the Japanese vocal cast. I remember watching the credits for the first time, and seeing all those names, and was just like.... daaaamn... sweet. Aya Hisakawa is one of my favorite seiyuu of all time, anyway....

Great stuff... seen it before, somewhere, but great stuff....

Think that one is the EYES of Mars....

Just what gun is that guy handling in the lower left? Doesn't look like a Gallant and doesn't look like a Wolff autopistol.... Otherwise.... sweeeeet. I might have to get Online for this one....

Boo hiss, none of my favorites were on the list! So I went for third and voted for the VF-1S....

I want a Glaug, Regult of all four types, and a Zentradi soldier. I'd also like to see some decently sized (12-14 in) Macross... and some Zentradi Capitol Ships wouldn't go amiss.... and oh yeah... DESTROIDS!

I think everyone should have the VF-1S 1/48, whether it is Hikaru or Roy.... I didn't much like the Low-Vis, so I knew I wasn't going to buy it... and still have no interest. I do think that everyone should have a Max and Millia in some scale... I'm waiting on the 1/48s myself. They should probably also have a FP version for some scale, and a GBP, but I'll likely skip the GBP, unless they just do a knockout job on a 1/48 version. I don't like the GBP in general, and I'm not all that impressed by the 1/60... So... VF-1S 1/48, any type. Fast Pack version, any scale. Pref 1/48 as it comes with Strike and Super.... Max and Milia, any scale. GBP, any scale.

The English version is absolutely evil... the Japanese version is much better. I'm not much of a fan of the series in general, but I do like the music very much...

You know.... I never thought of that. That's a damn good point... and one I'll have to second. If they do wind up using caucasians (and chances are good), it would be best for the names to change.... it's painful enough hearing English dubs destroying Japanese names, I'd hate to see them do it in live action.... But then, most anime has caucasian looking characters with Japanese names... oh, my head.... edit for spellin'

According to the interview here, the target age for the Children will be around 15....

Sweet... I've been holding out on the Max and Millia 1/60s just in case.... Hopefully my cash flow will be in better shape come spring....

Hmm.... Here's ten from my collection... Neon Genesis Evangelion GTO Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Bubblegum Crisis (orig. series) Card Captor Sakura Cowboy Bebop Project A-ko (and the rest) Crest of the Stars (Banner and Banner II incl.) Serial Experiment Lain Miyazaki films (all- can this man make a bad film?) Not necessarily the best, but all stuff I love....

I kind of agree. I don't think that they could get away with using 14 yr olds here in the states for some of the things that go on in NGE.... 16-17, sure... maybe. 14? Nope.... If they do go for older, I really hope they stick close to the 18-19 zone.... All said and done, though, I'm kinda fearing this one... I just don't see how it could be done well. I used to say that about LotR, though, so I'll just wait and see, I guess.

Heh heh... maybe I should invest in some stock.... Are they even on the exchange?

I prefer the super mode.... Strike just looks so... awkward. Dual strike is pretty cool, though. I guess I'm just all about the symmetry....
