I would say 120 seconds per flight, based on other "rules" for fighters.

mah for batteries=more is better. Always upgrade.

That doesn't quite match up with my experience---yes, rival theme occurs when fighting rival in arcade mode. But there's also times when I get "the theme" but that character isn't my rival--but it is "their" stage. I'm going to try to experiment more and pin it down.

Seriously (pun intended)---now I know you have owned both Lost Planet and Mass Effect, yet not played either. Is getting two uber-hard achievements really better than playing 2 whole new games?

Anti-slip stuff for when you're walking on top of the intakes.

This may be a stupid question or two, but is there any way to "force" the game to play a character's music? I never heard Ryu's theme until last night--and I've had the game a week! It seems that when you fight a character in "their" stage you get their music instead of the stage's "generic" music---well with all the characters and stages, I figure it might be months before I hear them all at this rate. It just seems stupid to make "the really good songs" occur so rarely and randomly. And no music test in the options sucks too. (I noticed that one of the time/survival trials seemed to intentionally match up characters/stages, but ironically they were all the ones I'd already managed to hear except for one) Related note: anyone got a list of whose stage is who's? Some are fairly easy to assume, but some I don't have a clue.

Does the head come off easily? Ken/Ryu swaps would make "instant repaints for free" if you owned several figs.

I think he simply expected her to go "home to the fleet" with no ulterior motives. His goal was to save her life by getting her off the ship, nothing more. And dressing up as Athena would make it a lot easier to sneak her onto a Raptor so he thought nothing of that.

I'm going to see the movie, and read the book, period. The question is which first.

Everyone seen the strategy guide for Ken?

Only the chief didn't know what was in the trunk. (just clarifying for people)

The first half I was thinking "not much is happening for being so close to the end, when every minute counts" but it all came together at the end---and was better for having built up so gradually.

Half of Australia's Super Hornets are to be modified on the production line to allow for future conversion to E/A-18Gs. They'll basically be F/A-18Fs with lots of extra wiring/software inside.

I dare not venture into that thread for even a second, for fear of being spoiled. (there's pretty much no spoiler-rule for something 20+ years old)

Mai *rocked* in KOF '97. Nerfed ever since then. (97's still my overall fave in the series)

I've been debating whether to get the full/real story first, or "have no clue what's going to happen in the theater". I'm certain the novel's better and will read it at some point, but it will take away 90% of the "surprise" factor for any plot point in the movie.

I think the point is more to show how inferior the F-35 is as a fighter, than to bolster the F-22's status. (less money for the F-35 means more for the Raptor) I think the most praise the F-35's got so far is that it's "comparable to" the F-16 in a dogfight. That's not what I'd expect a brand-new plane that's supposed to replace the F-16 for the next 30+ years to be.

Also, since you need multiple perfects, that implies several first attacks anyways.

If there were, I'm sure they'd have spread across the various anime forums pretty quickly. Same as if there were any Grace flightsuit cosplay.

Everywhere here seems to have skipped the Copperhead comic pack. I saw like 3 at one Target (all with awful paint) and never again anywhere else---but lots of later ones like Beachhead/Mainframe in various stores. PS---my local TRU still had the F-22 just a few days ago.

Gotcha.

Don't forget the missiles. If it's an AA-11 vs an AIM-9M...

Have you been to the Challenger forums? There's tons of posts/dealers dedicated to "getting people a Challenger without a hassle or paying sticker". It's rare that a car in my family comes from a local dealer.

First Attacks seems to be the "little thing no one knows about because so many people do it anyways without realizing".

Minor note: her right shoulder seems to be a mirror of the left, and says "ZMZ" instead of SMS.
