Meh it was a small file so hopefully the quality wont suck too much... well here it is:

GGXXAC+r Gutabo vs Justin Wong (Potemkin mirror), casuals late at night after some drinks at the pizza alley

If I'm rusty in SF4, you can bet your ass I am rustier at GG. I don't even know the full list of +r changes, and it shows. Justin surprised me with his rushdown, back when I played with Pot(I also used venom, testament and johnny back then) I was used to go after people myself and also because it's the middle of a set there is already some mutual conditioning going on. I only used Pot in this set tho. Still we had fun and the score was 15-4 or something like that, I lost of course.
but that comeback tho!

Kotaku put up their post about JJBA:ASB's release date quite close to me mentioning it here. Hmm. :)

Going to play Young Joseph, as I already know him reasonably well. We'll see how well he holds up down the line, though.

Speaking of JoJo's ASB, I found it a little odd at first when the EU article came out, it still referred to Kira's stand as Killer Queen. With name changes being done to avoid copyright I was surprised to even see the name listed in an official article. CyberConnect2 makes a facebook post about the US release last night and they used Deadly Queen instead.

Regional censorship maybe? Still thinking of name changes on the last moment? Already decided on the name a while ago and the EU article slipped up? I'm probably leaning on the latter two guesses, personally.

edit - To make this even more (dare I say) bizarre, the pre-order page on Club Namco also lists Killer Queen.

Any rate, I'm still looking forward to giving this a shot.

SOULCALIBUR II HD ONLINE - UPDATE YOUR GAME NOW

We are pleased to announce that a new patch for SoulCalibur II HD Online will be deployed very shortly.

Here is the patch note:

Online Matching service improvements:

* Improved matching filters. Players will now have the choice to search an opponent depending on his region.
Available region are: “North America”, “South America”, “Europe”, “Asia” and “ANY”.
ANY do not means all regions. ANY means all regions except “North America”, “South America”, “Europe”, and “Asia”.
* Online matching search settings are now saved until the console is rebooted.
* Rematch option can now be chosen during Online Free Match mode. The option have to be activated when player creates the game.
* Communication quality meter is now displayed along the fight next to opponent’s ID.

Fixed historical known bugs of the original SoulCalibur II PAL version released 10 years ago:

* Cervantes crash bug from Arcade Version has been fixed
Cervantes A+K (Guard Impact)
* Fixed bugs on several characters
Ivy 4A+B → B cannot be guard > Fixed
Maxi's 3B+K → B hits twice > Fixed
Voldo's "Mantis Fire Dance". Mantis Crawl => 66 is cancelled by pressing G while command is performed > Fixed
Kilik's K is hit, it can be cancelled by pressing G > Fixed

Well didn't expect this. Felt really burned about SCII HD's online mode and this makes it a lot better. Plus they fixed the glitches from the Pal/Arcade versions too.

Those Young Joseph combos at IVGC were so cool. :)
I'll probably stick with DIO and Lisa-Lisa. I suppose the online won't be region-locked? I wouldn't mind playing some fellow european gaffers, even though I haven't touched the game for ages and only ever played it against the CPU, for lack of local competition. ^^

so far I've knocked off ryu, ken, Chun, dictator, Sakura and Adon. I was sort of hitting them randomly and now I'm doing them in order, so Honda is up. why is the challenge music so much better than the training music? I swear training has the worst music in the game.

Personally I think both are terrible. Training stage should always be DANCE PARTY music.

Haha, so they smartened up and moved the time slot, but now they have moved it a little too far.

Should have made it 9 or 10PM EST, that way PST can still make it home after work to catch it.

I have always loved Indestructible. It actually boggles my mind a bit that it's performed by what is essentially a boy band (right?).

Can't keep anything from the internet nowadays, can you. =)

As small as you think these gestures might be, I always appreciate when someone can take the time out of their day to do a kindness for another. Being the recipient of that, I just want to say thank you to all of FGC GAF for your well-wishes. They have not gone unnoticed and are deeply appreciated.

Because, you know, feels.

I like this. Illuminati are required to have a code name. This is as good as any =)

I already have a code name.

All of this.

It's not the best move for the the EC
Tekken players
, but for those in central/pacific time zones, it's much more managable if you're at home and you just pull it up on your device.

It will be interesting to see if there's a decent bump in the numbers as a result. I think there will be a bump, but not sure how big.

That, and they need to get Marvel and/or new players rotated in. I still want to know why no one from team EG has been on (has anyone confirmed they will be in season 4?).

I'm waiting to see how they handle the in game audio.

I mean editing text us one thing, but kira pretty clearly says Killer Queen in some key lines. Same with stuff like Gold Experience and Purple Haze etc.

If there aren't too many lines missing ill support jojo in the west and buy digital. If not, I got my jp copy. Hopefully online isn't region locked

"@gootecks

Just got word from @esgn_tv that fight night is moving to 8pm pst/11pm est starting Monday! Watch at http://esgntv.com"

Just FYI. The only stream I could watch live, but since the viewer numbers were abysmal, I guess it makes sense.
