Anybody have an XBL room going, or want to start one? If so shoot me an invite. GT:SoulFist7. Normally I create a room called Burly boys club, so if you see it, don't hesitate to come on in. :D

Played some Rachel mirror matches vs prototype last night. 0-7. :lol
I'm also still 3 wins, 28 losses in ranked. :lol

I'm still god awful, but I generally feel myself improving. I still really never know when to do my lightning rod, and especially don't know when to use my lightning frog, but at least I'm starting to learn her pokes and AAs. I was countering a decent amount...I just could never follow up with a combo. I only know one combo so far, which has become incredibly natural for me. Sadly, it's a shitty combo because you need to get in close enough to go through to the double jump without your opponent recovering in mid air

George is great after any combo or attack that causes knockdown, notably throwing, CC, or 3C. It's great for keeping them in the corner and, even by itself, it racks up damage. If they block, it sets up for a throw, though it's considered "in combo" so they have extended frames for teching out of it.

And the easiest, to me, ground combo for Rachel is:

6B (Counter Hit), Dash, D6C, j.C, 5B, D6C, j.C, 5B, CC OR 3C (hold), 214A.

The second D6C can be replaced with 3C (held) or CC. Pretty much you're pushing her 6C into them, comboing into her mid-air C, landing to an immediate 5B, and then re-doing that and finishing with a knockdown attack. I think this combo, or a variation, is on the tutorial disc. Only real issue is for the relatively short length it uses two Silpheed bars :(

I've been trying to do a 236B32146C finish and see if that works any (batpole to immediate DD activation) but I keep forgetting to try it when I play and I'm just too used to going right into the George XIII.

Haven't played in a few days, I wonder if I'm going to be out of stick practice again :(

Thanks for the tips. It's going to take me a while to get that combo down, but I'll give it a shot tonight. I'll try to make it a priority to learn one new combo a night...though that may be stretching it a bit.

Oh, what's George? :eek:

Haha, oops. George XIII is the name of the frog. I learned most the attacks from reading combo lists before playing the game so I remembered "George" before I knew it was a frog so I tend to say that.
 
By the time I want to get this game for PS3 it's already sold out at Amazon (I have a $50 gift certificate I can use on it)...anyone know if Amazon is planning to restock? They also have one of the better deals on the game too, $55 (well that's for the 360 version).

They'll probably restock with the standard edition at the end of the month. You'll just miss out on the soundtrack and bonus tutorial DVD.

If 'standard edition' also means 'cheaper' then I'm all for it...most likely I'll get it along with KOF12 at the same time then. Thanks.

Same price. If you're set on getting the LE, you better start looking and get is asap before it's sold out everywhere (which it may be). The 360 version is easier to find, at least.

Wait a second...why were you saying it wasn't in?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001W6JFM0/?tag=neogaf0e-20

In stock, and $5 off on top of that.

edit: oh wait you're going PS3 version. My bad!

With the limited edition, is the game case a standard dvd case (360) and not some tin case or cheap paper case?

I'm sure it is.

The PS3 LE comes with a Blu-Ray case (thickness of a PS3 case) with all three discs in. Very solid package.

edit: here are pictures of the packages:

I picked up the last LE copy I saw in a Best Buy over the weekend.

I'm loving it so far. I'm not a real big Fighter gamer, but this game is great! Doing story mode for a few of the characters, but I can't 100% them...(I know of the Lose to all, Win to all, different paths, etc) but I've done all that and am stuck at 76% for Ragna, 87% for Jin and 75% for Noel.

Anyway, I've tried the Network mode...and while I won my very first Ranked Match against a level 31 LOL, I'm finding it difficult to join a room or find anyone who wants to battle. I'm a level 2 now, and everyone is at least level 30 when I enter a room. I am immediately kicked from the room because I'm a noob. Awesome.

I try to create my own room, people enter, them leave because I am level 2. Sorry for not buying the game on Day 1 and being level 30 yet guys! :lol

Any PSN people wanna play sometime, add me: Awesome2TheMax

The 360 case doesn't look like that though. It looks just like the game case with the green coloring and everything, not the black shown here.

Ah my bad. Guess the promo images are off.

The PS3 one looks spot on.

command timing windows are totally different
plus, SFIV had the simplified inputs that sometimes made performing Ultras a bit harder if you entered the command ambiguously

I'd would get it for 360, but a) I'm not on live gold anymore, and b) all my joysticks/gear is on PS3. Oh well, I'll think about getting the PS3 LE in a B&M store or something if the SE is the same price...I don't know now :lol

I hate calling stores to ask if they have this game.

You can never be sure that they actually know how it's spelled so they can properly search their databases.

While we're throwing out PSN IDs: Scy46.

Haven't played in a few days but I'm a decent, albeit scrubby, Rachel. I dunno, I can never tell when some of the Ranked Matches I play make me wonder how they got their level sometimes.
 
Yeah, lots of people to play PSN due to the chatroom. If you guys want in just message
(psn tags listed)

FindMyFarms
Ferrio
AkachanNingen
Eraldocoil (or is it eraldo_coil)
Moodyshuffle

And ask for a room invite. You'll have better luck that way as opposed to just listing your own psn.

Also LOL at earlier in this thread when peeps were telling us to list this stuff in the online forum, just goes to show that no one reads that thread

6 players is too long a wait lol, I started making my rooms w/ a 4 player cap, seems to be teh sweet spot.

Ya, anything over 4 and I start getting really impatient. Usually what happens you get like 3 games in if you're losing then people go "oh well i gotta leave".... pfft come back here I need my revenge.

It does look like that, just the DVD + 2 disc soundtrack case is clear on the outside not black. The game case is the same shown in the picture.

Does the 360 have the game lobbies as well to where you can spectate matches and chat?

Man I need to sop tripping and get this game!
Of course.

And, yes, hurry up! We should add each other :D

Yes lots of new players pick her up. Her Drive stuff is damaging as all hell, easy to spam, has mixups, and has invulnerability frames making it a pain in the butt.

Yep. Noel and Jin are the easiest characters to get started with. Noel is by far the easiest character to get simple combos going thanks to her drive.

You'll still get punished by good players for D spamming though. If you like her, don't let her noob status discourage you, some players bring her well beyond the noob status.
