My only problem with Character Creation is the stats. It seems arbitray what items give what stat boosts, so instead of picking the combination that look the best, you are picking the combination that give you the best stats, even if it looks stupid. Then, your character, with the upgraded stats, is more powerful than the regular characters, making it unfair to use that character.

Good matches Seto. Your Cervantes was a pain in my ass. I was only blocking like 25% of those spiraling whatchamawhosits. Amy and Talim are the only two characters I can play well enough to where I don't wind up spamming attacks from button mashing. I'm working on other characters to keep things fresh.

Our Yoda duel was depressing.

Well you can't win by button bashing.
Instead you spam attack with a overpowered quick move (case and point; Pit) before smash attacking, rinse and repeat.

By the way the only reason I picked Yoda was because I saw you didn't have the achievement. I taunted heavily so you would get that one, too.

Hey, at least our Yoda duel got us that achievement. But yeah, I barely play as him, and have no idea how to use force powers. As you could probably tell, Cervantes is my favorite character, and I should play as other characters. I use to play as Mitsarughi in SC1, but I find him to be too slow in this game. I was having a hard time pulling off Cervantes' Dead Rush setup; it is what leads me to do his best attacks, but it is a bit slow. But that Spiral Thing is deadly, and is great to use it when someone begins a combo. It gets me away and leaves them open. I tried not to spam it too much ;)

I thought we were evenly matched though. Outside of the Yoda duel and the one where I played as Maxi, all of our matches were close, even when I was getting beat down my Amy.

Yeah, I got both of those. And, at the end of our last match, I got the one for KOing someone with an unblockable attack. So thanks for your help!

I havent tried this one yet, but I played SC3 quite alot. The thing I hated about that game though is that to beat the high level CPUs, you had to play a certain style, which no human player would ever play like, resulting in you beating CPUs of the highest difficulty with ease, yet you get defeated by people that have never tried the game before. >_>

Yeah, our Amy vs Cervantes match(es?) always went to the last round with two points for each. But Mitsurugi... he is a killing machine if you do nothing but press... Y or X i believe it is. Anytime I come up against a Mitsurugi online it's the same deal. I was caught off guard by you not using it, I didn't know how to react.

I never gave Cervantes much play, but I did use Shura who is a clone of him. Is the Dead Rush set up what you kept trying to catch me with when I would be coming down from your hell spiral? It was an unblockable attack but it would go over me each time my limp body was plummeting to the earth.

Edit:
Next time we play we should set it to a five round game and get each other the Pheonix achievement; from what I've seen the battles rarely ever last long enough in Story/Arcade/ or Online to get to the point where one of the combatants armor is completely broken off.

Also, what the fuck is with getting an achievement from just turning the game on?
that is one big pile of worms there. they also released a patch for the game on release day. anyone who had that achievement dated before the release is banned from playing SC4 online. Trying to go after the people buying copies early.

Dead Rush is when I just randomly glowed and didn't do anything. Once you are glowing, you can unleash a few, strong attacks. Whenever I glowed and then teleported towards you, thats was one of the attacks.

And yeah, I'll probably be on later tonight, if you want to get the Pheonix achievement. I kinda like how achievements mean unlocking stuff ingame. That was a nice touch.

My Live subscription apparently ran out just now and I'm stuck in some endless loop where I can't get into my account management to re-subscribe because it keeps telling me I have to be logged in to edit my account.

Newer Edit:

Got it figured out.

Yeah, they both looked pretty damn nice. Did you make them yourself? I've been trying to brainstorm people to try to make.

Bitches are going to love my Stahn when I get it ready.

>_>

It takes me a while to unlock things...

<_<

...although I'm liking how cheaply everything is priced in this game compared to III. It took forever to unlock anything worth a damn in that game.

Actually...

[Characters I've noticed I'll be able to make eventually]
Haseo and Atoli (.Hack G.U.)
Kain (Legacy of Kain; Usurper Armor, anyone?)


I shall add to this list as I notice more bits of armor, and whatnot.

Also, I just noticed that Ivy's sword looks a hell of a lot like Dymlos at times.

My reputation is getting creamed on X-box Live. I guess everytime I win a round I get a complaint logged against me. I went and checked out my stats given the influx of "reputation destruction" topics on the SCIV board and saw they weren't lying... I'm almost up to 60% avoided now, with the biggest complaint lobbied against me being trash talking though I rarely if ever plug in my mic. Wonder if taunting pisses people off that much?
