98 Iori's a pretty cool guy

'boriqua' returns

Somehow that video felt more like KOF than any of the time I spent with XIII itself did. Odd. Anyway, terrible music remixes. I really miss the old good KOF mixes, especially the AST Versions they had pre 2001. Everything up to and including 2000 was amazing, then it turned to crap. Miss Noise Factory.

Regardless, the video has inspired me to give XIII another shot. Already returned it to gamefly when i cancelled my free trial but i might pick the actual game itself up and give it a fairer shot.

You should. It's the best fighter released this gen so far, along with Arcana Heart 3.

Anyway, maybe some of the remixes aren't great, but most of the OST is pretty godlike.

Have you heard most of the old OST/AST's? They really are the best. I heard stuff like Esaka and Esaka Forever in XIII and it just sounds like a shell of it's former self by comparison to the 94, 96 and 99 versions and 97's esaka forever is way better. Also, with Shin Kyo's inclusion, they should have included Tears.

Just wasn't feeling it.

On a different note, I've gotten a lot better with Doom and really love him now. He's incredible amounts of fun to play. I'm obviously no pro with him, but, he really plays well on my team and is as strong on point as Trish and Dormammu which is a blessing since while my Tron wasn't bad in vanilla and saved me on a LOT of matches, she was never a true anchor, and neither was Frank. Doom really pulls off the versatility that i like really well.

According to people at boards.ie, every team has either Doom or Wesker, and the other two are a small amount of variation.

Doom, Wesker, Vergil, Dante. Basically anyone online you're bound to find with one of those 4 if not 2-3 of them on their team. 95% of teams have Wesker for sure.

I don't play Doom because he's high-tier like everyone else does. I play Doom because he's fun. I play him for the same reason I play Trish. He's versatile. He can play keep away, zoning, or rush down and be pretty good at all of them. And that's how I like to play. I like to be able to adapt when necessary. Zone and Keep Away when I need to, Rushdown and pressure when I need to. Dormammu isn't as versatile as Trish and Doom, but, he can still apply pretty heavy pressure and his keep away/zoning game is very strong.

All in all, the team has amazing synergy and compliment each other nicely. And Doom's Molecular Shield assist is so much better than missile assist for me because missiles cover air which means i would need to cover ground but i need the exact opposite. Shield covers ground while my trish is in the air or while dormammu is stocking spells in air etc. And it's a damn good assist at that. And Dormammu's purification assist works wonders as a backup as well.


Also, while not entirely practical in H&H mode itself due to all the overpowered cards out there that negate it. It's still fun to give Trish Green Goblin and that other one I forget which pretty much gives her triple jumps, extended flight time, and the ability to do like 5 moves in the air at once. Makes her ten times more annoying haha.

Skullgirls stuff!

Looks pretty fly.

I want to be more excited for SFxT than I am, hoping the gimmicks don't overshadow the actual game. Regardless, hyped as hell for P4 UiMA.
