A tale of souls and swords, eternally retold...

No it's fair enough, though I recall one of your CE's being cancelled because of a WR hit, which took the priority and slapped you with it, but the fights were close! I agree you probably had lag, though I think I'm learning some of your tricks now.

I had a bit of lag fighting Ivy that time, but it didn't trip me up too much. I lost, but that's a lack of practice against her I think.

I hope to see some of these vids myself eh? My video thread is almost dead, sadface.

 

[VILARCANE]

The videos are in your battlelog my friend...

Never mind, i won't argue with you today because i happen to have a very bad bay, but lag isn't fair, i am sad you don't admit it, and with 5 bars on our Ivy fight, lag is bearable (as i said), with one bar though, you just miss all your timing, inputs, combos of moves, CE, whatever...
ok, i did not know about the WR hit (not so experienced hey), fun then, holy Dampierre ;o)

Let us call it quits and stop fighting if you don't wanna admit it, fair enough !
I don't want to lose you over Namco's bad netcode, which every other player could tell you about (who says dreadnaught in a previous post on this very thread ;o)).
So let us stick to the creating and reviewing, and stop slapping each other in the face with a silky glove...

But silk gloves are so nice~

But nono, I wasn't arguing! Were YOU arguing? Huh? Wanna fight about it?

Heh, I did admit you probably had some lag, in my previous post see? Though it didn't really show on my end, and you still got a few combos off, so it's not a total loss? (Though I do think I've improved a bit as well.)

I finally got that Leixia BE combo I've been trying to practice offline, but it wasn't as effective as I'd hope. Helped my clinch the round though! Silly Nightmare.

But no, it's cool. We shall pretend all your losses were because of netcode~ I kid, I kid.

I just hope Lil Vil enjoys the fights. As long as someone else is entertained, then that's what I'm good at!

 

[VILARCANE]

but of course you improved, you pulled off some pretty nice combos, i just couldn't do what i wanted half of the time ;o) Surely doesn't show on your end, your gameplay is silky smooth and quick as hell (that is the beauty of lag boost).

No harm done, you are getting better, i admit i don't practice at all, apart with you...
i just hate when i can't be 100%, when i play a french friend, no ounce of lag, when i play Lil Vil local, there i pretend its lag when i lose (sometimes on purpose, sometimes not, so he knows the word and meaning yet not the technical stuff). Point is, he feels even better about winning that way.

So as i do not deny you improve and i like your skills, do not deny me honestly saying i struggle with lag, even if it implies i might have won some more rounds / fight in the process.
The end result is still pretty much the same everytime, more or less ex aequo.

But as i compensate lack of combo knowledge by timing and tactics, lag is even more counter-productive, and i feel even more at a disadvantage against you...i feel cheated (not by you of course).

Oh, and Lil Vil loves your Digbies, so he told me...

I still need to take a picture of a Mace Windu he did, not bad, not bad...

 

[WindupSkeleton]

Yeah. It sucks when you can't be your best. Here's to no lag next time eh? =D

I might make something Star Warsy for Lil Vil, but probably not. I need to strengthen my roster. I'm bored of a lot of them now...

 

[VILARCANE]

Ask me for a formula to pimp up your roster : pick one you like.

Sure he'd be pleased with some starwarsy stuff, he owns all lego star wars games on xbox...(well, i should say ALL LEGO games on xbox ;o)

I hear the Lego games are actually pretty good?

And thanks, but I think I'll sharpen my skills a little first eh?

 

[VILARCANE]

Those games are amazing, with georgous lego graphics and animation and an "educative" gameplay suited for both kids and grown-ups (Miss Vil plays with Lil Vil a lot).

It's the kind of games my theoretical child will presumably play - Fun with an emphasis on imagination, puzzle solving, and learning. Also Lego.

It's nice they can play together. More proof that gaming isn't a solitary, anti-social hobby!

I wanted to use the DLC items or standard parts i hadn't used yet, so i thought, why not go for a SciFi trip...
My idea was to try and do a female version of Grendizer (Goldorak in Europe)

That being said, i went the extra mile to create my own female version of Actarus, using sci fi Zwei style (a gimmick, but an elaborate one ;o).
For Grendizer/Goldora(k), i used mitsu style with a very special sword that looks as Sci Fi as it gets, and a color scheme that matches the original (male) giant robot :

Here you go :

Actarea (the pilot) :

Goldora :

A few bonus pics ready for those who'd like to leave a feedback ;o)

 

[VILARCANE]

oh well, nobody dropped by...so let me continue, just in case ;o)...

This one is my vision of a Dragon God.
I used the same technique as for Teeria for the tongue (with leather pattern to mimic asperities of the tongue).
2 remaining slots for typical dragon skin corolla and side "tusks".
I went for Cervy's sea outfit, which makes for a credible godlike dragon armor.
Max amount of stickers too, on the body...

I went for a very special style to achieve the following "oh my god" screenshots :

Grendizer! The first night we got SCV I went nuts making Mazinger ... I love all the Go Nagai type stuff...
this is old and incomplete (we have a Reideen and a Grendizer now) but here is a freakish glimpse of the things that inspire me daily...

Goldora and Dragon God.... ilu w/ mouf.

wow, what an insane collection, Chobek ! I remember my favourite toy being a huge 60 cm plastic Goldorak with all bells and whistles...greatest xmas present ever (as a kid ;o)

Oh, and if the images are not loading for me this morning either, it is because again the image upload site i use is down...
sorry for that, i'll upload them to the slideshow, this way i am sure everyone can have a look and that they will live forever ;o) Also, i will try to upload a few full quality pics to see how well it fares compares to PS3 screenshots.

Yeah we have a few of the big guys ... but they are pretty beat up... :)

 

[VILARCANE]

slideshow updated, and here is a test with 1 full size pictures :

Spoiler

This will probably allow me to upload better editor shots in the future.
I will use the new image upload site as well, since the old one is too unstable...

Looked at your blog, you guys are one hell of a collector !
Those things are creeping all over your furniture/PC lol...
Isn't that dangerous when they start fighting across the living room, and what do you feed them with ? ;o))

 

[chobek]

I stay out of their way, and....They feed on the fallen... :)
