Capcom: it's 'Shadaloo,' folks

Didn't ET have a thing for Reese's Pieces? *shudder*

That hardly matters, given Z's preferences.

"like a virgin" confirmed

That would be the Japanese language... perhaps the name of the technique? It is called "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku"

Sound's like they say

"Todd's Amazing boo kick"

really fast in street fighter 2

Tatsu Maki Senpu Taraka

"a check check drooo kick"

OMG lol@rigs

And yes it is the origional japanese language said with a soft second k and all soft s's.

I still think that when Chun-Li does the upside-down helicopter kick thingee she says "MYYY FEEEET STINK!"

When I was like five, I always thought they'd shout "INFECTED MUCUS!" Now it's the only thing I hear.

She says Spinning Bird Kick in Engrish. How about Raidens psycho crusher rip off move, doesn't he say like Johnny Bought a Car?

Because its an anime game. I find it funny you voice your concerns over air jumping, but seem to have absolutely no problem with Ryu throwing fireballs.

Capcom has always been a failure to me, even though I love some of their franchises.

"FELL HOW WEAK YOU TRULY ARE" (Gouki, SFA2)
...still remains one of my favorite CAPCOM errors.

Mega Man Soccer says "Congartulations!" every time you win.

It must be. There was big news about game integration into HOME that I thought would be up by now here since it's been up most everywhere else since early last night.

shat-a-loo ;D

Hey, it's that or Raiden of MORTAL KOMBAT saying "Your Mother's from LA" when he does that "Flying Thunder God" attack.

Funny, I always thought it sounded like "Heeba-baba-LAY!!!!!"

Alpha 2 replaced it in continuity, then Alpha 3.

DOA... Storyline?

-raucous audience laughter-

Laugh all you want to man..DOA4 had a pretty damn good storyline in my opinion. What with Helena, the ninjas, and all the other characters. I liked how they all interacted. Plus there were cutscenes when you were doing the single player/arcade mode.

All I'm saying is that I want a story to go along with the fighting...is it so much to ask for?

So fuck off sony fanboy...

LOL So quick to jump to expletives... pretty shallow, but hey, whatever.

Anyway, DOA's storyline (or lack thereof) IS damnably lame, even for a fighting game series. Granted, it's not as lacking as VF, not as convoluted as KOF, or even as repeatedly-retconned as SF... but definitely as ridiculous as TEKKEN or even BLOODY ROAR(if you want to even bother considering it at all).

In the end, let's face it... gamers are paying $40+ for a barely covered-boobs fighting game(when a XXX hardcore throwdown DVD is equal or cheaper in price). Anyone could've slapped on a elementary-school inspired story to follow that... and what better generic material than "Ninja vs the World/Clan power vacuum"? And c'mon, man... what fighting game out there HASN'T milked the whole "cloning" or "bio-punk siphoning of fighters' abilities" to death? But hey, that's the joy of fighting games -- the fact that you're playing it for the gameplay and violent tactics than story. DOA's no different than the other games in this genre, but far from the best(compared gameplay-wise to the likes of VF; storyline-wise compared to SOUL CALIBUR).

While I can't stand even the sight of Tomonobu Itagaki, I applaud the fact that he continues to hustle people out of cash for this second-rate series. Even you have to admit that they(TECMO)knows this -- the commercial for DOA3 even joked about it being a male-appealing, shallow fighting game.... "She Kicks High" and all that craziness.

Umm where did I say that DOA's storyline was revolutionary or Academy Award winning material?

NO WHERE idiot.

I just said I liked it. Its a freaking fighting game. Not a Shakespeare drama....

That being said however DOA did a fine job IMO of creating a decent story that made the game flow easily and connected things very well.

Thats ALL I have to say on it.

You trying to shit on the game is just stupid and shows how arrogant sony fanboys are.

So once again you know what to do if you don't agree with me (which is your right).

Allow me to double the raucous laughter.

Hahaha.

Hey hey next up he convinces us Mario Kart has an epic and interesting story too, or Tetris! Hahaha.

Before I begin, let it be known that I haven't insulted you directly - so I'll "respectfully" ask you do the same. I keep re-reading my SN, previous posts, and even glimpsed twice at my icon... I can't figure out where you keep getting this "sony fanboy" remark from. I couldn't give a rat's patoot about the SONY company beyond the fact that MGS appeared on it(hence the SN). But it's been on Nintendo and Microsoft systems too... so if it's possible to be a fan of all three, then hey - *guilty as charged*. And speaking of multiple consoles - let's not forget that the DEAD OR ALIVE series did appear on consoles/arcades other than Microsoft's own. So the odd notion of hating on the series because of it's recent Xbox-popularity is moot.

Now...

If you re-read the(accidental double)post above, I never denoted the *opinion* you stated about liking the damn game. That's your perrogative. I'm not out to change anyone's mind about anything ... it's not worth either of our time to discuss that. Nor am I picking a fight or console bashing here.

But if bashing is to be done on this topic, it's as aforementioned -- fighting game plot/storylines.

I stated that most fighting games, DOA especially, have god-awful, laughable storylines. I didn't even cite you as saying "it was revolutionary/academy award winning" because you didn't say it! However, I agree on having a fighting games with cutscenes - it's a welcome addition! But let's face it, that extra work is for nothing if the story & plot are as deep as a shotglass. I even explained further by throwing in examples of not just DOA's faults, but two known and cliche'd examples of similar storylines across the fighting game genre. So it's NOT just DEAD OR ALIVE, it's everywhere. I personally love playing fighting games... the gameplay, tactics, and some of the character designs are the biggest appeal here. True 3D fighters(VF, DOA, TEKKEN, RIVAL SCHOOLS, et al) even moreso, since it expands the technical gameplay exponentially. :)

Mills and Boom ---
LOL! Actually if I recall, the pack-in Xbox console XBL game "Tetris Worlds" tried giving it a storyline. Wasn't good, but still - the idea of it is Uwe Boll'icious.

Fox, you're clearly dealing with a 13-17 year old kid with an inferiority complex. Don't bother.

Right. So if that word is pronounced in Japanese wouldn't it sound like "SHAH-dah-low" phonetically?

Say, what do you do when one of Bison's soldiers throws a grenade at you?

Give up?

You pick it up, pull the pin, and toss it back!




I'm going to sit in the corner now, as punishment for remembering that.

LOL, nice! +1
Here's one from IMDB...

Dee Jay: Oh, Yes. My mama didn't raise no fool, baby.

Dee Jay: Oh man, I should have stayed at Microsoft.
