[quote="Isifer";p="223944"]I play! I try to give my boyfriend some ass´kicking in SC2.
Unfortunally.. he is better than me, but that will probably change some day.[/quote]

Few notes Isifer on SC2 for easy and good moves:

Nightmare:
A, A, B (HOLD), FORWARD B (OR K, OR A)
DOWNFORWARD B (HOLD), A, A
important: FORWARD FORWARD B (or run then hit B)

Kilik:
sidestep then A,A,A or A, B or B

Talim:
A,A,B,B,
B,B, FORWARD K,K,K,K
B,B,SIDESTEP, K (or A, or B, or K or throw)

there..now go kick his butt

F4 you forgot two of Talim's best moves.

B+K, Up or Down, K
Nice sidestep followed by her back flip kick

Down to Forward, B+G,A+B,Left,Right, A+G
Her all mighty chain grab. Trick to it is to do it in one motion (Trust me the whole waiting for the first hit to connect habit is hard to break, especially when you mainly play King in Tekken. Or even Kilik's chain grab.)
Why not hop over to the FFRPG project.

I'm going for easy. I tried to do the chain grabs when I first started playing....didn't happen until I played more. And speaking of King..I loved to do his rollaround grab combo

I'm a girl. I am a gamer. :D Sort of. Not really... I like to play games though.

I LOVE Halo. I don't own it though. My cousin Bryan owns it and the X-Box is in his room, about an hour and fifteen minutes drive away. He's in Chicago with the Navy and stuff (and I'm in California), so his parents took the VCR away from his room. And for some reason, without the VCR, the X-box and Nintendo is not accessable.

I own games, but I don't play them. Why? The ones I have, they're just plain boring... Plus, the controller for the N64 is busted.

Oh, I have an N64 and a PSone. Both of which I did not buy. *sweatdrop* So I am cheap. The PSone is from my other cousin Stephen (who is a gamer. he has a PS2, Nintendo, the old Nintendo and i dunno what else. he used to have the PSone, which is mines now, he used to have a sega dreamcast that he gave to his half brother). I don't play it either 'cuz the games he gave me are sucky. *glares*

If money wasn't a problem, then I would've bought a whole bunch of games already. I'm 13 yrs. old by the way. I also don't get an allowance and the only time I get money is Chinese/Vietnamese New year, when we visit family members that we don't see often, and my b-day and Christmas.

I don't mean this to sound rude, but anyone under the age of 16 does not count as a person for the purposes of this discussion.

Holy crap. I just realized that people born in late 1990 are turning 13. God, I feel old.

On Monday a girl asked me what an Atari was. She honestly didn't know. THAT made me feel old, and she is only a couple years younger than me.

What a horrible childhood she must have had.

I thought knowledge of what an Atari is should be common whether you have layed one or not.

When I went to Radio Shack to pick up a power adapter for my SNES, they tried to sell me a little thingy that was an Atari joystick that plugs directly into a television and plays like a dozen old games (nothing trademarked or overly marketed, but I got the high score in missile command).

I take no offense, but you should've put that somewhere because I didn't know.

But I would like it very much if you worded this statement more... differently.

I'm 17 and I'm a rabid gamer. ^_^;

We owned an Intellivision when my silly mind was just developing, so that's probably what got me hooked on video games...

Today I have an SNES, N64, PS1, Saturn, GameCube, and Dreamcast, and will very soon have a PS2. All purchased in that order. (oh, also have a GBA and GBC)

I even have a pretty good 3D accelerator in my PC ^^;
