If you challenge an expert over a few goes, he will kick ur ass

I remember the last time a game was this big and accused of being a button masher was Tekken 3. Egm did a "study" of sorts. They pulled like a dozen people in off the street who had never played video games before and had they take eddy or paul (two of the biger tekken masher characters) and had them go up against the best tekken players in the office. They played ten rounds each and were told to just pound on the controls and not a one of them was able to win more than 2 of 10 matches.

Well I can tell you that I've challenged many button mashers @ Kof, and they have basically NO chance of beating an expert (like me).

The other day me and my friend teamed up and we got 38 wins in a row (against other experts of course).

And i'm not making that up

I bought the game and it completely met my expectations. The fighting is deep as usual with many things to learn from each character. Sometimes the battles get heated up alot and kinda looks like a coreaography (sp?) from a movie. There's so many reversals and stuff. I've always like this 3d fighter best.

PD: Why the heck did Namco give that Berseker freak seven costumes but left Ivy only with two. And that's not to say that her second costume is lousy as hell.

You might be able to unlock more. Dylflon bought more costumes for other characters like Nightmare and Taki.. I'm sure there's more for Ivy.

Ohh, well! Thanks, I hope they included more for her. Now, unto the next rant. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY MAKE CGI CINEMAS FOR THE ENDINGS? And don't anybody tell me "look at DOA3 and see if they're any good" because SC has what DOA doesn't, and that's a great story line. The game is great, but they didn't improve things that were obvious.

Yea Nemesis. I just bought Ivy's 3rd costume. It's okay. It's certainly better than the one that makes her look like a man. Asteroth's 3rd outfit is so damn cool.

Ahhh, not only did you agreed with me but you also used the same expression I did (Makes her look like a man). Proves that Namco just didn't know what the heck they were doing when they made that costume. Now, I supose I'll stop my ranting before I turn this into a thread about buttocks and how good/realistic the polygons look (And they do look good. Err... I mean... crack's effect is wearing off, time for another dose.)
