Zero's awesome. He died for our sins. Multiple times.

He stopped being cool when he stopped being broken.

He stopped?

After a normal jump, certainly.  But I thought a dash-jump would override that, since Speedster doesn't affect dashing speed.

Nope. All non-dashing movement is sped up. In fact, it's only slightly slower than dash speed.

Well, there's a brief startup time for when you dash from a standing position, as well as when the dash ends if you don't jump during the dash. So technically, in X4-6 engine, dash jumping is faster than dashing.

But X6 has a unique property in that dashing from a crouch has much less startup. I don't know if that could help in making it across. But yeah, why bother when you have Nova Strike or Hyper Dash?

So, Speedster increases jump distance after a momentum-killing move?

Getting technical here, it's really just Speedster itself, since increased air distance is packed into the part. The move just makes that all the more potent.

which applies to dash-jumps as much as it does ground dashing

Not really. Gaia's dash jumping is faster than dashing for some reason. It's still slower than default, though.

X8's Plasma Shot sucked, though. But in exchange, built in Shoryuken.

It has most of the abilities. The important ones, anyway. I don't hear anyone complaining that it doesn't have Item Tracer, or the map from X3, or god forbid X3's overlapping double charge. And some of its abilities are better than the alternatives. Who needs double air dash when you got Nova Strike?

...Why does it matter? The thumbnails don't take more or less time to load with the length of the video, and it's neat to have the videos immediately watchable without leaving the thread.

Cause overload can hinder performance. I think Vixy complained about her laptop not being able to handle all the embeds. And if I didn't have a flashblocker addon, my browser would slow to a crawl too.

And if you don't want to leave the Boob Tube thread, just open the link in another tab or window. You'd have to do that anyway if you wanted to comment or read the author's notes.

Spoiler tagged or not, that was abusing the YT tags. I'm going to convert those to url tags as soon as I finish here.

YT tags really should be used in moderation. It's in the rules. I want to see tag use cut down a bit. Like, don't post more than 2 videos in the same post. And use url tags for the bigger videos. These are just suggestions, not concrete rules. I'll trust you guys to moderate your usage. Don't break that trust.

This goes for the forum as a whole, not just this thread, by the way.

How fast can this be done to Vile? Faster than in

The Antonion thing also has me curious.

Also, I made a hilarious discovery about the game just now.  Using the T-Breaker, you can actually kill Vile while he's on his Ride Armor.  It's funny because the finishing blow launches Vile off of the armor, which is very amusing to watch.

Care to elaborate? This could help if I ever speedrun X8 again.

No because pausing and changing weapons cancels the attack completely. I don't think you can even change weapons with buttons before the attack is finished.

The yelling usually doesn't bother me either. If anything, it makes me laugh.

Posted on: September 29, 2009, 14:05:48Here are some of the tuneups the characters have received in Continuum Shift. Looks like Tager's getting a big buff, and Arakune is getting nerfed big time.

Other little things to mention:

• New portraits, voices, animations.
• The game's story happens in 2200. Which makes it a sequel in that sense. But it still feels more like a Champion Edition.
• Tsubaki is pretty damn fast, but her drive is slow. Her playstyle is a lot like Order Sol.
• Nu is dead. Replacing her is Λ-11 (Lambda), who I would guess is exactly the same as Nu, except is blonde and doesn't turn yandere around Ragna. She's already earned the nickname Ramu-chan
• You can store an extra burst after a round. And after bursting, there's no damage penalty.
• Guard Libra is replaced by Guard Primer. The new meter depletes if you're hit by specific moves. The size of the meter depends on the character: Tager has a big meter, Lambda has a small one.
• The way Astral Heats work is different.
• There may be one more new character.

Going by the bpm (boobs per minute), it'll be at least as "good", most likely "better." But then again, season one had Death by Exploding Titties in the very first episode, so that's going to be hard to top.

I'm seriously thinking what is happening in the minds of the creators of the Queen's Blade OVAs.

They're thinking "How far can we go without making this a full blown hentai?"

I've yet to see OVA 4, but I did see the first episode of season 2. So many tatas.

I don't think it would work the same way. I believe the Magma Blade trick requires cancelling it by pausing and un/reequipping it. I don't think you can do that with a default weapon. Unless the cooldown period for Shadow charge shot is smaller than I think it is.

This should stop all the crying everywhere about this not being DLC.

I'll take that compromise. Knowing Capcom, they would've charged $5 a character, so that would add up to basically buying a new game.

That bonus better be Poison.
