The Twangout: Like Robin Hood, Only Somehow More Gay. And Merry.

My highest score came from the super projectile team of Cable, Iron Man, and War Machine.

I suck with Rogue. I too played some MvC2 the other day on my Dreamcast. It brought back fond memories, even if it was a bit annoying, that FP and MP were shared by the same buttons...

Oh God, Cable is a total nightmare. XD For some reason I always found him so tricky to deal with...

Yeah, that really frustrated me too. It's maybe better than using the Dreamcast's triggers, which are hardly ideal for a 2-D fighter, but it really makes the game feel a lot more restrictive...

I always dealt with Cable by playing his own game of projectile tossing.

*Glomps more people*

I was actually some good at the second one.

[Mikey]

You really should stop glomping people. Might give them teh herpes.

His slowness was what made him my favorite character to beat up on. Blackheart, along with Hulk and Juggernaut. You just, can't ever miss them.

I just loved his voice and appearance. So cool and scary~ It took me a while to get used to him, but he's pretty effective once you are. He's not a 'knock you flat in ten seconds' character, but he's really good at chipping away at health, and really well suited to defensive play. And he has incredible throw priority. Maybe I learned to block from playing Blackheart so much, actually.

Hulk is...bleh... I never know how to play him. ; He's like Zangief minus the throws. Plus I never really liked the character anyway. And Juggernaut is just...slooooow. And totally one dimensional. I don't like him so much either.

And yeah, Juggernaut's strategy seems to be 'charge madly forward and hope against hope that you kill them before they kill you'. Not particularly threatening. XD

[Chibi-Suke]

It would if I had teh herpies.

If you don't find Gina Carano attractive then you are going to burn in hell. Well, either that or I will lock you in my basement and torture you.

I don't know. I usually get beaten in projectile wars... But I don't know what it was that made Cable especially difficult. I just remember him standing out in my mind as especially annoying...

[Elin]

Anyway, do you want a quick game before I go to bed, Mikey? Or are you busy?

[Chibi-Suke]

Cable was easy if you could get close enough.

He did seem a bit scary when I first saw him in MSH. I never noticed his throws, though. Only tons of people used his abilities to slowly chip away at health.

Ew, Zangief. I can tolerate Hulk and Juggy, but not Zangief. I always end up backing away from him whenever I fight him in any game. Probably because a skilled Zangief user can domolish me.

My favorite big red target. I always found it amusing to have Juggs up in the air being juggled by characters who, in the Marvel world, would never even be able to touch him.

Is it his ability to easily chain in his 3-hit pistol shits with his (I forgot the name...) beam attack, then chain it right after that with his super Viper Beam?

Anyway, do you want a quick game before I go to bed, Mikey? Or are you busy?

I'd love to. I'm a bit bored, but I'm downloading some things with utorrent, and I'm afraid it'd affect the pings.

I think it might have been, yes. ; Hearing about that beam brought back a lot of bad memories...

Then again, I was never especially good at the game anyway. I had never played a human opponent, and the computer can only teach you so much.

Oh, well we can give it a try if you'd like. It might be pretty dodgy, though~ Your choice.

[Mikey]

Alright, I'll meet you there.

[Tanthias]

I require more vespene gas.

...

By which I mean opponents on GGPO. Tanthias left. Anyone want a game?

I couldn't help it... I had college
