Did they update or change the character selection amount online?

Good post dude! This is exactly what this generation gaming is all about. If MKA was made for 360 or PS3, they would have fixed most of the bugs by now if they really pushed for it.

I'm interest in knowing whether one can select more than one character for online play.

this is mk fool, not a sega forum :)

next week jay.

If you get it again man, use a joystick cos the pad sucks for it big time. Akira's moves are pain with the padfor example, such as, whilst in a crouch postion holding down, then bk, fwd and punch. With a Joystick it comes out every time.

Good point, MK8 should do this. Midway/Microsoft should push for it, if not then that's just dumb.

BTW, lol is the 360 controller good for any fighting game....guess not

Aight Luna, Imma get it again and try and LEARN to love it. You have it, right? I hope so then we can catch some games online. and is it universal?

Trax

Yea it's not sega, it's xbox live Don't you know I always come here soundin like a kid in a candy store when I find a game I really like? We're definitely on for next week tho FP, you know where to find me.

Trax, nah you can't switch characters between matches. But you know what? It actually doesn't bother me cuz I can play as Eileen all day and have fun doin it. FTR she's gotta be one of, if not the most non-linear characters I've ever played as in a fighting game! All of her strings cancel into any one of numerous finishers of which a few have their own options. It's pretty sick if you ask me!

(look at your keyboard num pad to reference directions from 1p side)
These strings:
pp - ppp - 6pp - 3p - 4pp - 1p - 6p+k - 6p+k,p - 6k+g

and a few more can ALL be canceled with:
236p - 214pp - 236kk~k - 214k - 8or2p+k+g - 236p+k - 214p+k

plus:
236p+k can be ended with p - k - 2k - 3k - p+g - 8or2p+k+g
214p+k can be ended with p - k - 2k - 8or2p+k+g

Those are filled with mixups, backadash, stalls, and a jump on your face for more mixups move... Talk about MIND GAMES!

Anywho, yes online it's universal Trax. I've played people from Japan with a surprisingly good connection! If a stick were cheap & readily available for 360 I'd think about getting it, but I'm actually having some great luck using the analog stick on the controller. Plus having the triggers and bumpers allows me to have all of the combinations at my fingertips too.

I'm almost postive i've still got you on my friends list (DarkTrax right?), so if you do pick it up again be sure to hit me up for some sessions!

I fucking hate algebra.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha
that was pimp dude!

LOL... I'm definitely with Chaos on this one. What the fuk are those? Damn!

===============================

Yeah dude, I'm still 'DarkTrax'. My HALO3 came in today but I'll be getting the other games locally over the weekend if the price is right. I'm not going to spend 69.99 on a game. NEVA!

Trax

Damn, talk about breaking shit down...lol there's math and then there's algebra and triginomatry...

p is punch
k is kick
g is guard

yo, we need to get some more Kage-Eileen matches. That last series we had was sick. I could tell your Eileen would kick a@$ one day. My wireless XBox 360 controller keeps disconnecting so I can't play until next month when I will get the wired one.

I've played people from USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, Englang, Germany, France, Netherlans, and Spain and had good connection with all of them. VF5 is the best fighting game out there right now. If only an MK game could look and play like that. AH, we can always dream.

Raiden, longest of times bro!

Are you still on MKD. Luna and I are coming back soon. I'm ordering an MKD disk this weekend and Luna is getting his NTSC box hooked up. Let me know what's up!

Trax

yo MrSchpfmut, i know u have no clue who i am but i just picked up vf5. hit me up if u wanna get some games in. same goes for anybody eles - peace

Sorry I was originally trying to avoid a mile long post, hopefully this helps make more sense. As Red stated = punch, = kick, = guard

Eileen's Strings, these are button comands for her basic attacks:

Raidenwins... More like Kagewins hehe! Those were awesome fights we'll definitely go at it again dude. Maybe next time let's get a longer session in if we can? Thanks for the comp, but I stood no chance vs you before. Hopefully a bit of practice will help, but to be honest i've been doing pretty poor vs Kages.... Sucks about the controller, do you have the charger pack thing?
DrJ, we're on son! I'll send a friend's request.
Trax, buy it used, I got mine from gamefly.

Let me know when you get on, Trax.

I'm not interested in MKA anymore, but I've been into Deception lately. Both games are relatively done, but Deception gives me some "nostalgic" entertainment.

Good shit bro. I can comprehend that better now.

I'll pick up my copy (VF5) over this weekend and I'll definitely look you up.


Definitely Chaos, me and Luna used to have mad fun on that shit, even as of last year. Our aim is to revive those good times again.

I'll keep you posted.

Trax

Funny, I usually do poorly versus Eileen. My other tough match-ups are Pai and Shun (the old drunken Kung-Fu guy). Looks like smaller and faster opponents give me a lot of trouble.

What I love about VF in general is how much depth there is to the fighting engine, it's almost like mastering a martial in real life. There are so many little nuances to it. Another cool part is how some of the most powerful and effective moves are hard to pull of, for example Kage's:

F, D, DF, P+K, P, K, K (his version of the Dragon Punch)

is ridiculously hard to pull off. The timing on the P and K after the P+K is absurd. I think it's called On Hit timing or something like that, I've only been able to pull it off one time in Practice mode so far. I don't even attempt that in matches.

I don't like those wireless controllers. I am going to get me and old skool wired one when I get paid in two weeks.

I'm surprised V1LL1AN hasn't commented in here yet, he plays some VF.

Well, I do Play Vf5 at least twice per month lol. I just don't like VF5. I prefer DOA4 because its way better then Virtua Fighter 5.

Yeah I agree with you there totally ^. We might be the only two in here that feel that way lol but hell, DOA is fun and the online play IMO is better overall

No doubt, one of Ei's hardest moves is 236kk~k where the last kick is an "on hit" button press. Thankfully the first two kicks hit if you were to miss the third, but the last one does soooo much damage. Other than that she's been quite easy to execute moves with, awesome for a newer player such as myself but you have to really get a hang of her variety or else you become predictable VERY quickly.

Definitely hit me up when ya got the new controller mayne!

Anywho I recently played in an online tourney on VFDC. Here's a match against Tricky, an amazing Eileen player. Check it out!
FTR, Noob should take a lesson from Eileen on how to fight like a monkey... seriously
