Still playing through this awesome game. Got very far into it but now my head hurts so much from constantly playing it.
Got the BrkTimeBomb, as planned. Beat quite a few of the EX bosses, even setting records on OphuicaEX and TaurusFireEX. Not bad for someone who hasn't played the game in a year, huh? :P
Now I'm working on creating my Best Combo. I'll go back to CancerBubble and fight him to test it out since he's one of the only static bosses in the game. Did most of the main story, now I'm just kicking back and doing whatever, trying to find more HPMemory10s and 20s, building up my array of defense cards for my extra folder, and getting the best attack cards I can.
I should have this game done by evening tomorrow, possibly. :D I must say I'm beginning to like this almost more than Battle Network. ;)
For the past few days I've been heavily into playing Mega Man Star Force: Pegasus. I got it to complement my copy of Dragon, and in anticipation of Mega Man Star Force 2/Ryuusei no Rockman 2. I had also been playing Ryuusei no Rockman 2: Berserk x Shinobi, but it was my friend's copy and I gave it back.
This game is a lot of fun, especially when it comes to battling. I used to not like Star Force until seeing some cool videos of it (I played through Dragon sometime last year, but reluctantly, and didn't end up beating the game, only getting about 85% of the way through), then I picked up Dragon again last week after not playing it for almost a year and now I'm hooked!
My battle strategy is thus: hit fast, and hit with huge amounts of damage using a bare minimum of cards. Just like in Battle Network with the Battle Chips, this is still my main strategy. Also, countering comes into play in my strategy. I take the time to figure out how and when to counter an enemy's attack in every single area. Yes, I'm weird, I know.
For this point in the game (I'm at the part where....well.... how can I say this without spoiling it? I'll just say I'm at Nacy's and leave it at that), I have cards in my deck like CancerBubble and JumboHammer that hit moderately hard and cover all three rows. Right now I'm saving up for a TimeBomb, 'cause I got the Z Finder and equipped it and are now getting a lot of money. The TimeBomb itself is 50,000 Zenny, and I have about 45,000 now.
All I really need to do right now is get past this part, and get the OphiucaEX and HarpNoteEX cards, and then get the remaining money to pay for the TimeBomb.
Oh, and once I figure out if I can get Wifi here at this dorm (it's been a year and I still don't know yet!) I'm definitely gonna need some Brothers for this awesome game, and for Star Force 2 when it comes out on June 24th.
If you love their beat-em-ups, what better than to join a group based on them? :D Battle Circuit, Captain Commando, Final Fight, they made it, you can talk about it.
For those who don't know what it is, it was a Game Boy Advance game released by Capcom in 2001.
At its core, it's a monster-collecting RPG with a twist. Instead of actual monsters, you take little robots shaped like animals into battle with wild robots. Your original choices from the beginning are either a chicken, a sparrow, or a fox, all of which can evolve and gain new moves. Basically Granbo is Capcom's version of Pokemon, but with a few key differences:
-The battles are in an isometric (3/4) viewpoint, akin to that of Breath of Fires 1-4.
-Instead of just one robot battling another, you can each have three robots in your party fighting at one given time.
-Instead of the normal way of evolving monsters (i.e., by level) you evolve these little guys by installing other robots into them. You can do this at almost any level, but it affects what moves your Granbo actually learns.
-You catch them the same way, by weakening them and snapping the trap, basically, but it's a heck of a lot harder to catch a Granbo than a Pokemon. For the Pokemon players, think Mewtwo-like catch rates for every single Granbo and you'll get the idea of just how hard it is.
What else can I talk about here? Oh yeah, the story. It's your typical "boy-saves-the-world" story here, just like in most other RPGs. An evil crew called Skyshock kidnaps the main character, Kakeru's, friend Shizuku, and Kakeru must save her from them. See, I told you. :P
The gameplay is very straightforward as well, but some parts, like the installation feature, may prove difficult at first to non-Japanese speakers. The battles themselves are all laid out just like any other RPG. The battle menu is as thus:
-Kougeki (Attack)
-Waza (Special)
-Item
-Henshin (Transformation)
-Bougyou (Defense)
-Nigeru (Run Away/Escape)
Pretty easy, huh?
For more information about the game (since I'm too lazy to type any more right now) here's a link to a review I did on the game:
Well, it's me, A Robot Appears. Some of you may recognize me from the Mega Man, Street Fighter, Capcom Games, and Ask Capcom sections. I had to pick a new name because 1. spaces aren't allowed in your usernames now and 2. underscores also aren't allowed if it's within the first few letters. And I don't know about you, but I'd get mighty annoyed over time if I had ARobotAppears with no spaces in it as my username. I like my usernames to have spaces, thank you very much. :P
Uh....where should I start? I'm currently 19 years old and in college (graduating in August) and I've been a Capcom fan since 2 years old. My first Capcom game was Street Fighter, the one with the six buttons in place of the two hydraulic pads. First played it at a laundromat when I was about 3 or so. My mom and dad would have to hold me up for me to play it 'cause I was so small.
Then when SF2 came out I "graduated" to having my mom bring a couple milk crates for me to stand on (I was about 4 at this time). Of course I was no good at the game at that age. Around that same time, I had been playing games like Mega Man 2 and Strider constantly (along with arcade games like Final Fight and SonSon). Strider was one of the very first games I actually beat.
Outside of gaming, I draw more than most other people could ever imagine. Well, sometimes. Other times I waste time on the computer (most of it is a side effect of me going into graphic design as a career), or watch TV. Or play games. Mostly Capcom games. :P
I post on other forums too, but usually under different names. On SNK-Capcom.com I'm known as Arigato Roboto, which is the name I got my Capcom BBS name "A Robot Appears" from. I'm a lot more brash/boastful on there (to fit better with the tone I guess) but I'm usually more laid-back than anything, especially around these parts. :)
But anyway, before I spiral off into some irrelevant diatribe, I'm a collector, fan, and follower of most Capcom titles. Right now I have about 150 of their games, give or take a few (this is from years of searching, collecting, trading, and everything else a collector does to get what he wants). A lot of them are doubles or re-releases. I had more Capcom games a few years back but got rid of them due to lack of space and money. But I'm slowly building my small collection back up over time. Just the other day I picked up Mega Man Star Force Pegasus to complement my copy of Dragon, and I'm planning on getting Leo sometime soon.
I also have a couple artbooks of theirs (the Breath of Fire Official Artbook and Eternal Challenge) but those are kept under lock and key due to my friends' and relatives' tendencies of screwing anything printed I own up enough to where it crumbles into dust. I collect most of the Udon comics, and have some of their translated SF manga, and I even have the few Capcom comics that Dreamwave made.
Overall, they're my favorite game company out of all of them. They've made nearly all my favorite games (along with Square and Sega-- but those two companies are for later blog entries), and they continue to deliver. With SF4, a possible Mega Man 9, two new Bionic Commando games, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom coming out, they're really kicking some......*ahem*......rear.
But yeah, this is basically a glimpse into what I'm like. Expect frequent updates of this here blog. :D
