I don't know much about the game mechanics, but I'm hyped up for it. The character choices are great (they plan on putting in 36 playable characters plus a bevy of assists). The spritework is beautiful and fluid, the backgrounds are breathtaking and excellent tributes to their games. And the character movesets are excellent and fit them well in terms of personality, and heavy use of abilities from their core series/games. My jaw dropped when I saw Chrono's 6 character beat down super at 1:22 in the first vid

orz Vyers, you're making me cry.

[Mindgam3]

Megaman X is a playable character. This will be my main game.

I'm excited about playing Chrono, Samus, Nina 2,and Etna. . . And The Geno, Phoenix Wright, Pocky and Rocky, and Dr. Robotnik assists. SO many awesome characters in game

Card Saga Wars. It's a game in development being built using the MUGEN engine, but without ripping any graphics from other games. All the character sprites, backgrounds, projectile animations, gauges, etc are originally crafted by 2 dudes from Spain.

The people working on it are very secretive. They havn't updated their website in three years, and the last vid they uploaded is the Leneth VS Walkure video uploaded a year and a half ago. I really really hope they finish it because I'll be a very sad Vyers if they don't.

They have a list of all the characters they plan on including as either fully playable or assists here:

Ride to casuals, anyone?

[WhyTheHellnaut]

Change of plans, no casuals on Sat.

Change of plans, no casuals on Sat.

Well, drat. I was just typing up a post saying I'd be there playing Tekken, too. Oh well, there's always next time.

Also, if anyone hasn't noticed yet, E's Laf has its own thread now and it seems a bunch of people are trying it out. Tales and I have played it previously, and it's pretty fun.

Bummer :<

[Fraga]

Dr. Robotnik summoned me when someone said something about him being in a fighting game. What is this I hear about my eternal favorite character?

[agp24]

Wait. Did you say Etna? Like, from Disgaea? o_o I must have missed that. IF FLONNE IS IN THAT GAME, I CAN'T NOT MAIN IT. I WANNA BE A NINJA.

[Mystic Eyes]

That game is never going to see the light of day. Vyers is a horrible person for showing you all it, because there's not been a single peep from any of the developers for years, not even a youtube comment. It's a pipedream at this point.

[The Katz]

Anyone going to ECT?

[JacopeX]

I am.

Anyone need room?

Dr. Robotnik summoned me when someone said something about him being in a fighting game. What is this I hear about my eternal favorite character?

He's an assist; Robotnik fires an Emerald-powered laser. check out the the screenshot on this page:

Etna's a full playable character. I don't know if Flonne is in the game; you can try looking her up on the character card page here:

Technically speaking their last video went up 1 1/2 years ago, Although your point of it being a long time since their last update stands. Yeah, it will suck horribly if they never finish it, but I'd rather know about the possibility that this game will be released, than have never heard of it or seen it. If any of you folks feel you'd rather not have heard of it since its in development hell, than I guess, feel free to despise me for it.

@ Fraga: on a different topic, Max is cool with you staying over his place for Anime Boston. I'll send you his address in the near future.

@ Katz: Sorry I'm not going to be in the area Anime Boston weekend. When I first brought it up, I got the dates mixed up and thought it was going to be held during March, when I'd still be in school, and picking you up would be on my way. Maybe there's someone who would be passing near your place on their way in to Boston that you could hitch a ride from? Also I still got your giant drink bottle.

@ Fraga: on a different topic, Max is cool with you staying over his place for Anime Boston. I'll send you his address in the near future.

Absolutely awesome, thanks for the help Why and Vyers

[The Katz]

orz Yeah, I noticed a couple of days later that it was missing. /brilliant

Eh, it's fine. Probably better if I didn't go.

Edit: So this is beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0IXc0XBWM

[Vyers]

Fraga I pm'd you Max's address and our phone numbers. Could you text us yours?

@ Everyone going to Anime Boston: do you like Indian Food? There is an all you can eat Indian Lunch buffet a few blocks away from the prudential building. Max and I are planning to hit it up that weekend. It's small, but rarely crowded, and the quality is very very good. Join Us??

On a different topic, I'm moved back into NH. I'm not sure when I'll next make it to casuals, but I'll keep you all posted.

[agp24]

Anybody going to Max's party willing to pick me up?

[Fraga]

Fraga I pm'd you Max's address and our phone numbers. Could you text us yours?

For some reason I didnt get a PM, mind re-sending it?

[Vyers]

If I hadn't already moved back:sad:

[The Katz]

Anybody going to Max's party willing to pick me up?

On second thought, I wouldn't mind going now. Same question for me.

If I hadn't already moved back:sad:

Obviously the solution was to take both Tales and myself back home with you, and then tell your family that you won us at a tournament.

E: You could say "Can I keep'em? Can I? Can I? Pleeeaaassseee!" while we attempted to give our best puppy-eyed looks.

E2: Now I really want the chance to do this, regardless of who I'd be.

[Dreiko]

My flight's tomorrow, can't wait to see everyone again. :D

[Archer]

I was glad to see Paul as solid as ever at ECT. And Jeremy... You, sir, having been putting in work on P4A -- presuming some other Mindgame didn't infiltrate the tournament. Good stuff, guys.
