I'm not 100% sure but for everyone playing on the Vita, I think turning off notification sound and ps button alerts will stop the game from crashing when you get a notification.

Edit: nope, still crashing :/

I don't compare it to SBB in terms of sheer characters because it's silly to compare a game made in 1999 to one made in 2012 in those terms. I DO compare it to SBB in that even for the first game with a limited number of characters, Falcon and Ness were still in the game, both of which were undoubtedly part of their most lesser known IPs.

Beta talk: Radec seems easy to use now because both beta stages favor him. It was a lot harder to win on Sandover village in the previous beta.


Ok, name a recent fighter, that has had a generally satisfying roster it's first time out?

1999-2012, it's still the same, rarely do I recall the FIRST installment of any fighter having a megaton roster.

The only people surprised by Ness were people outside of Japan, and the F-Zero name was somewhat known. So the only thing I'll note here is how they gave Capt. Falcon a personality, but someone can make the argument they did the very same thing with Fat P.

I had no idea who Toro was before this game, but I did recall seeing him in some Japanese Sony ads. Not many people outside Japan know who he is, and Spike and Sir Dan can pass as non popular characters too.

Either way, I'll just leave it at that, I'm kinda tired of these redundant arguments/discussions. In this thread everyone will is set on believing what they want, so whatever, to each, their own I suppose. :p

@jessej3117 I don't know when SuperBot is planning on revealing their next character. I know some are upset, but I don't make the rules...

Paul Gale ‏@PaulGaleNetwork
@ianvelez I really don't. I'll ask my friend when I can, but I've got no idea why at this point, no one was shown. Honestly a bit surprised.

Paul Gale ‏@PaulGaleNetwork
@CameronSaracino I honestly don't know...but agree with everyone in that I too am surprised.

Whaa? What's your Vita model and memory card capacity?

Edit:

Didn't Sony fire most of its PR the other day maybe that has something do with it.

Maybe. All of their 2012 games have had their street dates removed too, so something weird's going on.

OH SHIT, NEWEGG MIGHT GIVE ME PSASBR EARLY! They already did it for LBPV preorders.
Would be nice...

An early copy of this game for $50 sounds phenomenal to me :3

Is NewEgg getting the pre order bonus?

Yeah, apparently, some shit has been going down and they're trying to fix it by firing the cause of it. Was really weird at the lack of legitimate first-party panels at TGS, and it can apparently be attributed to the disconnect between Sony US/NA, EU, and Japan.

I should say that there ARE release dates, but retailers can now sell them as soon as they recieve their shipments. I don't think it's GameStop only since Newegg shipped out LBPV early.
 
Wait, I preorder at EB... will they give it early if I ask AND will I get the preorder bonuses (costumes + playing cards)?

I am so hyped for the playing cards :D

I would assume so yes.

Though the codes may not work until release. Depends on when Sony wants them to work, they could potentially have those up early.

Did I miss something? :eek:

Just beat the Elite Four in my current run of Heart Gold!

Playtime: 20:59

Team:
Obama - Lv. 55 (Ho-Oh)
Natsumi ♥ - Lv. 47 (Furret)
Shirahoshi - Lv. 43 (Corsola)
Aki - Lv. 42 (Magcargo)
"The Best" - Lv. 43 (Meganium)
The Boss - Lv. 46 (Stantler)

I based my run around Kacho Arino's from GameCenter CX (meaning no saving/restarting before gym battles because the ENTIRE game must count towards play time and most HMs must be on party members). So much fun! Can't wait to carry my Pokemon over to BW2! I've really grown close to my team.

For the time being, I'm going to run through the gym leaders and beat Red, hopefully meeting some new favorite Pokemon along the way.

Also, I've come to realize how outstanding Furret and Stantler are in-game.

Pokemon confirmed to have a presence in PSASBR. MEGATON.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Preordered this today on a whim after watching the demo reel at Gamestop, Hope it will be fun and get the Vita version as well.

The Boss had Sand-Attack, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis and Stomp and could outspeed and cripple almost everything. Natsumi RIPPED through Lance and had U-Turn, Strength, Sucker Punch, and Blizzard. It's definitely worth putting in the time to fish for Corsola in Olvine City before Cianwood too. Shirahoshi became a beast later with Surf, Ancient Power, Recover and Blizzard.

PS: For everyone wondering how I came across a Magcargo before the E4, I actually did EXACTLY what Arino did in his run and got the egg from Primo before the Violet City Gym.

Why are you updating this post with a picture of Ho-oh

Wrong thread.

Fakedit: okay you edited :p
 
Wait, cards are EU only? :(

Anyways,

1) 2 v 2 is so good, but I hope they clean up the end game, and end game screen-- hope they can put partners in one victory taunt (so we get a total of two), and that we get just 2 post-game scoreboards that neatly breaks down the scores, as opposed to using the FFA layout they have now.

2) If the announcer is going to call out supers, I hope he adds the name too, "Radec, Super 1"

I am very curious about the ranking and profiling in this game. I do hope it's not only deep, but more importantly, well engrained into the competitive experience-- I'd love it if we could have team rankings (so, if I play with my buddies, we get a Team Ranking). I think it'd be cool if, during the initial player intros, we get to see their PSN ID, rank, and a quick blurb like "W/L 1.2", or "123 Super 3's successfully performed".

I'm also adamant that this:

is still fantastic, and that SB should be taking a few cues here to touch up anything else they can (namely the stage/player names being in the font of the game it came from).
 
I'm putting an insane number of time in this beta, I always feel I can improve my strategy match after match, and so far it started to become hard to find clueless players.
Now many know what they do and use the same tactics, which add a lot to the experience.
