I used to be a fan of Wolverine comics (I own #1,50, 75 etc) and also I liked using him in X-Men COTA, but after that it just went haywire. Whenever I'm down at a local arcade all the weiners are using characters like Wolvie, Akuma, Ken, etc. Using Wolvie and bashing the buttons senseless during a berserker barrage and whatever. Annoyed the friggin' shit out of me.

I step up, use a character like Zangief, Hulk, Juggernaut etc and I get a few giggles until the fight is on.

But I do agree with Iceman being scrub material. Damn.

Yes, I totally agree with you DJ, That was probably one of the worst TV for games I have ever seen, and it was on SCART.. The image looked like absolute shit.

Here are the functions of the Philips TV in question
1. Accepts RGB input
2. Has motion compensation circuity (Digital Natural Motion)
3. Has line doubling to create 1250 lines
4. Use 10Bit colour digitising for 100hz/1220hz display

Now, the TV you have supports None of these features, yet you claim that the TV above has an image that looks like shit.
Keep dreaming.

Bad interlaced gaming image, bad VGA geometry, and the progressive doesnt look half as good as the 80cm , Must be a fault in the smaller tube.

You're rambling on like an idiot here.
Let me see, your 80cm TV has superior image quality to the same model in 68cm?
I've inspected the 80cm unit and is has poor geometry, very low dot pitch for clairty, an extremely poor VGA image when viewed closely (try hooking a PC up to it) and its ability to display NTSC video images is incredibly poor.
Mind you, the 68cm has similar problems, but it has better dot pitch and a far better VGA image as a result.

The only reason he would win is if I played a match to experiment with combos and try new moves and he sat there charging his characters like a scrub turtle.

Heidern isn't anywhere near a scrub character because he doesn't have an effective anti air counter, can't launch himself across the screen in a split second and to win with he takes some skill.
He is also a cool looking character, as the reason for his inclusion in my team.

If I were in that position I'd gain more out of working around his strategies rather than giving out reasons why I'm better than him even though I've lost to him.

You do seem to be missing the point. Sonic is a scrub because of the way he plays. Whether he wins or not is irrelevant.

When it comes down to it in the end, you can call Sonic every name under the sun to get across the point that you think he's an el cheapo scub, but if he keeps beating you, perhaps you need to...scrub..up on your own skills rather than berating Sonic's.

You don't read the posts do you. My point is that he is a scrub. End of story. I don't play them so how could he beat me.

Yes it would appear that I am missing something here. You don't play scrubs, yet somehow you know Sonic is a scrub because he uses cheap characters in games that you've never actually had, and if you did have them he wouldn't win unless you were experimenting and putting no effort into it.

OK then!.............errrrrrrrrrrrrr

Your TV does all that and it still looks like its displaying RF Video quality for games? .. well just wrong ...

Hey, why don't we re-name this thread "Mod-wars"?

Ahem...

Sent off my Xbox last friday, still haven't had an email saying they recieved the boX. I think I'm starting to get a little worried...

edit: Crippler (from page 7), that's the problem in DOA3 that I (and TE) are having.
