Welcome!

So we are trying something a little different here. This month we will be playing X-men Children of the Atom and World Heroes. What we are trying here is using characters you are not comfortable/familiar with.

So here's how this is gonna work. This is not a competition. The idea is to put a fresh spin on games that we have played (and in many cases over-played).

1) Any members may participate. If you are interested in playing either or both of the games like this, then post up and tell us who you normally use for these games, or if you've never played them before, what character styles you generally use, example: characters with Ryu/ken type movesets, or grapplers like Zangief etc.

2) After you've posted, other members will give you suggestions of who to use. It could be a good character you never really use, or just someone wacky. If you get several suggestions, pick the ones you like as long as they are not your normal characters. Then try to beat the game with your "unfamiliar" characters. After playing come back and post to tell us how far you got (beat 2 guys, or 4, or got a 1cc etc.)

3) Some of the characters in these games are made to be low tier type fighters (like Dan). You can challenge someone to use one of these types of characters.

this post will be used to keep track of who is using which characters.



Let's go Bub.........

Well. It's been quite a while since I put any serious time in CotA, but bitd when I played a bunch it was always Iceman that got the nod from me. At this point, any of the characters would probably be a pretty good challenge due to rustyness, but I'm game!

Far as WH goes...challenge away! I'll start to really learn with whoever I get set up with since I don't really have any fave yet, and have been trying to find 'my guy' anyways.

As for my usual preference in NG fighters...I tend to go with Iori/Mai/King (depending on game) so those are typical styles that I'm normally used to.

sweet glad this is going. im gunna put cota back in the blast so i can play. ive only beat the game with cyclops and wolverine so i got alot to go. i think spiral and omega red are the 2 characters i dont really know any moves for. i guess my journey begins with them.

as for world heros ive betten it with every charcter but i think muscle power was my worst guy. and i also believe i always play on death match so im gunna play reg match mostly

Will do, sir! I'll be loading those up (Saturn & CMVS, respectively) this evening after I get off work and will start giving them a try. This will be fun :)

I'm in!

For COTA, I've pretty much stuck to Wolverine, with a little bit of Psylocke. I can't remember who I used in WH1, I loved Captain Kidd in WH2. I probably used Fuuma, since I like the Ryu/Ken characters.

so who am I now? :)

Playing WH right now...

MP is interesting. Gotta say, that damned spinning suplex thing he can do does some MEAN damage! I've always sucked at 360 motions though (Zangief....ugh :( ), so it's taking some getting used to!

nah buddy, not everyone will play the same characters, if it happens that the suggestions work out like that it's ok though.

you mentioned Omega red and spiral, give em a go. And how about a Sentinel Challenge ;)

as for me, i'll give the Silver Sam, and Raspy a shot :D

I tried sil-sammy. I like his multiple hit moves like his throwing star and his cutting rush, having a little difficulty with his slower speed though. Raspy I did enjoy quite a bit, I like grabbin em with dem big 'ol hands :D

Omega Red is very annoying.

Had some friends over yesterday and a couple of them were on CotA with me while the rest were playing Smoosh Bros on the gc...they're typical bouncing jump/button mashers and Omega Red's diagonal/upward tentacle grab was SERIOUSLY pissing them off.

Hahahahahahahahaha

ok took a stab at sentinel and wow he is hard to play with. no speed at all and his super is kinda bad unless it hits then its crazy good but it never hits :( . well it took me about 10 credits to get to magneto before he spanked me about 6 times in a row b4 i walked away from my big blue. gotta figure out a game plan for magneto......is it me or does the computer block EVERYTHING??

ive been playn soul edge and guilty gear x 1.5 so gotta find time for this months 2 games

COTA is a very hard game. It ramps up difficulty in almost Neo fashion. I've never beaten juggernaut, I've tried about 50 times. I've never even seen magneto in this game.

I'm in. For COTA the two characters I use most are Wolverine and Cyclops. I've never used a grappler so I might give Colossus a go. I don't have a copy of WH so I may have to go the emulation route with those. When I did play it I stuck to Hanzou. I'll report back with my judgement of Colossus.
