Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So i was tracking my 360 and i caught it on it's arrive in TX. I checked within an hour it was deemed repaired and on it's way back home. Thus proving that E74 cannot be fixed, i think i got someones referbed 360... but at least i got a warranty again.

So i guess this could be a month or so of me trying to get down Action script 2.0 or dare i be different and use 3.0? I hear its like C++ minus a tutor or instructor, pain in the balls, much like the E74.

Anyway this month will be a good month well spent on Flash basics. Anyone have a good tutorial for the CS4 Flash. I dropped 2 grand on the master Collection, since i'm going to be in the field i see at some point, I figure hey, gotta have the tools.

I've got to say i'm not shocked at all. Not even for a second, that 1 my Xbox died. or 2 it died a month after the warranty died. I'm sure a handful of you know that, E74 code is short for Micro$oft just raped you... figuratively, for their problem, their issue, you the consumer must pay them 100 bucks, for them to then be returned someone else's Xbox that was, "fixed."

Now i'm not shocked it's broken, but it happened the most bullshit way possible. I was talking to 6 or so of my friends, we were just chillin, i had an update. So i updated it, ( logs off of XBL to do so ) Then the Xbox reboots. Once it completes it was some Media Center Update or something that went live. My Xbox powers down, so i got a drink came back turned it on, i powered up with a solo red ring the the left quadrant. I stare at it.... Turn off and on. Same, removed all the gadgets, same outcome.

So it when from working, to just flat out fuck it i quit i'm not working.

bah... Lose 100bucks and be bored for a month. Whoo.

I've got lots of ideas for any parodies, as say a script. Due to being nub to the Cs4 Action Script 3.0 and to Flash in General there's not much i can do to get it all out there. I'm proof reading through most of the material now, i've got almost everything, from TV to Music Spoofs.

A lot of Political Satire, tons of parodies, to say, Team Ninja ( Who? ) and Midway.

Once i polish this stuff up, i'll find a way to host it and get credit for it behind someone whod like to animate.

SF IV has taken a storm so far to see the series brought back in 3D and a different approach to the art style. Sold out all Copies in Japan, i'm sure that's enough to make a benefit, given the time worked on this Capcom may have to make another Street Fighter. Even though the Director of Capcom Japan is sick of redrawing Ryu.

I have some pros and cons i'll make it easy as well.

Pros:
From SSF2THDR ( Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo High Def Remix ) Balrog's turn around punch was chagned from PPP or KKK to PP and KK. Which sucked for pulling off any Chain combos. in SF IV they've corrected that and now is a PPP or KKK move. That's a good move.

EX meter is a great attempt to shut down the Ken, Ryu, Akuma, players that only know Projectile attacks and will use them all hours of the day and swear to fuck their good.

Revenge Meter is a great theory. Now i'm big on action reaction, however with the Super meter so trivial you want to be attacked so that you can finish someone with a dramatic K.O. which case the Ultra Meter. A great idea either way, just needs to be polished a little.

C.Viper a great attachment to SF, she plays very smooth and one of those limited special move characters, that allows the player to learn how to chain, and trap an enemy into moves. I've enjoyed every second with her, from the animation to voice acting and game play. She alone could carry the series.

Sakura i've always liked Sakura, but her animation in most games were lazy, and her voice acting was recycled and horrid. However Capcom somehow mad her look like a chick, astonishingly cute, and her move list in outstanding. This she is the ideal polished character over the years of the alpha series. She's been done right finally.

Dan "RRASHA!" Dan has taken my likign every since Street Fighter Puzzle Fighter HD Remix. Those of you that dont know Dan is a parody to SNK Art of Fighting characters, most seen in Dan is Ryo. In Fact one of his ending quotes of battle from ST Alpha is, "I dont want to be the Art of Fighting! I wanna be the King Of Fighters!" ~ Dan Hbiki So of course Dan's animation is over the top, lots of use of the twinkle smile. His game play is real bad ass, his projectile is just as short, and capcom focused more on his hand to hand combat than Projectile ( thank god )

Gouken is suppose to be hard, get over it.

CONS!
Zangfeif... What The Fuck? he has non-animated grabs?! Seriously? Be honest Capcom you could even recycle is old animations to signal that he's going to grab? not at all? Fuck stupid. He went from a decent character to a button mash, "oh hey i win" character... i'm done.

Another con, Rufus.

Blanka, hands down my favorite character. However he tends to break some game play. His diagonal Ball that leaps toward either air born enemies or can avoid projectiles, or land on the enemies high hit box, and here's an easter egg, that same ball can get you close too your enemy to low kick or low punch ( Blanka's side slide. ) That ball at times will leave both opponents looking the other direction. As well as everyone and this his Horizontal ball, if a play his jumping over him, he blanka still manages to his a low hit box and will look opposing directions again. Also Blanka's avoid hop left and right isn't as effective :<

Dalshim and M.Boison Teleportation has been made too easy. it's cool to see people use it too their best of the abilities. To higher the bar of sophistication in online matches. However most do it on accident from what i've seen, corning them into a loss. Otherwise Bison is still fun, Dalshim is still a waste of a character.

Online Game play Con
NOTICE: KEN ISN'T THE ONLY PLAYABLE CHARACTER ONLINE

Seth. Where do i begin. I've looked to see if he was banned from Tournaments. I've seen nothing about it, or it must still be up in the air. now i'm all for a game to be hard, that's fine with me, but tideous is another story. Seth is more of a Silver Suffer on R.O.I.D.S. with a vacuum. From the moment i seen him he looked like a bad idea. From what i've read Seth is named after a producer from SF. So i assume the Producer wants to be known as a bad producer? Clearly Seth is the laziest toon of them all. His 17hit kick that i guess is suppose to be Chun-li's kicks with out animating him kicking. ( LAZY ) His Invulnerability when he turn the vacuum on, that for some reason stuns you for a moment, which is all he needs. He has the broken Zangfeif grab that has no animation is just happens. He Teleports like it's going out of style, Double Sonic Boom? the fuck? oh here's some technicality for you. Characters the are not charge characters can take him our with a little less bullshit.

Seth and Charge Characters!
Okay, this is total shit, the fact that you need to charge is 100% critical, you must do it to defend if not attack. Using Balrog and Blanka you get shafted from all the damn telepoting he does. Balrog and do a the turn around punch so he has something. Blanka can zap him, but he can parry electricity apparently and grab through it. It also seems that Seth has a all knowing AI, now i've beat Akuma XxZeruelxX is my XBL Gamer tag if you don't believe me. He was hard but Akuma was fun, Seth is twat. Since he teleports the charge prospective changes due to him. Where as Akuma Glides from one side to another giving you time, rather than sporadically appear and reappear3 4 5 6 times in the span of a few seconds. Making it almost impossible to pull off any sort of effective moves unique to those characters. Seth is beyond an update, once all the characters are unlocked, there is no reason to go back into the Arcade other than maybe one a achievement. So my opinion get those characters and pretend that Arcade Mode was never there.

When is King Of Fighters XII (12) Coming out?
(BTW This is Copy Pasted from Dev Art cause i'm lazy.)

So i finally got around to making a Newgrounds profile. It's been years of me watching videos of all kinds and has fueled my Flash funds. I recently purchased Adobe CS4, and have been watching and following tutorials. I only seen one video for CS4 and it was by Tom, very help on hoe to get start but i'm still looking for more.

I know i won't be a pro at it or anything any time soon. But i've got to start somewhere, I do draw at my leisure, so i know the basics and such. I love to draw Spawn Art, while easier said in theory, i can't get it to translate on the mouse ( MX518 Logitech )

I'll be scouting around for some more information on the how to.. I'd like to do some 3D in the Action Script 3.0 however from what i've read it isn't easy; or not as easy as the Devs said it was, so i figure if i have nothing to compare it too, i'll just start there.

Have any tips feel free to drop a line. Anything to guide me in the right direction would be awesome. At least until i can walk on my own. With my Xbox 360 dead, i have plenty of time to practice.
