Time for an update everyone -GET HYPED EDITION-

Get those stick ready 
After the crushing realization that I was not able to enter Maxout last month I have been quite busy working on many different things and projects. The biggest two would obviously be work and school as much as they suck up my time and will to live they are necessary for now. Of course no one wants to hear about those mundane things that we all go through of course. I have no finally finished not only Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3 in the HD Collection. I am going to spend the extra time and beat Vergil's campaign before I post the final version of my review. Also once I am done with that I will start going even more into hardcore training and practice for my fighting games. Lastly, I signed up for EVO 2012 and even bought my special EVO jersey that will be a custom made shirt with my name and number of my choice on it. I entered Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Street Fighter X Tekken, Soul Calibur 5, and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 so I will be very busy practicing for all of them. I will keep you all updated on how things go and just as a forewarning I will be very busy since I graduate in two week as well as work almost every day.

JACKPOT!

The Road To Maxout Part 4 (Sadly the end as well)

Well sorry to sad I don't have much good
Well I have been to sick recently to post much sadly so sorry about the dead air everybody. There have been many changes to me going to Maxout this Saturday unfortunately. My schedule this Saturday went from going to Maxout and that was suppose to be my day until I got hit with the scheduling hurricane. I ended up finding out I have to do driving school from 8 A.M.-12 P.M., work  a double shift at work as a busser (which is the longest I have ever worked at my job and I haven't even been a busser or any training before. Not only that I am also missing a double date opportunity with my girlfriend and her friends, as well as a birthday party for a friend of mine. So to say the least it really sucks having to make all the practice I put into Blazblue CS:EX and Street Fighter X Tekken.

The Road To Maxout Part 3

....Uh yea this is my main for Blazblue Jin
Well I finally sat down over the weekend and had to get use to blazblue again. I had been playing all the way through November of 2011, but stopped after I ended up getting super serious job hunting. So I remember how to play my main Jin really well, but I wanted to I wanted to go over the basic and advanced of the game. I decided to devote myself to going through all of the tutorials until I got the trophy for it. Even though This took me an hour or more to get all the way through I ended up learning how to control and handle counters a lot better. Along with some guard practice and learning some new combos.

The Road To Maxout Part 2

Good luck finding one of these unopened

What else could it possibly be...
Well it looks like I will be able to at least enter two tournaments at Maxout out and that is Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend. I was not going to enter before because of not being able to find a copy of the game until now. Thankfully the KC Shoryuken group I play with was able to help me out and after a long night of work I was able to stop by and pick up the last copy they had of the game. Not only that, but it was also the limited edition so I got all the extra goodies such as the art book, soundtrack, and calender for $59.99. I have yet to spend time with it besides installing the game since I wanted to play my other new game today.

I ended up getting my copy of Devil May Cry HD Collection the very same day. I ended up playing through the first mission of DMC1 and that was it. So far I love all the extras they added including all the music and unreleased art that you can look at in glorious HD. I only wish you could zoom in and out, but that is only a minor complaint. I will be playing DMC HD on and off whenever I am not training for maxout out. Expect more coverage after the 21st.
Time to start training again...

The Road To Maxout Part 1

Flyer Design by Leah Johnson

I will be preparing for Maxout an upcoming tournament put up by KC SRK members. At the moment I am looking for a partner in Street Fighter X Tekken and if I can find one soon I will probably enter into it. Mainly I will be preparing for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I will need to spend a lot of time practicing it so I can get back to how I use to play and even better. I'll be back next time after I get some time in and see if I can get someone to partner up with and see how my UMVC3 team still holds up (Frank West, Dante, Vergil ).

Metal Gear...In HD? Part 2


Time to go back to the U.S.S.R.
 Metal Gear Solid 3 is a very special game to me for many reasons, mainly because it was the 1st Metal Gear game I owned and beat. Since I was a bit to young to play more than just a demo of MGS 1 and 2 as a kid, I was SUPER excited when I got Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence and decided to wrap my entire life around it for about the next year. This was because I have not played many games like MGS3 before content wise as well as such a memorable experience. MGS3 gets so many things right I couldn't help but, think an HD remastering would be the perfect addition to one of my favorite games of all times.
