May our blessings sever the tongues of the forsaken

Not much has really happened so far. Still can't decide on my main in AH3, cleaned my desk, applied for a tax file number (which means, shock horror, Pete will actually apply for a job soon) and started learning some of the stock phrases from All Will Be One (only in text at the moment, I can't get the accent right..), particularly 'We are perfection made flesh', which will be written down the left hand side of the custom gamemat I'm working on making at the moment. Note that my drawing capabilities leave something to be desired, so the gamemat will be terribly ugly, but whatever.

Also started digitally working on modifying card faces, so that I can make that Elesh Norn deck with cards printed entirely in Phyrexian. And, best of all, as long as the art is sufficiently recognizable, they'll be tournament legal! I'll be able to win FNM for the glory of the Father of Machines! 

But yeah, for the moment, nothing really going on. Word on the street is Pot Black has AE, so I'll have to test that out, and will post on it once I find out.

More on Pete's AH3 Experience

So, yeah, I've tried out pretty much the whole cast now, though I'll admit I haven't tried every arcana yet (particularly Mirror, I haven't even considered it yet because I'm not nearly librarian enough yet), and, although I'm still liking Lilica, Kira and Lieselotte are really sticking with me (as they did in AH2, so, yeah, don't know what I was expecting to happen). I probably don't have the tech skill necessary for Lieselotte, or the dedication (since MvC3 will inevitably consume me, no matter how much I want to play AH3), so that brings it down to Kira and Lilica. Based entirely on appearance, as well, they're both awesome (demons <3 and sukumizu <3), so yeah, I'll feel good regardless of which I go with. More updates for the few of you that actually care tomorrow, though tomorrow will probably be a Magic update day.

I can't control it!

If you don't get the post name, its what Phoenix says when she onmnomnoms your 5 bars of meters and comes back as Dark Phoenix, i.e. her Resurrection. Get it? Man, I'm so funny.

Anyway, WACE ended, I didn't have much to post about while fear I may have screwed up consumed me, until results came back. I got an 88 ATAR, but mucked up English, so I had to sit the STAT. Again, nothing to post while fear consumed me, until I got in the top 1% of the state. So, then I had little time between that and uni offers, so I had to set up my uni application. I got into my Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science double degree course, and I'll be majoring in Japanese and Physics, as I wanted to. So, after setting up my units, getting my student card, and officially enrolling, I'm finally done setting myself up for uni, and ready to waste time posting on here again.

I haven't actually played Pokemon much at all for a while, so the name isn't really all too appropriate anymore, but eh, I've already paid for another year on it, so screw it, its staying. I'm back into Magic, which will give me something to post about and something to make more people read, which are -both- things I enjoy (supposedly) doing. I went 4-1 at the MBS prerelease and scored myself a Blightsteel Colossus, for those that care. He'll be staying in my possession, but the Skithyrix and Green Sun's Zenith I opened will both be sold to feed my need for money, and to pay Azli off. On that note, anyone who's got any Sliver legends they wish to sell me for my Sliver EDH deck, please throw me a message. Particularly Sliver Overlord, since we all know he's the best commander for Slivers, since he tutors up the other two, but I don't have any at the moment, which makes running the deck completely impossible. I'm also missing a few other important Slivers, but I'm okay with proxying them. Proxying the general is a no go, though. Oh, Sliver MPR tokens are good too, so if you've got any of them, cheers. They'd be nice alongside my Brood Sliver, nice and official.

In terms of fighting games this weekend, I got 5th at Waicon and inspired a bunch of salt in one Klayton. Unfortunately, I'm too broke to do a hype made money match, but whatever. Next tournament, maybe.  Andrew Salanki's SSF4 tournament featuring Pete vs Klayton $50 money match. I'd like to do a Gief/Haggar cosplay next year at waicon, but it'd be hard to do EXTREME MANLINESS and a crossplay in the same weekend, so I'll have to get a chest wig or something. We'll see how it goes. In addition, I've pretty much settled on Lilica as my main for AH3 at the moment, and I'm liking Luck Arcana, partially because I like leaving it to chance, partially because I doubt people can take advantage of the random CHs on me, and partially because of the mad oki that dice gives you. But, yeah, arcana's likely to change, I'll give Wind a shot next.

Obviously, like everyone else ever, I'm incredibly hyped for Marvel vs Capcom 3, and I'm looking forward to trying a starting team of Haggar/:Lei-Lei/Morrigan, though Weng has been pushing me to actually stick to a theme and go Team Darkstalkers, which I'll probably give a shot anyway. I'll also probably give MSS a shot, mind you, since scrubs be mad salty about the 'fucking god tier team that all the f*g scrubs will play and win with no skill', despite the game not being out yet and, just a guess, they probably got nerfed. Plus, who knows, maybe it'll be fun.

Lastly, on the anime side of things, I picked up a ton of Tsukihime stuff at Waicon, including a deliciously cute Phantasmoon figure, and pictures will be up of all my new stuff and my entire room put together as it is (in case you missed something new being added). In addition, work on my cosplay for Supanova (and probably being reused at Waicon next year) will be posted here as it gets done (i.e. very, very slowly).

On one last final note, does anyone know of any manga about traps that I probably don't know about? Please send me any names, cheers.

Until next time, for the Sliver Hive and for the Queen.

Comicon!

So, if you haven't realised, are one of the plebeians who doesn't read comics at all, or don't really enjoy fighting games (lol), its currently the Comicon weekend. This is important because, as of recent, fighting games are apparently comics, and thus they get quite a show. Obviously, Marvel vs Capcom 3 will probably get the most, since its actually related to comics, and looking quite awesome, but Ono will be making some announcements tomorrow (probably either Super Street Fighter 4 DLC or Namco vs Capcom, or Darkstalkers 4/Vampire Saviour 3, or god knows what), and Skullgirls will be there, so hopefully MikeZ has got some new footage to show us that I can talk about.

Starting off with something that isn't at Comicon but happened this weekend, however, is Arc Sys's heralded announcement. While it wasn't the Guilty Gear XXX many were expecting/hoping for, it was almost as inspiring. Arcana Hearts 3 will be ported to the current gen consoles by Arc Sys, meaning this is the first time in history Arcana Hearts won't have a god awful console port that kills the community. Is this the herald of a multi-cultural Evo2011, with more brands than you can poke a stick at? I certainly hope so. Super Street Fighter 4, Tekken 6, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Melty Blood: Actress Again, BlazBlue and Arcana Hearts 3 would be a pretty damn amazing line up, really. It'd also tie in well with the 'global presence' they're trying to secure for Evo, and the Japanese Evo coming along later this year. Oh, and it'd be cool if Melee was there, but, yeah, no, I don't have very high expectations given the meshing between the Super Smash Bros. community and Shoryuken community in previous times. Anyway, with the lack of Guilty Gear, it seems the BlazBlue community will survive. Be thankful, BlazBlue fans, that your game isn't going to die due to the infinitely superior series returning. :P

Returning back to Comicon now, we've got the announcement of 4 new characters and the accidental announcing of 2 others for Marvel vs Capcom 3. This video:

Shows 3 of the 4 intentionally announced characters, Doctor Doom, Super Skrull and Chun Li. As you may have gathered from my previous post, I am a Doom fanboy, and the Marvel team (Doom, Skrull and Deadpool) is really pretty close to what I'd choose out of girlish fan screams at the moment, though I probably wouldn't go for it for gameplay reasons. Skrull is looking pretty silly damage wise at the moment, but he also looks fairly unsafe, so I'm not sure what to think, though I know for sure I love the Invisible Woman's shield and the 'He loves you' religious banter before his super. Doom didn't really do much except wiff Sphere Flame alot, and zone with the pink (now yellow light laser electricity things) beams, so he's looking fairly vague at the moment. As I said before, his Molecular Shield is looking pretty nostalgic, with nice chip, so let's hope it stays that way for the Doom/Strider players everywhere.

Chun Li maintains her three jumps from Tatsunoko vs Capcom, letting her combo higher and further than ever before in the Marvel series, though her health is either lacking severely or Skrull just lolowned her. Her super follow up combos seem to make Kikosho irrelevant for anything except chip, but we'll see as time goes on. The other three characters who were announced/'announced' are Trish (of DMC fame), Amaterasu (from Okami) and Thor, from Thor. Trish has the most shown of her, being in the trailer, and is looking fairly magicy, having a flight mode, being the first confirmed Capcom character to fly outside of Devil Trigger in the Marvel vs Capcom series. Bravo, even though Morrigan should've got it first, damnit. Amaterasu, being a wolf, is distinctly shorter than a human, and thus is bringing back memories of Servbot with her hitbox, though it is extended horizontally and could thus be lol in aerial approaches. Thor, being Thor, will probably have giant lightning bolts everywhere in his moveset, but as only one of his moves has been shown (and, lo and behold, its a giant lightning bolt), I can't really judge anything of him yet, as with Amaterasu.

That's it for the moment, but tomorrow, I'll be back with more stuff to comment on (hopefully more gameplay of Marvel vs Capcom 3, as well.)
