TFF Fighter's Guild

[CLOUD]

People, what's with the inactivity of the club....??? No fights going on around you?

Well, it's been quite quiet around here as well, with some exceptions that is.

This isn't an actual fight, like fights should be, but, anyways. Some people got their asses kicked & i was there to tell the tale.

You see, 3 days ago, i didn't go to school because of a stomachache. So, i stayed at home until a friend of mine told me to go to his college to have lunch. It's not always eadible, but the food in unis is really cheap.

So, we went there & while having lunch in a corridor outside, leading to the college basement, there were loud voices shouting. It was familiar, it was a somewhat saying that we used to hear during the period when the schools were shut down by the students.

So, we went out & found out that students from two "students' political parties" were quarreling, the PASP & the EAAK. The leaders of those parties were shouting at each other & the EAAK ones were acuusing the others that they were being payed by the 2nd biggest political party in Greece. The students' parties are supposed to be the stage that politically stabilizes the students for when they are "Greek Citizens"( if you are with the PASP, you are PASOK & so on...) .....LOL, i know...

So, someone said something to a girl from the EAAK & things got fired up. The EAAKites were more than the others & had backup from my uni & others, so they didn't hold back, while the others were only some trendy boys & girls.

And the fight started!!! The EAAKites rushed onto them punching like blind, you know, it's like having a pack of boars fight in a rapier duel. They didn't know shit about fighting, but what can you say, they were outnumbering the others. They would jump on the tables & tear the PASP wallpapers as if it was "Stupid Gay Monkey Time +3", you know. Then, there came some PASP members & run onto them, but some of them saw them & threw chairs at them. One chair landed on a dude's forehead. We're talking about serious damage there.

Someone lifted a garbage can, a big one & while he was trying to throw it on some dude, another one punched him & it fell of his hands, bounced on the pavement & hit me in the ass.....hahahahahahahahahahahaahaha

Some student received serious damage. One is said to have been attacked by 15 others & a girl got smacked in the face by those gangsta-super-cool-manly folks who hit girls. And the next day, it was as if nothing happened.

It's as a friend of mine says. The greek Greece, where you fight one another for their political beliefs, especially when they are just 19-20 years old, when they know nothing about politics, when they see the terrible state which the politicians brought our country to, when they should have already realized that those people will never care about the commonfolk & will just make sure they steal as much as they can, like parasites on the back of the country. Anyhow, i don't want to make this an intellectual discussion, i'm just telling you briefly what i saw.

Those dumbasses....I hate that. But the whole incident was amazing. They would attack as if they had something to fight for; while they didn't. I had never before seen something like that in a such narrow space like that corridor.

[Rasler]

Well, later on, me and my friends might put on our graduation robes again, and go (safely) swordfight while a friend takes pictures. Should be fun.

Hell, of course it will be fun, I'm going after all. Perhaps he'll bring along that wooden gunblade replica I bought him. In which case, I'll bring along my Masamune boken. It's a six foot long wooden sword, FTW!

Fun times to be had, and perhaps even pictures for the forum afterwords.

[CLOUD]

That's nice...but the robes whould hinder your movement right? But it's not serious, so it will be funny..

Instead of just taking pictures, i would take some clips & turn then into a movie. We don't have a fighting movie yet, but the idea is ready & so is that what we call the movie script. It's gonna be titled " The Fellowship Of The Fellowship".

If we get to make it, i'll be sure to post parts of it. It's gonna be too long for me to upload more than just parts of it.

PS. Masanunes rockkkk!!!

[Draken Benvolaid]

Celt.., I think disappeared..., or got in trouble... Either way, I think he'll be dormant for a while.

(sigh) I'm working triple shifts now, so most people are not out at 4 in the morning over here. Not much to fight about when you're dead tired.


Anyway Cloudy, that movie thing might be a fun idea. Maybe we could also make music videos with reenacted scripted fights. Too bad we all live so far away from each other.

With that computer speed problem, We could post it on YouTube or something like that. Then we could just make links instead.


Hey, do any of you guys play any of the Soul Calibur series? I got 3 and had 2. I heard that 4's coming out next year.

[CLOUD]

I've got SC II non Gamecube, mostly because of Link; i love Link. The controls are great, the moves are great & my fav character, Kilik is really strong. Although their final weapons aren't that strong as in SC III.

I also have SC III, it's a pity it's only on PS2....I adore that game nonetheless. The characters are pretty good, even if Kilik isn't that strong. His Soul Calibur is a strong weapon, but his Final Weapon in II, the Long Red one was better.

The fact that you can create your oun characters with great diversity in their appearance & their weapons & classes gives another depth to the game.

The mode "Tales of Swords" or whatever it was called, the tactics+fighting mode is my favourite one, although i find it impossible to beat the final stage. They have more units than i do & even if i get lucku to go to the last one with more than two units, he'll beat me down...

[Draken Benvolaid]

Yea, Tales of the Sword is kinda hard. I never got through the last level either. He really does just beat you down.

SC III is an anti-button-masher game. It can be really hard at times, expecially when your fingers are tired. I was on one of the Missions, the Survival one on medium. I got all the way to the last one, then died. Couldn't get up and got hammered. 30 fights can be tireing.

I'm OK with Kilik, but I'm better with Sigfried. Heavy broadswords all around, you know? It's great that they split up Nightmare and Sigfried; sorta like a redeamed good and a absorbing evil fight.

[CLOUD]

I haven't played in some time, but i still remeber some things about it.


Yeah. It's better that way. My brother likes Siegfried. He can do some decent damage. I don't like him that much because he is slow & a faster character can prove difficult. In the tales of Swords, i had trouble beating him, he was Lv70 & lucky, while most of my chars were Lv45 or so.

I liked Kilik because of SC II, where he was stronger. But he does have some acrobatical moves here too...
When it comes to broadswords & stuff, i like the barbarian class. Not just because i can customize some wicked barbarians, but also because when they're using the Iron Sword type of weapons, they have some good moves. I don't remember clearly, but there is this move >,>+Square i think, the one where hensmacks his sword in fron of him, with it engulfed in flames. It's a strong move & it also is unblockable.

The stupid thing with barbarians is that they aquire the Soul Of Nightmare & Soul Of Astaroth. I'd rather have a Soul Of Siegfried; but that was obtainable by the Knight class along with the Soul of Raphael. Anyhow, i think that Raphael has the strongest Final Weapon because it can recover health each time you hit the opponent and every time you block (??? maybe, not sure).

One question: Have you beaten that Lv99 old dude in one of the last stages in Tales of Souls?

[Silver]

Me? haha I've just been busy with several things. It is the HSC year at school after all. The big one. And I have made several promises and/or commitments to people I have to keep. A promise is a promise as they say.

As for the soul calibur games, another fave of mine. I prefer a custom character in 3 though, a swordmaster with a lance. With that setup I'm virtually unbeatable.

Nope, he killed me even when I went up against him with all 5 members of my team. He still had over half his life, too when I lost to him. I tried several times, but to no success. I just skipped him after my 8 attempt. Thank god he doesn't come out of the tower.


Anyway Celt, yea the lance guys are great characters, too. Long range, decient damage, and you can make the lance spin like a rotor blade, knocking enemies back. I really like the..., um..., I think, back side grapple, when you stick the lance in the ground, and then twist your opponinent around it, then slam them into the ground. Makes for a real grewsome finisher move.

I'm good with most heavy weilders, but for some reason, I found out, that I'm the best with Sofitia. Unrelenting attacks, quick hits, and...., um..., quite unusual grapples.... lol. I got about 8 perfects in a row in the Tournament areas with her.

My custom class is the Knight class. It has everything I'm good with. I love the flying/jumping forward slash move. Usually I use it to get behind my enemies, and use a grapple, the one where you put your opponent on the blade edge, and then do a cartwheel with it. The class is faster then Siegfried, so it's better balanced for me.


Hey Celt, other then the swordmaster class (everyones good with the swordmaster class), which is your fav.?

And Have you guys ever made one based on another character from other games/movies/TV shows?

I did manage to defeat that guy. I wasn't really into fighting him, but i tried, i was really lucky & even if two of my warriors died, i defeated him with that Iron Sword-wielding girl; the knight one...her name, i don't remember it. It's been long since i last played it.

About characters from shows & stuff, the only one i made was Zorro- with the rapier. I also made a female Kilik, whe wasn't isentikal, but wtf...even a Tifa i made, a ninja, was freaky, didn't look that much like Tifa.

[Silver]

I tried to make a santa last christmas. He looked like a jolly red hobbo.
As for my favourite character other than swordmaster, I'd say knight. For the lances y'know. And pirates, if I'm playing a speedster who won't allow the lancemen to get an attack in edgewise. Chinese swords can be a lot better than their reputation.

As for other characters, I did make some who were like others, and the KOS-MOS I'm sure everyone's made from the type X female parts. It's good for a bit of fun.

[CLOUD]

Yeah, those X type parts were very expensive though...

One other thing. Soul Calibur III & Tekken V are both made my Namco, right?

Can someone tell me why while SC kicks ass, Tekken has to be so bad?

The controls in SC are very good for a PS2 game, 3 types of attacks, defence & combinations, characters can run around & stuff.
On the other hand, Tekken is one of the slowest games i've ever played. Let's say i'm using Jin. That guy is HUGE, but when he kicks, it takes long for him to move his kicking leg, so long that the other leg is already rotten & stinks!!! The character movements age slow like hell, the one who arranged the buttons must be retarded & having to press the < to defend....no comment.

My point is that since they made SC so good, how could they have turned Tekken into a pile of crap? Before that i had only played Tekken III & i can say that it was worth it. Five is not.

[foreverfaded]

oooh may I please join? I kinda get in a lot of scarps with certain social groups and around here it's kinda rough. So I've got a nice story to tell...

Ok so me and a group of "dirty goths" were walking home from thrybergh(which is chav central,you either walk fast,run or die) There were about 20 of us, 9 girls and 11 boys if I remember correctly. We kept to the back streets cause it's safer but we got caught by a bunch of about 40 chavs,most of them guys and a couple with golfs clubs. Needless to say we legged it,it was hardly a fair fight. But a friend of mine got caught with a broken collarbone and my boyfriend almost got smacked round the head. I managed to punch a couple of the lasses which was a mistake as there boyfriends were all "hey WTF do you think you're doing hit my girlfriend" and it all kinda turned it a brawl and run.

That happened about 3 weeks ago and it's kinda common,but you get used to it after a while.

Oh by the way I have Soul Calibur 3 and played 2, I think they're great games! But 3 is better cause I feel there is more to do and making your own character is always good.

[CLOUD]

Well, it's up to General Celtic {lol! formal talk!!} , up to celtic_silver, but i don't think he'll have a problem with you joining. So, consider that you have joined, i guess. We have all had our share of scraps & him; more than the rest i'd say.

He was that kind of gangs down there, & so do i, although it's not that farfetched here in Greece. Those people are fracking cowards who need someone to teach them a lesson or two.

You punched a couple of girls...damn, i've never seen a girl fight...it's different. Anyhow, it's never late to witness one.

About Soul Calibur, the depth that III has cannot be compared to the one in II. I can't wait for IV....but if it comes out on PS3....it will take years before i buy it.
