Yeah it's hard to come up with a semi credible sci fi reason for it. It is particularly far fetched, even amongst super powers. I was thinking perhaps a 6th 'sense' that can observe and manipulate brain waves by 'tuning' the telepath's own brain to a kind of frequency. Something like that, anyway. I'm not interested in really elaborate powers, though. I'd rather keep it 'low fantasy'

It's not a totally original idea- it's kinda inspired by stuff like those bits in Watchmen where they all smoke different stuff than tobacco because Dr Manhattan exists. It got me thinking: Would a flying man rewrite the laws of physics? What would telepathy reveal about the human brain? etc. More to the point, what would be the psychological impact be on people who could do that kind of stuff? That's what I want to write about, not just stuff like dudes being punched through buildings:heh:

Here's my idea in a nutshell: In a near future, the world is on the brink of a make or break crisis of resources, ecological conditions and resulting geopolitical fallout. With the decline of the planet, the inexplicable dawn of the superhuman has occurred. In a kind of 'Jason Bourne meets x-men' style, world governments are engaged in a new Cold War- only nukes have been replaced with superhumans. Whoever controls them controls the benefits their powers could lead to and they can dictate the political and economical course of the next phase in history, much like America does today having established dominance with their nuclear arsenal over the USSR. The action would focus on a team of superhumans and their human 'handlers' operating out of Europe, engaged in a kind of covert war for new superhumans. I have a few more in depth ideas for it but that's the basics. Now if only I knew a really good artisté

Dollhouse Ep2 As I predicted, the show is greatly improved now that it's established what the frak the premise is. Hints of the wider storyline and more time spent outside the dollhouse and Echo's assignment were welcome diversions, and Eliza is a compelling protagonist, mmm yes. -
probably. Every time I play against him, good players have just minced me by going in to a crouch and charge partitioning a shit load of sonic booms and flash kicks. Euargh.
-
I actually have a really good idea for a comic in my head. I don't know any artists though and I think it would be hard to convince anyone my idea is good enough to pour the insane man hours required to draw such a thing.

I just got to about 550 Got to 7 wins on the trot (Tiger knee!) before some dude took me down with Sakura. Was a good fight though so I'm not too pissed. Just a bit peeved that I couldn't get an ultra off- would have won me the game...
-
initial impressions are that Gouken is a bit of a fucking baddass. Totally defensive player: his charge fireball, anti air fireball and stationary hurricane kick all add up to a character that's best used with the enemy coming for you. He's slow but immensely strong and his ability to lay out some serious hurt on the counter is just awesome. Need a bit more practice though. Takes a while to get your head around all his moves being totally inverse to usual shoto rules.
-
umm, that stuff about no perfects and ultras is BS. I Took out just about every fucker in the game with Tiger Destruction and got Gouken.
-
ok you need to: Do Arcade with Akuma, no continues Do Arcade with Anyone and get 2 perfects and at least 3 Ultra finishers. note: I think if you perfect someone in round one, then ultra in round 3 the ultra cancels out your perfect my advice is to missile spam the first two characters for a perfect on very easy and then go apeshit with as many ultra combos as you want till Seth is a crumpled sack of turd.
-
no i mean when I do it with Akuma, cna I use continues?
-
done that. can I use continues with Akuma?
-
you can't.
-
yup... I was on shocking form. I seem to have had a turnaround with Sagat though. Maybe next time. oh and I keep getting Akuma instead of Gouken. Wut?
-
it's less goth, more.... 'sexually ambiguous highwayman'. Reminds me of my mate James.

Predator Watch Predator and drink everytime something homoerotic happens.
-
easy enough. Cheers! for some reason I'm finding kick ultras easier than punch. It's actually insane: I basically can't do Ryu's but I've got Sagat and Cammy on tap.

Ping Pang Pong! you need about 6 + for this to be fun but it's absolutely amazing once you get it going. basically, you sit in a circle. the person who starts says ping, then the sequence continues to pang, pong going clockwise. When the third player shouts out Pong, they point at another player of their choice and the sequence starts over. If you mess up the sequence at any time you drink. the trick is to confuse everyone- you can point whenever you like and it really headfucks people
-
alas! The monumental shafting bestowed upon us by misplaced fightpad pre orders must verily be endured.... Just unlocked Akuma. Hate to ask again but what's the sequence for Gouken?
-
because everyone's talking about new protagonists and shit, or new voice actors. Obviously, if Shepherd is alive and well at the start of the game then his death (which won't happen you gullible fools!) would be part of the story and such. so yeah. Huge difference.
-
I'll buy the pads off you! (seriously)
-
Hold The Phone! New Yeah Yeah Yeahs album?
-
they're £70 on Ebay atm. What the frak? people are fucking dumb.
-
nah. They'd be shit gaah! seriously fucked the fuck off about this. I'm struggling with the controls a bit and I just know I need some better equipment- I am doing a double QCF + 3xp for the ultras but the pad is fluffing it so often. Gaaah!
-
Shepherd isn't dead you fools. He could very well die mid game though- nothing in the trailer suggests they're talking about the start of the game at all.
