Acceleration of Suguri - QP Hard Story Mode

I just got a PS3 about six weeks ago and this game happened to catch my eye. And I'll admit, I have some mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, this game is a neat little mix between an arcade shooter and an arcade fighter. And it's a system that while it can use a good deal of tweaks, is pretty solid and fun to play. But one of the things that keep me from praising this game is the fact that there is NO ONLINE PLAY for this game what so ever. And to top it off, there's no clear instructions on how to do anything in the game either. Nothing in game ever tells you that hitting X during a Square dash can get you a different move, for instance. So when you first pick up and play this game, you're not going to know even half of what any of these characters to do with no clear tutorial to tell you.

Which brings me to this video. Since there's no online play, naturally you're stuck playing against the AI unless you have friends to get to play with you in which case they'll know just as little about what they're doing then you do if not less. And the AI is really easy to exploit even on Hard Mode as you can see here.

QP is the final boss of the "Pudding" Story Arc. (Don't ask.) You can also unlock her after you beat her here. But the AI seems to have trouble fending off against long range scrub tactics at times. Even on Hard Mode, it can't seem to figure out that, "If I don't stand still and spam shit, I won't get hit." This makes certain AI characters REALLY hate Saki. What you see me spamming here is Saki's Dashing X. Each time you do this, two orbs will come out of her back and grow. When they get large enough, their hit box activates and they'll chase the opponent around a bit putting pressure on them. A human opponent wouldn't have trouble avoiding these and their application would just be limited to keeping him/her on the defensive. But the AI has trouble against these things and you get what you see in this video. And because of things like this, there's no real way to get good at the game without any real competition.

But still despite my gripes, $6 is not a bad price for this game. And if you have a group of friends to play this with, this would be a good change of pace from Street Fighter 4 and Mortal Kombat 9. For the low price, try it out and see how you and your buddies like it. Just make sure you can tell them how to play the damn game first.

cool game. by the way, i've been watching some of your vids and i noticed you like the old school fighting games a lot. are you THE magus1234? the fighting game player from cali?? just wondering!

[Magus12000BC]

@basedbroski No, I'm a different guy entirely. Hell the only games I really made an attempt at playing professionally were Soul Calibur 2 and Garou: Mark of the Wolves and that was years ago.

@Magus12000BC Oh ok, it's just that i saw your video of Aris playing SF3 and that just blew my freaking MIND because i always thought Aris was a Tekken player who hates 2D fighting games like SF3! And the REAL Magus1234 has a fondness for arcade games just like you do because he's been gaming in arcades for a little over a decade now. So i just kinda connected the dots and figured you were the same dude. But i guess i was wrong hahaha thanx for the response though!! later bro
