*Extrapolated Standings*

Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/11

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

Well, I'm beginning to hate the Zerg. The units are so damned slow, with the exception of upgraded Zerglings. Hopefully better, faster units come later.

Oh, and for Leonhart: I finally started MGS2. I miss Mei Ling, although Otacon as Mei Ling was hilarious. Rose just sucks.

What mission are you having trouble with? If you're new to RTS games, mission 9 can screw you up pretty bad as it's the first time you'll see Carriers.

Oh, and for Leonhart: I finally started MGS2. I miss Mei Ling, although Otacon as Mei Ling was hilarious. Rose just sucks.

You're the entire reason I haven't rated MGS2 yet. And though you'll hate Rose, don't hate Raiden because of her. Hopefully you haven't had the plot ruined for you yet, because there are two long codec conversations near the end of the game that are some of the best writing in all of gaming.

And are you ever on AIM? I never see you.

*MGS2/STARCRAFT SPOILERS AHEAD*







I'm on the fourth mission. Kerrigan just hatched when I saved. I was having trouble with the third, because my Mutalisks were too slow to avoid getting torn up by marines, and Overlords were too slow to drop in ground troops, even after being upgraded. I ended up using hit-and-run tactics to take out the missile turrets, then just sent two full groups on the weak side of the base.

In MGS2, I think I did have one plot twist spoiled, if it involves E. E. I had thought I had Oceliquid spoiled as well, but since it was revealed right at the beginning, I wouldn't really call that a spoiler.










*END SPOILERS*

As for AIM, I forgot my password some time ago and never bothered to take my old name out of my profile, plus most people I bothered talking to used MSN more often. I need to get around to downloading AIM again.

Well, I just "beat" Fortune. I'm disappointed by the lack of good boss fights so far. It was just Olga, which was a total joke, and now Fortune, which was even more of a joke. How far am I?

The one weakness that game has is a lack of awesome boss fights; MGS was very action-driven, while MGS2 is very story-driven. The first "real" boss fight is with Fatman, and I'm not going to ruin the surprise for you. There are great boss fights, but not as many as MGS 1/3.

I have the weirdest feeling that Ocelot/Leon Kennedy is going to happen.

(1)Link vs. (16)Tanner that would be awesome.

But the matches I mostly wanna see:

Tifa Lockheart vs. Magus (to see where she stands)
Auron vs. Ganondorf
Samus vs. Sephiroth
Revolver Ocelot vs. Leon Kennedy
Kirby vs. Dante
Gordon Freeman vs. CATS (Come on, I know you wanna see it too)

Read that and you'll know why I'm not on often. Yesterday I was at an aunt's house and was able to use her computer.

I think everything is straightened out with the computer company and I might have my computer back sometime next week.

Ick. On its own, I wouldn't call it bad or anything. It's just that the storyline has absolutely nothing to do with what the creator of the series had in mind. There is a "real" ending to it, and the ending presented in Seisouhen is not it.
