Literally cannot get enough of this. Ogre is evil. Loads of mixup/block strings that are easily followed up. Suprised he is not more popular online, but then most people are still using Ryu/Ken/Kazuya/Hugo/Rolento.

I've hit B rank so I've set myself the challenge of using Paul as he's apparently bottom tier. He has little practical combo potential but is a hard hitter. So its Paul/Law atm for giggles. Makes up for lack of Blanka & Dan, although I'll be getting half of my wish soon enough.


Ogre's great. Next to Heihachi he's probably the Tekken character I've put the most time into. He's got some devilish combo's if you can get the timing down on them right.

Mario Tennis on my Virtua Boy. Had people around tonight and someone took an interest in it. More people liked it than I anticipated!

Only have the 1 game though.

Legend of Grimrock for the PC. Basically it is Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder updated(Darren mentioned it in another thread). Really good so far. I have just found out how to make potions. The spiders are very irritating! I am on level 3 at the moment. Puzzles are good as well. Just the right amount of difficulty. Good 'old school' RPG fun.

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis on Xbox (Which is excellent) and Prototype 2 on PS3 (which is very disappointing).

Yeah, I pulled off a combo which I might have been able to infinitely spam if I hadn't fluffed it. I used Ogre's Hunting Owl move (I think that's what it's called...the big punch where he leaps down from the sky) followed up by 2 x LP punches then the Ancient Power explosion-like move. I managed to chain two sets of these together and - like I said - if I hadn't messed up the timing for the third one, I might have been able to carry on.

I also love Ogre's 'Ultimate Kick Combo' :)

For anybody that has the PS3 version, how do you play as Cole and the two cats? They seem to be 'greyed out' in arcade mode and I can only use them in training...

After completing Hotel Dusk I might just go back and finish Mass Effect 3 primarily because it's a brilliant game so far but also to see this terrible ending everyone was banging on about

I thought that too when i first went up against him. He's pretty easy once you learn his moves. Theres some decent tuorials on youtube on how to beat him. If you put a heavy hitter in your team you should be pretty safe (eg Hulk, Sentinel)

You just need to know when to block and when to super jump.

I've only fought him three times with two of them being defeats.

Need to get a bit more practice in for the moment.

UMVC3 is pretty much the only current gen game I play now. Been playing it competitively ever since it was released. Quite good if i say so myself. Would love to play some RG peeps some time.
