Finally got to Boss Order Sol in arcade mode of GGXXAC with Slayer, missed frc on a whiffed DoT.  He proceeded to Dragon Install Sekkai me.

NGBC: first time through, got to goodman with Iori and K'.  With only K' left, saw that Goodman's fire had.. flown off stage.  Never having played him before, I thought I was safe to rushdown.  Anyone who has faced him knows how this ended

Half Life: Didn't go into the portal at the end of the game.

You're good with Slayer too. Awesome!

But... NEVER let Boss Order Sol even get a sniff of that move. He almost always times it at the worst time in harder difficulties. So, yes, that was a failure. Forced Roman Cancels are a good friend to many characters in the Guilty Gear series (besides people with near no recovery time, like Dizzy currently or back then... whichever.)

NGBC: Yep. Same thing happened with my Mai/Kim team. Rushed at him when the fire was missing, only had Kim.

Half Life: You learned your lesson now, did you?
So this.... this is the beginning of something awesome!

Woo-hoo!

I just recently discovered...stuff...for my PC....and now I can play all the old games from the Genesis, Snes, & NES days. :D

And guess what, I've got new failures!

Sega Genesis:

Fatal Fury: Picked Terry, Went into Howard Stadium, First fight is Tung Fu Rue...I don't even know my controls yet. >.< Figured them out pretty quickly though. :D Then I figured out how to do the Geyser move...at the cost of a round. Then the second round came, And I decided to spam Geyser attacks...Tung gets to half past dead, goes Hulk mode, spin rapes my ass into defeat. >.<

Contra Hard Corps: Picked Browny (Because him and Fang are the only two cool characters there) and started my road down memory lane. I charged ahead, guns blazing and body parts a-flying everywhere. Got to the catapiller thing and got stepped on. >.< First life lost. Second life kicks in, I run around shooting like a noob and get stepped on again. Catapiller goes off screen. Third and final life kicks in, I move on ahead passed "Rising Ground Walk" and into the spinning flame spider, I kill it no problem, But then I forgot that it will then go crashing into the building....located behind me at the time. >.< So I don't jump, getted kill, and get a game over...just before getting to my favorite guy in the whole game...The Cyclops.

Chakan - The Forever Man: Going through the air level, Attempted to jump to the very first platform...came a few inches too short. >.<

Family Feud: ...You know what, Let's just move on.


NES:

Metal Gear: ...I don't feel like sharing this one...Let's just leave it as I still can't get to that damn truck...even after all these years. >.<

Contra: Bullet, Bullet, Pit, Game Over, The End. >.< And that's level 1.

Street Fighter 2010: As a result of not remembering my control, I get pwned by all the minor league bullet-dudes until the guy I'm supposed to fight comes in to finish me off. >.<

Castlevania III Dracula's Curse: One word...Frogs. >.<


SNES:

Wild Guns: ...You know what, No comment. *is embarrassed at dying at the very, very beginning*

The Lawnmower Man: ...Virtual Flying Through Levels...'Nuff Said.

...And that's all.

...oh wait, I got one Mugen related.

Sol Badguy vs Master Geese...and I'm Sol. >.<

And to clarify why I seem to suck so bad, I'm used to playing those games with their repective controllers. But seeing as how I don't have a way to plug those into my PC...well, Use your imagination. :D

Half Life: You learned your lesson now, did you?

GG: Yea I try to as much as I can.. but considering I play a defensive slayer with emphasis on counters and exploiting openings, I always give him that 2 seconds of control, at which point the screen goes black and I realize I have no hope as his health returns to full.

NGBC: I honestly do think though that they got seriously lazy with Goodman.  I mean.. a boss that can't crouch SNK does alot  (see Orochi and Igniz), but.... he cant even jump?... They could've done so much more with him

HL: No, I'll do it every time.  It's a much more definitive ending :D


Addition to my list: Samurai Shodown 3 Arcade: Wasted $15 playing as Basara vs Zankuro.  Arcade stick was loose as hell.  <Insert other excuses>  Never beat him

Woo-hoo!

Get a PS2 -> USB converter.  They work very well, sell for less than $6 on ebay.  Supports 2 controllers.
Its the only reason I can actually play Gouki + GGXXSlayer without failing miserably.

I use the X-box 360 controllers. It's my thing.

Now... WHY DID YOU DO THAT WITH YOUR MONEY!

Samurai Showdown 3 Zankuro is a EMULATOR ONLY type of boss. I'm serious. I have two other fighting gamers in my family, and I am the ONLY one who's beaten him (and that unusually hard game). And I've beaten him 5 times (4 without an emulator).

I used the following:

Slash Basara (some advice for the future)... barely won on my last few dollars. Lost a bunch... got desperate...
Slash Hanzo... third time I fought him, I won. I got use to him...
Bust Galford... fifth time I fought him, I won. LUCKY AS HECK, I beat him with two comebacks on the second and (because he's a douche like that) Obligatory Zankuro Extra Round.
Slash Ukyo... one time, I won without using any continues for that whole game... I'm a Ukyo user first, Hanzo second...
(Emulator) Slash Haomaru... not lying here... almost 40 times it took me to beat him.

And got butthurt using Shizumaru, Nakoruru, Rimururu, and freaken Gaira.

Hate that dude... I thank SNK for at least decreasing the difficulty with their SamSho bosses... besides SS5 Special with the gauntlet of bosses I didn't want to see again.
So this.... this is the beginning of something awesome!

Tekken 3: I was defeated by Gun Jack in Survival Mode. 254 victories to the shit :'(

Just getting ironic: I love tekken 3, but I deeply hates the Jacks .
