Not sure if anyone knows, but when is Two Headed Dragon being updated to have Set 11 in it? (And with any luck, a Block 3 option) It'd be nice to not have to go back and forth between it and Coolstuffinc for deckbuilding...

Also, as a side note, is anyone else a little bit annoyed that Zi Mei's in the prize support for next month? I mean, we've already had her in a promotion once, and we still have plenty of promos we've seen before who aren't legal yet (Rock Howard and Ninon take a bow). The prize support is the only thing left to tackle until UFS returns to it's former glory, in my opinion, but why would we want to play in tournaments to get cards we already have?

Do you mean Zi Mei for next months prize support, or do you mean Zhao Daiyu?

Nono, I mean Zi Mei, as in the 7/20 Evil/Fire hellbird. She's in the next months prize support. Zhao Daiyu is in this month's prize support. I really really hope it's Zi Mei2, otherwise what was the point of the box send-off promo? Whos' gonna be in March, Yi Shan?

The latest news update from FFG says Zi Mei and Heel Snipe. It might be a typo on their part but if not I'm feeling a little underwhelmed. I already have 7 copies of Zi Mei in my trade folder and I can't give them away, so I really don't need any more.

Oh right, I see.

Oh well, it's a minor annoyance but there's been worse. At least new players get access to her and at least now there will be more copies of the witch to burn. At least Heel Snipe is in there.

(eagerly awaiting Regionals season and (hopefully undisclosed) regionals prize support)

1) The best way to find out when 2HD is going to update their site would be to contact them. They're the ones that maintain it. <And we love them for it> Go to the 2hd website to find their contact information.

2) Both Yi Shan and Zi Mei were said that they were going to be included in the regular prize pool at some point in time in the future. ::shrugs:: it happens

i for one am happy. due to the fact i have been unable to obtain zi mei yet.

Why couldn't it be Yi Shan, the character that actually benefits from having 4x in a deck, instead of the character who dilutes her own effectiveness by running 6ccs!

Also not-helping my attitude is the fact that I didn't send my boxtoppers in on time for Yi Shan, but I did for Zi Mei :S

Perusing THD and CSI last night, I came up with the reason Rock and Ninon hadn't been released yet. It's actually very simple, when you think about it.

Look at new promo Ukyo. He's SNK4P. Rock and Ninon are both SNK6P. We still don't even have the other SNK4P characters - SNK4P is a 15-card set, and we don't have 8 of the cards (heck, 7 of them haven't even been spoiled yet - Seth was a fluke with that former employee collection sale).

On a personal note, though, I find it interesting that Lilly Kane and Geese from the SNK4P batch rotate, and the other characters don't =/

I have a stack of YI-Shan *stack*

ping me on TCO or email, and we'll figue something out.

I guess you're right in terms of the set numbers on the promos (although Demo Deck Mai is SNK6P and legal, but she IS from a Demo Deck...) but then if thats the case, why not release some more of these than Zi Mei, a character we've already seen and played half to death? I sympathise with those who couldn't get her in the past, but it seems like the box redemption program was less exclusive than we hoped. I would be absolutely fine with having Zi Mei come out, if more cards were to come out with her. I'd love to see all these promos thathaven't come out yet. Admittedly, it doesn't help that the UK guys already acquired Heel Snipe's over the past couple of months from the Street Fighter Nats (although that deserves to be in the prize support as a lot of people don't have it, we were very lucky to have those), but it's difficult to get excited over cards we already have. As I've said many many times before, we need to go back to having a set of promos released in a batch over the course of a few months rather than 2 per month, as it would give people more time to acquire the cards they need multiple copies of (like Heel Snipe and Chester's Backing) while the character cards don't get thrown in the bin because you already own 10 of them. I know that some people wouldn't be so keen on that idea because it means that the characters are slightly harder to get, but when you think about it, isn't that a good thing when opposed to having them be worthless because they're too easy to get?

Is there a single place where we can search and peruse cards if THD is not working?

I've been using Coolstuffinc for the new cards and THD for anything before them in combination. Do we still not know when we can be expecting any updates for it?

Also, has anyone wondered why 2 months after the last one, we still haven't had any sort of State Of The Game yet?

I will send them an email tomarrow for everyone if no one has yet and see when they project to get set 11 up .

Viewtiful_Joe said:

No because Steve has already posted his apologies for being late with December because of his work load, and subsequently posted that he aims to have the STOG posted by EOB tomorrow.

Forgive me for beating a dead horse with a stick here, but has anyone managed to get hold of the THD guys to see when an update is on the horizon?
