State of the Game - April 2009

1 - Kazuya. Couldn't have made a smarter choice :)

2 - HolycrapIvy. Ivy isn't broken, but when I was talking about "6 handers need to extend their hand"...O_O

What I find most interesting about Ivy is this: if your ATTACK deals 3 or less damage. As in partially blocked, damage redux, etc, so really, you don't HAVE to run her with Pokes, but boy oh boy she sounds quite fun.

Cool party.

Really liked today's audio Scuba and crew, lots of good information and it's always nice to see you asking the hard questions and Steve answering them with the class and enthusiasm that he brings to the game.

Your ideas for new player stuff and competitive advice sound great and I will stay posted.

Can't wait for the next one, and to see people at the Invitationals and the rest of con season.

Keep up the good work!

Ivy likes it when her opponents defender loop rejection.

Hey guys,

I don't have access to sound where I am right now, and I really don't want to wait till I get home, and I REALLY would like to know what was said about Ivy . Could someone PLEASE post a recap of what was said about her, you know, like what she will be able to do, hand size/vitality or if any of her symbols were mentioned. I would really appreicate it.

Thanks in advance

This is from memory of the podcast (I deleted it already) She is a 6/27 all life void

F commit?: the next 3 difficulty attack played ignores progressive difficulty

e:? if this attack deals 3 or less damage draw 2 cards.

She is the first poker that steve felt would be competitive.

For the second ability, it's an R, the cost is committing 1 foundation, and it's AFTER YOUR ATTACK deals 3 or less damage, draw 2 cards.

Thanks, you guys rock!!!!!!

Something's telling me she should be silly off of pigen games and soiree's stuff on the void symbol.

0_0

but in all seriousness unless ivy has a really good poke special attack i feel that makoto would just be better.

I so can't wait to use Ivy. I have tried to make 'poke' decks before (Fei Long) and they have failed miserably. If Ivy is actually viable, she will be a blast to play!!!

ALL WILL BE REVEALED!!! Muhahaha...ya card discussions should be up 2mrw probably. Also, wasnt Makoto a 5hs char? 6hs and other char specific stuff might give her that extra boost that is needed.

I can't wait for a real comprehensive rulebook... wait, wasn't that supposed to come out today? tomorrow?

Awwwwweeeeeeeee...... don't rain on my parade!!!!!

Speaking of that, does anybody know exaclty how combo works? is it a keyword or is just written there for reference. Does it take into account non-attacks such as actions in between attacks? While this really should be in the rules section, I figure many people would like to know.

Combo (X) - In order to play the Combo ability written in the card text box, you must have cards with the required traits (noted in the parentheses) in the card pool immediately preceding this card in the listed order. Any references given to zones in the requirements refer to attack zones.

Taken directly from the first spoiler we received on the news page >.>

I don't check the news to often because its usually games i dont play, but thanks alot i must have missed that.

what are ivys symbols?i forgot.

all/void/life and hopefully big boobins as usual :)

We actually had a player (Russ) in our playgroup who made Fei Long competitive for a while. Took him to Top 8 at one of the L.A. power tournies (the last FoP?). Though I'm not sure it could really be called a poke deck. More mid-level, solid stuff, with Challenge the Master supporting it.

Thanks everyone for your support on this SOTG seems everyone is excited for set 12 so have some fun this weekend everyone!!

If Combo becomes big I'm running Alba.

turns out on half of ivy's cards, you can't even see her face or the background and even some of the card text. So... they're just a little smaller then they were in SC4

Yeah.

I wish Voldo was in that set. I could shock players over my sexy old man crush on the guy.
