MNC followup

By Organous -
I've purchased the game and spent the remainder of the day playing it.  My level is around the 30s, so I think I've acquired enough experience to make a solid opinion on most of this stuff.
Gunner: He's no longer my favorite class, but definitely close.  My strategy with him is to just upgrade the weapon and spend nothing else until I do (maybe a small bit for a jump pad activation).  How I follow that up will depend on how the opposing team is playing.  All of my money goes to me.

Sniper: This one is definitely my favorite, though only because I'm successful in using him.  He's most useful in Ammo Mule arena, where I can set up a base on one side of our bridges.  I lay down a trap at the jump pad, a trap at the walkway, and I'm set.  An Assassin using a Smoke Bomb jump could reach me, but that's it.  I should be able to see her if I'm actually watching the arena instead of aiming down a shot.  Sniping other snipers is fun.  :)

Assassin: Sorry, I just can't play this class.  I can't do it effectively.  Don't ever ask me to be an Assassin unless the rest of the team is REALLY solid.

Support: Support is only as good as the rest of his team.  I'm no good separated from the team.  It'll take more education on how each specific map works to play this effectively.

Tank: I didn't play this much.  I was successful when I did, but this really isn't my style.

Assault: I need to pick this guy up more.  Assault is the fastest character with a gun, and I now see how this can be a beautiful asset.

Siberian Blizzard revised

When Super Street Fighter 4 was released, I committed myself to getting Zangief's new Siberian Blizzard down enough that I could use it consistently when I needed it, and only then would I decide whether it was worthwhile.  It turns out that was time well-spent, as I swear by it in over half the matchups.  Of course, I've had one heck of a journey identifying where it's appropriate and where it's not.  Believe me, it was a journey full of surprises. UPDATED!   Arcade Edition details follow the other general uses.  Also added Juri... I don't know how I missed her the first time.

Coming Home Again: Differences between Score and Panini

Dragon Ball Z is back!  Remember how awesome that was?  It's finally back in real card form!  The community for this game was so strong, Panini America decided to bring it back as an actual product, yet still compatible with the old game.  If you want to work the new cards in with the old stuff, the rules are basically the same as they always were.  As a fresh product, this game was definitely designed very well.  It plays mostly like the old game we always knew, with a few exceptions.  I like the idea of starting fresh, knowing the mistakes of the past so that hopefully they won't be repeated.  With any luck, this game will come to be an even better thing that its predecessor.  I'm totally not doing it because I had to sell all my old cards to fix my vehicle at one point.  That really helped make the decision, but I love the ground floor of anything.

A beginner's guide to the Dragon Ball Z CCG

  Last time, I wrote a little something going over the various styles & characters for the Dragon Ball Z CCG.  That was made to help people figure out how they like to play and pinpoint the best way to get into that.  It was fun to write, but I really don't feel like it helped much more than my ego.  This post is for all those right at the very bottom entry level of the game who haven't even played the game yet.  Maybe you haven't even purchased cards and are curious what it's all about.  Maybe you're confused with the rule book.  Whatever it is, I'm here to get you started.
