Write your reply.

assistant: Has anyone else played war gods yet? It is a great game, I would say the best
fighter out at the moment. Amazing fatalities, very detailed. The complete
interactivity between the player and character is great! I know only one type
finishing move and that is with anyone just walk up and hold the 3-D button
then do a round house kick. It knocks them off the screen and sometimes to
the moon, depending on the stage. Anybody know any other finishing moves?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello.
The listing in the Zone 1 EchoList for this echo has expired.  The Zone 1
Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1 EchoList, so it will be
necessary for someone to assume the moderatorship and list it if it is to
remain on the Zone 1 Backbone.  There is a three month grace period to
accomplish this.
During the first month only the old moderator can list the echo.  After this,
anyone can list it.  If the old moderator is gone, then perhaps now is a good
time to hold an election to choose a new one.

assistant: I know about the Alpha/Zero differences in Japan/America but there's a new
one called Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha.  See, Alpha 2 have evil Ryu but Zero
2 didn't, so people over there complained about not having the secrets
characters on Zero 2 so a new game was released under the name above.  Now
this machine contains more options than Alpha2, such as 2 human players vs 1
cpu player or survival mode, plus there's more original characters.

truth.  Like on Rave Racer, I win all the time.  But my cousins, and
friends who mostly, unfortunately, aren't the best at arcade games
don't like time limits because they never get to the check point (like
Ridge Racer).  But, I have nevr had a problem with them.  Except in NBA
Hangtime.  The 2nd time I play it, I decide to create a character.  Now
there should be NOOO time limit there.  There is sooo many options in
that screen, how are you supposed to finish on time, I created Shaq,
who ended up being this fat ugly lady, with the wrong jersey, and
teribble stats.
