First of all - Can I say finally?!?!?!

From what I have heard EP2 chall comes out on September 11th...that is in a couple of weeks. How long have we been waiting for this??? Ever since the release of the GCN version? I am very excited and I know many people who are too. Finally some new maps to learn and times to try to beat.

I already have my time for EP1 chall under 4 hours so I am happy there...for now. 3:45 would be nice. It is just a matter of lowering a couple of my bad times such as C2 @ 24- and C9 @ 45- if I can get those a good time I can get -19 minutes.

Anyways, just felt like I should post that. I know I have not been around lately. Don't worry, I have not died, I just have been getting a little burned out with leveling and spending VERY much time in Alcyone. Heck, I have over 300 hours on my chall HUcaseal now!!! I could have been to level 130 or so by then...but then again I spend too much time in the lobbys chatting away.

I am starting to level my HUcaseal so you may see me around although a good game, as I have found, is so hard to find these days with all the tweaking and duping going on around here.

Someone actually made Antaries disapear off the ship select last night!!! I was in the lobby when he said that and offered to show that he could. That is when I changed lobbys. No telling what else that player might do. But, it actually did happen. I was mailing a friend and he said that ANT did drop off the ship select when he logged on ><. I hope this is not a forcasting of what might come...

Anyways, just wanted to post that info about EP2 chall. See ya all online....sometime.

Three words:
HELL F***ING YEAH!!!
I predict a few users may be returning to the ranks of PSO shortly. ^-^

Hopefully they don't pull some "one stage at a time" stuff.

But knowing ST, they're gonna wann milk it for all they can and do as HC said.

You guys think there might be new weapons along with the new challenge mode?

I don't think, I know. The ep2 s-ranks will be there for sure. I just dread having to face olga flow at the end.

YAAAAYYY! I'ts about time O_O *prays for an srank Musashi type *

I am there.



This is going to be so badass, I am looking forward to this and have been since this game was released. However like HC said, I fear that we will only get a couple stages to start with.

Edit~Sheik, do you or anyone else have a link to an official announcement on this? I would like to make this news but would like some confirmation.

Sorry, all. All I have to go on is what a Japanese player that I do challenge with is saying...and he seems to be sure that this is accurate information. We will see on the 11th.

You're in luck there Zero, as one does indeed exist.

The only site I saw this news posted on was PSOW, of course we all know how well PSOW checks a news story over and verifies the information. Thank you, PSOW.










I am being sarcastic, btw.
But I do look forward to seeing this and hope ST doesn't screw it up

hmm I couldn't find any thing mentioned in psow's news items about this. Anyone care to do some investigating and get a link?

you'll get extra credit.

If all goes well, that means we can get our hands on the missing s-ranks from the dreamcast version!

The dreaded s-rank needle(s) (which I still have on my DC save =P).
My beloved j-cutter & j-sword.
S-rank hammer, punch, psychoguns.......
Only time will tell when I meet up with these weapons again...
Though s-rank musashi's and stuff sounds tempting,
I still want my j-cutter!
And those dam elusive white & yellow rings...

--d-_-b

It appears I have erred, cause I can't find it now I think I may have mistaken the xbox c mode stuff for it, work plus lack of sleep does that to one self

im not holding my breath till i see something more official

wow. they are finally gonna put it up? WTFOMGABOUTTIME!

ill definitely be back for this!

Although I believe I stated before that I did not confirm this information that is the rumor I am hearing from some chall players. I am sure that ST would try to keep a lid on the release date. It is a very anticipated add-on. It seems very likely it is true. How long have we been waiting for this again? A year? Even if they trickle the stages out one by one it will give us time to memorize and TA each stage as it is released. Fun stuff.

From what I've read over at the arcade, the 2 towers just might be in the mix. Pretty much everything there will give us lots of grief. The same could be said for the seabed, seeing as things like sinows and delbiters can kill almost anyone in a single hit.

Anyone have a clue if this'll be a direct continuation of Challenge 9 or this'll be from scratch. It'd suck to have to start from scratch because you'd die so easily.

No clue... it's still unknown whether or not finishing the first 9 stages is a prerequisite. I wouldn't be surprised either way though.

I think that you will get the equivalent level starting Ep2 Challenge that you had when you finish C9. I don't think there is any way to survive otherwise. With the strength of the enemies in Ep2, I wouldn't be surprised if Scape Dolls drop on occasion, or possibly they will double the amount you receive. anitparalysis and antidotes will have to drop on a regular basis as well.

I still say olga would be a bit much, seeing as that ceiling beam attack can put down even higher level character. And then you got the retards who don't know crap about OF's attacks, let alone cmode in general.

eh the cmode n00bs don't factor into this equation. I'm sure the AT crew will have no trouble getting through these stages. In regards to OF, I bet he won't do all of his attacks, I don't remember what Olga does on normal mode, but remember you don't have to face Falz's third form in C9.

ok it is getting close to the 11th, and doesn't ST usually add new stuff on tuesdays? Have they ever added anything on a thursday?

Isn't this still at the unconfirmed rumor state?

Um...I am starting to think this is a big rumor. After some thought I think we are looking at a couple of months down the road. I can wait...gives me more time to master the EP1 stages for good time. Hey, it was a rumor, but thought it was nice to share.

If I find any info I will be sure to post it here...in this thread. Until then...happy c mode-ing. See ya online.

He's still got the ceiling beam attack. The only thing he doesn't do in normal (as far as I can remember) is Flowen-ize.

As for updates on Tuesdays, the beach quest is supposed to go down today if it hasn't already.

My guess is that they will simply give you more levels, then if you were to face Dark falz. Normal seabed can be pretty tough.

Well it's comfirmed now,the EP2 challenges are only coming on December 1st...saw this on PSOW,still a good place to get all the PSO news.
