I think you can set up matches on live, but I don't have a PS3, so it's moot, I guess. I wish I did, though, because the d-pad on the 360 controller is the worst I've ever used. 8/10 shoryukens end up causing me to jump because it thinks I'm pressing up-forward instead of stopping at down-forward. Oh well.

xbox live is where the girls play.

real husky dudes with hair on their chests (that's me, btw) play SF4 on the Ps3... as girl characters. : /

i'm ixobelle on the ps3 if that matters, but you can't actually set matches up i think? it all seems very random.

I think the whelp thing would totally work with some tweaking. To deal with the threat of a thunderclap or something like that, maybe only the phased people can attack the whelps or you need a certain pick-uppable weapon. Or if you really want to hard counter something like that, give them unchangeable aggro where each of them picks someone and will not deaggro from them until dead. In any

that could work, since the initial reaction would be to carpet bomb the whole pack, as you're saying.

threat would be weird, because a tank could just run in and thunderclap, and the mobs themselves would attach to him,

but the players who appeared to be whelps would just keep running. it would defeat the confusion factor. gimme a bit to chew on it and see if i can think of

Hm, how about this. What if everyone except the person who was highest on threat (and maybe one or two others if you're feeling saucy) got teleported to a certain spot when the whelps spawn? The phased people would just see a bunch of whelps run out from the spawn point, but it wouldn't be initially apparent who the whelps are (since they're following their aggro targets) and who the players

I think you're misinterpreting the whelp thing. While there would be whelps spawned throughout the event, there would also be phasing where one raid member sees a few other raid members as whelps himself. they don't actually become whelps, he just *thinks they're whelps*.

a few obvious issues with this raises its head, though... depending on who

I like some of the stuff in here. Becoming the dragon seemed really cool to me and having the dragon react to doing certain things seems like it could be cool, but that could be misconstrued as an unsubtle cockblock to consumables or certain abilities.

Anyway, the thing that popped into my head is that you don't need to pick the dragon's color just yet. Depending on how you want to

No, im just retarded and overlooked the tiny portion of text that said "Don't get cleaved / tail whipped".

Also, I love the idea of becoming the dragon and attacking the raid.

I really hate sleep clouds though, especially as melee.

Having it be some 'vanilla' dragon wouldn't fit with the nature theme of the garden, but yeah. The clouds were kinda lame, and there's no reason to keep them around if that mechanic sucked.

I do like the 'sneaky phasing' mechanic, though. Perhaps that could be the main "phase 1" hook, with the mind control / wipe the raid thing be phase 2.

tail whip and cleave are in there,

The 4 green dragon encounters are linked and overplayed. Make a new encounter, if possible.

Sleep clouds sucked, as did most of the mechanics.

Maybe a green poison breath that doesn't leave a retarded cooldown debuff, but paralyzes and bounces. Also, maybe give him a buff that reduces melee damage unless weakened and necessitate a tank drag to X area (To possibly smash people
