go to bottom Show me your S4! show me your tears! this thread's still a huge wip, so excuse the total lack of content mmk? from TV Tropes and Wikipedia: "S4 League is a third-person shooter multiplayer game developed by Pentavision and published by Neowiz Games in 2007. It's been hosted in Europe and North America since 2008 by Alaplaya. Similar in genre to GunZ: The Duel, but approaching from a very different angle, the game places a heavy emphasis on team-based gameplay, with all the game modes' winners being decided by the teams' overall scores and presenting itself in a sporting, rather than violent light wherever possible. There are currently six main game modes, Arcade, Battle Royal, Captain, Deathmatch, Touchdown, and Chaser. The S4 in the name stands for "Stylish eSper Shooting Sports"; Stylish from the surprisingly deep and vibrant character customisation the game offers for its genre (after character creation); eSper from the abilities players can choose from, such as energy shields, flight, or invisibility to name a few; Shooting due to the game's emphasis on gunplay; and Sports, because the game claims to be an 'Online Sport', even going so far as to divide matches into two rounds, complete with a half-time dance from the mascots and a halfway decent automated commentator. Herein lies another oddity of S4 League: it presents itself as 'real', and in a way, it is. Thematically it's a virtual reality gun-play competition participated in over the internet by players using a PC-based client - as played with a bit by the game's trailer, and further emphasised by the computerised aspects of the graphics, which are at times reminiscent of TRON and .hack. S4 League shares a number of visual and musical elements with the DJMAX series, also by Pentavision. A Playstation Portable version of the game has been created, which, while different in some ways, still routes through the same servers as the PC version of the game for online play, meaning PSP players can compete alongside PC based players. There appear, however, to currently be no plans to release S4 Portable outside Korea, which blows, because that'd be one more reason to buy a Vita or PSP." from myself and several others: "S4 League is the most badass game you will ever play and if you disagree I will eat your soul."

Honestly? He pretty much IS the art team. There's also tons of great fan art, for what that may count for. And of course, some nice gameplay pictures. Also, boobs! If that doesn't get you, what will? back to top Videos In addition to all the images, there's of course plenty of nice videos too. Original trailer from forever ago Way more up to date trailer. Seems to characterize the Fumbi as hating his job. A trailer for Chaser Mode from a player from the Beta servers Season 1: Dark Lightening Trailer. Take note that nothing in this trailer matters at all. Season 3: Blade Trailer. Still completely irrelevant, still cool. Wait! How about some actual friggn' gameplay videos? Touchdown Gameplay Someone managed to organize some Swords v Guns matches. Wish I was there. Playing around with the katana. Sigma Blade user against his buddy Katana user.

Gameplay Guide And here's the really really WIP bulk of the post! Seriously, the following is just me testing the basic formatting I'll be using and stuff. It'll be worked on slowly but surely~ Weapons Shooting Weapons Submachine Guns Damage Range: 11-42 Effective Range: Short ~ Medium RoF: 8 rounds per second Ammo: 30 / ∞ Reload Speed: ~2 Seconds Movement Speed: 83% Movement Speed while Firing: 83% Unique Versions: Shark Machine Gun, DHa-41 Use: Left Click: Fire SMG. The SMG is a very easy weapon to use, with a very high fire rate and decent accuracy topped with it. There is a slight (but noticeable) spread of fire when shooting, though, so the SMG is ineffective in longer ranges. SMG is an extremely versatile and basic weapon in S4 League. It is recommended to at least have this weapon in one of your 3 slots due to its simple use. Pros: High rate of fire Quick reload speed Shooting while running does not reduce speed. Spreads for easy aiming Cons: Wide spread makes it poor for long-distance aiming Random shot placement makes it poor for long-distance aiming Low bullet clip Spread pattern of the SMG: back to top Semi-Rifle Damage Range: 8-32 Effective Range: Medium ~ Long RoF: 8 rounds per second Ammo: 30 / ∞ Reload Speed: ~2 Seconds Movement Speed: 83% Movement Speed while Firing: 75% Unique Versions: AYA! Rifle Use: Left Click: Fire Semi-Rifle. It has a high firing rate that allows you to quick kill other players. Its spread pattern is similar to the SMG, but more narrow. Right Click: Zoom. This function enlarges the crosshires at the center of the screen and zooms your vision, allowing you to easily see players clear from the other side of the field. Pros: High rate of fire Zoom feature Quick reload speed Cons: Low spread makes it difficult to hit close evasive targets. Low bullet clip Low damage back to top |

Where Can I find a good reference pic for one of these guns? |
| .::Taboo::.:
Google, apparently. Sort of surprising. The image I used for the SMG was my primary reference. |
