Wezlar posted:Considering its been 3 years I'm gonna sat probably not. But ST has a bigger scene nowadays anyways Maybe for hardcore players, But more people play HDR overall from what I've seen if they don't have a PC or local arcade unit. I still play both, but HDR is easier for people to get into if they want to try SF2 and actually do decently.

washow posted:Someone actually DOESN'T HAVE a PC? Not one that has GGPO ready for ST. It's just easier and more fun to play HDR overall for convenience of it being on a console rather than have to mess around with emulators and set that poo poo up, we have to do that enough for 2I and KOFs as it is.

Question Mark Mound posted:It's basically the same as a sports league. If Team A wins a lot more matches over a long period of time than Team B, they're ranked higher. It doesn't matter if Team B can win if they try extra hard, the team (or fg character) that has an easier time winning any given game will be ranked higher. Fighting games really shouldn't be compared to real sports. For one thing, leagues don't have the same teams having matches over long periods of time, the point of a league is to have multiple teams, so this isn't common, and not a good comparison. Also, in sports, it really does come down to working harder and or smarter as a team or an individual to achieve your goals with the only worry you have is personal ability and skill, unlike a fighting game where a characters restrictions might make something seemingly impossible no matter how good you are.

Any ideas? "All about the DP" or "Fireballs deep"

Whiskey A Go Go! posted:I always saw them one in the same. Then again, Metly players are more likely to masturbate while playing their mains while Brawl players are more likely to get into a Noel Brown-style meltdown of excessive swearing and fist fighting. That's pretty creepy, especially if they can't even pronounce someone's real name, having to use retarded terms like Anarchy to address people with real names. That being said, it looks like it could be fun for about 5 min before being dropped by most people except for hardcore pony fans. Has there been any information on what kind of other set-ups or abilities these characters might possess within the system. Countblanc posted:Don't conflate anime fans who play anime games with fighting game players who play anime games, please. But in many cases they are one in the same in my experience, not all of the time, but at least enough for the stereotype to exist.

Whiskey A Go Go! posted:They are trying act like the REAL PROS and believe such actions will make the community better. They only started to call me Anarchy because some of the guys in my scene found my steam ID when steam updated with that Facebook linking and found my username Anarchy Whiskey!. So now they don't call me by my real name but whatever stupid name they have for me since it changes on the week but it has been Rainbow Dash for the past month when a bunch of bronies joined the group. They also send me really stupid Steam and Facebook IMs like to stop playing Team Fortress 2/Company of Heroes/Gears of War 3 and practice my Chun-Li so I can attempt to play serious this week. You really shouldn't take things involving video games seriously at all, because they are just toys, but that scene sounds pretty loving stupid in how they conduct themselves. Refusing to call people real names at a social gathering and demand you take a loving hobby more serious than other hobbies is a huge loving dick move and I feel for ya.

40 OZ posted:Also, I don't understand why people want to be able to beat justin wong before they ever play. The point of these games is to get better at something and to compete, because we are people and that is a thing that people generally find fun or enlightening or whatever. The point of these games is to make money, that's all it is and ever will be. The fact that people CAN play these games as they do is pretty impressive, but it is not the primary purpose by a long shot. If it was, there would never have been a decline in fighting games after 2002 as competition was still strong, but there was no real revenue in it for Capcom. Countblanc posted:I'd say the odds of you making a name for yourself are probably higher in fighting games, but I could never say they're competitively accessible purely because of how netplay isn't really an option. If you have no scene your options are to drive long distances which is simply not viable for many (especially teens, who make up a good chunk of competitive players in other genres) or to suffer through the garbage that is online play. If I play LoL or Starcraft or TF2 or whatever then I'm playing a game designed for and built around the assumption that all players will have a degree of lag; yeah LANs happen, but you certainly don't need to attend them to get a strong dosage of competition. This is also a very hard truth. Most players I've met who don't even want to become competitive would like an offline outlet to play. But when the closest thing is 2 hours away, you would have to be a super obsessed player with a lot of spare cash or nothing better to do if you are going to waste that kind of money on gas every week/day for something that isn't family or work due to the total cost and sheer distance you would have to travel every time you just wanted to play a videogame.

40 OZ posted:Again we have this "very hard truth" that being literally the best in the world is too difficult for most people. It's a hard truth that a lot of the time it's not that easy to find good players locally, unless you are willing to drive considerable distance and deal with the gas cost just to play a videogame. A lot of people aren't willing to do this if they are in that particular situation for a variety of reasons. I never said a drat thing about being the best in the world at a videogame and how I have problems grasping that.

Superschaf posted:Not really, some are just plain terrible and neither worth playing seriously nor just loving around for a bit. No game is really worth playing seriously as that implies there is something tangible to gain from doing so, but most games are worth loving around with for a bit unless they are just a useless clone of another game that adds nothing new, or is coded so badly it is unplayable. Bathtub Cheese posted:I do agree a lot of people who whine about balance are just whining without substance and wouldn't understand the broader implications of adding or removing certain things. The new crop of players pretty much made me give up altogether on fighting games, for what it's worth. MvC2's metagame came about not so much because people truly loved it, but because NOTHING came out after it (with the exception of the unfinished Capcom Fighting Jam) for a decade so they played what they had, and did it very well. If MvC3 came out in 2003, MvC2 would be a footnote like MSHvSF as everyone would have moved on. This is also the same reasons why 3s became popular over 4 years after release.

Countblanc posted:That and the idea that adding money to something might encourage players to dedicate more time and thus make for cooler tournaments to watch. I think it's safe to say we wouldn't get the level of play from professional Basketball we do if there wasn't someone paying people to do it. Or even on a much smaller, more similar scale, the level of play in Starcraft wouldn't be where it is if there weren't people training as fiercely as I've heard they do (which is spurred by tournament winnings). If this happened on say, ESPN or something, there would be a larger number of people watching, which means more complaints about things they don't like to SEE (be it a fan favorite isn't top tier or something) in tournaments or things they don't like. Since Capcom would see actual money for having their product be used to make another product, they would have a lot more incentive to patch things like that out ASAP in order to meet fans demands in the hope that ratings go up and bring in more revenue. So rather than see a balance patch every few months, you would see one every few weeks. I don't think this is the best idea for anyone involved.

That's a terrible example as people know that a beards on a clean shaven character makes them evil almost entirely because of the mirror universe. Even then, Skullgirls probably wouldn't have the same sign up numbers as all of the games listed for Evo anyway.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Actually it would be a mixed bag at best because it would kill the GGPO community which already serves the same function only with a better lobby and those 18 people can get to know each other there. Capcom would do it to consoles in a heartbeat if they knew people cared enough about darkstalkers to make a profit. Problem is, only 18 people care about Darkstalkers (19 if you include myself).

Uznare posted:Alpha 3 is loving garbage though? I'd rather have the Alpha series dead than have another Alpha 3 port. A2 is where it's at. Alpha 3 is the third highest selling SF game, though most of that was the psx release. The console versions also removed a poo poo-ton of the broken mechanics. Is it the best SF game? No, but of all the Alpha's it would be the one most likely to actually sell if put on an online market place.

In addition to that the market was/is so saturated with stuff. I don't know if it will be crushed. MkvDC didn't do too poorly, and with the new Batman and Superman films being released and some decent marketing it will sell pretty well based only on the fact its famous superheroes doing stupid/cool poo poo.

MK Trilogy is my favorite 2D MK game ever, but it's a buggy peice of poo poo and is not nearly as good as UMK3 and is like so far below the quality of MK 9 its insane. That being said, Having drat near everything in one game was mind blowing at the time and it was fun as hell.

El Estrago Bonito posted:Dong Dong Never Die is great because IIRC 95% of the characters are shotoclones of some sort and Mario is 100% Akuma from one of the alpha games. Project Justice was a sequel to Rival Schools. there was no playstation version of PJ at all. I would have to second the recommendation for MK trilogy (PSX version though, it has more characters) that was my favorite MK game for a long time, despite it being completely retarded.

systran posted:I think we're already well over the saturation point. Every time a new game comes out or an old game is re-released, I know that it's going to get a few weeks to two months, maximum, of play time in my scene before everyone goes back to SSF4 and Marvel. I don't feel much satisfaction from learning a game in the early stages and having everyone stop playing it by the time we start figuring it out. Didn't SFxT sell more than UMVC and AE Disc versions of SSF4? I know it sold a lot less than they expected, but I don't think it was a failure in that it made no profit whatsoever.

Crosscontaminant posted:In the interests of diverting attention away from Cabbagepots, I have a question. Focus on landing pokes and 2-in-1's. practice things like most characters have cr. medium normal xx special for example: Ryu can do crouching medium punch or kick and cancel the down motion for the crouch directly into a fireball that is safe, does a little damage, and creates space. While this will not maximize your damage, it will make damage more reliable than say learning links and dropping them all the time. All characters have special cancelable normals that are important to learn for various situations. Normals are your friend. Use various pokes and anti-airs (difficult to give a general rundown on that since each character is rather different in that regard) to try and keep them at an optimal distance.
