Yes I did. I think you misunderstood what I was saying or you don’t know enough about how it functions to realize the difference. So I’ll leave it at that because the discussion isn’t going to go anywhere. And no I’m not trying to be a smart ass and if it sounds that way, sorry, not intended.
I’m not arguing if it’s someone’s cup of tea, I don’t care who’s cup of tea it is or isn’t.
And for the record I like tea. I made a pot just a few minutes ago.
Also the collection of videos from your sig is absolute genius.
This thread seems to have gotten a little out of hand. I apologize for the hyperbolic thread title as it seems to be the cause. SFIV certainly has its merits and I really enjoyed the time I spent playing it. However, after getting into 3rd Strike I have come to love the pace and feel of the game. When I went back to SFIV my initial thought was “this slow, awkward pace sucks compared to the silky smooth fluidity of 3rd Strike”. If you don’t have a problem with the pace of SFIV then it is still a great game in its own right. It has just become less fun for me personally based on my own preferences. I was more interested in discussing the nature of the differences between the pace of the two games, as it is a quality that is a little more intangible than other aspects of fighting games.
He clearly means you wouldn’t be playing 3S right now, over XBLA/PSN, which is true. I mean… there’s no way to prove it… but I strongly doubt there would have been a 3S re-release (especially one this ambitious) without SF4 doing what it did.
Again… that statement has absolutely zero to do with the arguments being made in this thread… but it is a true statement on its own.
Oh yeah as far as OE definitely. I mean I was being purposely tongue in cheek because he was being vague but yeah.
SF4 has done a lot of good, that’s for sure.
Everyone can have thier opinion, I didnt say you had to like it. It doesnt suck and that would be a general(not personal opinion) solid reason why is doesn’t suck.
I don’t know how anyone likes SF4, it’s slow boring and so turtle friendly. I’m honestly not even a huge fan of 3s cause I think parry’s are fucking stupid. But boy is sf boring.
Ellipsen: Oh I know. It is all just up to opinions. I’m just saying that big numbers in sales don’t exactly equal “quality product”. And yes, I do think the SF4 series sucks. Doesn’t mean that people should take what I say to heart though and try to defend it with every ounce of their breath.
Wish I could say the same thing about some of the 3S players here, though.
Except for that last part, this is pretty much the same situation 3rd Strike went through. In the case of the top american players, anyway.
Interesting theory buddy.
