Back dashing only works with Chun, just telling you now so you don’t get rekka’d. :tup:
Even if you do like yourself over drizzle, you won’t win by much, if at all, because drizzle is extremely solid. I like his odds even more if he doesn’t use Gief.
Hmmm with there being 100 plus people each tourney…I would think 4 is where its at. In fact, what other games are there out there. Blaz Blue… KOF XII? Yes its something new, but i mean come on…
All the old fighting games came out in 2000. Shit now I feel old…Damn it Robin were almost 30 and shouldn’t be playing this game. SF4 is god compared to real life. I can’t punch my wife like I do with Balrog. Sitting on people with Honda is GDLK. If I do that I go to jail…Honestly, it does something for everyone. For me, its a stress reliever and time to get away from the family a little bit. Honestly, Madden 10 and NCAA 10 is where its gonna be at and the new NHL 2010.
On a side Note, Dave and Busters opened up in Richmond.
Drinks and games after there open til 1?
Skee-ball? ft5 loser with the worse score pays the tab?
No… SF4 is slower, much more boring, and much more defensive than CvS2. No options, very rigid match-ups, extremely scrub-friendly… the game just sucks.
I do find it funny that the same people that said CvS2 was bad because it’s slow and defensive, play SF4 like it’s the greatest game ever. The reality, like I always knew, is that CvS2 was just too hard for people. SF4 is the slowest SF game since Super, and with a huge reversal window, DPs that can be made totally safe, input shortcuts, and direction auto-correction, defense reigns supreme.
The only effective offense is dumb shit like Rog jab/throw “mix-ups”, Rufus’ I’m-not-really-playing-SF4 mindless rushdown, Viper I-don’t-really-have-to-think-or-know-what’s-going-on-I’m-just-gonna-go-side-to-side-until-something-hits bullshit or just general tick throw non-sense. Fun.
I really don’t see how anyone can take SF4 seriously…
I won’t go so far as to say SFIV sucks, but it does feel like it’s lacking a lot. However, CvS2 was dominated by defense early on in it’s life, and I recall hours of complaints about how “noob friendly” some of the stuff was, and how turtley and slow it was, and it’s turned out to be a huge huge rushdown game. This is the first version of the game, lord knows Capcom will put out revisions, not only that but we’re so early in the games life it’s impossible to tell how it will end up. To pass judgement now is kind of throwing in the towel a bit early, don’t you think?
Regardless you cannot deny what SFIV has done for this scene. We have Madcatz building good sticks, Capcom realizing the genre isn’t dead outside of the hardcore, and large turnouts at tournaments across the country. You can’t deny that SFIV has probably done more to bring the genre of fighters in to the limelight than CvS2 has ever or will ever do. I’m not hating on the game, CvS2 is the game that got me in to the scene, but it didn’t have the pull that SFIV does.
Capcom is a business, and they’re trying to sell units. That’s why the game is flashy, easier to play, and feels so scrub-friendly… it is. It brings some of that charm that SF2 had back for the casual players in that they feel they’re doing something worthwhile. There are no complex arcane motions to do, no custom combos to memorize, and few super long extended combos to learn. Is it a bad thing necessarily that this game starts out so easy? I think not, given that we have time to grow and expand on the series. This is a great introductory game, and I can see it dragging a lot of new players in to the fold giving them a springboard to launch themselves to more complex games.
Best game? No, probably not.
Best game to revitalize the scene? Maybe.
yikes…i do know that my gouken took you to pixels each match…you did however eat my abel for breakfast…
keep in mind i have only been playing gouken for like 2 days…
i do agree however comma that Richmond has got some real decent shit when it comes to SF4
and sagat does look good on a team with gief and boxer but he has nothing on a steam powered old man…just shovel coal in his back and let his ass loose!!!
more boring than cvs2? Maybe in terms of playing, the only good part about watching cvs2 is yelling at people to taunt midmatch, and then failing:sad:.
yeah, just wait till the competition in SF4 gets as strong as CvS2. That shit could be as boring as CvS2 to watch; turtling isnt not fun, no matter what game.
CvS2 can be played defensively, but there are an abundance of offensive options. Steve’s lame. Justin’s lame.
Buk, Bas, Combofiend, Choi, Kim, Laugh, Poongko, Cross, KOK, Rai, Deshi, AO, myself, and I would say the vast majority of CvS2 players were/are pretty successful playing pretty offensively.
No 5 on 5. It’s too long and some areas would be scraping to get 5 players that would be hype on the big screen. there will be no qualifiers or anything like that at the tourney.
Nova gets 1 team. If all else fails, I’ll pick team nova from who comes down, but that team you suggested isn’t bad. I’m pretty sure Eric Kim won’t wanna play teams as usual.
It took 5 years for offense to really crack the turtle style though, and if you remove the fear of K groove rage and random activates, only the most elite players are capable of rushdown in CvS2. It is not a rushdown game.
Two of the best grooves lack short jump (C and A), and K lacks roll.
