Probably. But by Capcom games you mean a Capcom game. Marvel gets viewers but ain’t nobody plays it, and SFxT died the same way Injustice did. Mostly because for 09ers it’s the only FG they’ve ever known and change is scary ;).
I don’t see how relevance matters that much for enjoyment of a game. Especially for someone who’s bad at them!
Melee didn’t have relevance in that sense for years and look at them now…
Ohohoh and look at Sonicfox. He gets first place in evvvery non-Capcom game pretty much. 17 year old kid must be making a lot more than 99.99% of people playing “relevant” games.
man you really take this stuff to heart haha, i don’t like the idea of a back button… and you go off onto a butthurt rant about it. Who cares? opinions differ.
And opinions require knowledge to be worth anything ;).
Edit: was Melee getting over 1000 people entered into tournaments 6 months before the tournament in the past? That’s the kind of relevance I assumed we were talking about.
If not then UMK3 has always been “relevant” but I don’t think that matters much to what Josh was talking about.
And I wasn’t ‘butt-hurt’ about the block button opinion. I was annoyed that it was the third time someone asked within a couple weeks. I’ve said lots people are welcome to not like block buttons. I was responding to the relevance thing.
no, melee was not seeing record-setting tournament numbers that the most popular fighting game of all time had only started to see within the last few years
but it was seeing majors in the many hundreds even as far back as 2002, and stayed very popular until brawl was released in 2008, then it saw a drop-off and once people realized brawl wasn’t a good competitive game, many of them came back to melee, and now it’s seen a resurgence
“relevance” means “among the most popular games played by people who like the genre”, and melee was always relevant to smashers
Which you never did anyways because you suck shit and fall for it every single time. I don’t make any apologies for using whiff hand into ultra. Even Snake Eyez does it sometimes. It’s a legit tactic that works on fools~
You’re so smart, you obviously saw it coming, why didn’t you avoid it? Is eating my ultra part of your metagame?
Yaaaayyy Ryu’s gonna be in a comic with Sonic and Megaman and NiGHTS and Viewtiful Joe and that one chick from Legendary Wings (I think that’s what she’s from?)
Yeah they’ve been making the Sonic comic for about 20 years now and got the rights to make a Megaman comic fairly recently so they decided to mash them all up.
