You might want to check the lineup for final round next year. 
God, you threw a damn fit just because I told the truth.
Anyway, I don’t see marvel dying anytime soon. The casual scene is starting to get bigger.
As long as people play capcom games, I can see marvel being played in tournies.
This is like final round first time throwing it and FR is a major,doesnt change the fact that just about every local SE tournament you see dont even throw smash.
THrow a fit? You smash players throw a fit when people say smash isnt a fighting game and that the majority of post on srk I see people are bashing it Which is a fact.
Oh you make it sound like smash is going to have the most players on lineup? Smash going to be down there in the corner where SC3.lol
I’m not a smash player. -_- I’m not saying smash is good. I never said it was going to get the biggest turnout at FR. (I think it will, however, but whatever, I never thought smash was a tourney veered game) I only said it’s the most played fighting game (I’m not debating on whether or not it is, because my view on that was finalized years ago) in the SE region. You JUST ADMITTED a few posts back that it gets huge turnouts. It does at MLG. It did at EVO. It will at FR.
More: I shat on the idea of smash being played competitivly for years fyi. It recently proved itself to me after I’ve watched it and actually took the time to pay attention to it.
Look, you’ve been completely wrong on several items, or maybe I have, whatever, I do not care about smash. I do not care about this arguement, nor do I care about you. This isn’t about smash. This is the MARVEL forum, take this shit to smash boards, I’m done talking about it.
smash is seen as a serious fighting game now a days for people who arent so narrow minded as sinnish. You can’t deny that its taken seriously when a local turnout can have about 100+ entries and yes including children as well who are adapting to just about every fighting game there is.
And this entire argument that you and tigerboi are having is stupid, tigerboi didnt state that srk is all about smash, he simply states that smash has a huge turnout and its considered a fighting game to everyone who has witnessed high level play.
Now i play both smash and mvc2, i no longer play smash cause i chose to dedicate the little time i have to play games to marvel because i started it first. But smash is seen as a fighting game but most people think that because little children can excel at it, its not a fighting game.
just to throw it in there it is a well known fact that children under the age of 15 learn a game faster and have no habits to curve therefore making their learning curve small, their brains arent fully developed.
Smash is a hard game to learn and has many deep and advanced techniques to it that its no where near some scrubby 1 dimensional little kid game.
Srk is blatently a capcom based forum and to say anything otherwise is retarted. The reason smash and other fighting games arent held at the same venue except a major is because smash just simply has too large of a turnout to hold it in some small place like fighting game tournaments usually take place, as you can see it was a space and time issue at evo to run smash because it simply had way too many entries. When a local for smash is held, its dedicated to only smash.
I never understood the whole “Little kid” stereotype about Smash.
“OMG, it has mario and pikachu!”
And marvel has fucking Mega-man and Spider-man.
nintendo it self has the little kid family stereotype and it does little, aside from a random game or two, to dissolve that ideal.
Marvel is the best fighting game EVER.
That is all.
I play OG Smash and Marvel. I got into it at school b/c nobody was playin Marvel where I was but there was small, competitive Smash scene. I started off as a hater but it just grew on me.
You can’t deny how balanced the original is. Pretty impressive for Nintendo’s first take on the genre. Every character is playable, there are high level technique’s, infinites, rush, turtling. Item play in that game is better than Melee. I can never understand not playing with items though; thats the whole game right there-- adapting instantly to whatever randomness throws at you. I have never played anything with a deeper level of mind games than Smash 64, 4 Life, all items on.
Smash = Marvel Jr.
Smash is a party game. Any SRK’er that takes it seriously and feels he has to defend himself doesn’t. Smash sucks. The end.
That made no sense.
I was talking to one of my smash homeys re: marvel, and he brought up a good point about smash as a “party game”:
I lol’d
So much randomness that you can start to confuse factors outside the game.
marvel=crack
smash=good acid
Lies :tdown:
Overheard last Evo East:
A: "What is that nintendo shit?"
B: “Nah that’s tight, Marvel Jr.”
in regards to Smash 64 set up right next to the back corner marvel spot.
It’s w/e though. I play marvel and smash for different reasons. Marvel for hype and becasue it rewards execution so highly, smash b/c it rewards smart play, adaptation to the environments, and mind games. I don’t wanna add to the flame war, though, so it’s all good.
I have no idea why in the world smash would be called marvel junior. Perhaps because they’re both hella unblanced, have gltiches that translate into high level techniques and are both hard as hell?
Well then, byt that same logic, CvS2 is marvels brother.
:rfol::
yeah i guess its flawed logic. it sounded good at the time…

-Most of the Smash tournaments with 100 participants or otherwise noteworthy (EVO, Midwest championship). I didn’t even look for tournaments that had between 25-75 players, if I had to guess I’d pin the number country wide at around 100 different tournaments.
the smash hate is really unfounded, espcially when it gets so many competitors
Idk, Its not that America doesn’t take games seriously. Its just that Marvel isn’t mainstream. Look at Halo and CS. They have been around and will continue to be around because of their originality and their mainstream status. I’ve heard people say watching matches on MLG made them want to practice harder and get better. I bet if people say top players playing Marvel at an event they would be like damn whats that?
I even know people who started playing CS because they say GX3 (Girls Got Game) on MTV playing at the ESWC in Paris. The other thing that drives these games is of course the multi player. Anytime day or night you can sign in on Xbox Live and play as many people of all skill levels as you want. Same with Counter-Strike.
The problem with Marvel is only people in this community REALLY know about it. Alot of new people are just like me and stuck just practicing by myself which gets boring. And playing against the computer gets just as boring even when I do start learning new stuff because its like ok now what? Theres not a ton of Marvel players here. I have to wait till school to play people. If it had multi player for Xbox360 or PS3 that wouldn’t be an issue. I mean I keep hearing people complain about their being lag but if Marvel came out online they would be the first in line to get it just like I would.
A televised Evo and an online version of Marvel… maybe Evo should call out CGI or something. That would tight. I mean I love all the players there and I had fun going but as far as Tekken and all that goes, I’ve seen way crazier stuff on Evo dvds and clips. It would be interesting. :lovin:
idk if I said something someone else said so sorry if I did
Amen Amen.
Theres pretty much only like 5 Marvel players here in Reno who don’t even play anymore so I’m pretty much stuck playing the computer or on training mode. I used to have one friend who played but he didn’t own the game so I eventually just started winning every time and it got boring playing with him.
I’m trying to see if one dude named Koogy would want to start a little revival with me. But other than that, I’ll be moving to Vegas in a couple years so hopefully I can get some competition then!
this is why its good to play multiple game even if you’re mediocre @ them. You can jump between games and try to recruit other players who seem like they might have some talent to play marvel. Other serious players who play different games always have a since of pride and competition. Just be like, “hey, if I beat you 30 times in a row @ your best game, you gotta play some marvel” and draw them in like that.
I started off as a 3s player and I always said marvel was shit garbage and never knew why people played a broken ass game. 2 years later, I don’t play 3s anymore and I play marvel on the regular. Funny how things change.
