It’s all good. I didn’t mean you really. CT has just never been big on Tekken so I don’t expect too many people to stick to it. I will say that TTT2 looks pretty sweet right now though.
Blue9 - If the practice mode sucks I any fighting games, it automatically sucks to me. Sp I’m not playing that game no matter how good its suppose to be.

18:02-18:50. Hilarious.
Thank you for further expressing my point. Their life cycles are longer. That was the point I was making, hamster brain. 
lol.
I GUARANTEE you that you’d whine about :
CVS2 : High tiers, A-groove, RC
Third Strike : High tiers, low parry/cr.mk into super, kara-throws
ST : High tiers, throws, ToD
MVC2 : High tiers, infinites, tri-jumps
And then you’d complain that games have been going downhill since pitfall.
Are there any fighting games you actually enjoy playing and don’t run to the forums to complain about?
That was one of your points, but you also said:
So, I’ll be presumptuous and say, Bobbypigo was pointing out that those games still have tournaments and are still played… but people all around the world and in this thread still play the new games.
Don’t disregard this like you do all my other messages when I take the time to read and respond to some of your posts in this thread. Just take the time to explain the inconsistencies in your arguments. And I just want facts, not opinions. I hate opinions.
^^^ Tom, logic will never work with this guy. Never.
Logic is overpowered. True gamers use “nonsense”. It’s a lower tier but it’s fun.
that has to be the worst thing ever when; everybody has to be wrong for you to be right and even than there’s a chance your right opinion could be wrong if someone activates X-factor lv3
lol wtf is auto pilot?
I just play the game. 
After just going through Nerd Josh’s Facebook photo archive, I have come to the conclusion that he is in fact ruggedly handsome.
Stalker.
I havent picked up TTT2 to even drop it yet cause last i checked it wasnt even out… and yes all of those “older” games you listed have similar shenanegans to the “newer” ones. Just different. DJ You complain level 3 xfactor is cheap, how about losing a match in ST in less than 10 seconds because of a ToD?? You would have a field day complaining about that one.
josh has a mean jew fro but hes still the man
Well seems like monitors have been ordered, this Sunday should be the last time I should have to ask for equipment to be brought.
There is some truth in what you said, but I see it differently overall.
Sure, people can choose to just just abuse the information on the internet, but really, that’s their fault, not the fault of technology. Sometimes, when I’m learning a character and/or game, I purposefully don’t look at information on the internet just so that I can see what I come up with without outside influence. And even at the point that someone does look up info online, that doesn’t mean they’re going to auto-pilot. It might be harder to think for yourself these days, but it is far from impossible.
The specific strategies that you mentioned in regards to newer games are strong, but they are not the “be all end all”. Sure, down-backing is very good in the Street Fighter IV series, but there are so many other things to know and do. And sure, having character chemistry and planning a good offense are important in Marvel, but there are a lot of other important things in that game as well. You have to know how to block, learn to adapt, understand matchups, and so on. What’s the problem, really? Different games have varying points of focus. I’m fine with that.
Also, I appreciate how good a lot of old fighters are, but the biggest difference is that they’re harder. My favorite fighter is GGXXAC, and I wish more people were playing it, but I can say that I honestly enjoy the new games too. Some of the old school games that you mentioned are still played, actually, and even if they were all played, I don’t think I’d drop these new games entirely for them, nor do I think everyone else would.
There are cheap things in all of these games. The newer games are just easier to exploit, at least early on. At a point, it doesn’t matter all that much, as it’s possible to adapt to that sort of thing. In the end, the newer games have plenty of depth as well.
As for the “life cycle”…sure, the number of players will spike when a game is brand new and then decrease, but most of the newer games that you mentioned are still very much alive, and I think they will continue to be played. I guess we’ll see.
Again, there is some truth in what you said, but if you really see my points, the conclusion is not bad, really. There will be more interest in the games, as it’s easier for people to get into them, and so the scene can stay alive. I suppose there’s a sacrifice to be made, but if you look at the alternative, I think it’s worthwhile. It just might take more effort to get past initial strong points in the games and perhaps to see and appreciate the depth in them. I can deal with that.
And on the topic of difficulty…yes, the games are easier overall, but at least on the personal level, there are more difficult options as far as characters, combos, and other things, and they can be worthwhile.
Oh, and on a side note, I definitely called that a lot of people would play Juri and then drop her pretty quickly…haha. But I’ve been playing her since before the game was even officially released, and I still main her.
Enough talk, though. LET’S PRESS BUTTONS, people.
Yeah, the MK practice mode is definitely lacking. No random block setting or record feature. But it’s possible to get by with out it, and hopefully they will implement that. I definitely plan on bringing it up. I think you’d like the game, man. Why not give it a go anyway?
So. I’m going to say this and no one will probably believe me. In AE I’m playing Yang for his chef alt. I know yun and fuerte have chef alts but being a chef myself I have learned to hate the fucking chef hat. When I first saw that alt I decided on Yang before I even knew how he played or that he was in SF3. I play Fri now because I enjoy rushdown and moves like his rekkas. So naturally Yang is a good progression. That is all. You guys are awesome and I’m glad to be a part of the CT scene*. Stay cool gentlemen.
One last note: tiers don’t mean shit. Just saiyan.
i gotta stop not coming to this thread
You should ask your financial planning dad
Wouldnt you want a game to be accessable? Wouldnt that help the overall development of that game?
On another note, ECT. So far I have Sho +3, Raion, and Walter to go in on a caravan. I would like to get a group caravan so im not the only one driving, as I only have so much room in my car. Just sayin.
So I officially declare that I am free at MvC3
