Edmonton Thread - 2012

Skullgirls side tourney at EVO means I am absolutely going.

Lost over 1k PP since I started playing SF again

Why am I so bad at fighting games? ;_;

Man Everyone going spencer these days!

Learn Viewtiful Joe!

Zero’s next? speaking of which, I should learn zero…

I tried to learn zero. I suck at combos using the buster lol

You must defeat Shen long’s endless wave to stand a chance!

Street Fighter or Diablo III reference?

GGs sunday i hope all the new blood that came out keeps coming i actually seen alot of new potential…jimmy and owen was a pretty sick set cant believe it went down to last game last character for both honestly couldve gone either way good shit to both of you

in all honesty this is how edmonton goes for top players…keep in mind these r ppl that have proven themselves in front of every1 and not just random speculation i.e dodgermantix

1)bee-cheaper bitch

2)me-cheap bitch

3)mai- plays about half as much as me and we go 50/50 so what does that say about how good he is…(but his team counters my team in every way so that helps him a lil when we ply lol)

4)jones-needs to try and come out more probably the only person i can see that can push bee in terms of skill

5)jimmy-your spencer and especially your hawkeye r fucking scary all u have to do is get a lil betr with wesker you can seriously give me bee and mai alot of trouble

6)owen-stay hungry and keep doing what your doing you probably have the most drive to get better more then any1 else and i respect that

7)shiro-90% of the time you play like a fucking retard but in the other 10% you show flashes of a top player stop doing shiro combos and youd win more

  1. kevin aka captain planet-you do alot of stuff that is rly smart that no1 else does that i notice keep playing you deserve to be ranked higher

and the rest ajin brendy alix, and the 2 new guys from deans tribe they could all easily challenge any1 from jimmy on down honestly no1s safe

I agree. I was playing alix in casuals and he was pulling all these mix ups and unblockables against me. Man, taught me not to underestimate captian america lol. Plus the 2 guys (Andy and Gilchrist) are really good. I can see them only getting better.

Andy - Rocking the Wesker, Doom and Strider team. Very good Synergy and great opportunities for resets and mixups

Gilchrist - That Chris is fucking SWAG. I’m happy to see a good Chris player. Also taught me something about pressure with Spencer. Good stuff. I am now calling your chris “Chris SwagField”

Wow! Dean I play the exact same team as you except without all the shitieness(Ghost Rider)

Firebrand Skrull Doom
Is the team of the future

and it don’t even have spencer in it

Presses back button

Good luck.

Do you have trouble reading? My list was a list of who’s been proven to be better than Owen.

I hope you never see me play - my skill is so far above yours it would make your head explode.

whoa you guys actually talk about marvel in here.
any of you guys play sfxt?

I haven’t played it in weeks.

Edmonton is a Marvel town. The next most popular game is proably kof13 and then ssf4.

I play SFxt. I’m on xbox, my gamertag is the same as my name here.

kk, i’ll add you later. if any of you other etown dudes wanna play sfxt, add me up!
gamertag: Imagine4D

My friend SfxT has nearly died and it has only been a month.
Through a mix of social pressure among the fighting game community(I am sure you yourself will admit that it is hard to find people that enjoy SfxT).
It’s also because the game has stupid stupid mechanics that make it unfun to play.

  1. Tag cancel uppercuts: who needs any obvious comeback mechanics when you have 500 damage reversals/anti airs that you can do off just one bar. The big problem with this is that it encourages defense over offense which discourages a variety of play styles
  2. The focus on runaway: big stages bad timer and raven nuff said. Discourages you from fighting up close which is bad for play style variety
  3. poor poor balance: Rufus and Raven shit on the whole cast (before anyone starts talking about technology study either the Raven/Hugo match up or rufus law match ups and tell how they are not 8/2 for both match ups, hell raven/hugo may even be 9/1)
  4. There is good things in the game. this makes it even worse because the great things are absolutely ruined by the bad stuff.
  5. the ridiculous meter building(you get too much meter when meter does really strong things)
  6. Invincible back dashes, this has been beaten to death in sf4 discussions. It is even worse in Sfxt. Once again this just kills a persons offense when you can just back dash away from their offense any chance you get.
    Finally
  7. Assist Gems have become unmanageable and way too powerful with the release of the dlc varients

Almost every holdout has straight up abandoned the game for good reason. It will most likely stay this way as most of these problems will not be fixed capcom with the exception of the timer which is not even the real problem.

The thing about marvel that makes people stick with it like glue is because it encourages tons of variety in play styles almost everyone that plays it does it in their own unique way. There are many more reasons but you just see a whole lot more variety than in SFxT where defense will win you everything.

Blocking wont save you from firebrand. Nothing will

What are you talking about? There’s no blocking in Marvel in the first place
