A couple of days ago I opened up a thread asking people if they thought 3s Gouki could ever win a major tournament in the U.S. While the overwhelming response was somewhat optimistic, I was left with the impression that most people doubted heavilly it could happen, and that it could never happen at the biggest stages such as EVO or SBO. I tried remaining optimistic, tried to convince myself that other characters really could win at a big stage, but just a while ago it hit me how shitty all of this really is. Im just sick of it, Im sick of waiting every year to watch an EVO or SBO to see the same 3 characters in SF3 duel it out for the top spot. Im sick and tired of seeing the exact same play styles and the same bullshit all the time. Everytime you always see a Chun-Li turtle out a Ken, or watch a Ken rushdown a Chun, or watch Yun beat them both down with the same Genei shit. Or in Tekken always having to watch Jin vs. Chang, or always having to see the same top tier teams in MvC2. It’s a shitty balancing job and I don’t buy this crap that it’s impossible to totally balance a game, or at the very least make it so that every character has the moves necessary to win at any event against any other character. I mean let’s look at MvC2. I would seriously punch a Capcom rep if he tried to feed me this shit that they really didn’t notice that cable was over powered. I mean anyone making that game could see clear as day that Cable and the other top tiers are overpowered, and if they couldn’t see it then they are not qualified to make a game, simple as fucking that. It’s very clear to me now that a lot of these companies have become lazy and just wish to ship out a new game anytime they feel like it without spending enough time to balance the game, and it’s truly sad. From now on unless Capcom (and any other company making unbalanced games) decides to make balanced games, then they can blow me because im not standing for this shit. Hell if Soul Calibur, VF4 and GGXX reload can be highly balanced given how much more complex they are in comparison to 3s, then their is no excuse for making sub par balance figting games. Maybe it’s clear to me now why most of the world has moved on to other types of competitive games and left it the fighting games for dead, and their is no one to blame more then the companies who have ruined it with broken fighting games. The Japanese can keep their lazy broken fighting games because ill be playing a lot less fighting games from now on and go join the rest of the world who have evolved with the times.
