I think you need this correction. Bry had to leave and didn’t play grand finals, and it was Nam vs WB in losers finals…so I don’t think Jamie could’ve placed second.
Thanks to Justin for hosting a great day of gaming goodness.
Good games everyone.
Jiggabry would’ve won 3S if he didn’t have to leave.
And I need to stick with one character instead of playing everyone; that’s my biggest downfall.
Justin’s saying Hamilton should play more MvC2.
I say Sauga should play more 3S.
They’re already competent at the game, so if we had more gaming sessions like these, hopefully we can give the TO players some kind of challenge in the near future.
I’m telling ya, it’s not hard to learn 3S at all.
You don’t need years of practice to get good in 3S, like you do in games like MvC2.
My reason is that the game’s basic mechanics and format is more similar to the older SF games, unlike in the VS games (especially MvC2) where you have to basically learn everything from scratch again (because it’s so different from the standard fighters).
The biggest addition in 3S is the parry system, that’s it.
And if you keep that in mind while playing “old school” style, which consists of footsies and zoning that everyone is oh so familar with in the older games, you should do fine.
Anway, my point is:
Going from 3S to MvC2 at a decent level: Harder
Going from MvC2 to 3S at a decent level: much much easier.
I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking aboot, btw.
I kind of agree. I think its very hard to get to a decent level in MvC2, simply because there are so many little subtle tricks in the game that you need to know before you can stand much of a chance at higher level… but then again, 3S at an advanced level (at least I think) is very, very hard. But also, if you’re using sauga as a comparison for 3S vs. Marvel learning curve, you need to remember that Sauga (well… me/bry/matt) used to play 3S at almost every casual when we got bored of MvC2/CvS2 and that we would still join every tournament we could.
