How come JoJo Bizzare Adventure and the Darkstalker series aren't tourny worthy?

Well expect Jojo’s to get more popular come April 2005. It will finally be seeing a Western release through Viz comics and people will be treating it as though it never existed before 2005. -_-

I hope the Jojo game gets the attention it deserves. It’s system is probably the most complex out of all the Capcom 2d fighters though.

And I might add in

why isn’t KOF 2K3 at Evo?
why isn’t Fatal Fury MOTW at Evo?
why isn’t Samurai Showdown special at Evo?
why isn’t MK:D at Evo?
why isn’t SVC at Evo?
why isn’t DOA at Evo?

(Ok so the last 3 are jsut silly but the first 3 are worthy)

Do you mean that they can’t include everything at tournaments?

No because as well all know tournaments always have every fighting game known to man at them. :rolleyes:

Well I was only using ‘everything’ in relation to your post because you listed a lot of games that weren’t included. But thanks for taking it to the extreme.
Maybe you are a little upset that some of your favourite games aren’t given deserved attention either? That’s fine.

Well, from my avatar you should know how i feel about Jojo, but… No way its going to sell in the US. Its going to be cancelled by volume 3, i bet.

DOA is tight, don’t hate.

Time stop is probably right. Just have to settle for slow scanlations

You reckon? I just assumed it would sell because it was popular in Japan, and Europe as well I think. Also it’s probably closer to Super Hero comics than other manga that have become popular, so it may do well. ?

No. I was just saying (that at least in my last post) that there are a lot off good games that are not there. EVO I think does a pretty good job of picking some very entertaining games but they have to draw the line somewhere and leave some things off. Would I like to see some of the games I listed at EVO? Absolutely. Will I cry over them not being there? No because I know that it is impossible to have everything there.

Arakis anatomy and perspective is too over-the-top (sometimes literally “wrong”), most people dismiss it as “ugly” right away.

Plus series 1, 2, 4, 6 and SBR are not commercial at all. Only Series 3 and 5 are actually commercially viable… Add the fact its pretty homo-erotic, and you have “failure” written out all over it.

I hope im wrong, but i dont think so.

I still want japanese Perfect Editions, though.

To true. From what I’ve been reading about EVO, doesn’t it take like 2 days to hold the whole thing? Adding a whole lot more of other games would make it take even longer. The staff that run the whole thing would be exahusted unless they held some kind of half time. I’ve never been so I don’t know how it goes you know. But it sounds like a lot of work. Maybe they should do some kind of web based vote to decide what kind of games they have. I know they can get a couple of Saturn and DC owners together to make getting the games easier. I don’t know. Lets just hope that “Capcom Fighting Evolution” doesn’t see it’s way into EVO.

When people don’t play the game here at a high level it appears balanced, but it’s a illusion IMO. High level play is unbalanced by nature, to me saying that VS is balanced and better is just saying there aren’t enough people playing it.

The key is to stop talking getting more players like its not under our control, and actually get the word out. And NOT by tricking them by saying it’s so much better than every other game out there and that they can do whatever they want and win, but by being a honest resource for people looking for a alternative game to what’s out there.

But I don’t see the big deal about a game being tournament worthy, we’ve taken a discussion about “What the cannons personally chose at their section of evo” and turned it into some crazy global rule. Maybe I don’t speak for people involved in other tournaments, but i can say WRT ours, I DON’T CARE WHAT IS THERE. As long as there is time to do it, and space, and someone to run it, why do i care?

I don’t see what everyone is talking about, part of the point we’ve been working on this console revolution is so we have those options, the games ARE becoming in the players hands, if you feel you have the commitment to learn how to organize and run a game, then go do it. Make a post tommorow saying your running jojo’s at evo, mkd, karate champ, who cares, just do it.

Now those criteria do apply to other things, for instance any equipment we get goes to what i consider the ‘main’ games, and that criteria is where we talk about the scene and the players etc… The reason that the minor games weren’t present AT ALL, were because resources were limited, mainly because of arcade cabinets and location, now we don’t have those challenges so we don’t need to exclude anything if we don’t want to.

IMO where we could do better in having a better tournament structure, one that better accomodates all the games people want to run while keeping things organized and on time (SF translation: less than 3 hours behind).

jOjO isnt complex, is retardly broken.
on a side note i think if arc1-3 come out in america they could sell…

Jojo is a very complex game.

JoJo is one of my favorite anime… until it dragged way too long

I loved JoJo like… 4 years ago. it was very unique and had a fun system. unfortunately it was never popular, and if you havnt seen the Meikyousisui’s JoJo combo DVD preview, has many infinites that do huge damage. I dont really know too much about the game complexly though. Is Dio or Shadow Dio top tier? those two were my favorite.

Do you have any idea how hard those infinites are to do? I don’t even think they’re possible without a programmable pad.

oh ok i supposed that u said it makes it one :rolleyes: whatevea.
BTW RN:
the inf shown on that video arnt the problem, the problem arises at glitch points like: dio knocks u down, u lose 65%+ life most of the top tier are so clear cut above everyone else its not even worth playing.
