So I borrowed this from a friend today, and boy, it felt weird to play. I cant imagine Capcom actually going with a four button layout instead of a six. And I cant yet see how the ratio system worked with tiers. It was innovative, but I could never make a solid team. One thing I like is this games presentation. The industrial/modern interface, music, and levels kind of shit on CvS2’s cartoony presentation, in my opinion. Would have been cool if they just built on CvS1’s visual design. Kind of like SF3 games. The first two were cartoony as hell, and 3S was pretty awesome looking.
Did people play it a lot, or did it go the way of SvC Chaos and CFJ/E and become forgotten after a few months?
I’ve only seen one video for it.
And never played it
The video was Ohnuki vs. Daigo.
Can’t remember what Nuki was using but Daigo was using Guile/Ken
What I saw of it wasn’t too impressive.
Not player wise (obviously) just, the general setting up of the game and how it looked and how I assumed it felt.
Wasn’t it at B5? So i assume people were playing it seriously untill CVS2 came out. I wonder if CVS2 never came out, would people still playing CVS1 today?
I remember playing it all of like three times in the arcade. The problem was there was just better capcom games out at the time so I don’t think people really gave CVS1 that much attention. I liked some things about the game but it felt really slow paced to me.
its was a pretty awesome game when it came out, and the music and stages are nice, people did play this seriusly before cvs2 came out, cause i remember watching vallle and choi match vids.
and the game is pretty good if you know how to play and what your doing.
I knew all the combos in that game for most characters. I really dedicated myself to getting good at it. And I did. Guile/EX Terry forever.
But yeah, it wasn’t well recieved because the game was four buttons and EVERYONE bitched about that. Nakoruru was top tier in that game by leaps and bounds and the Ratio 1 characters were better than the rest of the cast. 4 man teams and R1/1/2(Nak, duh) were the norm back in the day.
and yeah 4 people teams that i destroyed with a ratio 4 sagat
jumping :hk: + land :lk: + :dp: pwned people left and right with that simple combo with R4 sagat:looney: oh and the C. Fierce was godly since this game
uhh cvs1 was shitted on by the majority of SRK, but it had a solid years worth of tourneys before cvs2 came out 1 year later with big #'s for a lot of the major tourneys. dont be fooled into saying noone played this game, because it was played a lot in the USA, but everyone shitted on it. It was at every major (ECC, MWC, the first NEC had it as a major that lasted until 4am, lol) and Norcal (mainly Dangerous Crew - cole/nelson/josh park etc - also choi/ricky) played the game until it’s death at b5. Pretty much most of the hardcore sf players did play cvs1 in tourneys at some point, it’s just not talked about much anymore.
Her pokes and bread 'n butter is what made her pretty damn good. She also had good throw range as well. Her BNB did like, 30% damage. But then again, ANYTHING did good damage in this game.
I actually LIKED SNK Groove in this game. S.fierce(two hits) into lvl3 Buster Wolf and cancel into lvl1 Power Geyser. Of course, Terry has to have his energy bar in the red for this to work. The damage on that was equivalent to c.shortx2, c.roundhouse -> ShinShoryuken with Ryu, which is basically 85% damage.
And let’s not forget the range on ShinShoryuken. It was pretty instant. And it ment doom if you got caught with that shit. Kim was also good in this game.
I still want to catch someone with the Benimaru glitch. :sad:
CvS2 announcer > CvS1 announcer. The music was MUCH better in CvS1, though. Sagat’s stage was too hype. Damn, time to upload that shit back onto the iPod.
C.fierce was NOT godly in CvS1. If you threw R4 Sagat against R1/1/Nak, you were GOING to die. Guaranteed. That, and the fact that you would eventually face Blanka/Benimaru/King/Yuri teams, meant doom also.
I also like my Guile/EX Terry team over your R4 Sagat. =p
yeah people did play this game seriusly, i never thought it was a bad game, it was actually fun, a the good ol times, we had lots of competition back then at our local Titl Arcade in Portland Oregon:wink: those were good times i tell ya…:sad:
Well, at first, everyone was dicking around with all of the characters. Like, I used to play against this AWESOME Geese player whose reaction time was fucking rediculous. He’d pull out psychic counters out of NOWHERE. There were only a few people that stuck with R2/2 and R3/1 teams. And as time went by and everyone exposed everything, it came down to R1/1/Nak or R1/1/1/1 teams.
And sadly enough, the R1 characters were below Nak, but above the other characters. Like, who knew King was actually good in that game? And most of the SNK characters were hella toned down in that game. That was another thing about the game that everyone disliked: nerfed SNK characters. None of the SNK characters had their entire movelists from KOF/FF and that really upset a lot of the SNK crowd. So, you basically had to use EX characters in order to use that one move that was ACTUALLY good. Example: EX Terry had Power Dunk(awesome anti-air in this game, much slower and shittier in CvS2) and close distance fireball(also anti-air).
Gouki’s was damn good, too. I always loved fighting on his stage. So hype. I miss this game. :sad:
I think I’m gonna play it tonight since I can’t Paint Fence for some reason this week. My wrist/hand just went dead on me.
Sagat was mediocre. I can never tell a lie. Some kid tried running Riot of the Blood Iori on me and I raped him for free. Strength came in numbers when it came to CvS1.
Also, Ratio Match was a cool glitch in the game. I remember discovering that and then it was published in the following issue of Tips and Tricks magazine. I felt so sad. :sad:
Hold start, two punches up until groove select screen. FUCK! Why do I remember so much about this game?
The game was played at B5. Chikyuu Sodom won using a combination of King, Sakura and Raiden. Jason Nelson came in 2nd using Guile, Rog and Ryo (only once I think).
The rounds in this game lasted way too long. And watching four ratios 1s vs another four ratios 1s could take 10 minutes.
Also Ratio 3s never saw any play at all. The characters were decent, but the life differences between a ratio 3 and 3 ratio 1s was too much in favor of the ratio 1s.
And yeah Nakoruru was top tier. She ate up all of the ratio 1s fairly easily, and her only problem match was vs Guile.
I think the game is best played in pair-match mode (accessed using a code and every character is a ratio 2). At least then there is a lot more variety and the ratio 3s actually saw some play.
