Is XvSF Competitively Playable?

Because it hurts to look directly at it.

Seriously though, people who play Marvel series prefer to have a certain degree of freedom. MSF is by far the most limited game of the Marvel series. Too many rules and restrictions. It just doesn’t let you do anything fun. After playing XSF, every character in MSF feels weak in comparison. Even though MvC2 eliminated a lot of broken shit from earlier Marvel games, it gives the player lots of buff new toys to play with like super cancels and DHC’s and 156 assists.

Nobody wants to play Batman Begins after playing God of War.

To further emphasize Majestros’s point, OH and Wolvie are too fucking broke and run the game, (in MSF) especially with wolvie and speedup super. Personally I really really love this game though beacuse it’s one of the few marvels to play like SF, which is GREAT for me. Plus I have a soft spot for this game because I Played it so heavily during my scrub days lol. But yeah, Majestros’s description is pretty accurate.

and mixup how could anyone be a scrub at xsf (that plays marvel 2?) i mean yeah you have to relearn setups for sure, but this game has more of a mvc2 feel to it than anything. and i use the term scrub subjectively. mvc2 players should be right at home once they get used to the subtle changes in the game. its not something like mvc1 or msf where the engine is radically changed to the point where you would have to relearn the game completely.

dogface needs to post more in this thread. I mean Shiro is the homie and all but dog-face is very…how can I say it…eloquent. Noone hates him so he can convince anyone to play this game…lol. I mean, he even got my ass to drop 5 bucks at evo to join the brokenness :looney:

I agree with you completely homie, i just suck cuz i only get to play on my friends saturn once every few months or so. gambit/charlie is pretty fun.

my biggest hurdle to get past is adjusting to the tech on throws.

I’ve been thinkin about getting an x-box and putting some quality mame fighters on there.

I was fucking stunned when i saw the set-up you guys were running…

3000+?!?!?!

I’m hoping you can make it out to fr and show me some broken mvc1 boshit:lovin: :wgrin:

As for dog-face, fuck posting, that fool is writing poetry

Who the hell is OH? Is that supposed to be OR or am I totally forgetting a character?

The problem people have with MvsSF is if you have say Dan vs. Chun the game plays more like SF than a Marvel game. I mean all Dan does is walk up and try to poke with low forward, maybe an occasional stand forward, and all Chun does is low forward over and over again. That’s the entire battle at least until someone gets launched, knocked over or comboed - which never happens unless someone really screws up.

The game is slow, the combo system is limited. Everything just feels bogged down.

And keep in mind I like MvSF. (Mostly because I annoy people winning via timeout with BH when all 4 characters are still alive)

It also has some really really bad matchups that are just no fun at all to play. Like Zangief vs. Cyclops where Cyclops basically basically needs 3 moves to win unless Zangief outplays him 5 to 1.

Im guessing OH = Omega Red

just tweak the engine so that after maybe 25 hits, combos start giving you life. presto.

It’s not that simple. Storm’s infinite is a whole bunch of fierces. She does a lot of damage in 25 hits. Other characters need way more hits to do the same damage. Also, some characters have dizzy combos which reset the combo counter in less than 25 hits. Also, some supers do more than 25 hits.

It’d be fucking hilarious to see that happen. Imagen doing a rom infiinte or w/e thinking your going to kill the guy then you combo ito tempest and BOOM you give him just about all hist health back. thats be funny as hell.

But would totally crush your spirits. I hope a fighting game never does anything like that.

Omega Hred?

Orange Hulk?

haha… well i was originally thinking more along the lines of just damage scaling, but that still leaves TIME OVER death to deal with. i wouldn’t change the damage Storm does… it just opens up a barrel of worms on who gets tweaked next, and where to draw the line.

geez i meant omega red guys, sorry :looney:

Nah wasn’t thinking Omega Hred, just guessed it because i knew he is 2nd best character and i thought OH is just the sound of O for Omega.

I assumed Omega Red, because Omega Red is good and starts with O…but OR is not on the same level as Wolverine, not even close.

I disagree, OR can fight Wolvie and win, they are both on the highest tier in the game. It’s quite hard for Wolvie to get in on Omega, his ground/antiair game is too strong. not free for either side at all.

art you don’t play this shit like OTTAWA PLAYS DIS SHIT!!!
get off me, you better eye it down a bit son!

all i do is play xvsf with the canadian champs, and i think i’ve changed my mind. you can still win with wolvie and charlie/clops/…gambit or someone like that.
plus, 3 button dashing adds balance imo cause people fuck up a lot.

yo, you can’t beat us

…dogface commentating during mvc2@ffa>HBO…that kinsuu knowledge was to beastly.

let the champ handle this, i also grew up on this game:looney:
yo, OR/H has the nastiest jab there is, fucking owns the wolf. plus you can do the underground tentacles(low.rh???)and cancel to helper FTMFW!!!..plus wolf doesn’t have a good divekick, so once he is in, you have pretty good chances to get out…unless he does super speed and kills you.
but what’s really good with SPIDER-MAN???.. he ownz OR/H

Whether I can beat you ore not is irrevalent (I can’t.) I don’t practice. I just interested in the discussion. 3button dashing = balance? I know canadian bud is good shit and all, but… :confused:

you should never use underground tentacles against wolvie or spidey
and armored spiderman vs omega is like 5.5/4.5 armored spidey
could go either way and only armored spidey has a chance because of superarmor

basically your only chance to win in this fight is to trade or try to beat out omega’s low strong -> omega strike combo, and you have to rely with trading off his low strong to make him frustrated enough to get his devense lower. cause u are still not seeing him air to to air or air to ground to ground, low fwd into juice combo is too strong and annoying as fuck.

MSF is agame i almost feel as confident as I do with mvc1 :looney:

what in the fuck is going on here. . . Who cares about MSH.

This is a dumb question, but does regular Spider-Man have any advantages over armored Spider-Man in MSF?
