Is XvSF Competitively Playable?

sry i know this is offtopic but i was just lurking this thread and found this:

sweet, didnt know that. is there a vid online that shows the timing?

capcom can run under hsf if time properly. I think it has to come from a DHC but I’m not sure.

W/e, I’ll beast DogFace…clearly he doesn’t play this game seriously since he thinks it’s a joke too. I’ll beast you too margalis. Scrubs don’t have an opinion on xvsf period. Bet it or stfu.:smokin:

MM at T8. GRUGDE MATCH any amount!!

Considering that I last played XSF in 1999 or so I don’t doubt it one bit. LOL.

… Wow. How the hell did you manage to miss the point so completely? I could just copy and paste my entire last post and everything would apply to what you just said.

If YOU think this thread has reached its conclusion, then feel free to leave. Why are you struggling so much with this simple concept? I guarantee you that your grumpy spiteful comments won’t be missed.

One last time: You don’t get to decide whether people discuss XSF here or in another subforum, nor do you get to decide how many XSF threads stay active at any given time. You got to voice your opinion. That’s all you’re owed.

margalis is a politician, not a player. :looney:

He’s certainly a strange kid. Who goes on and on talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, debaiting with people who’ve told him to fuck off in more than one way

Actually he’s not a kid. He’s definetely older than all of us and I remember him posting on agsf2 etc. That’s why I call him a politician - he might be interested in the games and the SF community in general - but he doesnt play anymore to the best of my knowledge.

Margalis is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of xmen politics. Except he’s probably older, skinnier/fatter, and can’t come up with witty lines like “Screw you” while doing a drill claw with wolverine…

I certainly don’t play competitively any more, mostly because of schedule and the fact that there simply aren’t any arcades around any more. I still play fighting games but I won’t claim to be anything other than a scrub these days.

Anyway I don’t think it is wrong to point out that there is an active XSF thread already in progress. Sure you can have two but why bother? There hasn’t been any real gameplay discussion in this thread at all. This thread is one big retard slap fight.

Edit: JChensor is older than me anyway. I’ll always be young compared to him.

Anyway, i have a question for people who play XSF a lot right now. I’ve heard people say that XSF is really balanced for lots of reasons, and i’ve also heard people say that Storm is in a tier of her own. So … which is it?

It’s very balanced although very broken at the same time, I really don’t think Storm is in the tier of her own at all, sure she’s top tier but i wouldn’t say shes far ahead Wolv, Cyc, Charlie, Gambit, Chun and Magneto.

eeeh I’m going to disagree with ya there Mike. Storm has alot going for her in xvsf. I’d say she’s got to be the only character who can put every one to sleep with resets and make them look more pretty than mags p

I personally feel that XSF is really broken. The slowness of recovering after specials for certain characters (like Gambit). The way certain combos can be pulled off (that was obviously fixed in MSHvsSF and so on). Hell, the health bar is what really bugs me; even on low damage the thing just flies as you get hit. That’s my piece.

if you dont like a game then fine dont play it no one is forcing you to play.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about laggy specials.

gambit can magic series -> kinetic card -> jab cajun slash.

it’s pretty much free against everyone but chun li, and ends in a knockdown if anything hits.

Gambit can even get away with jab cajun slash jab cajun slash in a lot of situations.

part of the reason gambit is so good is because of his next to know recovery on jab cajun slash. it’s the longest ranged poke in the game.

what are you talking about? I play this game every day.

It’s like you’re just desperately digging for somethin to post…

I’ve seen Pilnoy’s Gambit lock people down like that…but alot of character can punish cajun slash: Ryu (Air hyper viper shinku) from close range, chun & juggs from half screen, wolverine barage x can punish from close range, akuma & ken shoryureppa from close range, bison close range air hyper viper crusher, dhalsim from close range (inferno), charlie (summer sault justice) from close range

Kenetic card is really hard to reversal punish unless you have a really fast super and are in close range

Ah, excuse me. I meant to say supers, not specials. His QCF + any punch super has a recovery delay that was noticably taken out of later vs games.
