Is XvSF Competitively Playable?

Resets are not really an asset in XSF. Why reset when you can just kill with infinite? It’s more risk for, at best, equal reward.

I made this point about 3 times already, as did DogFace, but some people just do not get it.

Voluntarily end your combo in the hopes of starting another one, or just keep doing your combo forever and kill them for free - tough choice!

In MVC2 with undizzies, multiple partners healing in the background and severe damage scaling it makes sense to reset in some situations. In XSF there are no undizzies, not much damage scaling and partners healing in the background over time is mostly irrelevant.

Resets are basically for fun only, like the time I played Alpha 1 using one hand.

I was giving storms options. She’s the best character in the game because NO ONE IS FASTER nor harder to fight at the same time. She can pop up an infinite for any where on the screen at just about any time. She’s faster than Mags and wolv. She can shut down cyc chun cant catch her. she just has more going for her than most

And margali, you can say your shit over and over again until your blue in the face, I didn’t say the only reason she’s better is because of resets. Obviously I know that resets mean shit in this game useless you like flash. But it is an option she has that some characters don’t so that?s why i mentioned it.

actually, i often go for throw resets cause throw super is a significantly faster kill than just finishing an infinite. it’s a significant amount of life that i’d rather not have to chip away when the second character comes back in.

it does remind me though. there’s a whole game in switching your character in.

and no, i’m not talking about short forward sweep switch. that will get you fucked against any opponent who knows how to roll.

often times you’ll try and throw reset a character at the end of your infinite/combo so you can double team and switch your characters safely.

other times it’s safe to reversal/random double team. this leads to mind games. I’ve seen 1hitcombo with charlie/wolvie double team, then weapon X his opponent when his opponent fierces charlie to keep wolverine in.

LMX does a nice trick of baiting out your counter attack on the second character then switching him in anyway as soon as you knock him out.

let’s not forget anti air double team for hard to block cross up supers.

there’s an art to managing your character life totals, which strangely enough is actually reasonably important. the whole game is about infinites, but good players won’t be getting hit by them often meaning that there’ll be a lot of poke damage, chip damage and supers going around. especially if you’re fighting someone like gambit, cammy, chun li or charlie. managing your life totals makes a huge difference.

you guys are all losers.
