I guess you don’t know shit about the xvsf scene in Canada to begin with. Only someone who is ignorant as you would go and say such a stupid thing as that.
For one we get 16 entries here in Edmonton on average. SOrry to be the guy to tell you this but thats a pretty decent scene for one city. When I was IN ottawa 20 of the people who enterd the small xvsf tourney were from Ottawa. OH SHIT WTF IS THAT SCENE nah its just dead no one plays it.
You also don’t know a fucking thing about the players in your own city. (but you don’t leave your house to begin with so what does that matter)
Go back and pretend your kaillera mvc1 wins count you dumb cunt
preach on =p
Looking forward to seeing some matches soon
LIES!!! Toxy ftw
All I can say is, if we are seeing more and more xvsf ranbats/tournaments all over the place, with more and more people entering it all the time. Why would’t it be a competitive game? I mean sure people who don’t play the game can sit there and speculate or assume things about the game and how the scene is. But if you arnt active in the scene and you don’t really know any thing about the game (beyond infinites are to easy or w/e) then I fail to see a reason in just simply saying the games dead and no one plays it.
PS. T-kimura is a wrothless piece of shit. He plays Mvc1 online and says shit like I’m going to bed now I’m tierd of owning or some childish shit like that. He also is in love with tom willing. He also Looks liek Link… If link gave hand jobs for crack.
Very interesting discussion indeed. I have the game too. But, for some reason, I’ve never really gotten that extra push to play because there really isn’t a scene for it in NYC. Although I haven’t been to CF in a while, they have a cabinet there now and I don’t know if it get’s play.
Also, Shiro invited me to T8 for some XvSF. I still have the vids and FAQ he sent me. Thank you for that Shiro. But, yeah, maybe I will get into it.
1: Give me that ship in your post count!
2: If I catch you at T8, there will be xvsf
3: I’m playign sabin some mvc1 so we might as well have some games on that shit.
Now I don’t play XvSF too much cause there’s no comp here, but I DO agree on what you said about any game being playable for competition.
Now here’s my 2 cents even though no one will care probably.
Everyone seems to treat XvSF as casual fest, now that I can understand sucks cause the games I love get that type of treatment as well. Since in my area being NorCal no one even touches XvSF or any of the other underated (kofxi, gg, arcana heart, NGBC,MBAC ect.) games case they feel that shit is either broken or just for casual fun.
Now what’s worst too is the comp in my section of NorCal only plays on arcades and our arcades don’t wanna get those types of games. So it’s really hard to always try to get new cats in the game all the time. I do feel though IF people would get over the so called Brokeness/it’s due to the company sucking or that game is too flashy looks anime BS we’d get alot of comp in some of the old and new games of the scene imo.
It’s just imo everyone seems to be ignorant before trying to look at the game at High Level comp. I’ve seen XvSF in High Level comp and it has alot of poetential to increase in comp if more people would be open minded. That’s IMO though which again I doubt anyone cares about.=p
this is one of the most balanced games as far as character selection. bison and gief are the only 2 that seem unplayable but even they have some tricks.
not balanced you say? you pick my 2 characters and play me for $$$
i said this a couple days ago, but it’s true. atleast in mvc2, you have to go for a reset or trick before the guy gets dizzy.
only thing i like about xvsf is that everyone plays it in Ottawa…i can’t defend the bullshit in this game:sad:
i mean storm is wayyyy cheaper in xvsf than mvc2…full screen infinites are eassssyyyy
magnus is also cheaper in that, he doesn’t need resets
chun-li…if she knocks you down and is close to you…forget it…just give up, there is no way to see the highlow coming…impossible.
i say all serious fights will be played with mag storm and chun-li…with the occaional charlie wolvi and clops…and mayyyyybbbbbbeeeeeee cammy.
my thoughts exactly… Vic is the homie and so is Sabre.
It’s like, Rise of the Kaillera Warriors with the MMDS+dogface assist.
Yet the OG in me wants to say, fuck this game. But at the same time, I’ve always played in tourneys for this, and I played the games competively that Vic mentioned, like cvs1, a1, mvc1 etc so who am I to shit on a growing community.
dont get me wrong, i have nothing against the game being competitive, by any means. i would keep playing it. but i tell you what, the tourney would be more frustrating than any other game i can think of, in my eyes. its frustrating when playing someone not even on the same level as you, get a lucky ass hit and did an infinite that he practiced for about 3 minutes (obviously a little over exaggerating here =)) and wins the match.
but as much as i think the game has flaws, i still have a soft spot for it since back in the day when me and dogface were obsessed with the game back in 1996. and i would still support it. victor knows i would still support the game no matter what, he knows me well enough to know i will do that, just out of respect. =)
I think people will be surprised to see just how much work it takes to land that basic infinite.
I know when you watch dogface own scrubs at evo, all you seem to see is 2 and a half minutes of click ha ha, click ha ha, click ha ha.
And I think a lot of people fail to see how deep XvSF really is. I’d like to compare XvSF to CVS2, in that (as a wise man once told me) “In CVS2, it’s really hard to attack, because NOTHING is free”. Such is true for Xmen, anyway you try and land your infinite in Xmen has a counter, and that counter just might get you infinited. So at low levels, you see a lot of bullshit, cause higher level players will abuse bullshit that a lot of scrubs don’t know how to deal with.
However, at high level play you’ll, see Wolvies avoiding hit confirms with low strongs and low roundhouses, cause they know that shit is super punishable. You’ll see wolvies carefully plan out their dive kicks, cause they know that a sharp opponent will launch that dive kick for a free infinte. you’ll see wolvies empty divekick and drill claw away to bait out counter attacks (and possibly punish). You’ll see wolvies jump in JAB cause they know that it beats chun li s.roundhouse. You’ll see wolvies, whiff dive kick and land safely to bait out an anti air. You’ll see wolvies wave dash back and forth, cause they know they can’t get in, and try and bait out a whiff so they can dash punish. You’ll see wolvies occasionaly do low strong, then cancel to beserker barrage/tornado claw, cause they know their opponent will super the low strong and punish the super with berserker barrage/tornado claw. you’ll see defensive wolverine’s who dash under your jumps and low strong your jump-in, cause your jump in beats their other anti air options. you’ll see wolverine’s block sonic booms and sonic breaks (despite the fact that they can duck under them) just so they can push block for spacing. You’ll wolverine’s not push some supers at all so they can maintain spacing. you’ll see some wovlerine’s switch when they see that sonic break cause their on low health, and having the second character take a couple hits is a good pay off.
Like I donno, that’s just some wolverine tactics I see when I watch people play. I don’t even play wolverine, but wolverine is hella deep strat wise. And just think all those strategies with wolverine have counter strategies.
callmeanewb: believe me, i know how to play a very mean wolvie, and i used to run marathons with dogface everyday. im not saying its ridiculously easy to land that one hit into infinite. im definitely not saying that at all. but some random lucky hit can make it in at any given time, even maybe on accident, and it can lead to death. it happens to everyone.
i dont believe in discussing theory fighter, since its only based around perfect players that never screw up. and thats the point, people screw up, lucky hits get in, even for a scrub, and it can change the whole dynamic of a match, even if its a scrub. i just dont like that.
