Why is XvSF pretty popular in Canada?
All I know is I was way impressed when I went to Evo this year and saw some people who were crazy in this game. I thought the game was garbage, but there was such a big gap between a scrub (like myself, who played 1 game pretending I was playing MvC2 without assists and got rocked) and someone who was actually good at the game, it made it real easy to respect high level XSF, even with the infinites.
But I don’t play, so that’s just my 2 cents.
No clue. Could be the same reason A3 is popular in Toronto now for some reason. I like it cause its kinda like a cross between Marvel and CvS2 and rediculous combo’s are too fun to pull off making someone say “oh shit!!” doesn’t happen to often but its still nice doing rediculous combo’s in matches.
Better watch it at T8 shiro, Imma take you out son!
Must be the moose juice. Who knows? 
I personally can’t see how XvSF isn’t competitively playable. It has a lot of bullshit; but I don’t think this bullshit renders it unplayable. My city alone proves this because it is very competitive game here(maybe the most).
It resembles the original SF concept in that so much imbalance creates a balance.
Breaking it down simplistically:
- There a LOT of playable characters (nearly the whole cast)
- The more intelligent player will win consistently (sounds obvious but this is a problem with imbalanced games).
- The game is fun to play and watch (at least the people here think so)
What exactly makes it unplayable? The priorities, easy combos, cheap tactics (Storm, Chun) can be fustrating but the great thing about this game is most of these are accessible for every character.
The game does create plenty of injustice but it still usually derives from a mistake. This makes it interesting to me because you have play very tight/cautious but aggressive at the same time.
balance isnt even the issue in the game. xsf is insanely balanced. everyone has massive bs tactics to win. i only put storm head and shoulders above the best for obvious reasons.
i think most agree the game is pretty balanced due to the high bs nature of the game. its the simplicity of some of the dominant stuff that gets to me, is all
The game get to me too. Mistakes, which are unavoidable, are so greatly punished it’s just wrong.
I just feel balance has a huge part in it’s competitve playability.
I do see a lot of non-bs tactics as well…I don’t want that to be left out. Even still, a lot of bs tactics can turn into an interesting match with the right players behind them. It just gets fustrating when a scrub uses them against you because they get a more reward out of them then they should.
Well all I can say is that for some of the Ranbats we run here in Edmonton, We imply a no basic infinite rule. Doing this takes away alot of the randomness. Honestly it makes the game harder because you have to poke alot more and punish simple mistakes.
Like ok I’m not going to claim to be a good player or top player or any thing of that nature. But you can see in this match here that implying a no basic infinite rules DEMANDS a more tatical play

If you suck my dick in an Edmonton back alley…maybe. But other than, you have to work for it. =p
I really don’t think T8 is in my future. No one to go with. :sad:

i love you!!!
Maybe…I could consider it. It’s just a matter of when and how I can get some quick cash for it. =/
I don’t know if I should lower my guard for this one. I mean, I took away your precious 60 second rule. What is it that you want? Make yourself clear. Or face my wrath.
thats great and all, we already touched on this subject on the first page i believe. i think its silly, however, that we have to agree on house rules, to make a game more playable, you know. you shouldnt have to do that. having to do that just implies that the game does have major problems.
either way, to me, its not a big deal. the game is fun, and im all for keeping a game alive, i cant knock that
True enough Sabre. Heeeey say you should come to T8 as well. I wanna see those xvsf skills (even if you dont think ya got any)
so it’s final then? we’re all gonna go learn to play XvSF and come to evo and rape hard at this game?
good luck 
Thought I’d ask this here~
Is Cammy / Chun a bad team to roll with in this game?
I don’t want too much in terms of execution requirements.
vic rapes me hard with that team :sad:
Good team but not much diversity. I’m not sure you’d enjoy fighting the often chosen Wolvie/Charlie team.
You’ll find it hard to find a ‘bad’ team to roll with in this game
My playstyle is simple and effective, and noone else in the game appeals me to really.
;p
