TRUTH!
But Vic… I’m not going to evo =(
NO there is one I HAVE A RECORD. no going over the border if you’ve got one. Sorry!
I still play people that flip out, when they can’t beat my Gambit/Ken, with their “this game is stupid broke” Mag/Cyc. People that know the basics, know how to tri-jump mixup and start combos with s.roundhouse, know how to whore Cyc c.forward and sj.roundhouse, but still get beat by basics and evolved strat. People who haven’t seen Crossup Air Hurricane / Team Super, or how gambit Jump Back Fierce / SJ -> Card shuts out anyone that doesn’t hump Block.
Most people will agree XvsSF has balance. Without infinites, most people will agree it has depth. With infinites, callmeanewb mentioned that the depth lies mostly in the tactics that lead up to said combo. In the knowledge of your options, their options, and the execution. And while infinites may cut the learning curve a little short, there’s still some serious gaps between a scrub that can Cyc Inf and someone who consistently wins tournaments. Let’s be honest, combofiend isn’t exactly a scrub, and though he might not be an XSF officianado, MvC2 is about as close as you can get.
Other games may have a stronger learning curve, but at the same time, most of them don’t have the balance and depth that XSF has. Don’t get me wrong, I love GGXX, and I’ll still hit 3s up when it’s got competition going, but IMO, they lack the character diversity that XSF has. Matchups change SO much in XSF. For me, that’s just more fun.
Which is why I play, fun. I don’t play as much as I used to, but I still have a blast online(Which, btw, is far from dead. 100+ usual players, ~10-20 non-scrubby. Lag / Delay just complicate things). And that’s what it’s about, isn’t it?
Speaking of which, I’m gonna go play now. And I’m gonna use Jugg / Sim, cause I can.
jug sim, lol. wierd combination but im sure it works
$$$ in da bank
just front about $5000+g’z and SFvsXM is in EVO2K7! 
lol @ shiki for neg repping me in this thread. What a cock sucker.
dun worry i got ya some pos rep
I don’t care what anyone says, I fucking love this game! I also love Vic… you the man bro.
Shiro: What’s up bro? Still playing online? I may get off WoW and my Wii once in a while to play once again.
I plan to enter XvSF again this EVO, mainly because it is so damn fun to play. Better show up this year… cough Shiro cough, fuck that noise about crossing the border and criminal record bs, FIND A WAY!
im picking up this game since your guys discussion is getting me pumped
best way to play besides actual game is mame right?
Mame sucks pretty bad. It “works”, but there are a lot of emulators that just run better(I.E., FBA[Preferably earlier versions, before .2.9. .2.94 is the most common though], MAMEmore). Unfortunately, “everyone” uses Mame 0.64, so you pretty much have to use it unless you want to send some friends an EMU.
I play online with mame, offline I always load FBA .2.6.
Fba works the best for me. BUT DONT PUT IT ON YER TV good lord no…
yo shiro, when canadian nats come around again, if you wanna do PC emulated XvSF, that’s cool, but I’m gonna have to rent out a place, cause I want everything on TVs. That means there will be exactly no cabinets, and everything will be console/PC emulated.
Anybody have a link to a tutorial on how to play online with MAME? I’ve just got it and would love to get online at some time.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Only in Ottawa and Edmonton we dont play that game here in MTL so dont say Canada =P
Why thank you.
Um I’m pretty sure Toronto (Joker Krasshole Jerris Roger Poeta), Calgary (lester Genasis Greg) and soon Winnipeg do as well…
(that was just to name a few)
2D games better than XvSF that are not part of Evo:
COTA.
Primal Rage.
Killer Instinct.
MK3.
2i.
Any darkstalkers.
Any alpha.
Ranma 1/2 - Hard Battle.
Any SamSho.
MSH.
Why would XvSF make a big impact at Evo when MVC2 is a similar style of game and there are probably 30 other better fighting games available? It isn’t the best Marvel style game - in fact it is probably the worst. It can be really fun but as a competitive game it is really quite lame.
It is what it is - a fun diversion.
