Lets kill the strategy section!

[Ephidel]

You’re crazy.

Agreed.

I still pick up interesting facts there.

no one talks marvel strat. because we all hide our secrets to win. the only way to break this statement is if magnetro shares how to do the venom glitch that was in his avatar.

That truely would be pulling the sword out of the stone…

If I want to make a thread to help Marvel players out, or to discuss the 3rd Strike tiers or the coolest plays in CvS2, I have to post on the strategy section.

The strategy section is very nice nad organized, but it has a huge problem that, IMO, spreads the community. It brings the players apart.

lol first off no offense but you can’t “bring apart” thats an oxymoron

Lets be real now, Nobody reads the entire forum. I read FGC, which is so cool, and take some pics at the Marvel section, since I play Marvel.

if everyone read the entire forum there’d be no sections, the board is spread to help people navigate
i’d rather have marvel in its own section then
"wheres the marvel thread?"
its on the 9th page

Since I don’t play 3rd Strike, I never evere get any reason to get any interest in 3rd Strike because nothing there will ever be able to catch my curiosity. And why is that? Simply because I will not click at the 3rd Strike strategy section.

seeing a strategy thread does not entice someone to play a game, seeing it in action does
seeing a marvel match for the first time and seeing the rainbow infinite (which is still cool btw) would get me wanting to play marvel more then seeing “c.lk,c.lk+psy, c.lk,c.hk…”

A guy who does not play Marvel will never ever click on the MvC2 strat section too, and it os teh same for most games, and the majority of srk.

because usually they dont have much to contribute 98% of marvel has been discovered and posted and usually top marvel players find shit out by playing each other, 3S is still kicking, and …no one plays cvs2 much you can learn cvs2 just by watching (HP+HK,[DP+P]xN, qcfx2+p)

Do you see what I am getting at? Marvel players get no exposure to cool 3rd Strike stuff, so they grow more and more appart form the other fighting game communities. And the same happens fopr 3rd Strikers, GGers and so on.

thats a lie marvel players play 3S a lot and i dont see much in the strat board that would convince them to play 3s more than say seeing matches would.
GGers have their own forum so any ggers here are getting their exposure period.

Now imagine if everything (besides character specific sections) falls right here, on FGD.

FGD would grow bigger, of course, but probably not as big as GD, and they don’t have any problemas there.

If you want to look for something specific, all the character specific sections would still be right there.

better yet what about the wiki
and i garuntee most questions would be “how do i do magneto infinite?”

But the general strategy topics would all fit right here. Just by browsing outo of curiosity, we would end up learning matchups or whatever cool stuff is in discussion for each game. 3S players could invade Marvel therads and ask questions. MvC2 players could go to CvS2 thread out of the blue, just for the heck of it, and get some interest in the game.

More than that, its a bigger incentive for top players to sahre their views. Some top players may not want to open a Q &A thread on the almost dead Marvel general strategy section, but here the thread would be something amazing, recahing current Marvel players, prospect marvel players, and much more. And Marvel of course is just an example.

I am pretty tired right now, and I am sure I could phrase it better, but the general idea is pretty clear:

To make our community stronger, we need more cross-gaming. To get more cross-gaming, we need to be able to discuss the games here.

I understand this idea is pretty out there, but I ask you (especially the mods) to give it some careful thought. Maybe even test it for a month or so and see what happens. I believe SRK community can get much better and bigger this way.

Well, there you have my 2 cents.

dew our community IS strong theres a few kinks here and there but its other wise fine

Oh snapz, Marvel is breakin’ away from SRK! :looney:

haha MARVEL IS SRK :lovin:

The best example is really Dark Geese. Imagine if SRK had a SNK section and DG was obliged to start his thread there. Almost nobody would give a damn. But since the thread is always up here, even people who never played SNK games before check it every now and then (like myself) and many started playing those games as well.

how would you know that?
how long have you been here?

no offense to dark geese but FUCK that thread
i’m not wading through 150+ pages to look for specific ass fucking strats
again WIKI

(vannessa+XI=love)

Of course the debate itself can generate ideas much better than mine. Majestros had a great point. Mods could allow topics for specific games here. Maybe a topic asking for tips and strats would have to go to strategy, but topics for teaching, discussing tiers/matchups and all that nice stuff that would run over 50 pages of good debate on old srk could be here.

they have that its called “OTHER GAMES” board

Hay guys wuts going on in dis thread?

I’m not quite sure… Hey, lets go watch from that grassy knoll over there…

join date, mang

I was reluctant to pull that, but you’d think someone would wait more than 2 months to make such a bold suggestion.

Can you imagine what it would be like for more popular games? Some people might like that format of all information in 1 thread, although I’d wager many do not. Also, if SNK can generate 150 pages, imagine 3s. And for people who don’t read it on a day to day basis, you’ll be left with the infamous srk search to find what you need.

[Xenozip]

My only problem with the Wiki is that “unpopular” sections get no love and end up empty.

I’ve spent a lot of time researching all kinds of information for SF3:3rd Strike character Ibuki and updating that section of the Wiki. Frame data, technical information about moves and hitboxes, comboability, cancelability, traps, tricks, mixups, all sorts of stuff.

It’d be great if some one would do that for each of the characters right? But then we have the character section for Elena and it’s practically empty except for a move list. Hell you can find more information for Elena off GameFAQs than you can off the SRK Wiki.

And it’s not like nobody plays Elena. There’s plenty of Elena players with tons of Elena knowledge. There’s so many little tidbits of information about the character, such as her roundhouse moves taking her off the ground. Does it get posted? Nope. So naturally I’ve had to go sifting through threads and ghetto-translate Japanese sites for any real information on her.

Could you imagine really filling the MvC2 and CvS2 casts? I mean with actual useful information?

The people who specialize with these games and these characters just don’t put forth the effort to fill the Wiki with good information, they rather post in on the forum where it can be discussed.

Personally, I prefer posting on the forums too so that I can get discussion about what I’m posting. Like; what if I’m wrong, what if there’s a better way, what if there’s another way that’s easier, what if some one learns some shit off this and finds some new shit, etc.

Of course, after the information is discussed for a while, then I feel it can be posted on the Wiki. But I’m not going to do that for the entire cast of characters for 3rd Strike. Ibuki was my limit because I actually play her.

That thread is mostly “Hay Username are you going to FRX!?” but yeah good luck searching though 150+ pages of SNK circle jerkin.
