Who gives a fuck about “gamers” or gaming? It’s about competition and playing to win. SF (real SF, not SFXT) is just a medium that allows people to satisfy their primal urge to dominate their fellow man in a safe environment.

PS. Quality > Quantity. A few good men >>>>>>>>> a bunch of scrubs.

Yes because companies catering to everyone, 99% of which are not really gamers has been so great for gaming.

How is SFXT shaping up guys? Game of the year material? No?

i’ve never hated a game this much since smash bros brawl. i troll often. this is not a troll post.

ATTN: MYSTERIOUS GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM WALMART (older group with the 2 round 2 TE sticks and that wife that exposed the east side players). your group is a hidden gem of london. together we can rule all of dundas and maybe some of oxford. please make your existence known. <3 <3 :3

Dundas is mine.

I ran Fanshawe Park road back in the day with Wizards Masonville.

reading an article about the disappearance of skill in video games. i scroll down a bit and there’s a screenshot of sfxt. it put a smile on my face.

hey guys. We should all play KOF13.

Alvin, link to article please.

I may actually buy this game…why?

-its 2D (huge…I love this)
-it’s got only 8 characters (I love this…going back in time when FG’s only had a few characters is a tremendous move. Fewer characters allows everyone to learn all the match ups, thus making the game much more competitive, and it just provides a sense og cohesiveness that games with 56 characters lack)
-made by a community member (I wanna support Mike Z for making a real FG)
-I’m guessing it doesn’t have any BS ez mode mechanics…

And yes, I realize that KOF13 has some of these qualities as well, but honestly, after acknowledging that it’s prolly a very good game (especially in these shitty times), I realized that the game’s style (lots of jumping, not enough zoning/poking…then again, Skullgirls may end up like this as well, who knows?) doesn’t really suit me. Same with 3D FG’s, I know that they’re good and all (some are better than others…), but I’m too old and too lazy to play non-SF (or SF’ish) fighting games.

edit: who am I kidding, I will not play this game, I don’t even have the motivation to play SF games that I love…some1 bring back arcades plz.

Back in the day when SF play was slow, methodical, and deeply satisfying:

at 4:50 minutes in: “Beautiful combo from the LA guy… I thought I saw him on the news looting something.”

Fucking GOLD.

LOL I also love the car battle afterwards

Josh, I was telling Chris how when Guile AA’ed with close forward, I was reminded of CVS1, but I now remember that it also reminds me of you. You and your meaty close forward…lol
