I thought the reason Japan stopped playing MvC2 is because the US consistently beat them at it. So they wrote it off as not a legit game.
From what I hear, the problem with Marvel among the Japanese was that even in their 1-game, single-elim format most of the cast is hopeless. Even in, say, 3s, you have guys like Hayao & Kuroda placing top 4 in a major, but that just doesn’t happen with mid/low tier in Marvel. And since the vast majority of Japanese players want to pick their favorite character AND have a chance of winning, this is a significant turn-off.
if it’s in the top 10 nine years after release then it pulled off whatever it wanted
GvG nice
MB what the shit
haha,exactly!
i heard that there was a match between US vs Japan and Japan only won ONE game because ricky ortiz gave the japanese guy he was playing the win since it was his birthday
i was also wondering where would SFIV place on the list? beneath T6? above T6?
beneath t6, it seems that the japanese doesnt like sf4 too much
THE GAME ISN’T OUT YET STOP SPECULATING/MAKING SHIT UP
fuck
Time to totally take these numbers/placings and make the wrong conclusion based on them. According to this list, AH2 is 3 times better than 3s! Melty blood is just shy of being twice as good!
EDIT: 3s must be a really shitty game, goddamn
exactly :china: you at last see the truth
edit
only joking :cybot:
man im only expressing my opinion, teken is some how like gundam, the japanese love it, is a fact
Japan was never fond of the Marvel games at all. IIRC, Bas was the only one that even touched XvSF and was able to beat American players.
That wasn’t your opinion. That was pulling shit out of your ass and trying to pass it off as fact.
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for something to “seem” to be a fact.
Therefore he didn’t try to pass off anything as fact.
Also, there’s nothing to do but speculate during pre-release.
Calm the fuck down, yo.
Don’t turn this into a semantic thing. He was making a stupid assumption, and he got called on it. Unless the dude lives in Japan and goes to Japanese arcades frequently, his so-called observation has no weight.
I wouldn’t make any assumptions on his behalf given his grasp of the english language anyway.
The whole thing is about semantics.
He didn’t say “Tekken is absolutely the most popular game in Japan, everyone knows that duh” or some shit. He said it seemed like Tekken was more popular than SF and other fighters these days.
Assumptions are always stupid regardless of how much “factual backing” they might have,
but it doesn’t mean you need to be a little cunt about it.
For real.
I’m tired of hearing this bullshit
Wow Tekken 6 is the popular Arcade game in Japan. Take that DOA4 :lol:
I’m still surprised that 3s and the KOF98 remake is up there scratchin and survivin.
gs
This is about him assuming that SFIV is unpopular, not about Tekken’s popularity. I don’t know why you think I’m getting uppity about it. You remind me of one of those morons who’s always screaming at everyone to “calm down” when they’re the only one yelling.
Stating opinions is fine. Trying to speak for an entire country of people isn’t. Stupid, uninformed opinions should never be encouraged.
Freedom of speech extends both ways. Opinions are not a magic shield you can hide behind.
i never said that sfiv is unpopular, i only said what every one says here, that the japanese arent so hyped about sf4 like you dickhead
I’d say I don’t know what country you come from to think that isn’t being “uppity”, but then again I know what country you’re from.
No, opinions are not a magical shield to hide behind.
No, you are not in the right by pissing about someone making a statement based on their viewpoint of a situation.
Someone speculating about a video game isn’t going to cause a massive ebola outbreak or bring about the apocalypse, therefore he has every right to do it, just like you have a right to cry about it, and I have a right to cry about your crying.
You remind me of one of those moronic little kids that intentionally break a glass and when they get in trouble they go "but what did I do =(?"
Instigating and then trying to pretend like you’re the better person.
:china:
