I can definitely see where Evo is coming from as far as dropping DC Marvel, at least in terms of the logistics of running the tournament. You have to supply a setup unique to one game, tune up/replace DC’s and every year more people are walking away with a couple more PS2->DC converters. Probably got old fast but they put up with it for a long time, so yeah, can’t blame them for pushing for PS3 as the new Marvel standard since its infinitely more convenient. There’s also the fact that Marvel on PS3 probably means easily doubling the number of entrants, bc hey you’re in Vegas, may as well roll the dice and play a little of Capcom’s Beer Pong aka Marvel right?
When it comes down to it, it’s not as if people are going to boycott Evo bc of something like this, bc 99% of people can’t argue with the above logic. I’d play Marvel on PS3 versus some of the best players in the world if that’s what the standard was, shit, I’d play Marvel on an Etch-a-Sketch.
Still, DC Marvel is going to be the biggest side tournament in Evo history.
I should hope so. DC may be accurate, but that doesn’t make those horrible control pads any better. Hate using those…hurts my fingers to use it.
…
Very few people have the thumbs to play mahvel on a pad… that being said… yes… the dc pads suck!! I got decent thumbs and there’s not much I can’t do on a playstation pad… but dc… yuck…
stick will always be where it’s at for mahvel tho… even if people could play at 100% on pad… they’d still roll with stick just for the nostalgia factor with this game.
What’s with the DC pad hate? I thought it was pretty good back in the day.
…Then again now that I am trying stuff out it is pretty imprecise. I’m trying to learn AHVB x3 on DC pad and I can only get one AHVB out XD It’s probably me being unskilled, but he’ll either end up doing it on the ground or SJing way up high and doing his j.HP instead. But it never really hurt my thumbs or anything way back when I’d play fighters all day on it, and it is a hell of a lot better than Xbox pad
how was it the best console for fighting games had the worst controller for it.
CvS2, third strike, esspecially marvel, the analog shoulder triggers killed them all for me, they have no place in fighting games.
And the D-pad was balltastic.
