Seems like a majority of people in Socal are focusing hardcore on SFxT, since it’s new and fresh and exciting. A few are staying with SF4, but I think people just got bored with it after 4 years.
The new thing is flashy graphics, and ez mode chain combos.
Super/Cross Art animations are like twice as long as SF4’s ultras. I can almost guarantee you people are gonna get sick of the flashiness in a few months.
People said the same thing about SF4, and look at how long that game has lasted.
Honestly I’m sick and tired of all these camera angle shifts, and close-up shots of people. What’s wrong with simple super animations from the days of yore? Nothing wrong with seeing a shadow figure of the character while they do a super. It’s quick, effective, and flashy enough to entertain spectators.
The only good thing about extended animation ultras, was that I was able to look directly at my opponent for like 7 seconds and watch the salt on their face sink its way into their chest.
I think it lasted because Cashcom followed its standard tradition of releasing paid updates to its games, ie: SSF4 and SSF4 AE.
How long would the game have really lasted with S tier Sagat and a bunch of other broken stuff thrown in?
Not really imo.
I always got dat Daigo look.
Good point. But I think the hype surrounding SF4 would’ve carried it over for a long time, especially since so many newer players LOVED SF4 so much. At least until Marvel came around.
I think the old style supers were pretty cool looking, and simple. Who doesn’t get hype whenever Alpha CC’s start? Or seeing a well-timed super in ST do like 40-0% damage?
Or are kids really that ADHD, that they need a fireworks display and dubstep playing whenever someone does an ultra?
I always have that Daigo look in tournament, but in casuals, it is TOO much fun to talk trash with your buddies.
Sooooooooo… Am I too late for camp ?
I’m down to train. I need someone to expose me. Xbox JJL Z33 psn JJL-Z33
dude i played you online tonight…for the love of god stop mashing…you mash the most random shit that only the gods of online are saving you from dying with.
Why are you mashing cr.rh during blockstring…why r u mashing cr.mk during blockstrings or on wakeup…when you have been frametrapped 4 times in a row, stop hitting crouch tech. I even went back and looked at your inputs after and even when the frametraps didnt work for some reaosn, you were still mahsing something.
Also cr.rh target combo is not safe in the least. Command dashes are not safe to just keep throwing out (jab jab dash jab jab dash). This stuff might/will work online depending on connection but if you tried any of that offline, youd get killed. Also stop starting rounds with HP neckbreaker.
Im not even going to comment on how many times you mashes dp (ex and non ex)
Thats a bit harsh… what happened to constructive criticism and all’a that. The dudes just got a few issue’s in his game
Going by what gsxtacy said, it sounds like more than just a “few” issues.
Braga, it’s actually not harsh at all. Same treatment I got and then I tried to fix it. Takes a while if you weren’t into the fighting game scene until just recently (a year or two ago?)
Just understand that if you want help, you gotta expect criticism from players like gsxtacy or Mingo. I’m still pretty bad at the game, but I did improve thanks to that slut right there. 
Eeeh fair enough… I don’t really know how things work round here but some people could take offense to being spoken to like that
But it seems like gsx made some pretty fair statements about his gameplay. Whether or not he liked the tone in which he said it, is somewhat irrelevant. As long as it’s a valid criticism, it’s a valid criticism, he should take it to heart, and find ways to improve his gameplay.
Anyway… I don’t want to start steering away from the reason I posted in here, any of you guys on XBL + online anytime soon?
At this point, I only play on PC.
Yea I’m kinda steering away from xbox since PC is so much easier and you can get custom costumes! I will put the lobby up on the upcoming sunday. If I’m busy, I’ll play a bit of PC then go to xbox.
Ouch, well guess imma stick to sfxt for a while longer
I stopped playing SF4 a week before SFxT officially released because some people had early copies, and I didn’t start playing SF4 again until WNF earlier this week. I think it’s a fun game, but I know a lot of people don’t think the same.
Lobby is up if anyone wants to play. I won’t set private slots, but my local is south africa or something. Hit me up on raptr or something if you need someone to play with.
is this on PC? what is your name on PC?
