That’s still 150 that PS3 owners don’t have to pay.
There is still the possibility Megaman and Pacman are only time exclusive for PS3. Have no idea why these two are console exclusive.
Though i don’t think they’re designed to be good anyway, so nobody gonna play them at Tournaments.
Fuck tournament organizers.
Besides you’re all gonna buy this shit anyway LOL
Capcom knows they can do ANYTHING. They can refuse to localize Phoenix wright and AA Vs Layton. They can refuse to localize Monster Hunter, they can add day 1 dlc, disc locked content, rehashes etc. They know they can do ANYTHING because the FGC utterly WORSHIPS them and will defend them to the end.
the 5 exclusive characters are really just silly anyway. I can see them wanting to throw in a namco and capcom representative in the game but they are just too weird and don’t fit SF nor Tekken’s art style. It is SF X TK – so how does Cole fit in that?
Main thing to me and why I converted to xbox in the first place is because PSN’s crappy servers and SSf4 choppy lag online. I have 2 bar connections on PSN – switch over to xbox and get 4 bar all day. So how do you think the lag will be on PSN with 4 characters moving in and out of stage?
as I have yet to find any form of FG enthusiats in my area (big BIG COD fan base here) - online is my only option and I’ll stick with Street Fighter and Tekken characters only as well.
If this was realeased on Wii as TvC or for upcoming WiiU, you will need to buy a new system, a new fightstick, plus the game. I mean, at any time it may be announced a version for the WiiU, what if this one has two new SF and Tekken characters? I’m sure it would be taken as a revision and the tournament standard.
We have time to decide which version should be played and to not make these characters a waste of time and resources. Five characters is a big deal, that is the point of this thread.
Although I really dig the exclusive characters, they should be insta-banned because it’s simply not fair for the XBOX-only owners, no matter how good/bad they end up being.
Are you kidding?
Really, Though. I’m not sure if you’re just pulling me along here.
well i guess according to some people who probably dont attend tournaments who own ps3s everyone should run out and buy one so that they can use mid-life-crisis megaman and packman riding mokujin
gj guys, i’m sure every tournament that isn’t evo is totally cool with buying double their setups in ps3s so that you can go 0-2 with some shitty characters in a shitty game
That’s a legitimate argument. There is one version of the game with X amount of content relevant to competitive play, and another version of the game with all of that content and more. It’s not really fundamentally different from an update being released on a completely new console, and splitting the community between people who could buy the new console and those who can’t. A tournament wouldn’t and shouldn’t sacrifice legitimate content just to placate people who don’t feel like buying the better version of the game.
Even better, in this case both versions are released at the same time, so it’s not like people would buy the inferior version of the game without knowing that there is a better one available. The community is not split, because the community doesn’t exist yet.
When AE was console exclusive, in order to “know what works” against Yun and Yang you had to go to an arcade that had the game, preferably one with good competition. If you lived in an area of the country or the world without an arcade in reasonable distance, it would be prohibitively expensive to gain experience against those characters, but there were still tournaments for arcade AE and those two characters were allowed. If you went to an AE tournament, you went with the knowledge that there would be things you weren’t prepared for, and you would have to adapt.
If you go to a tournament hosted on PS3, you know in advance that there are characters only on PS3 that you might not have experience with if you have the 360 version. The option to play the version the tournament is using is available to you, and the cost is not as great as it would be for something like a new console, or traveling to an arcade. You are a competitive player - you adapt to what you see at a tournament, you don’t use something like that as an excuse to exclude players who want to use legitimate tactics that are included with the game you are traveling to play.
In this sense I think people are overstating the impact of unfamiliar characters in tournaments. Sure, in the first couple weeks, you might not know what the characters do, but that goes for every character to various extents. But you’ll get experience against the exclusives by playing against them, either locallly or at the tournament. And once that time has passed, they will no longer be a big deal. I seriously doubt that “not being able to test what works on them” has as much of an impact as being able to play against actual tournament players using the character. Unfair that you can’t test things in training mode? The existence of local competition in certain locations is a much more real advantage, as you might not get matchup experience against a character, but you’re expected to deal with it when you go to a tournament.
Tournament players are expected to adapt to much more significant elements, and honestly this problem should go away after a few weeks, especially with the internet to help you and the option to go play the game at someone’s house if you really want.
The “unfairness” people are talking about is basically nil, and only exists at all for the first couple weeks. People are just rubbed the wrong way by having to play on PS3, but Xbox 360 isn’t special for some reason.
Is this really being debated?
No seriously, is this being debated???
LMFAO.
I Voted The First Option because honestly…I’d understand if this was just one single character but it’s not
it’s five characters! you gotta wonder what capcom’s really thinking with that decision…
I’ve not really seen that many tournaments played on 360(Mostly PS3 to be honest)
so in my opinion they should be allowed
to ban them would block off part of the game
and if it bugs you that much find a friend with a ps3 and play against those characters
or study videos of them(if you can find any)
honestly i don’t care because capcom doesn’t care either way and if capcom doesn’t care why should you?
Some people still don’t understand that exclusive characters get banned, end of story. No debate to be had aside wanting to please their curiosity I guess. The characters are there for the majority to enjoy them and they will(hint tournament goers are the minority, the majority of you who just play online and watch streams aren’t part of anything so why care anyway?)
this thread needs to be closed.
LOL at the people saying that others should bend over and buy a PS3 just to play 5 characters.
aaannnnnnd if anyone uses one of those 5 characters as a main never intended to take this game seriously. what will you do if a tournament is ran on 360??? C’MON PEOPLE USE YOUR HEAD!
this thread is a joke. If you think they wont be banned, you obviously weren’t thinking in the fist place.
Street Fighter IV HD has 14 characters. The same goes for arcade vanilla SF4. Anyone who mains a console character never intended to take this game seriously. What will they do if a tournament is run on a cell phone?
We know all this stuff in advance. The idea of a tournament being run on 360 is fine, but it doesn’t mean that PS3 tournaments should use a handicapped version of their game for reasons that don’t really matter (you get experience against the exclusive characters by playing against them.) Actual tournament players should not be bothered by this.
This is the main reason I bought a ps3. I got tired of missing out on the extra content that I would have on top of the fact that i pay the same price for the same game and get less of it.
That being said, exclusives have always been banned from tournaments and I have never cared about it. Yet,i that believe that the only things that should be banned are broken(overpowered) characters.
If there are 5 more characters on ps3 that is the version I will buy and play. If it gives me an unfair advantage over 360 users who haven’t played against those characters, oh well.
This really won’t matter to anyone that actually goes to tournaments because just like anything elese competitive, your going to do your research and learn what works best and if the extra charaters are legal you’ll learn to play around them.

This. Can anybody explain why a Namco character and a Capcom character (and a joke one at that) can’t be on the 360 version of the game?
I’d like to hear a reason that doesn’t involve the phrase “racist Japanese fucks”
To not ban them would block off part of the community.
In what way? First, there is no community yet. Second, nothing’s stopping them from coming to the tournament and playing the game, provided they have the necessary equipment. It doesn’t block them off anymore than ver. 2012 blocks off the PC community (there are people without a working 360/PS3.)
They don’t lose access to their own characters, who behave the same way they expect them to. The experience that really matters is matchup experience, and you need to get that at a tournament anyhow.
Banning them actually does block off part of the community (the part that wants to play those characters for whatever reason.) I don’t plan to play as them, but I would defend someone who did.
it has nothing to do with it being “unfair” for people who only have xboxen and everything to do with consistency. also as has been mentioned multiple times most tournaments run off of xbox and not ps3
Everybody loses no matter what happens
