Vampire Saviour uses numercal notation . . .
Does it really matter which notation is being used, if your part of the community shouldn’t you know all the notations like you know the top players, popular streams and the various slang that goes around.
TvC community also used Number Notations, and they also use The ABC notations for buttons. That just one example of a capcom communitty that did accepted number notation.
In MVC3, you basically got people saying completely different lingo from each other. I seen people call crouching low(name of the button in MVC3) " A low Short",“2A”, “crounching jab”,etc.
part of what community? top players/popular streams for what games?
general fg community not any specific game
thats meaningless. why should I know about streams or top players or notation for games i dont even play?
It is.
Phobia against everything not made by Capcom.
I tell you, it’s more real than you’d think.
I recall the mods for the MvC3 section agreed to enforce non-number notation for that board late last year.
On a related note, me and Jamp have decided to require non-number notation in the SFxT board so that any Tekken players coming in don’t get confused.
I would be offended if I were a Tekken player.
PS: MvC3 board isn’t enforcing that, every player uses whatever annotation they like.
I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before in another thread on the topic. Number notation vs. “QCF” notation is just like Metric vs Imperial. A single, large, stubborn group continues to use an inferior system because they are mostly too lazy to learn a new one that the rest of the world has figured out is better.
Consider a BNB for Dio in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure:
compared to:
QCF notation just isn’t detailed enough to concisely describe more advanced inputs required outside of the SF series.
However, I like arrow notation – because that is just number notation with pictures. It’s the best possible system, except that using forum emoticons for arrows isn’t universal in terms of copy/pasting and such.
I don’t mind number notation. I just translate it at home. Take like 5 minutes.
For the record, I merely started the topic to gather opinions. I don’t think there’s a “right” or “wrong” notation, but people have different preferences, like stick and pad for instance. No need to throw things at each other. >_<
someone already made that joke.
And i use whatever the standard notation is for that game. I use 236/numbers for Soul Calibur, I use qcf/letters for SF, i use d+2/d/f2,3 or whatever for tekken. Is it really that big of a deal to just use whatever the majority of that community uses?
Because anime game kids are butthurt that their games are not being played and Capcom is successful, despite the fact they whine all the time about how other games “lack options”, or are “too simple” or whatever, and while they ignore that long combos, explosions and not getting owned by positioning alone like in HF, reasons why many new people like SF4, are the same reasons they like the anime games.
Then they make blanket statements about imaginary people who can not understand number notation, make up facts about numbers being somehow better than other notation, ignore than you can use arrows that work on basically any decent text editor and start the usual 09er/10er “I was shitting on my diapers when SF2 was released and I want to pretend I know shit”.
The reason I said that players should keep an eye out on the other scenes is because this fighting game community is already small enough. Instead of putting these divisions (traditional, anime, party smash) we need to give more respect and try to learn off each scene to raise to greater levels.
Arguing about notation is ridiculous some notations, one is could be better for long combos, one could be better for a quick special, one could be better for verbal explanation. Who Cares? Why not just know them so when someone goes 236+HP or Hadoken Motion+HP or QCF+HP you know what their talking about and not just flaming them for not talking Street Fighter Language or Blaz Blue Language.
Then clearly you aren’t reading anything correctly are you. Some of us play BB, GG and others as well as Capcom fighters, does that mean people can’t have a preference for notation without being branded with a sweeping stereotype?
At the end of the day, if you want to play multiple fighters and get any useful information online, you’re going to have to suck it up and learn number notation whether it irritates you or not.
the more that you post the more obvious its becoming how a big idiot you are
arguing with him is a waste of time
Hazama player?
I’m STILL, after 10 years “learning” numeric notation, but with each game and each character, it becomes more natural. It might help you to remember that the even numbers are all cardinal directions.
LA!
I prefer Chris McDonald/Kao Megura (RIP) notation as it makes instant sense to me, but numeric is more precise and better for certain games.
:3
Yeah, but I’m terrible with him.
If you read throughout this thread, you will see the ones stating a certain notation was “natural”, “simple” and “standard” while ignoring others and using the motion one as a blanket were not really people who ignore smaller scenes.
If you go check the forum activity from this last kid who offended me, you will find out he spends half his time in this forum whining about these “Capcom kids”, and the other half time pressing “like” on the posts from anyone else rants about the “Capcom kids”. As if, cos not enough players play the games they like, everyone else plays all of Capcom games, instead of checking reality, which displays people dedicating themselves to one or two games, and that’s it. This is the kind of thrash that has infested these forums and spreads shit as if it was verified truth. It is actually not the majority: but vocal minorities can annoy just as much as legions of idiots, with enough troll dedication.
That all said, some of us have work, family and our lives and chose not to spend our time playing several games. We find a one we think it is good and stick to it. You have to respect that, not rant all around at “Capcom kids”, “Marvel kids” and stuff. When I joined this, it was all about Marvel2 and CvS2. Instead of spreading shit around, I just sat at the ST sections and HF topics and learned from people like Nohoho, Wolfe brothers, Watson, NKI and many others. Quietly. They don’t know when to shut up.
