I was just talking in terms of bare mechanics. It feels too different from 3S for me. Mentality-wise, I’d say it’s similar to 3S in that good reads and punishing the opponent lead to some beefy stuff, and it feels rewarding.
Another thing though, is that VF is REALLY fast. A lot of matches can be over in like 10-15 seconds if you’re not careful with what you’re doing, and I get mentally drained from that type of pacing. With 3rd Strike and Tekken, I can at least give myself some time to breathe.
yeah that’s probably very true. i don’t have enough experience really but from everything I know and have seen I would agree with that assessment.
it’s such a cool game though. the more i learn the more i see how everything pieces together and how radically different the characters play despite outwardly looking pretty similar from a novice’s perspective.
go play it! if you ever have a 360 and vf5 we can beat each other up. or any game for that matter.
SCV dropped recently. Hadn’t played SC since 2 and I’ve taking a liking to the most recent installment.
I really wish I was good at MVC2… Play that game for kicks
Tekken 6. I only play Steve. Happen to be decent at it.
Melty Blood :love: <My new obsession. It’s so much fun to play.
Serious post: KOF13. Only other game that comes close to 3S. I generally don’t like hyper aggressive spammy fighters like Marvel or anything too dumbed down (insert Capcom joke here) but I love Kizuna Encounter and Real Bout 2 even though they have magic systems they’re not nearly as aggressive or retarded as Marvel. My 3rd favorite fighter of all time thought is Samurai Shodown V SP. Amazing weapon-based fighter, easy to pick up but difficult to master. Only thing I don’t like about it is the lack of tech-throws.
CvS2 is a blast, I like that. It’s not as good as 3s but I don’t think anything is.
I’ve picked up Melee again after a long while away recently. It might be unpopular to say but it’s been pretty fun. Not functionally the same as regular fighting games but I like it.
I don’t think a lot of people necessarily hate Smash Bros because they think it’s shitty or anything. If anything they hate the community more than the actual games themselves.
13 is an alright game, but it does not come close to 3rd strike at all. Its just too different.
EDIT: I just realized I said that with a jaded view, because last night I played some long ass 3s sets with some friends, then we popped in KOF and we’re like “This isnt 3rd strike, this game sucks lol”
smash bros melee is a fucking sick as hell game. in college i learned about wave dashing and l cancelling and all that jazz. played with a few guys on a daily basis.
that game is a winner. definitely one of the most straight up fun games i’ve played.
anyone hating on smash is a dumbass. there’s nothing to hate on. hate on the people who want to try and compare it to more traditional fighting games like from capcom or snk. the community is retarded but the games are great (specifically melee)
How come noone plays BlazBlue or Marvel vs Capcom 2? Hell, MvC2 alone is the only reason I still have my PS2 & Dreamcast. I’m also kind of suprised that no one really touches MK Arcade Kolection.
I’d like to try out BB, but I don’t really like the scene for those kinda fighters in the US. Always dug the style and the soundtrack \m/ Ragna is boss
