Sirlin.net: "The Anti-Progress Attitude"

[Ghostal]

I didn’t call him out. I stated my opinion on the community, and game itself, and he got offended. The truth is that people really don’t like SF4, and only play it because it’s the new popular thing that has the most cash connected to it. I still remember everyone bitching at how SF4 sucks. If he likes SF4, then so be it.

This sounds vaguely familiar…

Hm almost, SF4 was actually popular, 3s was just a desperation move because there wasnt anything else to play that was just as easy with a big enough scene
Until SF4 came out, that is…

Play Akatsuki Blitzkampf. It’s a good game!

or Battlefantasia is a great game

What Sirlin’s putting on blast isn’t 3S purists, its folks who think that imbalance improves a game, and other poisonous attitudes that have kept the FGC held back.

True, but that’s not quite as eye-catching a thread title.

“I think “can’t parry projectiles” really would make for more interesting gameplay. It would increase the importance of zoning, and is a much less drastic solution than “remove all parries.” As for removing parrying while in the air, I’m not really sure on that one. Would have to hear arguments for and against to weigh them. But it’s a bit too academic anyway, I don’t see such changes really happening.”

“Air paries can also create a guessing game situation that could be a good thing, but your point is a good one.** Probably removing both kinds of paries you said would truly allow a zoning game and would leave intact a ton of parry situations up close, and even at poking range that would still give the game a parry-feel. I think those changes would be worth trying.**”

Straight from the horse’s mouth

What a brainless clown.

What’s all the bullshit about “splitting the community” anyways? Lots of people prefer A2 > A3, HF > ST, even HDR > ST and find a way to coexist. Boohoo that your fucking precious game isn’t mainscreen on EVO.

Did any of those games actually co exist with separate but relatively equal scenes for more than like 6 months? I’ve never heard of or seen a HF tournament in my life, nor have I seen anyone play any ST besides SBO quals in the states since HDR came out. I wasn’t playing SF during A2 and A3 so I don’t know but nobody really cares about either one anymore.

Ok. This is not directed at YOU per say, but I’ve heard the same thing said by numerous members of the community, and I just wanna say…

I like SF4. Not cuz it’s ‘popular’ or cuz it’s where the money’s at, but because I find the gameplay enjoyable, and I feel the game is pretty well balanced. hakan is also the most enjoyable character I’ve ever used in a fighting game.

Why is it that it’s considered SO bad to like certain games? Yes, I know Sf4 has flaws, but 3S has plenty of flaws as well, and that doesn’t stop me, or others from loving that game either does it? The exact same can be said of Super turbo, BLazblue, Guilty Gear, etc.

It’s not misplaced nostalgia, or HD remixes, or rebalancing that tears communities apart. It’s feeling one is better than someone else if they play and enjoy a different game than yourself.

Why does every game have to have fireball zoning? Let some games be different.

3rd Strike had arguably one of the most exciting and memorable moments [Daigo parry] in “eSports” history. Ranked #1 out of 10 on most websites, hell even Starcraft players on TeamLiquid’s forums say it’s one of the top moments. No other fighting game has come close to this. Ever.

Oh and see sig if you’re still QQing about Yun/Chun.

wth?

[hiiiiiiiiyah]

a blog post stating mostly obvious stuff about 3S…getting one hell of a reaction
this release should of come with the option to play OG version or rebalanced version…and maybe a blowjob too after reading some of these posts
if rebalance sucked, no one would of played it…but at least it would of showed a bit of effort
imo

UGH some of you guys are slow.

Those 2 quotes were from Sirlin himself, on his replies on his posts

Yeah? He says he thinks removing some parries might be “worth trying,” which, in your reptile brain, means that he advocates making those changes AND ONLY THOSE CHANGES and damn the consequences! Of course, Crashd already tried to point out this flaw in your “logic,” to which you responded by mashing copy paste on your keyboard like a petulant infant.

[SolidSonicTH]

Um, how am I supposed to feel about all this? Is it…a mistake to consider SF3 one of my favorite fighting games out there?

Worth trying? Like how he tried with ST…?

Say what now?

No. Just enjoy the game.

No, it is not. <-- And this is coming from a guy that does not like SF3.

And that has nothing to do with whether or not 3S is balanced.

He could have claimed that Serpentor invented pizza and it wouldn’t have anything to do with the truth value of his claims about 3S. Hence the fallacy of ad hominem.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

You’re making a big mistake here. You’re ignoring all the valid counterpoints made in this thread and just focussing in on the ad hominem. Once the frivolous argument sirlin made had been discredited thoroughly, there is nothing wrong with calling him retarded, because he’s clearly retarded, and its fun.

[OMG_its_a_duck]

do we really need the 100th argument about 3S? some people like playing it, some people don’t, sirlin is a jackass. there are 0 new points being made.
