So... whatever happened to Tekken VS Street Fighter?

[rayplay]

You’re argument makes no since if you. By your definition in KoF Clark and Benimaru are clones, or in older marvel games Storm and Wolverine are clones. And Allen Synder and Kairi from Street Fighter EX aren’t shotos.

…That’s not even close to what I said.

Haven’t really been a fan of Tekken since 3, but I’m interested to see how Namco fits the SF characters into the Tekken universe.

Even if they don’t play 100% the same, you can’t deny how their move lists where basically just updated ones from previous SF characters, and if all they were going to do was update move lists, then why the hell even bother making new characters instead of just updating the move lists of the existing ones? You had characters like Elena and Dudley that were fresh and exciting, but then you had Q and Remy and just wondered why they didn’t either make better move lists for them, or just use the existing characters they were based off of. I mean, Ryu and Ken don’t play the exact same but that doesn’t mean that excuses having as many shotos as SF does (and before you get your panties in a bunch I’m not comparing those SF3 characters to being shotos)

But they play REALLY different. Necro hardly even uses his Dhalsim-like pokes (and his electricity works pretty differently than Blankas). Q moves super slowly and has a weak okizeme game. It’s just a shallow assessment to say they are analogies of older characters when they share so little beyond a couple similar moves. Sagat and Ryu have more in common than Q does with Balrog or Necro does with Dhalsim. Would you prefer there just never be another character with charge dash punches again unless its Balrog?

I’m surprised you’d even use those characters as examples. Hugo I’d concede shares a bit with Gief. They are at least the same archetype. Remy is certainly a Guile clone, but he’s still way more distinct than Charlie (sonic boom machinegun anyone?)

Did you really say that to pherai? You kids need to learn some respect.

ha! does being FGD’s resident 3s curmudgeon earn me respect? sweet :bz

No, but I’d prefer more varied characters than what the end result was. We can agree to disagree but I never saw Q or Remy as anything but wasted potential. Okay I see remy as far more negative things but that’s for another day.
