So, did any of you see this article? Man, it has been a long time since reading a random article got me this mad. I spent almost 2 hours writing a comment on it because it’s so astoundingly bad that i had to figure when to stop tearing it apart.
Yeah, I made a reply. Its bad on a number of fucking levels, but all the casuals who suck at fighters all get to high five each other after reading it and shit on the hardcore fighting game community.
Yeah. I made a quick reply, then I made another to urge people to read yours, since you reiterated what I wanted to say so much better. But yeah, all of the garbage flowchart Kens and DOA “masters” are too busy with their celebratory circle-jerks in the comments to think about why people flamed Holmes for his original 3S review.
I write for a living, man. This guy gets articles posted on major websites, and that’s the kind of quality and effort he puts into it. It’s fucking sickening.
I haven’t been that unable to finish reading something since we had to read The Crucible in middle school. I’d rather read the script from Superman 64 than read through that again.
You should totally finish reading that comment. It’s great comedy. That’s the least objectionable part. I especially like when he said that it’s the 2D fighter players that care about frame data, and the 3D players don’t care so much.
Oh god. Virtua Fighter… where to begin. The one fighter I intentionally didn’t try to get into because I KNOW I’m not smart enough. 3D. go figure.
well…finished my part to this 9/11 tribute animated short. im bummed i couldnt do more, but got a retail job that is requiring me to do morning shifts. Im excited to see how this turns out…lol so ive officially done music videos,stunt man,professional dancer and now animation. lol…when i get to 80 i wonder how many odd jobs i will have ended up wit.
#respect i own vf4 and occasionally i pick it up and realize that shit looks like advanced calculus to me. im kinda curious what kind of person is really good at that game…like are they super smart/average/or a complete nutjob.
Maxx, U R a PATRIOT!!
I used to dabble in VF4 back in high school, thought that I was really good.
Fast forward to 2009, played some online VF5 on 360. I think I won…a round out of 70-80 matches. And I’m pretty sure that it was a pity round, too.
I tried to get into Tekken, but that shit is all about frame data, too. Which moves can punish this, is this move so many frames so I can follow up with this move that has so many frames. Remember, we’re talking about HUNDREDS OF MOVES PER CHARACTER, and there’s a lot of fucking characters in Tekken 6.
So lol @ that 3d fighter comment. LOL @ all these fucking comments
Remember when she actually looked delicious?
Meanwhile…that demilia Devatto chick was looking tempting at the Video Music Awards.
i havent competively played a tekken since 4 back when they introduced the frame data shit. i pick it up once in a while at a anime con…5,6 steve and bryan have essentially stayed the same lol. i just like knowing the feeling i can still beat a scrub even though i havent really touched it since 4.
Yeah, I can still do Demoman with relative ease with Paul Phoenix, and abuse the hell out of Phoenix Smasher, so I can still scrub my way to victory.
Goddamn do I want some Paul Phoenix in SFxT. He aint in, we riot
steve fox vs dudley needs to go down for the best dempsey roll. tf4 dempsey roll infinite had me dying.
I used to fuck my little brother up with T4 dempsey roll. That nigga was mad as hell, think I scared him off fighting games forever.
Paul/Steve team supreme, yes please
I feel that sometimes. You just read something so goddamn stupid, and then you see everybody agreeing and high-fiving over it, and you just think, “…WHAT!?” and go in, long and hard(yeah I said it).
That was a really bad article, mayne
I’d say the game I’m smartest about is CvS2, and even then, I’m merely competent. Trying to play Virtua Fighter is like trying to learn theoretical physics when your science education stopped at high school.
All I know is Fuudo is good at VF. And that guy won EVO AND GODSGARDEN in the same year. Nigga must be the Albert Einstein of fighting game players.
