Which characters aren’t in the arcade version?
There are legitiimate ways to ban infinites without banning the character, even if that is the case.
There may still be ways to escape anyway. Has anyone tried megacrush -> block -> pushblock? Block -> pushblock -> invincible move/sj? This stuff needs to be proven and executed or attempted in tournament play first.
Banning anything shouldn’t happen solely if Joe is Wii exclusive, along with the others. I’m estimating, but maybe 5 cities in North America have the board and a legit scene? Granted if there was a solid arcade here my outlook may be slightly different. But if basing this on majority opinion, if everyone who owned TVC for console agreed with this opinion, then everyone who had an arcade with TVC said ban, which side would have the majority? Assuming this is at EVO, it’s doubtful it would be on an arcade board.
Just say that Joe can’t combo the voomerang into itself more than 5 times.
or something like that. This tactic wouldn’t be too hard to ban in competitive play.
No forget that, anyone can still mega crash out of the boomerang or get out of it in the other many ways the game has implemented. Banning anything in this game after one week is by far the most retarded thing ever. Man Smash kids have really started to ruin the fighting game community.
Alright guys, calm down. I know it’s way to early to talk bans, some people have jumped the gun on that, I think it’s pretty clear now. However a whole page of “this is stupid” or “you’re ruining our community” (wtf?) is not really helping things. You’ve all proved how pro you are, now let’s move on.
Though I think the issue now is more on whether to allow Joe, Ippatsuman, Saki, and Daimaou in tourneys. They are only Wii characters, but as someone said, in US it seems like the console is more prominent.
I’m really surprised not the many people here used MvC2 as an example to defend TvC. All characters were allowed cuz they were in the arcade version, so there was no problem there. But there were a lot of silly mechanics and exploits in the game and multiple characters with extremely good tools. ROM infinite? If I recall, the only restriction on infinites were using infinites to stall for time. Other than that, I remember infinites in MvC2 being legal. Even VJ’s spam is uncanny to spam of Spiral/Doom in MvC2 imo. And even if I’m wrong, does the idea for infinites really justify the ban? Most probably agree with MAYBE (if it turns out being extremely dumb), to ban the tactic instead of the character xP
I’d give you a cookie if I could =P
Why the fuck would we ban the console only characters?
Don’t fucking turn this great thread into fucking smash brothers theory fighter wanting to ban this and that in the game before it’s even had tourney exposure cause that’s exactly what you people are doing.
“omg joe has a v.rang infinite. D:”
“omg x character has an infinite”
Pro Tip: Don’t get fucking caught in the infinite.
“omg console only characters. broke. plz ban thnx. D:”
Guess what? CONSOLE is what is used for major tournaments in the states, thus, we should allow console characters. It’s pretty clean cut. You guys are being fucking stupid about all of this and making it a lot more difficult on the community.
I love how you fucking people bitch and moan about infinites and all this other stupid shit, but when it comes to marvel, XvSF, HNK, every other marvel fighter, no one has an issue with it. But god forbid TvC have anything imbalanced about. Oh lordy, lordy no. Please not that!
Not to mention, we shouldn’t have to cater to a scene that doesn’t exist any more outside japan. It’d be stupid to. Yeah, I am aware of FFA/Denjin/CTF where every else, but they are all in Cali and NY compared to oh, I don’t know, EVERY WHERE in Japan? The arcade scene is more or less dead in America. Thus we should stop having the “arcade mentality” and stop catering to that mentality thinking it will have some amazing come back or some shit. It’s not going to happen.
^ Stuart Hayden everybody =]
No, it has nothing to do with my personality, or if I am a hater or whatever. It’s called common sense. A lot of people on SRK seem to seriously lack it.
No no no, don’t get me wrong. I was more or less agreeing with your comment. I wasn’t calling you out or anything D=
I know, stupid and crazy but Denjin is actually getting the machine. On another note:
“OMG Yami has an infinite?! Banned!!!”
-Tha Hindu
That’s cool and I am happy for Denjin but one arcade in the entire country having it doesn’t mean we should play by Arcade rules and ban console characters.
C’mon now.
You’re right. What matters most is that I’m playing TvC! 
Exactly. :woot:
Just play the game and be merry. Stop trying to ban shit because you don’t know how to get around it and/or because you suck at the game.
Just play.
Don’t have to tell me that. I don’t have a ban stick to abuse :arazz:
Huh, I think you misunderstood my post. I was just trying to make light on the matter. I agree with you though, fuck banning console only chars. We’re all playing console already so what’s the point?
-Tha Hindu
I did misread it, my mistake.
Ban Stuart Hayden. He abuses posters with his rant infinite.
Nah, just ban Stuart Hayden’s infinite >.>
I just play tested this. His infinite has invincibility frames that can be done anywhere on screen; makes VJ’s look like a joke.
