SixMachine:

Sometimes you just need to check your ports and it might be your router acting funky. There are some people I can play perfectly on the west coast (I’m east) while I can’t seem to connect to people who I presume are in my state.

Believe it or not, there are a decent amount of players like me who come and go in that room. We don’t play constantly and are learning the game but manage just to have some matches for fun. I’ve fought a decent amount of players around my level and never had anyone really be negative or salty. Even when there are higher level players in the room I still challenge them and try to have fun with it. I literally went on a 20 game losing streak and still had laughs with my opponent once. Even if you’re new you still have people who are willing to help you. I remember my first time I entered the vsav room, I randomly challenged shoultza and died pretty free. First thing he did was try to teach me about how to advance guard in the game.

Oh, this was a WHILE ago lol. yeah, I fixed that about a couple of weeks ago. And I played Shoultz too…you can ask him how that went…

Btw every aspect of fighting games is zoning if broken down…

This isn’t a thread about whether someone thinks a game is good or not. Balance is not about character variety or play style variety. Even if it was true that VS has no zoning at all and it’s a terrible game because of it, that holds no weight to whether or not the game is balanced.

Apparently it had 2 games so far. I wonder if hyper sentinel force 3 is on its way.

I hate those Spit Rocket punch filler games

Shwaffles · June 16, 2011, 2:01am

I usually cancel spit with flight.

Syke1 · June 16, 2011, 2:43am

Don’t we all? Sometimes I’ll have my bottom bitch Scotty or Cap to cover me while I finish.

BeaTs · June 16, 2011, 3:24am

magnetro cancels his split with taunt, as it’s about the same as fly/unfly

and yeah, spirit juice, that should work so that we don’t have to go back and forth with the scrubby troll

You are correct

Spirit_Juice · June 16, 2011, 5:15am

Actually, let’s say SF2: Rainbow Edition is the most balanced fighter of all time. It even fits the criteria of what some people consider a balanced game (different play styles). Every character can zone with fireballs (Tiger Flame, Shoryudokens, Fireball Lariats, 100 Fireball Hand Slaps) as well as rush down, not to mention all the match ups are even because you can always change characters in the middle of the match.

Koryu is balanced because everyone can transform into Ken and do a dragon punch.

Spirit_Juice · June 16, 2011, 8:28am

Best game.

Dr_Butler · June 16, 2011, 9:15am

Garou and MvC1. Also, Guilty Gear Accent Core.

PointBreak91 · June 16, 2011, 5:46pm

Shwaffles · June 16, 2011, 6:55pm

Wait… Garou and MvC1 are balanced? That’s a first.

Neverending_Manga · June 16, 2011, 8:30pm

How balanced was SF2: hyper fighting?

philcito · June 16, 2011, 8:41pm

Super Turbo
HD Remix
Super Street Fighter IV

I love ST but it doesn’t deserve a top 5 listing in this category. Too many lopsided matches.
