Art of Fighting 3 is really fucking good.

Anyway, Garou would be balanced really well if Kevin wasn’t LOL good.

82

Lol @ balance meaning shit in terms of whether a game is good or not.

Virtua Fighter 4 Whatever the last version was called was ridiculously good and balanced; so good and balanced that nobody wanted to play it.

83

3rd Strike, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Vampire Savior, Kof 98(no FE for the US yet), VF (any of them besides 3)

84

But wall hacks aren’t intentionally put in.

There’s a difference between everyone having an infinite and everyone having a useable one. The way XvSF played out (with it being the most pixie heavy of the VS series) meant that it was almost like everyone was running around with a ROM (except Mags who really is running around with his ROM).

P.S. VSav IMO it trumps most if not ALL other games in that list in terms of balance. Shizz shouldn’t even be disputed.

85

Guilty Gear Accent Core
Tobal 2
Arcana Heart 3 (at least it seems so far)
Virtua Fighter 5

86

vote for SS5SP
Suija is just annoying not imbalanced

87

Although a majority of this game’s roster is not viable for tournament play, the fact that there isn’t a single dominant force in that upper echelon shows a different, but possibly valid form of balance. Sooooo, thoughts on MvC2? Then again, I’m somewhat ignorant of the metagame, is there one team distinctly above the rest? Just thought I’d throw a controversial topic in the mix.

88

ah3? not with some of those character+arcana ties.
for example.
zenia+time
maori+tone
kamui+ice
fiona+earth
konoha+light
petra+tone
kira+magnetism
elsa+lightning
catherine+fire
anyone+luck

these character+arcana combinations should be seriously considered bannable from tourny play by most tournament organizers,imo.

89

You’re the best at what you do, but what you do is retarded.

90

give some reasoning for your (ill-informed) opinion before I delete this

91

I say this because I love and care about you.

If I were you, I would seriously SHUT THE FUCK UP from now on.

=)

92

Curious to see the reasonings behind some of those… I’m not sure I’ve even seen a couple of those being played.

93

fine.

Zenia+time-its not just her 46x attacks that lend itself to time. but thinking of her rushdown attacks coupled with the difficulty of her constantly getting behind you and using those rushdown attacks. makes her incredibly hard to manage.

maori+tone-hmmm. lets see. a zoning character+a zoning arcana. yeah, thats gonna be easy to get in on her for the win.
yunno what else is an easy win. facing a sentinel, doom, and ironman team in mvc2.

Kamui+ice-lets see. give a footsie driven attacker that has serious rushdown special moves an arcana that gives her even more more rushdown pressure. c’mon! try creating space from her with kamui having that set up.

fiona+earth-a character with hit stun prowess and clash cababilities having even more hit stun protection mounted on her.
lets be fair!

konoha+light-623x+623E=your ass getting knocked in the corner and having to turtle there…90% of every round!

kira+magnetism-i shouldn’t even have to explain this one. its self-explanatory.

petra+tone-even more unfair zoning ridiculousness.

elsa+lightning-214x>5E>623E=game over. a pointless match. or 4C>623E for that matter.

catherine+fire-i believe this is only subject if catherine has you cornered, otherwise its ok.

anyone+luck-ok. i’ll be honest. now this one was just me trolling.

off topic:
also, i missed u 2 saotome;)
and last saturday, i got to meet a SRK mod at next level. the one that works at the trading board…yeah, a nice, soft-spoken, and mellow type of guy.

after i told him i was axl from srk, he mentioned he was a mod here…4 a sec, i thought i was gonna get banned on sight! lol. it was just a psychological reaction. thats all. i actually winced a little from fear.
then i told him how you, lol, how you tell me @axl stfu so many times…that i’m started to think its my middle name.

Axl_stfu_m4ster
or
axl_deleting all the bs_m4ster.

good times. good times.
miss u bro.

94

HF

Most balanced FG ever.

95

Don’t take Axl seriously.

96

How is she getting behind you? random 6D? Waste of meter. Anything else is her jumping on you and you can stop that.

Tone is not a zoning arcana. If you think it is you’re either respecting their space too much or you’re doing it wrong. Not gonna get into the MvC2 bit.

Ice gives you 3 things: a better dash, a good FB and slightly easier to do EF combos. If I am full screen from Kamui and she does an arcana move with Ice, I can either homing the icicle on reaction, or homing anyway and completely avoid the slow ass snowflake. Doesn’t work.

Earth Fiona is a troll chara. Earth super armor has many holes that people just don’t know or remember how to punish.

Yeah, because Konoha’s pressure is air-tight, right? That’s why everyone uses her? You just hit 1 move and you get to do whatever you want for the whole round. That’s why she wins all the time.

No, please do, explain to the first American Kira player how this combination works so well that it should be banned.

see maori

Even if you listed the right move there it still is wrong. You can bait the post clash Bolt special, and the regular lightning bolt is not even worth using in block strings like that.

She can do so much more with so many other Arcanas that this is worthless.

I wish you would admit that this whole list was trolling

97

While I admittedly don’t play AH, I count at least 10 possible character+arcana combinations which should be fine for tournament play when the generally consensus it seems is that 4 is the minimum number of top tiers for a tournament viable fighter.

98

sent/doom/im doesn’t sound especially good…

Amusing though to declare a game horribly imbalanced and then point to… half the cast… as gamebreakingly overpowered. Especially when your selection doesn’t even include several of the consistent top tier characters and does include characters that have been consistently labeled mid/low tier. That speaks volumes for the game’s balance.

99

true…

100

Nah, Suija can easily run out the clock and 90% of the cast can’t do anything to pin him down. Plus he’s got an OP guessing game, if he jumps and you try to AA him he can put up that shield and then punish you bad. If he’s on the ground he has some very fast specials that can hit low or high and leave him safe.
