Garou is definately underrated, underplayed, and is actually GOOD.
This man speaks truth.

I’d only switch out EX2+ for EX3. The load times in that game are gonna be brutal for a tournament.
That and I can’t think of many players off hand that play EX2+ that don’t play EX3 as well, however most EX3 players won’t play EX2+.
The only players that I can think of that’d support Ex2+ in the USA would be Valle (played its arcade release), Afrolegends, and some select members of the empire (Jeron, Justin, Sabin and Sanford… possible a few more). But most of those play EX3 as well, or would if they could.
I added Big Bang Beat on to the list.
Yeah, I really wanted to do this last year, but no one in the whole city would hire me (I only had a temp job that lasted for a month,) but I think it is good that I was able to wait till now, since the “season” has ended. I’ve learned a lot just by looking at your threads (and still do), I’m seeing what I should do, and what I shouldn’t do. I wanted something like this to happen, but it seemed that no one would do something like this, so I had to step in.
As much as I like MvC1, and XvSF, these games have problems: 1. Infinites (relatively easy) 2. MvC2 is better. I think of it like this, why play WW or CE, when you can play HF, or why play NG or 2I, when you can play 3S; granted, that XvSF, and MvC1 don’t play like MvC2, but it comes down to what makes people want to go back to XvSF or MvC1, when they can play a superior version. But if this game is suggested and gets a good turn out, I’ll probably take it into consideration.
That’s true, but let’s take an example of say, HF, the game has pretty much been “figured out” by the best players, but the best players don’t play anymore (Tomo, Schaeffer, Ngo, etc…) these players played in a time where HF was literally the biggest game in the world, and they played it hours a day. If a new school player stepped in and challenged them, they would get whooped, even if they were really good, although they might win a few (which can be blamed on lack of practice or lost enthusiasm for the game.) ST tells a different story, where you have new school players being able to hang with the old school players, and the Japanese players.
By the way, if there was a tournament that didn’t host Alpha 3, and I had time to host some more side tournaments, I wouldn’t hesitate to host it, especially if it means having a revival of the game.
I know, I don’t expect these games to pull in 100 players, not even 20. These games are being represented, because they are games that are very good, but were never looked at. I know you are a huge fan of Last Blade 2, so you must understand where this is all coming from. Also, the top ranked players for these games are going to come down to “whoever spent time with it more, or whoever can quickly adapt,” moreso the former.
I understand that Arcana Heart is going to take off, and that it most likely won’t need this topic anymore (like Melty Blood,) but I’ll leave it on here just for now.
No problem, I didn’t even look at any of the videos, it was just searching, then skimming, then copying and pasting. I’m going to just post the “youtube search URL” for all the games, so that I don’t have to stress myself over trying to find videos, would that work with you?
Yeah, that would fall under SNK, even though it wasn’t made by them, but I wouldn’t take the game too seriously; the random dizzies really mess up the game, and Karnov is too good (he’s even worse than CE Bison.)
Check out Dark Geese’s thread, he’s the man for SNK games. If he doesn’t host certain SNK games, then I would probably host them.
How long are the load times for each game? I’ve only played the Arcade version for EX2+, but can Arcade EX2+ be emulated without any faults? Also, I know you like EX3 a lot, but that game plays like it’s nothing but combos, supers, etc… I might add it in, it’s past midnight here, so I’ll be able to think clearly in the afternoon.
Wow good list. Maybe add the Mai Otome fighting game? :lol:
Bleach DS2 is a personal favorite of mine that doesnt get enough love :tup:
Yeah, I have to agree here. Bleach DS 2 is a great game and you can get it at Best Buy so it isn’t like some hard to find import game or anything.
I can only see myself playing at least 6 of those games but good list nonetheless. Senko No Ronde and Vampire most definitely. Vampire’s been getting a lil bit more peeps lately.
What about Rumble Fish and Spectral vs Generation? Just thought of those two…

http://mizuumi.net has a link to the wikis I’ve set up for all the doujin games mentioned in your original post, though I personally don’t play BBB (busted) or EFZ anymore.
Nope.
[Edit]:
Also I suppose if you watch some IaMP videos and can’t understand what’s going on, I have a blog that kind of breaks down a lot of the basic and semi-advanced mechanics for the game: http://zenosip.blogspot.com/
Personally, I highly recommend skimming through the wiki page that Bellreisa linked above, and also skimming a bit of my blog just so you can get a basic understand of what you see in those match/combo videos.
[Edit2]:
Regarding the IaMP footage on Sibladeko’s and my individual pages, we both have built playlists to make looking for out IaMP footage much easier (and more organized).
Monster sounds like it would be good.
wtf no jojo’s??

heh, monster money match, khris??

Rumble Fish would actually be pretty awesome. If people were to play SvG, I would have to relearn my infinite setups. 
KOF Maximum Impact 2 and more importantly the revision, MI2 Regulation A.
It’s one of those games that people overlook because of the poor history of 2-d to 3-d conversions, but whenever they actually start playing, they really enjoy.
i love UMK3, but its far from various characters and not being broken. Kabal is god tier in that. There are some rediculous broken combos in that game and a few infinites as well. I still <3 it though.
Tarkan, yeah thats perfectly fine.
Oh lord, between this and Dark Geese stuff I don’t know if I can flake out of NEC…OR CAN I?
As much as I love EX2+, I know Shinji is right; do EX3. JoJo is where btw? PRIMAL RAGE PLZ?! Thank you sir, your hard work in addition to Centurion themed screen name will bring me hours of joy I’m sure.
I would suggest that you replace Senko no Ronde SP with Senko no Ronde Rev.X – the latter is a much more recent update and is actually playable in the US (that’s what the X360 release is).
One other game I would suggest would be Ehrgeiz (or however the fuck it’s spelled). Game is severely underrated imo, mainly due to having one of the most complicated and counter-intuitive sets of mechanics I have ever seen in a fighter. However, once you ‘get it’, the game allows for some truly crazy shit.
I like the idea, and will probably enter a bunch of tournaments at NEC if they go off.
Where the hell is Bloody Roar on this list?
